New York City, Queens, night time, the time when almost everything is calm and quiet, except for a few cars honking in the distance. Night in the city is my favorite because it's the time when I can sneak out my bedroom window, and onto the fire escape, and gaze at the view, granted it's not much, but still being able to sit out there and just admire the city is amazing. Most times I even climb up the fire escape and onto the roof of my apartment, I crawl up there and sit with a blanket, a book or something and I just relax. The roof was often the place I went to escape from everything, where I went when I had a particularly bad day and just needed somewhere quiet to cry. Or somewhere I could do my homework without people bothering me. And sometimes it was the place I went to see Queens own neighborhood hero swinging from buildings. I actually saw him quite often, but he never noticed me, and why would he, why would he notice the girl who sneaks out her window every night, climbs onto the roof to sit and watch the city. In fact, he shouldn't notice me, I was normal, ordinary, and blended in with the shadows of night. Slipped under the cover of protection the darkness offered. I didn't mind the fact that he never noticed me whenever he swings past my building, I was perfectly content to watch from afar and never wanted to get any closer. In fact, a part of me hoped that he didn't happen to glance my direction and see me sitting on my roof, and my hopes were granted. Except eventually your luck runs out and fate has a funny way of doing exactly what you hope it doesn't do.

Night had fallen over New York city and as usual, I crept out my room to the kitchen, grabbing any snacks I wanted. I took the snacks back to my room and looked at the laptop and backpack lying innocently on top of my bed. Sighing I grabbed them and zipped up my backpack slinging over my shoulder I made sure my bedroom door was closed before opening up my window and climbing out onto the fire escape. I took a deep breath breathing in the cold New York night air, I sighed again and looked up towards the roof. I smiled slightly and climbed up the fire escape up to the roof. I tossed my backpack a little way onto the roof and stood to admire the view. I smiled and then frowned remembering how much work I had to do. I sat down next to my backpack and spread my work out in front of me, making sure to have something heavy on at least the corner of the papers so they wouldn't fly away. I glanced down at the papers in front of me, frowning deeply, I had a chemistry test tomorrow and had no Idea how to do anything, it was too late to ask the teacher, and none of my friends would be awake right now, at least not the ones that took chemistry. I took out my notebook and the rest of my stuff. I had tons of stuff to do cause I put off all my work till the day its due. Then want to sit here and stress about how much work I had to do until I'm close to tears, and have to rush all my work. So here I was as usual with all my work laid out in front of me, along with the long list of stuff I have to do so I could check them off as I went along the list. I growled just looking at the list and, brought my chemistry homework out in front of me, that would be my first priority. I went and retrieved the blanket I kept stashed up here and wrapped myself up, after shaking it out for any bugs. I sat back down with my blanket around me and played some music on my phone quietly, I took out a pencil and hummed along to the music. I stared at the paper in front of me as I had been doing for the past 10 minutes, I let out a harsh breath of frustration as I shook my head to clear the approaching negative thoughts.

"No" I whisper, clenching my fists, warding off my thoughts, they faded but lingered in the back of my mind, waiting till my defenses were down. I closed my eyes, taking a few deep breaths to keep the thoughts at bay for a little longer. "C' mon I can do this" I mumbled, drinking some water and focusing back on my work. About ten more minutes of staring at the same sheet of paper, the same problems, I felt the tears brimming in my eyes, threatening to fall, and with my defenses down my thoughts giggled with excitement as they all rushed out at once dragging me down further. 'You can't do this' One whispered towards me, 'just give up' another added, 'c' mon just stop trying you're not gonna get it' a third taunted. The thing is, I knew I could do it, I knew how to solve them, I just can't remember, I've learned the formulas and know the steps, I just can't call forth the information. I clench my fists again giving one last attempt at trying to remember how, but give up when nothing comes to mind. One tear falls down my cheek and I watch its path towards the floor, another closely following. This realization leads to more tears as the floodgates open. I really can't do it, and my quiet sobs were proof enough of that. I put my face into my hands and my shoulders shudder. I can't remember how long I stay like that. But I hear feet land very quietly behind me, and a voice pulls me away from my thoughts and tears.

