Chapter 15: Peter

{{{{{{{{{{ PETER POV }}}}}}}}}}

NEW

A new boy appeared in class today and when I saw him outside the classroom looking lost I offered my help, he seem to not know much about anything as Ned and I talk to him, I thought he was Amish or something but didn't wanted to ask, unfortunately Ned did and I almost had a heart attack about it, but he also seemed confused about that, a part of me wanted to spend time with him, so Ned and me told him to come to my place so we could show him "Star Wars" and I was happy he agreed to come because I wanted to get to know him better.

CLOSER

I got out of the apartment to make sure that Ned arrived safe at his place, he lived close by so it didn't take long for him to arrive, now I wanted to check on Zig, I found him just in time when I see two guys surrounding him, I helped him and decided to walk him home, I almost let out that I was Spider-Man saying his name when he didn't say it in front of me as Spider-Man, but I could came out with an excuse when he asked, when we arrived to his place I told him to text me if he ever gets in trouble, I don't want him to get hurt...maybe that is why I didn't feel great about what he told me about his bracelets they seem to hurt him and I don't like see him getting hurt.

INTERACTING

I was talking to Ned about how it bother me when we saw Ziggy this first period classes with Brad Davis, he told me that maybe I was jealous of Brad, then Zig came to our table with Brad and when he took Ziggy's hand calling him "sweet" I realize that maybe Ned was right, I was thinking how I should be the one holding his hand and not him, I was also angry about the story of how Flash was messing with Zig, MJ was the one to ask why he didn't realize it was bullying, I wanted to tell her not ask something like that even more so when Ziggy shared that story about how his mom died, I wanted to reach for his hand, but he let go Brad's hand for some reason, I think it was because of those damn bracelets that hurt him, but at least he wasn't holding Brad's hand that made me feel better and when I ask him later walking to our next class if he was ok, he said he was, so that's good with me, but I still wanted to hold his hand.

EXPRESSION

MJ sat with Ned and I after she came out from the art class with Ziggy and told us how he wears old looking necklaces because they were owned by his mother before him, she is our information source as she can ask him things without making him suspicious about me wanting to know more stuff about him, MJ also tell us that he likes them because it makes him feel like he is from another time, I smile a little at that thinking is cute, I turn to look at Zig but MJ slaps my arm telling me that he might notice we are talking about him, I don't think so as he is distracted drawing something.

Then we heard his voice...but not talking...he was singing and very nicely but he is stopped by Brad complimenting him, he said he didn't notice he did so, I compliment him as well (¡take that Brad!) He apologizes for diverting the attention, he shouldn't, because it was really nice and...I like it, every day I seem to like more and more Zig and today he is staying at my place for the whole weekend, hope it goes well.

HAND

I felt so content that this time I was the one holding Zig's hand instead of Brad, he seemed bothered about the scene with Luke and Vader when the last one was dying, I guess it hits close to home about his mom, so I take his hand to calm him down and he does it, so I keep our hands together to see if it helps for other movies and it does as well he even smiles, his smile is so...I don't know... it makes me fuzzy inside.

He was enjoying everything until he freaks out about "Alien", I felt so bad, maybe that movie did him wrong with his circulation and the bracelets, he was hiding in the bathroom maybe embarrassed about the whole thing, but I manage to take him out of there and back to my room, I take his hand again when we watch the next movie, yeah this feels right and I hope he feels much better.

At night I sense something and realize that Ziggy wasn't in my bed, I get up to look for him finding him at the living room window, when he explained me the reason why he wasn't in bed I wanted to help, I try to think for a solution but nothing came so I turn around to leave until I got an idea, I ask him to come back and when he does I lay with him and tell him that we will hold his hand, after all he just told me that it did helped him during the movies and...I just realize how nice is to be here with him, May earlier told me he seems like he's been through stuff and I just want to be there to make him feel safe, so if I have to hold his hand all the time to make him feel better I will.

