trans peter parker a.u. & before he gets turned into spiderman

"so... what do we think?" peter steps out of his room, holding his arms out so aunt may could look at him. she gasps, covering her mouth. "peter, your smile looks so much brighter and happier," she says through her hands, with tears springing up in her eyes. peter laughs, "i am happier, may. i already feel more like myself!" he walks over to may and hugs her. they sit there for a moment before he speaks again, "may, thank you so much for supporting me. i don't know what i would do if i had to go through this alone." aunt may pulls away from the hug, holding his shoulders and looking him in the eyes, "i love you, peter. you will always be my favorite person in the world and i will always support you. i hope you know that ben and your parents are looking down on you and support you too." peter doesn't necessarily believe in things like heaven or an afterlife, but he's tearing up nonetheless, "thank you, may. i love you." she pushes a stray piece of hair out of his eyes and kisses his forehead, "now off to school with you, mr. parker!" she laughs and peter stands up before turning around, "did you get around to emailing my teachers and principal?" "done and done," she says, "mr. peter parker is enrolled officially." they laugh again and he heads into his room.

he looks at himself in the mirror, his newly cut hair and his mostly flat chest. he lifts up his shirt to look at his binder. "make sure not to wear it too long," aunt may's words echo in his head, "like, you have to take it off as soon as you get home. it will damage your lungs if you don't." he knows he'll have to take it off later, but now, he feels like he never wants to remove it. he can't afford hormone therapy at the moment and he's only 14, so he can't get a job to save up either, but his birthday was last weekend and he was so grateful that may got him a haircut and a binder. his phone chimes and he's pulled out of his thoughts. 'ready for our first day back?' the text from ned reads. peter had told his two best friends about his dysphoria and transitioning last year, but hasn't showed them his new haircut or his binder yet. he smiles and types back, 'yes and prepare yourselves. peter parker has a new look. 👀' he smiles to himself before putting his backpack on and getting ready to leave. "love you, may!" peter yells out, "i'm going now." he opens the door before may responds, "okay, i love you too, pete! make sure you play it safe with your binder!" "okay, i will," he answers and locks the door behind him. 

when he gets to school, everyone is laughing and talking and hugging and peter looks around for his friends. he spots them in the corner and rushes over. ned and m.j. are talking to one another excitedly (as excitedly as m.j. gets) and don't notice peter coming over. he quietly sits down in front of them and clears his throat. they look over and both ned and m.j.'s eyes widen. "oh my god, peter," m.j. says and reaches over to touch his hair. peter laughs, "what do you guys think?" peter thinks he sees ned blushing before he speaks, "uh... well, i-it's amazing." now its peter's turn to blush, "thank you." "you look so much more like yourself," m.j. says and ned nods in agreement. peter laughs, "that's what may said! i feel like myself. i don't feel like perrie pretending to be peter anymore, i feel like i am peter." "you are peter, and you always have been," m.j. says, putting a hand on his shoulder. peter almost cries at m.j.'s surprising sincerity, but the bell rings before he gets the chance.

they walk to class and peter feels like everyone in the hallway is staring at him. he looks down at his shoes while walking, trying not to think about it. "you okay?" ned whispers and peter looks over at him. "yeah, i'm okay," peter hugs his books to his chest and suddenly trips over something, sending his books flying. "parker, is that you?" flash says, laughing harshly. peter realizes that flash tripped him and he glares at him. "what's your fucking problem?" m.j. says as ned helps peter up. "she's a freak," flash says, "i don't want freaks in my school." "first of all, he goes by he/him, so address him as such, and second off, he's not a freak," m.j. says and peter looks down at his shoes. "so, parker, what do you have to say? are you a freak or not?" flash's words have venom dripping from them. "i-i," peter begins, stuttering, "i'm n-not a freak." he looks up at flash, who has a smirk on his face. flash walks over to peter and looks him in the eyes, "you are a freak, perrie parker." "my name is peter," peter says confidently before grabbing his friends' arms and heading off to class.