"Umm excuse me miss?" The voice says hesitantly as if unsure they should be talking to me, "A-are you alright miss?" The voice asks as my head shoots up, and stares straight ahead, I turn around slowly to answer the voice, and ask them what they're doing up here, at this time, and my eyes widen in surprise as Queen's local crime-fighter stands behind me shyly twiddling his thumbs.

"I... u-hhh" I stutter unable to speak, remembering how many times he swung past paying no mind to the girl sitting on her roof... I am brought out of my thoughts and remember how to talk. "Yes, yes I'm alright...." I said wiping away the tears trailing down my cheeks.

"Are you sure?" He asks clearly skeptical of my tear-stained cheeks.

"Yeah, it's just chemistry homework" I sniffle chuckling lightly

"Oh, I take chemistry, maybe I could help you," he said, and as the tone of his voice rose a little, I imagined his face lighting up. Not that I knew what he looked like behind the mask.

"Don't you have some crime to stop or something like that?" I asked smiling slightly, and sniffling again

"It's kind of a slow night actually," he said reaching up to rub the back of his neck, "plus anything to help a citizen in need," He said making his voice deeper to sound more official. Making me chuckle a bit.

"Then I guess I'm ok with it," I said picking up my chem papers.

"Awesome, so let's see what you're working on..." He said as he sat down and raised his mask to right above his nose, enough so I could see his mouth and his voice was less muffled. He crisscrosses his legs and sat next to me cuddled up in my blanket cocoon. He sat there explaining everything to me for longer than I kept track of, and slowly I let my guard down and got comfortable around him, he who was comfortable from the beginning just grew a little more relaxed and carefree, and made a few jokes as we worked. Soon we moved on from chemistry and onto math, then English, and Spanish and any other work I had to do. Before I knew it I checked my phone and it was 3:00 Am, and he was still there helping me with my last assignment. I finished it, "Is that all?" He asked cheerily, and I wondered if he even knew what time it was.

"Yep, that's it" I smiled and started packing up my stuff, putting it all into my backpack. And stashing my blanket where it had been before I came up here. I put my backpack on my back and climbed down the fire escape to my bedroom window. Spider-man followed me down and saw to it I got back in my apartment safely before saying goodbye.

"Alright well, you get some sleep..." He trailed off not knowing my name.

"(y/n)" I finished for him

"Ah yes, well get some sleep (y/n), and good luck on your chem test tomorrow," He said bringing his mask down to cover his mouth.

"yeah, Thank you, again for all your help," I said smiling,

"No problem, it was my pleasure," He said before jumping off my fire escape and swinging away after I climbed in my window. I sighed a small smile left on my face, It's safe to say I slept fairly well that night.

To Be Continued.....

A/N: This was just a short little guy, some of my writing is so much longer than this they're like a 20-minute read, not even kidding. This is one of my older writings that I've posted so it's probably not as good as the Jesper one I wrote recently, but it's still good enough to publish it. Part 2 will be up shortly! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this, and as usual any likes, comments, reblogs, and shares are greatly appreciated to help this blog take off.

“I guess I’m just used to wearing a costume every day,” Peter laughed as he pulled her close for a kiss.

“Oh, that reminds me. I brought some provisions for THE first day of Halloween,” Peter said.

 Peter removed the backpack from his shoulder. This was his third new backpack this month. Inside were Halloween themed pajamas and socks as well as hot chocolate packets and Pillsbury ready-to-bake ghost cookies.

“You do realize these are all just marketing ploys to take advantage of people during holidays. Social constructs that cause people to feel the need to buy all of these items just to fit in and meet Instagram’s demands for what is portrayed as necessary to celebrate a holiday,” MJ declared.

“I hear you but… that lady that owns the grocery store with the sweet old dog. You know, the one that lays behind the counter, but never stops wagging his tail. The one in lower Manhattan. She offered me a discount for stopping another robbery tonight,” Peter replied quickly.

