Work Text:
The internet already knew they loved Peter Parker. Not only was he an adorable and awkward teen, he was also relatable. The iGeneration see him as someone who brings hope with his endless passion and curiosity. He inspires them to try their hardest and not be afraid of being different.
Of course, that also meant that people wanted to see more of him. Peter has school, homework and most importantly his internship where he couldn’t be seen for hours on end. So, what what was the world going to do? The most obvious answer was to pester Tony Stark at conferences or anytime he was out and to also pester him on twitter and instagram.

@Official_TonyStark Give us the wholesome bean #WeDeserveHim
A bunch of other replies responded to Dr. Stark with the hashtag. Tony stared at his StarkPhone with furrowed brows. He seemed to be considering it before looking at Peter. He was in his rolly-chair spinning around in circles with Dum-E beeping occasionally.
Tony slowly lifted his phone and started to record him spinning. It went on for a couple seconds with Peter getting faster and faster and eventually flying off and hitting the wall. The stable phone suddenly became shaky with a worried voice calling out ‘Peter!’ and a faint ‘I’m okay!’ was heard along with an image of a thumbs up. A loud sigh was heard along with a mumble of ‘this is why we can’t have nice things’.

Peter was walking to school with his backpack slung around his shoulders. In his hand was a Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate while is other hand was occupied by his phone that had headphones attached going to his ears. His curls were fluffy and his outfit consisted of L.L. Bean slippers, black skinny jeans that were ripped, and a maroon colored pullover that had ‘Academic Decathlon’ in a dusty yellow that was in a circle around the middletown high logo.
As he walked into school, Peter met up with MJ, aka Michelle Jones, and Ned. He didn’t know what he thought about MJ. However, he wasn’t trying to stop his happiness with his friends.
Ned and Peter did their handshake quickly and precisely, showing just how long they’ve known and done it with each other. In the background was MJ who being as antisocial as ever had her phone out. The boys thought she was just scrolling through insta but she was videoing them.
In the video, Peter is seen approaching them. His hot chocolate in one hand and the headphones wire leading to his front pocket. He reaches out to pull out one earbud the closer he got. A ‘Hi nerd,’ is heard from the person behind the phone while he is seen doing a one handed finger gun and quickly going into the handshake. The handshake was intricate and also involved their feet. The video ends with the bells going off to indicate going to class and a groan from Peter and laugh from Ned and MJ.

oPE WHY IS HE SO PRECIOUS @MichelleJokes
~~~~
It was February break so Peter begged and pleaded with his aunt to allow him to go to the tower more frequently. She eventually gave in to him and shot the billionaire a quick text to let him know what’s up.
At the tower the following Monday, Peter went to the tower. He had on worn blue jeans, his L.L. Bean shoes, a science pun t-shirt with an unzipped black hoodie over it. He was giddie and he would not stop talking to Happy.
Happy walked him to the labs, and there Dr. Stark was in all his glory. Dr. Stark wasn’t in his normal private labs but was instead with some biochemists and other interns there to learn more about the field.
Peter quickly put on gloves and some goggles for his eyes. He cautiously made his way to Dr. Stark who was overseeing one of the leaders in a project that would help with regenerative tissue growth that would a) be easier to synthesize, b) possibly allow a smoother transition in attaching prosthetics to make the movement feel more natural, and c) have a multitude of different colored pigments for a wide range of skin colors.
As Peter walked over he overheard them talking about how the ‘skin’ look more fake than realistic. Peter also heard most of the other conversations but was attempting to block them out. He heard that some were testing to see how much bacteria occurred over blank amount of sessions or trying to figure out how to create pores and freckles. Peter peered over to see the table of where they said the skin looked unrealistic. On the table were white, peach, muted yellow, light brown, and a dark brown.
He scrunched up his nose before saying, “Why don’t you add some undertones? Different skin tones have warm, cool, or neutral undertones. This means that some people have a reddish or blue undertone for cool or for warm it’s more yellow or peach colors with neutral being a mixture of both. That means that there’s hundreds of different combinations of colors that can be created and if people wanted it exactly to their skin tone they can come in for a highly pixelated picture or create a baseline color with pigments and work off that to create it.”
The sudden and new voice caused everyone to whip around and stare at him. What he said did make sense. Tony pulled his shirt to his lip and said ‘take a picture of this table fri’. On his shirt was a tiny device that allowed for FRIDAY to hear Dr. Stark. She did as she was told and took the picture.
The group quickly wrote down what was told and started to hypothesize what could happen, the expenses, how realistic it would be, and a bunch of other stuff. Tony gave a fond smile before quickly saying ‘Well, my work here is done.’
He confidently walked to the elevators with Peter scampering after him. The other interns and scientists in the room noted how comfortable Dr. Stark was with Peter. They were happy for the man, he had been hurt by the Ex-avengers and other ‘close friends’. To see him happy was a wonderful thing.
~~~~
It was another day during the week when Dr. Stark was waiting for Peter to come by. He was walking to the lab with one of his hands scrolling through twitter. Of course, he had been searching and praying for any news of that Spider-Man.
When he got tor the labs he saw Peter slouching on one of his chairs. He had headphones in. Dr. Stark smirked and went to use this opportunity to scare the young child. Tony crept towards Peter and squeezed his shoulders quickly. However, instead of the usual response of ‘normal’ people, Peter screamed and jumped to the ceiling. And he stuck to the ceiling. Tony’s eyes widened and he screamed, “YOU’RE SPIDER-MAN?!”
After a huge discussion Dr. Stark thought back to the past months and how happy he’d been. It explained a lot about like why Peter had been able to catch things without looking or quickly catching something if it fell. However, Tony also knew that Peter was an extremely clumsy kid and did not consider that Spider-Man could be a teenager.
~~~~
Slowly but surely Peter started to talk about what had happened to him. Peter admitted that he felt guilty for the death of ex-girlfriend. That he felt that he was responsible for the attack by the MET. Peter also announced how he was remorseful against killing the Green Goblin but that it was for the greater good or else everyone else would be in too much pain. Peter was crying as he admitted this stuff to Dr. Stark.
Dr. Stark was a smart man. Very smart. Dealing with emotions? Not so much. However, Tony knew that Peter need this off his chest. That the best road to recovery was to not keep it in but to let someone, anyone, know what was or is going on. Tony bent down and gave the young spider-child a hug. A strong secure hug. Peter gripped him tightly and continued to sob.
Pepper had walked down to the lab to see if ‘her boys’ wanted to go out to a café and grab a bite to eat. With a stride of determination she quickly walked there. When Pepper opened the door and saw the two hugging and quickly snapped a pic. Later at lunch, Peter would admit to Pepper that he was spider-man and that he was grateful for everything they’ve done for him but was understanding if they didn’t want him to intern anymore.
“You dumb smart boy. We would never get rid of you peter. You mean so much to me, to Tony, to the entire facility,” Pepper said.
~~~~
Tony slowly was able to convince Peter to at the minimum train with him and Rhodey. Peter was able to get convinced after being reminded that he was an enhanced individual and would need training so he wouldn’t accidently harm anyone.
Rhodey met the kid, looked at Tony who looked far too happy than usual, back at the kid and decided he would do anything to keep Peter Parker around. They trained twice a week and Peter was able to learn more about his body like he needed to eat more and that he can easily lift a ton.
~~~~
After months of this, Tony decided that Peter was okay not being Spider-Man. That it didn’t define who he was.
Tony approached Peter one day and asked if he wanted to get a new twitter account. Not as Spider-Man, but as himself. Peter agreed.
