(I'm gonna be honest, this took me days to write because I'm a ✨procrastinator✨ lol.)

Anyway, on with the story.

The day Ned met Peter was the first day of third grade, it was raining all throughout the day. And the little boy saw the curly brown haired boy sitting on his own, building some sort of structure with building blocks and keeping to himself. He decided to go play with him, he walked around the book shelf and sat down. The other boy looked towards him and smiled, "Hi I'm Peter! Wanna help me build a skyscraper?"

Ned nodded eagerly, "Yeah! I'm Ned by the way." The two boys continued building their contraption, and soon the day was over and all the kids were rushing to their parents. Spouting off every ramble from their days, although before Ned was leaving with his mom, Peter called out to him running up to him with a woman following close behind him. "Ned! I wanted to ask if you wanted to hangout at my house this weekend. But I forgot, oh and this is my Aunt May."

Aunt May smiled at him, "Hi Ned, and if it is alright with your mom, you are very welcome to come over and play with Peter." Ned looked towards his mom with hopeful optimism, she smiled and told May that'd be good. Exchanging their information, and soon setting up a play date for that weekend. A few weeks passed, Peter and Ned continued to hang out at each other's houses then having sleepovers.

One of their sleepovers was set up for this weekend, and both boys were excited. Ned had showed up at four o'clock and Peter was bouncing off the walls with excitement. May was going to make dinner, but with her track record she decided to order some pizza. Peter and Ned ran to Peter's room to build a Lego set, Peter's Uncle Ben had also just arrived home as well.

Ned and Peter continued having fun and enjoying their Lego set. While they did so, someone knocked on Peter's door, Peter told whoever it was to come in, and the door opened revealing two older boys. Peter beamed, "Hi Andy! Hi Tobey!" He greeted. Ned was very confused, who were they and how did they know Peter?

"Hey bud, wanna introduce us to your friend?" The taller of the two questioned.

"Oh, this is my friend Ned! Ned, these are my big brothers Tobey and Andrew." Peter introduced.

"Nice to meet you Ned, Peter talks about you all the time." Andrew said, dragging the all on purpose.

Ned turned to his friend, "I didn't know you had siblings!" He shouted.

Tobey and Andrew begin to laugh, "Yeah, he always fails to mention that." Tobey chimes in while Peter's face turns beet red.

"How old are you guys?" Ned asked.

"I'm thirteen and Tobey is fifteen."

"So you're five years older than Peter, and you're seven years older, but you're only three years apart?" Ned concluded.

Tobey nodded his head, "You're pretty smart Ned. You and Peter are going to be best friends." The younger kids smiled at each other, and made a pact to stay together forever. It was the two of them against the world.

Peter Parker was a mystery to MJ, he was the top of their class, friendly when you got to know him, but he mostly kept to himself. She'd been trying to figure him out for years now, though she did pick up secondhand information. He had a best friend, Ned Leeds, he was born in Queens, he lived with his aunt and uncle.

As his parents died some time ago, and that only two years ago his uncle died in a robbery gone wrong. She felt bad for him, but after a while she warmed up to those two. They became friends through their decathlon team, and eventually began hanging out together outside of school.

She and Peter needed to work on a project, so they decided to meet up at the library. They spent four hours working on their assignment, when Peter stepped away to take a call, it was rude to eavesdrop so MJ zoned out into a book she found. When Peter came back he started packing his things away, MJ looked at him confusedly, he rattled off an apology.

"I'm sorry MJ, my brother called and said he's picking me up." Peter said, putting his books in his bag. "Brother? He has a brother?" She pondered. She told him it was okay, and offered to wait with him until his brother came to get him. So the two teens walked to the front of the library and waited on the step.

Then a car pulled up, the window rolled down, it was an older man, the same chestnut brown hair but blue eyes instead of brown like Peter, and smiled. "Hey Peter, hope in! Oh does your friend need a ride?" He asked.

Peter looked towards MJ, "Do you need a ride?"

MJ didn't know, "I don't want to inconvenience you guys." She replied.

"Oh trust me, you're not. I don't like leaving any of Peter's friends by themselves." And there's the Parker sincerity that radiates off of Peter, guess he inherited it from brother. MJ got into the car and gave the man her address, and was soon dropped off by the siblings.

