Gwen already decided she was going to tell Hawk about being Ghost Spider. She didn’t want a relationship where he didn’t know that part of her. And while she was aware it might shake things up a bit, maybe even probably mess things up a bit, Gwen was pretty determined to tell him. Some day.
Some day soon.
What she wasn’t expecting, however, was the series of events that lead her to outing herself. She wasn’t expecting Hawk to go off on Derek like he did. She wasn’t expecting to go skulking around the sewers trying to find the keys and she certainly wasn’t expecting to be attacked by some big, spider crab monster in the sewers, leaning her bruised, bitten and with parts of her suit bitten through.
And after that had happened, she just wanted to get in and get a shower. But, to continue the trend of Gwen running into moments she wasn’t expecting, the one thing she was expecting least of all was Hawk being in her room as she crawled in through the window and stuck to the wall to close it quietly.
Oh, god. He probably woke up and found she wasn’t in bed next to her and probably came looking for her. Well, shit. She did this to herself, didn’t she?
With her Ghost Spider mask off and her hood down, Gwen watched Hawk for a moment, his keys held tightly in her fist before letting them show.
“I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t. I knew I could do something to get your keys back, so I did and...you probably have a million questions.”
Hawk just... stared at Gwen. And it was for sure Gwen, he'd recognize that silhouette in any sort of tights she wore. Of course he wouldn't have expected her to be wearing a FREAKING SUPER HERO costume. Also, she was crawling on the ceiling which was crazy but also totally bad ass.
So for a bit he just stared up at her, trying to process everything while she was holding his keys. His keys that were in the sewer. She'd gone into the sewers to get his keys. How do you even respond to that?
That was so far from the reaction Gwen was bracing herself for. It shocked her into stunned silence and she watched Hawk for a moment, expecting what she heard him say to actually be entirely misheard. But after giving herself a moment to process it, she realized she did in fact hear him correctly.
He said he loves her. Also, that she smelled bad, but that really wasn’t what had her surprised. He wasn’t shocked that she was on the ceiling. He was taking it in stride flawlessly and that...that...
“I love you, too.” Yeah. That’s what she has to say to that.
Standing upside down on the ceiling as if it were the floor, Gwen looked at the keys again and held them out to him.
“I mean, myself and another hero fought a giant spider-crab that spat acid which really felt bad, just to get your keys back. That’s gotta like...tell you just how much, right?” A relieved laugh and then a hiss of pain as she presses her hand against a spot the aforementioned acid ate through.
Hawk couldn't help but give her a dopey smile when she said that she loved
him. He almost didn't realize he had said it, it just sort of came out. It
probably wasn't any sort of surprise to her, they had been dancing around
the magnitude of their feelings for a while, but it was still nice to hear.
And yeah, her crawling around in a sewer did show just how much. The fact
that she was hurt though made him feel a bit guilty.
"Wait, you're hurt, what's wrong," he said, moving closer to her. He
completely ignored the keys and instead focused on where she was pressing
her hand. "Let me go get the first aid kit... wait you probably need to
clean it first... just toss your costume in my room and I'll go wash it
with my stuff."
It's probably not the most important thing Gwen could focus on, but even upside down and still on the ceiling, Gwen couldn't help but be so happy that he stepped closer. Her slightly bruised face smiles a bit and she steps forward. She lets him finish what he has to say and then kisses him for a moment or two.
It's not even awkward, considering he's on the floor and she's on the ceiling. It's actually kinda nice.
When she pulls away, she shakes her head a bit. "First aid kit's under my bed. I'm going to throw my suit in by itself, because I have no idea if the corrosive whatever that monster spat at me is going to eat through your clothes or not. If you could just...step out of my room for five minutes so I can get in the shower?"
For as much as she enjoys making out with Hawk? She's not quite at any point past that.
Twisting a bit, she drops to the floor and lands on her toes, crouched briefly before straightening and letting out another huff of pain.
"I'll tell you all about this while we watch a movie and cuddle very, very carefully. Okay?"
Oh, oh the upside down kiss was really nice and he could kinda see wanting to do that again. It was different but not weird or awkward but how many people got to kiss someone like this?
When she mentioned asking him to leave he suddenly realized that yeah, she couldn’t exactly change with him in the room. As much as he liked Gwen and wanted to see her naked (he was a teenage guy after all) they weren’t ready for that. Especially not when she was hurt.
“Right, yeah. I’ll go get some ice packs and get a movie ready and you bring the first aid kit,” he said, pausing for a moment before grinning and adding, “Love you.”
"I love you, too. See you in your room in ten?" She needs time to shower, get dressed, throw her probably ruined costume in the wash. She turns to step into the bathroom but then backs out and rushes over to Hawk, kissing him once again. Just a quick press of her lips against his.
"Sorry. I really enjoy that. But, yeah...shower. Your room in a few minutes."
And she vanishes, heading to the bathroom to grab that hot shower.
When she finds Hawk again, shes's in her most comfortable pajamas. And she's amused at how big a lie it is. The bruises from earlier have actually faded mostly. She looks a lot better than she did coming home, at least.
In her arms, the hooded blanket Hawk got her when she was recovering from being a statue.

This wasn’t the some day she wanted.

She’s fine. Will be fine.
Everything hurts, but she will be okay.
