Ok it's official, I am now adding Marvel's Spider-man (because I am in love with the show despite all the haters), OK K.O (same as Marvel's Spider-man) and No Game No Life (because it's hilarious and awesome and I love it) to my one shots list. So that's some good news.
(T/N)- Teacher's name
"I'm telling you (Y/N), it's like Pete hasn't even gotten the time for me anymore" Harry tells you over the phone. "He appears one minute and is gone the next. Do you think he's hanging out with someone else?"
"I don't think so, he's the same at Horizon High too. So it's not just you. He could've picked up a job or something with a strict boss" I answer.
"Maybe" Harry sighs.
"Look don't worry, Pete might just be overwhelmed right now. It's not easy to adjust to the Horizon High lifestyle, I should know."
"Yeah, you did move across the country to attend Horizon High" Harry agrees. It was true, you were all the way from California. You had a dorm in Horizon High so it made it slightly easier to pull all nighters. Though Max would often advise you against it because it wasn't good for the human brain.
"So? Anything exciting happen since we last met up?" You ask over the phone.
"Uh, no not really what about you?"
"Oh Miles and I are working on a collaborative project, it's gonna be one of the coolest inventions ever" You answer.
"Yeah, sounds great" he answers with fake enthusiasm."Look I gotta go, talk to you later?"
"Yea, see ya" you reply with a hint of sadness in your voice. You look at your phone and saw Harry hung up.
"Peter isn't the only one who keeps disappearing" you mutter sadly, looking at your phone contact of Harry. It was a selfie with you and him, you wished you could go back to the good old days when you two were both in the same school and your friendship didn't matter....or maybe...something more... You were so happy when Harry got accepted into Horizon High again, you thought it was the end of the rivalry, but when Harry said that he was staying at Os. Academy you were heart broken. But that was after Aleksei turned into the Rhino. You didn't come out of your lab for three days and refused to talk to anyone. Instead you dove into your research and did nothing but work. Distracting yourself from the pain of losing Harry again. It wasn't until Spider-man showed up and explained to you how it wasn't the way to deal with things. When you began showing up to classes, Anya was mad at you for missing work, but at the same time worried about your emotional state. Everyone was, you did kinda lock yourself in your room for three days. But apparently Harry didn't get that memo, and your conversations were always over the phone. Two minutes at least, five if you were lucky, and Harry was always the one to end them. He kept saying you guys should meet face to face again but you didn't see how that was possible, you didn't think you could hold yourself together long enough before bawling your eyes out in front of your childhood best friend and secret crush (Well not so secret to your friends but you made them swear to secrecy). You got a notification on the computer. It was Miles trying to video chat with you. You sat down and accepted the call.
"Hey Miles, what's up?" You ask.
"Hey (Y/N) did you finish the project in (T/N)'s class?"
"I just got to fix a few bugs but I've been working on it for hours, so...sort of" you answer, looking back on your project. It was a collar that can do scans on an animal's body and determine if there are any issues early on and what the correct course of action is, as well as alerting their owner when their pet gets fleas and ticks and how many. It also tells them when the fleas and ticks are gone.
"Ok cool, do you wanna come over and work on Project First Responders?" He asks.
"Sure thing! I'll be there in two!" You hung up. Project First Responders was an idea you and Miles came up with. Since there were so many super-powered bad guys you guys were developing tech suited for each category of first responders. For example you guys are working on gloves that can take water from the air and convert it into a spray to put out fires, as well as allowing them to control wood and other types of material common for houses. You guys were close to finishing those before moving onto the Police force. Which had a force-field ability and downloaded fighting techniques that a police officer could use. Paramedics would have the ability to locate foreign objects in the body and find the best and fastest course, while also having the ability to heal skin tissue faster than usual. You knocked on Miles's lab door and he opened it. You guys began working on finishing the Fire Fighter gloves. It was around 3 p.m when you guys decided to go get a quick bite.
"So where do you wanna eat (Y/N)?" Miles asks, giving you a smile.
"I don't know, I usually just order from Subway, Burger King, a random pizza place or a random Chinese Takeout place" you answer, shrugging your shoulders.
"Well there's this cafe Pete told me about, why don't we go check it out?" He suggests.
"Sure, why not?" You shrug.
-Timeskip-
You guys got to the cafe, Miles ordered like 3 sweets and a blueberry muffin and you, being the healthy person you are. Ordered some tea and a sandwich.
"Dude, really?" You ask, gesturing to his food that he was currently stuffing his face with.
"Yes" he answers before diving back into his food, you just sipped your tea and began thinking on some improvements for your pet collar.
"So, what's your project? If I may ask?" Miles asks.
"It's an A plus project" you answer.
"Really"
"Yup" you answer taking a bite of your sandwich.
"Hey (Y/N), hey Miles" Peter greets.
"Hey Pete, what're you doing here?" Miles asks.
