Iron Boy [Peter Parker x Male Reader]

Chapter Forty Four

Mj's P.O.V

I was sitting at the counter, finishing up some homework, when there was a knock at the door. My dad shouted for me to get it.
I opened the door to see no one there. I looked down the hallway and saw a small drone, with a soft blue light on its belly, floating away.
I looked down to the floor to see an envelope, I picked it up.
In fancy scripture was the words: To Michelle Jones. My address followed that.
I brought it back inside and then slid my finger across the envelope flap opening the letter. I slid out the paper.
I began to read the letter:
"To whomever is reading this letter, congratulations! You have been invited to the annual Stark New Year's Eve Party! Unfortunately this year, Mr. Stark senior will not be able to intend, so instead this year it will be hosted by Mr. Y/N Stark and Ms. Pepper Potts. Guests may begin arrival at 7:00 pm and stay until 1:00 am. This year's party will be held at the S-Corp satellite building in Burlington, Vermont. We hope to see you there!
Signed, Smoak Stark
Approved by Y/N Stark"
I took a picture of the letter, then set it on the counter.
"What have you gotten yourself into now, Y/N..."

Y/N's P.O.V

"Smoak!" I snapped.
"Yes, sir?"
"What the hell were you thinking? 'Congratulations! You have been invited to the annual Stark New Year's Eve Party...'?"
"I don't see the problem."
"Why are we congratulating them?"
"It seemed like a congratulatory event."
"It's an invite! To a party!"
"My apologies. Although sir, you did give me your approval to send them. Would you like me to recall the drones and fix the remaining invitations?"
"I gave you my approval without reading them because I assumed it would be okay. And no, don't recall them. It's not that big of a deal."
"My apologies."
"It's fine."
I set my glass tablet down on my desk and plopped down onto my chair.
"Incoming call from Ms. Potts." Smoak said.
"Put her through."
There was a series of beeps.
"Hello?" I said.
"Y/N, it's Pepper, I just wanted to call you to let you know that I'm headed out to Vermont now to make sure everything is running smoothly over in Burlington. I had some of the workers pull your car around, it's ready whenever you are to head out."
"Okay, thanks Pep, I'll see you later tonight."
"See you."
I hung up and swirled my chair around.
      "Call Peter."
      "Yes, boss."
      After a brief moment Peter's voice spoke: "Hello?"
      "Hey, Pete. You all ready for tonight?"
      "Yeah, I'm finishing up packing now."
      "Great, can't wait to see you. Any word from Ned?"
      "I don't think he's coming. He said he had stuff to do. His loss, right?"
      "I guess so. I gotta get back to work, but I'll see you later."
      "Okay, see you, love you."
      I smiled, "Love you too."
      The line disconnected and I stood up.
      I made my way to Maggie's desk outside.
      "Is everything prepared at the satellite?"
      "Yes, sir. Everything seems to be in working order. IRIS is feeding me constant updates and helping to sort out any issues that may arise."
      "Good. I'm gonna head out early, have a good night, Maggie. Happy New Years."
      "Okay, boss. Happy New Years."
      I headed for the elevator and pressed the button, moments later it began to descend.

"Smoak, have one of the bots load these bags into my trunk. Make sure the conserve as much space as possible."
"Yes, sir."
"What's up with Peter and Mj?"
"Mr. Parker should be here in about 10 minutes. Ms. Jones in about 15."
"Okay, thank you."
I went over to the kitchen and began to place some snacks into a bag, along with a few drinks. It was a pretty long drive.
I looked out the window to see a squad of drones working in sync to load the bags into the trunk of my Audi Q8.
My eyes wandered from the bots to the lower, side of the car. There were dirt and mud splatters all over the side, tainting the, once beautiful, white color.
"Smoak, you think we have time to run through a car wash?"
"We could make it work."
"Good."
Last week some guys from school and I decided to take it down some forest paths, it didn't go over well, but my dad never found out so we were fine.
Since my dad, Pepper, and the doctors explained to the government and to the world that I was actually sixteen, the government now sees me as just that, a sixteen year old boy. So, with that, I was allowed to get my license and a car, which was a gift from my dad. Audi sold it to him for cheap since he buys a lot of their cars.
I walked down the stairs and over to the front door, stepping outside and up to my car. I opened the back door and set the bag of snacks on the seat where Ned would have sat, if he had been coming.
      I heard the sound of wheels on gravel and looked up to see Boston's car pull up behind mine.
      Peter crawled out of the back with a backpack in his hands. Boston got out and went over to the trunk, he pulled out a red suitcase and set it down on the ground.
      "Hey, Y/N!" Peter called out, as he reached for his suitcase.
      I smiled at him, "Hey."
      He wheeled his suitcase over to me and wrapped me in a hug.
      After we separated I reached over, grabbed his bag, and set it in the trunk.
"Get situated, we're leaving in the next ten minutes, as soon as Mj gets here."
He nodded and crawled into the passenger seat.
"Smoak?"
"She should be arriving in about ten minutes."
I walked inside and jogged up to my room. I stepped into my closet. I pulled on a pair of tight, black dress pants. I tucked a black dress shirt into them, then tugged a black suit jacket over it, the lapels were sparkly gold.
I tugged my shoes on and tied them.
"Ms. Jones is a minute out."
"Thank you."
I walked back out to the driveway and up to the car, Boston was standing outside his car.
"Boston! Go home, spend time with your family. Tell them I say hi. Go have a good holiday."
"Yes, boss. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year."
He crawled back into his car and pulled away, another one of my drivers pulled into the driveway and Mj stepped out of the car and tossed her bag in the trunk.
"Let's get this show on the road," she said.
I shut the trunk and walked around to the driver's side and crawled in. I pressed the ignition button and the engine started.
"You guys ready for this?"
They both looked at each other.
"Don't even worry, it's gonna be great. Barrels of fun. Tons of people, music, food, it'll be fun. Let's do it."
I pressed my foot onto the gas and pulled out of the driveway onto the road, with Smoak instructing me on where to go.

