_________________________________________________

Two days after your chat with Spider-Man on the roof, Peter walked out of English and into the hallway of midtown high. He was still reeling from everything that happened yesterday. How you had confided in him, how you had loved him for the last 10 years, how it was Tom’s idea to make him jealous, and how it was working. He had to find Tom and find out the sudden interest in Y/N.

It wasn’t that hard to find him, since he was with you and his friends with his arm around your waist. Even though he knew you and Tom were doing it on prepose, it still got his blood boiling. “Tom.” He said walking up behind the two of you, causing Y/N to jump a little at the sound behind her. You both turned around to face him.

“What do you want Parker?” He asked slightly annoyed and amused at the same time, pulling you closer to him than you were before.

Peter saw him do that and was livid but did his best to hide it, that should be his arm around your waist, not Tom’s. “I need to talk to you.” Peter said. “Alone.” He stated looking at you. Tom just scoffed.

“Anything you say to me, you can say it in front of my date.” He replied squeezing your waist causing you to yelp in surprise. You looked so uncomfortable under his touch. You tried your best to hide it, your best wasn’t good enough. Peter could see right through your act.

Your face held a look that longed for Peter’s touch. It hurt him just knowing how much you loved him.

Peter looked into your soft Y/E/C eyes and saw nothing but sadness and regret. “Actually, I can’t. Please?”

Tom looked surprised, Peter was BEGGING. Looks like all Tom had to do was show his true feelings for Y/N and it did the trick. Peter led him out of the hallway and into the boys bathroom. “What’s up?”

“You and Y/N is what’s up.” Peter flat out said.

“What does that matter to you Parker? You have Liz.”

“Yes, I asked Liz out, but that doesn’t mean-“

“Doesn’t mean what?! Huh Parker!?” Tom said striding closer to Peter. “Doesn’t mean Y/N can go out with anyone she wanted? Say yes to someone who DIDN’T use HER perfect ask on SOMEBODY ELSE while she was force to fucking watch and get her heart ripped out?!” Hearing that from Tom broke Peter’s heart. He realized how awful of a friend he’s been, and just how much he loved Y/N.

“Tom.” Peter called as he watch led Tom lean against a stall and run his hands through his brown mop of hair.

“What.” He sneered back, his eyes meeting Peter’s. Tom’s once warm brown eyes, were now cold and dark. Noticing this Peter pieced everything together, why Tom was so keen on making him jealous by acting like a couple.

“You love Y/N. Don’t you?” Peter said in a quiet voice, so soft tom almost missed it. Tom just stayed silent. He didn’t even need to say anything for Peter to know the answer. “You do.” He said finally said with a hint of sorrow.

Tom looked down, unable to meet Peter’s eyes anymore. “Ya I- I do. I really do.” Tom was finally admitting his feeling for you out loud. This project meant more to him then your and Peter combined could even imagine. “What about you mate?” He asked out of no where. “Do you love her?”

“Of course I love her! She been my best friend for-“

“No. I meant, do you love her.”

“Yes.” Peter said as he released a breath he didn’t realized he had been holding and swallowed dryly. He had finally admitted his feelings towards Y/N. He loved you. Tom smirked when Peter finally said that.

“What do you love about her?”

“I love everything about her man. I love the way here eyebrows knit together when she’s working on math, the little victory dance she’d do whenever she beat beat me in halo or Mario kart at the arcade. Or when she uses him as a pillow during your movie nights.” Peter smiled as he continued. “I love how she always smells like flowers when you hug her, or how her “safe spots” are usually the unsafest spots ever.” He laughs at the irony. “Or how whenever I get great news, she’s always the first person I want to tell because she’d always insist we celebrate. But mainly I love her because she’s my best friend, my rock, one of the only people in this world I’d trust with my life.” He continued on breathing heavily. “I love her Tom.”

Tom smiles to himself proud of his work here. He finally got Peter to admit his feeling for Y/N, and she’ll be happy. Even though he’ll be crushed. But that’s the thing about loving someone right? You’ve got to put their happiness first, and that’s exactly what Tom was doing. Putting Y/N’s happiness first. He walked towards the bathroom door before stopping and turning around to look at Peter. “You do realize you’ve got to tell her right?” Peter nodded.

“Take care of her at homecoming please? She means the world to me, even though it took me this long to realize it.”