MJ raised her brow again.

“I protested, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer,” Peter said earnestly.

“I suppose we can be that couple for one evening,” MJ said pointedly. “But don’t even think about posting a picture with a caption like ‘My Boo!’ tonight.”

“You got it boss,” Peter said as he went to the bathroom to change into the Halloween pajamas.

He returned to find MJ in the corresponding set of skeleton pajamas as the oven’s preheat setting beeped. Peter placed the refrigerated cookies on a sheet pan and set out the mugs for the hot cocoa. MJ set up the movie.

“So, what’re we watching?” Peter asked.

“I picked Scream for tonight. I figured I would ease you into my horror movie collection starting with a 90’s classic, and we’ll get to the more obscure films later.”

 “You don’t want to ease me in with like Monsters Inc.?” Peter smiled sheepishly.

“You fight crime daily, but you’re afraid of a little scary movie?” MJ teased. 

Peter scooped MJ up in his arms, kissing her forehead. They snuggled onto the couch. MJ was still in Peter’s arms, laying on his chest.

“You know, you make a pretty cute skeleton,” Peter whispered.

Peter lightly outlined the picture of an arm bone down MJ’s shirt sleeve. He traced it the whole way to her fingertips. Then, he grasped her hand within his.

“Shut up, Parker,” MJ giggled.

She had started to trace the bones on Peter’s matching pajamas. Suddenly, MJ felt Peter’s hand graze her chin. He lightly pulled her face to look upward at him. Sitting up now, Peter bent to kiss MJ from above. He saw that in a movie once. Their lips fit together perfectly. He squeezed her hand and she squeezed back. All the chaos, heartache, and struggles that came with being Spider-Man melted away as Peter breathed in MJ’s honey shampoo scent in her curly hair as strands of it tickled his face. They kissed the world away.

However, as Peter’s heart began to hammer in his chest, the timer from the oven parted their lips. MJ turned over, now properly oriented to look him in the eye and gave him a final peck. She then went to the kitchen to bring the cookies in. Then, she set them down on the coffee table in front of the couch with the hot chocolates. They each took one, but Peter put it in his mouth too quickly.

“Ooo… ooo! Too hot!” Peter mumbled over his burnt tongue and waived his hand.

He reached for his cup of hot chocolate.

“Peter wai—”

Peter’s eyes went wide as the steaming liquid passed his lips.

“It’s called hot chocolate for a reason, Parker” MJ teased.

She kissed him on the cheek and wiped the hot chocolate from the side of his mouth with her thumb.

“I guess the Spidey sense didn’t realize cookies and cocoa could be a threat too, huh?” Peter said, cheeks reddening.

“That’s alright. I’ll protect you from the sinister cookies,” MJ murmured as she put a now-cooled cookie in his mouth and took one for herself.

She was laying in his chest again with one hand on his sleeve. Peter took another bite of cookie. It was warm and sweet. These were the moments he truly lived for—the stolen kisses, the tender touches, and the pure passion he felt when he was with MJ. He snuggled close as they watched a panicked Drew Barrymore run from Ghostface. With every sharp intake of Peter’s breath as Barrymore’s death loomed closer, MJ squeezed his hand. She was his protector too.

Suddenly, MJ’s phone screen lit up. She picked it up to see the news alert.

“Peter, there’s a five-alarm fire in Hell’s Kitchen,” she said with dismay.

Peter webbed his backpack to his hands. He went back to the bathroom to change back into the Spider-Man suit. When he returned, he kept his eyes on the floor. Peter wanted to stay snuggled into the couch, holding MJ tight. MJ crossed the room to him and brushed his cheek.

“It’s ok, Peter. There’s thirty more days of Halloween,” she smiled.

He returned the smile and kissed her once more, beginning yet another premature exit out the apartment window. Peter looked at MJ one more time as he pulled his mask down.

“Go get ‘em, Tiger,” MJ said with a wink.

Peter’s heart skipped a beat and he smiled under his mask as he swung to the out of the window. 

