Part 6

Peter's POV

"...Of course" I quickly swung to the rooftop of the building I left my bag of groceries and my actual clothes on and quickly grabbed them. My oversized hoodie and my sweatpants were soaked. But it didn't matter, I took my mask off and put the wet clothes on, and swung home. Why did he do that? I just hope Harry isn't wondering why I'm not home.

Harry's POV

"Why isn't Peter home?" I wondered while stepping into the house. It was whatever, at the moment. I went to sit down on the couch to rethink everything that had just happened. I kept thinking about why I would have done that. Why? I understand that my opinion of him changed, but that much? Yeah he's pretty magnificent and he sounds it too, but.

I don't think I should have done that.

The door opened and stood there shivering, soaked Peter. "Pete, where we're you? Oh my god, and you're soaked!" I said dragging him in. "I'm fine Har." He nervously chuckled. "Why'd you get home so late?" I asked. "Well I went to get the groceries and almost every street corner was blocked off, so I took a long way.." Was he lying to me?
"Really...? I didn't see any streets closed off at all." I wanted to tell him about tonight so bad, but I feel like it would confuse him. For all he knows, I hate Spider-Man, like I'm supposed to.

But the truth is...
I don't hate Spider-Man. It sucks that I have to say that though, 'cause anyone in my view would despise the guy. And I did for the time being. Before my father died, Spidey was known for saving the city, and he saved me a lot too. I was a big fan of his. He never did any wrong or gave me bad vibes, except for being a bit of a reason for my Horizon suspension last year. But yet still that wasn't much wrong. Until...

When dad died in the Oscorp explosion, All my passion for how much I hyper-fixated over Spider-Man, was gone. He became my hatred immediately and I had to warn people that he was a menace. But that all changed this night. Maybe I was jealous of how good of a person he used to be. Or maybe I'm just at anger with the fact that I have a crush on our superhero civilian. That was the first time he really noticed me like that. It made me happy, so I made a move... I wasn't proud I did, but I wasn't thinking.
I'm toast if anyone finds out.

"Earth to Harry..." I hear Peter faintly say as he shakes his hand in front of my face. "Sorry, I dozed off." I groaned. "I know, That's okay." He glared. "Are you alright, buddy? You have a giant bruise on your face and your clothes seemed all crinkled and wrecked." He placed his thumb on my cheek where I got punched from and gently rubbed it. "Pete, I'm okay." I felt my face heat up in embarrassment.

"Just wanted to make sure."
