When she got home that night, the purple roses were immediately in a vase on her desk. She was still smiling so much.

And the day couldn't get any better; a small knock happened right at her window. Grace was really excited to see Spider-Man.

But she suddenly felt guilty. Peter was who she loved, and seeing Spider-Man made her feel like a traitor. Especially after he slept over.

She was caught in a love triangle with the boy she had always loved, and a masked superhero. Someone she knew for years, and someone she had mistakenly met when she was almost attacked.

Spider-Man climbed in, and Grace gave him a soft smile.

"Who are the flowers from?" he asked. She could almost feel the smirk beneath his mask.

Grace glanced over at the flowers that just happened to be her favorite color, and her favorite shade of it. Peter always remembered the smallest details about her.

But here she was quickly transitioning from being giddy about her first date with her crush to admiring Spider-Man in her room.

She usually always wanted to see him. But not now. He was making her think about someone else than the sweet brunette who had just taken her on a date.

"Peter Parker," Grace said softly.

Spider-Man moved closer, playfully touching Grace's hair. "Is he your boyfriend?"

Grace wasn't sure what they were anymore. They had technically went on a date, but nothing was official yet.

"No. But he took me on a date."

"Oh, he did?"

She wasn't sure what was in his voice. Jealousy? Sarcasm? Grace was at a disadvantage because she had no idea who he was under the mask. He could be friends with Peter for all she knew.

"We... we need to talk about the other day."

"When I slept over?"

Grace nodded.

"What about it, Gracie? I'm really sorry if you didn't want me to, I just-"

Grade shook her head, knowing that he wasn't seeing what she was getting at. He couldn't understand how crazy this was for her. One morning, she woke up next to Spider-Man cuddling her.

"No, it's not that. We were just so close..."

His body relaxed, and then tensed up again. Both of them knew that they were closer than most friends would ever be.

Grace's relationship with the hero was very mixed. Could she even say they were friends if he hadn't seen his face?

However, they hung out almost everyday in Grace's room. And they helped each other at their worst times. They definitely had a connection.

"I really liked being that close to you," Spider-Man admitted, want for her in his voice.

As soon as he moved closer and he began to touch her, Grace got that feeling in her stomach. It was a mix of butterflies, but also a sense of wrong.

Was she betraying Peter by doing this? They weren't really dating, but this just felt so wrong... Especially with his flowers just sitting on her desk.

If this was what was happening, one kiss wouldn't hurt. Right?

Grace smiled. "How's this going to work?"

Spider-Man suddenly lifted up the bottom half of his mask. She was surprised that he was comfortable enough with her to do that. His lips were curved into a smirk, and as soon as she touched his face for the first time, she melted.

His skin was so soft, and she could just tell he as a whole looked amazing under that mask. It all just felt so familiar. His scent, his facial features....

Grace's hands traced his jawline, and their lips neared closer every second. Finally, they locked and both of them continued passionately.

This was Grace's first kiss. She had always imagined it to be Peter. But it was Spider-Man.

Both of them seemed to be enjoying it, and it just escalated more and more. Grace and Spider-Man's innocent kiss suddenly turned into making out.

What had she gotten herself into?
