They aren't me*

Chapter two

Swinging in my chair I pull my mask on "hello Karen!" I say, pushing across my bedroom "hey Peter, having a good evening?" She asks, laughing I drop my head back "please play back to earlier with michelle, when we was swinging across queens"I ask, watching the footage over and over I pull my mask off when I hear may walk in "Peter!" Opening my bedroom door I smile to my aunt "did you have a good day?" She asks, nodding I sit at the table, her hand dashing to my cheeks I furrow my brows "may?" I mumble, her eyes squinting she looks at me funnily "your flustered, what happened." She asks, opening my eyes I glance around pressing the back of my hand to my cheek "I just had a active day today."I chuckle, standing I hug her before retreating to my room.

Sitting on top of my apartment building I stare off into the setting sun, a scowl painting my facial features "what's wrong Peter?" Karen asks, sighing I look out at the sun disappearing behind the horizon "you remember liz..." I murmur, crossing my legs at the ankles "yes?" She replies "I spent my time trying to impress her when I should've been trying to impress MJ" I sigh, standing I pace back and forth on the roof of my apartment building "why don't you tell her?" She asks, shaking my head I play with a web "she'd freak out, there's no way In hell she'd feel the Same"I sigh, combing the web through my fingers "you'll never know if you don't try." She says, nodding I shoot my web to another building and swing towards rose avenue. Standing in front of her house, i pace back and fourth rapidly unaware of her parents looking out the window.

(On the other side)

"Michelle!" Mrs. Jones calls out for MJ, the brunette rushing downstairs she looks at them "why is the masked vigilante Spider-Man pacing outside our house?"her father asks, michelle's eyes widening she rushes outside.

(Back to peter)

"Pe-Spider-Man?" She corrects herself, looking at her with wide eyes she pulls me out the way of Any eyes. "Why were you just stood out here?"She asks, furrowing my brows I stammer "I- uh, come by tomorrow... I wanna show you something" I say, avoiding the fact Karen was repeatedly reminding me to tell her "okay? Go home and get some sleep Pete, your going crazy" she laughs, hugging me I feel my breath hitch in my throat, I swing off home.

Rushing around for something to show MJ, I look at the newly improved spider-suit he'd drop off, which I haven't worn yet "yes perfect, I'll test it out with her!" I say out loud, Karen laughing "calm yourself down peter. Your stress levels are sky high" she says, breathing I hear the door open and close, I brace myself "peter?"she calls out. Walking out of the room, she cocks an eyebrow "you k-know how Ive got this suit?" I say, trying to keep myself calm "Yeah?" She says tilting her head, pulling the new suit out I hold it in front of her, the red black and gold suit glimmering in the sunlight "woah, did Tony make this?"She asks, nodding I shrug "he offered it to me when he offered me the chance to be an avenger, when I turned it down he told me the suit was waiting till I'm ready, i suppose he just wanted me to get use to it." I say, her jaw slack "you turned down the chance to be an avenger...!?" She says, nodding I place the suit on the side "I barely took out vulture, I'd rather wait till Im More accustomed to my abilities than dive right in" I say, sitting on the table I drop my mask beside me "I'm gonna go change into this suit, won't be long" I murmur walking into my room.

(MJs PoV)

Looking at the mask I pick it up and put it on "hello?" I mumble sitting on the couch "hey, michelle." The AI So called Karen says softly "uh... hi? How do you know me?"I ask, Hearing peter fall over I almost let a laugh escape me "peter talks about you a lot" she says, feeling my heart race slightly I cock an eyebrow "really? When was the last time?" I ask, Karen obviously finding the data "Yesterday night, before he was caught wandering out the front of your house." She says, widening my eyes I furrow my brows "can you play the conversation for me, please?"I ask "sure" she replies.

"What's wrong peter?" Hearing the male sigh he stares off at the setting sun "you remember liz..?" He murmurs crossing his legs "yes?" Karen replies "I spent my time trying to impress her when I should've been trying to impress MJ" he sighs stands up and pacing back and fourth "why don't you tell her?"Karen replies, he shakes his head "she'd freak out there's no way in hell she'd feel the same"he sighs, playing with web "you'll never know if you don't try." Karen says.

"Peter likes me?" I ask, my jaw hanging slack "yes, michelle" Karen responds, taking the mask off when I hear him open his door i run my thumb over the material, looking at peter in the new suit "this one was way harder to get on" he laughs, smiling slightly he furrows his brows, looking at the mask in my hands he looks at the other mask "you okay?" He asks, nodding I smile.

(Peters PoV)

"Transfer AI" I say out loud, Karen being transferred to the suit I'm currently wearing I look at michelle who's staring into space "Karen what's up with michelle?"I say, shooting a web at the floor "we was talking and I showed her the footage of last night" Karen replies, feeling my cheeks darken I look at her, her arm wrapping around her knee she rests her chin on her kneecap, pulling my mask off I walk over to her, sitting in front of her she looks at me "had your fun?" She asks, shrugging I nod "yeah" I murmur. Walking into the apartment, we walk into my room, closing the door behind me I look at her "hey Pete, what's this?" She says holding a picture of the decathlon team, a circle around Michelle "I was gonna do someth- no.. you know, I always looked at liz and I have no idea why, I should have been looking at you. The way you act and how your extremely honest just makes me smile and that's something I don't need to force,you make me smile." I say her eyes wide, tapping my hand against the middle of my suit three times it falls from me "Your such a nerd" she laughs, smiling i snake my arms around her waist pulling her against my chest.
