Peter got his history paper back, he looked at the marked grade on top.

B+

Peter grew frustrated, he hated getting anything less than a A-. cause anything below that is a failed grade to him. History wasn't Peter's strong subject, he didn't hate it per say but he just didn't understand alot of the mumbo jumbo that's happening.

What Peter did hate was the thought of disappointing his parents, especially his dad, with this grade, like c'mon! He was the heir to Stark Industries, he shouldn't have grades as low as this! He was supposed to know better! To be better!

Time Skip

The last bell finally rang and Peter was out of this place, exams were coming up and he knew he should redeem his failed grade so he wouldn't have less than a A- on his report card.

So he promised himself that he would work twice as hard, even if he had to stay up all night just to do so.

Peter exited the school and saw a sleek black car waiting for him, he aproached the car, knocking on the window to check if Happy is still awake since he tends to take naps while waiting for him.

Once he sees Happy up and waiting he opens the passenger door and got in the car, as soon as he got in he opened his books and started to study the hell out of those books.

Once they arrived at the Tower Peter finally closed the book, exiting the car giving Happy a quick thanks and entering the tower, fast forward to Peter in his room still reading and taking notes of everything he needs to know until Tony knocked on his room and came in

"Hey bud whatcha doin? I didn't see you greet me when you got home today, what's up?"

When he entered Peter's room Peter didn't hear him since he was wearing headphones and being 'in the zone' Tony approached Peter startling him

"Boo!"

"AH! (Staph! I coulda dropped my croissant!) Dad! What are you doing??"

"Well I just came in to see what you were doing since you didn't see me down in the lab as soon as you got home today, which is rare so what's up?"

"Well if you must know I'm just.. studying. you know? Don't want to fall behind, I'll help with the lab tomorrow I promise, there's just this upcoming exam and I can't fail this" Peter said concentrating back to his notes.

Tony just hummed at his answer and walked towards Peter's bag beside his bed where a paper was sticking out, Tony looked at it before going

"Ah, B+ huh?"

Peter suddenly turned towards Tony snatching the paper out of Tony's hands before rambling

"IknowImsorryIlldobetternexttimeIpromiseI-"

"Peter relax, you call this a failed grade? This is a pretty good grade if I do say so myself" Tony said taking the paper back

"Wait, so you're not mad at me?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad? B+ for history? That's pretty good I used to have a B- when I was your age"

At this point Peter was speachless, he didn't know how to process this information, that his father had a slightly lower grade than his, his father, the great Tony Stark, had a B- compared to his B+, its unbelievable!

"Look kiddo, I get that you wanna make me proud but I was already proud of you from the start, you don't need to push yourself too hard and just relax a bit, I know you'll do great on that test without even having to study, now, why don't you come out of your room and let's have dinner and insted lf the lab tonight let's just watch a movie with some ice cream yeah?"

"Y-Yeah! Sure"

Tony gave Peter a side hug before going to the living room

"Hey Pete"

"Yeah dad?"

"I love you kiddo"

"I love you too dad"

And they both proceeded to watch Disney movies until Peter fell asleep on Tony's shoulder and Tony carried him back to his room.
