Okay so I was fucking around on Tumblr like always whenever I get hella bored and I saw that someone was calling for a Spider-Man kiss scene for Jlaire...

And my brain went fucking bet but lets do a twist to this.

That is all for this one-shot. I hope you guys enjoy it!

When I first got my powers, I never thought that it would lead me to a moment like this.

The rain poured heavy as I hung upside down from a web I shot up and was hanging from somewhere.

How does that even work? I never really asked that question but I don't think I'll ever get an answer.

I mentally shook myself out of my thoughts as I watched the hazel-eyed Latina look over my features as if I was exactly what she was hoping for under the mask she slipped off not too long ago. I would have stopped her if this wasn't my first run in with her where I desperately wanted to tell her my secret.

I was fighting myself for weeks as I started getting closer to Claire. I knew if I didn't tell her that she'll think that I was just being an asshole with how many study sessions and rehearsals I've been missing due to hero things. But the fact of her knowing would put her in danger was the thing that ate at me the most as I contemplated the idea.

But as I hung there, it's not like I had a choice anymore in the matter.

I felt her hands place themselves on my cheeks, her left still holding the mask that she slipped off my face as she still looked over my features as if she was putting the puzzle pieces together.

"Well." She let out a breath for a moment before speaking once more. "This explains a lot." I chuckled lightly at her as a small smile appeared on her face.

"That's all? Not going to grill me on not telling you before?" I felt her thumbs run up and down the sides of my jaw as her free fingers not holding the spandex mask went to the hair at the nape of my neck.

"Oh I would if I didn't just witness a reason as to why."

"Tell us what you know about the spider kid!"

"I have no clue what you're talking about!" I swallowed dryly as I saw Claire having a knife placed dangerously closely to her neck.

"Stop lying to me! That fucker needs to pay for his meddling and the story goes that you're one of his favorites to save. Now tell me!"

I jumped in soon after that. I couldn't handle watching her being in danger due to me being way too close to her. I knew I had to do something. It's my fault that she was put in that situation. I had to help her. What else was I supposed to do?

"But I'm not a girl that needs to be saved." I smiled widely at her as I saw the smirk appearing on her face.

It's always as if she could read my mind. No wonder why I always liked her. She could read me like a book and it was a rather enjoyable change in comparison to what I was used to.

"I never said you needed to be, but what kind of hero would I be if I didn't lend a hand?" I gave her a toothy grin which only caused her to shake her head lightly at my statement while a memory danced within my mind.

"How many more of these are you going to miss, Jim?" I gave her a toothy grin as I scratched the back of my neck gently.

"I'm sorry, Claire. I promise I'm trying my best here." She stepped closer to me as the lights within the house casted shadows against the window of the bodies that were crowding within it.

"I know there is something more going on, but I won't force you to answer me." She looked down to the small distance between us before looking back up to me once more. "We've been friends for years so I know that digging for an answer will just lead me to a dead end." She placed her hands onto my shoulders as her hazel eyes peered into mine as if she was looking into my soul. "But you know you can tell me anything." I smiled softly at her as my mind was screaming at me to just tell her the truth.

"I know. I promise I will when I can." This caused a happy look to appear in her eyes as she pulled me into a hug while the music from the small party was barely audible out on her porch.

"I look forward to it, Jim."

"I wanted to tell you. There were so many moments I wanted to drive to your house, sneak through your window, and explain it all to you." Her thumbs were now rubbing gently on my cheeks. I felt my face flush as I looked at the soft gleam that was within her eyes.

"I know." Her voice was soft as she seemingly stepped closer to me.

"You know that now you actually know what I've been doing, that you'll be in even more danger, right?"

"You mean that my normal Tuesday will now be my everyday? I don't think I'll mind that." I chuckled lightly at her as a lopsided grin appeared on my face.

I knew within the last year that Claire had started feeling the same way I had about her. But right before I was planning to tell her that I felt the same, I was bitten by the spider that caused my powers to emerge. I always wanted to tell her how I felt before I let my powers be known so I knew she was still wanting to be with me, for well, me.

But the way she looked at me within this moment was the same as she did ever since her friend Mary said she first started getting mutual feelings for me. It was enough to tell me that she didn't think of me any differently than she ever had before.

"What would I do without you, Claire?"

"Be a lost puppy." My lopsided smile only spread a little wider as I could feel her breath on my skin with how close she was now.

"So you're not afraid?"

"Why would I be?" My eyes caught hers once more. They seemed like bright hazel lights within the darken scene from the heavy downpour. I reached out and tucked a drenched strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. This wasn't something that wasn't abnormal for us but usually it wasn't merely inches away from each other and I couldn't seem to get myself to pull away from her. I leaned in slightly closer as I leaned into her touch.

"You're not just saying that because I look good in this suit, right?" This caused a full laugh to come from her as she glanced up to the rest of my red and blue spandex suit that Toby and I had flung together after I first got into the whole mess that was spider based superhero antics.

"That's just an added bonus." I smiled as the small distance between us was bridged. It was a little different since I was still hanging upside down but the feel of her soft lips on mine was enough to make me forget about the whole situation as her hands printed themselves on my cheeks as my hand slipped into the back of her hair. I could lose myself forever within that moment.

"Warhammer to Spidey. Warhammer to Spidey! We got an issue near the museum on the corner of Delancey and Boulevard."

I ignored the sound of Toby's voice as Claire and I held each other in place for a moment as the rain continued to pelt us gently. It felt like a dream. Set for in my dreams when I first started wanting to be with her like this didn't involve hanging upside down from a web like some kind of human black widow.

"J! We REALLY need your help here! Stricklander's back on his shit again!"

I groaned as I pulled back from Claire to grab the communication com from my little belt I had strapped to my waist to hold it up against my face to give my response.

"Was a little preoccupied. I'll be there as soon as I can." I slipped it back into my belt after making sure it was off. I jumped down from where I was hanging, twisting at the waist so I could stand before Claire with a toothy grin. "Sorry, duty calls."

"Now I know how you always seem to know where to be though." She placed my mask on top of my head and started pulling it down for me until it was barely under my nose. Quickly, she placed a chase kiss on my lips before pulling it back down completely. "Just be safe, okay?"

"When am I not?" This caused a smile to appear on her face as she patted my cheek before pulling back.

"Go get 'em, Tiger." I gave her a small nod before shooting a web behind me to pull myself out of the small alleyway that we were standing in. Once I was on the nearby rooftop, I fist bumped the air before doing a small backflip after jumping off the side of the building to shoot another web to swing across town toward Delancey. The only thing playing in my mind was the airy giggle of a hazel-eyed Latina while the breeze and cold rain greeted me like an old forgotten friend.

It didn't care for me in that moment what kind of hell Stricklander was going to put me through today because Claire Nuñez knew who I was, didn't seem to change her opinion of me, and also, but most importantly to me personally, had kissed me.
