Harley felt numb.

Tony had busted into his lab (that he shared with Peter), saying something had happened.

He and Tony walked down the aisle in between the labs and that's when Tony had broken the news.

He stopped his tracks, patting the teen's chest with his right hand. Harley furrowed his brows, knowing what's coming. "What happened?" He asked turning his head to look straight into his mentor's face.

Tony sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with two fingers in a clear sign of stress before finally speaking. "It's Peter, kid".

Harley's breath hitched. His boyfriend had been gone for a week now, left for a mission. They'd normally take longer, so the blonde immediately understood there was something wrong.

"What about him?" He asked shyly, not really wanting to know the answer. Seemingly having noticed this, Tony hugged the boy out of the blue.

"I'm sorry, Harley". Was all he said, and Harley knew right then and there what was wrong. "I'm really sorry. Bruce and Cho tried everything. There was nothing left to do".

"No".

"Kid-". Harley pushed him away.

"No. You promised me when I found out about Spider-man. You said he'd be fine. You said nothing would happen to him". He yelled, tears streaming down his face.

"Harls". He said quietly.

"This can't be true. Please, tell me it's not real". He begged, burying his face in Tony's neck. "Please, Tony. Please".

The adult only sighed audibly, holding the teenager so tight, regretting ever having allowed Peter to be a hero in the first place.

And now, after hours, Harley still couldn't believe it. His heartbeat pounding in his ears, repeating the last words he exchanged with Peter.

It was just a week ago.

"I love you, boy". He said chuckling.

"I love you more". Harley replied, smiling brightly at the sight of his boyfriend.

Then a breath, a pause. "If you say so". He shrugged and kissed him goodbye. Peter pulled apart hopping into the jet, a hand waving toward Harley. He waved back.

Harley cried sitting in Peter's bed. He hugged his knees closer to his chest recalling the last four words Peter had told him.

They thought they had all the time in the world. They thought they'd be together, they were going to college together and be there for each other all the time.

Such silly dreams.

The blond couldn't get those four last words out of his head.

If you say so. If you say so. If you say so.

It was the last fucking time he would ever see the love of his life, and the last words he'd heard from him were those.

Two weeks later it was his funeral. And Harley cried through all of it. He and May talked and Tony apologized to her. She said it wasn't his fault.

It had been two whole weeks since Spider-man lost his fight.

Since the brightest light in Harley Keener's life had been turned off.

Two entire weeks since said teen had felt complete, fine.

Peter was his everything and now he was gone.

Two weeks of pure hurt.

There was a moment he loved; when he woke up. For a moment, you don't know where you are, who you are, what's going on.

Those peaceful five seconds of ignorance were his escape from all the pain of existing in a world without Peter Benjamin Parker.
