--bigger, uglier company." The man nodded quickly and he ushered him inside, closing the door the moment he cleared it. He then-Peter Parker

-- turned on his heel and shot two web strands forward, slingshotting himself over the dividing wall to land beside Peter Parker. --

--"Is it me, or are these guys just getting uglier?" He nudged Peter Parker lightly and bounced on his toes, eyes darting between the two--

--very clearly irritated miscreants before them. "I'll take Slinky-tail of you'll take the horny one, Peter Parker. He's just not my type."

"It's more C than O2." He couldn't help a chuckle as he began to walk beside 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓., happily linking his arms with hers. It felt--

--good to be around her again. The mention of food, however, made him perk up a little more. "Sure! I know a guy that'll-- 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

--give me a discount. Frequent flier, ya know?" He beamed and proceeded to lead 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓. onward, eyes locked before him. "I'm --

--buying, by the way in case you got any ideas." 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

"Yeah, yeah. It could always be worse." He chuckled a little as they walked, his hand inching out to take 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.'s. He didn't--

--know how she would react, but he was going to give it a shot. He enjoyed the city, too, but sometimes it was a bit-- 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

--much. "I'm buying because I want to, Jess. That's the only reason. And I'm not budging, no matter how hard you push." --𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

--He couldn't help teasing 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓., sometimes. He did it to Peter enough. This was nice. Just on a walk, with her. Not worrying--

--about anything else. 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

The simple fact that 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓. allowed him to take her hand made Ben grin ear to ear. And when she bit her lip like that? He could--

--feel his heartbeat quicken. He laughed a little at the way 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓. consented to him paying, his head bobbing in amusement and--

--agreement. "I'm glad you've figured that out, because arguing is a waste of time we could spend laughing." 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓. was --

--hardheaded, and in all honesty, he loved that about her. Of course, he was too. So it made for interesting interaction. --𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.

-- His hand closed around 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.'s a little tighter as they walked, the park coming into view. The green in the midst of so much--

--gray? It was refreshing. 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓.
