Paring- Peter Parker x stark!reader
Type: angst and fluff the usual
“Y/n?” Michelle called behind you as you scrolled through your phone “hold up I’m ordering our pizza” you mentioned opening the entrance door to reveal the lighted room, she scanned the hallway while you placed your phone in your back pocket, turning to her you could help but crack a smile at her wide glancing eyes “chip? You good girl?” She shook herself from the trance and looked at you embarrassed “yeah it’s just this place is so huge I can’t get used to it!” She exclaimed swinging an arm over your shoulder “thank you?” You answered unsure as you two walked into the common room.
“Hey Peter” she waved and he mimicked her action with a smile before turning to you with a roll of his brown eyes “y/n.” “Peter.” You exchanged empty looks, not noticing how uncomfortable MJ got by staring at your cold war.
“How was your day princess?” He teased, his tone cold and obnoxious in your ears, “Fuck off smurf boy” you hissed rising your middle finger.
“Imma go get something to drink want something?” You asked Michelle while turning towards the kitchen “sure get me the same as you” she shrugged taking a seat next to Peter, you shot her a kind smile and walked into the other room.
“What’s your problem Parker?” Michelle huffed, crossing her arms with a raised brow. “What?” “You know what.” “I..don’t?” “Ok.” She shrugged, letting a moment of tension settle down “oh did you know five guys already asked her on a date?” She lied, keeping cool seeing Peter reaction to her words. His jaw clenched and his eyes changed dangerously. “But I’m sure you don’t care” Michelle tapped his back seeing you walking inside with two glasses of juice, confusion written all over your features. His eyes shot fire at your direction and you put him off with by ignoring him all together. “Come on chip we can watch tv in the theater room” “cool! you have a theater room?!” Her jaw dropping with a slight smile as you both left the room, abandoning Peter behind.
Anger flood his veins, he should feel better knowing that if she’s with someone else it’ll be ok but he couldn’t let it go slide, just the thought of her kissing someone that isn’t him made his eyes gleam green with jealousy, he shouldn’t feel possessive over you, you aren’t his, he had his shots and every time he made you slip away, but he couldn’t let you be with someone else.
“Are you ok Peter?” Wanda called snapping the curly headed boy from his trance, his darkened eyes quickly built a wall of softness to hide the feeling within him.
He stood up and straightened his position “yeah of course! Just some school stuff..” “and the truth?” “Huh?” “You don’t need to feel overprotective of yourself your part of us now” she smiled kindly colliding her hands softly, after a moment of hesitation she spoke again “Y/n is going on a date with some guy” Wanda whispered politely taking a seat next to Peter who seemed too jumpy for her “who told you that??” He asked with wide eyes searching for answers in the blue oceans of the witch “Y/n. She has a date?” Her tone more calm and questioning as she she boarded into his eyes “and it isn’t you..?” She continued feeling his sadness breaking through his mind “No!” He jumped turning away from her to look at the coffee table in front of him “Wait. I-I don’t c-care. It’s her life I-uh..” he stammered quietly over his words but stopped at her blue revealing eyes “it’s really stupid of you to try and lie to someone who can read your mind Peter.” She stated with heavy accent causing the boy to turn red. “you read my mind?” He asked insecure “don’t need to. You’re been obvious.” She shrugged and reached for his his arm and motioning for him to sit down as well.
He looked at her with wide eyes letting his curtains fall to reveal his feelings “please don’t tell mr. Stark. He’d kill me! I can’t be with her! Mr. Stark would drop me from the Empire State Building!” He excused but Wanda just squinted her eyes at him “you’re scared that she’ll get hurt..you care about her. not Tony.” She stated lowly and the boy turned his gaze away his ears turning a color of bright red, “Peter..she had been going on mission since she was thirteen, she can defend herself...” she comforted placing a gentle hand over his making him look into her eyes “and right now. You’re the one hurting her not some sort of criminal.” She whispered a sad smile tugging on the ends of her lips.
And just like that she turned on her heels and walked out of the room. Peter closed his eyes all sorts of emotions mixed in his stomach.
Leaving to his room, your laughter swung to his ears and he couldn’t help but smile at the sweet sound, peeking to see you with a bright and beautiful smile, eating pizza with Michelle, the dimly lighted screen shining across your faces in the darkened room and the soft sound of mechanical old school laughter muffled in his senses as he turned to see the show you were watching.