“Anything for her.”

“And please don’t tell her about this? She deserves someone anyone better than me.” Peter painfully asked Tom.

“I Promise.”

*at your apartment*

After Tom dropped you off you finished what small amount of homework you had. It was finally homecoming weekend and you still didn’t have a dress. You pulled out your phone and texted Peter knowing he’d be done with his by now.

You

You busy right now?

Before you could even set you phone back down you heard a familiar ping! You look at your phone to see it’s Peter, your face broke out into a grin when you saw his name light up your phone.

Two metre Peter

I just finished my homework so not really why?

You

Can you come with me to get my dress for homecoming please!? 😁🙏🏼

Two metre Peter

Dress shopping? Really?

You

PRETTY PLEASE!? 😁❤️🙏🏼

Two metre Peter

But. It’s. Dress. Shopping.

You

I’ll get you, a #5 with extra pickles smushed down real flat from Delemar’s.

Two metre Peter

🤤🤤🤤 you know me to well my sweet Y/N

You

Yes I do. A fact that I’m very proud of. 😜😋

Two metre Peter

I’ll be at your window in 5.

You

😘❤️ thank you Two metre Peter

Two metre Peter

Oh fuck off 😂🖕🏼

You

Awe come on! Don’t be like that, I know you love me. 😂😘

He didn’t answer after that, which was sort of odd. He would normally say something like “uh huh sure” or “in your dreams.” You heard a familiar ping pulling you out of your thoughts.

Two metre Peter

Actually I can’t sorry.

You Wait what!? Why? ☹️

Two metre Peter

May needs me. I’m sorry.

You didn’t answer. You knew May didn’t come home for at least another couple of hours. Why did lie to you? What was he hiding? You decided not to pressure him and called Ned.

*at the dress shop*

Everyone you asked said no to coming with you or were just busy with their own things, so you had to ask the one person you haven’t yet. Tom. He surprisingly said yes. “What did you and Peter talk about earlier?” You asked through the curtains of the dressing room.

“We just talked about homecoming and how it’s in a day.” He said leaning against the wall looking at different types of corsages and boutonnieres. He settled on a simple single white rose with small flowers and the color of those flowers will match your dress.

“Okay what to you think of this one?” You said coming out and look at the mirror. You’re in a white satin, two piece, strapless mermaid dress with big ruffles on the bottom of the skirt. Your eyes meet Tom’s face to see him just simply shake his head.

“No.”

“No? Why it’s a nice dress.”

“Y/N, it looks like you’re standing behind a really fat chicken.” He laughs making his way to a brown velvet lazy boy.

“Do I really?” You sighed at his laugh. You go back in to change into the next dress. It’s a long flowey dress that’s colors kinda looks like the camouflage you would wear when you go hunting, and has a slit in the middle of the front of the skirt in between your legs. When you come out you turn to see Tom chuckling slightly as he shakes his head.

“Really?” He asked raising both eyebrows.

“What’s wrong with this dress?”

“Are you going on a hunt before homecoming?”

“Why don’t you go and pick a dress for me since you’re laughing at all my choices.” You said as you walk back through the curtain. You instantly regretted that.

“Fine. ” He was gone for 10 minutes. “Are you ready for your perfect dress?” He said before slipping a black halter two piece bodycon dress with roses embroidered on the sides of the skirt and top that would have stopped just barely under her ass. You laughed when you saw it, not even trying it on you slipped it right back out of the curtain. “Damn.” He said quietly. “You can’t blame a guy for trying.”

“Actually yes I can.” You said peaking your head out of the curtain and holding out your middle finger so he could see before disappearing back into the curtain. “Okay this is the last one. What do you think?” You walk out in a short strapless ivory tulle dress with light blue lace covering the bodice and a little bit of the skirt. Your eyes meet Tom’s through the mirror. You raise an eyebrow waiting to hear his thoughts. He’s simply to stunned to speak, he just gives a simple nod. You notice this and turn around. “Really? This is it?”

“Yes. You look beautiful Y/N.” He said standing next to you in front of the mirror. He felt the tips of his eyes start to burn and he could see his cheeks start to turn pink in the mirror. Tom wanted nothing more then to hold you right there, but you both agreed that you’d acted like a couple at school only. He still couldn’t believe he was going to take Y/N THE Y/N Y/L/N to homecoming. The girl he’s had a crush on since 7th grade. Even back then he knew you were the most beautiful girl, and still is easily surpassing Liz Allen.

