101 Open MHA Gen Prompts

86. somewhere down the road - The final deadline for Nighteye’s predictions passes, and All Might lives.  He debates telling Izuku, as even though it would be a weight off the boy’s mind, he doesn’t want to jinx it.  He will still die eventually after all.

A Part Of The Past ~ JJK, KSJ [Request]

↬↬↬Word Count: 3.1K

↬↬↬Genre: Ansgt, fluff, happy ending, flashbacks,

↬↬↬Pairing: Jin x Fem!Reader x Jungkook

↬↬↬A/N: I know I don’t normally name the kids in my stories but I had to for context so I hope this is okay for you!

Taewoo was sitting on the swingset laughing loudly while you and Jungkook sat together on the porch, you had a mug of hot chocolate in your hands while you tried to focus on anything except for Jungkook speaking to you right now. He was only there because he was supposed to be taking Taewoo for the weekend and yet here he was talking to you about your past together,

"The past is the past Jungkook. It's supposed to stay there." You wished Jin was home right now, he would be able to stop this conversation from happening but he wasn't here he was at work. 

"But-" 

"No buts!" You yelled, you never wanted to yell in front of Taewoo he was only 5-years-old and didn't really understand why you and Jungkook were no longer together, he was far too young to know the real reasons. 

"Y/n please, it was a mistake." Jungkook pleaded with you but it just made you think back to that day, the day your whole world had come crumbling down around you and you were left to pick up all of the tiny pieces. 

Cleaning the house was something you did regularly but you didn't normally go into Jungkook's home office to clean, mostly because he told you there was no need for it. There wasn't much to do around the house though and you wanted it to be a nice surprise for Jungkook to come home to, Taewoo was down for his nap since he was only 1-years-old so you just headed into the office. The place looked awful it was a wonder how Jungkook ever got anything done while he worked from home on the weekends. Dust covered everything except for his desk where he worked and then there were scraps of paper thrown about all over the floor along with empty cups all over the place. 

"No wonder my cupboards are empty," You grumbled starting your cleaning by taking all of the cups down to the dishwasher in the kitchen, it was times like these you were thankful you had one. You grabbed some cloths and polish to clean up his room and set to work right away, you couldn't believe Jungkook could work in such a messy place. You never could, if your office was ever untidy at work you'd freak out and start cleaning it up or you wouldn't be able to concentrate properly. 

"I love it when you call me señorita-" You cut yourself off when you saw the bottom drawer of JUngkook's desk open frowning you walked over to close it when you noticed a brown bag inside. Normally you wouldn't be the one to snoop on your husband but there was a nagging feeling in your stomach telling you to check the bag, 

"Condoms?" You whispered closing the bag up there was nothing off about it. Sure you were married and had a son but you still used condoms since you weren't ready for another child yet but there was something underneath the bag. A small navy blue velvet box, the kind that jewellery came in. Slipping it open you let out a gasp seeing a silver band inside of the box with the biggest diamond you'd seen - bigger than the one on your engagement right. Was he planning on giving it to you as a surprise?

"Baby I'm home! " The front door slammed shut and you frowned getting up from the floor, Jungkookw as never home this early on a Friday he normally stayed late,

"I forgot something from my office, I'm just going to grab it quickly." He yelled out thinking you were somewhere else in the house but when he came into his office and saw you on the floor his mouth fell open. 

"What are you doing in here baby? I thought I said it didn't need to be cleaned?!" His voice was coming out as a yell and you frowned at him, why was he so angry at you for doing something so nice for him. 

"I was just trying to help-"

"Don't!" That was when he spotted you holding the box and he snatched it from your grasp throwing it down into the drawer and slamming it shut. He panicked as he realised you'd already seen it, he could feel himself beginning to sweat as you raised yourself up from the floor. 

"Relax Kookie, I'll pretend I've never seen it before when you give it to me." You cooed trying to comfort him but he didn't want or need your comfort right now so he stepped away before you could reach out to touch him.

