Runaway | Peter Parker angsty fic

The Right Name- Chapter 9

It had been a few months since he started talking to Mrs. NP. He didn't feel like he was getting very far as he didn't remember half of their sessions which they had every Wednesday and Friday. Especially the Friday ones, where they would talk about his week. Only recently did his aunt's death truly hit him, before he tried to

Peter was trying not to think about it. Summer vacation was starting up so, if Tony allowed him, he could go spidermaning a lot more. It's weird, he doesn't really remember what happens when he's the web slinger but he does know he does it. Whenever he goes out as Spiderman but doesn't remember, he notices two or sometimes even three of his cigarettes go missing. Peter tried not to ask many questions despite his curious nature, something in him told him not to.

Peter woke up at 2pm. Not uncommon for the boy, especially on weekends like today. Today was also the first day of June, like the person people thinks he should know. He hates that he doesn't know June because every time he says he doesn't know who June is he feels like he's lying. He thought that now that spiderman's out of the bag, there'd be nothing to lie about. But of course there's more to lie about. There's always more he has to lie about. And he hates lying.

Peter walked to the kitchen where he tried to find something to eat. He wasn't really hungry despite his powers. When he turned to leave, Miss. Romanoff walked in.

"Fancy seeing you here" She joked. "How have you been, Peter?"

"'M fine" Peter mumbled, too tired from just waking up.

"Peter" Miss. Romanoff soften her face "are you okay?"

"Jus' tired" He mumbled again. He knew she knew that the "I'm fine" bit was a lie.

Natasha walked into Tony's lab where the genius was ingrossed in his work as usual. ACDC was blasting out of the speakers, sparks from metal was flying in the air, loud bangs could be heard. Truly, a wonderful sight. Natasha walked up to the busy man after he put down the hot metal and tapped him on the shoulder. Tony commanded the ai to turn down the music.

"Tones, I think something's wrong with Peter"

Peter opens a window in his bedroom. He pulls out his box of cigarettes, pops one in his mouth and lights it. After a long drag, he let's out the smoke. He knows well enough that it's bad for him but he doesn't care. It takes away some of the stress and Lord knows he needs to do that in any way he can.

After a few minutes and drags, he hears a knock at his door. Weird, he didn't think he had anything happening today. Peter puts out the cigarette on the bottom of nightstand, sprays himself with perfume, and opens the door. The person now standing in front of him being Mr. Stark.

"Oh, hi Mr. Stark" Peter greets "I didn't think I had to do anything today."

"Don't worry Peter, I just wanna talk" Mr. Stark said which almost sent Peter into a spiral. Did... Did Mr. Stark find out about him smoking again? Or him not really getting better from therapy? Or anything he subconsciously lied about? Is he going to get kicked out? Oh no, that wierd fuzzy feeling. Not now!

Peter forces himself out of his panic by taking a deep breath. "Okay Mr. Stark"

Tony enters the room and sits on Peter's bed with the boy soon following. Tony sits for a minute, thinking about what to say and how to say it. He wasn't very good with emotions but he had to try for Peter.

"How are you holding up, Peter?" Tony asked, trying to not make Peter uncomfortable with a serious tone.

"I'm fine Mr. Stark" Peter said with the best smile he could muster through the wierd feeling.

"Peter, you know you can talk to me, right?" Mr. Stark said and put a hand on Peter's shoulder. He wasn't a very physical person so Peter knew it meant a lot. Or, was he Peter?

June took a minute to realize where they were. They heard a voice next to them and then a hand on their shoulder. Like that room. With that man. Fuck, they had to get out of there.

Tony realized something was off after he put his hand on Peter's shoulder. He quickly took it off. "Sorry" He mumbled, rubbing his neck.

June snapped out of their panick and looked at Tony Stark. They were expecting to have to book it but he did do that. He isn't like that man.

"No, no, it's okay" June said. "I just didn't realize it was you for a second."

Tony was confused. Peter had let him in and he talked to him. He was also talking wierd, a but more feminine. Like he did a few weeks ago. And when the night when he found out Peter was spiderman. Is he June right now? Like that night?

"Um" Tony started. "June?"

June looked at him, shocked and excited. They don't get called the right name often, normally Peter or Spiderman. They hated being confused for someone else but sometimes it's easier to pretend to be either of those two then to try and fight for their own name. June smiled wide at Tony Stark.

"I take it I'm correct" Tony said with a smirk on his face.

"Sorry, I'm not used to people calling me the name I wanna be called." June said and looked away shyly.

"Don't be sorry" Tony spoke. "If you ever want to be called June with whatever's going on, just tell me alright?"

"Alright"
