3rd Person P.O.V.
"Mister Stark!" Peter exclaimed, stepping into the kitchen. It was 6:45 am, a Thursday. Peter usually ate breakfast alone in the morning, or occasionally with Steve, who was an early bird. Tony was rarely ever in the kitchen so early in the morning.
This situation presented an opportunity for Peter. You see, usually he would get picked up after school, usually by Happy. But today, he was going to ask if he could walk instead. He had been planning on just texting it to the groupchat, but this was so much better.
"It's a really nice day outside! Y'know, I think it might be nice to walk home from school today... if that's okay." Peter took a bite of his cereal, watching Tony with a hopeful eye. He was searching through the fridge, presumably for something to eat.
The billionaire, still tired and half awake, waved his hand dismissively. "Yeah, sure, whatever. Text me when you leave school." He paused for a moment, frowning. "Are we out of eggs?"
"Dunno, see ya later!" Peter put his bowl in the sink, grabbing his stuff and running down the hall to get in the car. Happy watched him, huffing softly.
"Hey Happy! You don't need to pick me up after school today, I'm going to walk home!" Peter chirped. Happy just grumbled something under his breath. He wasn't much of a morning person. They drove to Peter's school, Happy dropped him off, and the bell rang. Peter quickly ran into the school, getting to class on time.

When the final bell rang, Peter was one of the first people out of class. He was excited, he had been looking forward to this all day. Truth is, Peter wasn't planning on walking home. He was actually getting a ride from his boyfriend- a boyfriend that the Avengers had no idea existed.
"Hey Harls!" Peter greeted cheerfully. Harley went to a different school, but he was always willing to make the trip over to Midtown if it meant he could see his boyfriend.
"Hey darlin'," Harley smiled, watching Peter approach him. Peter and Harley were, at first glance, total opposites. Harley was a "bad boy"- leather jackets, dark shades, slicked hair, and, of course, his motorcycle. Peter, on the other hand, was the living version of a cinnamon roll.
Peter grinned at Harley, happily climbing into his embrace. They kissed, just a quick peck.
"I missed youuuu," Peter sang, burying his face in Harley's chest. The blond smelled like cigarettes and motor oil, and Peter loved it. Harley chuckled, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend. Despite his "bad boy" appearance, he was a total softie. Especially when it came to Peter.
"I missed you too. How was school today?" Harley asked. Peter shrugged, resting his chin on Harley's chest and looking straight up at the blond.
"Boring," he stated simply. Harley sighed, cupping Peter's face.
"Again? Darlin', you need to get into harder classes. You're way too smart to waste your time in classes that bore you." They continued talking for a little bit, Peter's phone dinging but him ignoring it.

Meanwhile, the Avengers were all gathering up their things for a mission. Peter still wasn't home yet, so they were planning on picking him up on the way there.
"Where is he?" Cap yelled, adjusting his shield.
"Still at school, I hope. He hasn't texted me to say he left yet," Tony replied, ushering everyone into the limo. Happy drove quickly, taking them all to Peter's school. The mission wasn't urgent, but they didn't want Peter to leave the school before they got there.
"Where is the man of spiders?" Thor questioned, everyone looking around.
"Woah, is that him?" Clint exclaimed, pointing at two people sitting on a motorcycle. The Avengers all peered out the windows, squinting at the pair. One of them was definitely Peter, sitting backwards on the front of the motorcycle. The other guy, however, nobody recognized.
"Who is that?" Tony wondered, frowning. The mystery boy leaned in to kiss Peter, and they started making out on the motorcycle.
"Uhhh..." Clint looked back at the rest of the people in the limo, who looked just as surprised as he was.
"Nope. No. No. Happy, drive up to them," Tony ordered. Happy did as told, pulling up to the curb near where Peter was.

Peter heard a car door from behind him, pulling away from Harley with a gasp. He had been so caught up in what they were doing that he had completely tuned out the rest of the world.
"Oh no..." He looked back to see Tony marching toward him, looking upset. Peter turned back towards Harley, closing his eyes and bracing himself. "Fuck..."
Harley, on the other hand, was shocked that 1, Tony Stark was at this school, and 2, Tony Stark was marching towards him and Peter.
"Holy shit, it's Tony Stark!" Harley whisper shouted, finally noticing Peter's grimace. "Darlin'? What's wrong?"
"PETER BENJAMIN PARKER!" Tony shouted, stopping next to Harley's motorcycle. The blond was stunned by this, looking between Peter and Tony with wide eyes. "YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS!"
"Mister Stark, please-"
"Get off the motorcycle, Peter. Now." The brunette did as told, hopping down to the sidewalk. "Who is this? What are you doing with him?"
"That's Harley, but please, Mister Stark-"
"Mhm. Alright, Harley, you stay away from my kid, you hear me?" Tony pointed accusingly at the blond, who was still in shock.
"He didn't do anything wrong!" Peter exclaimed. "It's my fault, I lied and didn't tell you I had a boyfriend, but I was nervous and-" Tony shushed Peter's rambling, squinting at Harley.
"He's your boyfriend?" Peter nodded. "I don't know, Pete... he looks like bad news. I don't mind you having a boyfriend, but-"
"Mister Stark." It was Peter's turn to interrupt. "Just because he looks a certain way doesn't mean he's a bad person. Harley is one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and he's never done anything to make me think any different." Harley seemed to snap out of his trance, holding out his hand and putting on his most charming smile.
"Nice to meet you, sir," he greeted, southern accent shining through. Tony took his hand, shaking it hesitantly.
"Tell me, Harley, why should I trust you with Peter?"
"Well, I really care about him. He's kind, and funny, and very smart. He's a really good person, and I love him." Harley looked at Peter when he said that last part, watching the brunette light up with excitement.
"You love me?" He wondered, grinning. Harley nodded.
"I do."
"I love you too!" Peter exclaimed, running into Harley's arms and hugging him. The blond chuckled, hugging Peter back lovingly.
"You make him happy," Tony noted, nodding. "Alright. I'll tell you what. You two can continue to see each other, but I want Harley to come over and have dinner sometime." Peter's grin widened, jumping from Harley's arms to hug Tony.
"Thank you, Mister Stark."
"Sure thing, kiddo. But please, no more secrets," he sighed. Peter giggled, nodding. "And Harley?"
"Yes?"
"Don't you ever hurt him. You hear me?" Tony's voice lowered, becoming more threatening. Harley gulped, nodding.
"Good. Now, Peter, we have to go." Tony and Peter left, Peter waving back at Harley with a smile. The blond waved back, still processing everything that had just gone down.
Well, that was one way to meet his boyfriend's family, he supposed.