"Stop it, stop being so nice and calm!" Taewoo started crying from the other room so you went to leave when Jungkook took your wrist into his, 

"Jungkook relax, it's just a ring it's not like you don't buy me things-"

"It's not for you." Your world fell apart at those four words,

"Not for me? Is it your mums birthday?" You couldn't remember the exact date but she would have called you before now to arrange a cafe date like she always did but Jungkook rolled his eyes at you. 

"How can you be so clueless to all of this?! The late nights? The coming home with lipstick marks? Are you that dumb or just too blinded by my money that you would put up with me cheating on you?" Your heart had officially been ripped from your chest as the words flew from his mouth as if they were that easy for him to say all of them to you and he didn't care. There were more questions in your head then there were answers but the cry of your son took priority over everything right now, you backed out of the room and rushed into the nursery to calm your screaming son down. 

"Baby it's okay, mummy's right here." You bent down to pick him up out of the crib and began to bounce him around on your hip while Jungkook watched from the doorway, it hurt for him to look at you after what he'd just admitted.

"So what is it? You're bored of us now?" You questioned calmly as you son began to drift off back to sleep in your arms, Jungkook stared down at the floor with his hands buried deep in his pockets as if this didn't bother him. That his 3-year marriage, a 10-year relationship and your 1-year-old child meant nothing to him as if it was that easy to just throw away.

"There's someone else-"

"No shit Jungkook, you're planning to propose while we're still together? You know that's illegal, right? You can't marry her until we're divorced." Your son was finally asleep in your arms but you weren't about to put him down, if you put him down there was a chance you wouldn't be able to stay as calm as you were right now.

"I was going to tell you, I haven't felt right about us in a very long time Y/n-"

"So instead of talking about what was wrong, you went to someone else?" You scoffed at him for acting like a teenager instead of a grown adult,

"Fine...You want a divorce you can have one." You took your son over to the changing table that was in the nursery and laid him down while you packed up clothes for him into a bag, 

"What are you doing?" Jungkook teared up watching as you began packing clothes into a bag for Taewoo,

"Leaving. You can invite whoever it is around and you can have our home, our life that we made, you can be happy." You mumbled trying not to cry in front of him, crying in front of him would show him how truly upset about all of this you were and you didn't want to give that to him. 

"Y/n-" He called out your name softly as if he was trying to say sorry for everything he'd done,

"No Jungkook, don't say my name like that, you don't get to say my name like that anymore." You snapped grabbing the changing bag and throwing it over your shoulder before taking Taewoo towards your bedroom, Jungkook followed in silence to see if you were really going to do it but he frowned when he watched you pull out a suitcase and begin to pack clothes into it. 

"I'll come back for more when you're not here, assuming I'm allowed to keep my house key until we split?" He sighed watching you lay Taewoo on the bed, he went to take hold of him but you stood in front of your sleeping son. 

"Leave him." Jungkook went to defend himself but you'd already had enough out of him that day, you began to slide clothes into the suitcase, deciding you would sleep in a hotel that would provide toiletries so you wouldn't have to bother with trying to get your own. 

"You're just going to take him with you? You have nowhere to go, he'll be better off here-"

"No Jungkook, you don't get to do that. You don't get the house, the money, the cars and everything and our son! You can see him whenever you want but I'm taking him." Maybe it was salty but you didn't care, you zipped the case up and began rushing to get out of the house, taking Taewoo and praying you knew exactly where the keys to your car were. There was a hotel just down the road you could be staying it and you'd never have to look at Jungkook again for as long as you needed. 

"Mum! Dad! Did you see that?!" You got up from the porch step leaving your mug abandoned there, the memories of that day were flooding into your head for the first time in four years and you didn't like it you'd only just gotten to a decent point in your life with Jungkook were you could stand to be in the same room as him you didn't want old memories to resurface like this. 

"What was it baby?" You bent down next to Taewoo who was pointing at a butterfly sitting on the swing next to him, it was on the chain that linked onto the frame, blue wings just there for everyone to see,

"He's beautiful baby," As Taewoo went out to touch the butterfly you stopped him, 

"You can't touch him if you do that he won't be able to fly anymore." Jin came through the backdoor to see you and Jungkook talking to Taewoo closely, 

"Why?"

