You did It
Narrator's POV
"Hello, I'm Peter Parker, and I just want to say it's been a pleasure to attend this school and have the opportunity meet new friends. You know, one thing I really appreciate about Midtown High is that they accept and welcome everyone here. It doesn't mater if you come from a family that doesn't have much or if you're an eleven year old with big dreams." Peter looked at Oliver from behind a podium in front of his graduating class. "Attending school here has brought me the most laughs and smiles I've ever had in my life, bringing me fond memories that I will forever keep in my heart."
"Don't get too sappy with us Parker!" Harry shouted from the stands.
Students shared a little laughter.
Peter laughed, tearing up a little. "It breaks my heart to see all of you go, but it brings me an even bigger smile to see you here, sitting next to your classmates, ready to take the next step in life." He smiled up at everyone. "Thank you very much for these wonderful four years." Peter finished.
Wade blew his tassel out of his face before giving Peter a thumbs up as people clapped for him.
Tony and Stephen were sitting in chairs across from the stands, clapping at their son.
Everyone clapped for him as he stepped off stage and went back to sit in the stands with his classmates.
The principal of the school came up to the podium. "This has been a wonderful class to have here. It's been a pleasure having them and seeing them up and down the hallways. It seemed like you were just freshmen yesterday, and look at you now. Ready to take the next step in life. I know you all will grow up to be very successful and live happily. A whole new world of opportunities has opened for you. Don't waste your lives away, seize your moment and grasp it tightly. Don't ever let go of your dreams, with hard work and dedication they will come true, I promise you that." The principal said. "And now, ladies and gentle men, I present to you..." He looked back at the students. "The graduating class of 2025."
With that the crowd of both, students and people attending the graduation ceremony, roared and cheered as caps were thrown into the air.
"I'm so proud." Tony said, shedding a few tears as he watched his boys toss their caps in the air.
There were beautiful smiles on their faces, sharing laughter.
"Aww, honey." Stephen said, being Tony close. "Don't cry."
"I'm not crying. Something just got into my eye." Tony said, wiping his tears away.
"Sure, mhm." Stephen nodded, kissing Tony's head.

"We did it!" Peter yelped, running into Wade's arms.
"I'm so proud of you!" Wade said, picking Peter up and spinning him around.
The two laughed, hugging each other close.
Peter pulled away, smiling at Wade, holding his face in his hands before pulling him into a kiss.
Wade gladly accepted the kiss and gave it right back.
They pulled away, laughing.
"Alright!" Ned said, coming with Oliver in his shoulders.
By his sides came Mj and Harry.
The eleven year old held a fist up in the air. "Peter! We did it!" He said.
Wade put Peter down.
"I know!" Peter smiled.
"That's it." Mj said. "Welcome to the real world boys." She said.
"Off to law school for me." Harry said.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much." Peter said, hugging Mj and Harry.
"It's not like we're leaving forever. We'll still see each other from time to time." Mj said.
"Dude, we did it." Ned said. "We're off to the real world now." He said.
"I know." Peter said. "It seemed like we're just freshmen's yesterday."
"What I can't believe is this tiny guy over here..." Wade said walking over to Ned and looking at Oliver. "...graduated with us." He said, messing up Oliver's hair.
"I'm full of surprises!" Oliver smiled.
"He's one smart cookie." Mj said.
Everyone looked at her.
"What?" She asked. "I have a weak spot for small children." She said. "Oliver, it's been a pleasure going to school with your sir." She bowed.
Oliver laughed. "You too Maryjane." He said.
"Oh, come here you." Mj snatched him and tickled him.
Oliver giggled.
"Peter." Someone called in the distance.
Peter looked up to see his dads coming.
"Dads!" He ran to them, embracing them both.
"We're super proud of you." Tony said. He looked up at everyone else. "We're super proud of you all."
"Thank you." Harry smiled at the men.
Wade stood off to the side.
Stephen smiled at him. "I'm so proud of you Wade." He said.
Wade looked at him, returning the smile. "Thank you Dr. Strange."
"Daddy!" Oliver looked up.
Mj let him down.
"Oliver!" Stephen opened his arms for him.
"Are you proud of me? Look! I've graduated!" Oliver said, running into Stephen's arms.
"I'm super, duper, scooper proud of you!" Stephen said, picking him up and embracing him. "I'm proud of all of you."
The families belonging to the rest of the teenagers showed up to congratulate them and drown them in kisses.
"I'm so proud of you Peter Parker." Tony said, hugging Peter.
"Thank you." Peter said, sniffling. "Do you think they're proud too?" He asked.
"They are." Tony said. "I know they are. They're smiling down at their beautiful nephew."
"Thank you. Thank you so much." Peter teared up, hugging Tony tighter.
"Oh, come here Wade." Stephen said, holding Oliver in one arms, motioning Wade to come closer for a hug.
"Oh, um...okay." Wade said, awkwardly walking toward Stephen.
"I'm so proud of you." Stephen said, pulling him into a hug.
"Ah..." Wade gasped in surprise. He wasn't used to this kind of affection.
His parents had died long ago, and he had been alone since.
No mother's love to have. No father's support when he needed it. He had nothing.
This was all very new and shocking to him even when he had been accepted into the family, he never really felt as one of them.
Peter had shown him many wonderful things, but nothing close to a parent figure's affection. It was different, it was nice.
"Thank you." Wade said, hugging Stephen back. He wrapped both arms around him, trying his best not to cry.
"I won't tell anyone if you cry." Stephen whispered.
Wade laughed. "Thanks." He said, pulling away and smiling at Stephen.
This felt nice. Being given the love of a parent he never had was definitely nice.
"Who's up to celebrate?" Tony asked. "I know a really good pizzeria in town."
Stephen looked at him. "No way."
"Yes way." Tony answered.
"I thought they had shut it down."
"Oh, I made sure it staid opened."
"To Emilio's!" Oliver cheered.
"You took them without me?" Stephen asked.
"Well, you were kinda...um...like six feet underground..." Tony coughed.
"Oh." Stephen laughed. "Well then, I guess I'll just have to deal with it." He said. "Is it still as good?"
"Oh my gosh, it's the best." Tony said.
"I can't wait!" Stephen smiled.
"Iron Dad showed us a picture of you when you were younger." Peter said to Stephen as the five made their way to the SF Mobile.
"Did he?" Stephen asked.
"Yeah." Oliver said.
"He said you used to wear the most ridiculous shorts." Wade said.
"Okay." Tony cut in. "Let's not get the pot stirred right before dinner."
The five shared some laughter as they walked away from the crowd.
