Requested by simpforsoup: Over time, Y/N and Spider-Man meet up every night and he helps her to get over her heartbreak. She gets to the point where she's even starting to like him and thinks that he might even feel the same. But she still doesn't know that it's Peter, and he still doesn't know that the boy that she's talking about is him. One night, he slips up and admits who he is. Y/N is heartbroken and bursts. She doesn't reveal her feelings but is devastated because the one person that she thought that she could have, she can no longer have.

I sat on the roof, my legs swinging over the edge like they always did as I looked out over the city. I looked up, a smile curling onto my lips as I heard Spider-Man land a few metres away from me. He stood up and walked towards me.

"Hey, Spidey." I teased, making him laugh as he sat down next to me and put his arm around me.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I am. What about you?" I asked. He nodded and looked at me.

"Yeah." He chuckled. I smiled and bit my lip. Since Peter and MJ had admitted that they were dating two months ago now and I had come to the rooftop and had ended up pouring my heart out to Spider-Man, we'd met up more and more regularly since. First it had been once a week, then every few days, and now we met up every evening. Over time we'd gotten physically closer, too. It had started with the boy sitting a metre away from me and moving closer by the day. Then it had been a reassuring hand on my knee and now it was an arm around me. We had become so close that I didn't even know if I liked Peter anymore. All I knew was that I was growing more fond of Spider-Man by the day. His hand landed against my waist, making me lean down and rest my head against his shoulder. He rested his head on top of mine, both of us looking out as the sun started to set.

"How was your day? You still thinking about him? The guy that you're in love with?" Spider-Man mumbled. I bit my lip.

"No...you're all that I think about now." I admitted quietly, my heart pounding as I uttered the words. After all, what else did I have to lose? I felt the hero raise his head, making me gulp as I looked up at him to see that he was already gazing at me.

"I'm...what you think about? Me?" He gulped. I returned it and looked down.

"Yeah, you are. It's just that you've helped me so much over the last couple of months, you've helped me get over the guy. I know that it's kind of silly, especially since I don't know what you look like, but I just...I feel a real connection between us." I spoke as I looked up at him. He looked at me with wide white eyes, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to work out what he was going to say.

"H-how come you can never say this to me normally?" He scoffed and shook his head. My eyebrows furrowed at his words.

"What? What do you mean?" I scoffed. His white eyes widened again and he looked down.

"Shit." He whispered and rubbed his gloved hand against his face. I stood up, making him sigh and look up at me.

"What do you mean, how come I never say this to you? I've been extremely open with you this entire time, and I don't know you in my normal life-." He sighed and looked down, making my eyes widen.

"Spider-Man, who the fuck are you?" I gulped. He returned it, his hand gripping the edge of the roof as the other hand raised to his head. I watched with wide eyes, my heart in my throat as he started to pull his mask off. He pulled the fabric off, making me choke. My eyes wavered, a tear immediately leaving them as Peter looked down with a clenched jaw. No, I thought, no. My heart shattered yet again, my mind racing as I tried to figure this fucked-up shit out. This whole time, I had been talking to Peter about himself. Thank fuck I'd never said the name of who I was in love with. But that was the thing. Talking with Spider-Man had taken my mind off of Peter. Taken my mind off of the fact that I couldn't have who I was in love with. I dared to say that I'd even started to fall more in love with Spider-Man than I was with Peter, and had dreamed that he felt the same. And so to find out that the one person that I thought that I could have was the exact person that I knew I couldn't have, well. It was heartbreaking.

"Y/N, I'm so sorry, I was trying to find the right time to tell you." he gulped as he stood up. I took a step back from him, making him choke.

"Y/N..." he mumbled. I bit my lip and looked at him as I desperately tried not to cry. It wasn't working.

"You've been Spider-Man this whole time? I've been ranting, I've been raving, I've been pouring my fucking heart out to you, and you never once thought to tell me that it was you." I scoffed and shook my head as tears started to roll down my face.

"I know, and I'm so sorry, but please see it from my point of view. Never once have you told me any of this as Peter. I had to hear through my alter-ego that you were in love with someone who you couldn't have, how heartbroken you were about it. Do you know how fucking painful it is to know that my best friend doesn't trust me enough to tell me something like that?" he choked and shook his head. I gulped and bit my lip as I desperately refrained from exposing the truth.

"I-it's not that I don't trust you, Pete, I just, I-I didn't think that you'd understand what it feels like to not be able to have the one person that you love." I lied and shook my head. He clenched his jaw at me.

"You want to bet?" he nodded as a tear fell down his face. I bit my lip, my heart aching as I continued to cry.

