58. Solos
An-Peter never stopped doing marching-band and stops coming to the tower when he has a performance coming up, May steps in and invites the team (Photo up top is Peter-s uniform, whichever one you want him to be wearing)
---------------
Peter was extremely stressed since he was a lot bigger then when he last wore his band uniform it didn't fit him, which meant he needed to re-size it, which meant that he skipped a day in the lab with Tony, who was extremely suspicious. When Happy showed up at his school like normal he face-palmed. He awkwardly waited for the window to open, and when it did Happy looked very unhappy to be there.
"Just get in the car kid I don't have time for this." Happy said. Peter shifted awkwardly.
"Well, you see, I kind of have this thing on tonight which means I can't come to the tower, in fact, I can't come to the tower for the rest of the week because I have stuff on which means I need time after school." With that, Peter ran in the general direction of his apartment, really not wanting to explain himself to Happy or Tony. He also ignored the frantic texts from both Tony and Happy in favour of picking up his saxophone and starting to practice.
--------------
Tony was very confused, usually, Peter would text or call if he couldn't come to the labs with Tony, not awkwardly get Happy to tell him, there was obviously something going one. So Tony rook it upon himself to call May and find out what was going on.
"Hi, Tony! I was actually going to call you!" May said, Tony rose an eyebrow, since when did May call him by choice.
"Yeah Hi May. I was calling to ask if Peter was ok? He was really odd with Happy and hasn't come to the tower in a couple of days." Tony said, fiddling with the tool n his hand, May sighed.
"That's actually part of the reason I was going to call. Peter's going to is schools football game and doing a solo with his marching band-" May was cut off by Tony screeching.
"He told me he quit marching band!" Tony shouted.
"Well he didn't, he just didn't want you to think he wasn't dedicated to being spiderman," May said sadly.
"He's a kid, he'd supposed to have extracurriculars!" Tony shouted.
"Yeah well I told him that too but he wouldn't listen. Look Tony this is really big for him, he's gotten a big solo and he's been working really hard for this. The reason I wanted to call is that since he got his powers his old band uniform doesn't fit and I was wondering if I could ask you to pay for a new one? It's just my paycheck doesn't come in for a few more weeks and-" May was cut off my Tony once again.
"Of course I'll pay for it! Although I didn't know he changed that much after the bite." Tony chuckled a little, already depositing money into May's account.
"Yeah you should see the photos, he was a scrawny little thing, glasses and all." May chuckled back.
After ended the call with May Tony raced to the common room, bursting into the room struggling the catch his breath, "Peter never quit marching band and he's going to be doing a solo at his school football game on Saturday and May's invited all of us. He plays the saxophone and I could hear him over the phone, he's really good." Tony promptly collapsed onto one of the couches. The team was in an uproar as they scrambled to find something to wear tomorrow.
-------------
Peter was a mix of excited and nervous. He quickly adjusted the cap, as well as the strap on his arm, and shifting his hold on his saxophone. He honestly couldn't believe he'd gotten the solo, he was first pick so this was really big for him. Most of the same people who did decathlon did marching band, so he smiled and waved at a few people. Peter quickly checked his phone and saw the good luck message May always sent him. When the half time was announced the marching band raced out onto the field doing their routine and playing the song.
Peter stepped forward and did his solo, almost passing out near the end. When he stepped back the crowd roared the life as they continued the song. Once they got back to the change room the marching band was roaring in excited, midtown was up ten points and the game was almost over. Once the game finished the marching band rushed back onto the field in excitement, cheering with the football team at their easy victory. Peter got clapped on the back by a couple of the football players he was friendly with. He smiled happily as he congratulated the team on their win.
After all the excitement he packed up his saxophone, swinging it lightly as he stood looking for May in the parking lot. Suddenly MJ shoved his shoulder, making him smirk at her.
"Since when did you come to football games?" Peter said, putting down his saxophone to cross his arms teasingly. Peter rose an eyebrow at MJ, who's face was dusted in pink as he stared at her.
"Since you finally got that solo." MJ teased back, he put a hand over his heart dramatically.
"Never thought I'd see the day where Michelle Jones showed up to football game and basically congratulated me on doing a wicked solo," Peter said, laughing heartily after he saw the furious look on MJ's face.
"Don't get so full of yourself Parker, fame better not change you." MJ quipped, making Peter laugh harder.
"No matter how famous I get I'll still be a loser to you MJ," Peter said, MJ nodded.
"You better, because I might not do this again," MJ said, surging forward placing her hands either side of his face, kissing him softly. She pulled back and smirked at his shocked face. She was about to walk away when Peter pulled her in for another kiss, his hands also on her face. They pulled apart and smiled at each other.
"Well, I have to go. But stay gold Parker." MJ said, rushing away. Peter waved at her, a massive smile on his face. He picked back up his saxophone, he looked up and saw May, along with the entirety of the Avengers, who all ad their mouths open in shock. Peter's face paled slightly when he saw them, he hastily pulled off the cap and put it under his arm. He slowly walked up to them, swinging his saxophone case slightly. May surged forward and wrapped him in a hug.
"You did so good Peter! I'm so proud of you!" May said, peppering his face with kisses, making him make a face.
"Ew May, girl cooties," Peter said, making May roll her eyes.
"You got enough girl cooties to last a lifetime, or did I just imagine you kissing that girl over there?" Tony teased, patting Peter on the shoulder. Peter blushed darkly, shoving Tony lightly.
"Shut up Mr Stark." Finally, it settled in that the literal Avengers were in his school parking lot after his big game, "What are you guys doing here?!" He blurted out, holding his cap tightly in his hand now. Tony took it from him and mockingly put it on his own head make Peter scowl at him.
"Cheering you on of course. May called and asked for me to pay for your uniform so I thought I'd come and see what I was paying for." Tony said, chuckled when Peter snatched the cap off his head, straightening it out.
"You gotta be careful with these, they wrinkle easy." He muttered, putting it under his arm again. The team laughed at his and Tony's antics, "Yeah haha I care about my marching band uniform." Peter attempted to sound annoyed but couldn't fight the wide smile on his face.
"You were amazing Pete!" Steve said, slinging an arm around his shoulder as they walked to the entrance, where Happy sat in the front seat on an extremely large limo. Peter huffed before following May into it.
"Thanks." He said, sinking in a seat happily, it really sucked being on his feet that long. He carefully put his saxophone at his feet making sure it wouldn't move around when the car started. They were chattering aimlessly as they made their way to May and Peter's apartment. Peter was pretty sure he could fall asleep at any moment until Natasha decided to tease him.
"So Peter who's the girl?" Natasha said, making Peter glare at her.
"She's just MJ, a friend," Peter said.
"She is way more than a friend. Peter never stops talking about her, I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to make a move." May said.
"May!" Peter said, throwing her a look. The team laughed around them.
"You should have seen your face when she kissed you!" Clint said, making Peter scowl.
"I think Peter deserves some credit, he did pul her in for another kiss after all," Bucky said, ruffling Peter's hair. Peter scowled again.
"What did she say as she left? I need to know." Wanda said, leaning forward.
"She said stay gold, it's a reference from a book we both love." The team made Ewing noises at Peter's response.
"Oh my god, you are both mega nerds," Tony said, burying his face in his hands.
