Tony meant to bid on a girl—because, of course, he did—but then he found himself spontaneously dropping half a million dollars to steal the kid from Osborn.
And the kid, well, he's just so freaking stoked to be going on a date with his idol; all bubbly and bouncy and talking a mile a minute.
Tony finds it oddly endearing.
"I didn't even know you liked guys, Mr. Stark," the boy confessed shyly. "But… I'm really glad you chose me."
"Uh, no, I'm sorry, kid. It's not like that. I'm not into men."
"I just bid on you to save you from a date with that creep Osborn. A nice kid like you, he'd eat you up."
Peter blinked at him, looking down with a frown.
The kid looked so hurt, and Tony felt bad, but he really was straight… right?
Peter shook his head, giving him a strained smile.
"That's okay, Mr. Stark. I appreciate you, uh, saving me."
Tony nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Should we head out then?"
"Hey, it's no biggie. I don't have to be gay to pay for dinner."
Peter looked away, eyes stinging with tears.
"I—I appreciate it, but I think I'm gonna head home, if that's okay."
Tony shouldn't have hated it as much as he did, letting Peter walk away.
He told himself he just felt bad for hurting the kid's feelings, but now, he's confused because he can't seem to stop thinking about him.
