Happy Reading!

Peter slowly woke up feeling the bright light of the sun on his face. Burying his face into his pillow, he then smelled Wade. The smell of gunpowder, maple syrup and something else that was just Wade. He hugged the pillow to his chest and just cried quietly. Thinking about all the times they had together, whether it was fighting as Spider-man and Deadpool in New York or just Peter and Wade together as a couple sitting on their couch. Memories of all their time together flashed before Peter's misty eyes, he couldn't help but cry again.

Like a zombie, Peter rose out of bed and headed for the kitchen, where Wade almost blew it up making pancakes for his sleeping boyfriend. Everything in the tiny apartment reminded Peter of his long-gone lover. Opening the front door, he looked under the mat and saw the spare key still laying there. It's dull golden sheen winking at him from the floor. He knew it was hopeless to wait, but he couldn't let Wade go. So he knew he would have to wait til the day he came home.

After a quick scan of the apartment to make sure everything was still in place, the 21 year old shuffled towards the bathroom to shower. Once he was under the stream of hot water, he thought back to the night his only love had just…left him, 3 years ago.

He had just come home after work at the Daily Bugle. Walking into their apartment, he noticed that the lights were off. Not seeing Wade anywhere, he assumed the merc was simply sleeping in their bedroom. Walking towards the door, he heard something on the other side. Swinging the door open, Peter saw Wade, mask on, sitting on their bed with his shoulders hunched.

Walking over, he asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong, baby? Tell me."

Wade turned to him and said in a low voice, "Why do you stay with a monster like me, when you could have someone better? I'm broken goods and you…you're one of the best things to exist on this entire planet. You're even better than tacos." Not a single hint of a smile or laugh in his tone. Peter hardly ever heard Wade so serious, even while he's on missions or out in the field.

Peter shook his head and grabbed his boyfriend's face. "Don't you ever say such things about yourself. You are not a monster. And you never will be. I stay with you because I love you Wade. More than I ever loved Gwen or Mary Jane. They never took up all of my heart like you do. And better? I don't know a single person out there who is better for me than you. Do you think me so shallow that I'd leave you just for your appearance? I don't care about how the scars look or how many there are. All I care about is you. "

Wade simply looked down and said, "You don't know anyone yet… One day, while you are out there saving people, you'll meet someone who deserves your love. There's someone who is whole and can take care of you better than I ever could."

Looking at his love in utter disbelief and anger that he'd ever think that, he shouted, "NO! There is no one who will ever understand what I do and why and I do it. No one but you, Wade. You might not be whole but I don't care. I'm not whole either, I haven't been that way in a long time but you make me feel whole again Wade. How can you not see that? And another thing… You take care of me just fine. You aren't hurting me and you love me. You're doing it just fine." Reaching for his lover's face, he kissed him on the mouth feeling the spandex between their lips.

Peter looked at Wade and said, "I need to go patrol. I'll be back in a few hours. Then I'm going to spend all night til all of tomorrow, showing you how much I love you. Okay?"

*3 hours later*

Peter climbed through the window into the bedroom. Looking around, he didn't see Wade around. Walking out of the room, he looked throughout the entire apartment and couldn't find Wade. Peter just assumed he got hungry and went to go get some pizza or tacos, when he noticed a piece of paper on the kitchen counter. Figuring it was a note from Wade telling him where he went, he scanned it over. As he read it, his body slowly slunk to the ground.

On the paper, Wade had written in his messy handwriting,

"I'm sorry, Peter. I can't do this anymore. I just can't be with you anymore. You deserve so much better. Please don't wait around for me. Please move on and build a better life for yourself, for me. I know that this note must be breaking your heart, but I just can't be with you. It would be selfish of me to keep you with me when our relationship is slowly ruining your chances of a nicer and happier life. You're only 18, you shouldn't be stuck with a 26 year old man when you could have a pretty girl you're age. I'm a selfish bastard but as my one and only ever selfless act, I'm going to leave you.

By the time you're reading this, I'll have been long gone. Don't bother tracking me or looking for me. S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be able to find me either, so don't go bothering the Avengers for help to find me. I know you to well for that Spidey. Maybe one day, I'll come back to New York. It's such a nice city and the taco places here are great.

I love you and I'm so sorry,

Wade "Deadpool" Wilson"

Peter sat there crying his heart out. How could he leave him? Didn't he know that by leaving him, he just made Peter hurt more than any physical injury ever could? Getting up and walking over to their bedroom, he realized that all of Wade's stuff was gone. Wade was gone. Wade had left him. And that night all he could do was cry. He cried for his long gone love who had promised never to return.

Peter realized with a start that the water had turned ice cold and that he needed to get out of the shower. Dressing quickly, he got his stuff and left the apartment. Locking the door, he walked briskly towards the elevator and then on to work. It was an old routine that he had gotten used to after 3 years of waiting. Bruce, Stark and Steve had all told him that Wade was never coming back but he didn't care about what they said. They were wrong. He would wait for Wade to come home til the day he died. He wasn't so much angry at him as he was sad that Wade thought that he could leave and that everything would be fine if he did.
