MSM 2017 Story: Secret Identities, Love Stories, Goblins, and Spiders

"He Saved My Life..."

POV: Harry Osborn

I was crossing the road to get to Joe's, when I heard a screeching sound. "Look out!!!" Someone cried.

At that moment, my heart skipped a beat as Spider-Man himself blocked the car, shooting two webs at the building i cowered in fear of the car that it was going to be my end and Spider-Man couldn't stop it in time, but Spider-Man kept going and did not give up. He kept blocking it until it got so close to us,that we were so close to each other,that I could see through his mask, and see what eye color he had.

... light green eyes... pale skin...

I couldn't study his look any further, because the crowd around us cheered, and Spider-Man has seemed to lose almost all of his energy. "You saved me." I said, helping him up because he almost collapsed of exhaustion before his hand caught himself.

"Of course Ha- I mean *ahem* young man." I tilted my head, I caught that mistake! He was fixing to say "Harry"! "Of course I would say everyone in this city." said Spider-Man, I didn't fully believe him but I just went with the flow.

"Thanks Spider-Man! I was just going to meet my boyfriend over at this restaurant. If you want you can change out of that costume, and-" I said, about to invite him to the hangout, but Spider-Man quickly countered.

"What? No! I can't do that!" He said quickly. I was confused. "What? Why? The Avengers let everyone know who they are." I said. I then realized, with his following reply, that he was obviously not part of the Avengers:

"It's called a 'secret identity' and 'protecting the people you love'  because if anyone found out about my secret identity everything I know and love can be destroyed, so...sorry. Have fun with your boyfriend." He waved goodbye to me, before shooting a web.

"Bye!"I called out. He didn't answer, as he just vanished from my sight. I sighed and finished my walk towards Joe's. I had to sit there and wait for an hour before Peter finally came.

"Hey, Har!" said the familiar voice. "FINALLY! Our dinner was getting cold Pete!" I replied. "Sorry. Aunt May, uh- made me take out the trash" chuckled Peter. I chuckled as well as Peter sat down, we both started eating.

But for some reason, I couldn't eat. Maybe it was because of my earlier encounter with the Spider hero? Light green eyes... pale skin... I took a glance of Peter. Light green eyes... pale skin...

No! Peter can't be Spider-Man. He doesn't know sports. Spider-Man looks like he is very strong the way he stopped the car from hitting me just in the nick of time.

"So.. I heard about what happened... with you and *ahem*
Spider-Man." fake-coughed Peter. I realized what he was intending.

"Oh,no! Pete! I was just trying to be friendly.. besides! He just saved my life from a speeding car! He.. he saved my life." I cleared up.

"Okay," said Peter. "I still love you Pete." I confirmed. "As long as that's true" replied Peter. "It is. It is! I love you more than anything! I would trade the WORLD for you. Heck I would even destroy my father or Spider-Man for you. I really love you." I established.

"Destroy Spi- Uh thanks Harry. You are forgiven." said Peter very quickly. "Okay. Great. I wouldn't want to lose you. I need you in my life in order to live, Pete." I said.

"Alright then." said Peter.

I tried to brush it off, the fact that I was thinking about Spider-Man so much... the fact that he made my heart skip a beat when he raced to rescue me.. I just couldn't get him off my mind.. and so when I fell asleep thinking about him...

I awakened thinking about him...
