Peter was having serious difficultly focusing in his studying.

With Gwen sitting right next to him. He couldn't help but find himself sneaking glances over to her instead of the text book he was meant to be reading. He hoped she wouldn't notice. Why did she make him so nervous?

He turned his vision, with difficulty, back down at his problem. The math one, not the Gwen one, and he found himself not caring in the slightest about how the financial increase effected x. But Gwen had wanted to study, and so they were. Besides they were only still pretty early in their relationship. Peter was hardly in the position to argue. Especially with the argument he had with her father the other night.

He'd nearly told her everything. He wanted to tell her everything but before he knew it she'd kissed him and all rational thoughts were wiped from his mind.

Gwen's phone erupted into a series of beeps. Awakening him from his thoughts, although he still found a small small etched on his face.

Gwen looked up from her phone as it continued to go off from messages from her friends, to see Peter smiling at her with a smile on his goofy face. She couldn't help but smile back.
"What're you smiling about?" She joked. "Algebra?"

Peter shook his head.
"Hardly." he replied, taking her free hand into his own.
"What is it then?" She persisted, laughing. He leaned closer.
"I was just thinking of the balcony the other night." He mumbled, looking into her eyes with happiness. She returned the look with ease.
"Yeah?" She asked softly, all of a sudden.
"Yeah." He replied, with the same delicateness in his voice.

Peter glanced down at her lips.

They were in a public library but the couple were too lost in each others eyes to notice. Peter began to lean in once more. A feeling of great compassion growing in his chest. Gwen closed her eyes.

Their lips were inches from colliding before they both pulled back with a start as Gwen's phone starting singing her ring tone. Peter pulled back from Gwen, his hand running through his hair, something he usually did when he was nervous. Even Gwen who was usually the confident one in this relationship had a pink tinge to her cheeks as she picked up her phone.

"Hello?" She asked. Peter couldn't make out the other end of the conversation. "Oh i'm actually with Peter right now." She said to her phone. Peter peaked through his hands which he'd been hiding his face in to look at Gwen. She looked back at him and smiled fondly.

Peter heard a faint, giggly laugh on the other line as she said some sort of joke or tease. At the words, Gwen became flustered and red, avoiding Peter's gaze.

He was curious about what the person was be saying. He leaned towards Gwen once more, laughing at her obvious discomfort. She chuckled and pushed him away, making sure he couldn't hear the conversation as she continued to chat.

After a few more words, Gwen excused herself and hung up the phone.

She attempted to blow off the whole ordeal (in vain) and turned back to her maths book. But after a few moments she couldn't stand the feeling of his brown eyes staring into the side of her face in amusement. She looked up at him innocently.
"What?" She asked defensively. He leaned on the table with his head rested on his hands.
"Are you going to tell me what that was all about?" He asked, laughter dancing in his eyes.
"What what was about?" She asked innocently once more.

He just looked at her. Attempting to make her crack under the pressure.

"Okay, fine." She laughed and then stopped, attempting to be serious. "But you're not going to like it" She warned. Peter shrugged and waved for her to continue.
"Ella just said that you wouldn't be so happy if you found out what I said about Spider-man last night." She said attempting to sound casual. She threw her hands up into the air in defense, "That's all."

Peter felt his gut drop, It was irrational, he knew that they couldn't possibly know he was Spider-man but he couldn't help it when his heart started pumping unnaturally fast in his chest. Why would they say he wouldn't be happy with what she'd said?

He gulped.

"So... what did you say about Spider-man last night?" He teased, straining to sound light hearted. A pink shade tinged Gwen's cheeks once more. She winced.
"Do I have to tell you?" She whined. Peter couldn't help but smile, she was just too cute for this.
"Gwen." He started.
"Fine, fine." She cut him off and sighed, seeming unsure how else to get out of it.
"I just said that when Ella and Megan were discussing the whole mysterious guy under the suit that I didn't really mind who was under it but then I may have proceeded to ad the comment that although his butt did look pretty good in spandex?" She rushed out, smiling nervously.

Peter stared back at her for a few seconds. Unsure of what to say. Did she just unintentionally compliment his lower backside? Peter blinked once.

Then he erupted into laughter. Gwen let out a sigh of relief and started laughing herself. Peter couldn't help himself. He was laughing so hard, his eyes were watering.

Gwen hit him playfully. "Oh come on, you were the one defending him the other day!"
Peter was in no form to respond. Unable to contain themselves, they were getting quite a few old looks now. He couldn't believe the hilarity of the situation.

Finally, Peter composed himself enough to look Gwen straight in the eyes. Her eyes filling with something he couldn't quite place.

"You know, you're really something Gwen Stacey." Peter whispered softly to her.
"So are you, Peter Parker." She replied.

(AN: So this is my first fan fiction here :)). I have little experience with writing so don't expect my work to be the best. I'm just doing this for fun and I've noticed there's not actually that many Peter x Gwen Fan fictions (especially recent ones) and wanted to contribute. I might keep this as just a one shot or continue. Depends on what you guys think!)
