eighteen || "for gods sake Tony, calm down!"

And that was when the door opened to reveal my Uncle.

As me and Peter jumped apart, our faces becoming bright red out of being caught, my Uncle proceeded to snap at us angrily, "What the hell is going on here?!"

Peter opens his mouth to talk but no words come out, just a sort of squeak that I try not to laugh at. To cover this up, I stand up to face my Uncle dead on, "Listen, Uncle Tony-"

"Were you two kissing? Since when did you two kiss? I thought I told you to look out for her Parker, not to snog her behind my back-"

"Uncle Tony!" I exclaim out of utter embarrassment and annoyance of his comments, "Just leave us alone, yeah?"

"What's going on?" behind my Uncle, I see Steve and a curious Scott appear, Steve pushing to be stood next to my Uncle and Scott stood behind just to be a spectator to the event since they had obviously heard Uncle Tony screaming at us.

"I just caught these two kissing," my Uncle told Steve angrily, arms crossed. I look back at Peter who is sat on my bed timidly messing with his fingers. He really wasn't kidding when he said that sometimes he could be afraid of my Uncle, and when he was in moods like he was now, I too felt like a insignificant small person in comparison.

"Why don't you look shocked at that?" My Uncle's question aimed at Steve made me look back towards my Uncle and where I noted Steve look at my Uncle with guilty looking eyes before his eyes widen in realisation, "You knew didn't you? You knew there was something going on between them and you never told me?-"

"For gods sake Tony, calm down!" Steve sighed, rubbing his temples with his index fingers, "I only saw them yesterday and even then, you have to understand they're kids. You can't tell me you didn't expect this to happen-"

"Peter, I want you out of here and into the guest room now-"

"You can't be fucking serious?" I retort. I watch Peter get up and go to leave the room, but I grab his wrist, Peter looking at me with sad yet serious eyes telling me to let him go without the need of words, "You can't seriously be trying to split us up-"

"I can and I will-"

"You have no right to come barging in here anyway," I snap angrily, "I'm 17 and since I'm old enough and obviously mature enough to drive one of your cars, I'm pretty sure I'm also old enough to make my mind up on who I do and don't have a relationship with."

"Yet you're not old enough to live alone, the whole reason you came to New York in the first place, for me to look after you," my Uncle retorted, "If I knew you'd come here and try to kiss up every young avenger on my team-"

I scoff aloud, crossing my arms as Peter moves away from me and to stand by Steve, "I'm not kissing up every member of your team! If anything you're the one responsible for us getting close-"

"Excuse me?!-"

"You sent me to the same school as Peter just so he could protect me as if I'm a baby, you constantly want to know if Peter is with me as you ring me whilst at school and you don't expect us to get even a little bit close?-"

"OK, before we have another civil war but this time between two Starks," Scott pushes forward to split me and my Uncle since we had gotten close to one another out of built up anger, causing my Uncle and Steve give Scott a dirty look due to the reference, "Let's just get Peter into the guest bedroom like Tony asked, Steve go calm down Tony down with a drink or whatever, and I'll talk to Katie-"

"Sounds good," my Uncle nods as he quickly exits the room to go get himself a drink, pushing his way out without a second wasted. I roll my eyes and shake my head as I watch him leave, Steve mouthing a sorry at me and Peter as he follows in order to ensure my Uncle not only didn't have a hangover by the end of the night, but also talk some sense into him hopefully.

"Listen, Scott-"

"I think it's best you do as Tony said and go to the guest room," Scott cuts me off to turn to Peter who is looking down at his thumbs once again nervously, "The last thing we want is for him to calm down and then see that you two are together still."

"I might just head back home," Peter shrugs, still not looking up whilst my face falls in disappointment, "I don't want to be the cause of an argument between Katie and Mr. Stark-"

"Peter," I get up and go to him before Scott can stop me, pulling him into a tight hug which causes him to tense at first, "Please just stay. Steve'll talk some sense into him, I'm sure of it-"

"I think it's best I just go," Peter comments, squeezing me in a hug and giving me a small yet warm smile before leaving the room.

I watch as he leaves and I feel as though sadness has overwhelmed me, a tear rolling down my face. Scott remains quiet as I sit on my bed and wipe the tears from my face in utter annoyance and frustration, "I could actually rip my Uncle to shreds right now."

"But you won't," Scott tells me as he sits besides me, hand on my shoulder to show comfort, "I know you probably absolutely hate your Uncle right now because he go between you and Peter's potential relationship-"

"It wasn't a potential relationship, it was a relationship," I sigh. I look at Scott as he looks at me in confusion, "We were kissing because Peter had just asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes."

"So you're going out out?" Scott questions and when I nod his expression drops, "Oh..."

"We go together so well," I stand up and walk around the room, going from messing with my hair to biting the skin on my thumb, "We have the same interests, we have had almost the same past so we know how the other is feeling. I'm a serious Stark whilst he's more relaxed, chilled out Parker who is able to calm me down and make me actually feel better, something I haven't properly felt since my dad died-" I stop as I look at Scott who was watching me, "And now I can't see him because my Uncle 'doesn't approve'?" I do air quotations as I speak.

Scott stands up and moves over to hug me, and I breathe slowly as I calm myself down during our embrace, "Go."

"What?" I question as I move back to look at Scott, "But you just told me-"

"You go catch up with Peter, he might not have left yet, and I'll go talk to your Uncle and say all the stuff you've told me. I know I'm not the best relationship adviser, I am fully aware of that, however I can try to help you out," he smiles and I hug him again before leaving the room in the hopes of catching up with Peter.
