Your pov

I sat alone on the floor of my dorm room, with the nicest dress I owned, nicely fit over my body. The clock by my bed read 7:30 as I wept. He's late again... always late, always gone...

Just then, a knock at the door made me jump. Quickly, I wiped my tears away, and opened up.

"G...Gerard, what are you doing here?" I asked, holding back tears.

"I'm here, for our date of course. Are you alright?"

"You're late, again."

"Baby, I know, I'm sorry. Lemme make it up to you, please?"

"Where were you? Where do you always go off to?"

"I told you, sugar, I got held up at work. C'mere, I missed you." He gave me a hug, before leading me out to his car.

Time skip to the next day

Pete and I sat together in a coffee shop, chatting away.

"... and I mean, I get it. There "might" be a ghost in his house, or whatever. He's just physicking himself out. Don't you agree?"

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"Are you alright?"

"Not really, Gerard was late picking me up, again."

"Seriously!? What is up with him!?"

"He's got work... I guess..." Pete sent a sorrowful look my way.

"Y'know what? I think you should leave him."

"What!? No, I couldn't do that..."

"Do you love him?" I was a little surprised by his question. Of course I love him...

"Yeah, I love him a lot."

"Does he love you?"

"Well, yeah, of course he does. He tells me almost every night."

"I still think you should leave him."

"No, I don't wanna leave him. Even when he's late, I always have a good time with him."

"Does he have a good time with you? I think if he really liked you, he wouldn't be late all the time."

"Yeah, I guess so. I still don't wanna break up with him though." I said, resting my chin in my palm.

"I can do it for you."

"Please don't."

"But he's really not that interested in you. I think it'd be good if you put yourself back out there."

"I dunno, maybe..." Pete began to trail on as my eyes wandered to the tv just behind his head. The Crimson Bullet flew through the air as the news cast spoke of his latest victories.

"... and you know I-"

"What do you think the Crimson Bullet looks like without his mask?"

"I dunno, alien or something. Why?" He turned around, watching the same tv I was, "Oh, I see," He turned back around, "You have a thing for the Crimson Bullet!"

"What? No I don't!" I was totally shocked by his accusation, "That's ridiculous! Even if I did have a thing for him, it wouldn't work since he's a superhero and all."

"So you've thought about it! You're totally crushing on him!"

"I'm not!" I hid my pink face behind my jacket.

"Haha you are!" He chuckled, "Oh, I have an idea!" He jumped up, like he was about to leave.

"What!? No, don't go! I'm not paying for you!"

"I'll pay you back!" He cried, running out of the cafe. What is he up to?

Time skip to uhhh the next day

"Hey Pete, where'd you go yesterday?" I asked, taking a seat next to him before class.

"I uhh... I went back to my dorm, I had a lot of homework to do." He explained, clearly lying.

"Okay, but what did you actually do?"

"I can't tell you, it's a surprise."

"Alright... ugh," I slipped out my phone, "Gerard hasn't texted me back all day, where could he be?"

"I definitely have nothing to do with that."

"Pete, what did you do!?"

"Nothing! I didn't do anything!" I opened my mouth to speak, but the bell rang, and the teacher started talking before I could form any words.

Eventually, class ended at the sound of the bell. Pete jumped up and bolted out the doors before I could even get up from my seat. Walking outside, I saw a little speck out in the distance that appeared to be Pete, running for his life.

Me: What did you do!?

Pete: I didn't do anything! I swear!

Me: yeah right

Pete: come to my dorm tomorrow night and I'll explain

Me: fine...

He is so strange sometimes...

Time skip (hhhh sorry there's a lot of these) to the next night

"Y/n, c'mon! I need to show you something!" Pete whisper yelled as he stuck his head out the door of his dorm room.

"Alright alright, what is it?" Quickly, he shut the door behind us.

"Okay, I need you to stand right there."

"Pete, before I do anything for you. Did you break up with Gerard for me?" I asked, he's gonna say yes... I just know... even if I want him to say no so badly...

"Fine, you got me! I did, but it was for your own good! I have something much better for you anyways. Now please, stand right there."

"How could you!? Pete, I told you I didn't want you to do that!"

"I know, I'm sorry, but please, just..." He came over and moved me to where he wanted.

"Y'know I really liked him..." I murmured, staring down at my shoes.

"Yeah, I know. It's for the best! Besides, you're gonna love this." He then, pulled a gigantic knife out from inside his jacket.

"Pete, what are you doing!?" I asked as he stepped towards me.

"I'm not gonna hurt you! It's just for the thing! I promise..." He stepped towards me, angling the knife towards my throat, "Now, I'm gonna need you to scream for me."

"Pete..." Tears began streaming down my cheeks, he jumped forward, and brought his arms around me. I shrieked, "Pete... please get off me! Please! I-"

"Hey!" Just then, Pete was pushed off me, and in an instant I was in the arms of someone new, "Get the fuck away from her!" The red haired man cried, the Crimson Bullet... why does he seem so familiar? Up close, at least...

Before I knew it, his arms were around me, ready to fly out the window.

"Y/n, are you alright?" How does he know my name?

"Yeah... yeah, h... how do you know my name?" But he had already started flying away. I held onto him as tight as possible.

"I gotcha, you're fine, sugar..." Finally, we landed on the top of an apartment building. No one could see us from up there.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah... uhm, how did you know my name?"

"Well um, I know everyone's name." Without a word, I stepped closer towards him. His red hair now more familiar than ever. Carefully, my fingers reached for his mask, but didn't dare remove it.

"It's you, isn't it?" He looked to the ground, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you'd leave me. But, you did anyways..."

"This is why you've been late all the time? Right?"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry..." Without hesitation, I hugged onto him.

"I never wanted to break up with you. But y'know how Pete gets," I looked up at him, "Can I stay at yours tonight?"

"Of course, hold on."

"Wait, no I don't wanna-" And we were off. Flying through the town, I held onto him tight. We landed on his apartment balcony, before walking inside.

"I'm gonna change, I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay," I took a seat in his little living room. I'm dating the Crimson Bullet and I didn't even notice... how can I be so dumb!?

"Hey," He sat next to me, kissing my cheek, as he wrapped an arm around me, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I was gonna, but I just didn't want you to leave me..."

"You really think I'd leave you? Just like that?" I smiled, "I'd never..."

"Well that's a relief." He kissed me again.

"Wait, but I have some questions."

"Fire away."

"Okay so, how did you get your powers? Are you like, an alien or something? Or was it radioactivity? Or something?" He chuckled.

"No, nothing like that. I got bit by a bird."

"No you did not!"

"Yeah I didn't," He smirked, "I honestly have no idea. It was during that period of time where my memory is hazy, I think I was experimented on or something. But I'm not entirely sure."

"Weird, what are all your powers? I know you can fly..."

"I have super strength, flying, and I have this thing where I just know when something's up. Kinda like a spider sense, like what Spider-Man has, I guess."

"Okay last one, what's your kryptonite?"

"This may sound super cheesy, but, it's you." I giggled.

"Really?"

"Yeah, and rare Star Wars collectibles."

"I love you." I whispered, snuggling close to him.

"I love you too. Thanks for not leaving. I dunno what I'd do without you."

"I bet you'd go insane." I giggled.

"You are so cute!" He kissed all over my face until I fell backwards, doing nothing but cuddling and kissing for the rest of the night.
