    Summary

    Dally inhaled sharply and slammed his hands down on the table. It spooked Johnny so bad that he flinched hard. "I've about had it with your folks, Johnny! They're awful to you! Why do you even—why do you still live over there? Why d'you bother, when this happens?"

    Johnny stared. He didn't have an answer for him. He truly didn't know why, but he didn't have it in him to leave. "I got nowhere else to go."

    "Now that just ain't true—" Dally huffed, "The Curtis kids would take you in like a stray pup in a lick of a second. Two-Bit's Ma would be happy to have ya. Hell, you could live with Steve. His dad sure ain't great, but at least he doesn't beat him stupid."

    "I don't wanna be a problem," Johnny admitted.

    "Kid, your old man is markin' you up so bad that you don't got a sliver of skin that ain't bruised. Nobody would think twice about letting you stay with 'em. As long as it keeps you away from this—" To get his point across, Dally reached over and pinched him by the cheek. "You don't deserve this, Johnny."

    And Johnny just stared at him.

    Or: Johnny misses the bus, gets a beating, and ends up ditching school to hang out with Dallas. They have a talk.

    Summary

    “So, have you given the camping trip any more thought?” Ned asks, and he groans internally at the change in subject.

    He'd much rather go back to talking about his non-existent love life, thanks.

    The trip is during spring break—a four day long trek out into the wilderness, camping and hiking and gathering who even knows what, learning all about nature and the great outdoors.

    But the real kicker?

    It's an event specifically designed for fathers and their sons, which is something Peter doesn't have, and something he will never be.

    Not again.

    —————

    Or: Peter longs to have a deeper relationship with his mentor, a more meaningful connection; but he's managed to convince himself that the only reason Tony Stark spends any time with him at all is purely because of his enhancement.

    Because of Spider-Man.
