Chapter Text
“No”
Peter didn’t need to think about it. He can’t risk himself doing this.
“C’mon Pete! You’re an intern for the one and only Tony Stark! How can you not do this for the college newspaper?! If it weren’t for MJ’s advice column, The THIS-“She shakes the newspaper it front of peter “would be dead by now” She never took her eyes of him. Her eyes that were full of determination to make peter to do this favor of her’s.
“look Gwen, You know you’re my best friend and I’d love to help out but by taking pictures not by interviewing heroes… I don’t have the skill for the kind of thing and you know the risk” Peter whines.
Gwen rolls her eyes “we all know that’s a lie peter… you can write your essay without even looking at it and get a perfect A… Plus how are they going to figure it out?! You’re just a college student doing an interview for the college newpaper. There’s nothing suspiscious about that”
“Gwe-“
Before Peter could start moving his hand while babbling his explanation, Gwen grabbed both peter’s hand.
“Please peter, do it for me! I know it’s a tiny bit risky but you know how much I love doing this and how much extra credit I get for making this work... please, do it…. for both me and MJ… I’m begging you” Gwen pleaded. Of course, peter knew why Gwen loved doing the newspaper. Even though Gwen could have gone and went for something that would benefit her in the name of science, she let herself to join the newspaper so she could spend time with her crush Mary Jane. Although it was quite awkward at first since peter dated both of them before, when they started going out and saw that peter really didn’t mind so they didn’t mind it either. Gwen gave sentimental value for doing this since this is the reason why she ended up with her now girlfriend MJ. It really hit her when the newspaper was to be abolished since only a few of the student reads it. Plus it was hard since it’s only members are Peter, Gwen, MJ, and Kitty. Peter knew it would make her get all teary and heartbroken if the college newspaper was to be abolished.
“Ok…” Gwen gripped peter’s hands tighter and there was a growing smile being drawn on her face “I’ll do it… but owe me big time for this… and it will be your fault if I ever get cau-!”
Gwen jumped and hugged peter so suddenly that they tipped and almost fell from the chair if it weren’t for his spidey senses. “THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”
“I know” Peter chuckled.
Gwen finally let go of peter a couple of minutes squeezing peter in her death grip.
“so…. How’s this going to go? And who should I be interviewing first?”
“Well… I’ve planned that you’ll be interviewing couple of superheroes that the college students would want to know about and the interviewing would be focused on one super hero a month… and about who you’ll be interviewing…” Peter sensed an odd tone from Gwen’s statement.
“I’ve already posted a question on the latest issue we had…. So…” Gwen looked to side avoiding peter’s eyes.
“You knew I wouldn’t say no to you, didn’t you?” Peter gave her a death glare. Gwen smiled with guilt all over her face.
“First superhero would be the Torch. He was the most requested one in the survey. This is great since I know that he knows who you are already so it’s a start” Peter sighed in relief. It was true, Johnny knew about Spiderman’s secret identity since they were pretty close and another person that Peter considered as one of his closest friend. And on the Plus side Johnny was studying in the same college institute.
“Well… I’m not really surprised about that since…”
“He’s super hot that girls seem to flock over him” Peter rolled his eyes but nodded anyway since he knew about that and saw the ‘flocking over him’ too often. Gwen found it amusing to see.
“Second would be Thor and Captain America. They were in a tie so… I couldn’t pick one better than the two. That’s still pretty ok right?” Gwen looked at peter with a raised eyebrow.
“Yeah… I think that’s fine” Peter taught about interviewing the two. It would be kinda fun and interesting.
“Third in the list is Tony Stark” This time Peter was the one who had his eyebrow raised.
“Aren’t there a lot of reporters who interview him anyway?”
Gwen shrugged. “That’s what the people want. It would also be easier for you since you work with him and he is used to doing interviews like this”
“True… How long is this list?”
Gwen looked at the little notebook she had and counted with her pen.
“There’s 6 in the list but that’s 7 in total since number 2 has Thor and Captain America in a tie”
“That’s not so bad…” Peter looked at Gwen’s face and she doing that weird face again. That doesn’t seem good…. “Right?”