You tapped impatiently on your knee as you blasted your favorite song in your earbuds. You and the man in front of you grew furious as honks were coming from all directions in the busy highway. Letting out a soft sigh, you pressed your fingers against your temples to ease the headache that was now growing.

The man in front of you signaled the driver to move faster to the destination. He looked at you and placed a hand on top of yours. His curls fell over his eyes as he looked at you.

“Everything is going to be alright Y/N and don’t worry. I am very sure that this mission is going to be a success,” he spoke in a soft whisper, as though his voice was supposed to comfort you.

“After these 10 years of me working for you, that’s all you can say?” you cocked your head to the side.

“You can think of this as a new experience,” he ran a hand through his curls. “anyways it’s not somebody that you don’t know.”

“That’s the problem, Ben!” your tone increased, startling Ben in front of you. He turned away and glanced at the road in front of him.

In the sweltering heat, you lied back in your seat and slowly drifted back to sleep.

“Yeah Z, I am going to leave London for awhile. Oh, I am going to France. I was going to meet my cousin there,” you balanced your phone in between your ear ad your shoulder as you threw your clothes into your luggage bag.

“Jeez, that’s unfair! How are you able to go on a vacation while I am stuck here acting like a secretary for an old idiot?” you chuckled at the exasperation of her voice.

“Hey, I finished my mission last week and I deserve this,” you reasoned with her as you zipped up your bulging luggage bag.

“Bye, Y/N, duty calls,” Zendaya ended the call as you dropped your phone on your bed. You dressed up and got ready to leave your house.

You smile triumphantly at the thought of the relaxing vacation awaiting you.

“The only thing stopping me now is,” you paused, wanting to say that it was a plane ride, “a phone call from Ben?”

You picked up your ringing phone and placed it to your ear. 

“Hey, Y/N, can you get in the black car that is parked to your right?” you turned to see a sleek black Audi and walked towards it.

You were confused because Ben always had a calm voice but now he sounded nervous and tensed up. Whatever the matter was, you knew it was very serious.

“Oh yes, good morning Agent Rose,” Ben greeted you as soon as you got into the car. Agent Rose was your code name and Ben usually used it if you were on a mission or if there was an upcoming one.

“Ben, what is,” even before you could ask, he interjected, “Driver, can you please drive to the hotel?”

The driver gave him a small nod and stepped on the accelerator. You were confused and gave Ben a strange look.

“What’s going on? Don’t tell me you booked a hotel for me at France. No, wait, that would be too kind of you,” you crossed your arms.

“You packed a swimsuit, right?”

You woke up to someone shaking you and you saw Ben. You scowled at him and got out from the car. You inhaled a sharp breath as you saw the marvelous  structure of the Five Seasons Hotel.

Ben led you in and you had to hold in your gasp when you saw the decor of the hotel. The soft golden light from chandeliers gave an ethereal look to the hotel and the couches were designed to make the guests feel more at home.

You felt a little underdressed as you were only wearing a crop top, a jacket and a pair of black leggings. You opted for this outfit as the weather today was very hot.

Ben gave his details to the receptionist as you felt relaxed in the cold air-conditioned lobby of the hotel. 

You stepped into the elevator as you slightly drummed your fingers against your thigh. Ben opened the door and you slid your bag over to the side and plopped yourself on the bed.

“Careful on the bed Y/N,” you heard a voice and you craned your neck to see a familiar face in sight. You smiled widely as you saw Kate at the door, kissing Ben’s cheek.

Kate is Ben’s girlfriend and they have together for more than 2 years. She also is super secret agent like Ben and you sometimes go out for dinner with her.

“You know, you are supposed to be setting a good example for youths, like me. I don’t think this is appropriate,” you said teasingly, as Kate chuckled.

“Well, I guess that they are setting a very good example,” a deep voice sent the chills down your spine. You turned to see Tom standing by the bathroom with his arms crossed as a towel hung loosely on his hips.

You let your eyes run over his body and as your eyes starts to travel south, Kate clears her throat. You peel your gaze away from him and focus on the ugly vase beside the shelf to divert your attention.

