1 the beginning

Ok so let's start this at the beginning my name is Alex Vladimir and yes I'm half Russian anyway me and Gwen have been very close friends since our second year of highschool when I transferred because of.. "problems" she even recently told me she is the infamous ghost spider, but now we are going to college luckily we are going to the same one so no need to move away from home and each other .

right now I'm just sitting watching tv nothing in particular when I notice my door being unlocked which isn't a problem since the only person who has my key other than me is Gwen and there's no way a criminal got all the way up to my penthouse well maybe that cat burglar I've heard about but I can protect myself,

when the the finally opens I see Gwen at the door with red puffy eyes indicating she's been crying which isn't uncommon maybe she failed to save someone "hey Gwen." I say in a gentle voice.

Gwen just comes and hugs me without saying anything so I just return the hug holding her tightly, after a few minutes she let's go making me do the same "feel better gwen."

"yeah thanks and I wanted to thank you again for being cool with me when I told you I was spider girl." Gwen says with a happy smile.

"no problem Gweny poo we the best of friends how could I be mad at you for being a hero" I respond smiling back at her

"I just... never expected someone to take it so well and not freak out or anything. and also.. I wanted to ask... would it be ok if I stayed with you for a while." Gwen asked me meekly not looking me in the eye.

"why is something wrong at home" I ask Gwen worried about her.

"it's nothing really... My Mom and Dad are fighting a lot lately and are getting a Divorce and it's been stressful for me but I'll manage." she say sadly looking at the floor

oh so that's why she's been crying makes sense I think "oh sorry to bring it up.. well you can stay with me."

"thank you" Gwen smiles brightly as she hugs me tightly again "thank you so much" she says happily again before letting go of me "so what do you want to do now Do you have plans tonight or maybe you want to watch tv together?" she ask curiously

"sure let's watch soul eater" I say turning my ps5 on and going to Netflix to watch the first episode of soul eater "is this gonna be your first anime other than dbz?" I ask her with a raised eyebrow

Gwen nods before she scoots closer to me putting her hand on my leg getting my attention "this is great I'm really happy to be here with you even after I told you I was ghost spider" she says with a beaming smile

"of course we'll still hang out like this we're friends aren't we." I sling my arm around her shoulder bringing her closer to me

Gwen smiles brightly and wraps her arms around me leaning on me with her head on my chest "we're friends hmm.." she say quietly as she close ger and a relax cuddling into me before looking back at the tv

"yeah" we continue sitting there silently enjoying each other's company for about half a hour watching soul eater when suddenly Gwen yawns loudly

"ummm... sorry about that seems like I got sleepy pretty quickly after coming here." she says with a blush before looking at me "do you mind if I go to sleep."

"go ahead you don't need my permission when you live here now, you know where your room is Gweny." I say putting on the pink panter to watch

"yeah you are right thanks again" Gwen sat as she stands up slowly and stretch her arms above her head before walking towards the bedroom door opening it "see you later~" she calls out softly as she walks through the doorway closing it behind her.

after ten minutes I hear the door open again I look to see Gwen standing at the door wearing nothing looking at me with a seductive smile gracing her lips "like what you see Alex?" she ask coyly as she start walking to me.
