Summary: Peter discovers fanfiction. But not any fanfiction, nope, he discovers Irondad and Spiderson fanfictions. And he loves them.

(Narrated by me because I said so)

▪▪▪▪▪

We know Spider-Man and Iron Man were both incredibly famous super heroes, so they obviously had fans out there in their world. This also means that there were memes made about them, and probably fanart too. And, surely, fanfiction.

Come on, you can't tell me none of the Avengers never found at least one fanfiction about themselves! Makes no sense.

But Peter did, once.

It wasn't an accident, he had been told by his Instagram followers to download an app called Wattpad (abort mission, fandom. I repeat, abort mission), so he did.

He had been told to look for something: "Irondad". He had no idea what that was, but due to the amount of people telling him about it, he was certainly curious.

It was not what he had expected.

He wasn't even expecting anything, but he would have never thought about it. He hadn't been hoping it was that. He had definitely never dreamt of it. Nope.

Okay, that may be false (and it's not because I, the author, wanted it to be. No, that's canon.)
(Fight me.)

And so Peter discovered the world of fanfiction, following the advice given by his fans and therefore avoiding "lemon" and "smut", whatever that was.

(No, I don't know what that is.)

(Alright, maybe I do, but Peter doesn't have to know about it.)

(Moving on...)

As happens to every person who discovers fanfiction, Peter became addicted. Soon, he had his library filled with fanfics of Irondad and Spiderson, but who could judge him? Clearly not us.

The problem started when he read at night in the tower. Now, he wasn't stupid enough to read fanfiction about Tony and him while ignoring real Tony, so he almost never used his phone when they were together. But at night? No matter if he was in his apartment or in the tower, he always read.

That in itself wasn't the problem. No, the problem was that Tony randomly decided to go check on him one night, only to find him using his phone.

"Peter," Tony started cautiously, "what are you doing?"

Said teen, who had been too engrossed in a story to pay attention to his Spidey Sense, snapped his head to the man and quickly blocked his phone. His cheeks flared in the dimly lit bedroom.

"Nothing," he stuttered out.

Tony's eyes went wide. He tried to say something but no words came out. "You-? Um-"

Peter's eyes widened too when he realized what Tony thought he had been doing. "No! Not that. That's disgusting!" He shuddered. Tony relaxed.

"Then what were you doing?"

"Uh-" Peter panicked. "I was texting my girlfriend!"

Tony stared at Peter. "You don't have a girlfriend."

The spiderling stared back at him. "And how would you know that? I may have recently gotten a secret girlfriend, for all you know."

"Peter," Tony started slowly, "you're gay."

Peter blinked.

"Damn, you right."

Silence.

"So you're not going to tell me what you were doing?"
