"Peter Parker."

'Finally,' Tony thought as they (Him, Pepper, May, Happy, and Rhodey) cheered for him, 'We've been waiting for ages!'

As Peter walked across the stage to accept his diploma, Tony's eyes were drawn to where a boy with dirty blonde curls and a southern accent was watching Peter with what could only be described as heart eyes.

The boys had met 2 years ago when Harley had moved to the tower to go to school here.They'd hit it off almost instantly, talking and laughing, tinkering in the lab together, watching movies, texting when they couldn't hang out.

Surprisingly, it was Tony who first noticed that they liked each other. Peter became strangely confident in his flirting and jokes whereas Harley was the one the blushed and got flustered.

Tony found it endlessly amusing.

As soon as all the students had been called, speeches were given, and diplomas and awards handed out, Peter appeared in front of them in, a gigantic smile on his face.

"Peter, I'm so proud of you, sweetheart!" May said pulling him into a hug that would surely break bones if he wasn't Spiderman. "Lemme see!" May motioned to his certificate.

He passed it to her just as he was tackled by Ned, MJ, and Harley. They all fell to the ground in a heap or robes and caps, killing themselves laughing.

If Tony was recording it all through his FRIDAY interfaced glasses he would just say it was for blackmail.

"Okay, okay. Let me have a chance with the kid now." He said as they all tried to right themselves.

Once Peter was standing he was pulled into another hug, this time from Tony.

"I'm proud of you too, kid." He said against Peter's curls. "I think May and I could have gone without the heart attack you gave us when you passed out after pulling those all-nighters to study, but there's never a dull moment with you is there?" the billionaire smiled and lifted his arms in a shrug, pulling away from Peter.

"Thank you, Mr Stark." Peter beamed at him as he moved back a few steps to stand with his friends. "I'm so glad this is all over, guys!"

"Until we start the cycle over again when we go to college. Then it's back to unreasonable workloads, mental instability and government scams, just with added debt and ramen noodles." MJ said.

Ned and Peter simultaneously shushed her. "I'm ignoring you until tomorrow because this is the greatest day of my life."

Looking back, Tony could pinpoint that it was exactly that was the moment when it all went to shit.

Out the corner of his eye, Peter saw MJ give a subtle thumbs up as she strategically moved her phone.

Harley suddenly perked up. "I could always ask you to marry me now and really make it the greatest day of your life," he smirked, "or I could just wait for later."

Tony's jaw dropped and he jerked in a way that reminded Pepper of when Maya Hansen had quipped about a son just before the Mandarin incident.

Peter tilted his head in contemplation. "Hmm," he said, "now is good because we can get it out of the way before we have to leave. Right, Em?" He turned to the girl who just smirked.

"I mean, you're not wrong," Harely agreed, "dibs on MJ as my witness!"

Peter rolled his eyes. "I was gonna dibs her! Unfair!" He pouted.

Ned made an indignant sound from next to them. "Hey!" He cried. "What about me?!"

Peter turned to him with wide eyes. "Dude! I'm sorry! Please forgive my grave mistake!" He said in a dramatic voice.

"Dude," Ned replied solemnly, "You are forgiven."

Harley clapped his hands, startling Tony out of his shock. "I don't know about you guys... but I feel like pizza." He beamed.

He waited for answering nods and agreement from everyone before walking off towards the parking lot. "C'mon then! I'm starving."

"Wait for me! Getting engaged makes you hungry." Peter giggled and Harley stopped, almost falling over from the sudden burst of laughter the escaped him. Ned and MJ were laughing too.

They all looked at Tony who resembled a fish with the way his mouth was gaped open.

"What, and I cannot stress this enough, thehelljust happened?"

That was all it took for May, Pepper, Rhodey, and Happy to let the out laughs they'd been trying to hold in.

"Wha-" Tony floundered. "Can someone please tell me what's going on right now?"

"You- your face-" Harley couldn't speak through his laughter.

Pepper stopped giggling and looked at Tony only to lose it again.

Rhodey gave a final snort before he managed to pull himself together. "You just got pranked, Tones!" He chortled.

"Tony.exe has stopped working." MJ said when Tony just stared at them all.

Eventually, Tony sighed and declared "You all are detrimental to my health and are hereby disowned."

"Don't worry Mr Stark! We're not getting married anytime soon," Peter started "Yeah, we are definitely not ready for the whole wedding thing. We'll make it official in a few years." Harley continued.

If possible, Tony looked even more done with life. "Official?" He said before shaking his head, "You know what? I don't want to know. I just wanna go have a pizza and forget this whole thing happened." He walked off towards the car and chuckled to himself, 'Never a dry moment with them, that's for sure.'

"You guys coming or what?" He called behind him to the still chuckling group.

"I've heard that engagements make you hungry."
