"Hey dad." Harry greets as he enters his father's house about a half an hour later.
"Harry." Norman greets, handing Harry a bottle of whiskey. "So, you're finally dumping the cheating asshole?" He asks his son as he sits on the couch.
'Am I?' Harry truthfully asks himself as he stays silent.
"I'll take that as a yes." Norman responds. "It's such a pity because I really liked him. He was everything that I wanted for you. No matter how bad of a father I was to you, he was so perfect for you because I wanted you to have the best life that I couldn't give you."
"Dad-"
"Anyway, I have the lawyers on standby and the papers all set, if you want them."
Harry sighs as Norman walks towards his son.
"So how do you feel about this?" Norman asks as he sits down next to his son.
Harry simply starts crying.
Norman simply puts a hand on his son's shoulder.
"I hate it all." Harry says through his tears. "I just wasted so many years with someone who was trashy and no good."
"Well, if it's any consolation, I hated Wade's filthy ass." Norman states. "I should've made him eat those cum-stained sheets he left on my bed years ago."
"I know." Harry laughs through his tears. "I just wanted to be everything that all those other men weren't to Peter. Obviously, I failed big time."
"Obviously Peter likes trash." Norman says.
"That is true. At least the kids are mine."
"What?!" A shocked Norman asked. "I thought that you two were going to adopt."
"We were, but we got lucky when Peter got pregnant." Harry reveals. "In the end, we decided to drop the adoption."
"Well, it's good to know. Now, how sure are you that the kids are yours?" Norman seriously asks.
"I took three blood tests. They are all carrying our Osborn genes."
"Well that's good." Norman says.
"I think so too. I just can't believe I let myself get played again by Peter for so long." Harry says angrily as he opens the bottle. "I'm so stupid."
"I don't think you're stupid at all." Norman says. "Falling in love or being in love isn't stupid at all."
"Tell it to my heart, dad. I should've dropped him from the first time Peter cheated on me with John, but no. I was dumb deep in love with a fucking bastard." Harry sighs. "Love is stupid."
"Harry-"
"It is!" Harry counters. "I think being in love is stupid, useless, a waste of time-"
"Harry!"
"No!" Harry snaps in a hard voice.
Norman instantly shuts up.
He knows where this is going.
"Right now I'm pissed, so speaking to me is a privilege to everyone! At this rate, almost everyone has lost that privilege with me."
'Oh boy.' Norman thought.
Harry is just getting started. Anybody who knows Harry is in danger when he is angry.
"You know what makes me angry at myself, dad?"
"What would that be?"
"The first time, he just "Wanted to go out and do something by himself because we spent too much time together" and I let him go just like that since you and I went ring shopping for him."
"I remember that." Norman says remembering that day very clearly.
"Dad! I am going to propose to Peter!"
"Are you serious?" Norman happily asks his son. "Are you really serious?!"
"Yes! I even got his aunt's blessing a couple days ago when I visited her!"
"That is great!" Norman says. "Congratulations, my boy! I even approve of this one! He's the perfect one for you! The one that I always wanted for you!"
"Thanks, dad."
"Have you gotten the ring yet?"
"Not yet. I was-"
"Let's go get a ring right now!" Norman says. "I'll meet you in Manhattan in an hour or so."
"Ok. I'll see you in a bit dad."
"See ya soon, son."
"There he is!" Norman says.
"Hey, dad." Harry says, giving his dad a hug.
"So, you're getting married soon." Norman says.
"Yes, I am."
"I am really proud of you."
"I know, Norman." Harry says.
"Dad." Norman corrects.
" Norman ." Harry teases.
"Dad." Norman says with a smile on his face.
"Norman."
"Dad."
"Norman ." Harry says.
"Norman ." Norman says, hoping Harry would fall for this banter.
"Dad." Harry says.
Norman laughs when Harry calls him dad.
"No fair! You tricked me!" Harry pouts.
"And that never gets old!" Norman chuckles. "A grown man like you can never get on my level like that."
Harry pouts.
"Harry, don't pout in public." Norman says, laughing at his only child's antics.
"Fine."
"So, what kind of ring are you thinking of getting?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"Have you decided on how you are going to propose to Peter?"
"Ummmm…."
"You haven't, have you?"
"I have." Harry honestly answers.
Norman looks into Harry's eyes.
He can tell that Harry is telling the truth.
"So how are you planning to propose?"