“Okay, first of all, I am obliged to tell you the reason why I brought you guys here,” Ben clasped his hands together, “ and for the love of God, Tom can you at least wear a shirt?”

“With no pants?” Tom smirked at you and looked up at Ben.

Kate retrieved a Glock from the nearest drawer and pointed it at Tom who was now startled by her sudden demeanor. 

“You better get your ass in there before I put a bullet through your head,” she responded, her stance unwavering. You stared at shock as Tom grabbed his shirt and literally ran to the bathroom.

Kate set down her gun on the table as she sighed softly. “I am sorry about Tom’s behavior, he’s always been like that ever since I took under me,” she smiled softly at you. You shook your head and looked up at her.

“Oh don’t worry, Kate, I know. Surviving with him could be a real bitch,” you gave her a reassuring smile, but instead was met with a confused one.

“You knew him before this?”

“Yes,” you hesitated, “but I would prefer not to talk about that.” 

She pursed her lips into tight line and Tom walked into the room at the same time. You felt the bed drop as he sat on it. You breathed the strong smell of his cologne and you felt like you could get lost in it. Mentally slapping yourself, you decided to get back on track.

“So, in this mission, we have a drug cartel in our hands, and so far we have caught every single member in that ring but not the leader,” Ben started.

You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. When the members of a drug ring are caught, it would be quite easy to catch the leader. There is no need to enlist the help of even a spy.

Both you and Tom looked at each other, clearly having the same thought in mind. Kate seemed to understood that and said “Unfortunately, he has been escaping the police and the spies by travelling from one country to another. Clearly, he has been using fake identities to mask himself from authorities,”

“He is having a pool party today and we managed to get invitations, disguised as potential investors for his hotel business,” 

“HELL YEAH, POOL PARTY!,” Tom pumped his fists in the air prompting Kate to tape his mouth with duct tape.

“So, who is this guy anyways?” you asked, relieved that Tom has finally stopped talking.

Ben showed you a picture of a man in his forties who certainly looked like a businessman. You knew that was a facade to mask his drug cartel.

“If you guys are going and have the invitations to the party, why do you guys need us? Is it for surveillance?” 

“Who even said that we were going?” Ben and Kate chuckled in sync.

Your eyebrows raised in revelation as you finally understood what was going on.

“NOOOO!” both you and Tom shouted in unison, clearly who had taken his duct tape off.

“You will be going as Mr Sam Wilson and Miss Anna Wilson. According to the information given, you both are engaged and will get married in 2 months. Now, let’s get ready for your mission,” Ben said nonchalantly as he pulled Tom out of the room with him.

You plopped on your bed and craned your head to see Kate sorting through your luggage bag to make sure you have the correct attire to wear.

This fucking sucks, you thought to yourself.

You will never ever forget the day you first met Tom and it was both a exhilarating and bitter experience.

“Hey Kate, do I really need to be on this mission? You know, if not this mission, I could be on a flight to my dream vacation,” you sigh.

Kate shook her head and gave you a hug as she patted your head.

“It’s all going to be all right, honey,” she gave some reassurance.

After 10 minutes, Tom appeared in front of your room’s door with a grumpy face alongside Ben.

“Here are your comms and they are waterproof so that even if you go to the pool the signals won’t be affected,” Ben handed the devices to us.

You attached the device as Ben and Kate gestured you both to go out and go to the new car for your mission. 

After you sat in the car, you heard Ben speaking through the comms and ensure that there were no problems in communications. 

Tom slid in the key to rev up the engine and you turned your head to see Kate and Ben following in a black van.

So much for secrecy...

You reached for the switch to turn the radio but as soon it was turned on, Tom turned it off.

This little piece of shit, you thought to yourself.

You plugged in your earphones and glanced out the window to entertain yourself and eventually you fell asleep.

