An-Prom gets announced and Peter finds out two guys can't go together and he's pissed

———————————

When Peter stormed into the training rooms and slammed his backpack onto one of the seats everyone jumped. Peter struggled off his jumper and threw it at his backpack, pulling off his collared T-shirt. He pulled out his gym shorts from his bag and stormed off into the bathrooms, slamming the door shut after himself.

"It's only midday," Steve commented, Tony hummed.

"May just shot me a message, something's going on with Peter and she wants to know what." He said, putting down his phone. Peter slammed back open the bathroom door and stomped back over to his backpack, shoving his jeans into his bag, muttering darkly.

"You ok Peter?" Bucky asked, Peter sighed and looked up at Bucky briefly.

"No. I'm angry. I'm mad. I'm sad. And I need to use the punching bag before I punch someone." Peter said firmly, Bucky nodded and made way for Peter, who stood in front of the punching bag wrapping his hands. Steve had taught him how to wrap his hands and use the punching bag. Peter was strong enough, just needed the rhythm.

"Okay, why are you angry, and mad, and sad?" Natasha asked, Peter hit the bag twice as hard as normal in response.

"I got suspended," Peter said blunty, his eyes not looking away from the bag.

"Since when did Peter Parker get suspended," Clint asked, coming up behind Peter as well. Peter pressed his lips into a thin line.

"Since today," Peter said quietly. Clint rose an eyebrow.

"Peter, you've never got in trouble like this before, what did you do?" Tony asked, Peter shrugged.

"I talked back. Someone said something I didn't like, I talked back and I did a little yelling and swearing." Peter explained, Tony paled.

"You didn't hit anyone did you?" Tony asked urgently, Peter paused to star at Tony.

"No Tony, I didn't hit anyone. You really think that low of me?" Peter said, turning back to the punching bag.

"Who did you yell at?" Sam asked with a smirk, Peter huffed.

"The principal." He said, usually when peter said something like that he would be grinning.

"Jesus kid why the hell did you yell at the principal?" Tony asked incredulously, Peter huffed.

"He said something I didn't like," Peter said, hitting the back hard again. Tony muttered something, Peter caught it though.

"Well, maybe you don't know me tony. Why does everyone think they know me? Why do you think everyone has to know me?" Peter said, dropping his fists.

"What does that mean?" Tony asked softly, Peter threw his hands up into the air.

"I'm not a baby anymore Tony. I have thoughts and opinions, I get to make decisions for me now and I'm sick of everyone making them for me." Peter said, tears were gathering in his eyes.

"Peter what did the principal say?" Wanda asked, Peter let out a cry and pressed his knuckles into his eyes, then dropping them.

"The student body announced prom, and the principal said that same-sex couples weren't allowed to attend," Peter said quietly.

"Pete, I get that you want everyone to have the same rights as you but you aren't gay," Rhodey said, Peter turned to him.

"And what if I was? Would that be so bad?" Peter said, tears streaming down his face.

"What? No, Peter why would-" Clint asked Peter cut him off.

"Because everyone says it's bad! Everyone treats it like it's something that needs to be hidden and, and destroyed. And, and I'm sick of it!" Peter shouted, Clint blinked several times in response.

"Peter no ones saying that here. We aren't everyone." Tony said gently. Peter looked up at him and shrugged.

"Tony. I'm gay. And I'm mad, and I'm angry." Peter said firmly, Tony nodded.

"And you have the right to be. But I think I can do something to help."

"I Tony Stark, am holding New York's first Queer Prom for ages thirteen to nineteen. The tickets are free, catering is free, as well as music and other activities. It is a place for you to be who you are and love who you want." Tony said proudly, Peter was standing awkwardly next to him, they'd planned the whole night by themselves.

"Mr Stark! What inspired you to hold this Queer Prom?" A reporter shut, thrusting forward her mic. Tony and Peter locked eyes, Peter shrugged and nodded.

"Peter Parker," Tony gestured to Peter next to him, "Is my personal intern. When he came to lab day in an extremely bad mood I was immediately worried, as I have never seen him express his anger in such an aggressive manner. He informed me that his school would not be allowing same-sex couples to attend his prom." Tony said simply.

"Why was Mr Parker so outraged?" Another reporter asked, Tony and Peter locked eyes for a moment again, Tony gestured for Peter to take the stand.

"I'm gay. And no one knew that until now. Although I wasn't out at school it outraged me because even if I was out I would not have the option to bring someone to my school prom that I love and care about." Peter said, The reporter nodded and looked up again.

"Is there anyone you love and care about that you will be bringing to the Queer Prom?" She asked, Peter blinked several times before blushing darkly.

"Yes." He said blunty, stepping back off the podium for Tony to step back up. Tony grinned knowingly at Peter and stepped back up to the podium. Peter was pretty sure that Tony already knew who he was bringing.
