“Don't forget about tomorrow guys. Dress up as somebody who inspires or motivates you. I expect to see some icons walking around these halls tomorrow.”
With the end of Mr Harrington’s speech, the bell rings indicating the day is finally over and all the students funnel out of the door of the classroom leaving Ned, MJ and Peter to follow along behind - as always. After heading to all three of the rather close lockers, they head over to the doors to leave.
“See you tomorrow! My mum's here to get me.”
“Later Ned.” After Ned walks off to his mum's car, it's just MJ and Peter for a moment before MJ starts walking off home.
“Later loser.”
“Later MJ.”
Why was Peter still waiting at the doors of the school? He was waiting for Happy to take him to the Tower. Tony didn't want him to be home alone when May was away with her work. The second Peter sees Happy pull up, he is right in the car. The way back went as expected - Peter rambling about things to Happy whilst working on some homework as Happy drove them to the tower.
Once at the Tower, Peter hopped out of the car, thanking Happy as he practically sprinted to the lifts - all for those extra few moments with Tony. Nothing perked him up quite like Lab Time With Tony™. Tinkering on a project here. Blueprints there. Tools and random paper literally everywhere.
After a fair few hours of work, they decided to order some food in. If Peter's stomach growled any louder, it would be mistaken for a whale call. It was eventually decided that they would order in some Thai. By some, the writer means they ordered at least half of the menu - they were starving.
“Oh! Mr Stark. I've been meaning to ask you something and I have just remembered.”
“Shoot Underoos.”
“Well, I'm supposed to go to school dressed like somebody who inspires me. I am wanting to go as you tomorrow, would you mind if I could borrow -”
“No! No Iron Man suits. I thought that it would be common sense. Nothing dangerous is to be taken to school.” At this, Peter felt guilty for trying to ask anything - even if it wasn't going to be a suit. He could feel the tears want to surface but thankfully, he could hold them back.
“I'm sorry Mr Stark. I just wanted to see if it would be ok if I borrowed a pair of your sunglasses and a tie. It's ok though, you don't have to. I could just head back to my apartment tonight or tomorrow and see if I can find anything. I never meant to upset you - I would never ask to take a suit unless I'm working on it.” Peter sniffles, holding back a few tears as he never meant to make Tony snap at him like that. Pete starts to leave the lab.
“Oh Peter. I-” Tony says as he drags Peter into a hug. He never meant to upset Peter. He was so touched that he wanted to go as him for his ‘inspiring people’ day.
“Are you ok Mr Stark? Are you crying? I'm sorry, I never meant to make you cry.” Peter makes sure he is giving the warmest, tightest, kindest hug to his mentor/father to comfort him.
“It's ok Pete. It's not your fault. Yes, you can borrow any tie and sunglasses from me. I can even get you a nice suit tailored if you want. You can show up tomorrow looking smart and show up everyone there.”
“Oh gosh Mr Stark, just the tie and glasses will be plenty. No need to worry about the suit.”
“Fine then. Just the tie and glasses. On two conditions kiddo.”
“Sure thing.”
“One, you let me get you a smart suit over the weekend.”
“But Mr -”
“No buts Underoos.”
“Finnee. One smart suit but just promise that it will be a simple, smart looking suit.”
“Done. The second condition is that we go and eat now. I don't think I can bear hearing you go hungry for much longer. FRIDAY sent me a message that the Thai arrived about 2 minutes ago.”
“Happily.”
With that, Peter and Tony were racing down the halls to try and be the first to the food that was brought up in the lift - courtesy of FRIDAY. Obviously Peter would win but if Tony was faster, he would let Peter win any day just to see him smile.
