Intro
Spiderman was clinging to the looming brick wall of an apartment building in Manhattan. Red mask halfway up his face, he was typing away on his phone, waiting for the next thing to go wrong on the streets below.
The wind blew by idly, crisp and unbothered. Birds made their regular sounds, a small, dark pigeon landing on the fire escape a few feet over from Peter. The traffic was as loud as always.
Peter scrolled through his phone, thumbing idly through old photos before pausing his finger over one. A Christmas party a couple of months back, him and Guest grinning at each other like two teenagers in love while Ned took a selfie.
Peter thought to himself about the breakup. At first it was a fight over never talking anymore, which turned into an argument over barely seeing each other, and then Guest found Peter's mask tucked under his bed when he'd grabbed his dropped phone. They both got into it pretty rough and decided to spend time apart for a while.
Peter scrolled through his seven contacts, opened Guest's, and typed a short message. Again. The fourth message he'd sent since he first went on patrol this morning.
Hey! I know you probably don't wanna talk, but I'm here if you do! sent 8:13 a.m. I think you missed my text earlier. 😅 Let me know how you're doing! Thanks! sent 8:36 a.m. Hey, Guest.. if you get a chance, let me know if you're doing alright. Talk soon? sent 8:41 a.m.
Just saw some weirdly fat rat steal someone's pizza. Anyways, text me back whenever. sent now
Peter looks at his phone for a long moment after. He knew this was probably pathetic, but he couldn't help missing Guest. What else was he supposed to do?
Shit...
He debated sneaking over to Guest's apartment–he knew he was lunch break, and Guest always went home for that–and deleting the messages before they could be seen. No, that's even more pathetic.. Maybe move somewhere and change his name? No, that's probably worse.
