Summary: Peter is an introvert.

(a/n: here's my birthday present to you :) sorry for not updating for almost a month, been busy with final weeks and projects)

Peter had to attend a party at the Avengers Tower. He has no energy to attend such a big party as his social energy always runs out as soon as he makes contact with people.

Tony didn't let tell him what kind of party it is so he just wear a casual outfit. A dark grey plaid-pattern bottom, a plain blue sweater with a white shirt underneath and white Vans shoes.

Looking good. He moves in circle while looking at his outfit. Then, he grab his phone and an earphone then blast into some Joji.

Happy couldn't pick him up that night because Tony had asked him to help him with the preparation. May is like always, picking up some night shifts at the hospital as they need more energy since its the weekend.

He lock the door and walk down the apartment stairs. He look at the time, showing that its 7.55 p.m.. The party will start in 5 but he's sure that Tony won't be mind if he's late.

The night walk to the tower was pretty much chill. There's no crime happening around, just people having a nice dinner or vibing to literally anything.

As soon as he arrived at the tower, he enter the elevator and told FRIDAY to bring him to the penthouse, where the party will be held.

"Its just a party, you know? We kinda needed to get away for the weekend so we thought maybe we should have fun." Tony said with Sam agreeing.

"Just a party between us. Maybe we should celebrate our efforts and hard work." Bucky suggested and they immediately agreed.

Tony rush downstairs and he look at everyone in excitement. "Today is Peter's birthday!" He exclaimed. Everyone who sit in the dining room has either their food or water choked out.

"Peter's birthday?" Nat got surprised to that fact. "Yeah, its August 10th. Should we throw a birthday party for him?"

Everyone immediately agree and get on their lists. Pepper handle few guests while the rest are going to decorate the place.

The elevator opened and it reveals lots of people at the penthouse. There are some people that he didn't recognize, some are his friends.

"Peter! Happy birthday!" Someone wished. Peter brought his phone to his face and its actually August 10th. "Thanks, Mr.-" before he could finish, the man sloppily walked away.

He sit at the dining table and just drink the fruit punch. He knew that Tony wouldn't serve alcohol as he is a complete sober now.

Clint grab Peter and head to the dance floor. "Come on boy, its your birthday today!" They all danced along to the upbeat song. Peter just stand there wearing his party hat but he didn't danced along.

Feeling normal as an introvert, he just went back to the dining table and stay there. Soon, lots of people has been asking Peter.

"Why are you feeling so down?"
"Are you alright? Say something."
"He look so cold, is this a trend?"
"Why are you not having fun?

He just doesn't expect that they would throw him a birthday party. He thought that its just a normal average party between them. They all keep dancing to the songs that is playing throughout the penthouse.

As time passes by, everyone soon starts to play some games at the dining table.

"Nat! That's cheating!" Harley shouted while laughing. "No I didn't cheat!?" She protested. Both Harley and Nat keep fighting that Bucky had to stop both of them by lifting their shirts up.

Peter just put his head down on the table as his surrounding starts to get lit because of the game. He's still in his youth year but he hasn't done much anything that is interesting other than staying home and listen to music all the time.

One by one starts to fall down on the floor with their droopy eyes. Peter watch his steps as he make his way to the elevator but Tony caught his foot, telling him not to leave. "Its your party, enjoy it!" He said.

So Peter didn't leave. He does feel bad for them because they did everything to throw him a party but he doesn't like parties. Some people are still drinking and playing games so Peter just walk around and play with some things that he never seen around the penthouse.

He went back to the dining table and scroll through his phones while listening to music through his earphone. He saw Snapchat and Instagram stories where people wished his birthdays and some stories where he saw people enjoying that night.

He lift up his head to see Steve lying on the table, sleeping. Now it feels kinda quiet that everyone is tired. He put the volume to the max.

He went on the damce floor and enjoy the rest of the night by dancing off on the floor. This is the kind of party that he wants.

A party all by himself. Just him alone on the dancefloor having an imaginary dance-off. He spin around the dance floor like nobody's watching.

An hour passed, Peter still dance on the floor, celebrating his birthday as if he's on his own. He felt a fonger poking his back so he take off the earphone and turn around.

He saw May holding a piece of Spider-Man cake with everyone behind her. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Peter..." The voice fades out as Peter run out from the building.

He walk out and he look behind him, making sure that no one is following him. He carelessly run around the neighbourhood and just feeling his freedom for being a 16 years old.

He still have few years left before his youth ends. He wants to make memories and find his true self so he can live it to the fullest.

When its already 9am, he came back to the tower. Most people were standing right in front of the elevator, staring him down.

"You didn't have fun. Why? Its your birthday party." Pepper asked. "Oh, I did. But you guys were sleeping. It was the best one, to be honest." He smiled and get through the crowd.

"Any song can change my mood and I'd still live to the fullest."
