Tom Holland and Peter Parker Imagines

I Was Content With That. (TH)

Hey y'all, Ik I've been gone for a while but I'm trying to be back and be better than ever so without further ado, enjoy some angst and some fluffy fluff fluff at the end. 

"Do you remember when you tripped on the beach and your teeth hit the sand?" 

"Yes, Tom, I remember." I say pulling my hand up to my forehead. 

This is where I'd always wanted to be. Tom and I have been friends since forever and ever since the day that I met him, I'd slowly fallen in love with him. Through the time when his dog died to the time when he got the role of Spider-Man, we have been best friends. But ever since I had told him that I fell in love with him, it's been something more or less. I'm not really sure. It's kind of the same.

I was one of those unspoken things you never seem to talk about. I was kind of content with that.  Like maybe if I had never said anything about it, it would never change. But being content was getting hard when it was day by day I would watch the person that I love go on like nothing had happened.

See, I told him I loved him and I told him how I feel, but I've never seen him react to it, and I don't know how he construed it.

But right then we were laying on the couch, listening to music and going over memories of our childhood together, and by 'laying on the couch' I mean I was sitting and leaning on one arm and he was on the opposing one, facing each other.

"And when you hit the sand there was a beach volley ball game going and they all stopped to laugh at you." 

"Yes! I said I remember my clumsiness." I said laughing a little harder.

My mind couldn't help but think of all the times we had together, and my mind went blank. I couldn't help but think of how much I wanted him to be mine. I slowed down my laughter and then it went to an immediate stop. I felt my emotions getting the best of me and that wasn't common for me to do. I felt my face get hot and the lump in my throat growing stronger.

"Whats wrong, love?" Tom said leaning up and scooting closer.

"I'm okay.." I said lying. 

"Is it about-"

"Yes, it is." The lump in my throat was hot and expanding. I couldn't help but emotionally vomit to my best friend, who has been there since forever to hear said barf.

"I can't help the way I feel about you, and I can't change how you feel about me. But I can't go on like this thinking that this is never going to be talked about again because the anticipation of this emotional puke is killing me. Tom, I don't know what to do about you because I care for you so much and you're amazing. Genuinely amazing." 

I felt a familiar liquid congregate at my bottom eyelid. 

"You are everything I've ever wanted and I'm so happy you're in my life, but I can't go on like this slowly breaking myself because it's not talked about. I need you in my life, you are my rock and my anchor, but I just can't do this without you-" 

I was interrupted by a pair of hands slowly moving around my sides towards my back and as soon as I looked up to see what he was doing, I was met with his eyes looking so deep into mine I felt that the shallow of our gaze was enough for self hate to drown in. 

He put his lips to mine and I felt the lump in my throat melt and the butterflies in my stomach start a rave. LiKE MOShpiT tYPE RAvE. Our lips moved together in sync, his warm mouth moved perfectly with mine. 

He pulled away after a few seconds and my tear stained cheeks were cupped by his hand. 

"In other words-" I tried.

He kissed me again. 

"I love you too." he said.

He pushed his arms around me and held me. We listened to music and remembered our childhood until we fell asleep. So yeah I was never told that he was my 'boyfriend', but we loved each other.

I was content with that.
