Baby boy

Free

Peter was officially free from the restrictions of school. Those three weeks were filled with people questioning his interaction with Wade, which he had no problem with avoiding, and him planning what to do after graduation rolled out. 

His graduation was rather tedious than 'out of this world'. He had Aunt May attend and that was all. She seemed more excited than he did. He was more excited to get out of those stuffy clothes and into his suit so he could get to work. He has been incredibly irritable as of late.

Ever since his formal discussion with Captain A and Mr Stark, it magically seemed like his interactions with Wade grew more and more scarce. In fact, the last time he saw him was on that roof after he was confronted by the two paranoid men. So either they got rid of him, threatened him or... Wade suddenly lost interest.

As much as he didn't want to think that Wade got bored of him, it was not impossible. Of course when he considered that option at first, he thought it was far from the truth. Wade seemed more than persistent to drop his progress, but the longer time went by without seeing him, the more Peter started to doubt himself.

Maybe he was tired of all the trouble with Tony and Steve, that he may not want to continue this 'relationship' when he could barely touch the boy without getting outed. It made sense why he wouldn't want to have have anything to do with Peter... He probably had enough trouble on his hands, being the arrogant creep he was, why waste effort on a teenage boy?

"You look damn near jumping off a bridge", Ned commented which cut Peter from his depressive train of thoughts. 

"Do I?"

 "Yeah, you look deep in thought, everything alright?"

"Yeah it's fine, just a lot of stress on the future you know?" More like his future with Wade.

"Totally, it's so weird to think about", he chuckled and nodded in agreement to Peter's words, the two having a brief discussion about what to do from now on. "You gonna go live with the the Avengers team?"

"I've been given the offer but, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to accept. As cool as it is, they're very smothering even without me living there, but I'll consider it of course", Peter shrugged. That was the truth, he wasn't sure he could handle living closer to Steve and Tony, knowing that if he lived with them, they'd be on his case 24/7. It's not like they didn't do that already.

The two chatted a bit more before they were called to take pictures, which allowed Peter's thoughts to be consumed by not only Wade, but the offer made by the Avengers.

"You're gonna be working a lot more than you were aren't you?" Aunt May asked when they arrived home after the graduation, Peter pulling off his tie and sighing out. "It looks that way, yeah..."

"I can only wish you luck, I'm so proud of you Pete", she cupped his cheeks as she stared up fondly into his eyes, leaning closer to plant a motherly kiss onto his forehead. "Why don't we make celebratory pizza tonight?" Peter offered, wanting to spend some much needed time with his Aunt.

"You sure you don't have to go to work? I'd hate to be holding you back-"

"I insist, I'm sure it's fine for me to just have one evening off with the best Aunt in the world?" Peter grinned and watched her blush bashfully, waving him off. "You're so sweet, then let's definitely celebrate and make some unhealthy food!"

Peter shot her a thumbs up and went his room to change out of his suit, somewhat disappointed when he went in and saw the room empty. He didn't know why but he was secretly hoping that Wade would be here to annoyingly congratulate him on his graduation.