"Well they have this dust on their wings-" Explaining this to a five-year-old was going to be pointless as he wouldn't understand, 

"Remember in Peter Pan he gave wendy the pixie dust? That's what it's like for this little guy if you touch him though it removes his dust and he can't fly." Your son and Jungkook began pouting to one another as Jungkook explained it in a way he would be able to understand, 

"Don't worry Mr Butterfly I won't touch you," You smiled weakly as your son got up from the swing and rushed over to Jin who was watching you, 

"DADDY!" Jungkook looked away, he hated the fact that your son called Jin dad but it was what Jin was. He'd adopted Taewoo when you got married but it wasn't like you told him to. He did it on his own. 

"Don't start Jungkook, he can call him dad if he wants to." You knew that look you knew what Jungkook thought about Jin but you didn't care, if you could be happy for him and his assistant he could at least pretend to be happy for you and Jin. 

"He doesn't call Micha mum," You rolled your eyes at him as he said that, 

"Because she doesn't act like a mum, name one time she's ever come to see him with you?" You weren't going to knock Jungkook he'd been the best father in the world despite what you and he had been through. 

"Come on, we'll go get you some juice," Jin said as he watched you struggling to keep your cool with Jungkook, he didn't know what it was that you were talking about but he trusted you enough to act like adults. Every time he looked at you it was like that first time he saw you all over again.

It was almost 3:30 am and Jin was walking around a 24-hour supermarket trying to make sure he had enough snacks for his staff members the next day. He was throwing a small party in the office he owned to celebrate a birthday for one of the staff members,

"Mummy will be right back, I know baby but grandma can look after you." He frowned hearing someone else active in the store, normally it was pretty empty except for the occasional worker who was stacking the shelves up for customers in the morning. 

"I'll grab his favourite, thank you Mrs Jeon." You sounded pained as you spoke down the phone and Jin came around the corner to see you standing there in a pencil skirt and a white blouse, your hair was thrown back as you frowned looking through the freezers. He walked closer to you trying to build up the courage to talk to you but he bailed, walking past you. 

"Erm...Excuse me?" He froze turning around to face you, you had a shy look on your face as you looked up at him he was significantly taller than you, 

"M-me? Me? Excuse me?" You laughed softly as he stuttered over his words but he couldn't help it he'd been wanting to talk to you but chickened out yet here you were, 

"Can you get me the triple chocolate chip ice cream, with fudge bits?" He looked up to where you were pointed and nodded his head reaching up with ease to grab onto the carton of ice cream for you, 

"Thanks, my son would kill me if I didn't come home with this." You laughed at yourself as if your one and a half-year-old son could kill you.

"You have a son?" You nodded your head at him going into detail about why it was his favourite before covering your mouth with your own hand, 

"Sorry, I overshare. He's just adorable-"

"No, don't be sorry! He sounds adorable, I've always wanted kids it must be nice for you and your husband," He hated that he'd said that, the moment the word left his mouth you looked at the floor instead of into his eyes and he felt like an idiot. 

"We're separated but it's great, my son is great." He smiled at you and began talking to you some more about your son. 

This conversation with Jungkook was pointless and it was going nowhere, 

"I don't want to hear it Jungkook!" You finally snapped as he began tearing up looking at you. Jin stood in the kitchen window ready to go out and help if you needed it but he knew you could hold your own. You weren't some weak woman that needed a man to defend her when you were perfectly capable of doing it all on your own.

"I love you." The words flew out of Jungkook's mouth and you just shook your head at him, you'd done everything over the last five years to try and get into a good space now that you had that he was just going to take it away from you again, 

"No! You don't get to do this to me Jungkook! We're happy! I'm married to Jin and you're married to Micha." You moved away from him as he went to reach out of your hand pleading with you to stop shouting about this, Jin came out onto the porch again and you looked up at him before looking back at Jungkook and holding your stare with him. 

"Did you forget that you were the one who tore apart our marriage?" You questioned him throwing your hands up in defeat as you stared him down, he looked away from you not have the courage to look back at you. 

