All I want for Christmas is…
Summary: The team and their family are having Christmas dinner at the Stark Tower. But a few minutes into the party, there’s a blackout. When the lights come back on, there’s a big surprise for your parents, Tony and Pepper.
A/N: Hello! Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all enjoy this fic about the team and their family! There’s a happy ending, of course. Feedback is appreciated <3
‘’Yeah, see you later, Mike. Merry Christmas! Oh and you too, Jessica. Bye!’’ you said to a couple you had known for a while now, heading to your locker. It was Friday and five minutes ago it had been the last time this year that you were saved by the bell. ‘Christmas vacation, here I come.’ you thought as you were putting your books in your locker and closing it but you startled when you saw Peter Parker standing next to you with a grin on his face. ‘’Hello, sweetie.’’
You gave your boyfriend a gentle push against his shoulder but he pulled you closer, pressing his lips against your soft lips, holding on for just a bit longer than usual which made you smile and blush lightly. ‘’Hey, I thought you were free at 2?’’ you asked curiously and wrapped your arms around his neck, biting your lip.
Peter nodded and planted another kiss on your nose, staring into your eyes. ‘’I was but I waited for you. It will be Christmas evening soon and your father invited every Avenger to the Tower, including me. Aunt May will be there too so we can go together, right?’’
‘’Oh that’s really nice of my dad. And Aunt May is always so nice to me, I love her but do you think it is a good idea for us to come together? Isn’t that suspicious, babe?’’
He frowned and shook his head, capturing you between his body and the lockers as he deepened the kiss, pinching your butt softly. ‘’It won’t be suspicious. They all think we’re just friends, hon.’’
You did return the kiss but pushed your boyfriend away as soon as he pinched you, rolling your eyes fondly. ‘’Not if you keep doing that. You know some kids at this school know my dad and they will tell him,’’ you sighed and grabbed your bag and coat, grabbing Peter’s hand.
Peter smirked and laced your fingers together. ‘’Still, you always grab my hand on our way out,’’ he whispered so softly you could barely hear him.
You and Peter had just arrived home, at your father’s Tower, when you were making out in the elevator because you knew…oh dear, you knew that the elevator was slow as f*ck.
‘’No, no, marks in my neck, Pete. They’ll see,’’ you murmured and moaned softly when he went lower, moving your shirt away to kiss your shoulder. ‘’They won’t,’’ he assured you once more but then the elevator stopped moving, making you flinch. ‘’Get off me, quick,’’ you whispered and pulled your shirt back up, smiling at Tony and the other Avengers when the doors opened.
‘’Y/N! I was wondering when you were coming,’’ Natasha said as she was smiling brightly, standing up from where she sat on the floor to hug you. ‘’I see you brought young Peter along with you, Miss Y/N,’’ Thor added and shook your boyfriend’s hand, patting him on the shoulder.
‘’Yeah, I bumped into him on my way here and he has presents!’’ you cheered happily and walked to your father, kissing his cheek. ‘’Hey, dad. When did the party start?’’
‘’Just now, sweetheart. No party without my beautiful daughter, right?’’ Tony said and chuckled when he saw Clint’s children running towards you, Nataniel jumping in your arms. ‘’Y/N!! I already know how to count to ten, wanna hear?’’ the boy brabbled as you laughed, nodding.
‘’One, two, three, four, five, six…uhh, ten!’’ he yelled a bit too loud in your ear and everyone laughed. ‘’Good job, honey!’’ you mumbled with a proud smile and placed the boy back with his feet on the floor, letting him walk back to his mother again after you’d ruffled his hair.
All of the Chrismas lights were shining upon New York as Tony, your father had served a beautiful dinner. Well, your mother did, to be honest, and everyone was enjoying the food.
‘’Wow, this is amazing, Pepper. Which ingredients did you use for the salad?’’ Laura asked with a smile as she took another bite.
Your mom laughed and glanced at you quickly. ‘’Ask Y/N, she has the secret ingredient.’’
‘‘Oh really?’‘ Laura said and curiously raised her eyebrow, looking at you but you shook your head. ‘‘Not gonna tell any of you,’‘ you teased. ‘‘Wait ‘till you taste the chicken,’‘ you murmured but then your dad startled.
‘‘The chicken!’‘ he yelled and jumped up from his chair before making his way over to the kitchen and grabbing the oven mitts to grab the chicken out of the oven. He expected there to be a lot of smoke but as soon as he opened the oven, the chicken was fine and your dad sighed in relief. ‘‘Oh thank god,’‘ he mumbled and got the chicken out. ‘‘Time for the real dinner, guys,’‘ Tony announced and placed the chicken on the table, grabbing a knife to cut it and give everyone a big piece. ‘‘I’m the oldest here so I get the largest, of course,’‘ your father teased and you laughed but quickly the Captain chimed in, also laughing. ‘‘NIce try, tho I think I’m the oldest, officially,’‘ he murmured happily but then Thor started to talk. ‘‘I’m not so sure of that, Captain,’‘ he said with a grin on his face and Peter who was sitting next to you, could no longer hold in his laugh.
