Peter stood outside shivering from the cold wet rain, hurrying inside soon after Tony invites him in. “Hey Mr Stark”, he smiles pulling the towel off of his head to dry himself off. “Pft, me getting kicked out? As if!”
Shaking his head he follows after Tony, “no coffee or tea for me but if you have like Coke or something I’ll take one!” Peter says patting himself down until he’s at least dry enough not to be dripping all over the floor.
“Aunt May is at a friends so I had the apartment to myself and I got really bored… and kinda lonely so I decided that I’d come bug you instead. Not the smartest idea I’ve had walking here in the rain but oh well!”
Peter held the towel out toward Tony, shirt and pants still wet as his hair lay a damp mess ontop his head. “Where do you want me to put this Mr Stark?” he asks smiling over at him.
Oh, so the kid wants some company.
He’s always ready to welcome company of his friends, especially if it’s Peter. He couldn’t think of it any other way; a fatherly instinct kicking in perhaps?
Tony blurted out “I see.” after Peter’s explanation. He was glad it wasn’t something that troubling. Even if he could complain about how dumb of an idea it was to come here instead of some school friend’s place.
“Just put it anywhere...” Stark spoke, looking around. “Throw it on that sofa if you want.” his chin jerked towards the mentioned furniture.
He stopped in his tracks, looking at the kid once again. His eyebrows furrowed in a thought before his mouth parted again to speak.
“You know what, go and take a shower. I’ll get you a change of clothes in the meanwhile because you’re not staying like that.” he shook his head slightly but it wasn’t out of any anger or anything.
“And I’ll see about that Coke.” he added with a smile.
