I'll be your family now

(Not) Feeling good X

Peter woke up to a not so nice feeling. He knew that feeling too well, his face burned, he was sweating and felt like someone dropped a truck in him. Yeah, not nice, definitely.

He cursed himself, yesterday had been a really good day, with Tony adopting him and all. But he knew this would happen, it always happened when he was overexcited, and that was yesterday's case, adding a sensory overload the same day didn't help much, neither.

He recalled yesterday's events.

After Peter let go of Tony and signed the papers they went to celebrate, to an ice cream shop Peter has known since he was little and had his all time favorite ice cream.

"I'm trusting you in this, kid" Tony said, while he turned right, as Peter told him "If I end up at a night club or some teenager thing I'll ground you. I'm warning you, Peter"

"Don't worry, where we're heading it's for all ages, from 2 to 16 to 80, or whatever's your age" he joked.

He was bouncing in his sit, he couldn't contain his excitement. His eyes were bright and an omnipresent smile in his face.

Tony wasn't that far of start bouncing himself. The kid was finally, officially, his kid. Peter was Peter Stark. Was his son and he was his dad.

However for, his sake, he decided that bouncing while driving wasn't the best idea he has had, and that it would break his impecable façade, years of hiding his emotions kicking in.

"I'm offended. I'm not that old"

Peter was about to come up with a smart reply when he saw the shop they were going to.

"Right there! There! That one, Tony" he exclaimed excited, pointing at a big ice cream cone sign.

"Okay, I'm going, hold on a little more" Tony parked in front of the shop and took a look at it "Now I understand your excitement, you're only ever that excited when it involves food"

"What? I have a super metabolism" the kid shot his hands up in mock defense and Tony smirked.

It was a small ice cream shop which was open 24/7, reason why it was open at 10.45 pm. Inside weren't lot of people, only a couple teens which seemed not sober at all and two bored workers.

Of course, the workers eyes went wide when they recognized him, the teens, however, didn't pay much attention to their arrival.

One of the workers has attended them kindly and got them their ice cream.

As they were eating it Peter didn't seem able to tear his eyes apart from Tony, who was devouring his chocolate ice cream.

Peter was so excited and astonished at the same time. He was so glad that Tony was his dad and he was his son.

Aunt May and Uncle Ben never adopted him, they only had his guardianship, but that was it, the mere idea of adopting him was never mentioned to Peter, and Peter had never thought much of it. But now that Tony had, he thought about it, and how loved and wanted made him feel that someone did want him, for real, for forever. It was a nice feeling, and he was glad it was Tony adopting him, maybe his life wasn't as messed up as he thought.

"I know I'm handsome, but what exactly are you looking at? Staring is rude, Pete"

"Sorry" Peter looked down for a moment, waiting for his skin to turn normal again "I'm only thinking"

"Yeah, I realized that, genius" Tony joked "What about? If I can ask"

Peter shrugged "I'm excited, is just that. I really like the idea of you being my dad" his face started to burn at the confession, it was no secret, of course, they both knew it, but saying it out loud...
