Tony was in the middle of his lab lost in his latest project. Rock was blaring from the speakers as tony looked at the latest prototype on the screen. He had been working for hours and running on coffee and little sleep. Tony was in the middle of typing when the music disappeared.
"Fri where's the tunes?" tony asked
"I'm sorry boss but I thought you would like to know that Mr. Parker appears to have crawled through one of the common room's windows" F.R.I.D.A.Y Responded
That's weird the kid why was the kid here so late? Did he web his way all the way here? Tony asked himself as he moved from his seat and walked towards the elevator.
Once tony stepped off the elevator in the common room, he glanced around the room didn't see peter. Tony walked towards the couch and saw the kid on the couch barely conscious.
"Pete wake up bud" tony said shaking peter's shoulder lightly
Peter opened his eyes more "Mr. stark" he said with a cough
"Kiddo, why did you swing all the way here so late? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, it just got a cold I think, May was working and I just didn't want to be home alone" peter said coughing louder
"Pete you're always welcome here but you didn't have to swing all the way here especially if you're sick if you called me I would of picked you up" tony said smiling
"I was out on patrol close enough anyways" peter said shrugging
"Whatever kiddo" tony said as he sat next to the kid on the couch. Tony glanced at peter he was very pale
"You sure it's just a cold kiddo? You feeling like you got a fever or anything?"
"I'm fine Mr. stark, just a bit of a cough" peter replied
"Sure kid Fri give me Pete's vitals" tony asked
Peter stated at tony nervously
"Peter appears to be displaying signs of the flu, he has a body temp of 102.1, cough, and possible congestion" the A.I responded
Tony raised his eyebrow at the kid before speaking "cold my ass, you luckily we finally figured out meds that would work for you come on spider kid"
Tony got up and offered his hand to peter to help him up as he did, peter almost fell over
"Dizzy" peter muttered
"Come on bud let's get to your room and get you some meds" tony said with a chuckle as he dragged peter to the elevator.
Once they made it to peter's room tony helped peter get into bed after he walked into peters bathroom, opened the medicine cabinet grabbed out the bottle of pills and poured a glass of water from the sink and walked back into his room.
"Here Pete take two of these and hopefully you should feel better by morning" tony said holding out two pills and a glass
Peter took them both "thanks Mr. stark" before swallowing the pills quickly.
Tony placed the water glass on the table by his bed and was about walk out to let the kid sleep before he felt a hand stop him.
"Stay, please" peter asked quietly
"Fine, Pete you know I can't resist your puppy dog eyes but if I get sick I'm blaming you" tony said with a smile walking over to the other side of the bed and hoping on the bed.
Tony turned on peter's TV and flipped through the channels until peter told him to stop. Tony could tell peter wasn't going to be awake long after the drugs kicked in so he made sure he turned down the volume. God the kid was something special to convince him to stay in bed instead of going back to his lab. Tony mindlessly started running his fingers through peter curls and peter leaned into Tony's touch until peter was lying on Tony's chest. Not even 10 minutes later tony glanced down at peter and saw the he was lightly snoring on his chest. Tony smirked the meds finally kicked in good don't need a miserable kid around. Tony turned off the TV and sent a quick text to May letting her know her nephew was safe(god knows if the kid told her he was stopping by) he considered going down to the lab again but the moment he stopped playing with peter's curls, the kid starting to toss slightly. Tony grinned ok kid you get you way ill catch up on some sleep I guess, it will make you and Pepper happy. Tony thought before shutting his eyes.