"Did you forget that you were the one to run off and fuck someone else? You ruined our relationship Jungkook so don't for one second think I'm going to let you ruin mine and Jins." You spat at him finally having enough of keeping it all inside, your voice cracked as tears rolled down your cheeks. 

"We're happily married and have a child on the way, I'm sorry if things between you and Micha are rough right now but you make it work or you break up with her. You don't come crawling to me and tell me you love me." He was stunned at you, you'd never spoken to him like this even throughout the divorce when he filed under separation instead of adultery.

"Y/n-"

"No Jungkook, I let you get away with everything but this- This is too much."

"I'm sorry!" You frowned hearing him yell that, he hadn't said sorry even on the day of his wedding and he begged you to bring Taewoo along which meant you had to sit there while he married the woman he threw your marriage away for. 

"I'm sorry for everything, I just- seeing you and Jin together all of the time and Taewoo it makes me want us back-"

"We can't always get what we want Jungkook." He nodded in agreement and sighed. 

"I'm sorry...Can we at least try to be friends?" You nodded your head, being friends would be a push but you could make it work for Taewoo. He needed his father in his life even if you didn't exactly want that right now. 

"Friends." You agreed, looking at him and shaking his hand so you would be on the same page about everything again. 

Jungkook left that evening feeling super guilty for everything he'd done to you but having you yell at him like that brought him back to his senses and made him see how right you were about it all. 

"You okay?" Jin asked later that night when Taewoo was asleep, you were sitting on the porch swing with the ultrasound in your hand just looking at the baby, 

"I'm perfect, how was work?" He sat down next to you on the swing and handed you the perfect hot chocolate, 

"It was slow and boring, is the scan tomorrow?" You smiled leaning your head on his shoulder as you thought about how perfect your life was now with the perfect guy by your side.

Starker high school AU featuring fem!Omega!Tony and alpha!Peter where Tony is well known for being a real bitch to anyone who tries to court him. Peter knows better than to think he hates getting gifts.

Warning for references to domestic violence (Howard).

*

Peter watches Tony from across the hall trying mostly unsuccessfully to shove his stuff into his locker. He’s already in a bad mood that much is clear but when Justin Hammer walks up looking far too confident his mood appears to take a nosedive for the worst. He watches Tony turn away from trying to stuff his leather jacket into his locker to Hammer, aggression clear in his features but that doesn’t seem to deter Hammer any. Bad sign, Tony hates that but Peter leaves him to it because its almost funny to watch Tony tear his suitors to shreds and he’s mean when he gets going. Or at least it would be funny if people didn’t keep disrespecting Tony’s very clear and well known boundaries and if Tony didn’t sometimes go a little far in his vicious takedowns.

But he doesn’t really like Justin Hammer that much and neither does Tony, he’s not shy about saying it. So when he holds out a box Peter knows he’s about to go ape on this guy. MJ walks up beside him and shakes her head, “one, stop fantasizing about being the only one to tame that beast. He’s a privileged brat, get better taste. Two, privileged brat or not he’s preferable to Hammer so I want to see this,” she says, looking satisfied as Tony glares Hammer down.

“He’s not a brat,” Peter tells her, “he just doesn’t like jewelry and no one seems to get the point.” Or at least he’s pretty sure that’s what that is anyway but its hard to tell because omegas almost never get stuff that isn’t jewelry. Peter doesn’t get why that is when he’s never actually seen an omega wear any of it. Mostly they range from irate like Tony about it to mildly uncomfortable and unsure what to do with expensive things they don’t want like Liz. Either way Peter thinks its about time someone actually paid attention to what their crushes like and give them something that’s not stupid expensive that they might actually like. But that’s probably the fact that he’s too poor to do much more than get small things talking even if Liz agrees.

“Turn the fuck around right now,” Tony tells Hammer. MJ raises an eyebrow at him but they both agree that unwanted attention should earn a person a smack so Tony is actually being really polite right now according to those standards.

“I got you-” Hammer starts but Tony cuts him off.

“You could have Nicolas II the last Czar of Russia in that box and I couldn’t give two shits. Turn around and walk away,” Tony says.

