Fate is something you can try to control, but it will usually get it's way. Just like it did for Peter and you. The first time you met, it was when you were 8, and were driving along side each other on the highway. You two were able to meet and exchange thanks to the magic of Nintendo DS chatrooms, it was fate that caused both cars to dive along each other for an hour straight, it was faith that allowed both you and Peter to have Nintendo DS, and it was faith that somehow the adults in both cars allowed you guys to exchange emails.
The second time you met was when you bumped into Peter at age 13, and he was holding a coffee that spilled on you and you exchanged numbers. While you didn't realize that it was Peter from the Nintendo DS and the emails, it was still fate that caused your paths to cross into each other quite literally, and it was fate that had Peter have coffee that would spill on you. Except it probably wasn't fate that caused Peter to feel sorry for spilling coffee, because he's a sweet human being, but it was fate that caused the two of you to be fine to exchange numbers, so you could grab coffee another time to make up for the spill.
The third time you met, you guys made a connection, or a realization, you remembered each other from two years ago, as you both still looked somewhat similar. After the coffee incident, you became texting buddies, but only meet a couple times. This time you met because fate had decided that you were going to be transferred to Midtown High, the same school where Peter went as a sophomore. The texting continued, in fact it got greater as know you two saw each other every single day. Surprisingly, you two still emailed each other, not realizing that there might be connection between the friend you both have been reunited with and your email buddy, because after all a lot of people are named Y/N and Peter.
By this point in time it was clear that fate wanted you and Peter to be together, or at least in each other's lives. Clear this is, except to you and Peter. Quickly after you were introduced to MJ and Ned, they both saw how quickly you too clicked together, with MJ making the connection between your email buddy Peter and Peter Parker, but she didn't say anything for multiple reasons.
The first reason was that she didn't care too much, she cared a little bit, just not enough to do anything. Second, you both obviously didn't know and that she felt like you two should figure it out on your own and that it would be natural, cause that's how fate had decided it. Instead, she decided, that she would just nudge you two into bringing it up, and maybe, just maybe, you two would use your brains and figure it out.
So thats exactly what she did, whenever she was talking to just you or Peter, and saw the other one coming up to join them, she would bring up the emails, asking for details. This way when you came and hear Peter talking about the emails that you had written, or vice versa, maybe you two would work it out.
But of course, this was Y/N and Peter, nothing was going to go smoothly. First of all, whenever MJ left, so you two could finish the conversation, it would result in an awkward silence until the topic was changed. Second of all, the Stark internship happened. This affected more you than Peter, or so you thought. See with the Stark internship, Peter couldn't tell any of you really what was going on, because he couldn't say he was Spiderman, and he was busy all of the time. So, you and Peter started drifting away, only hanging out when MJ and Ned were there. And as a result of that, the texting became less frequent as you gave up trying to plan to meet and the fact he never even had time to text you.
However, somehow Peter had time to email, which really took more time than texting, as he felt that since he really didn't know the person he was emailing, he wouldn't put them at risk. So you and Peter got closer (via email) as you and Peter got farther apart (via text and person). What made it even worse was crushes, as fate had a rollercoaster planned for you.
Crushes. When a person starts to get feelings for another person, that was what was happening to you with email Peter, and that what was happening to Peter with real life you. Together you two had created a love square. See Peter started getting a crush on you when he was emailing you, partially because your writing reminded him of you, huh, wonder how that works Peter, and partially because he missed you, but he had to remind himself that he was distancing himself from you to keep you safe.
So then next time the four of you (Ned, MJ, Peter, and you) had finally been able to hang out, despite Peter's busy internship, you and Peter had found themselves feeling awkward around each other for the first time, and fate had found themselves hitting themselves on the forehead, come one fate, a love square is not how people are brought together nicely.
What happened then? MJ happened, well, more like she snapped. Ned and MJ had been feeling suffocated through all of your guy's back and forth and were done with you two, so MJ pushed you two into your closet (you guys were hanging out at your house), and locked you both in there, telling you guys only the words 'email buddies', till you worked it out. In the meantime, Ned and MJ were going to be playing cards.
You two sat there looking at each other, wondering what did your email buddies have to do with this. Fate was getting impatient, it had decided, and wanted both to finally realize that instead of knowing each other since they were 13, they had known each other since they were 8. So that's what happened, you got a gut feeling that you had to tell Peter that "It's really funny, I have this email buddy that I've even emailing since I was eight, and you both share the same name," and Peter stared at you, gears turning in his head, thinking how strange it was that you and his email buddy Y/N also shared the same name, "we both met, well not really met, in a DS-" you got cut off by Peter, who raised his hand to silence you.
"Let me guess" he said, "you met in a DS chatroom when you were driving to upstate New York, where you talked for a hour and then exchanged emails" he finished, his expression was scared but happy, very similar to yours right then. "How did you know this?" You asked, trying to figure it out, did MJ tell you? You said, "Let me guess, you're ironmanpeter@gmail.com right?". As Peter nodded, you both freaked out, hugging each other and realizing that you both were so stupid for not figuring it out. From you and Peter, fate also figured out that it was a headache for fate, to get people who were meant together to meet through a DS Nintendo chatroom.