“Hey girls!” Thor boomed dragging a socked Peter inside with a devilish smirk “oh hey bb” you called turning to see Peter red face collided with Thor’s chest, “bb?” Michelle asked confused “Brother bear” you explained to you dumbfound friend who simply shook her head smiling as a response. “What are you watching?” “Friends” you grinned taking another bite from your pizza “that sounds wonderful! And who’s your friend?” “Michelle Jones” she waved as thor slammed to the red leather couch next her with Parker on his side, desperately trying to escape to gain some air to his lunges.
“Pleasure. Will you staying for dinner? I’m going to cook” he said proudly and you couldn’t help but show your disapproval unlike your friend who couldn’t hold her excitement in her eyes.
“you are?” You both asked in unity, her voice surprised and intrigued unlike you who showed nothing but disappointment “But last time—“ you started but was cut immediately by a fake hurting god “I’m better now lady y/n. You’re disgracing my cooking skills.” “Yeah. I have my reasons..” you scoffed with an unapologetic grin “well I think thor would be a great cook” Peter voice called and you couldn’t help but think he was doing it on purpose just to go specifically against you, “of course you do” you rolled your eyes and turned your sight away from him to focus on the movements on the screen “what that supposed to mean huh princess?” He taunted and you shot a warning glare at him “Call me like this one more time and I’ll send my missiles at you.” You hissed seeing his satisfied grin “I’m just supporting Thor” he shrugged innocently “yeah well feel free to wash the kitchen after that mess.” You growled angrily ignoring your friend smirk “Kitchen?” “Yes.” You answered rudely, an uncomfortable coldness set in the room while the two of you glared at each other completely ignoring the two people that were sitting between you awkwardly.
“Fine.” He said with honeyed voice unlike you who answered “Fine” neglecting the conversation with the witty boy and turning to Mj.
“Would you shut up? I’m trying to watch the show.” Peter spoke confidently as you and Michelle halted your conversation, you and Michelle turned to him with a bitch face, Michelle then looked over to see thor grinning at the situation.
“We were here first you can go watch it in your room if we’re annoying you.” You commented defensively, “No.” He answered “Then shut up.” You repeated his cold words, staring into each other eyes, his chocolate eyes choking you defeat, making your cheek burn up and feeling a bit bittersweet about the whole situation.
He sent you a playful smirk before returning to look at the colorful scream.
You rolled your eyes annoyed and threw a pillow at his face, not noticing the knowing looks the two characters beside you exchanged during your little bickering.
A few hours past and by now, Thor had left to make the so called dinner he was planning while you informed the team and they all chose to order Chinese.
Peter took his seat because “he wanted to see better”, mj trapped alone between the quiet tension without the friendly god.
The curly headed boy kept quiet, no comments to annoy you or teasing just a few times you caught him look at you shyly before returning to stare blankly at the screen.
Suddenly the uncomfortable tension between the two of you because a settling quietness filled background voices.
Your eyes flattered tiredly at the screen, the darkness of the room covering you like a blanket forcing you to shut your eyes and ignoring your surroundings.
“Dinner’s Re—” Bucky stopped at the entrance staring at the two teenagers sleeping on the couch, you somehow fell asleep on Peter’s shoulder, his arm stretching to your form and his brown curls resting on the top of your head.
He slowly walked down the stairs and pulled out his phone, by now after a million time you explained to him, he managed took a picture.
it was sweet and innocent and totally gonna get you in trouble.
He watched his steps as he placed a fuzzy blanket over your curdled bodies and left as fast as he came.
The laughter in the dining room stopped to the sound of screaming, they all rushed to the direction of the theater room leaving their take-away packages scrambled on the table.
“This is your fault!” You yelled jumping away from Peter, your heart beat fastened as you released yourself from his touch “s-sorry!” He stammered feeling his fast going all red, seeing the strange and kind look on your face he reminded himself of his act “My fault!? You fell asleep on me!” He blamed, both of you blushing with embarrassment and anger “Well you did too!” You argued crossing your arms over you small and angry physic “it was nice ok what do you want me to say?” He blushed with a soft smile shooting you a shy smirk “Anything but that! You are so confusing Parker!” You whined placing your hands over your face trying to brush away the heat that won’t stop to add onto your face “I do it because I have to!” He confessed but you brushed it off desperately believing that it’s another excuse “Yeah ok whatever!” You yelled feeling your stomach flipping at your words. For a moment he was quite, his spider senses informing him about the movement in the room.
“Stop whining! You say you’re not a princess but look at you!” He hissed flying his hands to the air dramatically “Fuck you Peter!” You screamed kicking the boy down to the floor, anger flooding your body.