Peter doesn’t mean to let out a sharp peel of laughter but its funny, okay? Tony turns to glare him down but softens slightly when he notices that Peter isn’t laughing at him specifically. He still turns away like he’s been stuck with a hot poker because Christ, Tony isn’t supposed to see him watching. “He’s not staring anymore,” MJ tells him helpfully so he risks looking back over.

Tony is unlucky enough to have Hammer’s gift all but shoved into his grasp and oh, Tony hates that too. Peter isn’t entirely surprised when Tony makes an offended noise and walks to the nearest trash can to chuck the box into it. “For ten fucking seconds I want some time to myself to stick my jacket in my locker and you fucks can’t even give me that!” he snaps as he storms off, unconcerned with the fact that his jacket is on the ground and his locker is wide open.

“Well that was a fun way to start the day,” MJ says. “Think we’ll get more entertainment by lunch?” Given the way people seem to lust after Tony Peter wouldn’t really be surprised.

Rhodey is used to people asking him about Tony, it happens all the time and he’d never say anything. Or at least he’d never say anything to anyone Tony didn’t already approve of so he’s gotten a reputation for being as difficult and bullheaded as Tony. Neither of them have high standards so its pretty sad that people consistently fail them but it is what it is. So when a lanky looking alpha walks up to him at least having the sense to look nervous Rhodey isn’t surprised. He’s not the usual type, that goes to whoever is overconfident enough to think they’ll actually get something from Tony and this guy does not look the type if his blush is any indication.

“Um, hey. I’m Peter. Parker. Peter Parker, yeah, um. God, this is bad I’m so glad Tony doesn’t have to- here,” he says, handing Rhodey a small box. “Tell him its not jewelry.” He turns to walk away looking pretty harassed but Rhodey is curious.

“Why’d you give it to me?” he asks before Parker can run off anywhere.

He doesn’t look impressed about it but he does turn to give Rhodey his attention. “Tony doesn’t like being handed stuff, but he seems to take stuff from you and Pepper. You seemed less scary than Pepper but I think maybe I was wrong and both of you are terrifying.”

He doesn’t mean to laugh a little but its kind of funny and he gave an answer Rhodey likes. “If he doesn’t want it I’ll give it back to you at the end of the day,” he tells Peter.

Peter nods and walks away with a soft ‘thanks’ and Rhodey decides he likes that too but he won’t tell Tony about it unless he likes the gift. Not that he would have even got it if he didn’t like Peter anyway, he knows Tony well enough to know when he won’t like someone and he’d probably appreciate the help weeding them out. He doesn’t even know why people try at this point, not when Tony is so damn nasty about his day being disrupted. He doesn’t know about anyone else but if he watched a guy toss a twelve thousand dollar necklace in a pond because he didn’t like it he’d probably think that guy was an asshole and avoid him forever.

He knows better than to think Tony is the asshole here, but without context he’s go to wonder what the hell everyone else is thinking. Its not like they all know Tony is as rich as he is when he doesn’t hint at it, and they don’t know that he hates jewelry because his asshole of a father used to give his mother something sparkly after he beat her, and they definitely don’t have any boundaries, but he still wants to know what goes through their mind. He wants to know what it feels like to be so confident he thinks he can win over an omega who actively hates jewelry with jewelry. It must be some kind of adrenaline rush mixed with a Darwin Award and he wants to know.

The fact that its so common is so weird to him too, its like no one here has basic observation skills. Sometimes he pretends like he’s an anthropologist trying to figure out how the students in this school work because their behavior is so counterintuitive. Other times he texts Pepper so they can privately roast whoever Tony harshly turned down now.

By the time he gets to lunch Tony reports three more people- and there seem to be unlimited people at this school Rhodey swears- who have tried to give him gifts. None of them anything but jewelry and Rhodey can do with a little key change to his day so he pulls out that Peter Parker kid’s box. “Here,” he tells Tony, who frowns at it for a second before looking kind of hurt. It takes a second for Rhodey to catch on and when he does he wrinkles his nose, “look man, if I wanted to court you I would have and I don’t. I just can’t look at you the same way after that time I witnessed you triple yourself,” he says. “Its from some kid named Peter Parker and he says its not jewelry so I figured it was promising.”

