Distressed

ch 1; the beginning

A boy with black thick hair and dark brown slanted eyes is standing in the crowd and is cheering on his favorite football team, or more correctly, on Flash Thompson, the star in the team. Team Eagle.
Since it was winter,  they were inside in the arena.
Amadeus as the short boy at sixteen years old, called, has his black coat, black pants and grey, black check pattern scarf on.
Amadeus knew who Flash was, Flash is Agent Venom, a hero who save New York from dangerous.
But Flash doesn't know who Amadeus is. Flash knows who Iron spider is, but the boy behind the yellow, red mask is unknown to him.
  Suddenly people starts shouting loudly of joy.
Number seven had done a touchdown.
Amadeus starts clapping his hands, smiling, since the man who did the touchdown was Flash.
"Oh!" Amadeus says and remember something.
" I know... this sounds weird to be me... Amadeus enjoying himself with football..." he says sighing and is looking against the readers.
"Do you want a hint? The only reason I'm standing here, is Flash... I'm actually in loved with him..." he explains and starts giggling.
"I know I know... Flash is MUCH older than me..about twenty years older... but hey! Love has no boundaries" Amadeus says and starts grinning.
Then Amadeus tilts his head.
"How  I am talking with you? Well.. the only explanation is... I have got the same power as daddy... papa thinks Daddy is crazy and I am just coping him.. but he has wrong! Daddy isn't crazy... and I'm not only monkey after him..."
Amadeus gets silent and is focusing on Flash who runs around on the field and makes fist bumps to his team.
Then the speaker tells the crowd the game was over and Eagle has won.
Everyone starts walking out from the arena, with big smiles on their faces, except the crowd who cheered on the other team who lost.

Amadeus stands alone outside the arena, waiting on Flash.
It's pretty dark outside, and late. Almost only weird people are walking outside theses hours.
It was even a weird middle-aged man in beige coat, who is giving Amadeus looks. And is circulating around him, closer for each time he turns around and walks to the other side.
About 45 minutes after the game had stopped, Flash is walking out with his sport bag in his hand and laughing with some Team members.
Amadeus feels how his heart starts beating happily of seeing the blond, older guy.
He walks against Flash.
And the weird middle-aged man walks away, defeated.
Flash and his friends gets silent when they see Amadeus.
The man with brown curly, shoulder long hair, grins widely to the tanned man with short, shaved hair.
The tanned man puts a teasing hand on Flashs shoulder.
"It looks like your boyfriend is here... good luck"
Amadeus 's heart skip a beat of the word "boyfriend"
Flash snorts and glares at the tanned man.
"Shut up... he isn't my boyfriend"
The man with curly hair starts laughing.
"Don't be shy Flashy"
Flash gives the other man a mean look.
The tanned man grabs the curly man's arm.
" Come on David... let's the lovebirds have their own privacy "
Then both guys starts laughing and walks away, leaving Flash alone with Amadeus.
"Come back here!" Flash shouts after them.
It's gets silent for a while, before Flash sighs and is looking apologising at Amadeus.
"Sorry about that..."
Amadeus shrugs with a smile.
"Don't worry... "
Flash is examining him curiously.
"Shouldn't you go home? I mean... it's pretty late and you look young... thirteen or something like that"
Amadeus pouts.
He hates when people think he is younger than he is.
"I'm sixteen... " he mumbles and feels how his happiness are sinking.
Flash starts laughing and runs his fingers through his wet hair from the shower he had taken for a moment ago.
"Oh! I'm sorry... I mistaken your age be course of your height... "
Amadeus holds his breath. It's actually childish to be upset because of your height. Yes he is short, but it's not a reason to pouts.
Flash gets silent and is looking at the boy in front of him.
" Oh... I didn't meant to say you are short... I..."
Amadeus exhales and shakes his head.
"Don't worry about that... by the way... you did a great work down on the field today... congratulations to your victory " he says and put on a fake smile.
Flash smiles.
"Thanks dude..." Flash says and starts looking around.
"Ehm... are your parents going to pick you up?" Flash asks.
Amadeus wides his eyes and gets the feeling Flash is only seeing him as a baby.
