Chapter Text
Peter had a rough week, first off having one of the thugs from patrol get away plus he was pretty sure he was getting sick one of the worst things to happy during exam week.
”common kiddo up and at em.” Tony said while yanking the blinds open letting the sunlight in.
“mgrm, g’way Tony.” Peter groans making no effort to get out of bed his head was killing him and his stomach was doing flips, yup he was definitely sick.
”kiddo it’s your science exam today you have to go to school.” Tony said taking the top blanket off of peters body not missing the slight shiver.
”Oh crap nuggets I forgott about that exam.” Peter said frantically while abruptly sitting up cursing at himself for not thinking beforehand as a wave of dizziness and nausea rolled over him. One hand grabbing onto Tony’s shoulder for support while the other clutched his stomach.
“Hey Pete look at me.” Seeing the teens pained and glazed over expression tony decided he could not go to school in this condition no matter how much he begged him. “Well you look like shit, and definitely not good enough to go to school.”
”mmm noooo I have to my exam I can’t miss it.” Pete groaned
“sorry kiddo you look like your on deaths doors. Fri what’s his temp.” Tony said consulting the A.I
“Boss his current temperature is 102.4.”
“yup meds it is then, I know how much you hate them cuz they make you feel so disconnected but that right there could be a trip to the hospital for a normal human.”
“but tonyyyyy I’m not a normal human you know I get hotter and colder ever since the bite please can I not.”
”fine if it his 103.5 then you are taking the meds ok, try to go back to sleep I’ll be in the lounge room if you need anything I have a conference at 11 so if you wake up then and need assistance just give friday a yell.” tony said as he shut the kids blinds and exited form his room.
“Mm huh.” Peter replied. This science exam was worth 70% of his grade he really needed to go to it. If his exam was at 11:20 that means tony would be in the meeting so he could sneak out and walk to school. Peter grabbed out his phone and texted Ned telling him he would be at school late. Then proceeded to set an alarm waking him up when tony leaves so he could leave for school. Looking back on it Peter should have known this was a dumb idea but fever brains am I right.
...
Peter woke up 3h later to the alarm alerting him that tony left, he felt terrible his fever had risen to 103.8°f and he was sure he would have been puking if he had eaten today. But non of that was important he had to get to his science exam. Standing up peter violently swayed grabbing onto his desk for support, throwing on trackies and a jumper, he grabbed his bag and started heading out the door slowly stopping every so often to dry heave or sit down.
Once he was safely out of the tower peter started his journey to school, feeling terrible with his fever rising to 104°f as told by Karen. Checking the time on his watch 11.10 shit he better hurry or he will miss the exam picking up his pace peter started to feel woozy, swaying with every step and blurred vision. He had to pull through for the exam, he made it 10 more meters until his body decided it was enough sending him straight for the gutter.
...
”hello ... kid ... yo..k?” Asked a random voice god everything was so fuzzy.
”shit, your really warm.” The infirm I’ll at voice said yet clearer this time. Peter opens his eyes to see a random woman waving a hand over his face rapidly talking.
”oh good your awake, are you ok, what happend?”
”marm.. ow” Was all peter could say reaching a hand up to where he had his his head, that was definitely gonna bruise.
“um ok is there anyone I can call for you?” The nice lady asked helping him to sit up his body violently reacting and his stomach twisted sending him dry heaving with slight strings of bile.
”eww” was peters reply.
”ok crap I’m kid can you tell me some one I can call or do you need to go to a hospital.” She said with worry edging in her voice
”t’ny.” Peter said sending a look towards his now cracked phone on the floor next to him. The lady picked up the phone and dialed the contact under the name tony stark surley this kid was on some kind of drugs.
”hey Pete, what’s up I’m still in my meeting is it urgent.” So that was the kids name but holy shit he personally knew tony stark wow.
”umm hi I’m with peter here he just passed out and isn’t really with it only mumbling small things I’m pretty sure he hit his head it has a nice gash but um he is really hot to.”
“wait hold up ... who are you and why are you with peter ... where are you! Are you in the tower ... Jks ofc not Friday would have let me know ... tell me where you are I’m coming now.”
”we are just out the front of papas pizza ready it’s one of the side streets.”
“ok thank you for helping him I’ll be there in acouple of minutes.”
...
Holding to his words three minutes later tony stark was rushing towards the pair where the teen was still completely out of it.
”Pete! Shit holy fuck I tell you to stay in the tower cuz your sick and what do you do disobey me of... there no point in lecturing you now you clearly are out of it.” Tony said striding over to them and kneeling infront of peter.
The mysterious lady turned to tony “hi I’m Jane I’m so sorry I could be of more help I was just passing by and saw him just pass out and hit his head.
” No that you so much Jane honestly knowing him he was probably heading to his science exam even though he had a 102° fever. Thanks so much but I need to get him back to medical.”
with that tony picked up peter taking him to happys car heading towards the tower.
...
when peter woke up he was back in mes bay ofc he was where else would he end up.
“Nice to see your back with us Underoos.”
“mm wha happen.” Peter slurred
”your dumbass fever brain decided it would be nice to go on a walk with a 104° fever. What were you thinking!”
”mm s’rry, had to do exam 70% of my mark.” Peter said ashamed
”kid I was so worried kid meeting getting a call from a stranger about how your sick kid who was meant or he at home had gone for a wonder and passed out and all to go to an exam, I was going to just arrange for you to do it another day.”
”oh.”
“yeah oh but no point arguing about it now at least your sneaking out to go to school rather than parties unlike me.” Tony said and chuckled
”god what am I going to do with you kiddo.” Tony said while running his hand through the teens hair.
”love me and keep me forever and watch star wars?” The teen said cheekily
”yeah kiddo, I’ll go get some popcorn and set up a Star Wars movie marathon don’t go running off to any more exams while I’m gone.”
”mmk.” Was the only reply tony got noticing the teen was falling back asleep.
God this kid was the death of him.