throughout the day, peter gets misgendered by almost all of his teachers. he would sigh each time and say, "my name is peter now, my aunt emailed you about it. please call me peter and use he/him pronouns." he practiced saying this in the mirror at home in the days leading up to today, getting more and more sure of himself each time. by the end of the first school week, almost everyone knew his name and were calling him by it. of course, there are always a few transphobes who refuse to call trans people by their chosen name and, unfortunately for peter, one of those transphobes was his longtime bully, flash gordon. this lead to alot of deadnaming with no consequence from the school because his father's money could get him out of any trouble that the school could dish out.

throughout the week, peter had noticed that ned was acting less like himself around peter. he didn't know what he had done wrong, but, everytime he's thought about bringing it up, he gets too nervous and decides against it. 'hey, are you guys going to the first week fair thing tomorrow night?' peter's phone lights up with a group chat text from m.j. 'if you guys are going, i'll be there,' peter types back. they had learned yesterday that the high school had a fair after the first week of school ended. peter didn't have much money, but he missed his friends over the summer and wanted to hang out with them outside of school. he had heard that an avenger would be there too, which excited peter, because he was a huge superhero fan. he had met ironman when he was young, like 5 or 6, before his parents died, and he decided then that he was obsessed with superheroes. he bought comics and action figures anytime he had money to do so and his favorites were sitting up on his desk. 'i'll be there!' peter is pulled out of his thoughts by a text from ned. 'can't wait :),' peter wrote back. he decided that he needed to talk to ned about the awkwardness at the fair.

friday night rolled around and peter is on his way out. "aunt may, i'm leaving," peter says, walking into the kitchen. "here, take this," she holds out a $20 bill to him. he shakes his head, "may, i don't need that, you should keep it." she laughs and grabs his hand, putting the money in it. "please take it. and have fun," she gives him a kiss on the forehead and he sighs before putting the money in his pocket. "thanks, aunt may. i love you," he walks over to the door, opening it. she waves, "i love you too! be safe."

peter excitedly made his way to the fair set up outside of their school in the football field. he, m.j., and ned decided to meet outside of the entrance and peter seemed to be the first one of his group to arrive. he sat down on the bench and waited for his friends to arrive. about five minutes after he got there, ned comes over to sit down beside him, "hey peter!" "oh, h-hey, ned," peter can feel himself blushing and he mentally scolds himself. "can we talk about something?" they both say at almost the same time and their eyes go wide. ned blushes again and looks away, "uh... y-you can go first." "oh, um... i'm just worried about us," peter says and ned looks back at him, surprised. "why?" ned questions. "j-just... since the first day of school, you've been acting kind of weird, like, quieter than normal and more awkward and stuff towards me. i'm just nervous that you're mad at me or think i'm weird or something," all of peter's feelings rush out and he looks away from ned.

"peter," ned says softly and peter feels ned put his hand over his own. butterflies erupt in his stomach. he looks back at ned and both of them are blushing. "peter," ned starts again, "i'm sorry i made you think that. i just. i've always... kind of... had a little bit of a crush on you. i don't want to ruin our friendship or anything, sorry. just, the haircut and your new confidence and you feeling like yourself just made me like you even more and i-" ned cuts himself off and puts his head in his head, groaning. peter's eyes widen and he shakes his head, "i-i like you too, ned. i have for a while." ned perks up and lifts his head up. they stare at each other for a moment before peter reaches over to push a piece of hair out of ned's eyes. they both blush again and peter reaches for ned's hand, "ned... can i kiss you?" ned nods quickly and whispers, "yes." they both lean in and, gently and quickly, their lips meet. they pull away and are still holding hands.

"it's about damn time!" they hear a voice behind them and they jump away. m.j. is standing there with her arms crossed, a smirk on her lips, "come on, lovebirds, let's go do this carnival."
