He has no stammer or hesitation at all when it comes to his girlfriend and other guys approaching her, does he! Dudes better ease on up.
I wanna know how does frat!Peter comfort bashful when she's feeling insecure like when girls are all over him (pretty sure boys are all over her too but they don't wanna test Peter) what would Peter do in that situation?
i think this changes a lot throughout their relationship and how it progresses.
at first when they're not super exclusive (what peter referred to as their feeling each other out phase) she pretends not to care but Peter has like a fucking radar that goes off. like she has no claims over him, and he has none over her so why should she care that there is a very gorgeous, tall, platinum blonde women throwing herself at peter?? but she does. god does she care. so peter keeps his distance but does participate in the fun flirting, because he'd expect bashful to do the same. but he doesn't stay long at all. he's coming back two drinks in hand, arm wrapping around her pulling her close hand petting her hair down. quick with the praise.
"you're so pretty bashful. have ii told ya that since you got here? mhmm."
"shut up." she mumbles, muffling herself with her drink.
"oh no, no no. don't go shy on me, pretty girl."
the quick jab to his side shuts him up, but he smirks knowing he's built her back up a little bit.
however when it comes to them being more official around their sophomore year, bashful doesn't get as jealous but it does definitely make her insecure. obviously this is before the pregnancy. but no matter how quick peter is to shut it down, bashful does still have this eating feeling that maybe there's something better out there for him. peter is again quick to the praise, but he has show off rights now that come with the girlfriend-boyfriend title. so not only is he quick to call her beautiful, or smart. he's also at the jump to talk about how proud he is of her and how happy he is to be her boyfriend.
"can't believe you picked to be with me bashful. i'm really, really, flattered. think about how fuckin' lucky i got to be with you. it's crazy."
"you're drunk pete.." she laughs trying to shrug him off his bear hug as they walk to join harry outside on the back patio.
"'m not...here smell." he laughed craning his head forward breathing in her face. no alcohol on his breath. "minty fresh."
"you're fucking gross." bashful laughed moving her head away.
he doesn't like to outright call her out when feeling she's feeling insecure because he knows how hard that can be. peter himself does get super insecure when boys approach her so he does what he can to assure. he'll even tell the girls approaching him about her. just to let them know right up that he's a taken man and not interested.
bonus:
when bashful gets approached at the start of the relationship pete is quick on his feet, again, dude has a radar. he's by her side as fast as possible, arm around her smiling at the guy. but that's just because he's more outward in his approach than she is.
"been looking for ya bashful, whose your friend?"
the guy looks from her to pete, before he's backing away. peter has a reputation in the frat, he's not the fighter that's totally nate, but peter is intimidating alone with a look. he's only been in one fight since joining the frat, and it hasn't been lived down since. now you put hitting on his girlfriend into that mix??
"yeah no thanks.. this has been fun though." the guy laughs walking away.
'you're such a jealous ass.." bashful laughs shaking her head, looking up at him smiling.
"mhm.."
peter shrugged pressing his lips to her head.
