    Summary

    “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

    Peter fell quiet for a long moment, still quivering slightly. And then, barely a whisper:

    "Just . . . hold me?"

    MJ said nothing, because she was afraid of how she would sound when she spoke. Instead, she just wrapped herself fully around him, cradling him to her chest and letting him bury his face in her neck as he curled impossibly tighter into himself and into her, letting out a shuddering sigh that she felt rather than heard.

    Peter is having a rough day with his sensory issues. MJ is there to offer comfort, even if Peter hesitates to ask for it.

    Summary

    MJ’s first assessment of Peter Parker is that he’s a little weird.

    And this is perfectly normal. It’s New York. What are you gonna do?

    But there’s this itch, deep in the back of her mind. This itch that grows and grows as Peter Parker becomes a regular. MJ has dreams and thoughts and feelings that don’t make any sense, and maybe it’s the stress of senior year, the excitement of getting ready for college, but she doesn’t think so.

    Not when Ned can’t seem to stop staring at Peter Parker, either. Not when Ned finally googles him, and his search comes up empty. Not when there’s an unfinished drawing of Spider-Man in her room, the lines forming his face stopping just short of it, and he’s sitting on the roof of Midtown High, and he’s leaning forward, laughing.

    She has no idea what that last part has to do with any of it, except for the fact that there’s a laugh that drifts through the back of her thoughts sometimes, light and joyful. Except for the fact that she’s never heard Peter Parker laugh.

    In her mind, every day, the sky tears itself to pieces.

    Or,

    Bucky: "I have a great past, so I'm totally fine-" !!!!!LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND!!!!!

    Summary

    Alex knew what he’d had at home was a panic attack, or at least the very start of one. The running had helped a bit, but he could still feel the anxiety creeping up on him like thorned vines wrapped around his chest.
    He was teetering on the edge of breaking down again, and he couldn’t afford to do that in front of his friends. He knew they’d understand—they always did—but that didn’t make him feel any less guilty.

     

    Alex accidentally comes out to his parents... it goes about as well as you'd expect. At least he has Luke, Reggie, and Bobby looking out for him.

    (or, I discover Julie and the Phantoms 5 years late and decide to put poor Alex through it)
