Ice Cream Tastes Better Than Caviar

*so this is pretty long and I didn't know whether or not to make it two parts or not(I obviously didn't). If you're reading this then you can tell me what you think.

There was only an hour left until the giant party, or should I say gala, Tony was hosting. It was the first party that Peter would be attending, seeing as it was more of a Stark Industries party than an Avengers thing, though they would be attending. The Wakandan royal family would also be in attendance. Simply put, it was a huge deal, and Peter couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Tony had sent someone to drop off the tux he was supposed to wear not long ago and Peter was staring at the ensemble. It was simple, just like Tony knew Peter would want. Peter had never worn a tux before so this was definitely a new experience. He slid into the tux, staring at himself in the mirror before ultimately deciding that he looked fine. He walked over to the elevator before hitting the highest floor and scanning his fingerprint. The elevator door opened, revealing the Avengers floor. Most of the Avengers were there, waiting for the transport to the party. Wanda smiled at Peter as he entered. "Looking good!" Tony appeared from somewhere else in the room. He straightened Peter's bowtie. "The tux isn't so bad, is it?"

"No, it really isn't." Peter smiled.

"Are you excited for the party?" Tony asked him.

"Yeah." Peter smiled, trying to cover up his nervousness.

"And meeting the Wakandan king and princess?"

"Definitely." Peter smiled again, this time, a little more honesty behind his eyes. He was very excited to meet the royal family.

    They waited a little longer, everyone appearing from their rooms, and then they all piled into separate cars to ride downtown. The ride was longer than expected, allowing even more time for Peter to freak out over this event. His leg bounced up and down and Tony just assumed it was the boy's way of controlling his energy. He didn't, however, notice the look of anxiety pass across Peter as he checked his watch repeatedly. He didn't notice the kid text his Aunt May, asking her if she had picked up his anxiety meds from the pharmacy. As far as Tony knew, the kid had perfect mental health. And he also didn't notice the fear in Peter's face. As they arrived in front of the building, Peter's worrying increased immediately. A quick check out the window revealed a shit ton of flashing cameras and press. Not only was he likely to be caught on camera, but flashing objects have never been a good idea for someone with heightened senses. The night was already off to a rough start. This was not good. And yet, Tony didn't notice.

    Peter managed to make it through the cameras without much attention, unlike most of the other Avengers. He waited for at least one of them enter the building, preferably Natasha, Pepper, or Tony. They were the ones he was the most comfortable with. Thankfully, it was only a few minutes before they made it inside. All together, they stepped into the huge ballroom that Tony had rented for the event. Tony introduced him to a few people before Peter slinked off toward the side of the room, doing his best to hide from all of these people who he didn't know. He sat at a table and began to text Ned. A few minutes later, a waiter came by, offering him an *insert fancy party food of your choice*. He politely declined before returning to his phone.

Ned: So hows the party

Peter: Honest or not?

Ned: Honest

Peter: I wanna go home. I don't know like anyone here and I didn't take my meds this morning

Ned: Why tf didn't you take your meds???

Peter: Would you believe me if I told you I forget?

Ned: I might've but you ruined any chance
