I found this incredibly beautiful idea in tumplr and I knew that I have to write a one shot about it! It's actually about Peter Stephen strange after everyone forgot about Peter and him being spider man...and who the hell Peter Parker is, Stephen meet Peter once in the street, and his wizardly feeling is killing him
Tw: mention of panic attack!
It's Christmas, finally, the snow is falling, the families are gathering, everyone is happy and trying to spend their own day the best way possible.
Friends go together to a café or a restaurant, to spend more time together, the parents surprise their families by taking them to Disney land or a place they wanted to go a long time ago, everyone is happy, everyone has someone there for them everyone except...
Peter Parker-
Who's Peter parker?, Nuh, never heard of this name, doubt that someone even exist with that name, yeah, who's that guy standing right there alone with no friends? I don't know man, never saw him before.
The normal kid that no one know anything about his past or where is his family, is walking in New York's snowy streets, with the cheerful Christmas songs filling the streets, and people gathering around Santa, he just has his backpack with his laptop in it, it's just a normal, not really the best laptop ever, he worked hard to buy this thing.
He walked to a café and ordered himself a coffee and a donut and walked to the table and took his laptop out of his bag, he looked at the girl as she handed him the coffee and the donuts then walked back to her best friend and they continued their chat.
Peter just sighed and opened his laptop and continued working, he's going to go to the MIT soon, he also has...well, had a Stark internship, he looked at the screen in front of him and continued looking for a part time job near Boston to get some money and be able to pay the collage's Outlay. And at the same time, to...to be the one he was born to be, to wear the mask and save the people which was the reason he got himself through all of this, yes he suffered, he suffered a lot and he lost everyone he love.
First, he doesn't even know who his mother is, then his father died in front of him, he lived with his other dad but then the whole thing happened and his dad doesn't even know that he exists after he casted a spell to make everyone to forget about Peter Parker.
The door of the café opened and the bells start ringing, then he heard the deep but soft voice he didn't hear in awhile.
"Hello, may I have a regular coffee with no sugar please, and chocolate donut"
the guy said, he is wearing a red jacket and a blue hoodie and jeans, he is also wearing a red Cape, his face is also so pale, he just stood there waiting for the girl to finish making his coffee, then he took out a photo from his pocket, it's a photo of him and his husband...
they didn't even get the chance to have a wedding because everything just happened so fast, Stephen dissapeared for 5 years due to thanos, so, there was no wedding.
His husband sacrificed his life to save a world that never loved him, he closed his eyes, trying to prevent his tears from falling but his tears fell on the photo, and he wispered, my Anthony.
Peter just couldn't keep looking at his father so broken and sad and... lonely, he just missed him so much,
Peter just decided that he has to leave so he closed his laptop and put it back in his backpack and got up from the table to get out.
That's Peter's life now, Peter can't stay away so they often cross paths but the other still don't remember him. Except that as time goes on, they have 'deja vu' moments. Like a stressed out dad yells "Peter!" on the streets and they think "...huh". And some kid has massive, beautiful eyes and they think "...huh". Just little things that they don't associate with Peter when they see him in passing but that grow into more and more of a complete picture.
Stephen looked around him to find himself standing in the street and looking at that kid. Peter looked at him with wide eyes. Stephen just looked down and walked back inside the café.
Peter just sighed, he thought that maybe...just maybe, Stephen remembered him, maybe he will get back to his father and live with him again, he imagined himself getting graduated from the MIT and Stephen wiping the proud father's tears and taking a picture of Peter.
but...all his thoughts just shattered.
~~~~~~~~~
Today was just a normal day for the friendly neighborhood spider man, from a few hours, he decided just to spend the last week for him in New York and save the city before he go to the MIT, so he decided that maybe he can go and leave something for Stephen at the santcum as well.
He walked inside with flowers, cookies and Stephen's favourite small puppy robot Peter and Tony made him when they stayed until a late hours in the lab, he made sure that Stephen wasn't there to see him...or anyone else because they will think that he's a criminal and will kill him or just will tell Stephen and he didn't want Stephen to know about him...maybe not now...this is not the first time for him to do this anyway, everytime he passed by, he left Stephen different things and thankfully, no one saw him...or at least that's what he thought.
Right now, Peter is fighting along with doctor strange and a new girl called Kate and other 2 new guys he doesn't know anything about but one of them looked Chinese with weird rings which is super cool!, they're fighting some kind of weird alien and they don't know where the hell this weird thing came from but they have to save the civilians after all.
Peter's POV
They discovered that this weird alien came by the help of some weirdo called 'doctor doom'?
"I have been waiting for years and years to have this moment, I waited for more than 5 years for the avengers to dissapear and for Tony Stark to die, and then come some brats like you and try to stop me?!, I don't this this is going to happen"
He said as he shot weird things from his hands, and tiny weird bots came out of his weird flying green stupid drone, I really got so angry when he said Mr Stark's name.
"Don't say his name you-!" Me and Dr Strange said at the same time and we headed to punch him, we just looked at each others and I felt like 'do you get the déjà-vu' and oh god that looked he gave me...I felt a strong pain in my stomach, I don't know that was because of him or just because that Dr weirdo guy was about to stap me.
"Look out!" Dr Strange said as 'levi', his Cape came to save me and thankfully no one got hurt.
After a lot of punching and kicking and shooting webs at the ugly guy's face, he just dissapeared before any of us could catch him, and we all sat there on the floor.
"Are you guys ok?" The exhusted and tired Stephen Strange asked us and we all nooded our heads, he nooded back at us, he looked at me for a few seconds then just opened a portal and walked through it.
