daddy cool
Tony was just finishing his new project and looked at himself to realise he was completely covered in oil and dust, he felt all gross and was on his way for a shower when Friday interrupted his thoughts "sir, master Peter is home" Tony smiled and went up stairs to see his young son. Despite him not biologically being Tony's, multiple people( well more like hundreds of people) thought he was his son. It could be because of his curly dark hair or his bright brown eyes, or even his lack of height: The only thing that made people question it was because he was overall kind, too kind sometimes. One time he gave all his lunch to a bunch of rats he saw outside of school, let's say neither his dads or his blood sugars where happy with him. Another thing that made peter different (which was Tony's favorite) was that peter had adorable freckles covering his face, when he was seven he once tried scrubbing them off when boys in his class had made fun of him for them , Tony had a lot to complain at the school for , the lack of knowledge for diabetes, letting his son pass out regularly when not understanding why he needs to eat something, giving him detentions when he eats something in class, but this?It did end up with Tony teaching his son to love himself just the way he is.
Tony finally got to the floor Peter was on, he saw his son sitting by the counter doing his homework, Tony walked over and sat by him and asked "alright Petey pie ?" Peter huffed at the Nickname and gave a nervous face "what's wrong?" Tony asked going close to his son, his overprotective side coming in.
"Yeah d-dad , um I was, well Ned was wondering , well that doesn't really matter , anyway well i just wanted to if I could maybe possibly... sleep round his tonight ?" For most family's this would be normal to ask to go to sleepovers but due to peters diabetes being haywire Tong was unsure "Peter I really don't think this is a good idea , I mean your levels have been all over the place ! What if you don't measure out the right amount of carbs and you don't have the right equipment to solve it ? What if-" tony started panicking
"Dad I promise I'll bring my equipment and I'll have loads of snack and I'll even take scales! Plus ill be fine okay ? Please just this one day ?" He begged, his puppy eyes starting to show. Tong looked at his son and thought what his husband would say."don't know....let me think about it"tony says kissing his sounds pouting head and going off to have a shower, whilst in the shower he contemplated in what will be the best option. He's read a lot of different articles of being a parent of a diabetic kid and they all says 'kid firs, diabetes second" that gave Tony something to think about "but what if i'm thinking about my kid first by worring about his diabetes SECOND?" he reasoned with himself. He came to a conclusion. Tony walked into peters room where he was reading a book and said "Fine! Go" he said making peters eye light up "BUT, you will text me every single time you check your blood pressure. Am I understood?" Tony asked firmly, surprisingly he realised was the relaxed parent. He thinks that's why peter asked him. Because if it was steve, Peter knew he would have a hard time trying to persuade him. " Of course i will , THANK YOU DAD!" The Peter said whilst hugging tony tight . Tony accepted the hug, wishing he would do this more often. That's the thing with teenage boys , they like to stay more distant to their dads. And hugging certainly won't mean that. And that was hard for steve and Tony to understand and sometimes wishing their son would stay small forever.
Peter was so happy that his dad allowed him, he knew that his pops wouldn't be the happiest but he didn't think about him ! Instead he ran to his room and packed his clothes ready for a day away from his parents. Realising that he excitement could've raised his levels he checks his phone just for a "136"to appear. YES! He thought to himself , this is going to be a good day . He then ran downstairs and hugged his dad goodbye and asked him to tell pops a bit later . And He was of to Neds.
"Hey hunny bun" said steve entering the door and hugging his husband, Tony looks up and gives steve a peck on the lips "has peter gone to sleep? I know it's a bit late but-"
"Yeah um steve I need to tell you something...."
"What hon?" He says backing away from their tight enclosure "He's at a sleepover"
"Wait....what?" He says stepping far away fear growing in his eyes
"It's not that big of a deal" Tony says stepping away "not a- you know his sugar levels have been all over the place and he-" asked steve
"Yes , but I've also remembered that he's had diabetes for ten years of his life and knows how to control it" explained Tony he then goes on to say "he's also a teenagers who wants to be able to go places without his two old folks tagging along" steve looks him in the eyes and says "yeah....I guess you're right" said steve
"and you know....kids first diabetes second yada yada" Tony says . Steve then hugs his husband closer to him and then gets an idea
" well since peters not here, I guess we can do whatever we want wherever we want" says steve Loosening his husbands tie making tony smirk and peck him against the lips "oh love of course you'd say that"
"what's that supposed to mean?"
"oh nothing"
"no go on"
"no, i don't think i will"
