Today is the day! Tony & Pepper are getting married, Peter is beyond excited. Tony has played a very vital role in his life he became a father figure when when he met him back in 2016, they never knew how much of an impact both of them made on each other.

Back then when Tony took the troubled teen under his wing, he never thought in a million years that the same kid would be getting ready to be with him as he married the love of his life. Peter and May are the other most important people in his life.

And the fact that they're coming on this journey with him, fascinates him. He loves Peter as if he was his own son, May has become his family too, they've been somewhat co-parenting him for as long as they can remember.

It's to the point Tony gets emails about Peter's progress in school, he goes to pretty much every PTA meeting (of course when he's not working out of the country) Peter practically tells him everything.

But the fact Tony has the kid with him right now, preparing him for his first ever wedding is so sentimental to the two of them. He finds it adorable that Peter can't tie a tie, he's standing in the doorway watching the kid try yet failing miserably.

"Do you need any help there kiddo?" He asked.

Peter turned and became red in the face nodding shyly, "P- please." He stuttered out. Tony chuckled and walked towards him and began fixing the tie.

"So... are you excited?" Peter asked, Tony was nervous yet very excited because in only just a few hours he was marrying the woman of his dreams. Pepper wasn't a woman who only cared about Tony's wealth, she found that at first under his cold exterior that he really did have a heart.

"Yeah, I am. I'm glad you're here." He replied.

Peter smiled, "Really? I never thought you'd invite me to your wedding." He admitted.

Tony looked Peter in the eyes, "Yes really, I'm gonna let you in on something. You've been a big part of my life even if you didn't know yet, and I know I've made an impact on you too, and I want to let you know that I think of you as my kid."

"Wow, I honestly don't know how to respond to that, well since we're confessing things, I think of you as a father figure. When my uncle died I thought eventually I was gonna be alone forever, that May was gonna leave me, and my friends until I was truly alone and then I met you." Peter explained with a smile on his face.

"Well I'm glad we think of each other that way, anyway we better hurry we're on a tight schedule." Tony said while adjusting Peter's tie.

Peter was flustered, "Thanks dad, oh I uh sorry, I didn't mean- well I did but it sort of slipped out."

"Pete, it's okay, don't worry you can call me dad if you want to. I don't mind." Tony chuckled.

"Alright, c'mon we gotta go." Both of them smiled and walked out of the room Peter was staying in and met up with the rest of Tony's friends.

Meanwhile with MJ she just got into her dress it was a simple yet elegant and flattering navy blue dress, blue is her favorite color so she was happy with the way it looked. But there was a problem MJ needed help with her makeup, luckily May was on it and came to her rescue.

She grabbed her makeup bag and started fixing MJ up. She was also making conversation too. "I'm glad you're here, I bet Peter will start drooling as soon as he sees you." May said.

"What makes you say that?" MJ asked.

"Because he likes you, he talks about you nonstop, and I see the way he looks at you. Trust me sweets, he likes you." (May just spilled the tea y'all!)

Does he actually like me? I mean May wouldn't lie to me, but why hasn't he told me anything? What if I tell him and he rejects me making me look like a fool. MJ thought.

Ugh... I wish I could read his mind then I'd know for sure. (MJ is not sipping the tea!)

"Yeah, but we're just friends May, nothing more nothing less." MJ replied.

May nodded, even though she didn't believe a word MJ said, she knew Peter better than he knew himself. And she could tell he was so in love with her. "And done, you look beautiful MJ, we better get going we don't wanna be late."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both parties arrived at the church, each guest walking into the chapel, picking and choosing to sit on either the groom side or bride side. MJ walking in couldn't see Peter, but May grabbed her hand and took her to sit by Peter since she spotted him amongst everyone.

They sat down next to Peter with May on the aisle, Peter got one look at MJ and it was all over from there. He thought she looked absolutely stunning, the color blue looked great on her.

Her dress looked like the starry midnight sky, so he leaned over to her and whispered in her ear. "You look beautiful."

That made her blush and smile so she leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, you look handsome." They sat there for a good twenty minutes before the wedding actually started.

