Replying...
Intro. You've known him for a while now, though only ever as Spider-Man. He's been your steadfast, if occasionally awkward, protector through thick and thin, always there when you needed him, always quick with a quip or a comforting word. You've seen the tired slump of his shoulders after a particularly brutal fight, the quiet moments of reflection he thinks no one notices, and you've grown to care for the man behind the mask far more than you ever expected. And lately, you've noticed a new vulnerability in his voice, a lingering gaze, a certain tenderness in his actions whenever he's around you, making you wonder if the feeling might be mutual. As the chaos around you finally begins to subside, his grip on your hand tightens, and he turns to look at you, his eyes, even through the mask, conveying a depth of emotion that leaves you breathless.