_______NEXT DAY___________ I woke up to my alarm blaring loudly in my ear, and my dad kicking my mattress to wake me up. "I'm up I'm up" I mumbled sleepily, as my dad opened my curtains, and left my room. I sat up rubbing my eyes and walked to turn off my alarm clock, yawning I went to the closet to pick out something to wear. I eventually chose a black sweatshirt with (favorite tv/movie character) on it, and some jeans along with my black old skool converse. I went downstairs and sighed as I read the note from my mom on the counter telling me there was an emergency at work and I had to walk to school today. I walked into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of cereal. I yawned, I spent the entire previous night studying for my chemistry test with New York's Favorites spider and I was ready to get an A on my chem test. I eat my cereal silently before putting my empty bowl in the sink and grabbing my backpack. "Dad I'm heading off to school" I yelled loudly.

"Alright honey good luck on your test" he yelled back.

"Bye dad!" I said walking out the door hooking my fingers through my backpack straps. I walked down the hall of my apartment building taking the elevator all the way down. Walking out the front door of the building I looked to my right and left before turning right and heading towards the subway station. I went down into the subway station and took the train to school on the bus I saw one of my best friends, Peter Parker. I made my way through the people on the subway station towards him there were no seats nearby but I still said hello. He stood up offering me his seat which I gratefully accepted.

"Wow peter who knew you were such a gentleman" I remarked sitting down in the seat he previously occupied.

"Why thank you m'lady" he said with a mock bow, taking my hand and kissing it jokingly. I laughed loudly, trying to hide the sound of my heart beating loudly in my chest. As I internally swooned.

"And they say chivalry is dead" I said with a giggle.

"Well here I am chivalrous as always" he responded with a laugh as our train pulled into the station stopping slowly. Peter and I left the train station together and continue the walk to our school, midtown high school of science and technology. We parted ways and moved to separate hallways. I went to find my locker and then head to my chemistry class. I sat down in my seat next to my friend MJ.

"You look like hell" I laughed as I sat down next to her.

"Gee thanks, I just got back" She mumbled putting her head on the desk, as I laughed again.

"ready for our test?" I asked her

"Always am" She replied with a cocky smile.

"Okay, okay, I get it you're a chemistry genius," I mumbled quietly as our teacher told us to log on to our computers to take our tests. The class sat in silence as we all took our test, thank god Spiderman just happened to be swinging by last night to help me with my chemistry. Otherwise I would be crying my way through this test. I finished my test five minutes before the bell rang and waited for the computer to grade my score. I silently cheered as I read the number 95% on my computer screen. I put my computer away in my backpack and rested my head on the desk for the rest of class.

_______Time skip to End of day_____

I poked my head out my bedroom door and made sure my mom was asleep, and my dad was at work. She was so I ran to get some food from the kitchen, before retreating quickly back into my room. I grabbed my backpack and climbed out the window, and up to the roof, only to almost fall off the fire escape, after seeing a figure I hadn't expected to see, Spider-man sat there on his phone, with his legs hanging off the edge of the roof. He didn't notice me until I cleared my throat and spoke up.

"Oh um, hey spidey," I said semi-awkwardly as I wasn't expecting him to be there. He jumped in surprise and almost dropped his phone

"Oh, h-hey Niya" He answered with what I assumed was a smile under the mask.

"Whatcha doing here?" I asked finishing my climb onto the rooftop, and dropping my backpack next to him, I went to retrieve my blanket, I shook it out for bugs as I did the previous night and went to sit next to spidey and cuddled up inside my cocoon.

"W-well I u-uh wanted to s-see how you d-did on y-your chem t-test" He stuttered adorably, and I saw the pink dusting his cheeks, as he had pulled his mask up to his nose again, keeping the rest of his face covered again.

"wwweeeeellll" I drew out the word, "I got an A" I squealed in delight

"Oh, no way that's awesome!" He said sharing my excitement.

"Yeah, your help literally saved me, otherwise I would have for sure failed." I gushed, extremely thankful for all of his help the previous night.

"Oh well, you're welcome..." He said blushing again, as I giggled.

"You know it's really easy to make you blush," I said with another giggle, hitting him on the arm softly.

"Oh..." He smiled sadly and pulled his mask back down, I watched as his spider eyes went all squinty and sad looking.

