Miles POV

This is amazing! She knows so amazing people who can teach me this Spider-Man thing too and become even better. They could let me join this secret spider society of theirs, where there are other Spider people like me! I could help out and add to the team, Can you believe it dude? Y/n and I could join and and save the multiverse again which, I guess, we didn't actually save considering the whole force thing was created to save the multiverse verse, but then again we did prevent it from all blowing us up and killing off everyone's dimension too but hey, the point is this is amazing for us. I get to hang out with Gwen again and find Peter, find the other spiders to caught up with and maybe meet some new spider people who will get me, my life, and how it all is. I can finally talk to someone about this whole thing about their Mj also being Spider-Woman!

I can't wait to tell y/n when I get back. But i gotta catch up with Gwen and try to find out more and see how she's been for a while since I last saw her... once I find her, though.

"Aye, where'd she go?"

I swing around, trying to look around, but there was nothing, like she had just disappeared again, but this time with no goodbye, all until someone slightly taps my shoulder.Gwen.

"Hey, where'd you go?"

"Looking for you," she answers by me and pats at my chest before swinging ahead of me, heading towards y/n and I's favorite place to watch all of Brooklyn.

<<<<☆>>>>

"This is a cool thinking spot,"

"Right? I mean, who needs a treadmill when you have the Williamsburg Bank building?" I tell her as we walk on the round structure that sits a top the whole larger building.

"So uh... you and your dad. You still haven't talked?" I try to make conversation with her, though she pauses for a second, but carries on, I hit a nerve.

"What exactly would we talk about? Hey, Dad. How have the last few months been? You still think I murdered my best friend?""  She jumps off and onto a ledge and stares out to Brooklyn.

I feel bad for the girl, I mean. I personally have experienced my best friend dying, but hey, at least she came back. But I still do get how this girl feels. My dad almost thought I killed...my uncle. And I get it. It sucks.

"Uhh It's a start? But I mean my parents... maybe if I told them -"

"Don't! Trust me of that. " she ties her hair and walks under the ledge.

I take a moment to think about this because I generally do feel bad. I jump off and catch the side of the ledge to find her sitting upside-down.

"Well, maybe some things are supposed to be for us?" She smiles and turns to me momentarily with a look of comfort but something else.

"That's another way to think about it" I flip my body upside-down to sit down behind her as well on the ledge.

"I'm just a really emotionally intelligent guy. Beyond my years" I confidently add, because well it's true. Over the years I've had a personal coach there to help me with these emotions, and right now I can almost imagine her giving me a side glance waiting for me to mention her contribution to this achievement.

"You know it really is so great to talk to you. Sad y/n isn't here, I missed her a lot and would have liked a girl on girl talk. "

"Uhh, let's just say part of it is she's been overworking herself." she nods and faces back to the view, I crawl over to her and sit near her to stare out too.

"I mean, how many people can you talk to about this stuff?" I think on that for a second, but she sighs dramatically afterward, I turn to her with a questioning grin.

"What?"

"You're the only guy friend I've really made after Peter,"

"We're the same." I smile at her , and she gives a soft smile too. She takes a deep breath in and looks up? Or down?

"In everything other universe. Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man...."
My throat twists, and I can see her hand move closer to mine as I'm frozen like a statue in my place next to her. I was not expecting this today, or ever!

"But in every other universe...it doesn't end well..." her hand stops in its track.

"But...I believe there's also a first time for everything." she looks at me this time after the confession falls from her mouth with hope, but it drops when she observes me closely.

"Uhh Gwen...I'm flattered, but I'm -"

"In love with y/n....your Spider-Woman."

"......yeah..."

"I know but...I can't help it. Miles, you're such an amazing person and an amazing friend, too. Y/n is lucky to have you, and you're lucky to have her. She's got your back, but don't forget I got yours too. I care just as much about you, Miles. I want us to be just friends, it's all I really did want"

The silence between us grows the seconds going by that I can't seem to formulate words to tell her whatevers going on in my head right now, she visibly is nervous from the fists at her sides, the red on her ears and cheeks and the frow in her eyebrows. She's a great person really and I enjoy her company but.....as my friend.

"Just friends." I pull out a hand to her, almost like when I'd asked her if we could be friends back then, but this is different now. She's different, I'm different. We're different from back then.

She looks at it then at me with a pained, almost disappointed expression in her eyes but her expression remains neutral, suddenly my spider senses go off and I pull a hand to my cheek which is kissed by Gwen.

"Just friends," she bumbs into me with a nervous laugh looking everywhere but at me. The silence swallows me up, and I feel my gut twist in discomfort. This is not how I wanted this interaction to go. At. All.

"Uhh, also, I just have one more thing to ask you." she speaks up again, and I'm almost scared to answer her, but I do nonetheless.

"Yeah?"

"Please don't tell y/n....you know about all this. I really love being her friend and wouldn't want this to affect our friendship. "

'And ours?'

"Uhh...mhhh." i look at her nervously once again, trying how to handle this.
