25th December 2016
Peter got up and frowned. This was his first Christmas without May. And it was tough. He told everyone to not get him anything but he knew they all did. All Peter wanted to do was curl into a ball and die, but alas that could not happen.
"Peter sir, Miss Lila, Mr Nathaniel and Mr Cooper all request yourself at the Christmas tree."
Peter groaned and got up. He couldn't disappoint Clint's kids because he asked them to be here. It was one of the things he loved. Watching kids open gifts that they wanted.
Peter had gifted them all a Spidey suit like his (but with no danger) so they could be like him. They had found out about Spiderman after they walked in on him suiting up. They were told to keep it a secret but they all loved it.
Peter slowly got up and pulled on a binder and a pair of lounge wear. He didn't bother on a top because he was used to walking around in just a binder now.
He walked out of his room and into the living room where he saw almost everyone except Pepper. As he looked into the kitchen he smiled, Pepper was carrying a tray of mugs which smelt like hot chocolate.
Lila, Cooper and Nathaniel all ran towards Peter when they saw him. He carefully picked them all up and spun them around. Lila was sitting on his shoulders and he had Cooper and Nathaniel in an arm each.
"Hey guys. Bit excited aren't you?"
All Peter received in response was giggling and cuddling.
"You want to open the presents?"
Three excited children all nodded their heads and laughed very loudly. Peter put them all on the floor carefully and walked to the tree with them.
They all said morning to him as he sat beside the three children.
"House rules say the youngest ones go first"
With that Clint and Laura started handing their kids presents. Soon paper was everywhere and squeals were heard as they got what they wanted. Most of the presents were from "Santa" while the rest from the team.
Peter went last in giving them his. He handed them three identical boxes and watched as they opened them. FRIDAY was recording it and everyone was waiting to see what it was.
Peter was very careful not to show anyone except for Laura since he needed to know sizes and if they were allowed them at all. She agreed and swore to secrecy.
As they opened the gifts all that was heard was a gasp and then three very loud and happy screams.
All anyone could make out was.
"Spiderman. Like. Peter. Thank you."
As the fuss died down everyone could see why they were all ecstatic. All three of them had identical Spiderman suits.
Peter gave them all a hug as they said thank you, as they stopped they all rushed to put them on.
As they did they were surprised to hear Peter talking in their ears.
"Hey guys. I hope you enjoy the suit because I spent a while making them for you. I will be your AI, which is a very smart computer. Like Friday. It's like my suit but the only thing you can't do is swing higher than a foot off the ground. Moms rule"
The children were talking to Peter in the suit and everyone watched. They were happy the kids enjoyed the suits.
"Okay guys, how about we give Peter his gifts?"
All three children nodded and picked up presents for Peter. One at a time he opened them and smiled.
Laura and Clint had gotten him a few books that he wanted. Bruce had gotten him a few new tools for his lab, Thor and Loki has got him a necklace that had a blue glow.
"Young one it is from Asgardian metal and a piece of a dying star." Peter smiled a thank you to the two and put it on.
Natasha had given him a new outfit that he wanted.
Wanda and Vision gave him a new binder.
Sam had bought him a new game that had just came out.
Steve and Bucky were clothes. And so was Rhodey and Happy.
After he opened all his gifts he thanked the person and smiled at them. He finally finished opening them all when he realised Tony and Pepper were both holding envelopes.
"Hey Peter. So we were looking through May's things when we found this. It had your name and then today's date." Pepper handed the envelope to Peter who looked at it and smiled.
Carefully opening it he pulled the letter out and started reading.
"Hey Peter. So I've been thinking for the year on what to get you. You have almost everything you ever wanted and never ask for anything extra. So after a few months I finally decided on one.
I talked to Tony about it, with Pepper, Natasha and Wanda. They all think this is the perfect gift.
So on the 16th January 2017 you have a doctors appointment to schedule a surgery, I hope you love it and are happy. Love May"
Peter put the letter down and looked around. Everyone was smiling and nodding at him. He didn't know what to do so he cried. He was finally getting it done. One of the surgeries he needed to be "a real man" as people put it.
"You can't be serious. Please tell me this is a joke" he said after the small cry.
Tony looked at his kid and smiled. "No Pete. You are finally going to be happier as you." He pulled his kid into a hug and they sat like that for a second. Pepper joined in after a while and the group around watched the small family.
"Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you" Peter whispered to whoever was listening. To May. To Tony. To Pepper. To everyone.
Tony looked down had his envelope and smiled to himself. He handed it to Peter who looked at the stamps.
"Holy ship" the adults all laughed at his "child-friendly" language but all watched him.
Peter ripped the letter open and read through the words quickly.
All that stuck in his head was. "Future. MIT. And Stark Industries"
Finally he read it again and it made sense.
"Dear Mr Peter Parker.
On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT Class of 2018. You were identified as one of the most talented students in your school district and with the letters of recommendation from your many sources we are happy to have you.
Along with this we have received a letter from Stark Industries showing the high skills a teenager your age has already.
We hope you choose MIT as your higher education choice and we hope to hear back from you soon to arrange time and dates.
Congratulations and welcome to the future class of 2018.
Sincerely,
Hannah Mayes."
"I'm going to MIT. I'm going to MIT!!" At this Peter stood up and smiled he grabbed To y and Pepper and pulled them into a hug.
He was actually happy for this Christmas. And adding in the top surgery. The MIT letter and also spending it with his family? Best Christmas is a while.
He may have been dreading it but he knows that May and Ben are with him always.
