Trapped {A Trans Peter Parker Story} [COMPLETE]

10

After sitting out for 30 minutes Peter headed to bed because he was feeling a bit dysphoric without his Binder on. Steve watched him go and after a few minutes also headed to bed.

Knocking on the red and blue door Steve sighed. He knew something was wrong with the boy and he knew he would have to ask outright for answers.

"Hey Peter, it's Steve can I come in?" His voice was soft and caring almost like a dad would be. After he asked he heard the door click and shuffling. Then the door opened. And well Steve was not prepared for what Peter looked like.

His face red and wet. His eyes still had tears dropping out off them and he had on at least 5 layers of clothes. Steve took in all this and hugged the small boy.

"What's wrong? And don't say nothing cause there obviously is," Steve spoke with a stern voice but it still heard the caring tone from before.

Peter shook his head and just kept hugging Steve. He started crying again because why couldn't he be normal? Be born in a boys body? Why did he get bit by a spider?

"Peter. Come on tell me something. I'm going crazy worrying about you," Steve chuckled trying to lighten the boy's mood.

"Steve, shut the door please," Peters' voice broke the silence and Steve did what he asked. "It's just been a bad day that's all." He smiled and moved to the bed and left space for Steve to sit down.

"Yeah, I gathered that when you were in Bruce's lab being fixed up. Do you wanna tell me why you got beat up?" Steve looked at the boy, curiously but also scared. Was Steve ready to hear why his new favourite kid got beat up?

"Well. Flash found something out and at first, I tried to ignore it but.... but then he said something about Ned and I couldn't stop myself so I punched him. I stopped after one but he kept hitting and kicking me on my chest cause he knows it hurts there and then MJ got him off and started hitting him over and over and ov-" the boy broke into a sob. Telling Steve the story brought back memories from earlier and he didn't like them. The name calling. The hitting. The bullying. Constantly. Every single day for 2 years.

Steve hugged him as he sobbed. Broken, Steve picked Peter up and brought him into a hug that wouldn't hurt him.

"Why did he bully you?" Peter dreaded this question.

"He- He found something out..." this confused Steve. What is so bad that it caused this much damage to an innocent boy.

"What did he find out that was so bad?" Peter stopped for a second and thought of a way to get out of this. But Steve knew something was up and he could not lie to save himself.

"Ummm well. He, like, maybe found out I was ummm Trans?" His statement was more of a question as he looked to Steve for reassurance. Steve smiled and looked at the boy.

"Okay, so what does that mean. Remember I'm like 100 years old" Steve knew what it meant. He knew what every damn letter of the LGBTQIA+ community meant. He researched for months before telling Bucky he liked him. But he wanted to know from Peter himself.

"Well, I was, like, born in a 'Female' body but I'm a Male in my brain so I try and change my body to reflect my insides," his voice was starting to become more stable as he talked, he loved telling people about his community as it showed him he was loved somewhere in the world.

"That's awesome. So that's why you are never topless too? I always thought it was something else like edgy. But hey it's still cool and trendy that you know who you are," Steve tried to sound 'cool' but it didn't work and Peter ended up laughing at him.

"Come on I'm like 100 and I spent like 70 years under ice," he complained while the younger boy laughed. "Does anyone else know? Well except Tasha."

Peter nodded his head. "Wanda and Bruce know. Also May, Ned and MJ too," he smiled at the thought of them and realised they were still in the living room with May and the Avengers.

"Okay, so I won't tell anyone. But if you ever need anything my door is always open, and if I'm not there Wanda and Nat are too," Steve smiled at the boy. Happy to help him and to also be trusted with the truth.

"Thank you, Steve. I want to tell people but they will think differently of me. And I don't want that," Peter frowned at the thought of being kicked out the Tower because the rest didn't like him.

Steve also frowned. The kid really thought that? Really? "Hey, Kid you do know that we all love you and would never think differently of you. Especially Tony. He looks up too you and wants you to do better than he did when he was a kid. Nothing you do can change that," Steve smiled and hugged the boy gently, careful about his broken ribs.

"I'll let you go since you could do with a sleep but whenever you want I'm always here to talk to Kid. Even if you are embarrassed" With that Steve stood up and left the boys room with a smile on his face. Peter was also smiling. He had told another person and he didn't get shouted at.

Peter feel asleep that night with a massive smile on his face