“Do I even want to know what tripling oneself is?” Pepper asks, coming up behind Rhodey and sitting beside him.

“Shit, piss, and puke in sync,” Rhodey and Tony say together, both sounding dismayed and a little disgusted. The look on Pepper’s face tells him he should be ashamed that this is information he has.

“I can’t believe I associate with you two,” she mumbles, shaking her head at least until she spots the box sitting in front of Tony. “What’s that?” she asks.

Tony shrugs, “don’t know but he survived Rhodey so I assume he doesn’t suck.”

“As long as its not another Sunset,” Pepper says, shaking her head.

It earns a small sigh out of Tony and he picks up the box, probably looking for a subject change. He looks exhausted with it already so that’s how Rhodey knows his reaction is genuine. He pulls a scrap of paper from the box and snorts before he starts laughing, cracking up the the point of doubling over and Rhodey would like to know what’s on that paper.

Pepper has the same idea because she snatches it. “Nicholas II the last Czar of Russia?” she reads, clearly confused.

Tony is already distracted by something else in the box because he’s staring at it with a smile on his face. Rhodey beats Pepper to snatching it this time and he smiles when he reads the pin too. “That’s cute,” he says, handing it to Pepper.

“Ah! the element of surprise. I don’t get the Czar thing but Tony clearly did so that and this pin make for a clever combination,” she says. “So you know this one has brains. Just make sure he’s not the type who thinks being clever every once and awhile is a replacement for a personality.”

“Ew, don’t ruin the only good gift I’ve ever gotten,” Tony tells her, taking his pin and scrap of paper back. “The Czar thing was me insulting Hammer. God, can you guys believe he tried to give me anything? I’d rather stick my dick in a bee hive.”

Rhodey and Pepper exchange a look because there might be something here and Rhodey, for one, wants to figure out what it is.

*

Tony finds Peter after school and quickly learns that he’s jumpy when he all but tosses himself nearly into his locker because Tony spooked him by accident. “You’re interesting, I don’t think I’ve met you before,” he says. He’s certain he hasn’t actually and Peter’s cute, in a boyish way. And he already knows he’s not a dunce so there’s that too.

“I um, you have actually. We’ve had like three science classes and two math classes together but I um, usually sit at the back so.”

Yeah, bad excuse because that’s where he sits too but that’s sweet of him to try and give Tony a reason for not noticing his existence. “Okay, so maybe I can be a little self absorbed. Cute gift though, the element of surprise thing was kind of clever.”

It seems to take Peter a few seconds to catch on to his own joke and that’s... weird. “Oh my god, its like I’m the element of surprise! Yeah, okay, I didn’t even think of that I just thought it was kind of cute and sarcastic and you like science so...” he trails off, wincing.

Its adorable and also telling. So he did put thought into it, just not the way Tony thought and that’s actually better for him. “Think you can come up with another gift by tomorrow?” he asks in maybe a little too cocky a tone. And then he kind of thinks of the implications and winces, “I um, I don’t really want stuff I just want to know that you like, give a shit about who I am. And uh, yikes, that wasn’t an improvement. You can just forget this ever happened,” he says, for some reason feeling the need to finger gun his way out of this, passing Peter quickly as he scrambles the hell out of there.

*

Peter doesn’t really know if Tony likes vinyl but he definitely likes AD/DC so he leaves it in front of his locker and figures Tony will make up his mind. In the meantime he finds Liz so he can focus on something that isn’t losing his mind or passing out. “If you were a sandwich what would you be?” she asks as he walks up. Ned looks mad beside her and that’s weird because Ned never gets mad.

“I don’t know, a BLT I guess,” he says.

Liz throws her hands up, “the only correct answer is a grilled cheese, why do you guys like in anarchy?”

“Meatball sub!” Ned says, staking his claim but Peter frowns.

“Ned, a sub isn’t a sandwich yours doesn’t even qualify.”

Ned looks offended about this, “Peter, its meat in bread. That’s the exact same as a sandwich, just because the bread is shaped different doesn’t mean its not a sandwich.”

