Tickle stories - Marvel (One Shots)

A little "help" while studying (Tony x Peter)

It was a lazy Sunday evening, the Avenger’s team had finished their order in of Chinese food and were now battling one another at Mario cart. Tony watched the television and blinked his dry tired eyes. Getting up to grab a cup of coffee he realised a particular person had retreated the group a while ago. He looked at the lot for the spider and saw no sign of him. Walking through the stark tower he saw Peters door ajar. Going to the door he reached out to knock lightly when he heard a soft noise. Drawing back he took a moment to listen. He mostly heard muttering than sighs, slightly pushing the door open with his knuckle he peeked through the door. He saw the teen pacing and flipping through key cards. He’d read one side of the card than look up to the ceiling thoughtfully then squeezed his eyes tightly only to flip the card over and run a frustrated hand through his brown curls. Tony grunted as he pushed through the door into the kid’s room. Peter looked at his mentor quizzically 

“Oh…hey Mr. Stark…can I help you with something?” He asked leaving the cue cards on his desk.

Tony smirked at the kid and leaned his shoulder on the doorway. “What’re you doing in here when everyone’s out playing games together kid?” He asked crossing his arms nodding his head towards the living room where you could hear the group shouting and laughing. 

“Oh, sorry” Peter looked to his feet than back up to his mentor he grinned sheepishly “I didn’t think you’d notice if I left” He muttered shrugging his shoulders.

“To be honest I didn’t until I left myself” Tony said fully stepping into Peter’s room and walking to the desk where the multi-colored paper lay. He picked up a card to read the contents. 

“I didn’t mean to sneak away, it’s just I-I have a test first thing Monday morning and I felt I needed to prepare more.”

“Well that’s fine Peter why don’t you let me give you a hand.” Tony offered watching the teens cheeks flush a slight pink. Peter quite liked the thought of his mentor giving him a hand studying, if only it wasn’t Tony Stark. The genius would probably ridicule him for not knowing the answer and the thought made his stomach turn. 

“Well I kinda like to study by myself..b-but gosh thanks for offering Mr. Stark” Peter said the corner of his mouth turning up and he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Don’t be silly Peter” Tony smirked setting the corner of his rump on his desk stacking the pile of papers into a pile and scooping them up flipping through. The questions look to be asking about biology, technology and other science stuffs. 

Peter sighed defeated he shoved his hands into his sweater pockets and rolled in his lips nodding at him. 

“Perfect!” Tony exclaimed enthusiastically. “Ahem… Explain the benefits of technology and how it has benefited you.” Tony stated raising a curious brow at Peter whom sputtered awkwardly. 

“w-well..” Peter rocked on his feet “It has truly benefited me in such a way that I can swing from buildings with my webs and I umm I have a suit made for me by my mentor which helps me utilize all my skills oh! And I um toast is pretty cool too. It’s like bread but hot…toasters are great.” 

Tony stared blankly at the kid then back to the cue card, “Kid I’m actually trying to help you here.” 

“Yes I know sorry Mr. Stark I…I was just joking.” Peter bit his bottom lip grinning. 

“C’mon I could be beating Steve so hard right now at Mario cart I could make him cry but I want to help you.”

“okay, okay” Peter smirked.

“You really think you’re funny kid? I have something that will really make you laugh.” Tony grinned lecherously as an idea came to him. “Hold on, I have an idea.”
