"Ned?!" A voice questions loudly, you roll over on your bed and look to the left of you. Peter looks between you and Ned in surprise, he stands beside Ned without a shirt on, only wearing Boxers. Seems he got caught for a second time, you sit up quickly, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, this is going to take a lot of explaining.

Ned looks at Peter in amazement, then at the suit laying on his feet. "Y-You're the Spider-Man guy from youtube." He says, looking up at Peter.

Peter scrambles to find an excuse, "I'm not!"

Ned shakes his head as he points up to the ceiling, "You were on the ceiling dude!" He murmurs, still amazed at what he saw.

"No I wasn't, tell him Y/N I'm not Spider-Man." Peter looks over at you, his eyes pleading for you to answer.

You sigh, and rub your forehead. "He's Spider-Man."

Peter gasps, "Really?!" Then he turns to Ned, "I'm not!"

"Wait, Y/N does that mean you have p-" He says, about to finish before the bedroom door opens. You watch as Peter quickly kicks his suit under the bed as Aunt May enters, swinging around a towel to get rid of the smoke.

"That Turkey Meatloaf recipe was a disaster," Aunt May says, taking out her hairpin. "Thai? Ned you want Thai?" She questions, ignoring the way Peter looks.

"Y-" He begins to say but gets cut off by Peter. "No! He has a thing-- to do." Peter interrupts, May looks over at him, wanting to ask him what before she decides otherwise.

"Uh, alright," She responds, closing the door to the room as she exits. Peter breathes a sigh of relief as he guides Ned to the bedroom door.

"Who all knows?" Ned questions, looking over at you just as he reaches the door.

"Only Y/N and Mr. Stark."

Ned gasps, "You know Tony Stark?! Are you an Avenger?" Ned asks quietly, realizing how loud he is.

Peter shakes his head reluctantly as he begins to speak, "Yeah.. but listen to me Ned! You can't tell anybody about this! I mean anybody, please Ned." You shake your head, just look at him, another person knowing his secret just how long until the entire world finds out.

Ned thinks for a moment, "Okay, okay I get it, but I'm gonna be level with you. I don't think I can keep this a secret. This is the craziest thing that's ever happened to me, Peter-"

Peter shakes his head, "Ned! I can't have Aunt May know, she already has enough to worry about and if she figures out I'm doing this she won't let me do it anymore!"

Ned nods,"Okay. Okay." He says, agreeing reluctantly.

"Thank you," Peter says, opening the bedroom door. "I'll tell you about the rest of it tomorrow." Ned begins to speak but Peter gently pushes him out of the room, he closes the door and slumps against it.

"Major help Y/N, major help." He says sarcastically. His back against the wall.

"Thanks, it's what I'm here for." You respond, beginning to slide out of bed for dinner.

Peter grabs a shirt from on top of his bed and slides it on as he begins to examine the room for a pair of pants. "Dude, listen you need to stop. If anyone else finds out that you're Spider-Man, and they don't like that you put their friends behind bars. They'll go after Aunt May and anyone else that you know." You exclaim, stretching your limbs.

Peter looks at you from behind as he shovels through a pile of clothes in the corner, "I know Y/N! I know! I don't need you to explain to me how to be a Sup-" He responds angrily, almost yelling. He shuts himself up after realizing how loud he is and continues to look through the clothes silently.

You reach under your bed and grab Peter's suit and throw it onto the chair next to the dark Oak desk. Sensing the rough mood of the room, you exit the bedroom and wait outside the door for him.

You wait for a moment as the door opens and he steps through, fully clothed. "Let's go eat man, we still have school tomorrow." You say, walking towards Aunt May who waits at the front door, her brown purse flipped around her left arm.

"You boys ready?" She questions, noticing the tense atmosphere between you and Peter.

"Yeah.. let's just eat." Peter responds solemnly, he's obviously affected by the conversation you had earlier with him, but you just want him to be safe. He is your brother after all.

30 Minutes Later..

The three of you sit at a table inside the corner of Tallen's Thai, a restaurant situated on the corner of the street. Both you and Peter pick at your food in a disinterested manner. "What's the matter?" Aunt May questions, looking between the two of you. "I thought you both loved Larb." She adds, looking down at the two filled plates in front of her with a sad expression.

"Is it not Larby enough?" She asks, neither of you respond again, both situated in your own thoughts. "How many times -- " She begins to say, "Do I have to say Larb before you respond to me?" She questions, laughing nervously. "You know I larb you two." She adds, smiling.

Peter shakes his head, "You know, we're just arguing and stuff, plus the Stark Internship is stressful." He says, looking up at her; glossy eyed.

"Yeah, I bet." You respond, looking at him from the corner of your eye.

