Since it's Christmas today is decided to write a one-shot. There is another one-shot in my other story. 

"It's snowing! Mr. Stark wake up, it's snowing!" Tony rolled over in bed, groaning, "Let me sleep kid, you're not five, you can go outside by yourself" Peter didn't even falter, just kept shaking Tony's shoulder to wake him up. He had stayed the night at the tower, working on a school project for Monday. May never minded letting him stay, as long as he got a decent amount of sleep. So he just happened to be spending the night when the first snow of the season decided to fall. And now he was practically jumping on Tony's bed, trying to get him to wake up and mess around. Tony covered his head with a pillow, mumbling tiredly, "Where's Pep?" Peter rolled his eyes, "She's already up, and said it'd be fine to wake you up too!" Tony rolled onto his back, playfully shoving Peter away, "Fine, give me a minute to change and I'll be right out," Peter grinned, jumping off the bed, "Okay!" He ran out of the room, probably going to put on a jacket. Tony didn't move for a second, smiling at how childish Peter acted when he was excited. Adorable. Eventually he sat up, "Alright then. It's a snow day I suppose,"He changed quickly, pulling on a jacket before going downstairs. Peter was sitting on the couch, on the phone with someone. Pepper was calmly sitting on the kitchen counter, drinking a mug of hot chocolate. Tony walked over to join her, leaning over and whispering so Peter didn't hear, "Did you tell him he could wake me up?" Pepper laughed gently, nodding towards Peter, "Did you see how excited he was? You can afford to wake up early to make him happy," Tony rolled his eyes, kissing her gently, "Fine. But only this once," Peter shuffled over, and Tony could tell something was off. He raised his eyebrows, "What's up sport? Santa crash his sleigh?" Pepper elbowed Tony in his side, and Peter let out a small giggle, before looking up at Tony, serious again, "Uh—Aunt May says she'd rather spend the first snow day with me, she doesn't want to be alone. I don't want to leave her if that's alright," Tony nodded, "Yeah, of course it's okay kid. You're free to go home. But you can always just invite her over here if you want," Peter's face suddenly lit up, "Really Mr. Stark?" Tony nodded to the phone in Peter's hand, "Call her back kid,"Peter ran back over to the couch, dialing excitedly, and within seconds he had turned back to Pepper and Tony, giving them a thumbs up, "She said that'd be awesome and she'll be over in a bit," Tony grinned, raising his eyebrows, "Ask her if she's gonna wear one of those sexy Santa outfits?" Pepper and Peter both immediately turned to Tony, glaring at him. He looked terrified, and attempted to backtrack, "uh sorry, my bad. I'm working on it." Pepper just slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't test me, mister, I own most of this company. I could have you sued." She hopped off the counter and ruffled Peter's hair affectionately, as Tony gasped in the fake offense. A couple of minutes later, Peter looked up from his hot chocolate to check his phone. His face lit up, "May's here! She's outside."


They all headed out, bringing an extra thermos of hot chocolate just for emergencies. The second they walked outside, Peter was hit in the head with a snowball. He turned to find May, already with a pile of snowballs. Peter could tell how much she hadn't wanted to be alone. Peter smiled at her, before turning to Tony for help. Tony just shrugged, "Sorry kid, you're on your own," Without a warning, another snowball hit Tony, knocking off his festive sunglasses (they were all lit up with fairy lights). May had been around Tony and Pepper just for long enough to see Tony was a better man than she had originally thought. That didn't mean she wasn't gonna throw a snowball at his head if she got the chance. Which obviously, she had. Tony shook the snow off his head, turning to Pepper, "Pep? Team up with me?" She rolled her eyes but smiled, setting her hot chocolate down, "Fine," Peter turned to May, "Help me fight Mr. Stark?" May gestured to her pile of snowballs, "Get over here already,"


Peter ran over, and for the rest of the morning, the four of them engaged in an all-out snowball battle. There was something really cool about the first snow of winter (pun intended), and Peter was glad he got to spend it with his family, all of them. Eventually, they all headed inside to watch a movie. Peter knew May was a little uncomfortable since she hadn't been over at the tower too much, but after a while, she settled in fine, chatting with Pepper. At some point, Pepper and she had actually split off to talk about god knows what, as Peter continued to watch the movie.


At some point, he gestured to the other side of the room, "Could you pass me that blanket Mr. Stark? I'm freezing," Without missing a beat, or even looking away from the tv, Tony responded, "Hi freezing, I'm dad," Peter froze, eyes wide. After another second, Tony seemed to process what he said and froze as well. Neither of them said anything, staring blankly at the tv. They might have stayed there forever, but after just another second, Pepper and May decided to step in, Pepper talking first, "In case you were wondering, yes we heard that, and yes we approve," Tony and Peter made eye contact, and although they knew they would have to talk about it at some point, for now, they just settled on smiling and pressing play on the movie.
