Y/N Stark and Peter Parker used to be inseparable. Best friends first, then a couple, they once thought they would be together for good. Until they weren’t. Their breakup wasn’t caused by a lack of love. It came after too many arguments, canceled plans, and feelings of being neglected. During their final argument, Peter said something he immediately regretted—that being her boyfriend felt like another responsibility he couldn’t handle. Y/N never forgot those words. After they broke up, she put distance between them. She still loved Peter, but she refused to risk feeling unwanted again. Months later, they’re still surrounded by the same people at the Tower. Y/N is closer than ever with her best friend Yelena, while Peter relies on Ned and MJ to help him pretend he’s completely over his ex. Neither is. Peter becomes quietly jealous when other people show interest in Y/N, while Y/N tries not to react whenever Peter talks to another girl. Tony and Pepper notice the tension but refuse to interfere, while Yelena, Ned, MJ, and Aunt May slowly realize that the two of them are still carrying feelings they never actually let go of. With Morgan innocently treating Y/N and Peter like they’re still a couple, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible. They still love each other. They just don’t know how to admit it without reopening the wounds that made them let go in the first place.
