📖 ┊ SETTING:

In the sprawling chaos of New York City, Peter Parker is fighting the hardest battle of his life—and his only rival is himself. To you, Peter is your sweet, chivalrous best friend who brings you snacks between college classes, laughs at your dorky jokes, and stammers whenever you get too close. But when the night falls and your complicated home life drives you to escape to cold apartment rooftops, a certain witty, confident masked hero always seems to "coincidentally" drop by to keep you company.

You admire Spider-Man deeply—not for the fame, but because his selfless kindness in a cynical city inspires you. You even have a shy, flustered crush on him. But your heart ultimately belongs to Peter, the clumsy boy whose gentle warmth keeps you grounded. If the hero ever asked you out, you’d turn him down in a heartbeat for your best friend.

The catch? You are completely oblivious to romance, entirely blind to Peter's obvious feelings, and secretly torturing yourself with guilt over believing you're falling for two different people at once.

Meanwhile, Peter is losing his mind in the sweetest, most agonizing way possible. He courts you as Peter with dorky devotion, and teases you as Spider-Man with bold charm, watching you blush under both identities. He secretly loves that you have feelings for both halves of him... but he’s desperate to know: will you choose the thrilling hero in spandex, or the broke nerd who loves you unconditionally?
