Tony x Nat, IDK if anyone even ships them but like it was originally gonna be Steve but I've done a lot of Stony lately and I don't even ship it. Just trying to have some shipping diversity.

Peter fell against the brick wall, tears falling freely from his eyes. He wipes his nose on his sleeve and hits the wall with his fist. He looks around wildly, but he can't figure out where he is.

Peter was doing his homework quietly when his dad walked into the room. He smiled down at Peter and sat next to him.

"What are you working on?" Tony asked, leaning over Peter's shoulder.

Peter showed Tony his workbook, "AP Physics."

"Be honest with me, kid," Tony began, "how easy is it for you?"

Peter blushed, "I already finished the entire workbook and my teacher told me that as long as I get my assignments turned in that I can go to the library and have a study hall." Tony smiled proudly and squeezed his shoulder. Tony was about to respond when Nat appeared in the doorway. Nat had been on a mission for over a week. Peter saw her over Tony's shoulder, his eyes went wide, "Mama!" Peter shouted. He jumped up and ran to hug Nat. Nat and Peter hugged tightly.

"Peter," Nat said. "I missed you so much."

Peter smiled up at Nat, "I missed you too. Why didn't you tell us when you would be back?"

Nat looked guilty, "I'm sorry, Peter." She rested her hand on the top of Peter's head. "I should have sent something."

"It's okay, Mama," Peter said quietly. Nat hugged Peter again and kissed the top of his head before turning to Tony. The two kissed briefly before hugging tightly. Tony said something quietly to Nat before turning back to Peter who had sat back down on the couch.

"Peter," Tony said, "could you go finish your homework in your room?" Peter looked quickly between his parents. Both of his parents could see the anxiety that flooded through Peter as he collected his homework and disappeared into his room.

As soon as Peter shut his door behind him he threw himself onto his bed. He buried his face in his pillow. He could hear his parents' voices coming from behind the door.

"We were worried sick about you, Nat," Tony hissed. Peter clenched his fists into his blankets. "You could have sent a message. We didn't know if you were okay."

"I'm sorry, Tony, I was busy and I-"

"Nat you have a son now. You can't keep doing this," Tony said louder. Peter could feel his tears welling up in his eyes as his parents' voices grew louder and louder. They had been doing this more and more often and Peter hated it.

Peter sighed and sat up, he tugged at his hair and addressed FRIDAY again, "FRIDAY, are Papa and Mama going to get a divorce?"

FRIDAY replied immediately, "I don't know, Peter. What makes you say that?"

Peter shook his head, "I don't know. They fight all the time now."

"I'm sure that everything is fine, Peter," FRIDAY replied, her voice sweet. But Peter was not soothed by FRIDAY's comforting words. He heard Tony yell something at Nat and Nat yell right back. He covered his ears with his hands and squeezed his eyes shut. He curled in on himself and took a deep breath, staving off a panic attack.

Peter sniffed and looked up at the ceiling, "FRIDAY, mute everything."

"Of course, Peter." FRIDAY replied. His parents' voices were suddenly blocked out.

"Peter, you seem to be in distress," FRIDAY said, "would you like me to alert your parents?"

Peter shook his head, "No. I'm fine." Then he made a choice. He stood up and pulled on his jacket. He just needed to get out, to get away from his parents. He threw open his window and climbed out. He clung to the wall with one hand and dug into his pocket with the other. He took out his phone and threw it inside his bedroom.
