I wish Zac and Ukyo had interacted properly in canon
They have a lot of the exact same mannerisms but NOT quite the same personality type. They have Two Very DIFFERENT Personality Types that just end up visually presenting extremely similarly. It’s Fascinating™
They are both Extremely Performative...with Ukyo it's because he's apparently awkward and nervous unless he plans out how to present himself in every specific situation ahead of time, and with Zac it's because he just loves attention and thinks lying is funny. But since that same outward appearance of Narcissism and Fussing Over Appearances is there, I think Zac would probably assume that Ukyo is Just Like Him. Specifically, I think Zac would see Ukyo as a threat...until he realized that Ukyo actually fucking HATES The Spotlight™ and is in no way a potential Attention Thief lmao, he is not Akira V2. Being Adored In Public By A Huge Crowd Of Strangers is too unpredictable and overwhelming and Ukyo would be fucking terrified of that because he can't do improv to save his life. His confidence goes up in flames as soon as unpredictability is involved, he’s allergic to Being Too Known, put the ninja back in the nearest dark corner so he can Lurk and Observe. Meanwhile Zac fucking thrives on improv and chaos is his lifeblood. There’s just a night and day difference at the core of their behaviour, in spite of the end results looking visually identical. They manage to have so many similarities in spite of being functionally polar opposites.
I also think Ukyo might be Very Intrigued by Zac, because Zac LOOKS like what Ukyo WANTS to be. That’s a guy who flawlessly presents himself Elegantly And Confidently under metric tons of social pressure and public scrutiny. Zac doesn’t get shy and short-circuit when something surprising happens or Too Many People Look At Him. In fact, it only makes him More Powerful. I feel like Ukyo might Stealthily Ninja-Stalk Zac for awhile, trying to Learn His Secrets and understand how he does it, and I feel like Zac might actually notice him because Zac is pretty sharp and is also probably used to getting tailed around by fans lmao.
It would just be such a fun thing to see these two Experience Eachother's Existence and I'm so sad we never got that. There are so many Possibilities. They would either absolutely adore eachother after a Dramatic Initial Misunderstanding or Zac would destroy Ukyo immediately and I am not sure which. Control Freak vs Chaos Demon FIGHT

___
In the end, you met Tom by accident.
It was your last night in London and you decided to pull your lazy ass off the fancy hotel couch to wander the potentially dangerous London streets. The faults of your plan didn’t fully hit you until the street lights turned on and your phone died. Here you were, all alone, lost in the most unfamiliar of settings.
Which way was the way back to the hotel? The GPS had said to head south on this certain stretch of road before your phone had died, and that information would have been helpful if you knew which way was south. Why had Jason agreed to let you go out alone? In London.
Your current mission was to find a phone booth. You knew your mom’s phone number by heart and she could get in touch with Jason to come get you. She would be mad and you would never live down the time you got lost in London, but at least you wouldn’t be dead in some back alley.
Thankfully, the road you were on wasn’t very populated so you decided to walk with your hood down. If you bumped into a fan or two you wouldn’t mind. It was still a surreal feeling whenever someone came up to you and recognized you.
As you walked, the night grew darker and you couldn’t help but be paranoid about the guy walking several paces behind you. Hunching your shoulders, you glanced behind you and the predatory look on his face was enough to make the hair on the back of your neck raise.
You quickened your pace and took a sharp and sudden left through an alley which, thankfully, led to another street instead of your untimely doom. Still keeping your gaze behind you, you payed no mind to the road in front of you.
Never in all your wildest dreams did you ever think you would run smack dab into Tom Holland. Of course, you didn’t realize it was him until a little later. He was more solid than you would have imagined and he was warm. Almost like running straight into an open toaster oven. Or maybe you were just cold?
You grabbed very muscular biceps to keep yourself from falling on your ass and let out the smallest of surprised ‘Oh!’s known to man-kind. He responded with a grunt, ‘Oof.’ It was deep, not at all how you would think a Tom Holland ‘oof’ would sound.
You should have let go at this point, apologize for not paying attention, and maybe try to explain the situation. That’s what you would usually do, but when you heard footsteps echoing off the brick walls behind you, you abandoned all regards for societal norms.
You let go of the stranger’s biceps and threw your arms around him in a big hug, tilting your head at just the right angle to see the man slow his steps.
Showtime.
“Peter! I can’t believe I found you! I was so lost and my phone died. I’m sorry we fought, I promise to never walk away from you again.” Queue the tears and the sniffles. You buried you head into a chest that, thankfully, smelled amazing. Please just go along, please just go along. Arms circled your back and pulled you close. A strangely familiar American voice spoke back.
“Don’t worry, babe. Just calm down and let’s head back to the hotel. Yeah?��� More footsteps except this time, they were receding. Your heart about burst with absolute joy. You stayed like that, encompassed in a stranger’s comforting embrace for what felt like eternity.
