Chapter Text
himself & took a deep breath. "What were you thinking?!" "I'm sorry Mr. Stark, really I-" "What? You decided it would be nice to try to get yourselves killed?! You could have come to me, told me that he was the one who shot you." "I tried to, but you DON'T listen! I was trying to do what you want me to do, but I'll never be enough. Your expectations, what you want out of me, what you want me to be, it's impossible!" Peter yelled, tears nearly escaping his eyes. Tony sighed. "You've GOT to stop this kid. You're going to get yourself hurt or killed & I feel like that's on me. This is my fight, mine. Not yours."
"Happy, " Peter began as he sat in the back & leaned forward to talk to him. "Who is he?" "Who's who?" Happy grunted. He wasn't in a good mood. Not that he ever was. "The voice. The one who sent Mr. Stark's bodyguard to shoot, me the one who took Mj, the one who wants us dead." Happy sighed. "It's really not my place to say, but they knew each other, they were close. Then Ironman became a thing and jealousy took over." "He knows him?" "Yeah. It's a personal thing, he was kind of like his half-brother, but you didn't hear that from me, " Happy said as he pulled up to the Parkers' house. Peter got out & Immediately went to his room. He was so physically & mentally drained, and in a few minutes, he was asleep.
"Peter? Peter?" Mj had been trying to get him to wake up for the past 10 minutes. Mj, having lost her patience decided to try a new tactic. "Wake up you freaking Loser!" Mj yelled as she punched him in the face. It was a little harsh, but also rather pleasing. Peter jumped up, hit his head on the bunk, & then fell back down onto his bed looking like he might faint. "Um. Are you alright?" "F-fine, " Peter said as he got paler by the seconds. "I-just-need-to-use-the-bathroom, " Peter said as he walked into his bedroom wall instead of out the door. "Wow. That's pathetic, " Mj said, taking him by the shoulders & directing him to the bathroom. "Thanks, " he mumbled before quickly running to the toilet & vomiting out anything that was in his system. "Well, that's lovely," Mj said sarcastically. "Sorry, " he mumbled. "I need something to eat." "So you can throw that up too?" "No. This happens if I don't have enough to eat because of my fast metabolism." "Alright, what do you have?" Mj asked with a sigh. She just came to study. It was like Peter was a magnet for trouble & Mj got sucked in every time. "Probably nothing. May has been working a lot recently." "I'll be back," Mj stated. And she left. It was about 40 minutes when Mj returned with a bag full of food. "How'd you get that?" Peter asked. "Garbage can." Peter looked at her quizzically. "Not really. For some reason, my parents thought it would be a nice idea to give me their credit card while they were gone for 4 months." Mj laughed.
After an hour Mj & Peter had practically eaten everything she brought. Pizza, popcorn, flaming hot Cheetos. You know; junk food. Aka the necessities for life. Peter insisted they watch Star Wars, which Mj had never seen. So they called Ned over & Mj hardly caught any of the dialogue because they were raving about how good the movie was & fighting over which movies were better. At 3:00 a.m. they were all practically delirious. "So, " Ned began while laughing at nothing. "I'm planning to ask Betty on a date, buuuuuuut, " Ned slurred his words in the midst of his delirium & lack of sleep. "I don't know where we would go for our date." "I have an ideeeeaaaaa, " Peter chimed in while Mj laughed at the 2 of them mockingly. "You should build the lego death star with her." "But we already built it." "Yes, " Peter said, "that way you get to build it twice which is even better because-" Peter cut off because he couldn't come up with a reason why, but nevertheless Ned thought it was brilliant. "Woooooowww. You're smart." "No, " Mj said, "You guys are both complete losers." And with that, all 3 fell asleep laughing at nothing.
