Irondad and Spiderson // One Shots

Be Like A Twig, Thin

~unedited and probably badly written~

This is dedicated to a girl at my high school.

She was battling anorexia, bulimia, and depression, on top of all that she was self-harming, suicidal, and being bullied.

So if any of that triggers you, please do not read.

Peter is not Spidey in this.

Peter, Ned, and MJ sat in the auditorium as Tony Stark was at their school to make a special announcement.

"Alright, children, I'm here to tell you that I have been watching you all perform in classes and your grades."

"Out of all that, I have chosen who I thought best to be my personal intern."

A gasp went around the room.

"And I have chosen," he paused for dramatic affect because he's Tony Stark, "Peter Parker."

And that is how our story began.

It has been about four months since Tony had been having Peter over everyday after school and some on the weekends.

It has been a month since he started staying on the weekend and sometimes on a weekday.

Tony has always noticed how skinny the kid was right from the start. When he asked all he got was "metabolism" and the kid said nothing else of it.

And neither did Tony.

So they continued working and having fun.

Little did Tony know, their fun could end very, very soon.

Peter came in the lab, basically skipping to his seat.

"How was your day?" Tony asked. Tony asked this everyday, mainly because he loved to hear the kids rambling.

But he wouldn't admit it, not out loud at least.

So Peter then went on to talk about his day, leaving out certain parts that involve Flash or something Tony didn't know. (Hint, hint)

When Peter's rambling came to an end Tony decided it was time for dinner.

"Alright kid, time for dinner," Tony saw Peter tense for a split second, "what do you want?"

"Um, p-pizza?" Peter always did this when Tony asked what he wanted to eat. He would stutter and say a random food choice.

But Tony never asked about it.

So, Tony ordered the pizza and took Peter up to the penthouse.

When they got the pizza Peter took one slice and sat on the couch, Tony sitting beside him.

Tony then turned on Tangled, and they began to eat.

Well, Tony did.

By the time the 'mother knows best' song came on Tony noticed Peter's pizza slice untouched.

"Pete, you need to eat."

Peter looked up at him as if he just asked him to kick a puppy.

"O-oh y-yeah. Right." Peter mumbled, taking a small bite of pizza.

Tony turned back to the TV, not seeing Peter gag as he chewed the food.

By the time the movie was over, Peter and Tony had finished their meal.
