What bugged him the most was those weird things he could do since the bug bit him and even though he was thinking about a lot of things today, he just wanted to lie down and watch TV./p

I know what you're going to say"br /"Pete, I really have to do this, it's my duty-"br /"May, it's okay. I don't want to be a burden. I know we can't afford health insurance with your new job and, it's okay, I don't need it, I'm fine."br /"You call it fine to have 7 attacks in the last month?"br /Peter just closed his eyes and let the warm sunshine filter through his /"It was my fault. I did gym class "br /"What a pathetic excuse Peter, you know what...it's a trigger."/p

I ...I'm sorry I was born that way, I really am."br /"Oh Peter, you are not to blame for this. It's just...you know since Ben died I can't...I-"Peter sat down next to his aunt and hugged /"You're not to blame for anything, just...it was a stupid accident and I, I promise to work more hours at Delmar. Maybe I can get some allergy tablets."br /"You know that's not enough..."br /"Leave it alone May, I'll be fine, I promise."br /"Don't promise what you can't keep Pete."br /May got up choking back tears and locked herself in the room. Just the same. That night she would end up on the floor of the hallway of her Queens apartment gasping for oxygen and watching her sats go down the drain. At least he hoped that the night he died May would be by his side indulging his laughter. Life was a little unfair./p

And believe it, everything was going well, you could say that , until he had the magnificent idea of getting to be an idiot in some blue and red tights hahaha if May could saw it , she would scoff because she could add makeup and be a very cheap version of the almighty Drag Queen. However, back to the point despite the financial state and understanding how everything is handled now in his body he started to stop petty crime and help grannies with their cats, it was the fair thing to do./p

Who could forgive killing the only real source of security in his short and miserable existence. Yes, it was an accident, but one thing lead to another and now ...now he was almost alone. May worked almost 24/7 at the hospital, not only for trying to take responsibility for the lack of money from Uncle Ben's contribution, but for now running away to pain. Peter also did the same, unfortunately he didn't know how to cope with the pain and the best decision was really to be in school, take extracurriculars to the max and be freaking spiderman, weird name, yeah, he cared too much, no./p

He was lonely, his friends Ned and MJ loved him of course they did, but they definitely hadn't reached that level of trust yet and his Aunt May was a ghost now in his life. Nothing more to add. br /Flash for his part couldn't miss, now he had one more reason to make fun of the damn kid, the damn orphan boy. In reality, nothing really mattered to him anymore, he was nothing short of considering the end of his life in a self-perpetuating way, it was really an automatic thing now, getting up, eating, doing chores, trying to breathe through severe attacks of asthma and sleep. He was just looking to not feel the pain./p