" No... I'm going to walk home, alone..." he tells Flash.
Flash starts scratching his cheekbones, thoughtfully.
"Ah... then I perhaps should keep you company and walk you home... it isn't safe at nights"
Amadeus nods and wish he could jump up and down, screaming; "Yes yes yes! Flash is walking me home!!"
But he doesn't.
"Yes, it would be a pleasure if you are walking me home"
They starts walking through the city during the darkness.
Every time they are passing  street lighting, are clouds of warm breath showing up in the cold air.
Amadeus isn't noticing the cold in his face, how his face are pale of coldness while his nose has turned into slightly red, he is only noticing his heart beats of being walked home by Flash.
And something else Amadeus is noticing is; how Flashs wet hair has turned into ice.
Amadeus grins against Flash which make Flash to tilt his head.
" What are you smiling about?"
Amadeus shrugs and nods against Flashs hair.
" I'm just noticed how your hair had turned into ice.."
Flash touchs his hair curiously.
"Oh..."
Amadeus smiles gently against him.
Flash grins against Amadeus.
"Perhaps I should buy a hat or something"
Then Flash silence and is looking curiously at the younger boy.
Amadeus raises his eyebrows.
"Is something wrong?"
Flash shrugs and starts chuckling nervously.
"I don't know... but suddenly I though you were looking like someone I knew"
Amadeus tilts his head confused and drops his hands into his pockets on his coat.
"Like who?"
Flash starts scratching his cheekbone thoughtfully and is looking away from Amadeus.
"Hmm...his name was Peter parker..."
Amadeus starts giggling and grins widely, which make Flash looking against him, asking.
" he is my Papa" he tells Flash.
"He is?"
Amadeus nods.
Flash sighs disappointed.
"I'm glad he has got a good life...."
Amadeus is looking asking at him.
"So do you..." he points out.
Flash shrugs.
" Yeah..kind of, maybe... but I doesn't have someone to share my life with"
They had reached the street there Wade's house is.
Amadeus inhales deeply. Perhaps this is his chance to ask Flash out on a date?!
" What about.. you and I taking a Coffee tomorrow?" Amadeus suggest and holds his thumbs, hidden into his pockets. Trying to give himself good luck.
Flash starts exhales laughing.
"Sorry kid... but you are too young for me... and beside... I'm interested in someone else"
Amadeus releases his holds of his thumbs and exhales disappointed.
Then he shakes his head and put on a smile.
"In who?"
Flash starts chuckling nervously.
"I know this will sound pathetic... don't laugh against me" Flash says and put up his hand between himself and Amadeus, as he tried to shield himself.
Amadeus shakes his head.
"No I won't... tell me"
Flash sighs and takes down his hand and put it into the pocket on his black sport jacket with white sleeves, and a big red seven on his chest.
" this will sounds as I am a teenager... but... ehm... I'm interested in a hero named Iron spider"
Amadeus drops his jaw.
So, Flash isn't interested in him as Amadeus, but would gladly take him as his alter ego?
Flash gets silent for a short moment and is looking at Amadeus, then he starts laughing.
"I know... I sounds pathetic "
Amadeus clears his throat.
"Eh... no! Absolutely not... it's not like you are drooling over a cartoon character..." Amadeus starts to say.
"...well hmm.. we actually counts as fictional..." Amadeus mumbles silently and gets an asking look from Flash.
Amadeus swallow and smiles against him.
"Iron Spider is real... so, it's not weird to be interested into him" he says.
Flash smiles thanks fully.
"Thanks"
Amadeus points against the white, grayish house.
" I live there" he explains.
Flash nods.
"Great... thanks for supporting me and mine team today"
Amadeus shrugs while he exhales.
"No problems... and thanks for walking me home..."
Flash raises one hand into the air.
"Of course...bye"
"Bye Flash...." Amadeus says and sees Flash walking away and enlarge the distance between them.
Suddenly Amadeus hears the front door to the house he lives in, opens.
" Where is the man!" Wade shouts and holds a gun in his hands.
Amadeus wides his eyes and walks against Wade.
"Daddy! Stop..." he begs and sees how upset Wade seems.
Peter walks out from the house and shakes his head, his chest long brown hair, moves in the air.
