In which Tony is a champ
"Mr. Stark?" Peter finally spoke after about five minutes of standing in the doorway to lab.
"Yeah, what do you need?" Tony asked turning off his welding torch.
"Um... Can you take me shopping...?" Peter asked slowly.
"Pepp's out at the store, do just want me to call her and have her get it?" Tony asked as pulled off his welding visor.
"No, I wanted to get a dress," The kid shrugged. Tony stopped his coffee mug halfway to his face. This was sudden but completely unexpected. Tony sighed and set his mug down.
"First off, I am really touched that you trusted me enough to come to with that," Tony was deeply honored that his kid trusted him enough to ask that, "And second If this is something you feel like you want to explore-"
"What? Oh, sorry no. Not for me. I wanted to get MJ a dress," Peter laughed, "Also you handled that really well. Good job!"
"Oh, well yeah sure we can go get MJ a dress-" Wait a second... buying dresses for girls was the kind of thing that boyfriends did... Where they dating? "Wait... Are you and MJ dating?"
Peter turned a little red.
"Yeah," His voice went up an octave.
"How long?!" Tony was really excited for his son. Plus he had really thought the two of them would make a great couple.
"Um... since like two days ago..." Peter shifted his feet nervously, "I was going to tell you as soon as I got home from school the day it happened, but you were super busy, and then you kept being busy-"
"Kid! You don't have to justify yourself!" Tony smiled, "I never told my day about my girlfriends."
"Well I think you had good reason not to..." Peter fidgeted.
"True," Tony agreed and wrapped his arm over his kid's shoulder, "But it's okay that you didn't tell me. Now let's go get that dress."
