Chapter Text
Peter's day started as normal as it could, he woke up, fatigued, as usual, after freshening up, he made his way downstairs. The smell of pancakes reached his nose and his stomach growled, he quickened his pace, and saw Tony, in his pink apron, making breakfast. Yep, he's living in the avengers tower, with THE Tony Stark, actually, Tony and Pepper officially adopted him a year ago. Aunt May, died a year ago, it was a brutal accident, died on spot. It was hard, coming to terms with May's death, having no living family anymore, he truly an orphan now. Dealing with Aunt May's death,....he felt like he was responsible for it, am I a curse?, why is it that everyone one I love dies?
Tony and Pepper never left his side through it all, the avengers, whenever one was free, would always keep him company. Two months after Aunt May's death, Tony and Pepper sat him down, and bought up adoption. To say he was was shocked was an understatement, a warm sensation spread through his heart, They want me?,....Why?, a million thoughts went through his head, what if my curse gets to them? What if Tony dies? I can't- should I run away? I'll kill everyon-, "Pete? You good?" The sound Tony's voice bought him back to reality, Tony was staring at Peter with a concerned look on his face.
"Sorry kid, maybe this is too hasty? Do you want more time? I get it, maybe we were rushing, you don't have to agree on anything. We won't bring up adoption again if it's too much-", Tony started rambling, glancing at pepper then at him, seeing Tony be so anxious, Peter said in a small voice, "W-what if I kill you?" His voice trembled, he sounded genuinely scared, he looked down at his lap, afraid to look up at the expressions on Tony and Pepper's face's. He felt tears begin to form in his eyes, he tried so hard not to let them fall, but his tears decided to betray him.
"What do you mean kid?" Tony asked, looking confused, Pepper who was sitting next to Peter, gently rubbed his back, she also had a confused look on her face. Peter trembled before finally saying it out loud, "I-i'm a curse, e-everyone I love die! I-i don't want to harm you M-Mr.Stark, Ms.Potts." Peter was now shaking, tears kept rolling down his face, his eyes were clammed shut, afraid to see their reaction. Silence filled the room, he slowly opened his eyes, when someone immediately pulled him in a hug. Peter was shocked at the sudden hug, but welcomed it, Pepper hugged him tighter when she felt no resistance from him. He felt like his shoulder was wet, that's when he realized, she was trembling , Pepper was crying. Not knowing what to do, Peter looked at Mr.Stark, his eyes trembled when he saw unshed tears in Tony's eyes.
"Kid-" He started, before he took a deep breath, he looked hurt, as if he didn't know what to say, or more like he didn't know how to say it. "Kid, you are not a curse, nobody's death is your fault, fuck-" Peter heard him say under his breath, Pepper finally let go him, she still had her hand on my back, rubbing small circles there, "Why would you think that? Peter, you are not the cause of anyone's death, and will definitely not be of mine, or Pep. We love you kid, please for sake of my poor heart, never blame yourself again" Tony said, as he pulled Peter in a hug. "Exactly Peter, we love you, please stop blaming yourself, none of this is your fault, never" Pepper said, finally calming down, she still had some tears but wasn't crying anymore. Peter buried his face in Tony's neck, as tears started running down his face, he was crying again, but both Tony and Pepper stayed with him the whole night.
It took a whole month of constant reassurance before one day, during breakfast, Peter agreed to the adoption, Pepper and Tony were shocked at the sudden declaration but as soon as the shock wore off, they engulfed him in a hug. It took Peter some time to adjust to the whole, Parent thingy, but he's been doing well. Tony and Pepper helped him alot through the grief, and eventually after a year of living with them, he's gotten used to calling them dad and mom. He still called Tony, Mr.Stark to annoy him sometime's tho. On the first day he called Tony dad, he was ecstatic, and started crying, Pepper also cried when I called her mom.