This act they’ve put on at school may have been for their project, but he’d be lying if he wasn’t planning on enjoying every moment he had with her until this is over and she finds out how Peter really feels about her. “Are you okay? You look pale.” You said coming out of the dressing room, the dress you just picked was draped over your arm. Tom just nods in response not saying anything until you both reach the cash register.

“Hey can I ask you something?”

“I don’t see why not.” You simply say as you check out.

“Why did you ask me to come with you? Why not ask Peter?”

You bit your lip, unsure if you should tell him or not. You ultimatly decide to tell him, maybe it can help with the project. “I did. He was the first person I asked, and he agreed. But then very quickly changed his mind.”

“What made him change his mind?”

“I don’t know. I asked him and told him I’d buy him food, he said yes, I called him ‘two metre Peter’, he told me to ‘fuck off’, and I told him that I knew he loved me. Then he just canceled.” You said looking at Tom. “He said it’s because his Aunt May needed him.”

“Maybe she did n-“

“No. He lied to me. I know he lied to me because May doesn’t get home until 7.” You looked at your phone revealing the time. “It’s 6:30 right now.” You say as you proceeded to thank the store clerk and taking the dress from him. “Why did he lie to me? Does he not want to be my friend anymore?” You said, eyes glued to the ground as you walked out of the store.

Tom bit his lip. He knew why Peter lied to her. He got scared when she told him she knew he loved her, even though she probably said it thousands of times to him. Tom felt something twist in his stomach for the first time this week. Tom felt guilty. Guilty of coming between these two. (even though he kinda hoped this would happen) Guilty of wanting Y/N for himself. Guilty for suggesting this for the project.

Guilty for the mistake he made and still was making.

[therainewhispers]

Kara sending Mon-El away DOES NOT compare to Sanvers. At all. There is no comparison to be made. The Danvers sisters dynamic obviously needs to be discussed before we enter season 3. 

1.) Kara losing her boyfriend =/= Alex losing her girlfriend.

Kara has had various other relationships and has other good non-romantic relationships. Kara has a mentor in Cat Grant, a best friend in Winn AND Lena, James, CLARK, Barry, Lois and Lucy. A mom in Eliza, a pseudo-father figure in J’onn and she has the Allura AI. Oh, and the biggest one: Kara has Alex. Kara has all of these people that love her and want to support her and wish only the best for her.

Alex on the other hand, let’s examine her relationships with other people. She has Maggie, “Ride or Die” Sawyer, Eliza, and J’onn. All of her other relationships are strictly professional (Vasquez, Lucy) or are Kara’s friends (Winn, James). WIth Maggie, “I finally got her to be herself, Kara,” Alex bares her soul. She’s all in and has everything to lose, “Marry me, please.” With Eliza, Alex constantly feels like she’s failing. She literally went to medical school (compromising her mental health with the stress obviously) because that’s what Eliza expected of her. I will delve into the can of worms that is the “weight of the world” responsibility that Alex has had to shoulder since she was a child in another point. Alex’s relationship with Eliza is strained at best. Also side-note, ouch at Alex losing Jeremiah again, one of the few important people Alex has in her life. Alex’s relationship with J’onn was more mentor-mentee and professional before it was revealed he is an alien in season one. After that, we see the relationship develop and progress to where J’onn is a pseudo-father figure to Alex. But they’re still boss-employee, don’t forget that. The bond there does not constitute a healthy outlet in which Alex can express her feelings and frustrations. He is her boss after all. You may think that like with Kara, I’ll add that Alex has Kara, but you’re mistaken. Kara has Alex, Alex doesn’t have Kara. Which makes my next point.

2.) The rift between the sisters has always been there.

