By the way, I don't really go back and Edit my stories. I kinda just type away and hope that I don't have any spelling errors or any grammar errors. Mostly because I don't want to and because i'm lazy so.. sorry 😁.

backstory— Nobody's POV:
Peter had been living with his aunt and uncle ever since his parents passed away from a plane crash when Peter was 7. Peter felt always like it was his fault because they weren't even suppose to be on that plane but they decided to surprise Peter by coming home a week early. If Peter never complained about them gone all the time than maybe they wouldn't have gotten on that plane and maybe they would still be with him. No merger how many times his aunt told him it wasn't his fault, he never agreed. But he didn't let himself bring others down so he was always the happy boy. The avengers loved Peter.They know, well thought that they knew everything about the boy. But Peter never told the avengers about his parents passing or his uncles. For all they knew, Peter had a full home of a happy family but instead it was just him and aunt May. Peter loved aunt May so much, he wouldn't think of a better person to be raised with.

now— nobody's POV:
It was a Friday and it was has been 7 years from today of his parents passing, he never took the day very well. He usually spent it with his aunt but his aunt had to be out of town for a few days which she felt awful about but Peter told her that he will be fine. He stayed at the avengers tower until she got back. He woke up before everybody else of course due to school hours, and headed downstairs to get in the car with Happy. Peter was quiet for the car ride but Peter was usually quiet in the morning since he is half asleep so Happy didn't suspect anything.

He got to school and meet up with Ned and MJ like he always does.
"hey Peter" Ned said unenthusiastic. Ned and MJ knew what time of the year it was and they always comforted him.
"hey guys" Peter said giving a sulking smile and they headed to class. One thing that made Peter feel better was that Flash was absent due to a doctors appointment so at least Peter got a break from him. Peter was very quiet all day, his teachers didn't mention anything of his odd behavior which Peter was thankful for. The day ended and Peter said bye to his friends and walked over to the car that Happy picked him up in.
"Hey uncle Happy" Peter said getting into the car.
"Hey kid" He said. Happy was mentally ready for Peter to chat his ear off but when he looked back at him he was looking out the window and had headphones in his ears. Happy didn't say anything because he didn't think it was his place and besides, he already had the avengers who were gonna do the lecturing. Happy pulled up to the tower where Peter hopped out of the car.
"Thanks uncle Happy" Peter said giving a fake smile.
"Ya kid" Happy said and drove off.

Peter walked into the elevator and while going up to the avengers floor he looked in the reflection of the elevator at his fake smile he was gonna give the avengers hoping it was convincing enough. The elevator doors ringed and he walked though them.
"Hey kid! How was school" Steve asked.
"Good" was all Peter said. Usually Peter told them all about his day but they didn't think much about it.
"I'm gonna go and do some home work" Peter said which was partially true, but he also wanted to release his fake smile so he walked to his room and got hours he did his homework. He didn't want to tell the avengers "hey, i'm gonna visit my parents grave, see you later" so he decided to skip patrolling and just say he was gonna go.
"Peter! Dinner!" Natasha called. Peter didn't have a appetite today but he wasn't gonna fight the assassin so he walked out to the dining room and sat at his normal seat. They tried making small talk with Peter who they started recognizing was acting weird. He didn't really eat, more like poked his food with his utensils and he wouldn't talk, just answer with one word.
"I uh.. am gonna go on patrol. night" Peter said while walking to his room. He changed to his spider-man suit and filled up his web shooters with web fluid and he was off to queens. Queens with a distance away from the tower and the cemetery was further in queens. He realized he wasn't gonna make it to curfew which was 12 and Peter never missed but to him, it was an acceptation. He arrived at a flower shop at around 11 o'clock than swung to the cemetery. It was 11:10 when he arrived. He jumped the gates and very slowly made his way to his parents grave. He stopped right in front of the grave and sat down.
"Hey mom, h-hey dad" Peter was already chocking up and he took off the mask.
"Look, I got you guys flowers. Aunt May told me that these where your favorite mom and dad... well I don't know what flowers you even like so I got you these" He said while placing the flowers down on the grave.
"I actually don't know much of anything of you two." Peter said than shook his head, he felt selfish.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be complaining. It is my fault you guys got on that plane that crashed" Peter looked down at his lap and started crying.
"I am so so so sorry." Peter said.
"anyways, I thought i'd tell you guys that I'm doing great. I've made like a family... with the avengers. If you could meet Bruce day you would love him." Peter let out a single laugh that didn't even last a second.
"Aunt May and I are doing good. Last week we cleaned up uncle Bens stuff like his clothes and work stuff. It was really hard, especially for aunt May but we are doing good." Peter looked up from his lap and at his parents grave.
"Mom... dad. I really miss you guys, I wish you were here" Peter looked at the time and saw it was 12:20.
"I love you guys so... so much" Peter said and got up. He kissed his hand and put it on his parents grave. He gave it one last look from his watery vision and put on his mask to swing home. He was in so much trouble.