"Morning Dad" Peter said as he sat down at the counter chair, "Slept good?" Tony asked as he put the freshly made pancakes in front of Peter, and sat. "Yeah, it was good" Peter said as he started shoving the pancakes in his mouth, "Slow down kid, the food isn't going anywhere" Tony said, looking disgusted, but his eyes showed affection. "Where's mom?" Peter asked, she's usually down way earlier then both of us, Peter thought. "Pep left early today, had some meeting to attend, she left her love tho" Tony said smiling, Peter chuckled at that, before remembering something "Oh, I almost forgot, can ned come over today? he got this really awesome 11,000 Lego piece, but he doesn't have enough space for it in his room to built it, please" I asked, dragging out the please.
"Sure kid, just don't take Ted into the lab, or any confidential place" Tony ruffled my hair, as he took a sip of his coffee. "It's Ned Dad, Ned!" Peter shook his head as he heard the man chuckling at that. "Happy's down, waiting for you, you better get going kiddo" Realizing he's getting late, he got up, oh, Happy's not gonna be happy, Peter quickly grabbed his bag from the couch, "Bye Dad! Love you!" He blurted out as he left in a rush, he caught Tony shaking his head fondly from the corner of his eyes, "Love you too roos".

It was science class, the sound of kid's talking and laughing could be heard, Mr. Harrington was late, which was abit unusual, as he's usually here before anyone. "Dude! You mean to tell me, I can come to THE stark industries!!?" Ned exclaimed bouncing in his chair, Peter felt his ears hurt from how loudly he shouted. "Ned, you've been there before" Peter shook his head fondly at his friend's excitement. "Yes! But it's Stark Industries bro!" Peter chuckled, he could honestly get it, even after living there for over a year, he still gets excited sometimes.
MJ, who was sitting behind them, leaned over "Shut up losers, you're too loud"
"MJ, do you wanna come over aswell?" Peter asked, as he looked at her, "Not interested in nerdiness, invite me over when black widow is there" Peter let out chuckle as he rolled his eyes at her, "Sure".
"When are you gonna stop with this bullsh*t about your fake internship Penis Parker!" Peter heard flash shout from across the classroom, he sighed, he felt MJ glare at Flash, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Mr. Harrington came in.
"Sorry about being late class" He said as he stood in the center of the class, he looked unusually happy. "But! I have an exciting news for you all!!" Mr Harrington exclaimed, Ned looked at Peter as he shrugged. "We are going on a Field Trip!!" As soon as he said that, loud groans could be heard across the class, the thing is, field trips... something always goes wrong. "Oh c'mon class, show some interest, I haven't even said where we're going yet!" his smile widened, "We are going to the STARK INDUSTRIES!" Gasps could be heard, followed immediately by cheers and excited chatter. Peter felt his heart beat faster, he probably heard wrong, Peter, closed his eyes as he asked, "Please tell me I heard it wrong" He could feel Ned and MJ staring at him, "You did?" Ned tried, as MJ chuckled, Peter groaned.
"I will now be handing you all the permission slips, I need them signed by tomorrow" he stated as he distributed the slips. Peter sat there, as Mr. Harrington came up to him, to hand him the slip, he stared at the slip in disbelief.
What is his life,....a f*cking field trip...to HIS OWN HOUSE......yep, life is over.
Finally the class ended, as Mr Harrington left, Flash strode over towards their table, "Get ready to get ALL your lies exposed Parker!" He smirked as he threw my bag down, what was the point of doing that? and left, all of his books were now scattered across the floor, sighing, he started picking them up.
"That little-" MJ stared daggers into flashes retreating figure. "You okay dude?" Ned asked, as he helped Peter pick up my notebooks. "Yeah, I guess" Peter said as he stood up. "I can't believe we're going on a Field Trip to Stark Industries!", Ned said excitedly "Only you can go on a Field Trip to your own house loser" MJ stated as she gave Peter a sympathetic pat on the back.
He's going on a field trip to his house,.....Dad's gonna be ecstatic, great.
