The door bell buzzed, sounding throughout the house, alerting you instantly. You spared a glance towards the clock that hung on the kitchen wall. Your brows furrowed, realising that it couldn't be Peter because he wouldn't get out of school for at least another 20 minutes.

You shrugged your shoulders, placing the knife onto the chopping board, before heading to answer the door. It could have been Carrie, the old woman who lived next door. She had a habit of forgetting where she had left her keys, meaning she needed you to use your spare one to let her in. That was always a common occurrence.

The door bell obnoxiously rang again, "I'm coming. Jesus, calm yourself." You shouted as the person played an annoying tune with the bell. You unlocked the door, yanking it open, ready to give the person on the other side an earful.

"Are you kid-Oh my god!" You gasped. "You're Tony Stark?" You almost yelled, gobsmacked. Surely you were seeing things.

"I'd hope so, otherwise my entire life has been a lie." He joked, casually taking his sunglasses off and placing them into his jacket pocket. "Can I come in?" He asked.

"Of course!" You pulled the door wide open enthusiastically, stepping to the side to let him enter. He smiled, brushing against you as he stepped into the apartment.

"How..." he pondered over his words for a moment as he took in your apartment. "Quaint." He commented, taking a seat on your sofa.

"Sorry, it's a bit of a mess, I haven't gotten round to cleaning up yet. I'm sure you have loads of people to do that for you. I wasn't expecting any visitors today, especially not you." You rambled nervously. "Speaking of which, why are you here?" You questioned, unsure as to why the Tony Stark was standing in your living room.

"Uh, your Nephew, Peter, won a, uh, scholarship to work with me." He answered, almost slightly unsure of the words that were coming out of his mouth.

"Seriously? That's amazing! He didn't even tell me he had applied for one!" You cheered happily, although slightly confused that Peter hadn't told you about it. He was usually very honest with you.

"Maybe he was just embarrassed." He spoke. "So you're his Aunt?" He asked curiously eyeing you up. You felt extremely self-conscious under his stare, you were nothing compared to the supermodels he encountered on a daily basis.

"Uh-yeah!" You answered, nervously tucking a few strands of your hair behind your ear.

"Well, you're a lot younger than I expected you to be." He commented. "And hotter." He added.

"Stop." You nervously snorted. You cringed as the unattractive noise came from you. You awkwardly laughed at his comment, trying to brush it off, although all you wanted to do was melt to the ground like a puddle.

"I'm serious, I was not expecting you to look like this, although, I am not complaining." He flirted, leaving you a blushing mess.

"Well," you changed the subject to save yourself from anymore humiliation, "Peter should be back from school soon, can I get you anything while you wait?" You asked.

"Water would be great, actually." He smiled.

You ran off to the kitchen, receiving your best glass and filling it up with ice cold water. You rushed back to the living room, handing Tony the glass. He thanked you, taking a sip.

"So, you couldn't get some sort of servant to come inform Peter?" You asked, leaning against the couch. "I'm sure you have many people like that." You nervously twiddled your thumbs, waiting for his response.

"What?" He questioned, confused.

"A-about the scholarship?" You stuttered nervously. You were trying your hardest not to embarrass yourself in front of this man, but clearly things weren't working in your favour.

"Oh-right! No, he was the only winner out of thousands of applicants, it was only best to inform him myself." He answered, avoiding eye contact with you. You nodded understandingly.

You opened your mouth to speak again, but the sound of the front door opening cut you off. "That will be him now!" You smiled. You couldn't wait to see the look on his face.

"Uh, Aunt (Y/N), what the hell is Tony Stark doing in our apartment?" Peter asked in complete awe as he entered the room. He dropped his school bag to the floor, his eyes flicking between the two of you, waiting for an answer.

"You won the Stark scholarship, kid." Tony informed him. Peter looked confused for a moment, but after glancing towards Tony, realisation washed across his face.

"I hope you don't mind, Miss Parker, if me and Peter have a little private talk?" Tony asked, motioning for Peter to follow after him.

"Of course, don't mind me! I'll just be waiting right here." You plopped down on the couch as Peter led Tony to his room.

There was silence for a few minutes. Then there was some crashing sounds that peaked your curiosity, but you knew better than to eavesdrop, then more silence before they bother entered the room once again.

"Good talk, kid." Tony clapped his shoulder tightly. "I'll be in touch." Peter grinned, still slightly star struck.

"It was nice meeting you, (Y/N)." Tony smiled, "I'll be in touch with you also." He winked, before heading for the door.

"Bye, it was nice to meet you!" You called after him. Once he had left, you leaned against the door frame, staring into the distance with a dreamy smile on your face.

"You've got to be kidding me?" You snapped from your daydream, turning around to find Peter staring at you with a slightly disgusted look on his face.

"What?" You questioned innocently, although you knew what he was thinking. He chuckled silently to himself before heading towards his room.

"Hey, Parker, don't laugh at me. I hear the way you talk about that Liz girl from your school to Ned!" You called after him embarrassingly, before quickly returning to your thoughts of Tony. Thoughts that would cloud your mind for weeks.