MJ chooses then to walk over so Peter pounces on it, “is a sub a sandwich, MJ?”

She squints at him like he’s stupid, “no. Why is this even a question.”

“Liz lives in denial that if we were sandwiches the best option is meatball sub,” Ned explains.

That gets him another ‘what the fuck’ look. “First of all I maintain that a sub is not a sandwich and obviously the only right answer is grilled cheese.”

Peter frowns, “why does grilled cheese count as a sandwich?”

“It has ‘sandwich’ in the name Peter- a grilled cheese sandwich,” Liz points out.

“What was his answer?” MJ asks.

“BLT,” Peter in Ned say in sync.

“Savage,” MJ accuses and frowns for a moment, leaning around him. “Oh, and he’s about to get his penance, we should probably check ourselves before we wreck ourselves,” she says, nodding at something behind Peter. He turns to find Tony walking towards him with the record he left at his locker and winces because he doesn’t want to like... get smacked with it or something equally unpleasant.

When he turns back to his friend group he finds that they’ve all abandoned him like cowards but in their defense he wishes he could abandon himself like a coward too. But unfortunately he’s him so he can’t. “Um, hey,” he says once Tony is in ear shot.

Tony grins, “AC/DC!” he says excitedly.

“Oh, yeah. You like them, and like... most eighties rock but a lot of sixties and seventies stuff too. Why are you looking at me like that, you wear a lot of band shirts,” Peter says. Like a lot of them, but enough of them are AC/DC shirts that Peter assumes he has a preference.

“Oh, right. Yeah, I guess I do. Sorry, I’m just not used to people noticing really obvious stuff about me- I, you know what. Uh, thanks,” Tony says, scattering before Peter can say anything. From across the hall he has no less than six people staring at him in shock and Peter frowns.

“What? It wasn’t hard to find something he liked.” Which is true, but he’s at least somewhat benefitted by the fact that his competition seems to think trying the same thing over and over again despite atrocious results will work.

“I gave him like, twelve things!” the one guy says and Peter rolls his eyes.

“Ten bucks says it was all jewelry,” he mumbles to himself and walks away. He doesn’t get why people keep trying to throw shiny things at Tony when he obviously doesn’t like it.

*

When Tony finds the box he doesn’t expect much mostly because good things don’t seem to last where he’s concerned, so he’s pleasantly surprised by its contents. “That is the ugliest scarf I have ever seen,” some alpha a couple lockers down from him says, giving the scarf a distasteful look.

Tony doesn’t remember anything about her except that he can’t stand her. “Then you clearly don’t get the reference,” he snaps, putting the scarf in his locker before he goes to class.

Rhodey raises an eyebrow at him as he walks up but he says nothing as he sits down. “What, no rant about gifts today?”

He shakes his head, “no. People seem to be picking up on the fact that Peter is doing a better job than any of them. Today I got Four’s scarf.”

“Nice,” Rhodey says, grinning and giving a nod of approval. “Now that you have a not shit suitor I feel like I can finally say that I cannot believe you threw a twelve thousand dollar necklace in a pond because you didn’t like it. You could have pawned it,” he points out.

“And get money I don’t need? Let someone else find it and cash in and I thought you hated Killian anyway.” Rhodey had been the one to warn him off not that Tony needed a warning to stay away from Killian.

“Could have donated it to charity. And I don’t, which is why I laughed when you tossed it. But damn man, twelve grand. I can’t imagine having that much money to just throw aside for a courting gift.” He shakes his head but Tony is well aware there’s more to it than that. Its not like his being on the lower end of middle class is a secret, and Tony knows that Rhodey doesn’t really believe him when he says most omegas don’t actually want jewelry. Tony is pretty sure Rhodey thinks that’s a bias on his part and it is, but only because he has an active reason to dislike jewelry, not because omegas secretly do want jewelry.

But the pressure is there and Tony knows Rhodey has avoided dating because he can’t afford that kind of thing. He figures he’ll grow out of the pressure to perform courting in a certain way but that doesn’t make things suck less for him now.

