"You sound really confident."

"I am extremely confident." 

"Why? You've never met the guy."

"— I can show you why tonight, if your parents won't randomly check up on you in the middle of the night, but not when my parents are around." 

"They do sometimes but I just got a job offer from Asher Stark so I'm inclined to take risks."

Another hug. Sasha presses their foreheads together. "I love you." 

"I love you too. Let's cuddle and talk about things that aren't my powers?"

Yes. They should definitely cuddle and talk about things that aren't Lev's powers. 

He waits until 1 am to put on the suit and swing to Lev's house and knock on the window. 

Lev opens the window and then stares.

"Hi. Can I come in?" 

"It's. Probably safer if I come out."

(Sasha's voice, that's Sasha's voice--)

"I would rather not take the mask off outside and if I get seen here it could make things hard for you in ways that have nothing to do with your parents, but we can chat on the fire escape if that's okay with you." 

He climbs onto the fire escape.

"You. You don't have to take the mask off. I know what your voice sounds like."

"Yeah." He sounds incredibly affectionate. "I'd kiss you, but. Mask. Thank you again for the help with the fansite, by the way." 

He looks like there are four or five different things he wants to say but the one that escapes his lips is:

"You saved my life."

"And you saved mine. Thank you." 

"No, you actually saved my life." He rests his head against Sasha's shoulder. "When Doc Ock attacked this neighborhood six months ago, he pulled off a chunk of a building and it was going to fall on me and I thought. I thought I was going to die and I'd never had a real friend or kissed anyone or seen the Grand Canyon or done anything other than go to school--"

Lev needs to be hugged. 

"If you hadn't posted that information about Doc Ock publicly, nobody would have come and I would be dead and I would never have had a real friend or kissed anyone or seen anything outside of New York and my family might never have found out what happened to me. You saved my life too." 

"I guess we're even." His laugh is half-hysterical.

"Guess we are! — there are. Kind of a lot of things I need to tell you about now." 

"I don't understand why you'd want to date me if you're even not-quite-dating Asher Stark."

"For starters we are no longer not-quite-dating, because I told him about the fifteen thing. Hopefully in a few years we can actually for real date. You don't have to take the page down, it's great. But, also, you're adorable and you pay attention and I like you a lot completely independently of whether Asher is in the picture, those things have nothing to do with each other. 

Um. What else. Family issues was a euphemism for superhero stuff, my family really is great, but they have no idea I'm Spiderman and I don't intend to tell them until I have to." 

There are so many things to respond to in that set of statements. Lev settles on, "I'm glad your family is okay, it was really pretty worrying that your family issues might result in you getting broken ribs that my power says are from a fight." 

"— Oh, right, I can't hide that I'm injured from you. I love you. I'm sorry I worried you but there aren't very many un-worrying ways to explain being injured all the time." 

"I'm glad I know what to worry about even though I'm going to be so worried all the time now."
