Part 12

Peter's POV

I nodded and built the nerve to let it out.
"Harry, If I had a secret, but I knew it would really upset you, would you still wanna hear it?" I asked, scared for an answer. "Absolutely. We're best friends. There should be no secrets between us." he says.

I gulp and sigh shakenly. "If that's settled then, I have something to tell you..." I say fidgeting with my fingers. "It'll upset me right..?" he chimes. I nod. "Bring it, Parker. I'll control my emotions to hear it, I promise."

I exhale and proceed to shoot a web at the bag of food. He gasps and I could see the discomfort and shock on his face. I lower my head and look at him slightly with my eyes only.

"Wh-.."

"You..really were Spider-Man." he asserts. "I suspected, but you couldn't reveal the truth?" he yells. "Wait...You knew?" I asked alarmed. "What? No, I was like..63% sure lately, but I never really thought that I could be right..." I gulp.

"All this time Pete, why, didn't you tell me?" he asked looking down. "I'm sorry...I couldn't." I say looking away, getting uncomfortably sensitive. "You couldn't...?'

I turn away from him and started to let a tear water as I covered my burrowed face onto my knees.

"Pete..." He reaches his hand out to me as I turn to hold it. He pulls me in for a hug and I melt down on his chest. "Harry, I'm so so sorry I never told you. I know I should've and im wrong for not doing so sooner." I cried.

"No, Pete, It's alright..." He hushed me.
"It's not," I mumbled. "I was always just so afraid, after all your hatred of me, and even before it. I just wanted to protect you and keep you safe, and I thought my identity being a secret would help. But it didn't." I groaned.

Harry continued to hold me tight and sighed, "I know I would've wished for you to tell me sooner, but I guess it feels sudden now that you actually have." he exhales. "Yeah," I chuckle softly. "I guess I expected you to be more upset," I told him. "Oh, I'm very upset, but not at you. Never at you..."

"Why not? I'd be really upset at me for this if I were you." I groan. "Well good thing you're not me. And, as for why me being upset isn't directed to you..." He pulled away from me and looked me in the eyes before passionately kissing me. I lost myself in it at first but immediately kissed back and felt like I brought myself to paradise. 

"It's because I could never be upset at you. You're more loyal to me than you are to almost anyone and way more loyal than others towards me. You've been there when I needed you and thats what's strengthened us. So I hope I didn't interoperate your feelings any differently." he sighs. I stand up and help him up with me. "You didn't." I blush.