"Bye Peter, it was nice meeting you Tobey." She said, Tobey returned the sentiment and said he didn't mind dropping her off any time.

Peter smiled, "See you later MJ." And she watched as they left and walked into her house. The next day she met Peter and Ned in the cafeteria, sitting down at the table.

"Your brother was nice enough to keep offering to drop me off." MJ said.

Ned looked up at her, "Oh was it Andy or Tobey?"

MJ looked at Peter, confused, the other teen also met her gaze. "You have two older brothers?" She asked.

Peter facepalmed, "Oh right, I forgot to mention that. Yeah Andrew is five years older than me."

"You're a very forgetful person, man." Ned said, shaking his head playfully.

Peter sighed, "Dude, I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast today." Ned and MJ laughed and changed the topic.

Peter's phone rang out, as he was working on new suit ideas, he grabbed it to answer. It was a FaceTime incoming call from Harley, he clicked the green button and greeted his southern friend with a chipper hello. Harley smiled and started talking, "Hey Pete, what are you doing?" Peter jotted down his last bit of notes and looked back at his phone.

"Nothing much, what's up with you? Are you still planning on flying up here? Y'know Mr. Stark isn't going to stop hounding you."

Harley chuckled at that, "Yeah, I've got a flight in two weeks."

Peter got up and walked out of his room to the kitchen, "Sweet! I'm excited, I'll hold up a sign for you at the gate."

"And I'll bring my banjo and cowboy hat, blastin' nine to five by the queen Dolly Parton." Harley replied, strengthening his accent.

"Oh my god no." Peter said while laughing, he continued making his leftovers, when he heard the door to the apartment open. Peter was confused, May wasn't supposed to be home until later in the evening.

"Is that May? Tell her I said hi!" He heard Peter talking with someone on the other end.

"No, that would be my brother Andy. He's trying to steal my f- Andy get your own stuff! This is mine!" Harley laughed, sibling's trying to take each other's stuff was normal, but he knew when it came to Peter and his food? His extremely petty side comes out and he'll slowly wait to plot his revenge.

"But there's no leftover lasagna! You took the last bit!" He heard Andy shout.

"Wait a second? You have an older brother? Why am I just hearing about this now?" Harley questioned.

"I swear to- dude stop! I'm gonna call Tobey if you don't stop trying to take my food."

"Call him! He'll laugh in your face." Harley could hear Andy's smirk.

"Andrew, I'm not joking! I will call Tobey, then May. You already know May will get on you for messing with me." Peter threatened.

"Your friend is hearing you say mean things to me." Andrew said, ignoring his brother's threats.

Harley shook his head, "Yeah, don't put me in the middle." The squabble ended and Peter trudged back to his room, sitting down at his desk. Sighing as he set his phone up so Harley could see him.

He apologized, "Sorry about that, Andy can be something else."

Harley understood, "You're good, Abby and I get into stupid spats everyday. Quick question before I get off here, who's Tobey?"

"My oldest brother. He lives on the other side of Brooklyn. It's him, then Andrew, then me." Peter explained.

"So what you're tellin' me, is that you're the baby of the family?" Harley said, smirking.

Peter sighed, "Pretty much yeah, anyway I'm gonna let you get off, I gotta finish some stuff and then head to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you later Peter." And the two ended the call, Harley maybe thought he would meet Tobey and Andrew once he got to New York.

Peter had joined Tony in the lab, working on some prototype of a Stark Industries product Tony came up with. Peter loved working with the older man, neither of them talked about their family lives. That was until Tobey and Andrew came over to drop off Peter's lunch, Peter walked down to the lobby to grab it. Tony, coming along with him, they got there and Peter introduced the two to each other.

"Mr. Stark, these are my brothers Tobey and Andrew. Tobey, Andrew, this is Mr. Stark, my boss." Peter said.

"Oh I already knew you had older brothers. I have to do background checks on future employees." Tony stated.

"Are you serious?" Tobey shook his head lightly while Andrew started chucking to himself.

Tony also chuckled, of course Peter didn't know that. "Background checks are mandatory, kid." Peter looked beet red, took his lunch and turned to walk away. Tony glanced at older siblings and the three began laughing, talking for a few before going their separate ways. Tony made a mental note to tease Peter to kingdom come.
