I was studying for a test, and it was already late. The words on the page were getting blurry, and my fingers could barely hold the pen anymore. I looked out the window, looking at the orange hue of the streetlights lighting up what was below.

I saw a person walking. Nothing but a blurry outline, though. I didn't know who it was. Ah, whatever...

I laid my head on my desk, my eyes closing. A little nap wouldn't hurt...

A couple minutes later, my eyes started to open slightly. I could see something large hovering above me, which didn't concern me, until...

I looked up, and it was a person. Well, wearing some sort of red and black suit...?

They were perched on my window like a bird, and seemed to get startled when I lifted my head. I'm surprised they could even see me, with the costume covering their whole face too.

"Shit, uh-- go back to sleep, you're dreaming."

They said. The voice was familiar, but I ignored it.

"Who..what are you doing....?"

I groan, barely awake.

"Nothing..! I'm not..uh, I'm not some creep, I swear. I'm spiderman."

He says. At first I'm suspicious, but I remember that there's been odd sightings of an individual wearing a spiderman suit in Shibuya recently, and...they're not a fraud. As in, they have webs and super strength, and they've also been fighting off anomalies. It's...strange, but admirable. I always questioned who was behind the mask, so without thinking...

I pull off his mask. And the face that stares back at me is none other than my best friend...

I almost forget to breathe. They look panicked, but eventually just give up and smile.

"Uh...surprise. Please don't ask me any questions. Come on, let's get you to bed."

They say with a hushed tone. I don't even get the chance to protest before they climb off my windowsill and pick me up, placing me into bed.

"This stays between us, okay?"

...are the last words I hear before passing out.

When I wake up, I look around. There's no signs of entry through my window..oh. It was a dream. Of course it was a dream. God, of course it was a dream. I mean, in what world would my best friend also happen to be spiderman? Not in this one, at least. Yet I still find a part of me that so badly wanted it to be real..