"Grabbing some lunch with my best friend of course" he answers, slinging his arm around....Harry! You pretended not to care.
"Uh, can we sit here?" Harry asks with a nervous smile.
"Sure, go ahead" Miles answers. Harry sat next to you and Peter sat next to Miles. You obviously weren't happy and tried your best to keep your emotions in. You guys basically talked and you got a glimpse of the time.
"Oh! Gotta go! I guess I'll see you guys later then!" You said, already out the door. You walked to Horizon High, allowing yourself to relax for the first time in around an hour.
"Hey! (Y/N)! Wait up!" It was Harry.
"Oh, hey Harry, what're you doing here?" You ask him.
"I was going to head over to Os. Academy, but I figured I should walk you to Horizon High. After all New York is dangerous, whether it's during the night or day" he answers.
"I can take care of myself Harry, but thank you anyways" you just wanted to get out of there before you started crying.
"Uh, no, I insist. Please (Y/N)?" You sighed, knowing Harry was too stubborn.
"Fine" you sighed, praying you could keep it together long enough until you got to Horizon High.
"It's been awhile since we've seen each other face-to-face huh?" Harry asks thoughtfully.
"Y-yeah I guess the last time we saw each other was...."
"Horizon High's dance" you guys say at the same time. Startled you looked at Harry in surprise.
"What?" He asks you jokingly.
"Nothing" you answer. Harry and you met at a sleepaway summer camp that lasted the whole summer when you guys were only eleven years old. You guys kept in touch ever since and every summer he would fly over to your house where you two would do all kinds of childish stuff.
"C'mon you can tell me"
"Uh, no I'm good-" you heard a wolf-whistle as a group of guys came up to you two. In the lead was Flash Thompson, who you recognized from Tony Stark's tech-con event (I don't remember what it was called please bare with me here).
"Hey hot stuff, you wanna come with me and ditch this loser?" Flash asks, Harry's face became angry.
"She doesn't want to go with you! So leave her alone!" Harry shouts at them as the guys surrounded the two of you.
"I'm sorry? Did I ask you? No I didn't. Come on doll face who's it gonna be? Me or that nerd?" You didn't see it but Harry tried to punch one of the guys, which only ended up with him getting a punch in the face. Which meant a black eye and a cut on the cheek.
"No thank you, we have to get going"
"Seriously? Your choosing that pathetic loser over me?" He asks in disbelief. Harry's face fell, it was true in Harry's eyes.
"Yes I am" you answer determinedly. You were so ready to attack this guy, but you were a nice person.
"What? Are you his girlfriend or something?" Flash asks.
"N-"
"Yes, she is, now leave us alone Flash" you felt yourself leaving Flash's arms (thank god) and into Harry's as you two walked off. Leaving behind the astounded jocks. His hand went to your waist as he pulled you closer to him. You were a blushing mess, remembering what happened a few seconds ago.
"So, I guess we're here" Harry points out, pulling you from your thoughts. True to his word you guys made it to Horizon High. You saw the cut on his cheek.
"Harry! Why didn't you tell me you were hurt!" You began rummaging through your backpack, finally finding a bandaid as Harry told you he was fine. You grabbed the bandaid.
"Harry let me see!"
"But (Y/N)-"
"Let me see!" You huffed, he sighed.
"Fine" he showed you his cheek and you put the bandaid on. He looked at you and you looked back at him. It was like time stopped between the two of you.
"I uh, I should get inside" you say nervously.
"Y-yeah, I guess I'll see you later then"
"Yeah, see ya" you waved as you walked up the stairs. Harry watched you go before walking back to Os. Academy.
-Timeskip-
"Gabby!" Anya snapped you out of your thoughts.
"Huh? What?" You ask, truly confused.
"I was going to ask you to run some more tests on the V2-52"
"Hey are you ok (Y/N)? You seem to be spacing out more than usual" Gwen observes.
"Yeah, you've been doing this ever since- ow! Pete!" Miles complains when Peter elbows him in the ribs.
"Ever since what? Peter?" Gwen questions.
"Uh...Harry might've came with me to eat lunch where Miles and (Y/N) were having lunch. And Harry may or may not have left to walk (Y/N) to Horizon High" Peter answers nervously.
"Are you crazy!" Anya bonked him over the head.
"Well before I could divert him away he saw (Y/N) and wanted to talk to her, I couldn't say no to him, he's my best friend" Peter answers.
"So does Harry have something to do with why your acting so spaced out lately?" Gwen asks, giving you a look of 'don't you dare lie to me or else'.
"Yes" you sigh.
"Ok, do you wanna tell us what happened?" Gwen asks "it could help you." You sighed again.
