Hi everyone! I wanted to say a quick thank you for 900+ reads! I never thought I'd get so many reads on this! Thanks so much! I also wanted to give a shoutout to @xEF237x for voting on a whole bunch of my one shots! I really appreciate it, you're awesome! :)

In this one shot there's nothing different really, except that Peter lives at the tower. Like he does in almost all of my one shots XD but we don't talk about that lol whheeeeeeeee les go :))

Peter was taking a walk along some of the nicer parts of Queens, enjoying the sunset and listening to his music. He'd finished his homework and his projects, and just wanted to talk a walk. It was warming up, so it was pretty nice out. It was hard keeping a big dorky grin off his face. 

As he passed an alley, Peter heard a meowling sound. He turned and looked around, seeing nothing at first. But then movement caught his eye, and a small black kitten peeked out from a trash can. He had white paws and white tipped ears, and Peter couldn't help but smile at him. 

" Hey buddy," Peter said softly, crouching down. The kitten approached Peter cautiously, sniffing him. Peter held out his hand, letting the cat get a feel for him. The kitten nuzzled into his hand and Peter started gently stroking the cat. Peter could see the kitten's ribs poking out, and he knew the cat needed to be fed. 

Still stroking the kitten with one hand, Peter dug around in his pockets for food. He always had some with him since he was always hungry. He was able to dig out a few chunks of bacon he randomly had. He fed it to the kitten, who gobbled it up quickly and gratefully. The kitten mewed his content.

" There you go little guy. Now let's get you some more food, and milk I guess too. I've got some money for that," Peter stood up and started walking, planning to leave the cat there and come back. The store was just a block away. But the kitten had other plans. It meowed, as if saying 'wait up' and scrambled up Peter's pant leg, climbing into his hoodie pocket. 

Peter just chuckled and petted the kitten while he walked. He was thinking of names he could give to the kitten. Then one hit him. 

" How about I call you Sydney?" Peter looked at the kitten, who was staring at him with big, wide eyes. The kitten sneezed, shaking his head. Peter laughed.

" Sydney it is!" Peter got the idea from the sydney funnel-web spider. Of course Spider-Man would name his pet after a kind of spider. It was decided right then and there that Peter was going to keep Sydney. But first he had to text Tony about it.

Peter

Hey Mr. Stark, are any of the Avengers allergic to cats?

Tony

No

Peter

Sweet! ttyl Mr. Stark

Tony

Wait what did you do

Peter

Peter what did you do

Peeettteeeerrrrr

Peter put his phone back, smiling. He wasn't going to get anyone sick if he brought a kitten to the tower. Sydney was kind of whining, so Peter pulled Sydney out of his pocket. Immediately Sydney started climbing up Peter's arm and sat on Peter's shoulder, nuzzling up next to his neck. Peter took a picture and patted Sydney's head. 

Peter walked into the store and grabbed a small carton of milk, some turkey slices, and a small pack of small plastic cups. The cashier looked dog-tired and didn't even question. Peter paid and headed out. He almost ended up fighting Sydney to keep him away from the food until it was paid for. 

When they were out of the store and down a few blocks, Peter had Sydney hop down. He opened the package of turkey and handed it to Sydney, who instantly started eating it. This gave Peter time to get out a cup and pour some milk for the kitten. Sydney finished the turkey and turned to the milk. Peter, laughing, ended up having to pull the cup off of Sydney's face.

Peter started heading back to the tower, with Sydney perched on his shoulder, sitting up tall and proud. Occasionally Peter would fill up a cup with some milk and hold it for Sydney to drink. 

The odd pair arrived at the tower and walked into the lobby.

" Hi Miss Hannah!" Peter greeted, heading to the elevator. Hannah waved at him and smiled. Peter smiled back and walked into the elevator. F.R.I.D.A.Y took him up to the common room. Peter headed to the kitchen and grabbed a sharpie. He wrote ' For Sydney, drink it and he'll hate you ' on the carton of milk and shoved it into the fridge. He put the plastic cups in a cupboard and threw away the turkey wrapper. 

Peter gave Sydney a tour, letting him sniff everything and get a good look at it all. Peter took Sydney to his lab and slowly introduced the kitten to his spiders and robots. Sydney thankfully didn't try and attack any of them. 

Peter took Sydney back to the common room after the tour. Sydney started mewling, so Peter picked him up and set the cat on his shoulder. Sydney nuzzled into Peter's neck as he sat down and turned on the TV.

" Peter! Why is there a cat here?" Tony asked, walking into the common room. Peter turned and looked at his mentor sheepishly.

" I found him in the alley and gave him some affection, then I got him food. I just took him home from there," Peter said. Tony sighed.

" You can't just bring in homeless animals you randomly care for here!" Tony said. Peter just stared at him. 

" Okay but that's exactly what you did but with me," Peter retorted. Tony just stared at him.

" Okay yeah you can keep him. What's his name?" Tony asked.

" I named him Sydney after the sydney funnel web spider," Peter said cheerfully. Tony just rolled his eyes and chuckled. 

Peter introduced Sydney to all of the Avengers. Bucky seemed to get really attached, so Peter and Bucky were both co owners of the kitten. 

Sydney would often join Peter in his lab and use him as a climbing tower. He was a very loving cat, that's for sure. 

Hey guys! So that was pretty much it! I hope you liked it! Feel free to leave your thoughts below, but no pressure! 

Stay bootiful my doods
