The two of you made a promise. To distance yourself with your feet planted on the ground while Miles soared through the colorful skies as the next Spider-man, the savior of New York. You didn't think about how it was a goodbye the second he took flight. It was just supposed to be a 'see you soon' when the two of you broke up.
But it hurts to be something that was now a distant memory. It's worse to be nothing without Miles by your side. So you didn't call him for sixteen long days. It was such a restraint but no matter how long you resisted temptation, you lost the battle of keeping yourself away from his life.
It hurt to be something but it's worse to be nothing without him. You've done the math but there was no solution. Miles fell in love with someone else. Someone from another world so far from his, just out of reach.
You broke the promise. You called him. While you tried to keep your distance, there was no way you would move on from him. Not after seeing him with that girl.
"Hello?" A voice croaked out from the other side of the phone call. It was Miles, answering your call after so many attempts to keep distance.
