Tea Time

Chapter 6

Peter's POV
I was pacing back and forth as I waited for everyone to join me in the common room. "Calm down. You're making me nervous with all your pacing." Ned said as he grabbed my hand, the elevator dinged and he immediately let go. He was going to let me do this my way.

(Capital letters mean his voice cracked)

"hEllo eveRYone. thAnk you for comIng." I said not being bothered by all of my nervous voice cracks, I looked at Ned he had a reassuring smile on his face and was giving me a thumbs up. "I'm gAy," I said and everyone froze except Natasha who was a spy and had figured it out a long time ago and Peggy who I told 20 minutes earlier. I hadn't been expecting their responses and from the looks of it neither had Ned, MJ, Peggy, or Nat.
"No, you're not. You will not be gay. You live under this roof so you will not be gay!" Tony said, that kind of confused me a bit he was my father he should accept me, right? "You're a mistake. Gay people are mistakes." Steve said. Okay, that hurt more than I thought it would.

(all of these bad sentences are purely for the story! None of this is what I believe! I love all people and I accept everyone no matter what their sexuality/gender may be. You are all perfect!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!)

I couldn't take anymore of this, I ran to the elevator Ned close behind and MJ following him. "FRIDAY if anyone asks where I am tell them that they'll never see me again. Unless it's Peggy or Natasha tell them I'm at Ned's house." I said through tears as Ned wrapped his arms around me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and knew that if Ned hadn't been basically holding me right now MJ definitely would be. "Of course Peter." the AI responded as we walked out of the elevator. I saw Happy st the front desk. I looked at Ned and MJ and they both nodded. "Hey Happy, we don't need these anymore. We're never coming back. Goodbye." I said as the three of us handed him our security badges, he looked confused. We walked away before he had a chance to say anything.

Ned's POV
I grabbed my phone and dialed my mom's number, "Hey sweetie what's up?" She asked when she picked up. "Peter came out to his family. And it went badly. Is he still able to stay with us?" I asked and I heard her ask my father the same question. "Of course he is! We would love to have him!" My mother said after she had gotten the answer from my father. I said thank you and told her we were on our way there now then hung up and grabbed Peters hand, MJ grabbed the other and the three of us walked the city streets that lead to my house.

MJ's POV
I'm going to kill every single one of them. Avengers be damned! They hurt my best friend and that is not okay. I'm not going to let this slide, I will make sure that they pay for how they made Peter feel. I look over to see that Peter still has tears streaming down his face, I looked at Ned who looked like was talking to him in a voice only Peter would be able to hear, but I could tell by his facial expression that he was trying to calm his boyfriend down. Peter tripped and landed on his face, any other day that would have been funny, but today it was just sad and made me want to burst into tears right then. "Come on Petey, let's get you to Ned's," I said as I picked him up and put him on my back. He was surprisingly light. I shot a look of fear to Ned and I can tell he instantly understood by the way his face took in the same look. I felt tears filling my eyes at the thought of Peter trying to starve himself... Again.

Peter's POV
It feels like my entire world is crumbling down around me, Peter Parker has finally crashed down and was shatter on impact. How could someone do this to their own family? They said things that they KNEW would hurt me. Yet they didn't even feel bad for saying those things. They're lucky that Loki isn't on planet. At that thought I looked at Ned from where I rested on MJ's back, this is just like old times. Nothing has to change, I can go from her house to his house just like I did before the Avengers ever knew my name. Jason has been trying to stay away from all of the Avengers for the exact same reason as me, he knew they would freak out if they knew that he was transgender I should have listened to him, I shouldn't have told the others.
