GUILT

-------------

Meanwhile, In A Modern History Class...

"Now, I want you to get into to groups of no more than three for this project. Pick people you like as your be working in these groups for the next four weeks. If you can't choose sensibly and quickly yourself, I'll pick for you" Mr Davidson said.

MJ turned in her seat to look at Peter and Ned in the row behind her and a silent conversation was had where they agreed to be in a group. Just as Mr Davidson finished explaining this, the bell rang for the end of day, and Peter and Ned followed the mass of eager students out of the classroom. It was a Friday, and everyone clearly wanted to get home.

It wasn't until they were at their lockers when Peter and Ned realised they girlfriend hadn't left with them. They shrugged and finished getting their stuff from their lockers, chatting about Ned's new Jarwa Sandcrawler LEGO set all the while, and so by then the corridor was basically empty.

"Where's-" But Ned stopped when Peter pointed over his shoulder.

"I can't believe my boyfriends abandoned me!" MJ said sarcastically, as she reached them.

"Well MJ, when the bell goes, we go."

"Well Peter, if you hadn't left so fast, you'd have seen Davidson handing out the structure for our project." MJ replied giving both of them a copying of the essay structure sheet.

"Thanks MJ, I have to go, Moms outside. Love you guys."

Peter's phoned pinged, "Happy's out front too, Love you too Ned, love you MJ."

"You losers better get going then, love you." MJ said, hanging back. They never left all at once, so as not to arouse any suspicion.

"Discuss the project on the group chat." Ned asked, getting a nod from MJ and a "Yep" from Peter.

Ned and Peter left school together, careful not to stand so close each other, that people thought they were more than just friends. Ned spotted his Mom's car first and gave a quick wave to Peter, before running over. Turning away from Ned's retreating car, Peter spotted Happy in Tony Stark's least inconspicuous car. A black Hummer SUV, with dark tinted windows, and armour plating all over no doubt. Peter sighed, but happily, he knew the car meant his parents cared for his safety which, after Peter's rough start in the Foster System, was exactly what he needed and Tony & Pepper knew it.

Jumping into the car, and shouting a quick "Hi Happy" to the recently promoted, Stark Industries Head of Security, he took out his StarkPhone V, one that wasn't even on the market as it was still being developed.

Peter switched off his phone, and slipped it back into his pocket. He loved his girlfriend and boyfriend more than anything, none of them had ever been in Polyamorous relationship before and nobody knew about it but them. They weren't even out to their parents, or in MJ's case her older brother. They'd been in a relationship for almost four months now, the Stark heir had known he was Bisexual for about six months, but he'd been questioning himself for over a year previous. Though he knew his family would be more than ok with it, that was a small feeling of doubt within him. A small feeling of doubt that stemmed from a conversation Peter and his Dad had almost a year ago now.

-------------

Now, In A Conversation Peter Had Almost A Year Ago...
Peter and his Dad were in his Dad's personal lab, when Tony suddenly stopped his work on Peter's suit and said, "Peter can I talk to you for a second."

Peter looked up from the modifications, Karen was helping to add to his web-shooters, the Taser Webs. An concept conceived after Auntie Nat said that her Baby Spider needed a more deadly attack, which after some opposition from Peter, was decided to be non lethal.

"Yeah 'course."

With Peter now sat in front of him, Tony began, "Peter now that you're getting older, there's some things I need to tell you about.", and on seeing the look of horror on his son's face he was quick to clarify. "I'm not giving the Birds and Bees, I'm talking about something my dad never gave me that I really could of used when I was your age. When I came out to my Mom, as pansexual, she told me how proud she was of me, same with when I told Jarvis and Aunt Peggy. But she made me promise to never tell me Dad, at least not until I was much older, even-though I was seventeen at the time."

Tony paused as he felt Peter wrap his arms around his Dad and the little comforting feeling Tony felt, propelled him to continue.

"Anyway I never told him, I don't regret it. He was a hard man to be around, Peter, and for all the good he did for the world, he was the most intolerant son of a bi- gun, I've ever known."

Peter pulled back and looked his Dad in the eyes, before saying, "Wow Dad, that really sucks, I'm sorry."

"Not your fault Pete. Anyway my point is don't ever feel like you can't tell me anything, ok. I love you, we love you, and we'll love you no matter what."

Peter felt a pang of guilt in his chest, before covering it by smiling back at his Dad. "I know, I love you and Mom too. I know I can tell you guys anything."