"Well…..I'm planning on proposing to him on his birthday." Harry starts.
"That's a good present." Norman says.
"Plus a great way for Peter to enter his thirties if I do say so myself."
Norman agrees.
"Now, this is the plan. This might be far-fetched, but what if I were his gift?"
"What?" Norman asks in total surprise.
"Yeah. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now, and what if I were to come out of a big, decorated box, naked?"
Norman considers this. He thinks about it for a quick moment, but in the end, he actually likes the idea.
"Nice!" Norman tells his son. "It's definitely outside of the box, no puns intended."
Harry laughs.
"So tell me the rest of this plan."
"First, I want fly us to the Hamptons for some R&R about three days before his birthday for some quality time. And then, when we come back, I'll say that I have a 'business trip' somewhere in Florida, maybe Sarasota or Miami, but I'll actually be going to our little apartment in Manhattan for a couple hours or so to get ready for the party."
"Smart."
"I don't have to worry about the party stuff and the cake because Aunt May is going to help me out with that."
"Excellent." Norman says.
"Now, I don't know how you'll feel about this, but, the big part of this plan is that I want our friends to watch while I make love to him."
"Now, that's really outside of the box!" Norman says.
"I know." Harry brags.
"Just make sure that you are comfortable with everything, and-"
"I will, dad. I am only inviting Felicia, MJ, Flash and Aunt May."
"Good."
"I just hope that Aunt May doesn't bring an old camera."
"What?" Norman chuckles.
"She wants to record us having sex."
"I knew she was a fun lady!" Norman laughs. "Can I see the footage when it's available?"
"DAD!" Harry says, embarrassed about this topic on his sex-life with Peter.
"Okay, okay!" Norman chuckles. "Let's go ring shopping."
"What about this one?" Harry asks his dad as they are looking at a ½ CT. T.W. Enhanced Black and White Diamond Three Row Ring in Sterling Silver.
Norman hums for a moment.
"Close, but not quite." Norman tells him.
"Dad, it's the third store we've been too, and you've said no to all the rings I think that Peter would like."
"That's because I know that Peter is anything but boring!" Norman defends. "Besides, I've seen your rings and necklaces. You can choose a ring a lot better than the one you are looking at in this moment."
At this moment in time, Harry must agree with his dad.
"You're right." Harry says. "But what type of ring would suit Peter?"
"Hmmm, I feel like a white gold would work. Something that has a princess cut. Simple yet elegant and timeless."
"Something like this?" The jeweler asks Harry and his dad as he is handing both of them a Men's diamond ring, .45 carat total weight with two square cuts, in 14K white gold.
"Perfect!" Norman says staring at the ring in awe. "Peter's gonna love this!"
"It really is." Harry smiles.
Norman chuckles.
"I'll take it." Harry says the same moment Norman says-
"He'll take it."
"So, is it normal to be nervous about this?" Harry asks as he puts his clean shot glass in his dad's cupboard.
"Of course is it." Norman says taking another shot. "I almost dropped your mom's engagement ring when I proposed."
Harry chuckles.
"You'll be fine. I have faith in you."
"Thanks, dad." He says as he hugs his dad.
"Get out of here. Peter should be home soon." Norman says patting his son's back.
"Bye, dad. Thanks for everything."
They break away from each other and go their separate ways.
"The second time was when he lost our first baby when he and Wade were drunk as fuck when Aunt May and I caught them, but I forgave him. I am stupid for that and for letting them hang out together when I wasn't around."
"You are a strong man, Harry. You don't need to beat yourself up for what happened between Peter and Wade."
"Dad, there are three things that you need to know about me that you should already know. One: no one messes with me, because, two: they will always regret it, big time. Ask John about it. And three, Harry Osborn will ALWAYS be an Osborn through and through. You and I are the Osborn's who make people shit their pants, regardless of the situation. We have it all: the money, people, stings, weapons and science labs, all of it. The people outside of these walls who compete against us everyday? They are fucking terrified of us. They are outraged that we are successful businessmen in our own rights. Why? Because they have come to the realization that all those centuries of privilege as status quo are finally over since you built a multi-billion dollar corporation. Your success as the CEO was impressive, mine is barely great-"
"It is beyond impressive!" Norman counters. "You did a lot better than I could've ever imagined."