I sped the turn and around the building. The large modern garage door automatically opened as I approached. I drove down the ramp to the lower garage and pulled into a parking spot.
We all piled out of the car and grabbed our bags from the trunk. A worker came up and grabbed my bags.
"Listen, I hate to bail on you guys, but I've got to go meet up with Pepper. This man here will show you guys to your rooms, get situated, I'll catch up with you guys."
"Kay," was all Mj said before wheeling her suitcase away, following the man.
Peter came up to me and kissed my cheek.
"Don't stress yourself too much, okay?"
"I won't," I smiled.
He followed after Mj and I turned to go find Pepper before people began arriving.

I stood by the door, shaking hands with people and exchanging pleasantries with whomever came in. Once there was a small break I groaned and rubbed my face, turning around.
"Yeah, your father never really had a knack for this either."
"Yeah..." I scoffed.
I rolled up my sleeve a little and check my watch.
It was 11:30.
"Why don't you go find your friends? I'll handle things from here on out," she said.
"You sure?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Thank you, you're a life-saver," I sighed.
I wandered deep into the party, I met up with Peter and Mj in the main ballroom, sitting at a table.
He stood up and grabbed me by the elbows as soon as I walked up.
He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a skinny black tie.
"This party is absolutely insane!" he said with a massive smile on his face.
"Yeah?"
"Yes! People know who I am, Y/N. They know me! They talk to me and some of the younger ones play party games with me and some of them get me drinks!"
I shushed him a little at that, laughing.
"This is so fun...!" he whisper-yelled.
"I'm glad you're having fun," I looked over to Mj. "And what about you?"
She shrugged, "It's all right."
I could tell she was just being nonchalant.
I smiled at her, then glanced at my watch again.
11:57.
"You mind if I steal him for a minute?"
"Take away. I'm tired of babysitting..."
Peter scoffed, but I pulled him away, towards the stage.
I walked up to the microphone and tapped on it.
"Hello...? Check, check." I said sarcastically, a few chuckles spread. "Good evening, everyone."
A few replies sounded.
"I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I know this wasn't the usual party, but I'm glad you still took the time to come out here tonight. This year has been rough for both me and my family, so here's hoping the new year decides to shape up a little. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope even though my father didn't host this year, you still consider this a great way to end the year," A worker came up with a tray with two champagne flutes, I took one and handed the other to Peter. "And here's to a great new year and many more to come."
I lifted my glass.
They all followed then began to clink glasses with those around them, I knocked mine against Peter's, then took a sip.
I waited for Peter to take a sip, then snatched it from him before he could drink it all.
"C'mon..." he whined.
"You've had enough tonight," I chuckled.
I handed the glasses to a worker.
I checked my watch, 11:59.
"Smoak?"
The screen behind me faded to the ball in Times Square and a large timer beneath it.
The crowd fell into sync: "Ten...nine...eight..."
I looked over to Peter and took his hand as we counted.
"...five...four...three...two...one," I leaned over to the microphone as they all cheered. "Happy New Year everyone!"
Peter pulled me towards him. I rested my hands on his shoulder as he kissed me, deeply, passionately.
His lips tasted faintly of alcohol.
The party began to sing Auld Lang Syne behind us. We smiled at each other, then joined in.
Peter leaned over.
"Meet me in my room later, I had a few things in mind we could do to celebrate tonight..." he purred.
Chills spread over my body and gave him a look that we shared.
I smiled, the placed my arms on his shoulders.
"I'll be there...Happy New Year, Pete."
"Happy New Year, Y/N."
