*TW Self harm*

Clink! Went the window as Peter went kicked it open with his legs. He backflipped and showed off as much as he can knowing Tony was going to be waiting there for him. He had sent him a message saying he'd wait for him in his office.

When he stood up from his acrobatics he saw Tony facing the wall.
"H-hey Dad!" Peter could sense the tension in the room. This wasn't going to be good news.

"Sit down Peter. " Peter did as he was told and sat down in a chair across Tony's desk. Tony called him Peter instead of his usual Pete so he knew this was serious. Tony turned around a began to talk

"Would you mind explaining this?"  He threw a plastic bag onto the desk containing a thin razor with slight blood on it. Peter felt his heart-stopping immediately as he knew his deepest secret was revealed. But he still tried to act calm.

"Ohhhhh my razor! Yes, I use that to shave...my hairs..."

"Then why is there blood on it?" His voice was firm and he was clearly struggling to keep his voice low.

"Umm... I'm not very good at it?" Peter felt a drop of sweat drip down from his face.

"Peter... look I know you harm yourself so please just tell me why." Tony's stern look turned to a soft worried one that instantly made Peter feel bad.

Peter felt an intense amount of guilt as he ran out of Tony's office and to his room. Tony immediately ran after him but got there just after Peter had closed the door and told Karen to lock it.

"Karen unlock the door."

Karen opened the door immediately with a quick and unsure 'okay sir' she didn't if know if it was a good idea but was worried for Peter so complied. When Tony walked in he saw peter wrapped in blankets on his bed.

"Pete...come out. We need to talk." When Tony got no response he decided to take action and started hugging him through the blanket. "Pete love, this is a serious thing we need to talk about. You can't hide forever, but you can take a break with me if you'd like." that caught Peters's attention, he pushed off his blanket from his face and looked at Tony. 

"Let's go on a trip, we can go anywhere but you have to tell me your problems." Peter looked down and sighed. 

"Okay, let's go." He got up and grabbed Tony, "The place I want to go... Is here." He walked into Tony's room and. literally, threw him on the bed. He got in aswell and laid next to him for a solid minute they sat them basking in their warmth then Peter spoke up.

"Ever since May died I...I haven't felt okay... I was so scared that you'd die too and didn't want this curse to affect you as well. S-so one day when I accidentally cut myself I felt some sort of relief, maybe because I know that I deserve it." Peter buried his face in Tony's chest hidding his teary eyes.

"There was a slight satisfaction seeing the blood from my arm drip down, like a way of reminding me I'm nothing. Then I found out they wouldn't heal like normal wounds. Self-inflicted cuts take longer than it takes for cuts that I'd get on patrol. they scar and leave ugly marks on my skin, like a reminder that I'm a curse" By now tears were running down Peter's face as he told him his troubles. Tony pulled him away for a second to look at him them embraced him in a hug, "I'll never leave you, Peter. And you're not a curse If anything you're a blessing. The reason I wake up every morning. Peter, you are more than worth it, you deserve the world."

"Dad, promise me you won't die like the others, promise me you'll stay," Peter begged him as he cried in his father's shoulder, hoping he'd never abandon him.

"I won't Peter. I won't."

sksksksksk I wrote this one after some personal problems I've been having and just want to say if you ever feel like you're 'worthless' or 'not good enough' then talk to someone. keeping it bottled up only makes it worse. and I know that cutting makes some people feel better but imagen if this was your best friend or sibling or anyone. It feels horrible thinking you're a waste of space but believes me hurting yourself in any way is not the solution.
