You were perched up on top of an abandoned building the city lights left a soft glow on your skin and your eyes twinkled with mischief. Across from you was one of the most expensive jewellery shops in New York, and you were planning to rob it. Your eyes trained towards the entrance of the building two guards were located at the entrance their shifts would be over soon and they would start to head home. You headed towards the building you used the shadows to your advantage. your black cat suit helped you blend in and a gorgeous mask covered your face. You were known as black cat and bad luck followed everywhere you went. When you finally got to the building you made sure no guards were nearby before smashing a window open. You started climbing into the building stealing all the jewellery you could. Their were emerald earrings and ruby bracelets you took them all. You were about to leave when you spotted a gorgeous diamond necklace on display. You grabbed it before dashing towards the exit you were so close to escaping until you heard a crash. Turning around you saw a red and blue suit "dammit" you said sprinting to the exit. "Leaving so soon the party's just getting started" the masked stranger said shooting a web at you. You dodged him continuing towards the door "not so fast kitty cat" he said you turned around and he froze.

Peter was awestruck your eyes sparkled in the moonlight and your hair tumbled down from your head and framed your face perfectly. You had a natural beauty about you that peter had never seen before. You smirked, dammit he thought, you knew what he was thinking. "Cat got your tongue Spidey" you said. Peter tried to say something but no words came out his mind a muddled mess around you. You smiled that mischievous smile of yours "I'll make you a deal, I'll give the jewellery back if you give me a swing around the city" Peter was shocked. "Really that's all you want" you nodded your head giving him your best puppy dog eyes. Peter sighed and held out his hand for you to take "come on kitten I haven't got all night" you walked up to him and held onto him tightly he started running with you in his arms towards the edge of the building. Just before peter jumped off the building he shot a web and started swinging from it. You immediately closed your eyes making sure not to look down. You could feel the cold wind biting at your skin and your heart beating fast. "Open your eyes" peter said you did and saw the most wonderful view of the city. "Wow" you said eyes dancing across the city streets. Peter had only just met you but was yearning for moments like this with you, he wished he could swing you around the city and explore the parks after dark when everyone had left he wanted to show you the world. The only problem was you were the villain that wasn't possible for someone like you to fall for someone like him but when he saw the twinkle of the city lights in your eyes and the huge grin on your face peter felt like that fantasy would someday be able to become reality.

Peter landed on one of his favourite buildings, there was nothing exciting about this building except that it had the most amazing views of the city and at the perfect time you would be able to see the morning sun shine against the buildings. When you were safely on the ground you let go of him "thanks for that" you said standing their awkwardly. "No problem kitten" Spidey said sitting down on the edge of the building looking out at the city skyline. Peter turned to you and patted the empty space next to him, you walked over to him and sat down next to him dangling your legs off the side of the building. Peter turned to look at you the sun just rising making the sky explode with different colours. Your eyes twinkled in the morning sun and the mischief that was always their seemed to be replaced with curiosity and adventure. Your skin glowed in the morning rays and your hair was slightly messy. "You could always take a picture it will last longer" you said turning to look at Spidey. Peters face started flushing under his mask and he could hear soft giggles coming from you. "Well I'm guessing I owe you something for that swing" you said face coming closer to Peters. "No, it's fine really" peter stuttered out. "Nonsense" you said lifting your fingers to the edge of his mask you slowly started to lift it up just above his nose so you couldn't see his whole face. You leaned in pressing his lips to yours, it felt like an explosion was going off and your heart started to flutter. You pulled away slowly missing every second you weren't kissing him "I've got to go" you said he nodded before watching you slip away into the shadows wondering when he'd see you again.

The morning sunlight was streaming through a crack in the window onto your face giving it an ethereal glow. A diamond necklace was around your neck and sparkled as brightly as stars, what you think I wasn't going to steal the necklace I know I made a promise to Spidey but I couldn't help it I had to. You slowly started waking up stretching your arms towards the ceiling the cotton sheets tangled around your body. You got out of bed and put on some black leggings and a comfy f/c shirt you brushed your hair getting the knots out before making yourself a cup of coffee. You grabbed the coffee before heading to your favourite spot in your apartment the windowsill looking out at the city. You had a comfy seat on the windowsill books and blankets scattered around you and cute pot plants everywhere. You sat down and pulled out your favourite book and started to read it but your eyes couldn't focus on the words your mind still lost in last nights kiss. You brushed your fingers against your lips you could still feel where he had touched you. "Dammit head in the game" you said cursing to yourself. But you couldn't help it there was just something about him that made butterflies erupt in your stomach and your heart beat wild.

Peter had a big problem he had a crush on you. It would be so bad if your eyes didn't sparkle like diamonds and how every time he was near you his heart would flutter and butterflies would erupt in his stomach. Yep peter had it bad he had to talk to someone about it and that was why he was here now standing in front of Ned's locker waiting for him to arrive. "Peter? What are you doing here" peter lifted his head and looked at Ned "we have a problem" peter said "we?" "Well more like me you see theirs this girl" Ned let out a loud groan "how many girl problems do you have" "this ones different" "peter how is this one different" "it's because she's a bad guy" peter yelled out "oh this one is different" Ned said. "I know and I think I might like her" "oh that's definitely a problem what are you gonna do peter?" "I don't know" he said letting out a long sigh" "but I think I'm falling hard".

The bell rung signalling the end of the day peter sprinted out of the school building grabbing his bag among the way and dashing into a side alley. He checked to see if the cost was clear before slipping into his Spidey costume and swinging his way towards the city. Peter was patrolling the city the thoughts of you filling up his mind. He had been telling himself all day that his main priority was to be a friendly neighbour hood Spider-Man and not a lovesick teenager but he couldn't help looking into the shadows wondering if you were their. Peter was thinking about you when an alarm went off rushing towards the sound he found that the sound was coming from a bank. He slipped in unnoticed he was looking around for the source of the alarm when he spotted someone lurking around in the shadows.

"Hey Spidey" you said slipping out of the shadows and into the moonlight. Broken glass was surrounding you shining like jewels and your eyes twinkled with that familiar gleam of mischief. "What are you doing here!" peter yelled out he needed to remember you were the bad guy. "Can't a girl go for a midnight stroll" you said a wide grin on your face. "Not into a bank!" he yelled back "look around Spidey I haven't stolen anything" you said gesturing around the room. Peter looked around nothing had seemed to be stolen or broken except for a large window. "Then what are you doing here then" you froze a blush appearing on your face "It's because of you" "me?" Peter questioned. "I can't get you out my head since that kiss" you said looking away peter froze he didn't know what to say. The longer he didn't say anything the longer your anxiety took a hold of you. "You know what forget it" you said climbing out of the window and into the night. By the time Peters mind started to work again you had gone "wait!" he called out he couldn't let you slip through his fingers again. Climbing out the window he saw you dashing into a dark alley "wait a second! just let me explain" peter called out he saw you climbing up a fire escape and onto the roof he swung up their and dashed towards you grabbing your hand "please let me explain" he said whispering into your ear. You struggled to get out of his hold before giving up and nodding your head for him to speak refusing to look at him. Peter let out a loud sigh "Whenever I'm around you my brain stops working and my heart flutters. I get lost in your eyes and your smile seems to paralyse me" he said pulling you into a tight hug. "What I'm trying to say is....I think you used magic on me and I'd like you to reverse it"
