[ Gamora isn't going to come and find Peter later; she's not even going to mention anything about shoes or about getting something for him. She eventually relieves him from Groot-duty, shoe-free, with takeout food for everyone instead.

However, the day after...

Whenever Peter goes out, he'll return to find three pairs of shoes set on his bed on the second floor of community housing.

One black pair. One blue pair. One red pair.

There aren't any receipts or price tags to let him return them, but in Gamora's neat handwriting is a small note attached: ]



[ She doesn't bother writing the "Or else." ]

i bet u didn't expect THIS NOVEL!

[madeupnames]

[Peter had spent a lot of the night prior wandering the city as Spider-Man — aimlessly, really, and with no want to go home. At all. Mr. Stark had told him the truth of what happened back home... or what will happen anyways, and the stunning revelation of both losing as a hero and losing as a friend has made him weirdly numb all over. He doesn't even know what he's gonna do — or what he can even say, 'cus even in the short time he's been here, the Guardians have become pretty constant in his weird life.

"Peter, are you alright?" Karen asks. "Your resting heart rate has increased."

He says he's fine. It's fine. But it's kind of not... fine at all?

The idea of hearing anything from Quill over text makes his stomach hurt. And having to walk back into their apartment to keep an eye on Groot seems impossible. And he still has Mantis' little friendship bracelet on, under his suit, 'cus she seemed so into it and he hasn't had the heart to even put it somewhere nice on his dresser; it belongs on a wrist, right? These are all things for people who would go home just to die. And apparently while he's there — on his watch.

Teammates don't let teammates die. They don't let friends die.

Peter is so sick of people he cares about dying; he can't let it end like that.

He sits up top of the highest point he can find and thinks about what he can do now. First thing's first, he needs to figure out a way back, so he can be useful. Staying here will only mean pacing around and knowing things are gonna get bad back home, real bad. He'll talk to whoever's in charge and let them know he wants the first chance offered to rush back to Earth.

... And that's... all he can really do. Isn't it?

He couldn't tell them. He couldn't ruin their time here with that, and now he kinda gets why Mr. Stark waited for Pete to come to him in his lab. Because what do you say? How can you hurt people like that, telling them such awful news? He's fifteen years old, he's not a goddamn police officer who delivers news to next of kin — he's just used to them.

He only realizes how late it is when the light's hitting the skyline again, and he blearily sneaks back onto the roof to dress back into his clothes. His feet feel so heavy on the steps, and he really just wants to sleep now and hope for the best. But then he finds those three pairs of shoes on his bed — and he peels the post-it off the dresser, and he feels like his heart's gonna smash into little pieces.

He clumsily wipes away a few stray tears from his waterline that bully their way out.

Aww, man, he thinks miserably. Please don't.

Later, a sticky note is in turn left on the Guardian's fridge; when he came in and out, who knows.]



[He'll try his best not to lose these, okay?]

(a very important) text; @citharede

I just realized tow trucks are ambulances for cars.

[madeupnames]

This is a very interesting thing to throw at me at this hour.







Police should wear light-up sneakers that turn red and blue when they're chasing perps, Y/N?

[citharede]

Next time I'll wait until 3. Besides I don't think Jeff would appreciate me waking him up to tell him. Are you, y'know, doing your thing?




....



A B S O F U C K I N G L U T E L Y??

[madeupnames]

actually just finished up work early tonight and heading home!
I got homework. :T

... And I already got in trouble for the last missing packet and my aunt'll kill me if she knew I skimped on my grade duties even in a whole other universe without her to eyeball me.

[Doing homework at ridiculous hours is just the natural way of things.]

[citharede]

Lucky lucky you.

Ah shit. I'd offer to help but I don't even know what they teach in space-school. ...What DO they teach in space school?

[madeupnames]

A lot of the same tbh. Some stuff is taught in different ways? But you can opt for social studies from your world if enough info is around from your planet. Chemistry is a lot funner here tho, we blow stuff up more ✌

[citharede]

Oh cool. So it won't be literally impossible to study for my moon GED.

Man, that I wouldn't mind though. Can't decide how I feel about being given a job instead of the whole school deal. I guess I am almost nineteen.

