In the Lab
Peter walks into the tower, sluggishly. He was utterly exhausted after probably the longest school day known to man. With the homework, and the essays, and the tests, He was so done. He's never looked forward to his bed more than he did now. Unfortunately, his nap plans were thrown out the window when a certain familiar robot voice spoke up.
"Hello Peter, Boss is in the Lab currently waiting for you. I shall let him know you arrived."
Peter groans as he turns away from the direction of his room and turns towards the path to the lab
"Thanks Fri," He mumbles, dejectedly.
Peter enters the Lab and finds Tony currently working on a new suit for Peter. He looks up at the sound of footsteps and smiles.
"Hey kiddo. How was school?"
Peter simply shrugs as he sits down in his usual chair by his desk.
"It was alright.. I have a lot of homework to get done before tomorrow," he says, as he pulls out his work stack out of his backpack.
Tony watches him begin to apprehensively scribble on his homework papers. His concern spiking as he notices the boy's yawns and tired eyes.
"You sure, bub? You just finished school, Don't you want a break? Maybe take a nap? have a snack?"
Tony watches as he genuinely considers Tony's offers but eventually shakes his head, almost like he was snapping himself out of it.
"No I'm okay. Thanks Mr. Stark"
Tony nods and continues his work, but lets his eyes wander back to the tired kid as he continues his very large amount of homework.
No less than ten minutes later, and Tony has has it. He was just about to order Peter to go home when he notices his eyes were slowly drooping closed. He decides to bite his tongue and see how it plays out. Peter rubs his tired eyes and yawns cutely. Tony watches in amusement as Peter eventually gives up and lays his head on his arms and closes his eyes. Tony waits a couple minutes as Peter's breathing evens out before walking up to him. He gently tucks a loose curl that fell in front of Peter's face, behind his ear.
"Alright Kid, Let's get you to your actual bed."
Tony lifts Peter up in his arms and Peter's head falls into the crook of Tony's neck. Tony laughs at the cuteness of the the sleeping teenager.
"You're lucky you're adorable or else I would NOT be carrying a 15 year old kid to bed." He jokes as he and Peter leave the lab.
Once they arrive in Peter's room, Tony gently lays Peter down on his bed and Peter whines at the sudden loss of contact.
"Shh I know, I know" Tony mindlessly whispers as he takes off Peter's shoes.
He then tucks Peter under the covers. He bends down beside the bedside and smiles at the sound of the kid's soft snores, He softly brushes the boy's hair off his forehead and kisses it.
"Sleep well, Roos," He whispers before standing up and walking out to the doorway. He glances back at the sleeping boy once more before leaving and closing the door.
