✔️ Tom Holland Imagines

My Best Friend's Wedding

''You know... if you're trying to recreate a spider's web you're going about it the wrong way...'' His ears perked which cause him to finally look you in the eye. He had spent hours perfecting it, how in hell could you know about it? He had assumed you were new as for starters, he had never seen you before and two, no one ever interrupts Flash's midday's show, everyone knew that.

''H-how do you-... webbing? Why would I-i be trying to recreate that?'' First thing you learnt about Peter, he was a terrible liar.

And that dearest was only just the beginning to what would soon grown into an almost 10 year friendship. Going through all of high school together, along with MJ and Ned, graduating then drifting apart for college. You all tried to keep in contact with each other the first few months but soon it turned into yearly catch-ups, something you all swore would never happen. Ned had learnt about Peter's alter ego, soon followed by you then MJ a year later. Ned and MJ had an on again off again relationship all throughout college which drove you and Peter around the twist. One minute you'd all be organising to catch up over thanksgiving break, then they would be on the outs the third time that year, both claiming they couldn't stand to be in the same room as each other. We all knew that was a lie because only a few weeks later, they would be in each other's arms, proclaiming their love and how they were it for each other.

You supposed it was sweet and endearing, having someone for the rest of your life. But you knew better, that it didn't exist. There was no 'the one'. There wasn't someone who was going to be loyal to you forever, father your kids and bring home flowers spontaneously, kissing your cheek as you baked cookies for your children, laughter filling the warm kitchen air. Or going on vacations to Disneyland and watching your children graduate college together as you both were settling into the retirement lifestyle. There was simply here and now, and that was working.

Up until this very moment, this very phone call which happened at approximately 9:46pm on a Monday evening. Just 3 weeks shy of your 27th birthday. You had finished a long hard day editing the final touches on your project before closing your home computer, enjoying the working from home lifestyle due to the pandemic. 

''Bunny... you're still there?'' Bunny. You hadn't heard him call you that in years. Given, the last time the both of you spoke was almost a year ago, a lot can change in 12 months apparently, like getting married. Throughout college you two were always the closest, MJ and Ned giving you crap on how you both were secretly dating but wouldn't become public because you didn't believe in the concept of a 'boyfriend' and Peter's alter ego as Spider-man which could place you in danger. Had you tried? Yes, only the once and it was with the very man that was currently warming and shattering your heart over the phone.

Through your third year of college you and Peter had tried dating, seeing if there anything more than a friendship and there was. Unfortunately, it only took a month for that to turn upside down. For lack of words, Peter had confessed he loved you and you grown scared, commitment wasn't something you grew up around, your own parents divorcing before you were 5 and making new families. You'd had soon learnt they both divorced again not too long ago, deciding to move back in with each other to save money so they could travel during their retirement. Every Christmas was awkward, especially the one just past, the first one altogether in over 20 years. You didn't want that, to marry someone you love only for it to be all over within a handful of years. Especially given the detriment it has on the kids involved... you were never placing your kids through that kind of pain.

''Y-yeah I'm here... sorry I just... -sniffle-... I couldn't be more happy for you Peter'' It wasn't a lie. You wanted the world for him, your younger self wanted to be that world but it just wasn't meant to be. Blonde hair and sun kissed skin flowed through your mind, knowing that was Peter's type not long after your breakup. 

''You have no idea how much that means to me... I'm sorry it's been so long since our last call'' The sincerity flowed right through you. 

''It's okay, we've both been pretty busy and given the travel restrictions, couldn't really see each other in person'' Thank god that has eased up so you could travel now, but that only came in place a couple of weeks ago. Peter was on the other side of the country, currently a second hand to the most brilliant scientist on the northern hemisphere. You knew he always wanted to venture out on his own though, incorporate science with his abilities to make something magical. However, life just didn't go that way.

''Well pack your bags, your plane leaves at 7am'' Your eyes widen. Plane?

''W-what? Peter... I have work I can't just... drop everything'' You could, you were always head with your work but still.

''Come on! it's my wedding, you have to be there... I don't know what I would o if you weren't here by my side...'' Wedding? Wait...

''When are you getting married?'' Ignoring the little skip of your heart at his previously whispered words.

''This Sunday...''