At the avengers compound after Peter left they talked about how strange he was acting.
"He doesn't get back till 12, we will surly be awake. We can ask him than" Clint said. They all nodded and turned on the TV to pass time. It was a few minutes past 12 and Tony brought notice to it.
"I'll look up his location" Bruce said and when he did he didn't have access which made Tony mad because that means that his tracker was turned off. it was 12:30 and Tony and the avengers where stressing a little.
"Turn on the news, they always have spider-man on there when he's patrolling" Clint said. Bruce turned on the TV but nothing about Spider-man was on.
"So if he's not patrolling than what could he be doing?!" Tony said while talking his foot. Time passed at the avengers where still on the floor. When the time turned "1:08" Peter jumped onto the balcony which caused Tony to release a breathe he didn't know he was holding but than when Peter walked in Tony was agin furious.
"Where have you been?! You where suppose to be home over an hour ago!" Tony shouted. All the avengers stood up and looked at the boy who was still masked.
"Sorry Mr.Stark... some things— came up" Peter said.
"what was it? It obviously wasn't patrolling!" Tony shouted.
"That is none of yOUR business!" Peter surprisingly sassed back.
"First you show up late for curfew than you back talk me! Who are you?!" Tony asked Peter. Peter felt broken that he was always suppose to have a smile on his face and do everything as told and if he did any different than he would be punished.
"I'm allowed to grieve..." Peter said and ripped off his mask revealing red eyes.
"and i'll still he Peter Parker. i'm not perfect" Peter said and threw his mask and Tony and ran to the room.
"what the hell happened to the kid?" Steve asked.
"I... don't know" Tony said and looked at his mask.
"Karen, what happened tonight?" Tony spoke to the mask.
"I have audio and visual recording if you'd like to access it" Karen said. Tony asked access and it was projected on the TV where the avengers gathered to see.

It stared off with his swinging deep into Queens than by a flower shop where he bought two bouquets of flowers.
"That's odd?" Natasha said. 10 minutes later a gate way of a grave yard appeared. Peter jumped over the fence and very slowly walked over to two graves that names read "Mary Parker" and "Richard Parker."
"Oh no" Steve said know who they where based on what the kid talked about.
"Hey mom, h-hey dad" Peter said which broke each of the avengers heart. Tony felt awful for listening to this but he couldn't stop it even though he wasn't trying, he was just listening along with the other avengers.
"actually don't know much of anything of you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be complaining. It is my fault you guys got on that plane that crashed." Tony and the avengers felt awful that the boy felt to be blamed. When the avengers heard that Peter called them a family, they couldn't agree more. They also heard the news that Peters uncle had passed away.
"Mom... dad. I really miss you guys, I wish you were here. I love you guys so... so much" Peter said crying than stood up to kiss his hands and land it on the two graves. He put on his mask and hurriedly ran off.
"Why didn't he tell us?" Steve asked.
"Because I didn't not want to be the Peter Parker you guys love" Peter said from behind the couch which startled them.
"Pete I—" Tony began only he be interrupted.
"Your sorry, I know. Don't be. You didn't know what was going on so for all you knew I could have been i don't know? Doing drugs. That was on me" Peter said. Peter always blamed himself for everything.
"Peter, it's not your fault that your parents passed" Steve said.
"But it is. I kept calling and telling them I missed them so they took a plane home early to see ME and they died on that plane." Peter said, he started to cry but he didn't let the tears come down because he didn't want to show weakness in front of the worlds hero's.
"Peter, it was their choose to do that." Tony said quickly than placed Peters head on his neck so Peter could cry on Tony shoulder. The avengers where heart broken but left so Tony and Peter can be alone.
"Thanks" Peter said, he started calming. He eventually fell asleep from exhaustion on Tony's lab which was screenshot and sent to the avengers group chat by FRIDAY.
