Re: Marvel hospital: Gwen & Peter
"Does too, stubborn." They could do this back-and-forth all day, though Peter really needed to think up a nickname on the same level as 'flabby'. Teasing and laughing in a hospital, where a lot of bad things happened, probably wasn't the best idea, but at least she hadn't totally cut him out of her life like he'd been worried she might. Which meant they could hang out under different circumstances, where it was okay to have fun.
The forcefulness of her warning surprised him a little, but on this he didn't argue. He just nodded. "I won't," he promised. Gwen had reason to be more worried than usual. Caution was best, because Harry? Could be totally unpredictable, especially with the goblin serum tossed into the mix.
He pulled a face when she refused to be held accountable for his acts of kindness. "I'm blaming you anyway," he teased. In his mind, Peter didn't realize she thought things had changed. Well, okay, that wasn't completely true; he figured she still wasn't sure about him and MJ. But he'd said they weren't together, that they weren't going to be, and the only way to prove that was to... not date her. And Gwen hadn't told him there was no chance. Which had to be good, right? He grinned when she agreed, and he took the chips and water back without thinking much about MJ or taking her home. "Next Friday. Lunchtime. You want to meet there?"