FEELS

Ned, MJ and I were talking about a plan I had for me and Ziggy during the trip, I even made a list about it, MJ told me it was lame and Ned wanted me to not do it because he wanted us to be two bachelors in Europe, but I really wanted to do it more now I realize that I do like Zig more than just a friend, but we stopped our talk once he came to our table with Brad Davis as always, I was kinda annoyed, but also nervous because I hope we didn't make obvious that we were talking about him

During our flight for the school trip I try to get my plan going to switch seats so I could sit with Zig, I thought that it wouldn't work mostly when Mr. Harrington got in the middle of everything, but here I was with Ziggy, the way he is sleeping in my shoulder now is just like when on Saturday I woke up to him sleeping with his head on my chest, it just makes me feel good to see him at such peace when he usually looks on distress, I just hope the rest of the plan goes well, because this...this feels right.

TIRED

I will work on the next part of my plan once we landed in Italy that was basically buy a vintage necklace with a black dahlia on it for Ziggy, that according to MJ is his favorite flower, like her, but different reasons, also it goes with the fact that he likes vintage necklaces like his mom's ones, I'm glad MJ is helping me with the plan, but she did told me to not mess it up as she likes Ziggy as well...but as a friend...not like Brad who was a little too handy with him during our boat trip to the hotel...I was so mad...but anyway, I got the necklace and then this water creature appears, I didn't bring my suit but I had my web shooters that didn't help the fight, thankfully this guy came to fight the creature while I was doing support to not let anybody get hurt, after he beat the creature I realize that don't need to care about it, that guy got it covered.

When I came back from the fight I saw Ziggy stumbling and almost falling on the stairs of the hotel, so I helped him going to his room that he shares with MJ, when I get him there he just fall on the bed and is fast sleep, I ask MJ if she knows what happened to him and she just tells that he said he got all worked up running away from the water creature...and...ok, maybe I don't want to deal with any superhero stuff and water creatures, but if that thing tries to hurt Ziggy or my friends, I will step in again.

GLASSES

I thought Nick Fury hijacking my school trip was the worst thing ever, even if he give me the EDITH glasses from Mr. Stark that turn very helpful when I listen to a conversation between MJ and Zig, she was gonna tell me later the answer to the question she asked to Ziggy but I was anxious to know, anyway that wasn't the worst thing, the worst thing was how Brad entered a cabin where some lady that works for Fury was trying to make me try on a new suit in front of her, he took a picture and told me he will show it to Zig, so I had to use the EDITH glasses to erase it, well not before I accidently try to kill him with a drone, but I stop the drone and erase the picture, so he couldn't show it to Ziggy who was now sitting with me sleeping on my shoulder...maybe those things happening weren't "the worst thing ever" after all.

CONFRONTATION

Ziggy wasn't coming to the opera with the rest of us, which make me feel bad as he wasn't feeling well, but makes me feel calm that he is not gonna be close to danger again as I know that close to it there was gonna be other attack, I check on him and talk a little holding his hand, I feel more and more confident doing it, I tell him that if he feels better after we get back, maybe we can go out and he agrees, which I'm glad because I could have some lone time with him, so I get out of the hotel with a good mood even with the whole plan about the elementals interrupting my trip.

CHOICE

I should feel pretty bad about giving the EDITH glasses to Beck, but I don't, I actually feel good, but the good feeling didn't last long as I catch Ziggy crying outside the hotel, I help him and when he tells me that his father is taking him out the trip and school I felt my world crashing down, I didn't want him to leave, I had to do something, so I take him to the lobby and ask him to wait for me, I go up my room change to more comfortable clothes quickly and grab the necklace I buy for him before stepping out

When I walk back to the lobby and I take him by the hand to walk outside until he calms down, I ask him to confirm what he told me and he is really leaving, I look at the distance thinking that I should remain strong even I feel sad, I didn't want him to leave, I wanted him to stay with us...with me, I turn to look at him again and he is blushing, that's the first time I see him doing that, he looks even cutter with the blush on his face, I just realize that there is so much I still want to discover about him.

MJ interrupted just when Zig was about to tell me something, she revealed my identity while showing me a projector thing, I try to brush it off but when the projector show us how Beck was behind the elementals, I confess to them...but I wasn't the only one, Ziggy confessed that he was working with Beck and that he is the one controlling the elementals with powers, apparently Beck treated to kill him if he didn't cooperate using the bracelets that are meant to control and torture him, I felt sad that maybe he was with me just because of that, but he assures me that he isn't and he also confessed how his powers killed his parents when he didn't have the control, that kinda proves to me that he is honest, because why he would share that info? So I'm gonna help him, we are going to talk with Fury, unmask Beck's plan and ask him to help me with Zig.

