"Go play with May's nephew honey" you frown looking around the playground to find the boy in question, he was sitting reading a book on the outside of the sand pit ignoring the people throwing sand at him

"Hello, I'm y/n my mommy told me to come play with you" he glanced up at you shrugging as you sit down beside him "what are you reading?"
"I'm reading about bugs and their lives"
"Like spiders?"
"Spiders aren't bugs!"

"I was only asking..." he pouts slightly flicking his eyes up to you "how about, you call me Spider and I call you bug"
"Eeeeeeewwwww I don't wanna be a bug!"
"Well I'm not changing it so if you wanna be my friend you have to be called bug" you cross your arms pouting "fine"

He cheers dragging you over to your mom and his aunt "May, this is bug and she's gonna call me Spider!"
"Oh well, that's very creative of you" he smiles widely whilst you just play with your fingers uncomfortably "let's go play on the climbing frame, since I'm a spider"
"HEY BUGS CAN CLIMB TOO!" You tell running after him

*****

During the course of your friendship with Peter you had switched between different kinds of things that are associated with Spider like webs however he had just stuck to bug, liking the way he had outgrown you substantially like a spider would outgrow a bug

"Alright losers lets get this party started" You grumbled walking into Peter's room to see him and Ned already half asleep on their text books "I don't wannaaaaa" Ned whined making you laugh "can't we just go to sleep?"

"No, you two are my last chance of passing this test and I need your help" the groaned loudly and sat up giving you their full attention and both giving you two separate methods of working all the bullshit out

"I'm gonna go, see you later y/n" you smile and wave to Ned staring down at your book once again ignoring the somewhat intense battle going on between the two in glared before Peter sighed

"I have to tell you something bug...." he only used the nickname when it was serious or if he was joking around with you, saying your name always made breaking the news harder so you just learnt to address the situation in the correct manner of tone

"What's up Pete?"
"I got a girlfriend"
"Oh... well that's great! What's her name? what's she like?"
"Uh... well... you see..."
"Spit it out webs" he grimaced at the choice of nickname hating it when you called him by that one "it's Michelle..."

You and Michelle hated each other, there was no reason you just always seemed to be competing with her, or glaring at each other or sending knowing glances when someone mentioned them under their breaths

"Oh, okay! I mean it's not like I'm gonna let our friendship get in the way of your relationship"
"She told me I had to stop seeing you" you felt your heart break, it was like a million tiny pieces of shrapnel pierced your chest and every one of them read Peter

"Then I guess I better get going then" you quipped packing up your stuff, what hurt more was when he flinched at the sound of your bag zipping up but refused to say anything else "I won't see you round Peter Parker, it was a good 11 year friendship while I was important"

He grimaced but you didn't look back closing the door, May looked at you sadly already knowing what was happening considering him and Ned were arguing loudly about it earlier "you're always welcome here y/n"
"Thanks May, I'll see you round for sure" you both smile as you head to the door

*****

Christmas rolled around quickly, you hadn't spoken to Peter in 10 months and were getting on alright, you still sat with Ned in the classes you shared, you quit any club you had that was with Peter and you avoided Michelle's amused gaze at all costs
