"Parker," Tony doesn't look up from the paper he's writing on. "Do you want the blue or the red toothbrushes?" He's currently restocking on items for the compound, Peter's room included. He's insistent on paying for it all in one big purchase, so there's no opacity when it comes to living with the Avengers.

Peter hums. "Can you get the one with the science doodles on it?"

Tony nods, scribbling something down before spitting out another question. "Do you want the yogurt with the fruity designs or the one with the boring white label?"

"The fruity designs one tastes better."

"Got it."

With a few exchanged words, Peter is walking towards the elevator to go back to his apartment with May, where he'll meet you for some other activities.

As a few hours pass, Peter is walking into the large kitchen of the compound. Tony and Steve are in the middle of a sea of grocery bags. Bucky, Natasha, and Sam are emptying the bags and handing the items to both Stark and Rogers. Wanda is seated on a kitchen stool, sipping some tea while engrossed in conversation with Vision.

"Hey," Peter smiles at them, announcing his arrival.

"Where were you?" Wanda inquires curiously.

"With a friend."

"Would a friend do that to your neck?"

Movements stop as eyes turn to Peter's direction. His eyes go wide, and his hand slaps over his skin. But not fast enough, because Tony is gasping while Steve shakes his head disappointedly. Bucky is gagging from his stance, and Natasha rolls her eyes.

"You're seeing someone?"

Peter blushes at Nat's question, and he can feel himself burning up. He's internally smacking himself for letting the evidence show that you two are together.

"Uhm... yeah. I have a girlfriend."

Tony's jaw is on the floor, feet moving faster than his brain. They're gathering a little closer to Peter and away from the bags of groceries.

Peter wants to shy away from all of their gazes. He wants to crawl into your arms so nobody can see his blush but you. But, alas, he knows this moment is inevitable, and he faces it head on while it still hits him.

"You have a girlfriend?"

"Where'd you meet her?"

"Why haven't we met her? When can we?"

"Uhm..." Peter scratches the back of his neck, collecting all of their words as best he can. "She's- she's in my physics lecture." He smiles, blush spreading, brightening.

"How long have you been together?" Tony's gentle, staying as calm as he can manage.

"Almost four months."

"And you're... fidaddling with each other already?"

"Sam!" Natasha smacks his arm.

"He has like four hickeys on his neck!"

"He's a teenager!"

"In college," Bucky butts in, eyeing Peter and then Natasha. "They're hormonal sex demons."

"Oh god," Steve rubs his forehead and his eyes. Tony scoffs, bewildered.

"He's too... innocent to get to second base."

"I don't know..." Bucky purses his lips. "Those hickeys look pretty dark."

"Jesus Christ."

"Language, please."

"All I wanna know is when and how he started getting some."

"You need to go out more if you want to get on his level." Bucky smirks as Sam reacts the way he'd hoped he would: mouth dropping in a scoff with an eye roll.

"I think the real question here, though," Wanda nudges her way to the front, where she can talk to Peter head on. "Is when can we meet her?"

"You- uh... you guys want to meet her?"

"Of course we do, Peter!" Nat smiles softly. "You're an Avenger. Anyone you take in, we take in."

"We protect everyone we love. Girlfriends included." Sam agrees. Peter smiles at the inclusiveness of the superheroes. He nibbles on his bottom lip before breaking out in a smile, nodding.

"Okay, yeah. I'll... I'll ask her."

Sam and Bucky take that as their cue to go back to their tasks, and they indulge themselves in a conversation about who your favourite Avenger might be. Peter refrains himself from rolling his eyes, still touched at the encounter.

"You could at least try to hide the hickeys."

"Tony!"