"Stop wade... don't make a fool of yourselves"
Wade turns around and is looking at Peter while he points against Amadeus.
" a man was walking my baby home!"
Peter shrugs.
"That was kind of him"
Meanwhile Amadeus is walking against the door.
Wade shakes his head.
"No one is allowed to put one finger on my baby!"
Amadeus rolls his eyes and is passing by Peter.
Peter smiles gently against his son and pat him on his shoulder.
" he is sixteen Wade"
Amadeus starts walking upstairs and didn't want to listen to his parents.
"Too young for dates!" Wade shouts.
Amadeus sighs and walks into his room.

Amadeus sits down on his chair by the desk who stands below the only window his has in his small room.
He takes off his scarf and jacket and let them hanging on the chair.
Then he starts his laptop and starts Google on agent Venom and starts giggling as a teenagers girl who is in love. He is reading news about the famous hero.
It seems as everyone loves him.
At first, everyone had been afraid of agent Venom, but shortly after his appearance, everyone starts loving him. He even had got fan-clubs there people are talking about him and wishing they got rescued by him.
Suddenly the door behind Amadeus opens and he jolts shocked and close the laptop.
"Excuse me.." Peter says.
Amadeus turns around and is looking at his papa.
"Is something wrong?" He asks his papa, the one who had carried him as infant in his stomach.
Peter shakes his head and walks over to Amadeus's bed and sits down.
" Sorry about your daddy's behaviour... lucky you, the man was already gone"
Amadeus sighs deeply.
"Yeah... it would be extremely embarrassing if daddy had pointed his gun on him"
Peter smiles gently and is examining Amadeus curiously.
" Do you date that man?" Peter asks and makes Amadeus to blush.
"Ehm..." Amadeus starts looking around shyly, while he plays with his bottom lip with his teeth.
"No I doesn't..." he answers after a while.
Peter chuckles.
"Okay... but if you do it some day... tell me, so I can talk with your daddy"
Amadeus nods.
"Thanks papa... you are the best" he says and is smiling widely.
Peter shakes his head.
"No... you are... I'm impressed that you have already graduated... who could know you would graduate as fourteen years old?!"
Amadeus chuckles.
"Well... my grandpa is Tony Stark... of course some in the family would get his geniuses"
Peter nods slowly.
"Yeah... maybe you have right..." Peter says and clears his throat. The topic about his father has always been sensitive to him.
Peter is looking at Amadeus's closed laptop, curiously.
" The new project in your class is getting started tomorrow? Right?"
Amadeus nods excited.
"Yes it is... If I wins, I will become Dr.connors assistance...and take over his lab some day" he tells Peter and is wishing he will wins the competition.
"You will probably win... have you think about a project you will work on?" Peter asks.
Amadeus shrugs.
"Yeah, I have... but since we are going to work in pairs, I will wait and see what my partner has for ideas"
"Good idea..." Peter says and runs his fingers through his hair.
Peter gives Amadeus's laptop a last look.
"Don't stay up too late... you have an important day tomorrow" Peter says and stands up from the bed.
"I promise!"
Peter starts walking to the door, but turns around in the door frame.
"Oh... how did the match turned out today?" Peter asks.
Amadeus gives Peter a thumb up.
"We won"
Peter nods.
"Great"
Then Peter leaves the bedroom and closes the door behind him.
Amadeus knows Peter isn't interested in sports. But Peter doesn't knows Amadeus doesn't care, either.
Peter would die, if he knew Amadeus is only going on the matches to drooling over a much older guy. Peter's former bully from high school. The same guy who had told his feelings to Peter and got rejected.
  Amadeus opens the laptop again and continues to browsing on the Internet, after information about Agent Venom and Flash Thompson.
He is looking forward to tomorrow class. Hopefully he will find a kind partner to work with.
Sadly, mostly in that class is looking down on him since he is younger than them. Most of the classmates are around twenty-five years old. None are younger than twenty-one years, except him, who is sixteen, soon Seventeen.
But he has heard a new student will show up. Someone from another nation than USA.
He is looking forward to meet that person, hopefully he is kind and smart.
Someone Amadeus can talk with, without getting judged by his age....
