[A few hrs ter]

  After handing Fsh over to the cops and as usual, the cops... Haaa... They are fug pain in the ass. Seriously, they keep asking irrelevant questions. Like dude, ask Fsh those questions when he wakes up, not us...

  They took our statements, arrested Fsh, and told us to visit the preorrow for further questioning. But the thing is, while one was questioning us, the other one had already called Fsh's aunt. Ah! These corrupt bastards.

  "Why should we waste our time? I gave you the evidehe live footage of him assaulting her. Plus, two fug hours of questioning... What more do you guys want? So, here's what we are going to do. We'll make it publid let you cops take the heat f to cover up for him," I couldn't help but y it out oraight. Seriously, these cops piss me off so much that I wanhem up too. But, sadly, doing that will nd me in jail so...

  The cop widened his eyes hearing my threat.

  "Boy, don't try to act over-smart. We deal with the likes of you daily. One word from us, and you'll rot behind bars for a long time. So watch your tone kid, or else..." He threatened me back.

  "Is that so?" I tilted my head sideways and smirked. "Wan?"

  "Don't, Peter..." Liz tugged my sleeve and warned me nervously.

  I smiled at her softly and caressed her bruised cheek, "It's okay, Liz. Trust me." It felt so cheesy and ge, but I feel kinda bad for her. Seeing me f Liz, the cop snorted in disdain.

  I gred at the cop sharply, "Let's make things clear. First of all, you guys questioned us for two fug hours when you clearly saw the video of Fsh assaulting Liz. Sedly, you didn't even bother to send Liz to the hospital or check if she needed medical attention. Thirdly, you called Fsh's aunt without even inf us first. Do you cops think you cover this up? Fine, let's py yame. I'll upload this video online and wait until your chief hears about this."

  "What are you talking about? We never called anyone. Besides, it would seem, you two are s. Seeing things. Are you two high or something? In that case, we have to take you in f possession," The cop lied through his teeth shamelessly.

  "Yeah, sure. Drug possession. That reminds me, did you guys check Fsh's body f possession? I'm sure he was high on something or else why would he threaten someone in public with a knife? Go on, check him, and don't try to do anything funny. You are live. Thousands of people are watg you jokers," I challehem.

  How do I know he gs? Well, I smelled it on him the moment I walked near him. All hail Spidey senses...

  The cop gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly. He gestured one of his buddies to check Fsh's body.

  Soon enough, that idiot found a packet of pills in Fsh's pocket. He quickly tried to hide it, but I grabbed his hand, "Hold my phone," I gave it to Liz before pulling his hand in front and showing it to everyog us, "Would you look at that folks? Drugs. Wow! Corrupt cops trying to cover up for a criminal... How shog! Officer, what are you gonna do now? You were just threatening us f possession but turns out the culprit is your suspect..."

  Everyog us booed at them loudly. Some even began rec us. The officer panicked seeing others rec them. He grabbed the pills from his buddy's hand and shoved them inside his pocket. Theurowards Liz and yelled, "Delete the video now!"

  "How many videos will you delete? Look around you," Liz poi the crowd rec them live and taunted him smugly. "Besides, didn't he already say, you guys are on a live show?" She seems to recover herself a bit after seeing these cops getting exposed publicly.

  "Fuck!" He cursed loudly and signaled his buddies to get Fsh into their car and drive away. Before leaving, he warned us once again, "You better delete the video if you know what's good for you..."

  "Look at this, they even threatened us. How we trust cops? hing we know, they will try to pin something on our heads. Guys, spread this video as far as possible. Don't fet to tag the poliissioner, New York Times, and Daily Bugle..." Liz ignored him and provoked everyog us live.

  I looked around. Ah, cssiew Yorkers, enjoying the show. Now they are praising us and some even g like retards.

  "What the hell are you all looking at and g at? None of you came to help when I was in danger," Liz snapped angrily. She must be really pissed because I could see tears f in her eyes.

  Hearing that, everyoopped g awkwardly a silently.

  Seeing Liz g, I hugged her gently and forted her, "Shh... Never mind them. e o me get you home." I whispered softly to Liz.

  She nodded weakly and hugged me tightly. Seeing this, I smiled bitterly. Fuck! I feel like an ass now. I could have stopped Fsh before he spped her. I could have interrupted it earlier, but... These feelings in this 'Peter's' body... The fshes of time when she and Fsh used to bully and hit him...

  These feelings of anger and hate towards Liz kept me hesitating... I thought I was over it, but I just... It's hard to expin...

  But now seeing her g and hugging me helplessly... Ah, fuck it. I 't bme her anymore. Fsh bullied her too... I think it's about time to bury the hatchet...

  Anyway, we walked to Liz's apartment in silence. Soon, we reached her pce.

