2:03am

Tony looks at the clock and rubs his eyes, 'guess this is enough work for today, I'll finish this later when I wake up' he thought, deciding to get some shut eye. (Tony actually wanting to sleep? Shocking!)

He was walking past the living room when he heard soft cries, curious he decided to see what it was.

He quietly walked there and saw Peter on the couch quietly crying his eyes out, Tony's heart clenched. His boy is sad and he didn't know about it.

He walked towards Peter as quietly as he could but he suddenly looked up, "Oh! M-Mr. Stark, h-hey" Peter said quickly rubbing his eyes to make the tears go away.

Tony sat beside the boy and put his arm around him, Peter looked at the floor not wanting his mentor to see him so weak. "Hey, what's the matter?"

"O-oh it's nothing, I should go. Sorry for bothering you, I-" Peter was about to get up until Tony stopped him by tightening his embrace. "Hey, no, it's alright, you didn't bother me. I was the one who came to you, now, tell me, what's wrong?"

Peter took a breath "I just miss aunt May, I had a nightmare about her yelling at me for not saving her life or doing more for her cancer treatment. I know it's not true and she was the one who chose to let go, but I just really miss her. My mind won't let me see that it's not my fault" (sorry for killing you May, I had to for plot reasons.) Peter started crying at the end and Tony pulled him close, tucking the younger boy's head under his chin. "It's ok, let it out kiddo. Im not really good with the emotions department, so the least I can do to help is listen to you and just be here for you Pete. You know I'll always be here for you and I love you" Tony placed a loving kiss on Peter's head and just held him close.

Afew minutes later Peter's cries stopped and his breathing calmed down "Pete? You still with me bud?" Peter fell asleep in Tony's arms, Tony just smiled and whispered a small "alright, good night kiddo" before falling asleep himself.

Friday definitely didn't take a picture and definitely didn't send it to Pepper and saved it in his personal files.

Thinking about doing a 5+1, what should I write about?
