"Boss, Peter is in his room" Friday announces to Tony who is in his lab.
"Thanks Fri, you think I should go up?" Tony asks.
"It seems like he's making his way down here" Friday informs.
Tony stops what he's doing for a moment, a bit startled that Peter is coming down instead but quickly gets back to work to not make Peter suspicious.
Not even a few seconds passes by when the elevator dings and Peter exits out.
"Oh hey kid, what have you been up to?" Tony wonders.
"Not much. What are you working on?" Peter asks.
"Fixing Nats widow bites. She said they were malfunctioning. Can you believe that? My tech malfunctioning?" Tony questions making Peter crack a small smile. "Anyways, you hungry? I haven't ate lunch yet and you know, it's a bit past lunch time...Pep is going to kill me."
"Sure, I guess" Peter nods.
"Great, you wanna head upstairs or stay down here. I still got food in the cabinets" Tony suggests.
"Can we stay down here?" Peter wonders.
"Course kiddo" Tony nods before heading over to the cabinets. He gets a few chip bags and granola bars out before tossing a few to Peter.
God, Tony hopes he eats the granola bars for his metabolism and not just the chips. He knows he skipped out on breakfast.
"Sit on the couch. We can watch a movie if you want" Tony invites.
"Star Wars?" Peter suggests.
"How can I say no?" Tony smiles.
"Fri, please put on Empire Strikes Back" Peter instructs only for Friday to do so.
Tony sits down next to Peter with his own bags of chips and a blanket in hand. He throws the blanket on Peter before ruffling his hair.
"Heyyy" Peter whines.
"Shush, you're missing the movie" Tony jokes.
Peter jokingly rolls his eyes before starting to eat a granola bar. They're only about twenty minutes into the movie when Peter suspiciously turns his head to Tony.
"How come you aren't asking me where I've been and why I didn't tell anyone?" Peter questions.
Tony looks away from the movie to Peter. He knew Peter would probably ask questions but he kinda got lost in his own worrying thoughts, he forgot.
"I wanted to give you space" Tony tells him.
"You aren't concerned?" Peter asks.
"I am but you would tell me if something's up, right?" Tony wonders.
Peter stays silent before nodding his head. From his conversation with the avengers, they all know he's hiding something but if he won't tell Tony, maybe he'll tell someone else. It hurts Tony that Peter might not trust him with this but he'll still be there for the kid.
"I'm sorry about yesterday and today" Peter apologizes.
"You were being brave, that's what you were doing" Tony claims.
"I'm being reckless" Peter sighs.
"How?" Tony questions.
"I don't know but I feel like I am" Peter shrugs.
"I don't think you are" Tony assures.
"You're reckless, that doesn't help" Peter smirks.
"Monster" Tony gasps. "But true. Guess I'm not the right man to be questioning who's reckless or who's not but I do know I'm more reckless than you are."
