The Game of Life

Vibez

Ok for this chapter please play "99" by Barns Courtney. But also make sure to end it early because I hate the ending of this song.

3rd person

"Do you ever get to wondering, what life would be like if dogs controlled humans?" Peter asked while laying on the floor beneath the skylight across the water from Stephen. Feet dipped into the indoor pool.

In the background played many songs that were just putting them in their feels. Kinda felt like they were high. Just the two of them their while the rest of the team was called by Fury.

"We would say boof, and they would say shhhhh don't bark," Stephen lazily babbled.

"Haha boof. It rhymes with woof," Peter highly laughed. "Boof, Boof bitch."

"I don't think having steam infused with essential oil was a great idea," Stephen lolled.

"Pshh. Nonsense I feel as high as a kite."

"But we didn't even take any drugs,"

Peter laughed and swung his feet, "What if you put flex seal on the bottom of your feet, and you hang off the edge of a building. Would you stay, or fall?" 

"Well you would probably just stay there because you are Spiderman and all."

"Well yeah, but someone normal with no powers. Would they stay or fall?"

"I mean, those commercials really do look real, so I would say they stick," Stephen said watching the clouds move past.

"Flex seal, gets the tough- wait never mind that's oxi-clean,"

Stephen burst out laughing, which also made Peter start laughing, "You didn't finish, oxiclean gets the tough stains out."

"Heh," Peter sighed as he swung his feet against the water.

"So do you have some good friends?" Stephen asked.

"I don't need friends, they disappoint me," Peter took a stance pose, but still was lying down on the ground.

"Are you scared of birds?"

"I mean, I'm scared of Clint sometimes. Does that count?" Peter said as he turned his head.

"Not what I was really looking for, but I guess. What I really mean is, don't you think it's creepy how they just sit and stare at you? It's like they're robots."

"The birds work for the bourgeoisie,"

Stephen laughed, "Indeed they do."

"Do you like my dad?"

"No"

"Waa?!" Peter quickly darted his head over to Stephen who had a smirk on his face. "B-But he's y-

"I love him"

"You ass," Peter huffed as he stared back up at the sky.

A couple minutes of comfortable silence filled the room.

"We should probably get up, and not be losers," Stephen slowly took his feet out of the water.

"Help I've fallen and I can't get up," Peter chuckled as he flailed his arms and legs.

Stephen just chuckled as he got his legs out of the water, and walked over to Peter and hoisted him off the ground.

"Thanks, Dr. Dad"

"Huh?"

"I-I mean, Mr. Step- no, Dr. Strange," Peter stammered as he felt embarrassed.

Stephen chuckled once more and said, "By all means kid, call me Dr. Dad."

"R-Really?!"

"Of course! You're like a son to me."

Peter didn't hesitate to pull him into a hug. Stephen smiled as he hugged him back. "You're a great kid Peter."

"Thank you.....Dr. Dad."

"Of course cub."

To ruin the moment the ringing of Peter's phone could be heard. You are my daaaad. YOU'RE MY DAD! bOoGiE wOoGiE woOGie.

Peter quickly scrambled to his pocket of his rolled up sweats, and answered the call. He hit speaker so Stephen could also hear.

"Hey, Peter. Just got done with the mission. Wasn't anything that bad. Just wanted to know if you want any McDonald's. But don't tell Stephen I said that!"

"Oh, yeah, of coa-

"Tony! Did you just say McDonald's?!," Stephen grabbed the phone in anger.

"Oh. Hey. It's my boyfriend, who I didn't know was also on this call. Love you."

"Anthony, you are to fly straight home, and eat a healthy and nutritious dinner. You hear me? This is a threat."

Peter just stared horror faced at him, because he knew Tony was screwed the second he took off his mask.

"Yeah, yeah. I know Wizard."

"Ugggg! For the last time Anthony it's SORCERER!" Stephen screamed into the phone.

"Jeez, didn't know you started your period."

"That's it no cuddles!"

"Waa?! No I'm kidding. I swear! Please I need cu-

Beep

"Well that solves that," Stephen said handing the phone back to Peter.

"You're going to kill him later, aren't you?"

"Yup."

Stephen stood there at the landing deck, tapping his foot with his arms crossed. Then the familiar sound of Tony's thruster could be heard. Of course he had to land in his signature Ironman pose.

He got up and faced Stephen, "On second thought." Tony tried to blast away, but was caught by Stephen's fizzing red roped.

"Damn."

"Oh honey, I see your home."

Tony grunted as he was being dragged towards Stephen. "Off."

"What?"

"The mask. Now!"

Tony hesitated for a bit, and opened his mask up. "Hello th-

Tony was cut off by Stephen's lips on his. He was very much so confused why he was kissing him. He seemed much more angry at him just a second ago. Anyway, he happily returned the kiss. Then after a couple seconds, pulled away.

"You're precious face is cut and bruised," Stephen said as he gently rubbed Tony's face.

"So you're not mad?"

"I like making you think that, but the Wizard thing has got to stop."

"Ok."

"Thank yo-

"But no promises," Tony smirked as he nano tech suit faded.

"Do you wanna die?!" Stephen threatened.

"Kinda."

"Tony we talked about this."

Stephen pulled Tony back into another hug, and kissed his forehead. "I told no. You're too precious to be taken from this world."

"I know," Tony chuckled as he pulled Stephen into another kiss.

"Peter called me 'dad' in some form today."

"Really?!" Tony's face it up.

"Mhm."

"That's wonderful Steph. He's really warming up to you."

"Yup. Now you wanna go eat some lasagna with Peter and I?"

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Tony smiled at him.

"Good."

Stephen kissed Tony's forehead once more before releasing him, and walked hand in hand into the dining area.

What an amazing family they have become.
