[ Gwen will find, delivered to her and wrapped up quite nicely with a bow and Christmas wrap, a large box of fancy chocolates. Attached is a card that reads: ]
I don’t really know if your Venom likes chocolate but mine can’t get enough, so. Merry Christmas. - Eddie
PS - I made sure these were just normal chocolates. Not weird Duplicity chocolates.
I don't know exactly how many things carry over from universe to universe, so if I'm getting things wrong you're free to just laugh it up.
But if I'm not, well ... today's a special day for two of the most wonderful women I've ever met in my life, and the least I can do is wish a good one to one of them.
Happy birthday, Gwen. You're one of best people I know, and I can't begin to describe how grateful I am I got the chance to meet you. And I don't know how old you're turning today, but I know you're gonna make it count every step of the way.
you're such a mushball, but thank you for this and i'm really bad at, y'know, words, but i'm really glad you're in my life, too. i'm actually 21 now, which is nuts.
Soooo. I know you live on your own and our relationship isn't really like that. But it doesn't feel right doing this without telling you, so I just wanted to let you know I've made a contract with someone else.
Her name's Dutch. You ever wanna meet her, let me know? Not that you two need my permission or approval.
But we can chill and watch a terrible movie or listen to terrible music, or anything, really.
[ h-heyoooo. gwen's confused for a split second, trying to remember if she started some shit and just forgot about it, but she doesn't recognize the username, so-
oh, right. OH. ]
i feel really bad that the person you wanted to get this didn't get this because it's a good one
[ gwen. gwen just roll with it, don't be a goober ]
bet it wouldn't take them long, though what were you doing to get those noises from them in the first place?
[There's attached a picture of one Bucky Barnes, in a tank top wearing jeans, hair short and the Cap star on his arm. He's frowning at the camera, but elsewise something like this]
[ oh jeeze. she's been hacked already, so while the picture from this bbarnes isn't unwelcome, she knows it mooost likely wasn't mean for her ]
that's a great picture! i'd say "just missing a smile" but then i'd probably sound like one of those scummers on the street telling girls they need to smile more so no anyway i'm sure this wasn't meant for me but it's a great picture, nothing to feel dumb over
i actually really wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out today specifically even if we just go for a walk again? but i wasn't sure if you'd be busy or if you'd even want to and basically a bunch of other lame excuses
and um no i mean yes you can stay over, of course you can but no there's no version of this where you end up living in the down again unless you want to?? but yikes
as long as we're both here, you'll always have a room at my place, pete i'd give you a key but i mean you know the balcony door is always unlocked so you can get in anytime
[Gwen's device will buzz a few times in succession and she is treated to three clearly accidental photos of what seems to be the top of Bucky's hair and the slow-motion progression of a dog with one eye that seems intent on licking his face.
gwen should really, really make sure it's actually him and not the city trying to mess with her for managing to escape literal hell a few weeks ago, but she's already crying, so. we've skipped that and gone right to excitement and- and a hundred other complicated things ]
you're back?? is this real? where are you come to my house i mean i'll find you when did you get back?? are you okay???
We've been invited to dinner with Steve and Bucky later this week I mean Steve did say he'd take it as a personal insult if we refused, so Forced to dinner?
Although no one would ever need to force me to have dinner I love dinner But anyway
i would love to cave to captain america's peer pressure and join them for dinner with you i actually haven't had a chance to get to know bucky, so that'll be cool!
wait wait am i being girlfriend tested is this a girlfriend test to make sure i'm good enough for their favorite spidey omg i'm excited but i'm also nervous wow
i wish i was kidding but i'm only like 60% kidding i'm gonna win them over!
