Author's Notes: guys, I was so excited for I that I almost skipped H o_O I seriously was on the add chapter page when I realized I was missing H!
Where in the timeline: doesn't really matter, Petee and Gwen are dating.
Letter: H
Word: Harass
Bad things happen when Peter's late for a date.
Gwen would chew him out for his bad habits of not keeping time later, but at the moment she had more pressing matters to deal with. Example: the man pinning her to a wall. There was that.
It was a very bad situation, even worse than normal bad. And normal bad, when we're talking about Spider-Man's boyfriend, is extremely bad for a normal person. It just goes to show you how bad the situation was.
Peter might not even think to look in the alley, that is if he even arrived in time to do anything. She was at a loss for what to do.
She'd been waiting outside the restaurant that Peter and herself had decided upon just three hours prior, when a man approached her. He was pretty young, but still old enough for it to be disgusting when he began hitting on her.
"I'm sorry, but I'm waiting for my date," she explained politely, taking a step away from him.
"I see," he said with a slight sneer.
Gwen's phone began ringing. When she pulled it from her purse and saw the name Liz on the screen, she grasped the opportunity to get away from the man. Anything to get the creep to leave her alone.
She made quite the show of not being able to hear Liz, then walked into a small alley beside the restaurant. The alley was very narrow, no wider than the span of her arms.
Instead of the man leaving her alone like Gwen so counted on, he followed her into the alley. Gwen hung up the phone and gave him a glare.
"Sir, I don't want any trouble."
He knocked the phone and her small clutch from her hand, pinning her against the wall harshly. He gave her a disgusting grin, but a fist collided with his face before he could say a thing. The punch sent him flying several feet, where he landed against a metal dumpster.
After letting out a shout of surprise, Gwen turned to see Peter standing there, looking very sharp in his dressy jacket and white shirt. He also looked ticked.
He grabbed Gwen by the shoulders and asked if she was alright. With her nod, he released her and strode over to the man on the ground. With a fist in his collar, Peter dragged the man to his feet.
"You gonna harass my girlfriend?" Peter threw a slow punch and let the man dodge it.
He threw his own punch, and before he could blink an eye his wrist was broken. Stupidly, he tried to punch with the other fist and got his arm twisted behind his back.
Peter jabbed his knee into the man's ribs, simultaneously releasing his arm. After a moment, he tried to stagger to his feet, only to hit Peter's fist head-on. The man fell and did not rise.
"Peter!" Gwen shouted. "You're done. I'm fine."
He gathered her up in his arms, nearly lifting her off the ground. "I'm sorry," he said, muffled by her masses of hair.
"It's okay, thanks for saving me," she breathed. Over Peter's shoulder she saw the man rise, his legs shaking underneath him. He made a mad dash for the alley's exit. Feeling Peter tense his arm to clothesline the man, Gwen put her hand there, sending a clear signal for him to stop.
"He'll already end up in the hospital, let him run."
He didn't seem happy with this, but he ignored the man nonetheless. "Are you still up for dinner," he asked, releasing her from his tight hug.
She gave him a smile and hooked her arm through his. "We do have reservations. And I'm always up for food."
He laughed. "Let's go then."
Author's Notes: I'm sorry... I hate this. Wrote it twice and still hate it! The next one is better I promise!