"No, no, I was just joking," I said Apologetically, turning to him, I pulled his mask back up over the bridge of his nose and smiled again. "It's kinda cute," I said with a smile and a boop to his nose.

"o-oh u-um t-thanks you're uh k-kinda c-cu-cute too I g-guess," He said hurriedly, as his spider eyes went from squinty to super-wide.

"Thanks," I said happily, scooting closer to him, now that I've gotten a little more relaxed around him. "say... what's the crime rate like tonight" I asked slowly with a sly smile.

"not bad I've already done my rounds tonight and found absolutely no crime," He said with a smile, "why do you ask?" He asked slowly.

"well, I have a math test tomorrow, and well I was wondering if you could help me..." I asked using my puppy dog eyes.

"Oh, well, umm... Oh, how could I say no to those adorable puppy eyes" He remarked casually with a smile.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!" I squealed throwing my arms around him, "you're the best!" I sighed into his side, (he smelled like downy laundry detergent). He chuckled nervously and I realized I was probably making him uncomfortable with all my hugs and stuff so I quickly scooted away and grabbed my backpack. "Well you know it's my pleasure, I'm always ready to help a damsel in distress" he replied reaching up to rub the back of his neck shyly, and stood up to get the backpack I had tossed aside earlier.

"Wow who new you were such a gentleman" I said with a giggle.

"Why thank you m'lady" he said with a mock bow as he reached over to take my hand and kiss it jokingly. I laughed for a moment before I got a strong sense of dejavú, and my eyebrows furrowed, a frown making its way into my face. I quickly changed my facial expression before Spider-Man noticed and hesitantly continued the conversation.

"And they say chivalry is dead" I replied faking the giggle that came out my mouth, and instead paid close attention to Spider-Man's voice, and his next reply.

"Well here I am chivalrous as always" he said with a grin, before his grin was wiped from his face when he saw the look of realization on my face, and realized the massive mistake he just made.

"P-Peter?" I stuttered backing away a little bit from him.

"U-uh umm n-no?" He cleared his throat to deepen his voice.. "no, uh who's peter?" He replied frantically in his deeper voice.

"Okay now I know it's definitely you" I said standing up, and putting my hand on my hip.

"Awe crap.." he mumbled standing up to face me as he pulled his mask all the way off. I saw the rest of his flushed face and his floppy brown hair.

"Wow it really is you" I said taking a few steps towards him bringing my hand up to touch his face, as if I thought it was an illusion of some sort. "This explains so much" I laughed quietly.

"Yeah yeah, but you can't tell anyone that I'm Spider-Man, Niya" He said grabbing my hands and throwing me his adorable puppy dog eyes (not that he knew he did them).

"And why would I want to keep this a secret" I asked stepping away from him and circling him slyly.

"Uhh cause I'm one of your best friends?" He replied more like a question than a statement.

"Well yes but that's not good enough now is it?" I asked trying to hold back my giggles and keep the stern expression on my face. "I need something better"

"Are you b-blackmailing me?" He asked with a small stutter, as his eyes went wide with shock.

"Yes, yes I am. And here's my price, you come visit me every night and help with my homework... after you make your rounds of course" I said with a smile giggling.

"That's it?" He asked obviously expecting it to be steeper stakes.

"Yep that's it... oh wait.. one more thing..." I added, my face starting to flush slightly.

"Uh yes?" He asked warily.

"I want a date with midtown's cutest chemistry geek" I said my face flushing bright red.

"Oh um... who is that?" He asked a red blush creeping up his neck.

"It's you nitwit! I want a date with you!" I said exasperated, with how oblivious he was.

"Oh... OH! ME! Um.. yeah it would be my pleasure" he answered his face as read as a tomato. I held my hand out and he shook it, the deal was made. "Ok well I'll see you tomorrow..." he said starting to back away as I sat down... and pulled out my math notes.

"Uh... the deal starts tonight" I said with a smile as I held up my math notebook. While he blushed.

"Oh right" he laughed and sat down next to me.

-Fin-
