Peter's humming happily as he stuffs his backpack with everything he might need this weekend. The sweet Italian tune has been stuck in his head ever since they got back from the island last weekend. Ned's sitting on Peter's bed, his back propped against the wall. Ned doesn't go home every single weekend and he always complains how he wants Peter to stay as well. He doesn't like how quiet it is without him there.
Next weekend, he'd promised his best friend. Next weekend he'll skip out on his boyfriend to stay the weekend with Ned to go out partying, studying together, maybe some gaming. It's been too long since he's done that.
"Pete?"
"Hmmm?"
"You actually love him. Don't you?" Ned's voice is so serious it has Peter stop pushing his sweatpants into the already fully stuffed bag. He looks at the other boy, slowly nodding.
"I... I do? Why?" Ned shrugs.
"At first I figured it might just be some," Ned waves his hands into the air, "-some power trip thing or whatever. Just fucking, y'know? Kinda like your Poe crush," The other student sighs grinning at the memory and Peter looks down trying to hide his blush. Yes, Dameron had starred in many of his late teenage fantasies - the poster still very much taped to the wall next to his Tony Stark one. "Nevermind, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you, dude."
"Thanks, man," Peter answers softly, a warm feeling spreading in his chest as he pushes the Star Wars comment out of his head. He's happy to hear that his best friend is actively accepting his relationship. It's not like he hadn't noticed Ned's confused expression when he first told him. He understood that. No one really got it in the beginning. How could a rich, famous man like Tony Stark ever want more than just sex from an awkward college kid like himself? It'd seemed highly unlikely. Even Peter had had his doubts the first few weeks. However, over the course of their time together, it'd become very clear that this was so much more. With every passing day, Peter had more trouble remembering what it'd been like to be single. "That means a lot."

"You should ask him over next weekend."
"What?" Peter's eyes widen and he snorts - an image in his head showing him Tony sitting on his bed, eating chips and gaming with them. "You can't be serious."
"I am. I'm your best friend , he's your boyfriend or whatever. You've been hanging out in his luxurious wealth for whoever knows how long. Don't you think it's time for him to come spend time in our world?"
Peter's quiet for a moment. Ned might actually be onto something here. Peter enjoys every single minute he spends at Tony's place, but it's a very different life. Sometimes, it almost feels as if he's living two separate lives. He's not very secretive about either one of them, but they're not yet... Merging.
"Are you sure?" Ned nods happily, handing him his phone charger. Peter scrunches his nose, not sure if it still fits in the backpack. He decides to lose a few of his shirts and then pulls the zipper down, sighing happily.
"Alright, I'll ask him."
"Sick."

-

Peter's nervous to ask Tony. So he waits. For now. He'll ask when the moment's right. Tony's sauntering around the kitchen, trying to cook for the both of them. Peter's seated on the barstool, going over his notes once more. He has to give a presentation next Monday and he decided to practice as often as possible this weekend.
Tony points at him with the big kitchen knife as Peter mumbles something about the way vortices would've scattered superfluid spacetime according to professor Mazur. "That theory, kid, has not exactly been proven true or false yet."
"I know," Peter mumbles, "-we don't have to talk about reliability. It's about the way theories arise and how they influence other ones."
"That sounds... Philosophic."
"Yup, it is. It's fun though, we get to explore so many theories like this! Do you know just how many possibilities there are, Mr. Stark? If, for example, Mazur's theory would actually be true, okay? Do you see how that influences our work as Avengers? " Peter's eyes are wide and passionate and it has Tony smile proudly.
"You mean how it'd influence the expansion of the universe?"
" Exactly! "
"Well, when you finish this project, tell me about your conclusion."
"Oh, I will."
