"You should have ignored them, you know."

Tom flicks his head up to the sight of Lani leaning in the open doorway of his room. She was fiddling with the edge of her pajama shorts, a troubled expression on her face. Tom, who had been laying on his bed going through social media on his phone, sat up and wrapped his arms around his knees. He heaved a sigh and looked quizzically at Lani.

"I think ignoring them would have been just as bad as saying those words - which I know for a fact are lies - myself."

He awaited a response from Lani, her lack of one adding to the pregnant pause. He couldn't discern the emotions she was emitting and he feared it might have been the wrong thing to say.

"That's the most Peter Parker thing you've ever said."

"That's a compliment, right?" He asked Lani.

She gave a small nod in reply and timidly grinned afterward.

Tom smiled brightly in return. "Good to know that Marvel picked the right guy to play him."

"Actual Peter Parker, Tom Holland." Lani chuckled. "Thanks, though. For the stuff that happened on twitter."

"I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man looking out for everyone I care about."

"Am I talking to Peter or Tom right now?"

He pretends to be deep in thought for a moment. "You're talking to Tom. Definitely Tom."

"You're good. In all aspects of the word - you're good, Tommy."

"Thanks," He says bashfully. "You, too. You're great."

Lani blushes and averts her eyes to the floor.

Tom narrows his eyes at the use of his nickname typically used by his family and a couple of friends. "Wait, Tommy?"

"I overheard you and Harrison earlier. It has a certain ring to it, don't you think so?"

"No, I don't think so. And I told him to stop calling me that."

"I won't ever stop calling you Tommy," Harrison says as he walks by the room and down the hall. Lani giggles at his impeccable timing.

"Now I won't, either," She jokes.

Harrison walks back up to the doorway next to Lani. "Do you guys want to eat breakfast together in downtown tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'm always up for food," Lani says.

"Me, too. I'm down," Tom adds.

"Great! And it's already been established that I love food, so that's that," Harrison concludes.
All three share a laugh in the quiet of the house.

Unbeknownst to Tom and Lani, Harrison overheard their entire conversation from down the hall. The two were basically flirting with each other but were too blind to see it. Maybe spending time together tomorrow would make them realize they had feelings for each other.

Maybe.
