Tony

I just wiped all the Nutella off Peter's face and hands. He was sitting on top of the toilet watching my every movement. I smiled at him and threw away the last tissue before I knelt down in front of him.

-Alright, all cleaned up kiddo. What do you wanna do now? I asked.

Peter shrugged his shoulders under Thor's cape. We gotta get him some clothes.

-What do you say about hanging out with the blond man with a shiny shield while I go and get some real clothes for you? I asked.

-N-no. 'ony don't leave! Peter said panicked and started crying.

-Oh no, no ,no Peter.....c'mere, I said and picked him up in my arms.

I stood up and started rocking him back and forth. Peter cried for a short while before he calmed down. I then dried his last tears with one hand. We then looked at each other. Weird. Peter wouldn't even let me hold his hand back at the base.

-P'omise you won't leave, Peter said.

-I promise, I smiled and Peter hugged me tightly.

I smiled and pulled him close to my chest. Besides Steve, Peter is the only one who I have felt this happy with. And it only took him a few hours. The door to the bathroom suddenly swung open. Peter got so scared by the sudden sound he literally jumped up on the ceiling. In the doorway was Steve. We both looked at each other and then at the three-year-old stuck on the ceiling.

-K-kids are not supposed to do that.....right? I asked.

-No, no they're not, Steve said

-Alright.....well....I probably should've known something was up after hearing the lab results.....uh....Peter do....do you wanna come down? I asked.

Peter just shook his head. I looked at Steve for help but he looked just as clueless.

-C'mon son. You can get hurt. We'll help you down if you want? Steve said with a sweet voice.

I could see the glimpse of worry in his eyes as he looked at Peter. And while we're speaking of Peter. How the hell is he still wearing that cape!? Okay, I get that he's sticky. But......?

-Wait kids love shiny stuff right? I asked.

-Yeah

-Get the shield. I'll stay here and catch him if he falls.

Steve nodded and rushed out of the room. I looked back at Peter who didn't look scared anymore. Instead, he looked like he was in a playful mood. I don't blame him for it. HYDRA probably never allowed him to play. I wanted him to have fun. But not like this!! He could get really hurt if he fell.

-Peter buddy could you please come down from there? I asked.

Peter tilted his head at me making the rest of his brown curls fall out and hang down towards me. Then he smiled and pouted his tongue out at me. Steve came back to the room with his shield. He knelt down and started turning the shield back and forth for it to shine.

-Do you wanna come down now little guy? Steve asked.

Peter starred at the shield for a while before he nodded. Then another surprise came. Peter started lowering himself down from the ceiling with a web string. But halfway down the string broke and Peter fell. Lucky for him I managed to catch him. His webs don't seem to be strong enough to hold him.

-Are you okay? I asked as he was back in my arms.

Peter nodded and looked over at Steve who stood up with his shield. Peter's eyes were stuck to the shield. He couldn't take his eyes off it.

-Hmm....do you like the old man's shield underoos? I asked smiling at the nickname I gave him and walked closer to Steve.

Peter nodded and reached out a hand towards the shield. While he was doing that I and Steve looked at each other and smiled. It felt like we'd skipped a lot of time to get here.

-I love you, Steve smiled.

-Yeah get in line, I smirked.

Steve rolled his eyes and kissed me. I kissed him back. But I couldn't hold back a laugh when I heard Peter make a disgusted noise.

-Alright, alright. We'll stop the little guy. Just don't jump up on the ceiling. We don't want you to get hurt. Okay?

Peter nodded. I smiled and kissed his forehead.

-Fatherhood is a good look on you Tony, Steve said and messed with Peter's hair.

Peter giggled and looked up at Steve. I raised an eyebrow and smirked at him.

-The same goes for you, I answered.

-At least I can be responsible enough to actually take care of a kid.

-Hey, I'm responsible!.....kinda...

-Repontibli, Peter said trying to imitate me.

-Oh, what's that underoos? Do you think I'm responsible?

Peter nodded happily and I smirked at Steve. Steve once again rolled his eyes at me. It's way to easy to annoy him sometimes.

-From here on now Peter's the only one with the right to judge me, I said strictly.

Peter looked at me and then at Steve. After that he crossed his arms and tried to look mad even though he mostly looked silly and cute.

-You know we're gonna try and find his family, right? Steve asked.

-Oh yeah totally, I said agreeing.

Steve smiled and sighed relieved. I then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as Peter objected like last time.

-Found it, I said.

-Tony I'm serious. You can't just keep somebody's child.

-But what if he doesn't have any? I asked with my puppy dog eyes and held up Peter.

-Uuugghh.....Don't give me that....you know I can't.....okay fine!

-Yay!

-At least Peter can show you some adulthood.
