Nova was feeling uneasy. He shifted the weight of the body his arms were carrying for the thousandth time. The grunt from below reminded him that Spiderman did not appreciate it one bit. Of course, Sam ignored it. He also pretended he had not heard the dozen protests or the growls. In the end, his hands unconsciously went closer to Peter's inner thigh and that was when the boy screeched:

"Nova, what the hell?!"

The scream startled Sam. As a result, he lost his balance and soon Spiderman found himself plummeting to the concrete jungle's floor. A curse was yelled and a demand as well. Naturally, Nova felt obliged to heed Spiderman's call. With a few swift moves Peter was back in Sam's arms again and the two were currently floating. The street seemed utterly quiet, asleep even, minus the few windows that had a light streaming from them. But those died down soon enough.

Sam carefully put Spiderman on the ground and watched in horror as the superhero fought for breath. Peter's chest was heaving up and down from terror, whereas Sam's was having a hard time catching its breath because of guilt and fear.

"I…I-I'm sorry." Sam began, "I didn't mean to…"

Peter put up a hand to silence him. It worked. Silence fell while the two superheroes struggled to breathe. Soon they both recovered.

"What the hell was that for, bucket? You trying to feel me up and then kill us both?!" Peter yelled as he aimed a punch at Sam.

Nova dodged just in time. He flew upwards and tried to get away from Peter's webs, while he screamed:

"I was not trying to feel you up. I made a mistake alright?"

Nova made a sharp turn and aimed a few blasts at Spiderman's feet. The web slinger avoided them effortlessly. Peter was just about to retaliate when Sam quickened his speed and crashed his body into that of Peter. While Spiderman struggled, Nova managed to grab both his wrists and pin them above Peter's head. What Sam did not realize was that he had also pinned Peter's hips with his own. Nonetheless, he had succeeded in subduing Spiderman, which was what his mind was mostly concerned with right now.

Spiderman panted. He tried to shoot webs at Nova's face only to pale when nothing came out. He had forgotten to refill them yet again. Fortunately, this happened with an ally and not with an enemy. Not that Peter was currently eyeing Nova as a friend.

"Let go of me!" Peter yelled as he squirmed, missing the slight stiffness in Sam's expression and his sudden swallow.

"Not until you calm down." Sam uttered as he used more force and managed to halt Peter's squirming. Nova sighed internally, although a part of him was still craving the delicious friction that had previously been created.

"Hear me out, webs." Nova pleaded.

Peter froze. His eyes widened. Had Nova actually implored that Peter listened to him? He had not demanded. He had not requested. He had beseeched! It was then that Spiderman realized something. He and Nova had actually grown close, despite their masks and secrets; in spite of the lack of knowledge of each other's identity, a bond had already been formed between them and it was not going to just disappear.

Suddenly a fact registered in Peter's mind. Peter did a double take when he took in the position he was currently in. His wrists were starting to hurt. However, he did not mind the pain. It was electrifying. His heart rate quickened as his mind wondered what else Nova could do with those hands exactly and what Peter could do with his own once they were set free. There was also the heat that radiated from Sam's body which seemed to caress and even merge with that of Peter's at certain places.

The latter realization was followed by a gasp. Peter's lower regions were starting to react in a very embarrassing yet natural way. He gulped once he eyed the body above his. Smooth muscles flexed as Nova moved slightly in order to adopt a more comfortable position. The movement caused their hips to slide against in each other in a very pleasurable for Peter way. His mind had lost its ability to form anything coherent or cohesive. His heart was racing with time and was soon going to explode. Sweat started trickling down Peter's brow and he could not help but pant and ask:

"C-Can you move my mask upward in order to free my mouth and nose?"

Nova was stunned by the request but complied, nonetheless. He let go of one of Peter's wrists and carefully freed the other teen's mouth and nose. Sam tentatively withdrew his fingers and resisted the urge to trace those soft lips with the tips of his fingers. Instead he focused his attention on the way sweat trickled slightly from the area still hidden by the mask into the open. The salty liquid blazed a path from the right side of Peter' nose all the way to the border of the teen's upper lip; it then contemplated whether to fall forward or tease Sam further by outlining the detail of that upper lip. Naturally, the blasted substance opted for the second option.

Its choice demolished whatever sanity was left in Sam. As the salty liquid moved from the middle of Peter's upper lip to the corner of the teen's mouth, Sam found himself licking his lips. The action did not go unnoticed by Peter. The boys' heart rates intensified. Both looked at each other through their masks and their chests heaved further up and down. As their hearts drummed in their ears both realized something. There was obvious tension between them. There was also something else between them that bordered the layers of friendship into something more carnal.

Sam's widened. He took in much needed gulps of air as the heat in his body electrified him to the core. He had never felt such raw energy radiating from another human body. He had never experienced such a burning need to connect his body with that of another person. He had never wanted to devour another body's skin as much as tonight. His senses had never been heightened to such an unbearable degree.

He needed release. That much was obvious. He had a craving that was only intensifying as the moments wore on. With resoluteness he had never felt before Sam leaned in. He heard Peter gasp and waited for Spiderman to react. Sam purposefully loosened the grip on the other teen's hand and gave him time to escape. Seeing as Peter had yet to react, Sam leaned in further. His lips were now ghosting over those of Spiderman, igniting an unknown fire inside Peter's every fiber.

Sam's mind became blank once Peter sealed their fates. Spiderman crashed his lips against Nova's with bruising force. Sam protested slightly, but soon found all trace of restraint vanishing from him. His free hand cupped Peter's cheek, while his other one traced the side of Peter's body and rested on the boy's hip.

Once his hands were free Peter's desire was unleashed to its full force. He wrapped both hands around Nova's waist, using one of them to trace the curve of each contracting muscle on the superhero's sculpted back. As their lips molded against one another, Sam's hand started tracing circles on Peter's hips, teasing the teen further. Peter's response was a low growl that had Sam's mind spiraling.

Peter used Sam's distractedness to pry Nova's lips open. Normally, Peter would ask for entrance, but now his patience was wearing thin and he wanted to explore the warm cavern that was just a breath away. Sam gasped in surprise, but was soon moaning when Peter slid his tongue against Sam's. The wet muscles got tangled in a war that was going to rage between them for years to come.

Feeling bolder by the second, Peter decided to try something new. He teasingly traced Sam's teeth, while simultaneously resting his hands on Sam's rear and giving it a firm squeeze. The actions earned him a gasp and low groan. Peter pulled back and smirked. However, he was not given any time to revel in his victory. It was Peter's turn to moan when Sam tugged at his lower lip and then went to kiss and suck at Peter's jaw. Sam scraped his teeth against the damp skin, eliciting a gasp and groan from the boy below him.

Sam then traced the path from Peter's jaw to his nose with sweet butterfly kisses, making Peter growl in protest. Sam chuckled at the reaction he received and decided to take his teasing further. He kissed the area directly next to Spiderman's swollen lips, but did not venture further. Instead Sam moved upward and put a kiss between the teen's mouth and nose. He then kissed Spiderman's nose and finally retreated, his heart rate having come down from its high, along with his body. The same could be said for Spiderman. Nonetheless, the two panted and gave their lungs enough time to catch up with their hearts and allowed their minds to grasp what exactly had just transpired between them.