[madeupnames]

You should do it!
you CAN do it
You've got my big brain @ ur lefthand side 💪🧠

[citharede]

🤙🤙🤙🙏

YES PLEASE. I'm so shit at studying on my own.

[madeupnames]

Good! You go back to school, I'll help u out! Parker tribe @ work!

[citharede]

R e p r e s e n t !

This is going to be awesome.

delivery; 8/10 (we're just gonna pretend this is not hideously late)

[ Deposited SUPER STEALTHILY onto Peter's bed while he's out is a box containing one (1) tablet that can be converted into a laptop and one (1) fancy phone with holographic projecting capabilities.

Also one (1) note. ]

Take care of these. Happy birthday. - TS

[madeupnames]

IDK how you know these things but I'm not surprised

Thanks Mr. stark.
You didn't have to do anything but I'll take good care of them, promise.

✌✌✌

[... Also hope this phone is sturdy, because you know he's gonna drop it eventually.]

no wait

[madeupnames]

[Five seconds later-]

okay but these are crazy expensive!!!!
How much do these cost??
omg the phone is a holograph-y Stark phone

just give me a sec

[madeupnames]

mr. Stark this is too much I'm catching illness from some money disease

okay done for real thanks tony stank

[madeupnames]

I mean! Thank you though!
I will keep these super secure & safe, I'll pay you back someday I swear on that!!!
These are awesome
you're awesome.

[He's sorry he's been so absent lately, man. He'll try harder. And be better.

Keyword, try.]

[buildsomething]

You don't pay back gifts.

[What the heck, spider child, what is your hot aunt teaching you.]

[madeupnames]

Of course you do! you pay them back w/ other gifts.
Gifts pay for gifts it's practically science

[buildsomething]

Far be it from me to question your science.

Except I totally am.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

[madeupnames]

1000000% how it works, sorry, I don't make the rules.
next time Iron Man's birthday rolls around he's gonna get a Parker-designed robot to add to his questionable collection.
Or maybe just a gift card idk.

[If they're even here that long... But still...]

[buildsomething]

Who are you calling questionable?

The point of giving something isn't to get something back.

[madeupnames]

maybe not exactly, but...!!

if you're given something, it's important to give something back. pass it along. Right? You get a couple bucks to pay for some milk you couldn't afford at the grocery store, you give a couple bucks to a friend who needs lunch a week from then. You get a present from someone for a b-day, you make damn sure you write their birthday down!

I mean, sure, my present won't be as awesome as yours, but now it's in stone. :)

[buildsomething]

Alright fine, I'm not going to argue the point. As long as you stop freaking out about costs, seriously.

[madeupnames]

[... The reply is merely an meme image.]

[buildsomething]

[ ...Kids, man. ]

a day or so after his network post with pam

[wingedman]

[Along with Peter's usual sandwich stash, there's a cake waiting in the fridge, with a card tucked next to it. Inside the card is a gift card to idk some clothing store all the kids go to.]

[madeupnames]

[Aw, shucks.]

for the record, I make the webs myself. i don't have butt webs.


and_



thanks for the cake and gift card! I feel spoiled. 😌

[godslay]

Peter said you had too much to drink last night.

[madeupnames]

[He groans from under his covers, because this kid is reckt.]

peter says peter is good at ratting people out.




I'm good

[godslay]

Don't lie.

[ kid ur dyin ]

Why did you get yourself so drunk?

[madeupnames]

Just

something I wanted to do at some point



rite of passage right? For a teenager.
especially when cute girls offer you drinks that taste pretty good.

[godslay]

I wouldn't know.

[ Her rites of passage included beheadings so. You know. ]

You were too busy flirting with girls to realize how much you were having?

[ Big Pete would be proud??? ]

[madeupnames]

No no! Not flirting like that! I mean I have a bad habit of not saying no to something

them being pretty doesn't help 😩

It was on a to-do list i've got for riverview, that's all, I'm not gonna let it get like that again

[godslay]

Your to-do list involved getting drunk?

[madeupnames]

I

yes?
I just figured it was something most people consider doing.
At some point.