“well… other than Hawkeye and Hulk”
“Wait… did you just say the hulk?” Peter looks at Gwen in astonishment.
“haha! I know right? Didn’t expect that too” Gwen chuckled.
“Those guys are pretty easy to interview… who’s the last one?”
Gwen paused for a while. Her forehead scrunched and she had a guilty smile plastered on again.
“thelastoneisdeadpool” She gave a cough after her inaudible statement.
“who?”
“Dead…pool?” She said it like it was a question. Peter eyes widened.
“GWEN!” Peter exclaimed and raised his hand like a madman.
“I KNOW! I KNOW! BUT THAT’S WHO THE PEOPLE WANT!” Gwen placed her hands up in guilt.
“I actually don’t have an issue with interviewing all the others but DEADPOOL?! Are you SERIOUS right now?! You know how much I hate the dude and how am I even going to interview him without letting him figure out who spiderman is?! WHY IS HE EVEN ON THE LIST!?” Peter was outraged that Gwen actually thought that he would go and interview someone that he really really REALLY doesn’t want to reveal his identity with and not the fact that Spiderman wasn’t on the list and Deadpool was. Really isn’t the reason…
“I don’t know and I already thought about it so I got his number. He leaves it all around actually so it wasn’t that hard to get” Gwen gave peter a flyer. Peter took the flyer. The Flyer was doodle of Deadpool killing a random dude and a caption at the bottom saying ‘NEED A HAND? I’M THE MAN FOR THE JOB! CALL MR. POOL’ with his number written just below the caption.
“If you call him with the number on the flyer, He would just think of it as just another customer or something” Gwen had a point but still he couldn’t handle Deadpool very much as Spiderman, How much more as Peter Parker. “Pretty please, Petey…. You said you would do it for me….” Gwen gave him the puppy dog eyes. Really sappy puppy dog eyes…
Peter gave a long painful sigh.
“Petey?”
“I did…” I will really regret this
Gwen gave him a hug grin in response.
“so what am I even going to ask them?”
Gwen immediately grabbed and shuffled her bag to get a piece of folded paper and handed it to peter.
“I had the questions placed together from all the suggestions we got and I already placed it in order. So You’ll start asking any of the guys in the list as soon as possible so you’ll be able to catch up by next month” Peter went and took a look at the piece of paper He was given.
Are you single right now?
How romantic are you?
What has been your best/worst date?
What would you like to do on a date?
Are you a virgin?
How would someone get your special attention?
What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever done for you?
Would you date a fan?
Would you be interested in dating a guy?
Do you believe and love at first sight?
And there is still a couple more in the list.
“Gwen… seriously? Dating questions?” Peter looked at her, whishing that this was a joke.
“The population of those who suggested the questions are girls so… yeah… dating questions” Gwen shrugged.
“Is there any possibility that you could change this? ALL of this?” Peter pleaded.
“Sorry Pete, that’s what they want but I could change it a lil’ bit for you?”
“Thanks Gwen” any change would be a good change for this interview.
“Sure. I’ll give it to you tomorrow before you’re lil’ date with Johnny” Gwen gave him a big teasing smile.
“It’s not a date” It wasn’t. Peter and Johnny just have their Friday guys’ night every week, which consist of scattered pizza boxes and an amazing amount of soda. And Gwen kept bugging that it was a just a lamer version of a date night.
“Riiiiiiiiiiiight….” She gave him an unimpressed look. “You should probably go now. Aren’t you needed in the lab today?” She raised her eyebrow in question.
Fuck
“Shit! I gotta go! By Gwen!” Peter panicked, put on his backpack, and quickly gave chaste kiss on her cheek. He then ran to the door and before he could get out of the room, Gwen quickly called out and reminded him of the interview.
“Don’t forget to ask Iron Man about the interview!”
“I won’t!” but he’s not looking forward to it. He may have worked as Tony’s assistant for a year now but the fear of getting Tony disappointed in anyway still lingers greatly.
“Shit. Shit. Shit.” Peter cursed. I can’t disappoint Mr. Stark!
