Bruises - the ones you left behind
When Peter woke up he thought for the first time in a while about school. He hadn't been since a few days before the incident, people were probably wondering where he was. But that wasn't necessarily a good thing, Ned and MJ probably noticed he was gone but decided not to do anything because neither of them had called. Flash would be the only one actually wondering where he was because he would miss his personal punching bag.
For that reason peter did not want to go, but it was 4am and he had school in three hours. So he told Friday to set an alarm and fell back asleep on Loki's chest.
His alarm rang at six and he got up and started getting ready. Ignoring the scars from the previous night, and pulling on a clean sweatshirt. He turned to look at Loki before leaving and taking in a breath of fresh air. He began his walk to school, then remembered he should probably tell Tony or Bruce where he was going so they didn't worry. He pulled out his phone and scrolled though his contacts, Bruce's was first so he clicked the call button and listened to the ringing.
*Bruce Banner speaking*
Hey pete what's up?
"I just wanted to let you know I'm going to school so you don't freak out when you don't see me at the tower"
Ok thanks kiddo, I'll let tony know. Or do you want to call him
"I'll just call him, thanks Bruce"
Of course, have a great day and if you need anything just call me.
"Yup, have a great day"
*disconnect*
Peter scrolled to Tony's contact and clicked call.
*Tony Stark speaking*
Hey kid, what's up
"I just wanted to tell you I'm going to school so you don't freak out when you can't find me" Peter hated it but he could hear the strain in Tony's voice, trying to keep the worry out, he didn't want to be the cause of his worry or his stress.
Oh ok kid, if you need anything just call
"Yeah I will, have a good day"
You too kid, I'll see you later
*disconnect*
Peter continued his walk to school. The second he stepped through the doors he regretted his choice, but he couldn't go back now. Ned and MJ were by MJ's locker like they always were. Everyone was acting normal, of course they would. It was just weird to see that nothing had changed, for Peter his whole life changed. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
On his way to his locker he passed Ned and MJ.
"Peter?"
"Is that you?"
He turned and faced them, "yeah"
"It's so good to see you, what happened are you okay?" Ned rambled.
"Yeah, I'm fine how have you guys been" he lied straight through his teeth.
"We're good, are you sure you're ok. You look kind of pale"
"Yeah I'm fine" he smiled, subconsciously rubbing his wrists. MJ of course, noticed but didn't say anything, didn't think anything of it. "I'll see you guys in chem"
"Yeah see you" Ned waved. Peter continued to his locker, but before he got there he was stopped yet again.
"Penis Parker, wow we thought you died" flash sneered.
"Yeah, I wish I did" he muttered to himself.
"What was that penis, you have to speak up"
"I said it's good to see you flash" he lied yet again.
"Oh of course it is, I've missed you" he sneered as he punched peter in the stomach and kicked his knee. "Well I've got to go, but we can catch up more later okay" he smiled sickly.
Peter just nodded and rubbed his stomach, that was going to leave yet another bruise. But he deserved it right? He use to tell people who asked that he let Flash beat him because he could take it, the truth was he felt he deserved it. And the pain sort of distracted him. So he stood there and took punch after punch, thinking up some story about something that happened on patrol so he could lie to tony.
His day passed like it did normally, which was weird. The only difference we're the small looks of worry from teachers when they saw him. And the thoughts that plagued him, he thought school would be a distraction but the only two things that distracted him, were back at the tower. Loki, and his seat among the yellow tulips. So he closed his eyes and thought about sitting with Loki on the roof.
"Penissss" flash yelled in a sing song voice. It was the end of the day and Peter just wanted to go home. But no. "Time to catch up penis"
"Just get it over with" he closed his eyes.
"Well ok then" flash started punching peter in his stomach, on his face. Peter fell to the ground and Flash took whatever unnecessary anger out on peter who lay there and took it, mind retreating to the roof, and the flowers, and Loki.
About ten minutes later when Flash decided he was finished he left peter on the floor. He was crying now, flash was gone so he didn't need to hide his tears. Of course it started to rain, so Peter lay there rain mixing with tears and blood. Shivering.
