The Name Is Spider-Man

Chapter 9 Accepting Truths

"Okay I'm ready." Peter said he sat down on the couch next to Wade. Peter watched the man he fiddled with his thumbs he seemed nervous. "Hey, it's alright if you don't want to show me." Peter said he grabbed Wade's hand squeezing it reassuringly.

"No it's okay it's just been a while since I've shown someone." Wade said he gave Peter a grateful smile. "I want to show you. I mean it's only fair." Wade said shrugging despite the nervous tone in his voice.

"I don't want you to think you owe me anything Wade." Peter said he looked at their linked hands and blushed.

"Like I said I want to. Want to do the honors?" Wade asked he brought Peter's hand up the edge of his mask. Peter ran his finger over the crease of the mask after he took off the mask their would be no going back ever. Peter hesitated he felt Wade's hand go back over his guiding his fingers under the edge lifting it up slightly.

Peter gulped he knew that Wade's face reveal wasn't that serious but Wade said he hadn't shown anyone in a long time. Did that mean he trusted Peter more than anyone else? Peter rolled the mask up to Wade's nose he stared at the exposed skin. "I know it's bad Webs but jeez you're sure making a girl confident with your staring." Wade joked his voice was faltering signaling he was self conscious.

Wade went to pull his mask back down thinking Peter found him hideous just like everyone else. Wade trusted Spiderman but why would he think different of his face than everyone else? Wade started cussing himself out in his head his mask was almost all the way down when Peter's hand stopped him.

"Wade your not ugly. I was uh just staring because your face isn't that bad from what I've seen so far." Peter said he blushed he wanted to facepalm at his rambling. Peter was trying to say he found Wade attractive without actually saying it. Wade would surely never let him forget if he knew Peter had a crush on him.

No not crush Peter thought they were just friends. I'm only having these reactions due to him making me nervous. Peter's thoughts sounded weak even to him. "You know what screw it." Peter said he had enough of imagining Wade's lips on his own he knew Wade liked him or at least Spiderman.

"My face isn't bad, hmmm? And what do you mean screw it? I'd gladly let you do that to me anyway Sweetums." Wade said he made Peter blush harder. Peter punched him it the arm lightly looking away from Wade. Wade used this time to pull his mask off throwing it somewhere in the room.

  Wade felt nervous when Peter had been watching him in disgust? No he'd confirmed he wasn't. Then he was stumped. Wait he looked at Peter like that. No way Wade thought to himself. He almost jumped for literal joy at the thought of Spiderman liking him.

Peter looked back his eyes were wide as he was met with a face and not the usual red mask. "Woah man what a way to scare a guy." Peter said he put a hand to his chest to stop his loudly thuding heartbeat. Peter felt his blush deepen as he took in Wade's face. He put a hand up to trace along his jawline feeling all the scars and raised bumps.

Wade leaned into the touch he let Peter trace all his scars. Instead of feeling judged or like a big under a microscope Wade felt good actually. Peter pulled his hand back Wade grabbed it he put it to his lips and kissed Peter's knuckles. Peter coughed he didn't look away this time instead watching what Wade was doing closely.

"So Spidey what can I call you other than spider themed nicknames? If you're comfortable that is." Wade said he stared into Peter's eyes trying to judge his reaction.

"Uh, Peter. Peter Parker." Peter said he smiled at Wade.

"Nice to meet you Peter Parker." Wade said he smiled back. "You know I'm sure you know about my little infatuation with you. So uh do you maybe feel the same I mean if you don't it's perfectly okay I totally get it God are you straight I am so sorry-" Wade rambled he was cut off by Peter.

"Wade stop talking." Peter said Wade complied shutting his mouth. "I like you to idiot." Peter said he felt like his face was on fire at this point. Peter thought no one man should have this kind of power to him to make him feel this intense of emotions.

"What really?" Wade asked hopefully he looked like a child that just got told they could have as much candy as they wanted. Peter nodded his head he was also grinning so much it hurt his face. "Can I uh kiss you." Wade asked he looked down at Peter's lips.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Peter said grinning harder not thinking it was even possible. Wade pulled him into his lap he leaned down looking at Peter for permission one more time. Peter nodded Wade closed the gap between them.

Peter put one of his hands on the back of Wades head. He knew Wade wasn't going to pull away but he didn't want to take a chance. Peter had wanted this for a while he couldn't believe it was happening. One of Wades hands came to rest on his hip Peter let him. Peter usually wouldn't let anyone do that to uncomfortable with his own body to let anyone touch him.

Peter kissed back like his life depended on it. He found he liked how Wade's lips were rough against his own soft ones. When they both separated Peter was disappointed. It must have shown on his face because Wade chuckled. "I'll gladly give you another kiss Peter Parker." Wade said he liked the way his name sounded coming from Wade's mouth.

"Better get to it then." Peter said he smiled at Wade he snuggled into the man's chest content.
