Radioactive - Parksborn

Part 13

Harry's POV

I helped him up from the grassy field ground, as we interlocked our hands and made eye contact. "Come on, bugs let's go home." he nodded in agreement, reddening at the name I gave him. The conversation we had on the walk home was very bittersweet. "You suspected all this lately," he sighed.

"Yup," I said silently. "Gosh, I should've told you then. I mean, how much do you think could have been avoided if I told you, the day I got that spider bite at Oscorp?" he said stubbornly upset at his mistake. "But none of that matters, Peter, you're my everything, and I'll be here for you during anything that happens from now on," I explained to him. "Your everything?"
"What do you mean?" he asked. I sighed,

"Pete, you're the only one who sees me for who I am. Not 'Son of Norman Osborn', not 'Mr. Osborn, the new founder of Oscorp', just Harry Osborn. When you told me that your loyalty was to me, I knew at that very moment that if I trust anyone for the rest of my life, it's always gonna be and always has been you, Pete. And thank god for you, Pete, cus' you're all I have left" I told him.

"Harry, I'll always be here for you, too. Just as I have no idea where I'd be without you. You know, For the longest time, I felt at my highest when I was with you like my life fully decided to begin the day I met you. You were always there when I needed my spirits lifted. You're my go-to, and I'm lucky to have you." he replied.

"..Pete.. you're making me blush " I chuckled flusteredly. The brunette laughed at that. "Well, it's true! Plus, I had a huge crush on you since at least the summer after eighth grade, I was questioning if it was genuine because...again, you were one of my only friends, and I only ever had a crush on a girl or two. so liking a boy, my best friend, was so..."

"Confusing?" I added as he nodded. "Yeah well, same here. I'm not sure when I got a crush on you, my feelings for you just grew over time, especially recently, and by the time I knew it, I kept seeing your personality every time I saw Spider-Man, it would overlap so much to the point, last night.." "You got too caught up in your thoughts and kissed me- well, Spidey."
"Yes,"
"Well thats alright Har, I kinda enjoyed it," he said crimson. We finally made our way home and I smiled at him

"Of course, you did."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he hollered.
"It means that you love me, doesn't it?" I tease him.
"Oh you love me too, big softie!" he said getting in the apartment.

"Softie? You know what, whatever you say."
I roll my eyes.
"You know, I'm right, Osborn."
"Shut up," I said as we walked over to the room.
"Make me." he smiled. I playfully pushed him onto his bed.
"Is that a challenge?" I asked genuinely.

"...Shit," he said regretting what he had said moments before.