  "You saved me twiow," Liz said gratefully after unlog the door to her pce. She then turned around to face me and tinued, "Peter Parker, why do you always save me? Even though I was cruel to you, yet you helped me both times without thinking twice... Why?" She asked me teary-eyed.

  Ah, shit. This is awkward...

  "Maybe you looked so good in this blue dress that when I saw you in that situation, I just couldn't hold myself bad there I was, saving your beautiful ass," I joked hoping to lighten up the mood.

  Liz ughed hearing my joke. "Really? Just because I looked good in a blue dress? No hidden agenda? Wait! You..."

  "Well, I gotta go now... You take some rest..." Shit! I said the same thing to her back then in Spiderman suit. Just don't ask. Fet it!

  Liz stood there as I turned around to leave.

  Suddenly, she grabbed my arm and pulled up closer to me.

  "Thank you..." Liz kissed me on my lips and rushed inside.

  I froze there for a moment to process what just happened. I touched my lips and mumbled, "Damn!" I shook my head and walked away with a smile. I didn't see that ing. Well, now to deal with Fsh's aunt and family. I'm sure she's going to call me and she will try to butter me up. But, that fucker is better behind bars than outside.

  [3rd person POV]

  [Liz's room]

  As soon as Liz entered inside, she locked the door and leaned against the door. 'I just kissed Parker?! Why did I do that? Why did I kiss him? Was it because he saved me twio! I mean, yes. But, it's not only that...'

  Liz touched her lips which touched Parker's and blushed deeply. Her heart started beating fast remembering how Peter protected her and helped her today.

  'He protected me despite knowing how cruel I was to him. Damn you, Parker. Why do this to me? I... Shit!" She dashed and jumped on the bed, burying her fato the pillow.

  She screamed loudly in her head, 'Why does my heart beat so fast whenever I remember Peter? Shit! Since when? Did I develop feelings for Parker? No way! I still hate him for stealing that internship... Besides, I like Spiderman...'

  Liz grabbed her pillow and buried her face deeper into it in frustration. "Ughhh..." She rolled around the bed restlessly uo accept the fact that she might like Peter.

  "Humm..." She sat up on the bed and leaned against the bed frame, hugging her pillow. Peter's words kept repeating inside her mind. Spiderman also said the same exact thing that Peter told her today. She jumped down from the bed and walked toward the mirror, "Do I really look good in blue dresses?" Liz looked at herself wearing the blue dress in the mirror and sighed.

  "Parker, who are you really? Why do I feel attracted to you tely?" Liz mumbled softly, toug the mirror. "And why did you say the same thing that Spiderman said? Are you...? Hahahaha! No, it 't be. I'm just overthinking. There's no eter Parker is Spiderman... Right?"

  She closed her eyes and remembered how Spiderman saved her that night. A tingliioed in her heart remembering that night. She touched her chest and muttered softly, "Could it be...? No, no, no, no... I must be overthinking. It's impossible that Peter Parker is Spiderman..." She de repeatedly, shaking her head.

  She then grabbed her phone and scrolled through Peter's Instagram and Twitter pages.

  "Haaa..." She slumped ba the bed and began to swing her legs restlessly. Her heartbeat increased looking at Peter's pictures. "Parker... Ahh! All these nerdy stuffs you posted here... Prosthetigineering... Bioengineering... Quantum Physics... Nuclear physics... Just what the hell have you been doing after dropping out of school?" She wondered as she tio scroll down.

  There wasn't anything other than all those theories that went right over her head, not a single photo or pictures of his girlfriend or aed to him on his social media ats. Not even a selfie of him other than the profile picture.

  "No girlfriends..." She mumbled.

  'Wha-' She sat up straight, "Why the heck am I ied in his life or if has a girlfriend or not? Fuck! I kissed him just like that and now, I'm creeping around his social media like a stalker trying to gain information oarget... Ah! What should I do? It was a reflex and my first kiss... I... "

  With plicated feelings tangled up in her heart, Liz id back down on her bed and stared bnkly at the ceiling, muttering, "Parker..." She doesn't know what to do now. The feelings she gets when she works with Spiderman on rare occasioing videos are kinda different than when she's with Peter. Although she hasn't spent much time with Peter, thinking back about all those moments makes her heart beat fast.

  Liz remembered those days wheer got bullied but still mao pick himself up with a smile every day. She remembers how Fsh and she bullied him by posting those embarrassing photos online, yet he never shed out or bmed anyone. Instead, he picked himself up and worked harder every day.

  Although she bullied Peter, she secretly admired him for his perseverand hard work. But she was too afraid and deo gather up the ce and stop bullyier due to peer pressure. Thinking about all those memories made Liz cry silently.

  "Fuck! I don't know what to do..." She sighed.