I was still unsure about Ziggy because he could still be working for Beck, but when he told me the story of how Beck found him to and how he thought he was a monster...I couldn't take it, he isn't a monster, he couldn't be thinking of himself like that, I wasn't gonna allow it, so I talk him out of it and tell him that we will talk to Fury so he can help him as well.

SAFE

Zig and I just fall into another of Beck's tricks, he used a fake Fury to take us inside a building, then he made illusions around me with Ziggy falling off the Eiffel Tower and Mr. Stark being a zombie, it was awful, when I finally thought it was over and that Beck was stopped by Fury who shot him and demanded to know who else knew about the drones, I gave him the answer and it turned out that it was other illusion from Beck and before I knew it a train hit me, I survived and I wanted to go back and save Zig...but I was so hurt...when I get inside I find myself in one of the seats and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

When I woke up inside a jail, I realize that I had to get out and call the only person that can help me in this mess: Happy, he didn't take long, he stich me up until I snapped at him saying how I mess it all up, but he encourage me to keep going, take down Beck and save Zig, I track him in London and start to make a new suit and then I remember Zig and the bracelets so I made some special magnets that once attached to his bracelets they will no longer work, I also remember the necklace I bought for him, I gave it to Happy and tell him to give it to him if I don't make it, but he assures me that I will gonna give the necklace to Zig myself, I was hoping for the same.

When I go to stop Beck's illusion things got a little hard as part of it was also real, I don't know how but I think these are Ziggy's powers making me wonder how Beck make him cooperate, but that make me angry because maybe Beck is torturing him again, I manage to stop the illusion and Beck was next, when I got to him I see that he still had Ziggy as his prisoner in the glass cage, at least I know he still is alive.

After I stopped Beck he clicked something on his gauntlet that was hurting Zig pretty bad, I try to break the cage hitting it without much luck until I remember what I did in Washington, I use my web stretching them on the sides of the cage until I pull myself to the cage breaking it, as soon as I did it I put the magnets on Ziggy's bracelet and stopped their function, since he was shaking I pulled him close to me and explained what I did, he told me that I save him just before hugging me and I gotta say, even with all this mess, being here with Ziggy hugging me, it feels really nice.

FREE

Once in Queens after taking Zig to my place with May's help, I knew that we needed to take the shackles (as he wanted to call them now) from his wrist, but I needed help, so I contact Dr. Banner with Happy's help and we met him in a place where it used to be something called The Baxter Foundation that was working in here during The Snap but moved back to their principal facility after The Blip, apparently S.H.I.E.L.D. bought it as a temporary location in case they needed to reunite the remained Avengers.

We did 3D models of the shackles to not hurt Zig while doing test of different things, he was sleep while we were working and was shivering a little so I put a blanket on him before going back to work until we made the right tool to take the shackles off Ziggy, once the shackles were off I was worried for the scars left on his skin, but he decided to leave them like that as a reminder of things that happened, it was kinda brave.

While I was working with Dr. Banner with the shackles to track Beck's crew like Ziggy suggested us, I turned for a moment seeing Ziggy crying, I was worried the scars did hurt now without the shackles, but he told me that he was just happy, talking about it, Happy (Hogan) came and almost ruined the whole necklace surprise before I stopped him and nagged him about it, it was weird for me to nag at Happy, but I was nervous, he told me that he talked with Ms. Potts about Ziggy and how he could stay in this place to train, I didn't want Ziggy to leave my place, but I thought it was for the best.

When I told Ziggy about going to some place Happy (Hogan) told me where he could train and control his powers he told me that he didn't wanted to go, he was sure about the control of his powers and wanted to go back to Queens with me, I was obviously happy, maybe Happy (Hogan) was right, I was going to give him the necklace after all...but not now...I will wait for the right moment to do so.

A/N: Well, what do you guys think? I told you guys that the last chapter was basically the epilogue because this is more like a cute way to end the story (I think) showing a compilation of Peter's thoughts and POV during the whole story.
