It had been just after 6pm, when the Avengers had finished eating dinner, when Tony had asked Peter to come with him to the airport. And, being the good "son" that he was, he had agreed; after all, Peter did enjoy meeting new people. On the journey there, Tony had filled him in on this boy they were picking up: how, in the winter of 2013, he had broken into a Tennessee outhouse and befriended the boy he found there and had kept in touch with him ever since. Peter couldn't help but notice similarities between Tony's relationship with this boy and him- they were both young, scientifically intelligent boys that he had befriended- except Peter and him regarded each other as family, like father and son, whereas his relationship with this boy seemed mostly friendship based. Given as this boy shared many interests with him, was the same age, and would be attending the same school, Peter hoped they would be friends. He normally made friends quite easily, and since going with a senior to homecoming in his freshman year, he had become relatively popular. Whatever happened, Peter was excited to welcome this new kid to the Iron family.
~~
The first sight he caught of the boy was him laden with extensive suitcases, misshapen bags and a suspicious looking case, causing Peter to snort with laughter into his burger. Just looking at how similar he was to him brought a smile to his face: they obviously shared a love for crazy elaborate inventions.
"Hi........." the boy said nervously.
"Hi, I'm Peter, Peter Parker" he replied.
"Harley Keener."
Sharing a warm smile and a friendly handshake, Peter took a proper look at this Harley guy. He wasn't traditionally attractive, with his longish shaggy brown hair a little on the greasy side, but he invoked something in Peter that he had never felt before. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it spread through his body like the warmth in summer twilight, quickening his heartbeat.
He had a feeling that this guy was going to be a great friend.
