A canon-compliant drabble on The Amazing Spider-Man #99.


Peter and Gwen had been inseparable since her return. They walked through the streets of New York City, practically on cloud nine.

"Happy, Gwendy?" Peter asked.

"Can't you tell, Man 'O Mine? I feel like I'm floating- Not even touching the ground." Gwen responded, and Peter smiled, draping his arm across her shoulders.

"You know, honey- a gal like you can be- habit-forming." Peter informed her playfully.

Gwen grinned at him. "Are you trying to tell me something, Mr. Parker?"

"You know it, lady." Peter's hand clasped Gwen's firmly. "And you also know- what I'm trying to ask- What I wanna know is- how will you feel after I ask it?" Peter stopped walking, extending his hand to cup Gwen's chin lovingly.

"What do you thin-oh!" Gwen's train of thought was cut off when Peter suddenly kissed her.

"I think you talk too much."


A few minutes later Peter had escorted Gwen home (? wherever that is now?) and he waved at her as he left. "I'll pick you up tonight, Gwendy!"

"I'll be counting the seconds!" Gwen called back, waving at him before heading inside.


Yes, apparently Gwen has her old apartment back, for reasons unknown, even though it had new attendants the day she left?

The doorbell to Gwen's apartment rang, and Gwen opened the door to find Peter outside.

"Peter! I just knew you wouldn't be late!" Gwen said enthusiastically, embracing Peter. "But why do you look so downcast?" she asked.

"I'm just disappointed, honey!" Peter confessed, sighing. "I wanted to- take you to the best place in town tonight- Give you the moon! But-"

Gwen turned her back to Peter, scoffing lightly. "Peter Parker, you're an idiot."

"What do you mean?" Peter asked.

"I'd no intention of going out! I spent all afternoon cooking dinner for us. We're staying right here." Gwen informed him, her arms settling around his back, as she beamed up at him.


Gwen stepped back, crossing her arms behind her back and bending towards him, smirking suggestively. "This is one time I'm having you all to myself."


Fun Fact: The CCA's rules prevented a lot of things, like.
Nudity in any form is prohibited. Suggestive and salacious illustration is unacceptable.
R*pe shall never be shown or suggested. Seduction may not be shown.
Sex perversion or any inference to same is strictly forbidden.

Which is why we get nothing more than hints at Peter and Gwen's sex-life but since JMS' misogynistic retcon, people think Peter and Gwen never had sex. It's lies! Also "Amazing Spider-Man (1976) Annual #9" Peter says Gwen "always was a screamer". #RetconSinsPast
