Four Years Later (Peter Parker/Spiderman)

Flashback

I stared up at Peter, shock clear on my face. He..loved me? More than Gwen..? I shook my head slightly, "What?" I repeated.

"I love you. I mean, how couldn't I? You've been my best friend since we were little. We grew up together. I watched you transform from a little awkward dork into this confident, beautiful young lady." he smiled slightly, stepping closer to me, "Sure, I loved Gwen, but not as much as I love you. Even when you turned me down back in high school, my feelings never faded."

I let a small smile slip on my face as I listened to his speech, "You were going to go to England with her." I whispered.

"You really think I wouldn't have made you come with us?"

"You would still be with her if she wasn't dead."

"Maybe," he nodded, "but we both know, years from then, we would end up together. Remember when our parents would tease us about marrying each other?" he chuckled quietly, "Then, when my parents left, you were the only one I really wanted to be around and you were always there." he smiled, pressing his forehead to mine, "You have all your memories back, right?"

"Yeah, why?" I asked in a quiet voice, very aware at how close his lips were to mine.

"Think back to prom. Remember what I told you?"

*.*

"You honestly can not dance." I giggled, holding onto Peter's hands tightly as he spun me around.

"Yeah, but at least I'm trying." he chuckled, pulling me back to him, "You look so..beautiful tonight, Madison." he whispered, a small smile on his face.

I blushed, "And you look very handsome."

He smiled again, "I want us to get married one day." he stated, only to look away quickly, as if he didn't mean to say that out loud.

I blinked, "What about Gwen?"

"I think her and I will be over by the time we both get ready to settle down." he told me quietly as a slow song started to play.

Biting my bottom lip, I wrapped my arms around his neck softly, his hands resting on my waist. Did he really mean that? Does he really want to marry me, over Gwen, one day?

*.*

"I meant what I said." he told me, his lips still inches away from mine.

"We're too youn-"

"Obviously." he chuckled, pulling away, "I'm just saying.. let's start something."

"Like, a relationship?"

"No, a cult. Of course a relationship, Mads." he laughed, grabbing my hands.

I giggled slightly at his words, watching his fingers intertwine with mine, "Gwen just died."

"Yes, I know. She always knew there was something between us. She would want this. You know how she was."

I bit my bottom lip, looking up into his eyes, "Okay."

"Okay?"

I chuckled, "Yes. Let's start a cult- I mean a relationship." I smirked.

Peter laughed before pulling me into a tight hug.
