Crazy Super-Gay Peter Parker One-shots

Shattered Trust

So I've written a full, completely original book (which is being edited right now, whoop!) but I can't explain how nervous I feel, constantly. I haven't even submitted it to any agents and publishers yet, but it's like I'm constantly already going through the rejection process... heh....

Anyway, this is a request by @tessalucy and I'm super sorry for how long it's taken to write and post this!

Ships: Spooper (I have person decided that this is the official ship name for PeterxCooper Barton, but feel free to tell me the real one. Gods, I have the humour of a ten year old boy...), IronStrange

Warnings: Broken promises, arguing, bullying, minor physical violence, mentions of imposter-syndrome symptoms, probably swearing

Peter Stark-Strange stared tearfully at Flash, who's finger was jabbing into his chest with pain inducing emphasis. Peter was backed against his locker in the empty hallway - most other students having left for the day.

The few who remained were in after school clubs, and likely wouldn't help him, even if they found the bully and victim. He was, after all, just Peter Parker to them. The kid with a dead family, very few friends, and only his poor aunt left.

Of course, this wasn't exactly the case. He'd secretly been adopted by his new fathers - Stephen and Tony - when his Aunt May had married Natasha. So, he had a large happy family now, and more friends then he had ever dreamed to have.

Except, this brought upon an overwhelming feeling of being an imposter. Like he didn't deserve the life he now had. Like he was a huge fake and everyone he loves would leave him in the end.

Flash jabbed Peter's chest one last time, smirking as he gave his last snarky stream of insults. "You are just a sad, lonely, poor, loser who will never be anything to anyone, and should give away his spot at this school. I'm sure someone - ANYONE - deserves it more than you. Have fun dying alone."

With that, the bully punched Peter in the nose - not breaking it, Flash wasn't strong enough to do that, of course - but enough to cause a small nose bleed, before snickering as he walked away.

Peter wiped away the thick trickle of blood as his super healing put a quick end to the bleed. Hoping that his teary eyes and bright red nose wouldn't be noticeable to his family, Peter collected his belongings and raced out to the car Tony was waiting for him in.

He didn't want anyone to know about the bullying. Ever.

However, he wasn't as good of an actor as he had hoped. Tony noticed right away that something wasn't right with his son, but knew better than to bombard him with questions.

Instead, the billionaire grabbed out his phone, quickly texting one of the few people he knew could get it out of his teenage son. Tony Toole the long way home that day, stopping at as many places as possible to give this person time to get to the tower.

"Hey, Pete. What's u- what happened to you?" Cooper Barton, Clint's son, exclaimed as he shot from his seat on Peter's bed.

Peter looked at him in surprise, not knowing that Cooper had arrived at the tower. "Cooper? What are you doing here? Why are you in my room?"

"Can't a friend snoop through his friend's stuff while that friend is at school? Now, what happened to you?" Cooper snickered at the first sentence but became serious at the second. He was lying, of course. The only reason Cooper had caught a taxi to Stark-Strange tower was the text Tony had sent him.
