This is just a short 1-2 drabble that I came up with after watch season one, just really finished yesterday and it was just mind boggling with how much in denial everybody, Harry and Peter was in, in regards of Norman. So I was just thinking what would happen if Peter quit being Spiderman and told Harry everything.

It's been almost two years since I've became Spiderman and let me tell you it wasn't easy. I wasn't the best superhero, but I wasn't bad, I originally took on this alias as a way to track down my uncle killer. When I finally did find him I was conflicted with either getting my revenge or taking the high road. I took the high road of course and from there I decided to become a superhero. I've done a pretty ok job as a superhero, but I could've done better, would've if I didn't decide to quit. That's right, quit.
It was kind of a uphill, downhill battle once I joined S.H.I.E.L.D, while I learned a lot, I was losing a lot in my personal life. Nobody tells you when you join the hero league and all, you're sacrificing a lot of time. And it was cool and all, it was just me and Aunt May and my two best friends Mary Jane and Harry Osborn. It wasn't until lies were starting to spread and the guilt was slowing catching up. Mainly it was my fault a lot of bad things were happening. While my team members were trying to convince me that it can't be help that I had people obsessing over me, somebody very near and dear to me got caught in the middle.
I was so busy being "Spiderman" instead of Peter Park, I wasn't really there for Harry leaving him alone with his estranged father who ended being the reason why Venom even came to be. Harry trying to impress his father ended up taking part of Venom in him and lost control, then his dad ended up turning into the Green Goblin due to being "betrayed" by Doctor Octopus. That's when lies and half truths started falling from the sky and lead to Harry being confused and conflicted and angry.
As you can see, it was just a domino effect and it started with me. After a few more months of playing hero, I decided to hang up my suit and leave the hero business for a little while. Of course nobody was happy and my teammates thinks I'm abandoning them, but I have to make things right with my family and friends first.
"Peter? Yo Peter, anybody home," Harry waved his hand in front of my face looking concerned.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that." I laughed awkwardly, it was like freshman year again, all awkward and nerdy and really insecure.
"You know we really skirted around our issues, especially when we both stopped hanging out." Yeah, it has been about a month since I quit being Spiderman and I made contact with Harry first, I told him some stuff and he told me some stuff and we never really actually said anything. I guess we're both scared of what the other might say. I'm just scared that Harry will hate me. No he already does, he just doesn't know it.
I rubbed the back of my neck and tugged at my collared shirt. No amount of deep breathing is going to get me to calm my nerves. "Look I got into some things that kind of got me into some trouble," Harry raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "And it might've gotten me involved with some non law-abiding people."
Harry gasped, "You're in a gang?" Well he's not wrong technically. "Define gang." Harry grabbed Me by my shirt outrage I would make a joke now of all times. "Seriously Peter, you're a smart person with your whole life ahead of you, is it because of those new kids that you've been hanging around with."
"Yes and no, look, I've haven't been completely honest with you these last couple of years," I sighed, heart half out of my chest. "I'm going to tell you something that you're not going to believe, definately make you hate me and lose all trust in me." Harry looked stumped. "Peter I would never…" I cut him off knowing that statement won't be true after I tell him my story. "Look all I ask of you when I tell you everything is to one: don't interrupt and two: stay open minded about everything. Ok?"
Harry nodded.
I let out of breath, "Ok...ok...it all start about two years back on the field trip to your father's science lab and…"

So yeah I just ended it like that. If you guys like it, the idea or concept. Just drop a line or two.
Thanks.
