Why Can't You Just Be... A Normal Kid?! (Peter Parker/Spiderman X Reader)

Sunset Cliff

We safely land on a nearby cliff where we could visibly see the already setting sun.

Peter got off my back and sat on the grass verge. I open my suit, get out and sit down next to Peter.

We both stare into the colour-changing horizon in silence for around five minutes. The silence was broken, however, when Peter spoke.

"So..." He starts. "You're a Stark?"

"Yep!" I say.

"Still unbelievable! Quick question-"

"Let me guess. The suits? Or... Why a Stark is going to a simple school instead of being homeschooled or showered with the most expensive schooling money can buy?"

"Both."

"When I was younger, since I was homeschooled, I was always hanging around my Dad and I got attached to him, the workshop and the suits. I always used to steal parts of the suits and put it on a shelf in my room to see how long it took Dad to realise it was missing and get it back." I let out a chuckle, remembering the old days. "So when he thought I was old enough, he made me my own suit and gave it to me on my birthday, and I've loved and cherished it since day one. On to the subject of schooling, this is actually my first time going to a school. Dad wants me to start to have some normalcy in my life so he sent me to a public school instead of a private one or have him keep homeschooling me."

"What have you been taught whilst being homeschooled?" Peter asks, taking everything in.

"Engineering mainly. A little bit of Art and the History of machinery and a bit about business so when I'm older I can run the family's company. That's it."

"Oh. Okay." He smiles and turns back to the sunset.

The sun draws closer and closer to the water ready to disappear and call it another day.

We both enjoy the company of each other as the day turned into night. The relaxation ends, though, when my phone starts ringing. I look to see who the caller is and see the word 'DAD' across the top of my screen and a picture behind of me and Dad at a Stark Expo at the beginning of the year.

"What's up Dad?" I ask through the phone.

"How long are you two gonna be? I'm getting hungry." He replies slightly annoyed.

"We're just about to start heading back. Start ordering the food now and we'll be there when it arrives."

"What do you two want?"

I cover the bottom of the phone with my hand and turn to Peter. "What take out do you want?" I ask him.

"Chinese please." He replies in a loud whisper.

I uncover my phone. "Can we get Chinese please, Dad?" I reply to my father's question.

"Yeah sure. Start getting your arses back down here then. See you soon Tiger."

"See ya Dad!" I put down the phone.

I move towards my suit and step in. It closes around me and the screen starts up.

"You coming, Spidey?" I ask.

Peter nods and jumps onto my back.
