A Ten Year Plan Chapter 10: Hanging With Max, a spider-man fanfic

At the GoGo Bar

"Peter! Long time no see!" Max exclaimed when he saw Peter. "How've you been?" He asks while giving Peter a hug.

"I've been awesome!" He says while patting Max on the back. "How've you been?" He asks when they pull away from the hug.

"I've been good. Now, let's go in. I love the drinks here."

"Seriously, how are you straight, but like going to GoGo bars? Just give a reason why?" Peter asks Max as they enter inside the bar.

"Because I don't want to be with anyone who has the same unit as I do, I really do love the drinks here, and the music is out of this world!"

"Well, you gave me three good reasons."

"And I'll give one more good reason. Maybe I'll find a pretty lady here to ask out on a date." Max tells Peter.

"Dang it! Why is it that everyone is dating or finding someone to date?"

"Because I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. I want the boring live, where I get married, have kids, grow old and share my life with someone who loves me in return."

Max's statement made Peter think of Harry.

"But how can that make anybody satisfied with their life?" Asked Peter.

"Because everyone deserves someone, even if they don't believe in that concept. Even of they are scared of it, they'll never know who they deserve as a soulmate if they don't take the chance. But enough about that. Where's your future husband? It's weird not seeing Harry here with you at all."

"Ugh, please don't even go there!" Peter said angrily.

Max laughs, then asks, "Why not?"

"Nothing's wrong." Peter tells him.

"Nice try, but that's bullshit. Total bullshit. I'm not buying it at all, Pete."

"Let's go outside where you can hear me." Peter says, leading them out of the bar.

Once they were outside, Peter unbuttoned his shirt. Max looked at Peter, and noticed that he looks as if he's on the verge of tears.

"Peter why are you so down? I can feel all that sadness oozing out of you." Max says.

"Apparently, Harry just met somebody new."

"Aww." Max says.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, Harry thinks he's so in love that he thinks that this guy named Flash, could finally be the one. I don't think that I'm going to exist to Harry anymore."

"Sounds like someone is very jealous. Why not tell him how you're feeling?" Max asks him.

"I can't do that. He'll think that I'm jealous, which I'm not."

"Keep telling yourself that." Max tells him while patting Peter on the back.

"Max, I do want Harry to be happy, but what if he gets hurt?"

"Then he gets hurt. Just remember that time heals all things, and even in the loneliest state of mind, happiness is still so hard to find. Besides, we will always be there to help him pick up the pieces." Max reminded him.

"You're right. It's just frustrating you know?" Peter says.

"I know, Pete, but everything will work out in it's on own timing.

"Max, you are really awesome man. Thanks."

"No problem, Spidey. Now let's go back inside and have a good time!"

"How did you know about that?"

"Well, well, well, you're finally getting old, bro. You forgot that you, Harry and I had a slept over at your house? The pictures are a dead giveaway. No one takes amazing photos like you do, plus I saw your costume in your bathroom, with your dirty laundry. Besides, I've never see you around, unless you're hanging with Harry or hanging out with MJ."

"Damn. I thought I was being clever."

"Peter, you're very clever, but you suck at keeping secrets sometimes. Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. Let's get crazy!"

"I concur." Peter replies while they step back into the bar.

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night 'n' dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

"Max! Listen to this song!" Peter exclaimed once they were inside the bar.

Today just wasn't my day
Everyone's getting me so fed up
I gotta find a way
I know what can make me feel better
Stepping out in my best
Looking hotter than ever
Wherever the party is
That's where I'll be in a second...

"Fuck! We used to dance to this song back in the day in our early 20s, remember Pete?"

"Yup, and after almost a decade, it doesn't get old. Shall we get a couple beers after we go dance on the dance floor?" Asked Peter.

"Yup, you know it." Max said as they walk to the dance floor to dance.

I'm ready to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I'm a lose control
hee-here I go

Peter sings along with Paula Abdul.

I'm loving the atmosphere
Feels like I'm floating in heaven
The music's all in my ear
Taking over me
My hearts racing
Feeling so Hollywood
How I got everybody staring
There eyes on the cameras
And I'm loving all the attention

Get up to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear my song
I'm a lose control
h-here I go

Max sings the song as well, trying to dance like Paula Abdul.

Please DJ don't say it's the last call
'Cause I know what it means
And I don't want you to play no slow song
I'm still building it up to talk to that guy
Just give me another song and make it right...

After their dance, both men go sit at the bar and order their drinks.

"Pete, can I ask you a question? Strictly hypothetical?"

"Um..sure."

"Let's just say that you did harbor some feelings for Harry, and you had to describe how you feel about him, what would you say?" Max asks him.

"I can honestly say that he's the most beautiful man I've ever met, who's kind, caring and great. He really brings out the best in me, and sometimes I feel that he completes me. Sometimes I feel like it's me and him against the world, you know? Like he's my one and only soul mate." Peter says without even thinking, sounding as if he is in love. "Well, it's a genuine hypothetical answer, isn't it?" Peter tells him, trying to sound normal.

'This poor idiot is helplessly in love with Harry and he doesn't even realize it.' Max thinks to himself. "Yup. Aren't you lucky that you're going to be a bachelor for life?"

"Yeah! Bachelor for life! Now, let's stop talking about love and let's drink the night away." Peter tells him.
