❝Just us, hanging out?" I asked as Peter shrugged almost bashfully,
"Yeah, just two...neighbors hanging out," He seemed to test out the word, smiling lightly again, "But again, totally up to you," he insisted kindly, his eyes wide,
"No uh," I shook my head, "That sounds like fun, I mean, we're friends, right?" I tried, hoping I hadn't overstepped. I hadn't really had a friend in...what, 4 years, jeez had it really been that long?
A small smile grew across his face as Peter looked at me, "Yeah," He shook himself out of it, "We're friends,"
"Cool," I smiled, looking down at my lap, a small blush growing across my cheeks,
"Cool."

From foster home to foster home, Faye Taylor wasn't exactly new to change, and had learned to expect that the one true constant in life, would always be loneliness.
Strangely however, Faye had seemed to befriend a spandex wearing friendly neighborhood, and the cute brunette boy across the hall...what were the chances?
"Who's this?" Spiderman points to an old polaroid on my desk.
I glance at it, before going focusing back on Spider's shoulder, "Just a boy I was friends with in high school. He kinda just disappeared after his girlfriend died though."
"Oh. Were you close?"
I shrugged, the old feeling of bitterness reentering my heart after so many years. "I would have called us best friends, but I guess not close enough for him to want my help."
"I'm sure he just didn't want to hurt you."
"Whatever, I'm over it."
"You still have his picture."
"I said I'm over it, Spiderboy! He left, he's not my friend anymore! Not like you won't do the same thing when you leave here tonight. I helped you, and now you have no use for me. Just like Peter."

You used to be best friends with Peter Parker. That was until he met Gwen Stacy and fell in love. And when she died due to a freak accident, Peter left you for good. You were on your own now, and you preferred it that way. No one was going to hurt you now, you just had to get through med school and you'd be a-okay.
At least so you thought. Exactly five years after the death of Gwen Stacy you find a beaten-up Spiderman laying on your porch. He could barely get out a word before you led him into your apartment and helped him clean up. After that fateful night, Spiderman would pay you almost nightly visits to fix him after his nightly patrols each night.
You couldn't help to get close to the masked man. But there was always that underlying fear that he was just using you as your other friends had? Or was there actually a friendship? As the months went on you found yourself falling for the superhero. Surely this was bound to end in disaster.