"But being president of a successful company and keeping it that way, besides being a father, is my only agenda! I fucking appreciate the fact that someone has my back at Oscorp! I want to keep the barbarians at the gate! Keep holding those walls! Keep having it all, reverse the tides of injustice, redraw the maps, flood the darkness with light, earn my place, so that bastards and useless people that can hold a title or position today, is anything but the norm?! Then people will have to stop looking at me, and start thinking of me as what I am!" Harry finishes angrily.
Norman is scared, but he has to ask-
"And what would that be?"
"Harold T. Osborn! Citizen of my World, who's the CEO of Oscorp and soon to be ex-husband of Peter Benjamin Parker. When people put their faith in me and me alone, they WILL become a monument. Ignore me? Allow anyone to come between me and the other person like Peter and Wade did, and they WILL become an asterisk."
Norman has always been proud of Harry, and this time, he is over the moon. Scared, but over the moon with Harry's new-found attitude. His little boy is no longer a push over.
"How did that cheating asshole meet that other asshole in the first place?" Norman says as he makes his way over to the liquor cabinet.
"The story that they told me was that they met at the library since Wade is horrible at anything related to math. They were probably lying to me that time too since they both lied to my face for so long." Harry snorts.
"Probably." Norman say taking out a bottle of rum from the overly ornate cabinet.
"I want to make them pay, like how John paid." Harry states. "I want them to be sorry. All I know is that I want/need to be in my kids life, however, I never want to see Peter or Wade again."
Norman notices his tone.
"Harry, you sound...dangerous right now."
"Your point?" Harry sasses defensively.
"What are you planning?"
"Aunt May did remind me that I am half Emily and half Norman Osborn."
"That can go either one of two ways." Norman treads carefully, even though he's thinking deep down, especially after his son's rant: 'This isn't going to end well. I've seen him mad before, and it's not pretty.'
One way that it can be good, is the fact that Harry can be as caring and Emily: Always ready to help out whenever she can. She was just beautiful like that, inside and outside. Norman was proud that his son is just like his mother in that way. However, when Harry was mad, he can literally be ten times worse than Norman. Anyone can ask John about that as Harry made sure that he was blackballed from any job that he applied to. That is a side that everyone tries to avoid, especially since he is a nice, reserved, kind-hearted person by nature.
"I know." Harry agreed. "And I he doesn't sign the divorce papers, option B will be the next best bet."
'What is option B?' Norman asks himself as he downs a shot of rum. 'This is going to be ugly!'
He would warn Peter, but Harry's tone tells him otherwise.
"Are you ready to hear option B if the divorce fails?"
Norman simply stares at his son.
"Yes." Norman says not wanting to cross his son.
"Good." Harry says taking the bottle from his dad and takes a swig from the bottle. "I am no longer going to be a victim of a horrible relationship, EVER again. I will no longer be the pushover just because I'm a soft Osborn who actually gives a damn about a faithful counterpart."
"Good." Norman says as he takes the bottle back and takes a swig from it as well.
"Bottoms up." Harry says.
"Wade, what is going on? Why were you tied up to the bed?" Gwen says as Wade sips his hot tea.
"Harry found out that Peter cheated on him, and I was the other man in the relationship."
"Really? Peter cheated on him, with you, again?!"
"See, when you say it that way, it sounds bad." Wade lamely defends.
"That's because it is bad, Wilson! When Harry gets mad, you never want to face his wrath! You got off easy! Trust me, I know." Gwen tells him. "The last time he was mad, I could've sworn that he uprooted a might sequoia!"
"Wait, the last time he got mad...was it bad?"
"Oh, it was bad. He shot John - the first time Peter cheated on him with - in the dick, and it came right off." Gwen says.
"Yikes!" Wade exclaims. He really did get off easy, getting tied to the bed and all.
"Yup. And he was pissed."
"Well, Harry was angry at the both of us."
"How angry?"
"He threw coffee at us, yelled at us and punished us. He even said that I had to call him when I'm truly sorry. If I were to rate how angry he was on a scale from 1-10, I would be in a hospital somewhere because his anger was off the charts."
"I feel sorry for you if he was angry, because you are going to suffer the wrath of Harry Osborn, and it isn't going to be pretty."
Wade sighs.
"When are you and Peter going to realize that Harry is a good guy, and that you are toxic?"
Besides the fact that he loves having sex with Peter, Wade is truly stumped.
"What do you call being tied up to a bed that doesn't belong to you, left alone with a dildo in your ass, sporting a cock ring?" Gwen asks.
"I deserved that, even though it hurt." Wade sighs.
