Meme of Firsts

A Meme of FIRSTS!

You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

WHAT DO?

It's what it says on the tin.
Your character can be at the right place and time for all these firsts, you can age them down, they're starting late, they never had the chance, it's an AU I DON'T EVEN CARE just play.

Prompts are amalgamations of many, many different memes.

First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?

First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?

First Meeting: Dropped your groceries? Bump into them on the subway? Party? Fender bender? The options are endless!

First Anniversary: You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.

First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?

First House: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.

What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---

Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest: Hey little mama, let me holla at you.

Gradual: Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them.

Excitement and FREAKING OUT: Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh.

Hormonal: Girls are so weird but they look so nice.

Sloppy Makeouts: Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town.

Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.

School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -

You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.

Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?

I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?

Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.

Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.

Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. ( Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)

Hey, Can We Try...: You've been together, or at least doing it, for awhile, but one of you wants to try something new.

Childhood Sweethearts: You've loved them what seems like forever, ever since you were little.

Wedding Night: Have fun, newlyweds! Maybe one of you cut off the sex a couple months ago, just for tonight to be extra special.

With Nature: In a forest or a field, how could you not be happy with the sun or moon shining down and the beauty of nature around you?

Waking Up: Fluffy, sleepy, giggly morning sex.

Protected/Safe: You always feel safe with them. How can you thank them?

(Here for the smut prompts, most likely 1/2 but 5/6 could also work; no 4. More info on journal.)

Peter loved Delmar's. Mr. Delmar was the best and his sandwiches were the best. For a teenager with a super-metabolism getting lots of food for cheap was super important. Getting tasty food like one (or three) of Delmar's sandwiches was like heaven.

And today? Today Peter had extra money to spend so he had three sandwiches, a bag of chips, an apple, an energy drink, a chocolate bar, a few slim jims, and some tic tacs (because having your mask smell like onions for days? not great).

He had all that which was he didn't really see the girl that was coming in the shop when he was going out. He got a weird buzz from his Spider-Sense, almost like a headache, right before he crashed into her.

"Oh crap!"

His purchases went flying and he reached out to grab a few but unless he went all Spider-Man on them some were going to crash to the ground. So long sandwich #3.

Delmars was great, Gwen wasn't going to lie. Mr Delmar was patient and goofy and a bit sarcastic and Gwen appreciated people like that. They were her people, after all. They were the best people to be around.

That and the store was right down the street from ballet practice. She was always starving after practice, and not just because she was a teen girl with spider metabolism. Dance took a lot out of her, and Delmar's sandwiches were always the best.

Peter's Same Hat sense went off and caused an accident. Gwen's went off, and told her where to be. How to move, how to crouch and bend and catch sandwich # 3 before it hit the ground, standing quickly and holding the sandwich out to a face she wasn't going to point out as familiar.

And if anyone asks how she can move that way, she'll just point out the ballet attire she still wore. Dancer. Clearly, that's the explanation.

"It's all good. See? Sandwich saved." Said with a grin from the girl with blonde and pink hair and a recent side-shave.

Peter was in love. Mostly with his sandwich but at the moment that love translated to the person who had just saved his sandwich.

"Sandwich saved," he said, in awe just a bit. Not necessarily because of the moves but again, saved sandwich. Well, that at the very attractive girl in the dance outfit. But mostly just the sandwich. Like 60/40 the sandwich. He had almost lost it after all and now it was safe.

"Thanks. For the sandwich. I mean it's my sandwich but you saved it. So thanks. Thank you. I'm Peter, by the way, Peter Parker," he said, taking the sandwich back then realizing he didn't have a free hand to shake her hand now. He shifted things around a bit until he had a hand free to offer it to her.

"Gwen," she states, reaching to shake his hand with a grin. "Gwen Barton." That was the name she was going with. That was the name on all of her identification. She was Clint Bartons niece, or something. She was just gonna roll with it.

"You're welcome. It's a sandwich from Delmars. Losing one like that is a sin and a tragedy."

"Hi Gwen Barton," he said, grinning back at her. Barton was a pretty common name so he didn't think much of it. Plus it wasn't like he could say "Hey I know a Clint Barton we're kinda on the Avengers together."