Once Tony saw Pepper he started to tear up, both Peter and MJ thought she looked amazing in her dress. The wedding itself was so simple and remarkably exquisite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon the wedding ended, and the reception came Pepper and Tony were mingling with the other guests while a lot of them were on the dance floor, Happy had actually managed to whisk May away to dance.

Peter and MJ sat next to each other at a table watching everything going on and talking. Until a slow song came on, the guests partnered up and started dancing.

Peter got the sudden courage and confidence to ask MJ to dance so that's what he did, he got up from his chair and walked around to MJ standing in front of her holding his hand out.

"Care to dance MJ?" He asked.

MJ shook her head, "I don't know how." She said.

"Well neither do I, guess we can learn together." Peter smiled, he really hoped she would agree.

"Alright fine, but if my short self steps on your feet I apologize beforehand." She laughed.

MJ grabbed Peter's hand and he led them to the ballroom floor positioning his hands on her waist and MJ positioning her arms on Peter's shoulders. Swaying to the music, letting everything fade.

They gazed into each other's eyes and smiled, "Y'know I didn't think you'd come as my plus one." Peter said.

"And why would that be Mr. Parker?" MJ asked.

"I don't know I thought you'd have plans with Liz and Betty or something."

MJ giggled, "Yeah Liz and Betty are doing their own thing, besides I wanted to hangout with you."

"You did?"

"Of course I did Peter, you're my best friend, and I wanted to see you experience your first wedding."

Peter wore a small smile. Yeah just friends, I want us to be more. But it's obvious she doesn't like me. Why do I bother? She's just going to reject me.

"You okay?" MJ asked.

"Yeah, sorry I was just thinking." As they continued talking Peter felt a tap on his shoulder, they turned and it was Tony. Pepper stood next to him as well.

"Mind if I cut in Pete?" Tony asked, Peter shook his head.

"Mind if I take Peter away MJ?" Pepper asked.

MJ nodded and Tony took Peter's place dancing with MJ but he had a bigger agenda. Peter and Pepper walked away from them, "Alright, I'm gonna cut to the chase. Peter likes you a lot and I know you like him. Don't try and pull the "we're just friends" act, it just isn't cutting it anymore." Tony said.

"So the real question is; when are you going to tell him how you feel because I felt that best friend stab from across the room, what's holding you back?" He asked.

"I don't know, I just don't want to get rejected I guess, he's a really sweet guy but I don't want him to tell me he doesn't feel the same." MJ explained.

"Yeah, except the more avoiding you both do the more hurt you'll be."

Tony was right, if MJ wanted to tell Peter how she truly felt she needed to do it now or else she and Peter would both end up being hurt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Tony and MJ were dancing so were Peter and Pepper, Pepper and Tony had their plan and it was set in motion. They just hoped it'd work. "Have you told MJ how you feel yet?" Pepper asked.

Peter shook his head, "No, n- not yet, I guess I'm a little afraid she'll just want to be friends my last crush Liz didn't like me that way, she wanted to stay friends which I was okay with, but it still hurt."

"Peter I can guarantee MJ likes you, because the way you two are around each other isn't just being friends, if you don't tell her you're going to regret it later." Pepper said.

"Yeah, I know you're right." Peter agreed with her.

"Well why are you still dancing with me? Go get your dream girl." Peter smiled and they stopped dancing, walking back towards Tony and MJ.

"Hey, mind if I borrow MJ back dad?" Peter asked.

Tony nodded and winked at him before walking back to his wife. Peter grabbed MJ's hand and whisked her away to somewhere they could have a private conversation.

"There's something I need to tell you." They said in unison.

Peter rubbed the back of his neck, "L- ladies first." He stuttered out.

"Well I-"

"Well I'm having a lot of fun tonight, definitely one of the best weddings I've been to." She said, Mj knew she was backing out but she couldn't tell him, not right now.

Peter smiled, "I'm glad, I'm having a lot of fun with you too, was that all you wanted to tell me?" He asked.

"Yeah, that was it." Peter nodded and walked back into the ballroom sitting down at their table, as they've had enough dancing. (I know I pulled a cliffhanger on you guys, you'll thank me later.)
