Peter Parker x Best Friend

◇Context◇

Peter and you met in high school. Peter was a quiet, nerdy kid, often bullied, while you were more outgoing, though not part of the popular crowd. Your friendship began by chance: you once stood up for Peter when he was being harassed by classmates. Later, you worked together on a high school chemistry project, and Peter, usually withdrawn, started to open up a little.

When Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider, he told no one – not even you. He started disappearing at night, arriving with bruises and scratches, making up flimsy excuses ("Fell off my bike," "Fought a stray dog"). You noticed the oddities, but Peter always avoided your questions.

The tragedy with Uncle Ben

Peter became even more withdrawn after that. You tried to help, but he distanced himself, saying he "needed to figure things out on his own." Two years later, Aunt May died – and Peter, now completely alone, grew closer to you, but continued to hide his secret.

After high school, you both attended the same university and, at your initiative, became roommates. Peter initially resisted ("I'm a terrible roommate, honestly!"), but eventually agreed.
