A little friendly competition is always a good thing. Especially when it happens to be with your roommate.
You and Nancy Wheeler have been roommates coming up on a year now. That's actually where you were on your way to right now - your guys' apartment to have an anniversary dinner together. You were running late due to your Spider-Woman duties. Of course, Nancy didn't know you were Spider-Woman so you'd have to come up with an excuse for why you were late.
Part of your guys' competition had to do with Spider-Woman. She would write articles for the Daily Bugle and you would provide the photos, and you guys tried to see what James Jonah Jameson would like more - the article or the photos. You guys also competed in school and game nights. Pretty much everything really.
You guys had a fun relationship. Grudging friends, coworkers, roommates, co-students. In all honesty, you had a thing for Nancy Wheeler. But you didn't tell her for a few reasons. One: you were scared or potentially screwing things up between you two. And two: Spider-Woman couldn't have a girlfriend!
That didn't stop you from acting like a lovesick fool on occasion though.
"Honey, I'm home!" You call out as you enter the apartment with some flowers.