Once you both deemed the coast clear, you pulled back and almost chocked on your own spit in shock. Tom Holland stood in front of you, his curls a little disheveled and his cheeks a bit flushed, wearing a black shirt and jeans. His mouth dropped as the realization dawned on him.
He was standing in front of (Y/N) (Y/L/N).
You were standing in front of Tom Holland. Covering your mouth, you stared at him with wide eyes. When you finally spoke, you sounded like the stupidest person to ever exist.
“I thought you were American!” You were pointing your index finger at his chest. His very solid, warm, nice-smelling chest that you had buried your face into just moments ago. You were going to have a full blown anxiety attack from the sheer absurdity of the situation.
He smirked now, “I am not. It was just acting, darling.” Your heart fluttered. He just called you darling. How many times had you YouTubed compilations of him saying that to imagine him saying it to you? Enough to know that it never sounded like this, all breathless and heated and flirty.
He extended his hand and you watched as a little bit of the fanboy from the Jimmy Fallon interview brightened his eyes. “It’s lovely to finally meet you. I am a huge fan.”
You took his hand a little awkwardly, afraid to show just how much you were freaking out. “Likewise.”
“So where are you headed?”
“Brown’s Hotel.” He raised his eyebrows and informed you that you were going in the very wrong direction, Brown’s Hotel was the opposite direction. You laughed a little nervously, scratching the back of your neck as you explained your embarrassing situation. He laughed, shaking his head and squinting his eyes in the most adorable show of amusement you’d ever witnessed.
As you walked back, your shoulders bumping each other’s every once in a while, you talked about everything you could. When was the next time you would be able to walk the sparsely populated streets of a foreign country with your all time celebrity crush?
“What in the world made you choose Peter for a name?” He joked, looking down at you as he steered you around a corner. His hand lightly gripped the back of your lower bicep, sending electricity through your nervous system. If this was a Disney Pixar movie, the alarms in your head would be blaring as your emotions ran wild.
“It was the first name to come to mind. And I’m a huge Spider-Man fan.” You shrugged, self consciously tucking your hands deep into your pockets. Peeking at him through the corner of your eyes, you caught his gaze long enough to spike your heart rate. Which was already dangerously high.
The subject changed a billion different times, sometimes one of you would let a fan moment slip and the two of you would laugh.
Like when Tom said, “Your acting was seamless and beautiful. You weren’t even the lead and still you got the most attention for the movie! Somehow you managed to convey so many things with just facial expressions and body language and it was insane, as a fellow actor, to watch you. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were really your character and-“ he cut himself off, his cheeks a preciously dark pink.
“I’m sorry, I’m geeking a little.” The both of you laughed and he got to witness you geek a little later, gushing about his portrayal of a character you grew up with.
“To actually see this Peter as a teenager, and I mean a real teenager, it was refreshing. Tobey and Andrew did great, don’t get me wrong. They’re both amazing actors, but I just feel like you were the most accurate teenage Peter that has ever been on screen. I love watching you.” It took you a second to realize what exactly you had just said and immediately you tried to correct yourself, but Tom didn’t hear a word of it as his laughter roared through the street.
By the time you got to Brown’s, you didn’t want to leave. You stood awkwardly at the elevator doors, shuffling your feet and trying to make sure that no one recognized Tom. He had his back to the main lobby but it still felt a bit risky.
“Well...” He looked at you with the biggest brown eyed puppy dog look you’d ever seen. It twisted your heart a million different ways inside your chest.
“Well...” You repeated. It was quiet for just a beat and then he said the most precious thing.
“Would you mind if I hugged you goodbye?” Without replying, your threw your arms around him. It felt natural, your body pressed to his like this. His arms pulled you close and he buried his head into your hair.
The moment was so dream-like, that you were completely unaware of the sound of the elevator opening behind you until the people inside started speaking.
“Tom Holland!” He jerked up, catching sight of the three paparazzi behind you. As if it was somehow possible, he pulled you closer in a very intimately protective manner. His body felt rigid against you. You were frozen in place.
“Who is the girl?!” They all started asking, and somehow it felt like you were being swarmed in a mob with their thousand of questions flying at the two of you like daggers. Tom managed to evade both their questions and them by shuffling the two of you into the elevator and evil eyeing them out.
When the doors closed, he let you go and gave you an awakward smile.
“Going up?” After he walked you to your room and you said your goodbyes, a bit reluctantly, you slipped inside. He hadn’t even asked for your number, or if he could see you again. You didn’t try to deny the sadness that thought brought.
Until you shoved your hands into your jacket pocket, ready to march into the bedroom and find your charger so you could cry to your mom. Your hand brushed against something, and when you pulled it out, you realized it was a card. Spider-Man was on the front, the famous picture of him laying on his back in front of the New York skyline.
Flipping it to the back, you burst into giddy laughter.
Tom Holland
Peter Parker aka Spider-Man
Just beneath that was his phone number and social media accounts. At the very bottom, in hurried handwriting was a small sentence.
“I’ve been hoping to run into you.”