"I have to tell you --" Aunt May says, sticking a piece of Thai into her mouth with the chopsticks. "Not a fan of that Tony Stark. He's got you distracted all the time, always in your head." She adds, looking up at Peter, he stares at her in response, not offering a word of disagreement.

"Today, an ATM robbery was foiled by New York's own Vigilante Spider-Man, during the robbery, a powerful blast was sent through the bank, slicing into the Bodega across the street. Luckily, no one was harmed." The TV announcer says, Aunt May looks over at Peter and you in concern.

She sighs as she speaks, "Listen boys, if you ever see something like that, run away. Don't try to be heroic, that isn't our job." She finishes and eats another bite of Thai. You and Peter trade awkward glances.

"Yeah, of course," You say, looking over at Aunt May. She nods in satisfaction, eating another bite of her food.

Peter coughs, "I need a new backpack." He mumbles, you sigh and shake your head, already knowing what May's about to say.

"That's Five." She responds, looking at Peter disapprovingly.

"I-I know." He murmurs,

You shake your head, you should be doing this but he is your brother after all. "He can have my old one," You say, finally taking a bite of your cold Thai with your fork.

"There you go Peter." She responds, smiling. A man appears on the side to the table with a plate. On it is a chocolate pudding type thing. He sits it down on the table with a quirky smile.

"Uh, we didn't order that." Aunt May says nervously.

He smiles brightly, "On the house." He responds with a slightly Asian accent.

"Oh, uh, thank you." Aunt May says, smiling innocently.

He walks away, glancing one last time at the three of you before going into the back of the restaurant.

"I think he Larbs you." Peter says, smiling slightly.

You laugh, Aunt May does as well, Peter shakes his head as he grins, trying to stop himself from laughing as well.

Today, you have gym, one of the only times you get to see Peter and Ned. Other than Lunch, you didn't even realize that specials change everyday.

You sit next to Peter and Ned as the P.E Teacher plays a video of Captain America explaining the basics of what your P.E class will hold. MJ sits on the bottom row to the right, avoiding as much human contact as possible.

"Didn't they already show you guys this video?" You question the two of them, Peter nods as he begins to respond. "Yeah, but we watch it everytime we're about to do a fitness test."

Ned looks over at Peter. "Did you fight him too?" He questions, nodding to Captain America on the small T.V in front of the bleachers.

Peter nods and smiles, proud of himself. "Yeah, I stole his shield."

"Badass." Ned responds, looking at the video with a slight bit more interest now.

You shake your head, "Seems stupid." You murmur under your breath.

○○○

You didn't expect MJ to ask you to help with her fitness test but, since Peter and Ned were already taken and you work in groups of two, you didn't have any choices at all.

"So? Your brother and Ned are pretty close huh?" MJ says, holding your shoes still as you begin your sit ups for the Fitness test.

You sigh, "Yeah, sometimes it's annoying though, but I'm glad he has someone he's friends with." You respond, finishing another sit-up.

MJ smiles slightly, "That's nice of you, why'd you join this late into the year anyways?" She questions, glancing over at the other female sophomores sitting on the bleachers.

"Well, I got into a f-" You begin to say but something interrupts you.

"Peter and Y/N know Spider-Man!" Ned exclaims, everyone stops what they're doing and looks between Ned, Peter and you.

"No, I don't." You claim, stopping your sit-ups. Everyone turns their attention to the now flabbergasted Peter.

"I- I do, I mean, I've met him a few times-- through the Stark Internship." Peter responds, looking between Liz and Ned awkwardly.

Flash gets up from doing his Sit-Ups and approaches Peter and Ned. "Oh really? Why don't you invite him him to Liz's party tonight?" Flash questions, looking over at an embarrassed Liz.

"I- I'm having a party tonight yeah, you're more than welcome to come tonight." Liz says, flustered, obviously not planning on telling Peter. A frown appears on her face,

Flash shakes his head smiling slightly, you don't like the way this is going to go.

You stand up from the Gym floor and begin to approach Flash, leaving MJ behind to watch the situation with interested eyes.

"Yeah, invite your friend Spi-" He begins to say but you cut him off.

You sigh and shake your head in a disappointed way. "Come on Flash, don't be an ass man. Mind your own business." You say to him, he turns his head to look at you on his left.

He looks at you surprised for a moment, "Wha-" He responds, obviously never been talked back to.

"You heard me man. Is it really worth it? To bully someone who isn't interested in fighting back?" You question sarcastically.

He begins to respond but the class bell rings, signaling the end of class. Ned and Peter approach you through the crowd of kids exiting the gym.

"Ned! Why would you do that! You're supposed to keep it a secret." Peter exclaims as the two finally reach you.

