Byler: A Spiderman AU. - Our Tangled Web Of Love

chapter 15 (i think)

A/N: damn my posting schedule is more fucked than my school life.

Will slowly opened his eyes. The world looked hazy and he felt excruciating pain in his side. The memories of the previous night came back to him quickly. He looked up at the sleeping raven haired boy in front of him and smiled.

Will sat up a little too quickly. He winced as he felt the wound on his side. He brushed it off because he wanted to seem strong, just in case someone was watching. He looked lovingly at his freckle faced lover and placed a kiss on his nose. He looked over at the screen on the wall. On it read.  March 21st , 10: 01 am 

Great. He thought. He went over to the screen and switched it off. He didnt need any reminder of what day it was. He should have been exhilarated. Less than one day till he turned 17. But he could hardly bring himself to smile. Let alone celebrate. He would usually spend today with aunt may, both in happiness and depression. But she had once again been out. Somewhere in the bahamas. And will was alone. Only 2 hours and 3 minutes away from the worst moment of his entire life.

Mike stirred slightly realising the lack of contact between him and will. He opened his eyes and saw will staring at the black screen. He was confused. At first. Then he looked at his phone and checked the date. Oh he thought. Its that day .

"Good morning my love," mike said softly.

Will was startled slightly and turned around to see mike sitting up looking at him sympathetically.

"Mike stop. Dont look at me like that.." wills voice trembled as he spoke.

"Sweetheart, you have just been stabbed. Come back to the bed and rest." Mike said opening his arms.

Will walked over and rested his head on mikes chest as mike held one of his hands and played with wills hair with his other hand.

"Do you maybe want to tell me how you feel?" Mike asked.

"N-no.." wills voice broke as he spoke. He was on the verge of tears.

"Love, its a sad day for you. I understand. You can cry! Dont try and put on a brave face when ive literally seen you cry at the movie frozen."

Will giggled slightly, tears streamed down his cheek in pure and utter agony. At this moment he wished that the theif had stabbed him to death. Mike stroked wills head and kissed his forhead.

"It will be okay will, righr now hes probably looking down at you, smiling. He would be so proud of the man you are today will. Saving peoples lives?! Being the sweet, kind hearted boy that you are. How could he not be?" Mike smiled.

Will smiled too, "youre right mike, thank you. I love you so much." He said. "Im going to go have a shower, and change out of this gown because its so, bleugh. Okay?"

Mike nodded and gave will a kiss on the cheek. Will smiled and went off.

Once will had finished with getting ready. He threw on a black and red hoodie and a spiderman mask. He webbed through an open window and starting swinging through the city, trying not to open his stiches. He eventually made it to a hot dog stand and bought one for himself. He went to a more secretive area and ate his hot dog in peace. He looked at the time. 11:54. Now it was only ten minutes till the worst moment of his life. Will took of the hoodie and the mask, chucked them into a rucksack he he had brung and walked out of the alley.

He slipped through the busy streets and made his way to a gate. NYC CEMETERY. He took a deep breath. And walked in. After about another two minutes of walking, he found what he was looking for.

Here lies Benjamin Franklin Parker- byers, a son, a husband, an uncle. We will miss you so much.

Will sat crossed legged in front of the grave.

"Hey, uncle ben. Its me! Haha.." he began. "Its officially, 12:04, which means its been exactly 3 years since you died.."

"I know its been a while since we last spoke, well i mean since i last spoke and you listening to me from wherever you may be.. uhm, its been a rough few years without you here. Aunt mays been strong, for all of us. I uhm- i wish i could say the same about ne though. Ive been- a total wreck. I dont know what im even doing anymore. Uhm- oh god look at me, crying again wow uhm- do i ever stop haha. But uhm.. ive got a boyfriend now! If you didnt already know haha, and its mike! So yeah, i know youd32 support me.. uhm, i am so so sorry uncle ben, i know its all my fault! And if i could change the past i would so desperately!.."

will paused, and sighed.

"Yesterday, when i got stabbed, it was probably the most relaxed ive ever felt, the most free id felt in a while actually. And i love life, i really do! But, sometimes i wish that it was me in the place, not you.. and, i guess i wish that he had killed me, maybe id finally feel at ease again. Maybe, maybe i could see you again! That would have been the best birthday present.." will laughed gently.

"You know, mr stark keeps saying that one day he will defy all the laws of physics and build a machine that will bring you back to life, he says its because he wants to fight for custody over me.. but in reality he wants me to feel whole again... nothing in the world, not even mike, can fill the void that your death left in my mind and heart. I miss you so much. And im so sorry that my own ignorance lead to the worst moment of my life.."
