[Western Crossover] Who Wants a Spider for a Boyfriend?

(Great news: The entire novel is finished and ready to go! Come on in!)

Yulante was born in Queens. He excelled in school from a young age, skipped grades in high school and college, and joined the government’s Seventh Research Institute after graduating. Before he was even twenty-three, he was earning over a million a year.

None of that is the point.

Someone has been stalking him lately.

When he woke up in the morning, the air was filled with someone else’s scent.

The damp warmth of another person lingered on his skin, not quite cold.

His nose, cheeks, the nape of his neck: everywhere was touched again and again, caressed with such lingering reluctance that it left a sting.

His fingers were pried apart, then gripped tightly.

The person caged him from above, like a spider weaving its web, until there was no space left between them.

Yet every time Yulante opened his eyes, there was no one there. It was as if it had all been a hallucination.

Then, one day, the intruder took his favorite cookies.

Yulante decided to catch the “thief.”

He carefully set a trap, and then

“Uh…”

Isn’t this the one who’s taken social media by storm…

“Little Spider…?”

“Hi, hi! It’s me, it’s me! How have you been? No, that’s not what I mean. We shouldn’t be meeting like this, right? Can you pretend you didn’t see me? You’ve forgotten me three times this month already… Ahhh, what are you doing? Don’t take my clothes off!”

“Let me examine you.”

“Wait, no, hold on!!!”

Peter has had something on his mind lately. He had a dream.

In it, the person he had a crush on was the biggest villain on Earth. Somehow, he summoned all kinds of bizarre creatures from another world, opening several massive holes on Earth every few days until the planet had become a playground for monsters.

Ordinary people were corrupted one by one, and there was hardly any habitable space left. No matter how hard everyone fought, they couldn’t stand up to him.

It all began when a huge explosion tore through the research institute, and the person in charge blamed Yulante for everything.

After waking up, Peter grabbed his phone in a panic.

There were only two days left!!

Only two days until the research institute exploded!

He hurried to find Yulante, only to discover that he’d… lost his memory.

Question: What should you do if the person you have a crush on is an unawakened supervillain?

An elderly gentleman, currently trying to get online with a smartphone:

1. Find him.

2. Keep an eye on him.

What if he’s lost his memory?

“…”

Wait a second. I’ll go find someone else to answer that. (Not.)