“This is priceless!” Bucky chuckled while the You argued, making the group around him look at each other confused, “What did you do?” Steve questioned gripping to his best friend’s shoulder, he swiftly pulled out the picture from his phone and showing the way you and tangled together to the group “Oh..awwwww!” They all called in realization grabbing yours and Peter’s attention, making you both turn even more red with embarrassment (if that was even possible) “Spiderboy you finally made a move?” Sam teased causing the boy to stumble away from you hugging his arm nervously “W-what? N-no!” He protested still laying on the wine colored carpeting “and he never will!” You replied flustered storming away from the room shooting Peter a deadly look before pushing the stalking group, grabbing Michelle by the arm and leading her away.
“I just can’t with him anymore! I hate him I hate him! I hate him!” You roared completely ignoring your father overworked frame as you stormed up the stairs, he pointed his finger wanting to say something but taking by your angered voice he did what everyone should do when you’re pissed and turned back. “Why though?” Michelle asked calmly trying to keep up with your speed “Because he’s an idiot! And arrogant and ugh I just hate him em.” You stated turning to her with your face completely red and fiery tears glossing your eyes, the ding from the elevator distracting your thoughts.
“Why do you hate being called princess?” “Because. They’re snobby, rude, whining brats that’s why.” You spoke coldly, answering quickly as if the answer was already prepared for you. “And I’m no royalty.” You whispered opening your door forcefully letting her enter your room, “your room is cool” “thanks...” “so...” “I’m sorry...I didn’t mean for your first time visiting me to be..this.” “It’s cool. I had fun! Like I got to hangout with the fucking avengers! I think I’m good” she chuckled and you let your lips curl into a smile.
The rest of the evening you two talked about everything, well she listened to your rumbling on what you should do for your birthday and she suggested you to hang out with her and the guys, you of course, politely declined refusing to go near Peter unless you were needed to. “What about a party? Your father must have done millions of those you should throw your own” she shrugged and you stopped your pacing and looked at her surprised “you. Of all people. Suggesting I’ll do a party?” You taunted making her roll her eyes at you with a smirk “I hate being around the people in school. But you seem to like them so I don’t see why not” she shrugged and looked at her phone briefly, “I’ll think about it..” you huffed and placed your hands in your jeans pockets “look I gotta go but if you want to talk you know where to find me” she bowed “please not you too...” you faked a whine and walked with her towards the door continuing a small talk “and if he gives you some serious trouble tell me and I’ll kick his ass for you” she joked as you opened the door, the slight wind sending you a cold shiver as a reminder to the jacket you left in the theater room “no need. We could do it as a team work!” You laughed waving to her as she slid into the SUV.
Turning on your heel you kept smiling, you finally had a good friend, that you could see everyday without the feeling of being left behind. *ding* the sound of a message clicked in your brain and in less than a second your phone was placed in your hands.
• ‘dude. Have you seen the last episode of y/f/s’
you looked at the screen name ‘fangirl’, referring to the blond headed girl you met this morning, also known as Madison.
You shook your head slowly turning to the needed room
•‘not yet why? what happened??’
•‘No spoilers! But oh my god! It was freaking amazing and I am so happy and agjsgdve!!’
A few minutes past as you entered the large room turning on the light that reflected across the black leather sofas.
You giggled at her response, promising to watch it soon you closed the bright screen and grabbed your jacket that was predicated to be behind your seat.
“Hey there you are!” Your father called from the top of the stairs, his voice gentle and excitable leaving you questioning the tone. “Yes papa?” You raised your eyebrows suspiciously, quickly making your way up the flight of stairs “I want to hear about your first day!” He beamed, a fatherly grin appearing on his lips as you took his open arm. “come on I ordered us some food” he mentioned walking towards the kitchen.
“Ugh” you rolled your y/c/e eyes seeing the boy sitting at the marble bar surrounded by books and pens, he didn’t even look at you and just let a sigh “same goes for you.” “Excuse me?” Your father asked with a threatening voice causing the boy a small heart attack, turning to him pale as a ghost “S-sorry Mr.Stark” you felt a bit sorry for him, and maybe a bit in aw but instead you crossed your arms and flipped your hair backwards “s-sorry M-mr. S-stark” you mocked your eyes mimicking his puppy ones lifting the amount of tension in the room as he stared at you his cheeks turning red in no time.
Your father stood awkwardly in the crossfire that was going on between the two teenagers.