"I can't do this anymore, Peter. Not that I know now that you're...that you're him." I choked and shook my head. His eyes widened.

"No, please, Y/N, our talks mean so much to me too-."

"Peter, I can't!" I cried. He choked, his lip in between his teeth as we just stared at each other with red and puffy eyes. I looked down, my heart in my throat. I had to get out of here.

"I'll see you around, Peter." I mumbled as I headed to the door on the roof.

"Y/N, please!" he called after me, but I ignored him as I rushed through the door and headed back downstairs.

Peter's P.O.V

Peter's hand landed against Y/N's waist, making the beautiful girl lean down and rest her head against his shoulder. He rested his head on top of hers, both of them looking out as the sun started to set.

"How was your day? You still thinking about him? The guy that you're in love with?" He mumbled. Y/N bit her lip.

"No...you're all that I think about now." She admitted quietly. Peter's eyes widened and he raised his head to look at her, making her gulp as she looked at him too.

"I'm...what you think about? Me?" He gulped. She returned it and looked down.

"Yeah, you are. It's just that you've helped me so much over the last couple of months, you've helped me get over the guy. I know that it's kind of silly, especially since I don't know what you look like, but I just...I feel a real connection between us." She spoke as she looked up at him. He looked at her with wide white eyes, his ears barely believing what they were hearing. Peter and MJ had started dating two months ago and for the longest time, that's what Peter had thought that he'd wanted. Turns out that he had been wrong. He loved MJ, sure, but he'd learned over the two months that he loved her like a best friend as opposed to a girlfriend, and he strongly suspected that she felt the same. What he'd also realised over those two months, was that he was in love with Y/N instead. The pair had started talking with him as Spider-Man the day that Peter and MJ had told her that they were dating, and he had found her upset. She had admitted to him that she was in love with someone that she couldn't have, though he still didn't know who that was. Part of him was slightly hopeful that it was him, though. But the next dilemma was why she hadn't told Peter as himself about any of this. After all, they were supposed to be best friends.

"H-how come you can never say this to me normally?" He scoffed and shook his head. Her eyebrows furrowed at his words.

"What? What do you mean?" She scoffed. His white eyes widened again and he looked down, his heart starting to race as he realised the words that he'd let slip.

"Shit." He whispered and rubbed his gloved hand against his face. Y/N stood up, making him sigh and look up at her. Well done, Pete, you really fucked this one up, the boy thought.

"What do you mean, how come I never say this to you? I've been extremely open with you this entire time, and I don't know you in my normal life-." He sighed and looked down, making her eyes widen.

"Spider-Man, who the fuck are you?" She gulped. He returned it, his hand gripping the edge of the roof as the other hand raised to his head. His cover was truly and utterly blown, so he figured that it was time to tell the beautiful girl the truth. Y/N watched with wide eyes as he started to pull his mask off. He pulled the fabric off, making her choke. Peter looked down with a clenched jaw, his mind refusing to make him look up as he could just imagine how upset Y/N was right now. He was really hoping that this wouldn't ruin everything, but he wasn't that optimistic right now. He finally made himself look up at her, his heart breaking as tears were already streaming down her skin.

"Y/N, I'm so sorry, I was trying to find the right time to tell you." he gulped as he stood up. She took a step back from him, making him choke. He had really fucked up.

"Y/N..." he mumbled. She bit her lip and looked at him.

"You've been Spider-Man this whole time? I've been ranting, I've been raving, I've been pouring my fucking heart out to you, and you never once thought to tell me that it was you." She scoffed and shook her head as tears continued to roll down her beautiful face.

"I know, and I'm so sorry, but please see it from my point of view. Never once have you told me any of this as Peter. I had to hear through my alter-ego that you were in love with someone who you couldn't have, how heartbroken you were about it. Do you know how fucking painful it is to know that my best friend doesn't trust me enough to tell me something like that?" he choked and shook his head. He knew that he had very little right to be upset right now, but he figured that he had a point. The pair were supposed to be best friends, and yet she'd told all of her secrets to Spider-Man over him. He had to admit that that hurt. She gulped and bit her lip.

"I-it's not that I don't trust you, Pete, I just, I-I didn't think that you'd understand what it feels like to not be able to have the one person that you love." She shook her head. He clenched his jaw at her as he desperately tried to keep the truth from her that he did know what that felt like, because he loved her.

"You want to bet?" he nodded as a tear fell down his face. She bit her lip as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

"I can't do this anymore, Peter. Not that I know now that you're...that you're him." She choked and shook her head. His eyes widened, his heart plummeting to his feet yet again.

