Counter (Peter x reader)

     All my life I could see a counter on anyone's skin that showed how much time is left for them to live.  It's just one of those day when I saw someone's counter stating that they don't have much time to live, but this time it's not just anyone.  It's mine.

     It left me devastated, but mostly confused, 100 days to live? It's not enough, I just turned 21, just yesterday I graduated from college and today I'm faced by the fact that I only have 100-Fricking-days to live.  What the heck universe? This is not fair!

     There's so much thing I want to do like going to (fav band/singer's) concert, meeting (your fav celeb), have a boyfriend, etc.  But no! Universe just decided to it's time for you to die (y/n)~~~

     I'm a very healthy 21 years old, no cancer, no anything.  Maybe I'm going to die because of accident.  At first, I thought that maybe I could make myself live linger but then I remember that time when I tried to save that old woman that only have 10 seconds to live from accident, but turned out, she's gonna die from heart attack.  I can't change anything even if I know how much time I have left.

     There's one person who deserve to know the truth before I die, my best friend, Peter Parker. Who also happens to be my crush. Me and Ned are the only one who knew about his secret identity, he trust me enough to tell me yet I never told him about my ability.

Ugh, sometimes I just hate myself.

     I called Pete, he picked it up on the first ring, like he was waiting for me to call him. You wish, y/n.

"Pete?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Can you come to my house? I need to tell you something."

"Uh...sure!" He sounded like he's blushing through the phone but there is no way he'll like me back.  Anyway what was he thinking that made him blush? If he's really blushing.

"Thanks Pete." I ended the call but now the bigger problem arises.

     How the hell am I supposed to break the news to him??? It's not even a good news!

-Time skip brought to you by Bucky's goat in Wakanda-

Pete arrived my house and I just quickly ushered him to my room.

"So Pete, first of all, I'm sorry for not telling you this sooner." I inhaled sharply and exhaled loudly.

"What do you mean?"

"Since you told me about your secret I thought I should tell you this too. Do you know why sometimes I stopped and stared at someone shockingly even if I don't know them?"

"No...?"

"I'll tell you why. It's because I saw how much time they have left to live on their skin, it's like a timer, when the time's up, you die."

"Woah you have this kind of ability? Cool, and why are you telling me now?" Uh oh...

"That's because.......I saw the counter on my hand today.... and it said I only have 100 days to live...." Tears starts to fall from my eyes.

Peter hugged me, "I'm sorry, y/n..."

I looked at my counter again and it said '99 days 12 hours 30 seconds'.

"It looks Like I only have 100 days left to live with you Pete, I'll just say everything then."

     Peter look at me in the eyes with his brown orbs, "What is it? Tell me, I'll listen to anything." Now it's his turn to cry.

"I-I love you Pete I always do. I can understand if you don't like me back and only see me as your best friend. You don't have to feel guilty if you don't like me back just because I'm dyi-"

Suddenly Peter cut me off by hugging me tightly.

"Don't say that y/n/n. I love you too... I just thought that you don't like me and I'm afraid that you'll reject me resulting in our friendship would no longer be the same... that's why.. I never admitted that I love you too..." Peter said while still hugging me.

"You-you like me Peter?" 

"Yeah... and now I regret that I don't tell you sooner, now we only got 100 days left..."

"I'm sorry Pete...." I said making the hug tighter. 

"Do you really don;t have any way to make your life longer?" Pete asked with a hopeful look.

"Not that I know of..."

"oh..." 

"Let's just enjoy our 100 days shall we?" I said trying to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah..." Pete said with a sad smile.

     I can't help but to close the distance between ourselves and kiss him. It's the most wonderful sensation I've ever felt in my life, it felt like millions of fireworks exploding inside me. It took a second before Peter returned the kiss, melting deeper into it. We kissed passionately but sadly we have to let go to breathe.  I look at my counter and it doesn't say 99 days.  It turned to 1 year.

"Pete...Peter.. my counter.... it said that I have 1 year worth of time to live!!"

"What?? How??" Pete asked with glimmer of hope in his eyes that was lost moments ago.

"Maybe because we kissed? The time increased after we kissed!" I screamed with excitement, now that I found a way to live longer.

"OMG y/n!!!" We both jumped up and down on my bed like a five years old kid while holding each other's hands, not knowing my mom walked inside my room.

"y/n! Peter Parker!! You both are a 21 years old legal adult!! Stop jumping on the bed and act like an adult!" My mom said with a sigh.

"Sorry mom I'm just so happy right now!"

"Sorry Mrs. y/l/n"

     My mom just shake her head and left my room. Me and Pete just giggled like a child while staring into each other's eyes.

"You really are my hero Spidey."

"You too y/n."

     We snuggled into each other for the rest of the day(I locked the door of course)while muttering how much we love each other once in a while.

normal pov

     Little do you know that both of you will be married 2 years later and live happily ever after.
