careful - super family

chapter eight

Peter and Wade met in the alleyway almost every day after school. Somehow, they had gotten away with this for some time now. Their five month anniversary was just around the corner and Peter was planning something special. "Well, someone looks happy," Tony said as Peter frolicked into the room.

Peter couldn't help but smile when he thought of Wade. He looked like a complete love struck idiot, and Tony picked up on this. "What's going on, Pete?"

"Nothing. I'm just feeling good," Peter shrugged. "Well goodnight Dad, I've got lots of homework to do. And tell Pops I say goodnight too!" Peter said as he ran to his room to go plan his date.

...

Tony laid awake in bed that night, unable to sleep. "Steve? Baby, are you awake?" Steve rolled over on his side to face Tony. "Course. What's wrong?"

"Do you think Peter's been acting weird lately? I feel like he's hiding something."

"He seems normal to me. Maybe you're just reading into things too much. He's not a kid anymore, he knows how to survive out there." Tony softly ran his fingers over Steve's cheek. He spoke softly. "You know, not everyone can be as lucky as us."

"I know, baby." Steve leaned in planted a kiss on his forehead. Little did they know, their son was sneaking out his window at that very moment.

Peter carefully made his was down to their spot. His heart sank every time he laid his eyes on him. He ran up to Wade, immediately pulling him into a very passionate kiss. "I missed you," Peter mumbled in between kisses.

"I wish we could just run away." Wade said, catching Peter by surprise. "We can't just leave, Wade. Our lives are here. My dads are here. I can't leave them."

"But are you happy here? Happy hiding who you are? Peter, I know you love you're dads but they're ruining your life, can't you see that?" Peter had never thought of it that way.

"Please, baby. We'll run away and never come back."