Their relationship is so one-sided that it’s more frustrating than laughable. Alex does anything and everything for Kara, hell, the pilot episode has Alex picking out clothes for Kara’s date even though her flight is in a few hours! Kara admits herself that everything has always been about her and that there’s been no room for Alex. Kara didn’t even know why Alex and Vicky had a falling out! I sincerely doubt that Kara knew anything about Alex’s frustrations while in medical school. I don’t know about the rest of the world, but the closest person I have to a sibling hears everything about me (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and vice versa. I’m not saying immediately after it happens but eventually we do share everything with each other. I’m not blaming Kara for immediately latching onto Alex and trying to preserve as much of Krypton as she could, I am however blaming the Danvers parents for encouraging and enabling the behavior. No one should ever have the entire life of another person depend solely on them, that puts an ENORMOUS amount of pressure on the person that is being relied upon. Alex literally entered the Black Mercy AND flew Kara’s pod into space because she thinks Eliza would never forgive her if she allowed Kara to get hurt (whoo at that backlash in season 1 after Kara becomes Supergirl and Alex is afraid of what Eliza would say while Kara says not to worry and then Eliza tears Alex a new one. Makes you wonder what all Kara has missed in her obliviousness.)

Kara states while under red kryptonite that Alex has always has been jealous of Kara which I 100% believe to be true. Kara received special attention and care from Eliza and Jeremiah and never had to take the blame for any of her actions. What sibling wouldn’t hold resentment? Especially once it was revealed that Jeremiah was blackmailed into joining the DEO because of Kara which resulted in his (not really) death. That had to sting and speaking of death, Alex literally killed Kara’s aunt that she was slowly converting to the good side. Twin sister that literally looked identical to Kara’s biological mother. This was never actually resolved by the show.

We saw in a flashback that Alex was punished for Kara’s actions unfairly because, seriously, Alex was just a teenager. From what can be inferred, Kara ruined Alex’s social standing in school (which sounds petty but actually can be the cause of a lot of psychological distress) and also someone makes a comment about how Alex should know how dangerous aliens/Kara can be, which another flashback to the beach implies that Alex was injured from the explosion AND also that Kara probably accidentally injured Alex multiple times in their childhood.

3.) Kara is afraid of “losing” Alex and repeatedly lashes out and causes Alex to feel guilty for anything she does that doesn’t pertain to Kara.

I could quote so many things but I feel like this point is pretty universally understood. I will point out the manifested guilt Alex has from both Eliza and Kara: “I was happy for five minutes!” Yeah, okay so it wasn’t the best move for Alex to decide to go to her favorite band’s concert on the Earth birthday in which Kara had finally been on Earth longer than Krypton (kinda insensitive) but if we’re being honest, it’s not like Kara would’ve been THAT upset normally. She literally made the plans THAT morning to try and distract herself. I could make a whole other post highlighting how the absence of Cat Grant, the sudden missing time due to vigilante shenanigans with Winn and James, and the sudden stop of 24/7 care by Alex turned Kara towards Mon-El in the first place but this isn’t that post.

Kara making Alex feel guilty for having another person in her life is extremely manipulative. I’m sure Alex lost a lot of quality sister time once Kara became Supergirl but she never seems to complain about that. Alex having another person in her life shouldn’t cause Kara to constantly play the “Maggie” card. The rift between Kara and Maggie due to both their connections with Alex and in their professional lives is yet another thing I could write an exposé on. Kara clearly doesn’t like Maggie and the feeling is mutual, they’re just civil because Alex desperately wants them to be. Will the show ever resolve the tension? Doubtful, it’ll just be another unexplored plotline.

Alex shouldn’t have to feel guilty for finally having someone she can release her frustrations with, Alex has clearly been lighter since dating Maggie. They’re good for each other. Unlike Kara and Mon-El who consistently bring out the worst in each other. Kara is jealous that Alex isn’t 100% focused on her AND that she has a healthy relationship. It’s nasty that Kara is intent on destroying Alex’s relationship due to misplaced anger and jealousy and that’s the tea on that.

Also, Alex literally had no one before, she couldn’t even Tell Kara or Eliza about the DEO. That’s a lonely life. And Alex based her entire life around Kara and Kara was willing to just drop it all and go live with Clark, completely abandoning Alex and making her feel like she wasn’t enough and not “family” (which obviously Alex already has issues with feeling inadequate.) Tell me that isn’t ugly.

I could continue but I just wrote this in between classes and have to go to class now so.

Tl;dr The Danvers sisters have always had unresolved tension and resentment towards each other. Kara needs some emotional development and needs to stop unleashing all of her anger onto Alex. It’s ugly that they’re going to try and parallel Karamel and Sanvers when the ships are completely different.
