Disclaimer- I got inspiration from a line at the end of a one shot that @koi_kay wrote. It was "Hidden - Story 7" in their "Peter Parker (With A Side Of Avenging) Field Trip Oneshots." I also own none of the characters and some of the plot. That is all marvels amazing doing.

Peter POV
Hi. I'm Peter Parker. I'm also Spider-Man. I was adopted by Tony Stark when my aunt died last year. I still get sad about it sometimes but my crazy family, the avengers, have helped me. And yes, the avengers are my family; and I love them, I really do. But sometimes, they are so annoying. Like right now. I am currently being lectured by Dad, Steve, and Nat. Loki is also here but he is just standing off to the side, smirking at my situation.
Why are they lecturing me, you may ask? Well, funny story. Actually, there's nothing funny about it. See, I've been bullied since I was a freshman here at Midtown Tech, by this kid named Flash. Earlier, I came home with a black eye and a busted lip. Aunt Tasha saw my face before I could hide, and the story came out.
They have been lecturing for the last 12 minutes about how I should tell them this stuff. I look over at Loki pleadingly. Finally, he steps in.
"If I may suggest a solution. I could accompany the spiderling to school and protect him," Loki says eloquently.
"NO! I mean- that won't be necessary!" I say quickly. This is NOT the interference I wanted.
"You do not have a say in this, Mr. self-sacrifice," Dad glares at me. "Loki, I like that idea but how do you suggest you protect Peter's identity?"
In response, Loki turns into an emerald green snake. He is about the length of my arm. He pops back into human form.
"And how am I supposed to explain a snake following me around?" I say dryly.
"I could be your... what do you mortals call it? Ah, yes. Emotional support animal. As far as I am aware, they cannot say no to you bringing an emotional support animal (a/n- I have no clue if this is true don't quote me on it.)" Loki says.
"That's great Loki!" Tony exclaims. "Though I'm trusting you to keep Peter safe. One scratch and I will... ground you!"
"You can't ground a god," Loki tells him.
"Oh right. Well, I will take away your phone," Tony tries again.
"I don't have a phone," Loki says amusedly.
"Well... well... I will take away uhm," Tony is grasping at straws now. "No more... PETER!"
"Peter?" Loki says confused but also worried about his rights to see the young cild.
"Yeah! You won't be allowed to see Peter for a week!" (a/n - Loki and Peter's relationship is purely platonic. Loki is way older.)
"Dad! I'm fine. Loki can protect me and I can protect myself," I butt in.
"Mhm. So that settles it then. Loki you will go to school with Peter as an emotional support  snake. Peter, no ditching Loki, though I have no doubt Loki could easily find you again," Dad says.
"Ugh!" I sulk off to my room.

**********Time skip named Bob. He just wanted to see the stars :'-( **********

I wake up and for a moment I am happy I get to go to school. Then I remember the events of last night. I sigh, dread filling my stomach. I just know somethings gonna go wrong, either because of my spider sense or my famous Parker Luck. I got ready for school, quickly, hoping to sneak out before Loki remembers. My plan is foiled when he shimmers into existence in front of me.
I groan. "Come on spidering," he says. We walk to the subway, and Loki changes his appearance to a random teenager. When we arrive at school Loki changes once again, this time into a snake. He slithers around my neck and we walk into my school.
At first, everything is normal, but then people start to notice the giant snake I'm holding. Some scream and scamper backwards, others stand petrified and fascinated.
I just keep walking towards my locker like this is completely normal. Soon, Ned comes up to me.
"Woah. That's a giant snake. Wait! WHY IS THRE A GINAT SNAKE ON YOUR ARM!!!" Ned yells.
"Oh this is Loki, my emotional support snake," I wink when I tell him the name and his eyes widen.
"You're telling me Loki turned into a snake to be your emotional support animal?! Ned whispers very loudly.
"Shhhh! And yes this is Loki but he's here to make sure Flash doesn't bother me." I tell him and Loki moves his head up and down.
"Wow. That's so cool!"
"Yeah, now let's go to class. Mr. Harrington hates when we're late," I say.
As I enter the classroom, many people shriek including Mr. Harrington. "PETER! What is that?!" He shouts, standing on his desk.
"It's my emotional support snake, sir," I say calmly.
"Oh. W-well then. I-I guess it's f-fine then. So today we will be learning about...," Mr. Harrington stutters.
The rest of class is Mr. Harrington lecturing the class while glancing nervously at me.
I hear Loki hissing in my ear and it sounds like he's laughing.
MJ doesn't care much about Loki but seems to be drawing Mr. Harrington in her "people in distress" journal.
Finally class ends. Everyone rushes towards the door, pushing and shoving, but back away when I walk towards them.
I'm at my locker getting my books when I hear a yell.
"PARKER!" Ugh. Why today Flash? Your gonna be killed. He walks towards me. "Let me see that snake. Snakes love me.
"Not this one, " I think to myself. Out loud I shout "Flash no! He doesn't like other people," I try to warn him. Emphasis on try.
He reaches out for Loki and grabs him. For a second Loki just let's Flash hold him.
"See? He loves me."
Then, Loki turns back and suddenly, Flash has his arms around Loki, who is fully dressed in his armor. Flash freezes, then yelps as Loki is holding a knife to his throat.
"Blah it's me!" Loki yells, then punches Flash into a locker.
I laugh, remembering the story Thor told me about when they were eight and Loki disguised himself as a snake. My smile fades when I realize everyone knows my snake is actually Loki, and that he is currently holding a knife to Flashed throat, who's against a locker. I rush to them and try pulling Loki back.
"Loki stop! I'll get in trouble and everyone will think your evil again!" I shout at him.
He glances at me, sighs, then lowers his knife. He starts to walk away but turns to face Flash once more.
"Don't you ever hurt my brother again," he says in a threatening voice.
Flags nods, and then Loki is gone, fading out of view.
Let's just say Flash never bothered me again.