I just sighed in relief.
~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Mr Stark, it's me Peter...your son, I- I don't even know if you remember me or not, everyone forgot me being Peter Parker Stark, so I won't really be surprised if the spell also got casted on you too... On ghosts? , today is my last day in here, in New York just before I go to the MIT, just like you did dad, I- I know that if you were here, you would be so proud of me, right?"
"Look what I got you! Your favourite flowers, I know I know, it's not really the best type but it's really so hard to get money and get ready for the MIT and to be spider Man, but I also got Stephen one and I also got him a Doctor strange and Iron man Lego, ya know, as in ironstrange family"
I chuckled as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"I just want everything get back to normal Mr stark, I wish...I wish if I could hug you one more time and watch a movie while sitting between you and Stephen since i won't see both of you much because...you know... MIT..., I- I think I have to go now, I don't want you to get a ghostly headache from a talkative kid like me, I hope you're ok and fine wherever you are, I miss you and I love you dad"
I said as I got up and kissed the head of the gravestone , I looked behind me to find... Stephen Strange standing right there, looking at me with tears rolling down his cheeks and flowers on the ground.
"P-peter", I just looked at him, trying my best not to sob and run to hug him...what if he doesn't really remember, and what if he does what if he remembers everything now after he heard everything I said to Mr Stark-
"P-peter, kiddo, oh my god, Pete, I remember now, I remember everything now" he said as he walked toward me and wrapped his hands around me, I couldn't contain my tears anymore and I just start sobbing, bursting into tears, I wrapped my arms around him and forgot everything in the world.
"O-oh my god, dad, y-you remember me, you do remember me now, I- I can't believe this oh my god"
"Shhh, it's ok son, yes I'm here for you now, and I do remember everything" Stephen said as he fixed his son's hair.
No one's POV
Peter couldn't stop himself from sobbing and bursting into tears in his father's embrass, he missed him so much, he missed spending time with him, watching him reading those weird magic books with different languages, he missed the movie night they have, he missed his family.
Stephen wrapped his arms around his son like he's going to dissapear at any moment, Peter held his father thinking that he will just wake up from this dream if he let go of him.
"I- it's ok Petey, everything will be ok, you're ok, that's all that matter"
Stephen said as he kissed the top of his son's head and his years kept falling.
Few minutes later, both of them stopped crying, and they let go of each others, Stephen looked at Peter's big brown bt red puffy eyes and smiled at him softly.
"B- but how you remember me? Didn't you say something about casting the spell?" Peter asked as he sniffed, Stephen give him a tissue and then looked down and picked up the flowers.
"I don't really know, I think will have to ask Wong about this, and if he didn't remember anything, then I will have to read more books to find out why"
Peter just nodded. Stephen walked to the gravestone, the one with the name he never wanted to ever see on something like a gravestone, the grave of someone he loved, he adored, his soulmate, his love life, his happiness and his everything, his world,
his Anthony
He put the flowers next to the flowers Peter put from like five minutes. He kissed the head of the gravestone then rested his forehead on it, letting the tears fall freely.
He just didn't want to think about it, he didn't want to think of his lover and was soon to be husband, under this ground and maybe dead, he wanted him back, to be back with him and their son, to spend time together, to steal his clothes, to cuddle him at night and to tell Peter 'tell your father that I'm hungry, tell him to order pizza' when they are not talking to each others because of a stupid argument.
"...dad?" Stephen wiped his tears fast and then looked at his son with a fake smile.
"C'mon Petey, let's go"of course, Stephen lied, he was actually about to have a panic attack he got up from the ground and give the gravestone one last look before he put his hand on his son's shoulder.
"I know this is a stupid question but...are you ok?" Peter asked as they walked away, Stephen chuckled at the first part of the sentence.
"Don't worry about me kiddo, now, let's get an ice cream and move your things to my house"
Peter smiled but his face dropped down when he remembered, "oh...about that-"
"What? Please don't tell me that you don't have a place to stay-"
"No no it's not like that!, It's just that...I don't really have to, t- today is my last day in New York before I go to Boston...to the MIT"
Stephen stopped and looked at him with wide eyes, "oh. My. God. Peter, oh my-, Peter you got into the MIT?!"
Stephen asked taking a step toward him son, Peter smiled and nodded his head and Stephen ran to hug him.
After this good news, stepehn decided that he want to spend every second with his son before he go to the MIT and will not see him much, but then he remembered, he's Doctor Stephen freakin' Strange, he has a sling ring and he can see his son at any time!
Stephen decided that he will take his son and go to the cenima, to watch the star wars marathon, which made Peter very happy, he even called Stephen then best pa ever, and Stephen felt his heart dancing and he was the happiest human ever.
After they finished the movie marathon, they walked through New York streets and bought ice cream and talked about the last few months and how they spent it.
~~~~~~~~~~
All the kids who got accepted to the MIT are now in the airport to take the plane to Boston, MIT.
Stephen looked at his son with the proud father's eye and hugged him.
"I'm so proud of you son, and I'm sure that if your dad was here he would be so proud as well"
Peter smiled and tightened the hug, ten they heard someone calling for Peter and the others to get in the plane, Peter looked at stephen after he nodded at him but ran back to Stephen and give him one more hug which Stephen accepted happily.
"I love you father, see ya'"
Peter smiled at Stephen then ran to the plane, he could see that Peter met his girlfriend and his best friend again, of course, as a good father, Stephen give his son some good tips, like how to talk to MJ more, how to ask her on a date and how to tell her and Ned the truth.
Stephen smiled softly at Peter, wiping the proud tears.
"i love you son,
I love you too"
The end
