The alarm on Tony's phone went off at 5:00 am. Steve groaned to his husband timings, it was way too early, even for Tony. "Tones, i love you but... why?" Tony laugh. "I wanna know if Peter is awake at this time too" he explained "he is sitting in his bed every morning i wanna know the time he wakes up" Steve node.
They both got up and at 5:15 they were on their way to their foster kid room. They opened the door and there he was, Peter was sitting in his bed as always, when he heard the two men walked in he looked down at his hands. "Oh, you are awake" Steve started "don't you wanna fall back asleep for a while?" Peter looked up for a second and shook his head. Tony's face fell a little, he felt bad for the kid. He fall asleep about 12:00/1:00 am and woke up god know when. It had been 2 weeks since Peter arrived to their house and he barely speak, much less ask for what he wanted, he wasn't a normal kid. And not in the good way, he had been so abused, all his life that he was scared. This scared both of Tony and Steve. "Well, in that case, we are doing breakfast. Would you come to eat with us?" Steve asked politely and in response Peter got up and went to them.
He slept on a white shirt and hello kitty pants way too big for him. Tony and Steve tried to make him change into shorts or something a bit more clean, but he refused.
In the kitchen table the couple talk about what they were gonna do and asked Peter if he wanted to do anything especial. Like they imagine Peter shook his head "no". Tony sat side to Peter and Steve in front of them. Peter had a plate full of food in front of him, eggs, bacon 2 toasts, but he was scared of eating too much. He didn't want to upset Mr. Stark or Mr. Rogers by eating all their food. But instead, this botter Tony and Steve. That he kid didn't eat because he didn't wanna get in trouble. "So, Pete. We are going to the park later with Scott, Clint, Nat and the kids" Steve said "would you like to come?" Peter shutter his shoulders. Both of the men knew it meant yes. Tony smiled at him and pat his shoulder in a caring form, he felt Peter flinch in fear. Tony retire the hand quickly and glanced at his husband.
It was 2:30 pm and they were supposed to meet their friends at the park in 30 minutes. "I'm calling Peter, wait" Tony said and walked up the stairs. He opened Peter's door and saw him sitting on the floor with his back against his bed and his knees on his chest. "Hey buddy, we gotta go" Peter got up quickly and walked towards Tony. Tones put a hand on Peter's shoulder and he saw him tensed up. "Hey budd, wait a second please" Tony said slowly. Peter looked at him "Yes, sir" Tony sigh "I told you to call me Tony" He would love for Pete to call him "dad" but he knew it wouldn't happen so soon "Sorry, Tony" the kid apologize "It's fine" Tony sigh again and decide to talk "Okay, so we want to adopt you, but you knew that already. But we need for you to know we are not gonna hurt you, ever. Okay? you don't have to be scared of us" Peter nood "Yes, sir." but he didn't believe a word. Everybody always wanted to hurt him. "Okay, let's go to the park".
Steve was waiting next to the door and when Peter and Tony appear Steve notice the worry on his husbands face but decide to ignore it till Peter is out of hearing. The car drive was silent with Panc! at the Disco playing, Tony was thinking about how to get Peter loses a little bit, Steve worrying about Tony and Peter doing the math of how long is gonna take them to realize he is not good for them.
They arrived at the park just in time, everyone was there but they weren't late. Nat stood up while gritting them. "Hi Pete, good to see you" she had learned already that it was better not to touch the kid "Bruce says hi" Peter smiled at Nat making Steve and Tony smiled too. "Hey dad! Hey dad! look at me!" they heard a little kid yell. It was Cassie, Scott's daughter playing and doing cartwheel. "I can do it better, look look" Cooper said doing a backflip "Oh, hey Peter!" the kid said when he notice him, Peter wave slowly. He wasn't timid with kids but he hated when adults were around them cause every time he spoke to a kid he got beaten by their fathers or the orphanage manager or some other adult. Steve pat Pete on his back making him flinch and asked his if he wanted to play wit the other kids. Peter walked slowly to them.
An hour past and Peter barely had said a word. At this point not even the kids were trying to integrite him. "Hey dad, watch out!" Lili yelled at Clint, she was doing following cartwheels and she ended up falling into Clint's lap. They all laugh except for Peter. He couldn't believe his eyes. This kids were so childish. "What Peter? I bet you can't even do one of those" with this he got up. He was very impulsive all the time and he hated when someone challenge him. 'No Peter don't. Just don't be stupid' He thought to himself. But he walked in a straight line and rise his hands. At this point Tony looked at Steve in disvilife, and that was all Peter needed. Adults not trusting him or respecting him once more... Cartwheel, Forward Somersault, Forward Somersault, Aerial Cartwheel, Aerial Cartwheel, Aerial Cartwheel, Aerial Cartwheel, Round Off, Aerial Walkover, Backflip and turn, Aerial Walkover, Aerial Cartwheel, Back Walkover, Back Walkover, Aerial Walkover, Back Walkover, Back Walkover, Backflip, Backflip and to finish Aerial Walkover. Everybody looked at him in amaze. THE KID WAS SO TALENTED. None knew what to say and the uncomfortable silence was spot easy. "WOW!" Lili and Cassie said at the same time. Peter smiled to himself and sit again next to Nat who was muted for first time in her life.
They arrived to their houses at 4:00 and everyone was tired. "Pete, listen. you know this is your last week her right?" Steve saked. When you adopt a kid you just met, you are supposed to foster him first and when you do all the paperwork the kid goes back to the orphanage for a week and then he comes back home. "It's only a week" Peter nodded. It was gonna be more than a week cause nobody wanted him, he was gonna stay an orphan forever. "Good" Tony said "Past tomorrow you are going back there, but like steve said it's only for a week". Tony wanted to say that they loved him but it was too soon instead he told him to go to his room, and go down to set the table. "Oh, hun, i was thinking we should probably get him into gymnastics or something like that" Steve laugh loudly "You think?" he answered and kissed his husband cheek.
