Love Is Never Lost

Nine: Nova

Okay, so I made a promise to I_love_sam_alexander to update this before I updated Forever Lost. Also, I finally have a cast for this story! I used most of the actors who voice them except for Spidey and Fury whom I used the actors who played them. So Enjoy! :)

~~~

I stretch as I wake up, instantly looking over to the corner where Peter was curled up peacefully. He looked so... cute and calm. He actually looked happy. How had I manage to hurt a teen whose walls were so high that even Hulk himself couldn't climb over?

I felt so empty, so cold and vile. I had hurt the one person that made me feel human. The one person that made me feel one of a kind.

Spider-Man shot up and hugged himself, his mask hiding his horrified expression which I could clearly.

"Peter," I whispered through the darkness of the cage. "Are you okay?"

Spidey looked at me and didn't respond. I sighed and walked over to him, sitting down. Peter scooted away from me. Without thinking, I grabbed his hand.

"Please, tell me what's wrong," I asked, desperation in my voice. Peter took his mask off gently and looked at me. My eyes widened. His eyes were red and puffy. Had he been crying?

"Have you been crying?" I blurted out. Peter just shook his head, his eyes saying otherwise. I put a hand on his cheek. Peter flinched at this, making my heart almost collapsed into itself.

"Please stop lying to me. I'm only trying to help," I said after a few minutes of us staring at each other.

Peter bit his lip. "Don't try to lighten the wound Sam. You broke me. And now you're treating me like that didn't happen. Like I said, I'm just a toy to you. So please- for my sake and yours- leave me alone."

My eyes widened. He couldn't be serious! He meant the world to me. I blinked once, twice but still didn't say anything as I watched Peter scooch way from me. I sat in shock, unmoving. Who the hell had gotten this into his head? More importantly, why the fuck would he think I used him?

"What?" I whispered. "I never would intentionally hurt you, Pete. I would never."

"But you did Sam and you didn't even bother to give me a good reason why you broke up with me." Peter said looking down. He was right. Goblin forced me to break up with him and yet I still haven't given Peter a reason why. To tell the truth, I don't know myself. I sighed and pursed my lips. I wanted to have a good reason, I really did. I want- no need- this boy back in my life. He was my everything and whether he's dating me or not, he always will be.

I sighed once more. If I want him back, then I have to start small. I put a fake smile on my face and lifted Peter's chin so his eyes could meet mine.

"Remember when we meet the Guardians of the Galaxy? And they asked you if you were my boyfriend." I said in a light tone, trying to make him laugh. Peter actually snorted.

"Of course! You were bright red when Starlord asked me that," Peter replied with a snicker, his shoulders relaxing. Well, at least I was getting somewhere with him. I nodded.

"And Glamora gave me the 'oh sure' look when I said no." Peter continued through his laughter. I loved every second of his angelic laugher. The moment felt calm, just like Goblin hadn't taken control of me.

"Please, that wasn't the worst part! After I told you that I was going to stay with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Starlord and Glamora both gave me a lecture on how I shouldn't run away from the people I love and if I just so happen to love my best friend that I should tell them. Unfortunately, I didn't get to say just how much I love him," I said, looking directly at Peter. Peter inhaled sharply.

"And just how much do you love this best friend of yours?" Peter asked, leaning closer. I looked him dead in the eye as I answered his question.

"I would kill for him," I answered truthfully, and I wasn't lying. I would kill if Peter asked me to. Don't me how that happened, but it just did.

Peter's eyes widened in awe as he processed this. He leaned closer into my personal space and looked at me with unclear eyes.

"You would kill for me?" He whispered in soft, almost nonexistent voice. All I could do was nod. I placed a hand on his cheek and leaned so close that I was practically kissing him.

"I told you, I would never intentionally hurt you," I said, my voice thick with emotion, and I was pretty sure that I had at least a few tears in my eyes. Peter looked like he wanted to pull away from me.

Peter took a shaky breath. "My uncle told me to never open up fully when I just start dating someone so I wouldn't get hurt. I tried to do that with you, but you were- are the one person I could trust with my life. I want to forgive you, Sam, I really do."

"Then what's holding you back?" I whispered to him, already not liking the answer.

"Because I'm scared- terrified even- to get serious with you, Sam. Everyone I've ever loved has either died or broken up with me because I'm not good enough or I'm not handsome enough. I just... don't need to lose some else."

I wiped away the tears that began to form in his eyes. "You're not going to lose me Peter, I promise you that, okay?"

Peter bit his lip and nodded shakily. Then, he threw his arms around my neck and kissed me. I let my arms fall down to his hips.

We pulled away a few seconds later. "Peter," I whispered to the man that now resided under my neck.

"Hmm?" He replied. I looked at the wall and pursed my lips.

"Promise me me one thing."

"What?" Peter asked. I put a fake smile on my face.

"If Goblin ever takes me over, feel free to knock some sense into me."

"Gladly."
