Eddie's POV
"Why the hell does Parker always have to save the day, who does he think he is?" I ask Tia, more annoyed than I wanted.
"He just wanted to show off", I continue.
"Ok, just because your overprotective of (y/n) doesn't mean you can be an ass when you don't get to play the hero. Plus you know how much she likes Peter" she says matter-of-factly.
"Ya ya ya, I know... I just wanted to save her" Tia walks over to me as if I were something dangerous and pats me on the back awkwardly, "We don't all get to be heroes"
We then pick up our bags and walk out of the auditorium towards our classes.

(Time skip to the end of the school day provided by: "I'm tired" and "This is the third chapter I'm rewriting today")

(As you walk home; listening to music, thoughts about what happened during lunch flood your head.)

(Y/n)'s POV
HE COULD HAVE FELT THEM. THE WAY HE WAS HOLDING ME, HE MUST HAVE. WHAT'S AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY IF HE ASKS ABOUT IT 'O, ya when my mom was pregnant with me my father decided to test his radioactive spider venom on her and me so I was born with four spider legs; that I can retract into my body and come out when I'm scared or when I want them to, weird powers, and spider instincts.' YA, TOTALLY NOT INSANE OR UNBELIEVABLE. WHY CANT MY LIFE BE NORMAL!

(After a few more minutes of thinking you realize...)

Why the hell was he warm and comforting? I've been held before but none of them were like that, I didn't want him to leave. I felt... safe. Maybe, hormones? No, my hormones only act up when I'm near other spiders; ya having a MALE PET TARANTULA was weird when puberty hit.
I walk into the house and say, "Daaaaaad I'm home". No response. I walk into the kitchen and see a letter on the table, it says, "(Y/n), I had to go on a business trip to LA. You know the usual, so, I made sure to have the maids only come on Sunday in case you want to throw a party; or whatever you teens do when your parents aren't around. Anyway, I'll be home in two weeks and your birthday present is in your room. I hope you like it; it's a new model."
Love, Dad

Ok, at least it's only two weeks, I sit there for a minute thinking, what about exactly I don't know. As I get up to go to my room I hit something and it falls, a picture of my mother. I never met her but dad has told me a lot about her... she died while giving birth to me.
   I set the photo back up, go to my room, and put my stuff down. I see the blue box with a big black ribbon on it sitting on my bed. I pull the ribbon and the box opens and reveals a black and blue skin-tight suit with four tubes of fabric attach to fit my spider legs and a mask.
Dad really stepped up his game with this suit. He's been making suits for me since I can remember, having me test my powers with the suits and without, making me stronger, and helping me so one day I'll be a superhero... but he's a bit late Spider-Man is already the hero of queens and the avengers of the world.
So I need to find a way to talk to the Avengers. Well, one thing was for sure, I and spider-boy already work together so it could be a way in. In the news everyone declared us as a literal power couple, so I and spidy started dating. Well not me but the spider hero me, I have to make sure to keep my identity's separate; I'm two different people in the same body.
The world gave me the name Dark Sapphire it's a tribute to the endangered Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Tarantula because my suit and the arachnid have the same colors. I and spider-boy haven't revealed our identities to each other, but we've been together for a bit. I've always felt comfortable and safe around him, we've even kissed a couple of times.
After doing a bit of homework and relaxing, I decided to go on patrol and test out my new suit.
   Once I was done with a quick scan over the city I sit on the edge of a building and relax a bit, I get a chill up my spine..., "Hi spidy"
"Hi gorgeous, whatcha up to?". He says while sitting next to me.
"Just testing out my birthday present", I say while resting my head on his shoulder, he then wraps his arms around me and pulls me into his lap; Just like the way, Peter was holding me...
I shake the thought and look up at him,
"So what are you up to", I ask.
"Well I came to wish the birthday girl 'happy birthday' and to give her her gift, but only if she gives me a kiss", he says while gliding is thumb over my bottom lip.
"Fiiiiine"
"Yes", he says excitedly; I roll my eyes. I slowly lifted my mask up to my nose, so the lower half of my face is revealed, he does the same to himself. We look at each other for a second, we both slowly moving closer. Our lips fitting together like puzzle pieces, the kiss is soft and sweet. When we part, I feel something around my wrist. I look, it's a silver chain bracelet with a half spider charm and ruby in it.
"Spidy!"
"What, don't like it?", he says jokingly.
"I love it you dork", I say while tackling him in a hug, causing him to fall back.
"Good because I have the other half", he raised his arm and sure enough there's the other half of the spider on a leather bracelet with a sapphire in it.

3rd person POV
   For the rest of the evening, you stay with him you talk, cuddle, and stay to watch the sunset. Leaving with a goodbye kiss, swinging your way home. When you get there you atomically change and eat something, you lay in bed thinking about what tomorrow will bring on your special day while drifting off to sleep.
