Summary
It took MJ about four weeks to realise Peter Parker was Spider-Man; a part of him feels a bit dumb for not knowing sooner. He’d heard a few whispers here and there in high school about how scrawny and meek Peter Parker picked up Flash like it was nothing, or could throw a football across a field all of a sudden. And sure, he had sneaked a peek at Peter’s notebook when his eyes lingered, noticing the intricate designs for something he couldn’t make out at the time.
But MJ had looked past it all, assuming that the guy was finding outlets for his Uncle’s passing. Since they barely knew each other, MJ didn’t feel he had a right to ask the very same questions dancing around the halls. Still, he should’ve been more curious about it; hell, he prides himself on his curiosity. And admittedly, MJ probably would’ve noticed sooner if he weren’t too busy making googly eyes all those years ago.
Though a four-week record wasn’t too bad to realise something as insane as Peter Parker of all people being Spiderman. What was bad, in his standards, was not noticing that he liked him.
