chasing waterfalls [Peter Parker]

~55~

"Spider-Man's name is Peter Parker!" 

"Holy shit!" I looked up at Peter. He had his hands on his head, just as surprised as I was. Mysterio just revealed to the world that Peter Parker was Spider-Man. 

"That's right, folks. Peter Parker. A 17-year-old high school delinquent..." The crowd around me started yelling, and I started to push through the crowd. Peter jumped down from the lamppost. People started crowding around us, shouting more things at Peter. 

"Nixie, we gotta go." He grabbed my hand, and just like that, we were up in the air. I was holding onto him as he swung through the city, dodging helicopters and cars. 

We got to Peter's apartment, and he opened the window. As soon as we got inside, he turned on his phone because Ned was calling. While he was on the phone, I looked out the window. 

Peter hung up the phone and started to take off his suit. At that very moment, the door opened, and Happy was on the other side. He looked at the two of us, then started walking away.

"I didn't see anything." May walked in the room, and Peter called out to Happy.

"This isn't what it looks like, Happy." Happy turned back around. "Wait, have you been crying?" I looked at Happy.

"We broke up." All eyes were on Happy now.

"Oh. Oh, uh..." Peter shot a web at the blinds and closed the window. I grabbed a shirt and tossed it to him. "I didn't know you broke up." He turned to May. "I thought you were in love, May." He then started walking out of his bedroom. "Can we talk about this in the kitchen?" 

"I should probably leave, I think." Happy started mumbling. Peter kept talking to May. 

"I thought you guys were such a handsome couple." 

"You know, it's really about boundaries." May responded, and the doorbell rang. "Let me answer the door." Peter directed her in the opposite direction. I noticed that the door was open, and I quickly shut it. 

"I was gonna go, but..." Happy started talking, until he heard noise outside. "What's that sound?" Peter ran over to the windows and shut the blinds. Happy kept talking to May while Peter closed the windows. He then ran over to the tv. May's phone started ringing, and Peter grabbed it.

"Will you get off your phones for five minutes? I just want to talk to you about your relationship." I noticed the tv was showing this apartment building. 

"Hey, Peter." He looked up at me. "The TV." He turned around, and May and Happy noticed the tv.

"Is that, is that here?" Happy asked. Peter sighed. 

"Um..." He slowly walked over to the closest window and opened the blinds. May rushed over to the window. There were at least three helicopters circling the building. "I mean, maybe it's not such a big deal."
