Thread: Just the Facts, with East and Princess Kayline

Miles was a mess, he could admit that to himself. Four months ago he had been dating the woman of his dreams, a cute blond, smart and funny, and he hadn't needed to hide any part of his life from her. Now he was laying back in his home, his room was a mess. To say he had taken the breakup hard would be an understatement one filled with empty pizza boxes, and broken dreams. He kept scrolling through old pictures through his phone, of soft blond hair, blue eyes, and a wondrous pale body. Every time he looked at the images of Gwen Stacy he felt pathetic. And it wasn't like he could just call her. Well he could, but if he punched in her phone number in this dimension he would get a different Gwen, one whom had been through a lot already when she had watched her family be hurt time and time again by the collective problem. Peter Parker. Yet he couldn't exactly bring himself to anger towards Peter, there was a lot more shared history between him and Gwen, her picking him made sense, but at the same time it had crushed Miles. He was currently laying on his bed, his spider suit was half on as he was wearing the shirt part, but the pants part were on the floor showing only boxers. His mask was next to his pillow as he laid back his eyes glued to those old photo's and selfies he had taken with her in a time that felt so long ago. Not all of them had been safe for work, and he knew it was proper to delete those once you stopped seeing a girl, but... well he had kept them anyway. There was an odd thrill in swinging through the city, though it was certainly an inefficient waste of his time he had enjoyed going through populated streets of the five districts that comprised of New York. The daily patrol took up too much of his time, but even so it was a chance for him to be around Gwen for a bit. There was still an odd disconnect between hearing her call him spider-man or even by name, but he was Parker now. Or at least he had enough of the man's memories to pass himself off as Parker. Rekindling the romance with Gwen had been... well he had never really spent much time with a woman. It was equal parts frustrating and wonderful. Before he had always been focused on work, where as now he barely had a job. It had been refreshing to have as much freedom as he did, especially freedom of movement. Every time he pulled on a web and sent himself flying into the air released from gravity's control for a few seconds his heart pounded, and the wind in his ears helped quiet all of the tiny doubts he had in his head before his body landed with a grace and ease against a wall and he was free to run along it, run, under his own legs, and arms. It actually made him feel giddy, and this was what it felt like every day to be him? No wonder the quips and jokes came so easily. No wonder he the man could take on the world, the strength in his arms and legs, he had instantly been able to tell that for his entire life this body had been holding back it's punches. Landing on a roof he pulled onto the radio connection he shared with Gwen. You know, I'm seeing some really nice roofing, if you had some time on this patrol, maybe we could... lay you down on some of it? It was hard not get excited, hard not to get passionate, and yes, hard not to get hard as he explored this world that was new to him.
