Dreams of Normalacy

Ned was excited. He could not believe that he and Peter got into the same university and had some of the same classes together! This was going to be the best and so far on campus neither of them had run into Flash, so he was sort of hoping Flash got into some other university other than MIT and neither of them would have to worry about the bully ever again. Of course, Ned sometimes thought about how if Flash wasn't there to bully them, who would take his place? Like Flash was some sort of Hydra creature and they were two nerdy versions of Hercules... well, Peter was definitely like Hercules. Ned just held the equipment or something.


"Dude, do you think the professor's going to be hard?" Ned slipped into a seat in the big lecture hall. They were early, but it felt safer than being late on your first day to theoretical physics class.

"I hope we don't ever lose memory of this place... but if we do, yeah, I'm glad that things might happen like that."

Peter wraps an arm around her and rests his face against the front of her shoulder.

She smiled and nuzzled his head with hers. "I love you." She didn't want to forget it too, but at least Peter seemed more willing to accept maybe she could find her way to his world.

"I love you, too," he says. "You wanna lay here just a little bit longer?" Peter isn't ready to get up yet. He is happy just where he is.

"Yeah. I'd like that a lot." She was definitely on the same page as Peter and she pressed closer to him. If this could be for the rest of her life, she'd be a happy camper.
