181. Me? I am him
An-Peter gets the main part of the musical and doesn't tell the team he got a part let alone his part. Tony finds out and then goes with the rest of the team

"I hate to break it to you Peter but you're definitely due for a haircut," Tony said, ruffling Peter's long and messy hair. Peter's hair hung past his ears and hung past the back of his neck. Peter looked up from his phone and shrugged.
"What? No, I'm growing it out for the school musical." Peter said, waving his hand and going back to texting MJ. Tony and the rest of the team rose an eyebrow, it was an odd day as almost all of them were here.
"Why are you growing it out for the school play?" Natasha asked. Peter looked back up, tucking his hair behind his ears.
"I got a part. If I can grow it out it means I don't have to wear a wig." Peter said with another shrug.
"Wait you got a part and didn't tell us?" Steve asked. Peter shrugged again, his cheeks burning.
"Well, yeah. I didn't think you'd care let alone want to go." Peter said sheepishly. He placed his phone face down on the coffee table and grinned shyly.
"Peter you've been practising for that part for weeks! Of course, we care. Musical theatre makes you happy." Wanda said.
"And I would never pass up the opportunity to get blackmail," Tony muttered. Peter was blushing madly as he nodded slowly.
"Well I only got two free tickets and one of them is already for May and the other can be for one of you but the rest of you will need to buy tickets," Peter said with another shrug.
"Wait, two free tickets? What part did you get?" Tony asked incredulously. Peter looked down at the coffee table again.
"That's a surprise. You'll have to wait until opening night." He said smugly, looking up at Tony's twisted face and sticking his tongue out.
"That's bribery to make us go isn't it?" Bucky said tiredly. Peter nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Yep! The money from the tickets goes to next years musical." Peter said excitedly.
"Are you gonna tell us what musical you're doing?" Sam asked. Peter shook his head again.
"Nope! You'll have to wait until opening night for that too." He said smugly.
"Ugh. You're insufferable." Wanda said. Peter just grinned in her direction.
"I know." He said.
"If you want I can cut your hair so it's even. So you can tie it up and stuff." Natasha offered.
"That would be great! I don't trust May to do it. She once accidentally cut my ear open with clippers when I was ten." Peter said.
"So when do you start rehearsals?" Tony asked. Peter looked up at him.
"Rehearsals start next week, Monday and Friday after school and as it gets closer I might have to do weekends, lunches or more days after school," Peter said, waving his hand.
"Jesus they're working you to the bone," Clint said. Peter shrugged.
"Well MJ is the director so that makes sense. Oh and she's also the producer." Peter said dismissively.
"Well, we'll be there kiddo."

"You actually came! Peter will be so happy!" May said excitedly, not even thinking twice before throwing her arms around each member of the team in tight and excited hugs.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world Miss Parker," Steve said. May waved a hand.
"Just May, please. And you all look so nice." May said. All the boys were in their nicest formal casual and the girls in modest dresses. May herself was in a dress, something Tony had never seen.
"As do you, May," Pepper said, linking arms with Mayr as they waited in line. Tony grinned when MJ stopped infront of them, handing out the programs.
"Don't look at the roles. Peter wants it to be a surprise." She said firmly, locking eyes with Tony who pouted.
"Really? I thought he was joking." Tony said sadly.
"Mhm. Now come on, I'm leading you guys to your seats so you don't get mauled." MJ said. The team nodded and followed MJ to their seats, the seats mostly empty save for a few people.
"Do we get to see Peter before the show?" Bucky asked, discreetly pulling Steve towards him by his hand.
"No. Peter's getting his costume on and makeup," MJ said.
"Boo!" Tony complained. Pepper rolled her eyes and smacked the back of his head.
"Behave." She said. Tony shrunk into his seat.
"Yes, dear." He said. MJ grinned at the two for a moment.
"You'll see Peter in the first scene." Was all she said before she marched off backstage.
"Hamilton. I haven't seen this in ages." Natasha said, gesturing to the front of the program.
After a half an hour wait, all of the seats were packed, silence falling over the crowd as another cast member introduced the musical then sinking into the closed curtains, which slowly opened. After a few moments, Tony sighed.
"Where's Peter? MJ said he'd be in this scene." He complained. He looked back up at the stage where a spotlight was in the middle of the stage.
"And his name is-" the cast member said, Peter stepped into the spotlight, his head held high, hands clasped behind his back, hair pinned back behind his head.
"Alexander Hamilton." Peter sang. Every member of the team's mouths fell open in shock. Peter got the lead role!
"And me, I am him."

"Thank you for attending the opening night of our school's production of Hamilton! Enjoy the rest of your night!" MJ said. The team filtered out with the rest of the audience, waiting outside the back doors for peter with the rest of the parents. When they saw him he was in baggy jeans and a loose sweater, his hair out and messy, the makeup still on his face. He ran out of the back doors, bag thumping against his side.
"You guys came!" He shouted, hugging each member of the team tightly in excitement before crashing into May, lifting her off of the ground for a moment before putting her back down.
"You were amazing honey!" May said excitedly, running her hands through Peter's hair.
"Thank you! It was amazing!" Peter said, just as excited.
"I can't believe you got the lead role and didn't tell us!" Tony teased, ruffling Peter's messy and dreary hair.
"I couldn't even believe it was real that I'd gotten the part! And it was so great! The lights the curtains and wow! I can't wait until tomorrow's production!" Peter rambled excitedly. Tony laughed, patting Peter's shoulder encouragingly.
"You did amazing kiddo. We're all proud of you." Tony said. Peter nodded his eyes, hugging Tony's side again for a moment.
"We got you some flowers. We would have gotten you better ones if we knew you were the lead." People said, handing Peter a very impressive bouquet of flowers. Peter waved his hand.
"They're perfect. Thank you, really. It means a lot that you guys actually came." Peter said, tears glistening in his eyes. Tony ruffled his hair again, pressing a kiss into his curls.
"So how are we celebrating?" Natasha asked teasingly. Peter reddened, looking down at his feet.
"Well, the rest of the cast and I are actually going to Delmar's for a few hours then home. I was wondering if I could go to that?" Peter asked sheepishly.
"Go for it honey, it's your night. Just text me and tell me if you need a ride home." May said, kissing Peter's forehead and taking the flowers from his extended hands.
"Thanks, May, love you and thank you. I'll see you guys later!"
