A canon-compliant drabble on The Amazing Spider-Man #106.
Gwen was outside her apartment, waiting for Peter to pick her up. She wore a red and black striped blazer with matching shorts, a black blouse and white and black hat.
"Gwendy! Do you haveta look so voomy? I'm only human!" Peter teased, wearing his best threads for their date.
"Don't fight it, Man-O'-Mine! You male-me female- that's the name of the game!" The blonde replied confidently.
"The name of the game is love, lady! I'm off my rocker over you!" Peter responded enthusiastically and the author assumes Gwen kisses Peter, or just intensely eyefucks him, holding the back of his head and staring at his lips lustfully.
"Careful, darling! I'll think you're trying to tell me something!" The blonde warned him.
Peter and Gwen were out, Gwen tightly snuggled against Peter and his arm draped across her shoulders. "Well, where'll we go tonight, ma'am? The Garden of Eden? The moon? You name it!"
"I- thought we'd drop in and visit Flash! He hasn't looked well since he returned from Viet Nam." Gwen smiled
"Flash?" Peter asked. "But- But this is supposed to be our date, honey!"
Peter and Gwen were outside Flash's apartment door, Peter was miserable about the whole ordeal, his back to the Flash's door, and crossing his arms like a frustrated child.
"Oh, we've a whole lifetime ahead of us, Pete! I've been worried about Flash! And you be nice to him when he comes to the door, hear?" Gwen reminded him before knocking on the door.
Flash opened the door a short distance, looking tense. "Who's th-? Gwen! Parker!"
"Hi, handsome! We were in the neighborhood, so we thought we'd pop in."
"Oh- Sure. Eh, come in-." The blond conceded reluctantly.
Peter and Gwen entered, Peter growing more worried at Flash's state by now, seeing what Gwen was talking about.
"Flash, what is it? What's the matter? Is there anything we can do?" Gwen asked, half desperately.
"Nah- I'm okay! Honest!" Flash blatantly lied, rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess it's just been tough- Getting used to being a civilian again."
"Are you sure that's all?" Peter asked tensely.
"It's all! It's all! Stop bugging me, will ya? Do I haveta do a song and dance every time I see somebody?" Flash retorted hotly.
"No, Flash, of course not! We- Only meant-" Gwen tried.
"I think we better be going now." Peter said reluctantly.
Peter and Gwen had left, and weren't able to stop thinking about Flash's behavior.
"You were right, Gwendy! There is something wrong with him. He's just not the old Flash."
"I know, Pete! But- What can it be?" Gwen asked hopelessly.
"Do you think it has something to do with- the war?" Peter asked.
Peter and Gwen were at a war movie, because nothing eases tensions better than Suffering. Or maybe it's a western film which can also be Suffering.
Gwen had her head resting against Peter's shoulder
"It's hard to say, honey! Anyhow, let's concentrate on the picture." Peter concluded a weirdly long time after Gwen's initial question.
Peter was quiet for the rest of the movie,
The movie was over by now, and the author assumes they were getting a quick cup of coffee.
"Gwendy, why are you so... interested in Flash?" Peter finally asked.
"I'm not, Pete! I'm just worried about him! There's a difference, man!" Gwen replied intently.
Now they were outside an antique store.
"He's a friend, darling! Just like Harry-and Randy-and Mary Jane! If something's wrong with a friend, I'm unhappy about it! Aren't you?" Gwen asked, downtrodden.
"Wow, Miss Stacy! I suddenly feel lower than a worm's belly! I used to think I just loved you for your looks-" Peter had taken Gwen into his arms, and dipped her romantically. "But, y'know something? Your soul's as beautiful as your face, and that's saying a-"
"Oh, shut up, you chatterbox- and kiss me!" Gwen replied and the two shared a passionate kiss.
Fun Fact: Fanfiction almost always depicts Peter as "painfully conflicted" between Gwen and MJ, but when Peter and Gwen were together, he was nothing but loyal to Gwen. MJ would shamelessly flirt with him, and Peter would always turn her down. He was actually annoyed by her attempts.
