~ Third Person POV

After driving for fifteen minutes, Tony and Peter arrived at the tower. Peter was in shock when he saw the building, it was massive.

Tony had F.R.I.D.A.Y take us though a 'secret entrance' (which was really just a private garrage that gives you access to a private elevator).

As they entered the elevator, Tony asked the kid's thoughts. Peter was silent, his jaw dropping as the elevator Rose to the penthouse.

Tony never had to tell F.R.I.D.A.Y which floor he was going to, the AI knew which floor Tony needed to be on.

Once they reached the penthouse, Tony showed Peter his room, which was quite empty. It just had a desk with a chair and a king sized bed with iron man covers.

The room wasn't too big, hence the king sized bed. Tony wanted his kid's room to be close to his in case of emergencies.

Tony left Peter to himself, giving him time to keep all his things. Tony then went to his room, where he found a wiped out Pepper sleeping on their bed. "She must've been really tired" Tony thought. It was only 3 PM in the afternoon.

Tony let Pepper sleep for a few more hours. He walked out of his room and into the kitchen. Tony could barely cook, but he was hungry and be thought Peter was as well, so he started to make some shawarmas for himself and the kid.

Luckily, he didn't burn anything and 10 minutes later lunch was ready. He asked F.R.I.D.A.Y to call Peter for lunch and 15 seconds later he was at the dining room. Tony asked Peter to take a seat, and he did. Tony gave Peter a plate and he devoured it. "Huh, he must've been really hungry" Tony thought.

After Peter finished his lunch, he went to his room and started thinking. He was happy and nervous at the same time. Why would Tony Stark want to adopt a 13 year old kid? Publicity stunt? Some sort of slave??!??!?! Peter's mind was going crazy thinking of similar things. Peter managed to kill 12 hours by just thinking what Tony wanted to do with him. It was 3 am and well, Peter slept.

~ Peter's POV

When I woke up, I was in an unfamiliar room. I them remembered what happened yesterday, Tony Stark had adopted me. I checked my phone, no new messages and the time was 12:30 PM. I had slept for 9 and a half hours. As I left my room and entered the living room, Tony and Pepper said "Hey Peter", to which I responded with a "Hey". Tony had made pancakes and ask me if I wanted some and I said I do. I sat down at the table and started eating my pancakes. Tony sat down next to me and started asking me a couple of questions.

"Hey kiddo, how you doing?"

"I'm doing fine" That came out muffled, I was still chewing my pancakes

"Don't talk while chewing food"

I responded with a face that looks like this :/, Pepper laughed.

Tony chuckled, and then asked me about school.

"You go to Midtown, right?"

"Yeah" I responded.

"Do you want to go to school tomorrow? Or want a bit more time to settle?"

I thought about it for a minute before I said I want to go school.

Tony nodded, and said "Happy will drop you".

~ Time skip to 5 AM the next day because I'm lazy | Tony's POV

Pepper and I were sleeping when F.R.I.D.A.Y woke me up. "Peter seems to be in distress". Pepper was still sleeping, must've had a rough day. I ran to Peter's room, where he was slightly crying and muttering something. I couldn't understand what Peter was saying because his head was into his pillow.
