Spiderman Oneshots

fallen asleep (2/2)

So, here we go! The second part for this one! Enjoy

"Peter?" even as he was still half asleep, he could feel someone carefully shaking his shoulder. "Come on, kid, we're here! I'm sorry, but you have to wake up" Peter slowly opened his eyes, that were still heavy with sleep. He was looking directly at the face of Tony Stark.

He rubbed his eyes in confusion, not awake enough to understand, what was going on, while he slowly sat up. He looked around. Apparently, he was sitting in a really fancy plane.

Then he suddenly remembered. It wasn't just any plane, it was Tony Stark's plane. They were in Wakanda! For a whole two weeks! He was immediately wide awake. Tony chuckled at the excited face he was making. "Well, come on then, we can't let T'Challa and Shuri wait now, can we?"

Peter was extremely nervous. He would be meeting a princess and a king in a few seconds, after all. Sure, he had already met T'Challa before, but that had been during a fight, so that didn't really count. They had been too focused on surviving, to even think about talking to each other.

He jumped to his feet, but had a bit too much momentum, bumped against Tony and they would have tumbled to the floor together, if Tony hadn't been able to hold on to the seat of the seat next to him. He laughed. Your mood today is really staggeringly good, isn't it?" (badum-tsssk... yeah, the joke works way better in german, this was the best I could do)

Peter just shook his head, laughing. As much as he liked his mentor, some of his jokes were just not... well, funny.

He followed the billionaire out of the plane. As soon as they had stepped of the stairs, they felt the heat of Africa surrounding them. This was so much better than the rainy weather that they had had to endure in New York for the last few weeks! He almost couldn't believe his eyes, when they had finally adjusted to the light.

He had heard a lot about how futuristic this place was supposed to be, but the extremely modern, beautiful palace still managed to surprise him. The building was shining metallically, as it imposingly stood over them.

Only after realizing that, his eyes focused on the small group of people, that already seemed to be waiting for them. Right in front was T'Challa in a long gown, his posture proud and welcoming. Next to him stood a girl, her hair artfully braided. Peter guessed she must be princess Shuri.

Peter wasn't sure, how he was supposed to act, they were a king and a princess after all. Did he have to bow? He decided, to wait and see, how Tony would react for now. And he didn't seem to be bowing any time soon, instead walking towards the young king and holding his hand out to shake.

"Tony, great to see you here again. And not alone this time, as I see?" The Wakandan had a pleasant accent and a friendly voice. "Yes, it's been way too long. This is Peter. Or Spiderman, depending, who you ask. After he has understandably fallen asleep in class and gotten a of break from school, I thought, that we could both use the vacation. And well, here we are" he grinned. Peter blushed. Of course Tony had to tell the whole story and embarrass him in front of the royal family, before he even had a chance to even introduce himself!

T'Challa turned to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Peter. Tony talks a lot about you. You must be very important to him. He always sounds just like a proud dad" the black panther said, smiling, while he shook Peter's hand.

He tried to think of an answer. How the fudge do you talk to a king? Did he have to call him your majesty or something? Your highness instead of you? He tried to come up with a response without having to address the king.

"I am really grateful that I have the chance to come here! I've heard a lot about... uh... Wakanda" he stuttered and blushed. He felt the great desire to facepalm. He heard a suppressed giggle and looked up to see its origin.
