“That’s the sort of thing you’re supposed to call Happy about first. That’s why I gave you his number in the first place.” Not to constantly ask him about when he can join the Avengers, though that had stopped after Peter’s run in with the Vulture and subsequent decision to not join the team, officially. Tony was a little more relieved by his taking the responsible path; a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was less likely to get killed (not impossible, in a city like New York, but definitely less likely). Though he definitely won’t admit that out loud. “This is a real person, and not from a movie, right kid? You got a name for me?”
❛ i did call happy, mr. stark. ❜ the thing is, happy had been a little preoccupied with other tasks to humour him with the situation. after what’s happened with the vulture, peter reckoned that happy would spare him the cold shoulder. alas, he’d insisted that it was urgent business he had to tend to at the time. ❛ yes, this a real person, ❜ he confirms, almost a bit too excitedly. perhaps he should tone it down a notch ? except, that wouldn’t be like him at all. ❛ uh— um... ❜ brows furrow, hand rising to rub the back of his neck. then he visibly lights up, a small smiling tugging at his lips. ❛ oh, right ! his name was nate ... nathaniel. nathaniel something ! i was ... well, a bit too busy fighting him to pick up his name. ❜ smooth, peter. smooth.
@atimebomb cont’d bc i didn’t want to be notified every time on my multi.