‘‘Well, I’m glad you are all enjoying dinner,’‘ Pepper said as she stood up to propose a toast. ‘‘I want to thank everyone for coming here and as I said, I’m happy you all enjoy the food. Peter, this is your first time here with the family so, enjoy the evening. Dessert will be coming soon so leave a little space for that and Merry Christmas, everyone!’‘ she said with a smile on her face before taking a sip of her drink, everyone else doing the same. ‘‘Merry Christmas!’‘ everyone cheered before going back to their conversation. Tony pulled Pepper on his lap and kissed her lovingly after putting a stroke of hair behind her ear.
You smiled and looked around the table at everyone having a good time and underneath the table, Peter grabbed your hand and gave a light squeeze. ‘’I love you,’’ he whispered which made you blush. ‘’Love you more,’’ you whispered back.
After dessert, Nathaniel and Harley were playing with dinosaurs in the corner next to the Christmas tree while Natasha and Laura were chatting together on the couch. Thor, Steve and Tony were having a drink at the bar, a few feet away from everyone else. While Pepper was cleaning the table with the rest of the team’s help. You and Peter were quietly talking about presents and dinner in one of your father’s big chairs. You sat close to him with a smile on his face. ‘’You can’t tell Bucky yet but I bought him Christmas magnets for his arm,’’ you whispered and Peter almost spit out his drink. ‘’No way, you better start running, baby,’’ he mumbled and laughed, shaking his head.
‘‘He’s gonna love it,’‘ you replied and as soon as you finished your sentence, the tower went dark, all the lights were out. You looked up and then around you but failed to see anything. ‘‘Dad?’‘ you said while the others remained silent.
For a few seconds, all you could hear was breathing before Nathaniel started to cry and Laura quickly picked him up gentle and started humming a lullaby.
‘‘Yeah, uh, I’ll go check out the generator. Pep, honey, could you light some candles? Be right back,’‘ he said and on his way, Harley bumped into him. ‘‘Tony, can I come with you?’‘ he asked unsurely but Tony smiled. ‘‘Yeah, come, I’ll lead the way,’‘ he said and left the room.
A few minutes later, no candles lighted, Tony and Harley came back, telling that it was just a blackout and there wasn’t anything that he could do about it. They did have an emergency generator but Tony forgot where he’d put it. And the only one who knew was Jarvis but he was shut down.
‘‘We used the last candles during dinner, sweetheart,’‘ Pepper explained and sighed a little bit. ‘‘Well al we can do now is wait till the lights go back on, sorry!’‘ Tony mumbled.
‘‘It is not your fault, Anthony,’‘ Thor chimed in.
A half hour later and moments of laughed passed on. You and Peter were still on the chair, kissing each other sometimes, sure that nobody could see you now. ‘’I love you, Peter Parker,’’ you whispered into his ear, everyone else chatting loudly.
Peter laughed lovingly and cupped your cheeks before planting a long lasting kiss on your lips, right when the lights turned back on.
‘‘Oh! Yay!’‘ Harley cheered. Most of the team smiled and looked at each other. ‘‘Luckily it didn’t last that long! Party is still on!’‘ Rhodey said but then it went quiet again when Tony saw you and your boyfriend kissing.
‘‘Y/N?’‘ he asked, his voice soft but surprised.
You opened your eyes suddenly and pulled away from Peter, taking a breath. ‘’I- so the lights are back on…’’ you rambled and swallowed nervously. ‘’Please don’t ban Peter from the tower.’’
‘‘Please don’t ban me from the tower,’‘ Peter repeated and looked at Tony like a scared puppy.
‘‘How long?’‘ Tony asked and looked at both you and Peter. You frowned and were confused for a few seconds. ‘‘How long what, dad?”
‘‘Two months, sir,’‘ Peter replied for you and glanced at Pepper now who had a small smile on her face and a cup of chocolate milk in her hands.
You expected your father to be mad, to kick Peter out or something like that. Or at least give him a big speech. ‘’Are you going to hurt her?’’ Tony asked, his voice calm but stern.
Peter instantly shook his head. ‘’No, sir. Of course not. Wouldn’t even think about it.’’
‘‘Good. Will you take care of her?’‘ he asked, raising his eyebrow. Peter smiled and nodded. ‘‘Yes, sir. I’ll give my life for her if I have to.’‘
‘‘I got this, Pep,’‘ Tony cut her off and came closer towards Peter and his daughter. ‘‘Come here, Y/N,’‘ he mumbled and you stood up and before you could say anything, he hugged you and pressed a kiss on your forehead. ‘‘I love you, Y/N. And I can see Peter does too. So he’s okay. He can stay, don’t worry.’‘
‘‘You’re a good kid,’‘ he now turned to Peter and shook his hand before walking back to his wife and kissed her lips lovingly. ‘‘Now, I believe we were in the middle of a party?’‘
Pepper laughed and Thor threw his cup on the floor. ‘’Another!’’ he yelled. Tony sighed. ‘’Dum-E! You got something to clean!’’
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoyed this little holiday fic with the team and their family. I hope that all of you are enjoying these days and if you’re not, remember: it will all be good eventually. Xoxo
