Avengers Imagines (Part One)

Peter Parker X Stark!Reader - I Found Out

A/N - This chapter is based on the song 'I Found Out' by The Pigeon Detectives. For this chapter to make sense, Peter and the Reader were both legally adults before the snap, and continue to be after it's reversed. Also, Tony doesn't die because that would make this not make sense. I hope you all enjoy it.

Sneaking around with Peter had been all well and good when you were certain you wouldn't be caught. Sure, your dad was a genius, but he would never have been smart enough to recognise that you were dating his intern right under his nose. Peter had gotten pretty good at climbing through your bedroom window of an evening and disappearing before any of the other Avengers would wake up.

It wasn't until Peter had returned from the blip that your dad had started to have his suspicions. You'd been so miserable before, moping around and keeping to yourself more than he had ever seen before. He'd grown so worried about you that he'd sent you to a therapist in hopes of breaking you out of your funk but nothing had seemed to work. And then everyone had come back. Now, don't get him wrong; he was happy to see you smiling again. His sweet, bubbly, little girl had come back and there was nothing he would have wanted more. Except for when he glanced over at you once everyone had returned and had found you clinging to Peter like you thought he would disappear again the second you let go.

Tony liked Peter; that was never going to be an issue. In fact, there was no one else that he could have imagined you falling for. But you'd been going behind his back and keeping secrets from him, and that was a big no-no.

One evening, not too long after everyone had returned to earth, Peter had snuck into your bedroom as usual. Within moments he'd been under the covers and pulling you close against his chest.

"Hey," you murmured. You'd already been half-asleep when he'd texted you that he was coming over, and now you were fighting against your heavy eyelids in an attempt to stay awake. 

Peter hummed, leaning in to press a kiss against your shoulder. "Hey beautiful," he uttered softly against your skin. You could feel the smile spreading across his lips. This had become pretty routine since life had gone back to normal and there was nothing in the world that brought either of you so much joy that just laying together.

You twisted in his grip, allowing yourself to look up at his face. He truly was the most handsome man you had ever set eyes on, although you were certain you were a little bias in his favour. "Pretty," you started, your voice still a little groggy as you reached up to run a finger over his cheek.

A snort of laughter escaped Peter, and soon enough he was leaning down to press his lips to yours in a sweet kiss. "You're so much nicer to me when you're sleepy," he chuckled as he pulled away, watching as you stuck your tongue out at him.

Your happy moment was silenced when there was a knock on your door and your entire body went rigid. Peter shifted, climbing out of your bed and moving slowly across the room to where he had dumped his clothing. 

"Y/N? You up?" your dad called out, his voice clear as day through the door. Your eyes widened as Peter glanced over at you, looking a little lost as you placed a finger on your lips to keep him quiet. "I can see your light under the door," he added, and you released a small sigh.

You were out of your bed a moment later, shoving Peter towards the window as he finished forcing his leg into his jeans. "Just wait outside; he won't be here long," you whispered, pressing another kiss to his lips as he nodded. "I'll just be a second," you called out to your dad, watching as Peter disappeared out of the window.

"Come on, Y/N. I'm getting old out here," your dad called back, and a small burst of laughter escaped you as you made your way over to open the door. "Can I come in?"

You nodded, stepping out of the way to let him into your room. "What d'ya need?" you started, moving to sit down on your bed.

"What? I can't just come and see my daughter?" You raised an eyebrow at him, watching as he began to smile. "I wanted to talk to you about some relationship stuff," he finally muttered, watching as your face contorted in horror.

"I'd rather not have the birds and the bees talk, if that's okay with you," you started, causing him to laugh.

Tony shook his head, turning the seat at your vanity around so that it faced you and making himself comfortable. "I just want to know that you're being safe," he uttered. "I know Peter's a good kid, but-"

"Peter?" you yelped, your voice a little higher than you had hoped it would be.

Your dad snorted, shaking his head. "Come on, Y/N. I'm not stupid. The kid's been sneaking onto Avengers property for months and you think I wouldn't notice. I've basically got a tracker on him."

You bit down on your bottom lip, your cheeks heating up. "Oh," you murmured, attempting to find anything to say that wouldn't leave you flustered and lost. 

"I'm not here to tell you not to see him," he started again, releasing a sigh. "I just want to make sure you know that I'm okay with it. He can come by whenever he wants, just no more sneaking in through the window." He paused for a moment, attempting to bite back a chuckle. "I had to stop security from shooting him down the other night."

"Thank you," you murmured, launching yourself forward to wrap your arms around his neck and pulling him into a tight hug. 

A small smile spread on Tony's lips as he pulled you even closer. "I'm just glad you're happy, Princess," he uttered, pressing a kiss to the side of your head before releasing you. He got up, starting towards your bedroom door to leave, before hesitating for a second and turning back to look at you. "You ought to let him back inside. He'll freeze to death hanging about out there for too long," he added with a grin, causing you to release a shocked laugh as he left.
