“I’m gonna kill him. I swear, this time I’m actually gonna do it. I’m going to murder my boyfriend,” you thought to yourself.
Usually, you were a pretty chill person. However, mix in an honors chemistry test that you now had less than fifteen hours to study for and the fact that your usually very dedicated boyfriend had blown you off for the third time this week -- not to mention it was only Wednesday. Not only that, but he was constantly always giving some kind of nonsense excuse, like’ “Oh I’m sorry baby, I promised Ned I’d finally help him build the lego death star,” or “May said I’ve been going out too much. Is it cool if we rain check?” These excuses, and many, many others were precisely why you were practically marching your way up to Peter and May’s apartment.
Knocking on the apartment door, you cross your arms as you mentally prepare yourself to give Peter the scolding of his lifetime the second the door swings open. However, when it does, you come face to face with none other than his Aunt May. With a warm smile upon her face, she quickly ushered you into the apartment -- and into a big hug -- as she greeted you.
“Hi Y/N! I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever sweetie. How’ve you been?”
Quickly plastering your own smile onto your face, you gave her a quick hug back as you replied.
“Hey May! I’ve been doing great actually. I hate to cut this short, but is Peter here? He promised he’d come by right after school, and now it’s- “
“6 o’clock.” She cut you off with wide eyes. “W-what do you mean he didn’t come by? I swear that boy is gonna be the death of me, he’s always going somewhere or doing something without even telling me!” She complained. “Look hun, you can go stay in his room for now, I know you guys have to prepare for the chem test tomorrow. I’m gonna go try Peter’s cell, okay?”
Even though you knew that was practically hopeless seeing as you had already tried texting, calling, and snap-chatting him at least a dozen times today, you simply nodded. “Thanks May,” you said whilst making your way towards his room.

Another hour had passed, and there was still no sign of Peter. If you weren’t worried already, you definitely were now. Your mind was racing nearly as fast as your heart as the worst things started to come to mind. “Could he be cheating on me? I mean, I couldn’t see him ever doing something like that, but who knows? Oh God, what if something happened to him? At least before he’d give me some stupid reason why he couldn’t make it, but now, nothing!”
You were brought out of your mind and back to reality as you heard the window open, and saw a bruised and disoriented Peter stumbled into the room. Quickly standing up from the bed, you scampered over to him, questions immediately leaving your mouth. “P-Peter? What the hell happened to you? Are you okay? Why’d you come in through the window? Wait, what are you wearin-” Your mouth instantly snapped shut as realization hit you. “You’re Spider-Man?”
Immediately, he began shaking his head as if it was the only thing he knew how to do. “NO!” He practically exclaimed, “No, no, no. Look Y/N, this isn’t what it looks like! I promise, I-I can explain.” he rambled on as he took your hands in his own.
For a second there, you could've sworn that you actually saw red. ”What do you mean it’s not what it looks like!?” You whisper-shouted. As angry and upset as you were, you still had the sense to think that his Aunt May probably -- okay, definitely -- did not know that he was… well, who he was.
Pushing his hands out of your own, your eyes widened as you say back on his bed, covering your face with the palms of your hand.
”How could this not be what it looks like, Peter!? Because from what I'm seeing, it looks like you're the ’Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ you've been acting like you couldn't care any less about!”
He knelt down to be closer to where you were seated on his bed and nodded quickly, as if agreeing with you would make you feel better about the situation. ”I know, I know I've been lying and I've been secretive and I know you’re angry at me right now and you have every right to be. But please, baby, you have to understand. I only did it because I had to keep you safe. May doesn't even know, o-or Ned, and-”
Quickly, you pulled him close to you and cut him off with a kiss. As much as you hated the fact that he had to keep it from you, you could understand why he did. After all, you had always been a very ’put yourself in their shoes’ kind of person.
As you kissed him passionately, you could have sworn you felt the relief flooding through Peter’s veins.
”I’m not mad at you, baby; I get it, I promise.” You reassured him. ”As much as I wish you didn't have to keep it from me, that's the last thing on my mind right now. I'm more worried about those bruises on your face, ” you frowned at him as you caressed his cheek where a deep purple bruise was forming.
”So you're really not breaking up with me or anything? You're not mad, promise?” He questioned with hopeful eyes.
Smiling brightly, you brought him in for a hug as you soothingly rubbed his back. ”I could never break up with you baby, I promise.”
