BENEFITS — CHAPTER EIGHTEEN!

the whole time he was on patrol. All he could think about was girls and it annoyed him.

He was still confused/annoyed about Harry and [Y/N] hanging out. Where had that even come from?

Then there was the whole Liz thing. Michelle couldn't possibly be telling the truth. What did a girl like Liz Allen see in someone like Peter Parker?

Slowly, he crawled into his bedroom window. He tried his best not to make a single sound. Plopping down onto the floor, Peter pushed the door shut and turned to face his bed.

His eyes widened when he saw Ned sitting there. The LEGO Deathstar slipped from his grasp. "What was that?" His aunt called.

"Errr N—nothing!"

"I had fun." [Y/N] said, smiling at Harry. He stood two steps below her on her front porch.

Both their faces were slightly red from the cool night air. "So did I."

"We'll have to do it again?" [Y/N] suggested, stepping down so their eyes were on the same level.

"Definitely," Harry said, his eyes analysing every aspect of her face. He didn't want to forget this moment anytime soon.

She held his gaze before staring down at his lips, he stared at hers. Would it be so wrong if I kissed her right now? Harry asked himself as their faces inched closer.

Without even realising it, [Y/N]'s lips were pressed up against Harry's. She felt him smile against her lips as he pulled her closer. His hands went around her waist as hers went around his neck.

Her hands played with the hairs on the back of his neck causing him to shiver. Eventually, they broke apart.

"T—that was nice." Harry squeaked, out of breath.

[Y/N] nodded, taking a step backwards. "I'll see you, yeah?"

She waved at him, shooting one last smile in his direction before walking inside.

Why did that feel so right yet so wrong?

"—but do you ever feel the urge to eat a fly?" [Y/N] heard Ned ask as she approached them.

"Dude what — that's just gross!"

[Y/N] scrunched her nose up, "the hell are you guys on about?"

Peter froze. Slowly he turned around to face her, the fakest smile ever was plastered across his face. "Uh, nothing important. How are you? How was your night? Do anything exciting? I didn't but what about you?"

[Y/N] couldn't help but laugh at his rambling. "No, not really. Just went on a date with Harry."

"Yeah, about that — since when?" Ned asked, slinging an arm around her shoulder.

[Y/N] shrugged, slipping Neds arm off her, "I don't know. Guess we started talking over the summer and yeah..."

"How serious are you guys?"

"I don't know, we've kissed and that's about it. Since when were you interested in my love life?" [Y/N] asked, quirking her brow at Ned.

Ned threw his hands in the air, "is it a crime to ask about my friends love life?"

"Yes, definitely."

They were in there final class, gym. Ned was holding Peters feet as he did pushups. "—I could be your guy in the chair."

"No— Ned, I don't need a guy in the chair. Shut up."

"Lookin' good Parker." Coach Wilson says as he passes them. Peter groans before slowing his sit-ups down and trying to look pained.

"Well, for me it would be F Thor, marry Iron Man and kill Hulk," Betty said to Liz and Charles as they sat on the bleachers.

"What about Spider-Man?" Liz asked, her head rested in her hands as she stared into the distance dreamily. Peter and Ned both exchanged glances at the mention of Peters alter ego. They stopped doing their exercise to listen into their conversation.

"It's just Spider-Man," Charles shrugged.

"Did you guys see that video on YouTube?" Liz asked, "he fought off like four guys."

Betty and Charles stared at her with wide eyes, "oh my god, she's crushing on Spider-Man."

"No way," Charles says, leaning in closer.

Liz stared at her shoes and blushed, "kind of."

"Ugh gross, he's probably like thirty," Betty said, cringed.

"You don't even know what he looks like. Like, what if he's, like, seriously burned?" Charles added.

Liz shrugged, "I wouldn't care. I would still love him for the person he is on the inside."

Without missing a beat, Ned shouted, "Peter knows Spider-Man!" At the top of his lungs. All the students near stopped to stare.

Liz's eyes widened as Peter quickly jumped out of his spot. [Y/N] was watching the exchange from her spot next to Michelle across the gym. Why hadn't Peter ever mentioned that to her before?

"No, I don't. No. I... I mean..." Peter stumbled over his words.

"They're friends." Ned said, earning a glare from Peter.

Flash, who'd just been climbing a rope laughed, "yeah, like Coach Wilson and Captain America are actually friends."

From next to her, [Y/N] heard Harry laugh. "I've met him. Yeah. A couple times. But it's, um... through the Stark internship. Mm-hmm." Peter turned to Bed, his teeth set, "but I'm not supposed to talk about it."

"Well, that's awesome. Hey, you know what? Maybe you should invite him to Liz's party. Right?" Flash said, clapping Peter on the back.

Liz snapped out of her daze and nodded, "Yeah, I'm having people over. You're more than welcome to come."

Peter stared at her with wide eyes, his mouth agape, "Having a party?"

Flash nodded, "Yeah, it's gonna be dope. You should totally invite your personal friend Spider-Man."

"Um..."

"It's okay, I know Peters way too busy for parties anyways, so..." Liz says, coming to Peters rescue. Though, she was kind of disappointed that he didn't want to come.

Chad walked over and stood beside Peter, making him gulp, "Come on, he'll be there. Right Parker?"

Peter gulps and nods.

"Twenty bucks says Parker doesn't actually know Spider-man." Harry says to [Y/N], "uh, that's if you're coming tonight — I'd love to see you there. M-maybe we could dance a couple of times... Only if you want to though."

Before [Y/N] could respond, the bell rang.

Peter threw his hands up in frustration as Liz and her friends left. "What are you doing?" He groans as he walks closer to Ned.

"Helping you out. You're not going to get over [Y/N] by pining over her everyday. Besides, didn't you hear? Liz has a crush on you."

Peter paused, trying to fathom a response. "Dude, you're an Avenger. If anyone has a chance with a senior girl it's you."

Before Peter could retort, [Y/N] and Harry walked over. "You know Spider-Man?" [Y/N] asked, her eyes wide and expectant.

p.s. sorry if this was too similar to the movie, especially the end bit. i'm trying to skim over some parts as you guys already know what happens but we can't skip everything otherwise nothing would flow.
