"I'm not asking for too much, I'm asking
the wrong motherfucker."

3rd Person's POV

About a month passes, Mila and Peter still weren't on speaking terms. Mila finally got her sling off, which she was super excited about. She started to walk from Oscorp instead of getting a ride from Phil. This was because she knew a certain someone was watching her. And when she made it known that she knew he was there.

Slowly but surely, Spiderman would come out of the shadows and walk her home. The two got closer with each passing night. They would talk about anything and everything. Spiderman was filling the hole that Peter had left.

Mila still had no idea that Peter was indeed Spiderman, but she was happier. Peter realized that he really didn't know Mila like he thought he did. There was definitely more that meets the eye. He had found out that she was actually a genius. He felt as if he was getting his best friend back. However he also knew there was lingering feeling that he had. He didn't want to come to terms that he may have his childhood crush back.

Another thing Peter realized, was that the closer Mila got to Spiderman the more she would tell him about this guy she used to like. Peter was really jealous. He knew he had no reason to be but he was. With each passing day, Peter was more and more confused.

...

Mila is walking down the street holding her umbrella as she gets father and farther away from Oscorp. She had left later than she usually did so she didn't expect Spiderman to be waiting for her. And as she thought, he wasn't. She wasn't upset about it, Spiderman was a superhero. He had to save lives not follow her around.

Sighing she crosses the street and walks past a lit up alley way. Glancing over she sees a group of men drinking. She quickly looks away and curses as she hears them walk up behind her cat calling.

"Why does this always happen to me?"

Mila runs down the sidewalk in the pouring rain trying her hardest to get away from the men following her. They whistle at her as they quickly catch up.

"Where you going baby?"

"Aw don't run from us sweetheart."

One of the guys grabs her arm making her pull back her fist and punch him in the nose. He grunts and lets her go then holds onto his bleeding nose.

Another guy grips onto her waist making her stomp on his foot.

"Get off!"

She shoves her elbow into his side and then into his face. He lets her go and she turns to run but only runs into the chest of another man. She raises her leg to kick him in the foods until he holds up a knife and smiles, "I wouldn't do that if I were you gorgeous."

"Fuck off."

The man grabs her cheeks and smooshes her face in his hand, "Such a dirty mouth on a pretty girl like you. Maybe we should fix that."

Just as he raises the knife up to her face, he is yanked away by a web. The other men yell in shock as more webs attach to them as well pulling them across the alley in mid air.

Mila runs her hands down her face and pushes her hair out the way as she watches Spiderman fight the group of men. She swiftly ducks down as Spiderman throws one guy into the glass window behind her. She moves off the sidewalk and walks closer to Spiderman who had just knocked out the last man.

She tries not to sneak up on him but she realized for the first time he wasn't wearing his mask as always. She tries to hold her breath as she makes her way to his shadowed figure. Her eyes try to adjust to the dark as she comes up closer to him.

Peter freezes as he hears Mila behind him. He quickly shoots out a web and swings onto the top of a building. He hoped she hadn't seen his face. Quickly he yanks in his mask and listens to her follow him.

He was glad he got to her on time. He had just come from Gwen's and she spent hours asking him what had been wrong with him. She could tell he was slightly off. But of course while with Gwen his spidey senses tingled and he knew Mila was in trouble. He didn't even put on his mask as he flew out Gwen's window. Now he hoped that Mila hadn't seen his face.

"Wait!"

Mila frowns as he disappears. She thought they had gotten past this point of shyness. He had been around her 24/7 now but she still had no idea who he was. It bothered her a bit but she got used to it.

"You have a knack for getting in trouble."

Mila jumps and spins around with a chuckle as Spiderman hangs upside down in front of her.

"And you have a knack for saving my life. I'm pretty sure at this point you're my superhero stalker."

"I was in the neighborhood."

"Aren't you always?" Mila glances behind her at all the knocked out men then back at Spiderman, "You're- um well pretty amazing."

Spiderman shrugs, "Some people don't think so."

"Well you are. Screw them."

Spiderman chuckles, "Nice to have a fan."

Mila scoffs and runs her hands in her hair, "I'm sure... So Spidey... Do I get to say thank you this time?"

"This time?"

"You always seem to disappear before I can thank you."

"Okay go ahead."

Mila smiles and slowly reaches for his mask. She pulls the mask down to his nose then leans forward and kisses him.

Peter freezes as Mila's lips touch his. This was his best friend. He had never imagined himself in this position. He felt the sparks that he heard everyone talk about. He only believed that happened in movies but here right now he knew that things with Mila had changed.

Before Peter can kiss back Mila quickly moves away and curses. She shakes her head slowly and backs away.

"I'm sorry... I just... I'm so sorry."

Spider-Man jumps down from the web and stands right side up. He quickly grabs Mila's hand as she tries to leave.

"It's fine Mila. What's wrong?"

"I just. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know... That guy I just can't seem to get him out my head. No matter how hard I try. I don't know why... he doesn't like me back... but I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. You just... you kind of remind me of him."

Peter's mind races as he thinks about the guy that his best friend likes. Why did Spider-Man remind her of the guy? Who was the guy?

Peter frowns as he watches a small tear fall down her cheek. She laughs angrily as she wipes it away.

"Gosh why am I so upset over him. He hasn't tried to talk to me... he doesn't even care about me."

"Mila I'm sure that's not true. Anyone would be lucky to know you. Hell they would be lucky to date you. Whoever the guy is just doesn't know what's in-front of him."

Mila shrugs sadly, "Maybe... I'm sorry again. I'm gonna just go home."

"You want me to walk with you?"

"No! No... I need to clear my head."

Spider-Man nods as he watches her walk away. Peter takes off his mask as she disappears from sight. He lets out a breath and slides down to sit on the ground.

He was in big trouble. He didn't know who Mila liked, all he knew was that he was regretting his decision to date Gwen. He had missed Mila so much and he wanted nothing more than to be in her life. Gwen was great but Mila was so much more. He wondered if she would ever forgive him.
