Chapter 23
Reaching his home and noting his aunt wasn't home, Spider-Man let himself and Sam in through the window and closed it before removing his mask. Turning to Sam Jamie sighed.
"Okay, first, I better get changed and let aunt know I'm safe. She'll be freaking out over what happened at city hall." He said.
Sam nodded, handing Jamie his clothes. "Good idea, I better do the same and call mom." He replied.
Jamie nodded and left the bedroom to quickly change, setting his suit aside, but hidden, to be cleaned later. He then called his aunt.
"Jamie, where are you, I saw the attack at city hall on the news and-" She burst out.
"I'm okay, I'm okay, Aunt Dakota." He said quickly, reassuringly. "I got away, so did Sam, we're safe, we're back home."
"Sam's with you?" She confirmed then sighed. "Okay good, be careful, I can't make it back until tomorrow morning."
Jamie smiled lightly. "We will be, don't worry, take care."
After some relief on both their parts, they hung up, glad the other was safe, Jamie then returned to his room to see Sam hang up his phone nod to him with a smile confirming the same had happened with his talk with his mom.
Taking a seat by his desk while Sam sat down on Jamie's bed the pair were in an awkward silence at first, as Jamie wondered how to even begin.
Finally he sighed. "So yeah, as you've discovered, I'm Spider-Man...I have been for a little over a year now...it's, it's been a crazy time. But always I was driven by one thing...After seeing how my dad died, how if certain people had acted responsibly it could have been prevented..."
"So that's what led to it...?" Sam noted, having already heard the how on their way over. "It was all about responsibility?"
"Always." Jamie confirmed. "Of course it began to get crazy when the various supervillains started showing up and of course you've got Kingpin...now this guy, Kraven..."
Sam shuddered, having witnessed the fight and seeing just how deadly the Hunter was.
Biting his lip he considered for a moment before asking.
"What the Assassins that were after, eight of them you said, was Chameleon one?"
"Yes, so were Rhino and Scorpion." Jamie explained. "There's only two left now...Kraven and Vulture."
Sam bit his lip as he took all this in, even more amazed than before.
Finally Jamie couldn't take it anymore.
"Sam, I'm so sorry..." He blurted out.
"Sorry, for what?"
Jamie looked at him incredulously. "Chameleon, Scorpion and Rhino, now Kraven. Three times you were put in danger because of me, twice you've been kidnapped and held prisoner, the first time it was DAYS before you were found...all because of me, my enemies."
Sam shook his head, knowing where this was going. "Jamie, don't-"
"I can't do that Sam, I can't be that selfish...you're already in enough danger just taking photographs of me and being my friend...I can't tell you how I really feel about you-" Jamie blurted out before catching himself.
But it was too late.
"How you really...Jamie?" Sam gasped.
Jamie shook his head. "Don't please, I can't...not when I'd just break your heart."
Sam's gaze softened. "Jamie, are you saying you have a crush on me?"
"More than that..." Jamie admitted. "I...I'm in love with you dude, you're just amazing, your dance talents, your kindness, how friendly you are, your looks."
He blushed at the last part, as did Sam.
Sam cleared his throat but Jamie wasn't done.
He continued. "That's why I always got so mad at those bullies for they treated you, you deserve better than that, deserve better than the crap you had to deal with from your dad before he walked out "
Sam smiled softly. "That's why you always stood up to those bullies, even before becoming Spider-Man...one of the things I love about you. Along with your own kindness, your willingness to help others and of course your looks help too."
Sam gave a soft laugh as he blushed at the last statement.
"Sorry but it's true...also, you should, I had a crush on Spider-Man too for obvious reasons, it was a conflict for me, knowing I felt for both you and him...now I learn you're one and the same so all the stuff I felt about Spider-Man, I feel it for you..."
Jamie bit his lip, shaking his head. "But the danger-"
"I'm willing to face it." Sam said firmly. "I'd rather face the danger and be with you than lose you forever."
Jamie was left startled by that. "Sam, that's, wow, I...I don't..."
Still smiling, Sam stood from the bed and approached Jamie.
"Maybe this will convince you." He said.
With that he gently took hold of Jamie's face and kissed him, deeply. Jamie was stunned for a moment before returning the kiss, the two of them lost in the softness of each other's lips.
Finally parting for air they found Jamie's hands had found their way to Sam's waist and their foreheads touched.
"So we're now..." Sam began.
Jamie replied. "Yeah, my aunt won't be home till morning but I guess she'll still be first person we tell."
"Cool." Sam agreed before yawning, as did Jamie. "Though we should probably head to bed now."
Jamie agreed, the two of them felt exhausted yet also lighter, their confessions having lifted a great weight from them. They quickly stripped down to T-shirts and their underwear before getting into Jamie's bed, Sam instantly snuggling up to Jamie, his arms around Jamie's torso, Jamie meanwhile had one hand on the small of Sam's back, the threaded through Sam's curls as they both drifted off to sleep, finding peace for the first time in a while, having finally told each other the truth.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