"No, please, Y/N, our talks mean so much to me too-."

"Peter, I can't!" She cried. He choked, his lip in between his teeth as they just stared at each other with red and puffy eyes. Everything was ruined, everything was fucking ruined.

"I'll see you around, Peter." She mumbled as she headed to the door on the roof.

"Y/N, please!" he called after her, but she ignored him as she rushed through the door and headed back downstairs. He choked, his head starting to hurt from how much he was crying as he held his hands to his hair. How had this gone so wrong, fucking how? Peter didn't know. What he did know was that he had to fix it. He gulped harshly, a lump in his throat as he headed to the door. He knew exactly what he had to do.

Y/N's P.O.V

It had been a week since I had discovered that Peter was Spider-Man, and things had been tough. The day after in school, I had actively avoided Peter and MJ, and then had started to notice that they were also growing apart throughout the week. I didn't know what had happened but all I knew was that on the last day of school, I hadn't seen them together once. Maybe they'd broken up, but I was aware that that was nothing more than wishful thinking. I was pulled from my thoughts by a knock on my front door. I stood up, a sigh leaving my lips as I got up to answer it. I opened it, my eyes wavering as I immediately wished that I hadn't.

"Hey." Peter gulped, his eyes sad as he looked at me. I clenched my jaw and desperately tried not to cry.

"What are you doing here?" I scoffed quietly.

"I need to talk to you. I know that you have every right to never want to talk to me again, but I promise that you're going to want to hear what I've got to say." He begged. I sighed, my mind telling me not to let him in but my heart telling me to hear him out. I stepped aside, the boy sighing in relief and giving me a thankful smile as I let him in. I shut the door as he went to sit on my sofa. I bit my lip, desperately trying to control my emotions as I sat down next to him. An awkward silence filled the space between us, both of us timidly looking at each other as we tried to figure out what to say to each other.

"I broke up with MJ." Peter broke the silence with his quiet admission. My eyes widened and I looked at him.

"What?" I scoffed. He nodded and gave me a small smile but it quickly died as he looked down at his fingers.

"Yeah. It felt wrong to stay with her after everything was admitted. After you said that I didn't know what it felt like to love someone that I couldn't have." He mumbled. I squinted my eyes at him, my mind struggling to understand.

"Peter, I never told you who I was talking about-."

"I know that you didn't, but I know what it's like because I'm in love with you." He nodded. My eyes widened, a choke leaving my lips. He gulped and his eyes wavered as he realised what he'd just said.

"You're not in love with me. You're not." I choked and shook my head.

"Yeah, Y/N. I am. I unfortunately didn't realise until I asked MJ out, but things didn't feel right." He mumbled. I stared at him with wide eyes, my brain struggling to comprehend this. I had ripped myself apart for the last two months, I had fallen for Spider-Man who had ended up being my best friend, only to find out that he loved me back this entire time.

"Peter, I...I don't know what to say." I gulped and shook my head.

"That's okay. It's a lot, I know. And I understand if you still want me to just leave. I just, I figured that I had to tell you. But...yeah. I'm sorry for everything." He choked as he stood up.

"Peter, wait." I stopped him, catching his hand in mine as he walked past me. He looked down at me, his gorgeous chocolate eyes staring into mine as I slowly stood up. We stared at each other, Peter's gaze flicking to my lips as I moved closer to him. My heart pounded in my chest and my mind raced as we slowly leant in. He closed his eyes, his lips brushing my cheek as he continued to lean down. My eyes fluttered shut and my hands raised to cup his face as he leant down and pressed our lips together. I returned the kiss, his hands raising to cup my waist and pull my body into his. He smiled into it, making me return it. This was the moment that I'd been waiting for, and to say that it was perfect was an understatement. I broke the kiss and looked down, Peter's lips delicately pressing to my cheek and jawbone.

"What's wrong, angel?" He mumbled into my skin. I bit my lip and looked up at him, making him give me a small smile as his hand raised to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Nothing, I just...I've been in love with you since freshman year. So, I've waited a long time for that moment." I smiled, making him laugh and nod.

"I'm sorry that you had to wait so long for me to get my shit together." He chuckled. I shook my head and placed my hands on his chest, his arms still wrapped around my waist.

"What about MJ, though?" I gulped, making him sigh.

"She was hurt, but she understood." He reassured. I bit my lip and nodded.

"That being said, can I take you out sometime? I'd love to make up for the years of unrealised feelings." He teased, making me chuckle and look at him.

"I'd love to, Pete." I nodded. He returned it and smiled again before leaning down and kissing me again.
