"MJ." Soft and serious. Like they're at AcaDec practice, and Liz is telling Michelle not to hold back against their competitors. "Don't be the unreliable one in this relationship. You owe him the truth.”

"It's not that easy.”

Liz shakes her head. "That doesn't matter.”

"Why?”

"Because the longer you wait to tell him, the more it'll hurt Peter.”

Michelle nods. Squeezes her eyes shut. "I know," she whispers. "It's just— complicated.”

"You're complicating it more than you need to. MJ, if there's one thing hanging with Peter taught me, is that it sucks to have your heart broken by someone you trust. Don't treat him the way he treated me. Be honest.”

"I'll try."

Liz rolls her eyes, falling back into Michelle's bed. "You better," she says.

"MJ lifts his arms, fingers curling around his tricep, and Peter goes absolutely still. "Have you been working out?" Her voice is quiet; a whisper meant only for him." Or, Peter has a crush on MJ, and MJ knows that Peter works out.

Michelle can feel him moving upstairs. The slight tension in his leg, a stretch of his abdomen. How has she never suspected before? He's always been right there — sitting two seats to her left in class, grinning at Michelle when she stops at her locker, whispering into her ear on the bus, holding her hand when he doesn't need to.

They're soulmates, Michelle thinks, and she tests the word on her lips, mouthing it into the darkness. They've always been soulmates.

The truth is, Michelle is scared:

Scared for her soulmate, whose head-splitting headache didn't disappear till soon after the tournament. Scared for her friends, currently stuck halfway up a tower that she doesn't have access to. Scared that Spider-Man won't make it to them in time.

That she'll be all alone on the bus back.

With no Coach Harrington. No Liz. No Cindy.

She tries to swallow the lump in her throat. Tries to remind herself that Spider-Man is a superhero. That he will save her friends.

(That he has to.)

She listens to Peter go on about his favourite sandwich place and rolls her eyes at his Star Wars references and pretends like the fact that he's walking her home even though he lives at the other end of town isn't special.

(Because, really, it isn't.)

(And, anyway, Peter had Liz and has a soulmate and Michelle has Spider-Man. The butterflies in her stomach honestly don't mean a thing.)

(Or, maybe they do.)