"Harry walked me to Horizon High, and on our way we, uh ran into Flash and his friends. Flash tried to flirt with me and Harry claimed to be my boyfriend before walking off with me. And outside Horizon...I think...maybe we had a moment. Or was it just me? And he said he was my boyfriend, but I can't tell if he really meant it or not. Ugh! This is so confusing!" You buried your head in your arms. "W-what if...what if he only sees us as friends and nothing more?"
"Aww, come here (Y/N)" Anya (which was so un-Anya like) hugged you as you let your emotions out in the form of tears and sniffles.
"Oh I have an idea!" Peter exclaims.
"What is it?" Miles asks. Peter whispered it into Miles's ear, he nodded.
"Oh that's good"
"What did you tell him?" Gwen asks.
"Uh (Y/N), can you leave the room for two minutes?" Peter asks you, with the classic Parker grin.
"Um, ok" you answer nervously. Wondering what the hell your friends were up to. You stood outside uncomfortably, waiting for admittance back into the research lab.
"Come on in (Y/N)" Gwen grins.
-Timeskip-
Your friends have been acting strangely for a little over a week, just what were they planning? Miles called you again.
"Hey (Y/N), do you know why Pete took off in a rush?"
"No, I haven't seen him all day" you answer.
"Oh, well I think I heard him say something about meeting him in the park tonight at seven. Gotta go" and he hung up. Strangest phone call ever you thought. Only getting a text from Peter saying the same thing but there was an extra part.
Dress your best!
"Um, ok, that's weird" you comment. But you put it to the side.
-Timeskip-
You wore your best outfit as you walked to the nearby park. Only to see Harry dressed in a suit waiting outside as well.
"Hey" he greeted you.
"Hey" you respond.
"Peter told you to meet him here too huh?" Harry asks.
"Yes he did" you two turned around and saw Spider-man in a tux.
"Spider-man!"
"Yes, this way please" he turned around and you followed him. Harry begrudgingly doing the same thing. He led you two to a table that was obviously for two and garden lights strung across the trees. Anya and Miles were there in waiter/ress outfits.
"Uh, what's this?" Harry asks.
"Why your own table for two of course, now come over here and sit down" Miles answers.
"Uh, thank you?" You and Harry sat down.
"We'll give you two time to decide on your order" Anya smirks before walking away and disappearing into the woods.
"I have a feeling Peter didn't want to talk with us" Harry says.
"Ditto" you respond, opening the menu. There were five items for everything and you knew for sure it was either your favorite food or Harry's. I can't believe my friends set this up
"That's the dress you wore at the dance" Harry observes.
"Y-yeah, it's been awhile since I wore it huh?" You ask.
"It looks good on you" he comments. You just blushed and looked at the menu.
"T-thanks" you stutter.
"Hey there! I'm just going to fill your waters so don't mind me" Miles says. Filling up the two glasses.
"Anya will be with you in a few minutes" he tells you before leaving.
-Timeskip-
Anya took your orders and Spider-man delivered them Spidey-style. Which you thought was cute of him. You guys ate in silence, before you decided you might as well take the opportunity to talk to your best friend.
"So" you guys say at the same time.
"You go first" again, you both said it simultaneously.
"No you!" Harry and you both laughed .
"What did you wanna ask me (Y/N)?" Harry asks.
"Well, I um, wanted to know how your life is going...uh outside the lab" you answer.
"It's about as good as it could get" he answers, "but there is one thing that could make it better" he reached for your non-dominant hand and held it gently in his. You were absolutely in shock, but then snapped to your senses.
"U-uh what is that?" You stutter.
"You of course!" Harry tells you like it was the most obvious thing ever. He smiled and squeezed your hand lightly. "Uh, look (Y/N), I know I'm not the most fit nor am I the coolest or most slick person ever. But despite all of that I hope that you'll still accept me and my uh love for you." He confesses nervously.
"H-harry, nothing would make me happier!" You smile, tears of happiness pricking the corner of your eyes. You finally had your Harry back.
-Timeskip-
Harry and you walked out of the park. You were leaning on him and he had his arm slung around you, keeping you close.
"Harry?" You ask him.
"Hm?" He hums in response.
"I love you"
"I love you too" he placed a gentle kiss on your forehead.
"Don't leave me ever, ok?" Harry asks you.
"Never, I promise" you reassure him. He held on tighter to you as you guys made small talk on his way to drop you off at your dorm.
Nothing could ever be more perfect. You had to thank your friends, and Spider-man later.
-Extended Ending-
"Eeee! They're such a cute couple!" Gwen squeals happily.
"I'm glad we made (Y/N) so happy" Miles comments.
"Well as long as (Y/N) still does all her school work on time I'm fine with it" Anya huffed, secretly happy for you two.
"There's no better feeling than setting up two friends am I right?" Spider-man asks, the group just stared at him. "Uh, I got some heroing to do so, uh yeah. See you later" he swung off on his webs.
So yeah, this took me awhile but I finally did it! Now! Time to work on that Encounters chapter I've been putting off...hehe...he