"Im sorry but, Y/N! That was amazing man, sticking up for the small guys." Ned says, raising his clenched fist into the air.

"You guys are my friends, come on man, I'm not that low." You respond grinning.

"Y/N.. listen man, I know you don't like me doing anything related to Spider-Man but please, please, once can you just help me." Peter pleads, looking into your eyes desperately.

"Can you help me?" He questions, is he asking you to wear his suit to date Liz?

"There's a missing word there." You respond, gazing at him with disrespect in your tone.

"Please?" Peter asks, unsure if that's the word. You nod once, as long as you have his suit on he can't be fighting any crime right?

After that, the three of you quickly exit the gym class and head off to your own classes. Wanting this awkward day to end soon as possible.

○○○

Aunt May pulls the car over in front of Liz's house, the suit underneath your shirt pulls and tugs at your skin. It's a weird feeling, it's like when you get new clothes for Christmas and you try them on for the first time.

You touch your right pocket, where the mask rests seated deep into your pants pocket, barely weighing it down at all.

"House party in the suburbs? I remember these. Kind of jealous." Aunt May says, smiling, she turns around to look at the three of you seated in the back of her car.

You gaze forward absentmindedly, feeling the butterflys in your stomach to your very core. The entire street is lined up with cars, most expensive then there's some average ones, something you'd see on the streets regularly.

Aunt May looks at Ned, wearing a black fedora along with a dark black suit. Almost like he doesn't want to be recognized or looked at.

"Ned.. some hats wear Men, but you wear that hat." Aunt May says, grinning enthusiastically.

Ned smiles back, "Thanks, it gives me confidence.."

"Y/N." Aunt May turns towards you, noticing how nervous you are. "It's alright, don't be scared, your brother is gonna be there with you." She says, turning to look at Peter.

He looks over at you smiling genuinely, "Of course, you ready Y/N?" He asks, waiting patiently for your answer.

"Yeah.." You respond, Peter opens the car doors and allows the cool breeze inside. He steps outside, allowing you to get out. Ned opens the door on the left side and slides out of it. He closes the door behind him as he approaches the two of you from behind the car.

"Have fun boys!" Aunt May yells out to the two of you as Peter closes the car door. She drives off as Ned waves goodbye.

The three of you walk up the sidewalk and up onto the pathway leading to the front door of Liz's house. People line all around the yard, holding cups of liquids as they talk to each other.

"You have the suit right?" Ned questions, you pull up your sleeve revealing the red and blue colored suit underneath your black long sleeved shirt.

"This is going to be awesome." Ned exclaims, as you reach the front door.

You and Peter gulp as you open the door and step inside, the music is louder inside as it plays a loud song that you don't know the name of. Standing behind the DJ booth is Flash, messing with the buttons lining its many panels.

"Alright.. Y/N listen, we're gonna have you swing in. Give us a fistbump and one of those half-hugs you always give." Peter says, you sigh loudly. You shouldn't have even come here.

"Can't believe you guys are at this lame better," A girl says from the right of you, you know the voice too well. MJ stands to the right of you eating a piece of bread with Peanut Butter on it. You stand beside Peter awkwardly as they speak to MJ. you've never actually been to a party before, other than your own but there was only one to ten people there each year.

"But you're at it too." Ned says to her,

"Am I?" She asks mysteriously, walking away.

You don't get a chance to say anything before someone approaches the three of you. "Hey guys," Liz says, holding a red plastic cup filled with juice or some other liquid.

"Hi, Liz." Peter responds.

"Nice hat Ned!" She adds, looking over at Ned's fancy black fedora.

"Thanks." He says smugly.

She smiles again, "So, there's Pizza, juice and stuff. Help yourself." She adds, looking to her left where the kitchen resides with multiple boxed pizza's sitting on it.

"Thank you." Peter says, "It's a really nice party.." He adds, Liz looks away nervously, smiling slightly.

"Th-" She begins to say but a loud cracking echoes from her left. "Sorry but I can't let anything break, I'll see you guys later?" She questions, Peter nods absent-mindedly. He seems to have a problem with that, if it wasn't for that Ned wouldn't even know he's Spider-Man.

She walks away towards the Kitchen, Ned turns towards you quickly. "She's here man. Spider it up," He says, you sigh and exit back through the front door.

This is crazy.

You actually shouldn't be doing this.

It's for your brother. You repeat to yourself as you circle around to the newly paved alley behind the house.

You take the mask out of your hands and begin to undress. You can feel your heart beating in your throat, you sigh loudly, wishing you already declined your brother's offer.

But something catches your eyes as you finish undressing into your Spider-Man outfit, you slide your clothes and shoes behind a trash can as a purple glow emanates over the green leaves trees