"That is twisted." Gwen says. "Unless someone like you wanted it. I shouldn't have had MJ introduce you to Peter in the first place for that math course. I just had to take my little brother to the doctor and I asked MJ to have him tutor you."
Wade sighs heavily.
"You're lucky you aren't dead at all." Gwen says. "Because Harry Osborn is a nice guy, but when he's mad, you might wanna run."
"I'll keep that in mind." Wade says. "Besides, Peter loves him so much as I don't think that I can ruin something so beautiful like that between the two of them like that ever again."
"I respect you for thinking that way. You're do mature." Gwen compliments.
"So how did Harry end up shooting John's dick off?"
Gwen sighs.
"Well, it was back at a Christmas party a few years ago. Peter was drinking so much that he had been telling the truth to everyone. When he told Harry the truth now…."
12
Harry is mad.
Livid.
Angry.
"What the fuck do you mean you cheated on me with John?!" Harry asks Peter.
"I was doing a shit ton of coke, smoked weed, drank a lot and-"
"So let me get this straight: You went out, partied, get fucked up and slept with someone who I really disliked?! Especially since he had my mother killed because he can't keep his drinking down to a limit?!"
Peter winced.
"You are so fucking stupid!"
"Don't call me that!" Peter snaps.
"And why the fuck not?"
"Because I'm not stupid! I would never cheat on you."
"Well, you did!" Harry yells back.
"Can I-"
"NO!" Harry yells effectively cutting of John.
"I'm not a cheater." Peter retorts adamantly.
"Yes you are! You told me that you could never cheat on me the same way that the others did to you, and yet, you cheat on me?" Harry asks in disbelief in front of all of their guests.
"See, when you say it that way, you say it as if it's a bad thing." Peter says. "It was harmless fucking."
"You fucking punk!" Harry snaps, punching Peter in the face.
Everyone gasps at Harry's sudden action.
"What the hell, babe?!" Peter asks as the blood is flowing from his nose, trying to stand up.
"Don't babe me you cheap fuck!" Harry says as he continues to pummel Peter relentlessly.
"Harry! Stop! STOP!" MJ shouts.
"FUCK OFF!" Harry bellows.
It takes a total of three people to get am angry Harry off of a battered Peter.
"Osborn, I am-" John says but Harry cuts him off.
"No. Fuck You!" Harry shouts. "You're a waste of my time."
"I was-"
Harry suddenly walked off, ignoring the calls of Norman and Gwen.
"Norman ?" Aunt May asks.
"I am so sorry about Harry's behavior." He tells the woman. "I-"
Suddenly, a gun goes off.
"What was that?" MJ asks.
John screams.
"Dude!" Gwen says.
Everyone is beyond shocked at this point.
Blood is flowing from John's crotch area.
His penis is on the ground.
"You shot his dick off!" Flash says as he is simply staring at his friend.
"Pick it up! Somebody pick up my dick!" John shouts in complete agony.
"Thank you, dad." Harry says as he lowers his gun.
Norman turns to his son, sporting a confused look.
"If you hadn't taken me to the shooting range, I would have missed. Thank you for teaching me how to shoot a gun."
"You're welcome." A shocked Norman says.
"ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SHARE WITH ME TODAY?!" Harry asks angrily.
Everyone but John is silent.
"I took five of your delicious cupcakes." Flash bashfully says.
"For what it's worth-"
"SHUT UP, GWEN!" Harry snaps. "Someone call 9-1-1 for this asshole with no dick so he can get out of my house before I kill him!"
Felicia scurries off to make the call.
"Harry, I am sorry!" Peter pleads.
"Peter, get out of my face before I put a bullet in your head." Harry calmly warns. "I'm a mad man and anything can happen."
"Will you ever forgive me?" Peter asks.
"Time will tell." Harry says without any kind of emotion.
"I am sorry. It will never happen again!"
"For all I know, you are lying to me right now. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!" Harry snaps pointing the gun in the air, pulling the trigger.
The guests quiver with fear.
"Harry, I-"Peter starts, but he eventually leaves.
Harry takes a deep breath, and Norman takes the gun from him.
"Let's try and get back to the party." Norman tells their guests as Aunt May releases the breath that she unknowingly kept in.
"Shit." Wade says.
"Yup. You got lucky, big time."
"What am I going to do?" Wade asks.
"Beats me, but all I am going to say is that you are in danger, boy."
Wade groans.