With a cough he brought the attention back to him “uh..did you kids get into a fight or something?” Eyeing Peter, you answered for the guilty boy who seemed nervous under the glare of your father “Does it matter?” You huffed, letting go of your dad’s hold and walking to the counter where your favorite Italian pasta laid in a plastic box, fumes covering the clear plastic lid, hiding the delicious sight from you.
“Yes?” He sang awkwardly, you darted your eyes to him coldly before realizing your doing and letting your gaze soften “No. It doesn’t.” You whispered grabbing the stack boxes and handing your father his while placing the rest on the table and taking a seat next to your dad, after a few minutes of cold silence your father finally spoke again “Ok this is getting awkward Peter go to your room” he ordered and the boy crumbled the paper surrounding him mumbling “yes sir” before stumbling his way out.
“So?” “He’s an idiot.” You answered stuffing the food in your mouth, your father kept quiet and raised his brow with a slight smirk creeping to his lips “I meant about school y/n/n..” “oh school was awesome! I got homework!” You cheered and he shook his head in disbelief that same smile not leaving him “I think you’re the only teenager excited to get homework” “Well because it’s easy and what do I care” you shrugged and returned to your peaceful eating.
After a minute or so your father eyed you and you quickly raised a curious brow at him “and friends?” He questioned “Friends?” “Yeah you know..kids your age that are friendly?” He suggested but seeing the creeping smirk that was running to your lips he was quick to continue “But not too friendly!” You nodded your head with a small giggle “Yeah I met some cool people! Wouldn’t call them friends yet but acquaintances is a fair word” “could you tell me more about your ‘acquaintances’?” He interrogated while taking a sip from his beer “So you could look them up?” “Maybe?” He shrugged looking away but turning to you with honesty mid second “Yes. But it’s just to see if they’re good influences on you.” You huffed dramatically and placed a hand over your forehead pretending to be a victim “Let me be father” you breathed and he played along placing a hand over your shoulder and looking over your shoulder “you know I can’t child of mine” you both laughed at the moment and continued talking about his latest projects and even your birthday coming up, though you didn’t brought the idea of a party just yet.
“Well I think it’s time for bed it’s a school night” he teased planting a kiss at the top of your head while grabbing the empty boxes away from you “yeah yeah..” “oh and y/n?” “About Pete—” “oh trust me. You don’t need to worry anymore. And feel free to keep him away from me.” You smiled sarcastically walking towards the hallway before turning to him with a slight smile, trying your hardest not to show the sadness in the next words “I hate spiders anyways”
“What did you do?” Tony erupted Peter’s room and slammed the door after him, both anger and confusion flooding his body “M-mr. Stark!” Peter said nervously, quickly jumping to get closer to his mentor “What did you do kid?” He asked, trying to sound more curious than angered, Peter eyes widened with fear trying his hardest to remember the few bad things he did in the past two weeks “It was Sam’s idea to prank you I swear! He said if I won’t do it he’d—“ he yelped sweat forming on his forehead nervously “I meant about my daughter. What did you do and why does she hates you?” Tony cut and the room became quiet.
“She hates me?” The boy whispered, it was his plan but it was hurting him a lot more than he expected, worse than any villain that ever punched him. “According to her.” Tony stated as gloss covered the chocolate eyes in front of him “I thought you two liked each other and now you hate each other and it’s barely been a week!” The elder stark called misunderstanding the whole situation “Y-yes..” Peter whispered, his eyes forming tears at the ends his eyes “what happened?” Tony placed a gentle hand over the boy’s almost trembling shoulder and even though Peter kept his gaze on the floor he talked sincerely like an adult “I’m protecting her. Keeping my distance like you asked..or making her keep her distance to be exact.” He huffed and looked at your father eyes with bravery, “By making her hate you?” “Y-yeah apparently.” He shrugged his breath becoming uneven at the words.
After a long silence where Tony looked off and a bit shamed for letting this situation happen he turned to Peter, tilting his head a bit and squinting his eyes sending the boy into a spiral of ways where he’d die in any given moment “pranking me?” “Ye-eah...” “you might not want to use your shampoo today.” “Why?” He crossed his arms, glaring at the kid in front of him “Just don’t.” Peter smiled awkwardly brushing the back of his neck “Ok then...” he nodded letting his arms free “get some rest kid” Tony smiled, pointing at the boy with a raised brow “yes sir” Peter saluted him and turned on his hills as Tony shook his head and closed the door after him and let a quiet sight, something clicked in his head and he now fully understood why you liked him, he was ready to sacrifice himself than put you in danger, something no teenager he’d met by now was capable of doing. And sure he didn’t want the two of you together but god he knew that hate coming from you is never good.