"Right? It would be catastrophic," Peter said, glad that she got it. It wasn't just any ordinary sandwich, it was from Delmar's. "I, uh, I'd buy you one as a thank you but I spent all my money and I don't know if you'd like my order? Do you want to split some chips and slim jim's though?"

That was fine. She didn't feel like being outed, anyway. She liked the Normal Teen moments she didn't get to have all that often. She watches him for a moment, considering his moment before shrugging a shoulder.

"Sure. Why not? I have a couple hours before I have to be anywhere. Thank you."

"Really? I mean cool. That's cool," Peter said, slightly surprised that she'd agreed. It was a little weird to just accept an invitation from a stranger but Peter wasn't getting any crazy person vibes off of her. Besides, how crazy could someone who danced be?

"I'll just wait while you order?"

She has nothing better to do. And her Spider-sense wasn't telling her to go anywhere so, she was going to make a friend.

"Okay. It'll be like...five minutes. My order's uncomplicated," she replies with a smile, turning and heading to Mr Delmar to order. The conversation between Mr Delmar and Gwen is short, but polite and patient as he teaches Gwen a new word or two in Italian and she repeats it back. Apparently, this is a thing with them.

A few minutes later, she has her sandwich and a bottle of Pepsi in her hand and she's waiting in line to pay.

"So how often are you here?"

"He's here all the time!" Mr. Demlar answered for Peter. "All the time, I can't get rid of him! And he never brings his aunt around!"

Peter rolled his eyes at the comment about Aunt May but he was used to it. From Mr. Delmar and pretty much everyone else.

"He's right though, I do come here a lot. Best sandwiches in Queens," he said with complete sincerity. But also because it never hurt to butter up to Mr. Delmar. "What about you? Do you come here often? You're probably here from the dance studio?"

Leaving Queens was never an option. Not really. Not even when Happy had pointed out he had an entire untouched bank account that could practically buy him any property in the city. Twice. Not even when the places they looked at were...

Hazardous?

Peter doubted anyone else would want to take on the place. He's certain that's why the rent was so cheap. It'd been sitting empty since the reversal of the Blip and it definitely showed.

The point was, they finally found a place. One that allowed them to come and go as they pleased. One where the landlord was an 80 year old widow who didn't mind what they did to the place as long as they didn't burn it down. (Which, okay, Peter can't exactly promise this won't happen, but they'll try.) It was theirs as long as they wanted it, and they were on a month to month lease.

It was a complete garbage fire.

It was absolutely perfect.

Even if the doorknob did break off in his hand the first time he tried it.

Doorknobs were easy to replace. The tiny size of their first apartment wasn't too big a bother. She had Peter, her other half and the best part of her.

And that was amazing. What wasn't amazing was the bed took up a good two thirds of the apartment, but that's really not an issue for two people who can climb on walls and sit on the ceiling like it's no big deal.

It's just a brief irritation that Gwen is over within seconds of getting the bed made.

The location was great. Dead center between their two schools and it got Gwen out of the dorms she tried to share the year before. But her roommates had been awful, snobby.

Now? Now she had the best roommate in the world and she couldn't be happier.

In fact, she's so excited he's there, that she heads over to him and wraps her arms around his shoulders, kissing him for a few moments.

That's okay, right? Of course it is.

She breaks the kiss with a grin, arms still around his shoulders as she stands on her toes to bring her face level with is.

"So, the new apartment kind of smells like boiled cabbage." Not a problem at all.

It really, really did. Peter wrinkled his nose. A few open windows and they'd be smelling garbage and street food instead. Much more homey, right?

Gwen made it home.

He wonders how much effort it'd take to attach their sofa to the ceiling and then just hang the TV on the wall upside down.

It's a thought.

"Mrs. Figg is our downstairs neighbor. I thought you knew?"

"Is she? That explains a few things," Gwen replies with a smirk and a small laugh. Her arms are still around Peter and she's pretty happy to be able to do that without one of the more grown up grown-ups clearing their throat.

"Peter, we have our first place together and I love it."

( WELL. )
