Peter Parker reached up and unslung his mask, then crawled into the room of his girlfriend. He immediately noticed her uneasiness and tried to encourage her with a small smile. “Hey Cass.” He glanced over at the chair she motioned to and took a seat. Turning the chair around to sit in it backwards. He tried to keep the worry from showing on his face as he thought about how best to answer her question. “I just thought we needed some time together. A lot is coming up, and I don’t want to lose touch with you?”
He searched her eyes for a moment before turning to gaze out her window. There it was the night sky. He was going soon and she was staying. He hated it. Hated leaving her behind with Venom on the prowl. Hated not having her by his side with monsters trying to eat him on some stupid shield ship. But most of all he hated the distance it placed between them. They’d only been dating such short while and he was afraid this might ruin things for them. Who said being a good guy was ever easy?
