I'll be your family now

The next day Peter woke up late in morning, what could he say? He was a teenager sick of waking up for school, so if he had the chance to sleep he would take it.

"How'd you sleep, Sleeping Beauty?" Tony teased as Peter came out of the room in a new set of clothes, he had some in the tower from when he slept there.

"Good" he said, too out of it to care about the nickname. Also this was like a common thing when he slept there so he didn't care.

"Eat. I bet you're starving" Tony put a plate of some pre-made cake and an orange juice glass in front of him.

"Thanks. Did Aunt May reply your message? She didn't text me anything."

"Yeah, she only said it was okay" Tony shrugged, only partially concerned about the kid's aunt indifference. She wasn't like that.

"Mhmm"

Peter didn't want to think about it, he didn't want to think about his aunt not caring if he went missing. He knew he left things not so well, but he wanted to think that his aunt would care if he didn't come back for the night. He would have.

Me. Stark sighed, he didn't want Peter to have problems with his Aunt, even though they would probably go away in a matter of hours.

It was mostly for the part of seeing the kid upset, he didn't know May well enough for that thought to be for her. He also knew better than anyone how hard parents/guardians problems were, and how upset they left you, so he wanted to prevent the kid from it.

"Look, Pete" he began "I know you don't want to go back to your home- and no, before you say anything you're not a bother here, it's not about that. But you have to go and make up with May, we both now she really cares for you, and this can't go on forever"

"I know Mr. Stark" Peter said eating away all his food "But I just don't know what I'll do when I get there. What I'm supposed to say apart from sorry? Is she still mad? I don't even know!"

"I'm not the best in this. But if I have learned something is that sometimes a 'sorry' it's the only thing needed"

"Look at you, all wise, Tony" he teased, don't liking the tension this conversation was bringing into his body.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm the best" the billionaire waved a hand in dismiss, knowing exactly what Peter was doing "But seriously"

"I know. I'll try my best, promise"

"Good, now why don't you gather together your things and I'll have Happy drive you home"

Peter nodded and once he got his needed things and was waiting for Happy Tony talked.

"Why don't you try to get to like that guy whose name I don't remember?" Tony asked "Maybe you'll be surprised"

Peter knew he couldn't really put up a fight, partly because Tony was just too stubborn and partly because Peter appreciated the billionaire too much to really fight with him.

"Okay, I'll try"

"But, you know, if you really don't feel comfortable around him you're always welcome here, just web yourself if Happy isn't supposed to pick you up that day or message" Mr. Stark gave a half smile.

"Thanks, Tony. See you later" and with that Peter was off to find Happy.