“If Killian knew anything about me he would have donated it to charity himself. And even if I didn’t hate jewelry that thing was god awful, you can’t expect me to have liked that gaudy ass thing. It looked kind of like this hideous necklace my great grandmother snuck out of Italy when she fled fascism during World War Two.”

Rhodey snorts and cracks up, shaking his head. “Okay, I will give you that it was very ugly but it was also stupid expensive.”

“I didn’t know that before it was tossed and yes, I could tell that it cost money because I know what good jewelry looks like but also I wouldn’t have paid more than ten bucks for something that hideous. Someone designed it that way on purpose and they should be fired for their sins.” And that’s before he even gets into the mess that Killian is specifically. Rude, entitled, arrogant, a mean streak a mile wide, and a total inability to not go into full meltdown mode when he’s told ‘no.’ Tony learned his lesson when he was a freshman and Killian decided to hit on him with an uncomfortable amount of aggression and then got mad when Tony agreed to meet him elsewhere to get him the hell out of his face only to not show up.

Needless to say the ensuing meltdown led to somehow deciding to win Tony back, not that he ever had him to begin with, with jewelry. It’d been the first time he’d ever been given anything and the situation resembled the cycle he’s watched his parents go through a million times so closely that he kind of lost it a little. Admittedly it wasn’t the nicest thing in the world to throw the necklace in a pond and start shrieking but he also feels like, at least in context, the reaction wasn’t totally irrational. Just mostly.

“So Four’s scarf,” Rhodey says, transitioning away from Killian thankfully. “Not a bad choice, even if you prefer Ten.”

“What are you two on about?” Pepper asks, arriving to the conversation late.

“Doctor Who,” Tony says and fills her in on the rest. She also gives a nod of approval and its almost harder to impress her than Rhodey. Rhodey only wins out because he’s grown a protective streak for Tony and Pepper has it too, but she’s a lot less likely to go ham on someone at least publicly. Usually Rhodey is good at pretending not to be an impulsive moron but there’s something about Tonys presence that makes him lose a brain cell or two and do dumb shit like get suspended for punching Killian in the face. Twice.

*

Peter didn’t really think Tony would actually like any of the stuff he got, minus the record because he knows Tony likes the band, but it turns out he’s actually really good at this. Tony liked the other pin he got too mostly because ‘UM confusion’ on a pin is pretty much how he feels about this whole thing and he figured Tony felt similarly. And its cute and matches the other pin.

The last thing he expects is for Tony to put the pins on his jacket and wear the scarf he got him. What he expects less than that is the sheer amount of people asking him for advice on how to court Tony seems how his efforts are working. Which is why he finds himself on the top of a table in the cafeteria kind of annoyed that he even has to do this.

“Hey. Um. Hey!” he says a little louder, drawing more attention that time. “So um. You guys keep asking me for advice on how to court Tony but you guys like... really don’t need advice on that. You guys need advice on how to follow boundaries and not harass the shit out of people. And also really, really basic observation skills. Tony doesn’t like jewelry you idiots, how did you not realize that when he kept throwing stuff out? Are you guys stupid?” he asks, fully prepared to continue on this rant when he notices a teacher beelining their way over and he sighs. “Whatever, point is if you can’t figure out how to court the omega you’d like to maybe you should take that as a sign that you don’t like them, you like what they look like. Courting someone shouldn’t be so hard that no one but me I guess figured out that Tony hates jewelry. Didn’t think he’d have to write that one down for you guys considering he throws everything he gets out,” he says, throwing his arms up before he jumps down from the table only to nearly run into Tony.

He looks pleased with himself so at least there’s that. Peter mostly tries to avoid looking at his legs in that skirt because its rude even if he looks good. “Peter Parker I think I owe you a date,” he says, grinning.

Peter blinks, shocked. “Um. What?”

Tony smiles wider, “I said I owe you a date and seems how you’ve been doing all the work so far I’ll handle it.”

“That’d be great, thanks,” he says. “I’m not great at this.”

Behind Tony Rhodey snorts, “you were better at it than the whole school and don’t have a problem with Tony taking the lead to boot. He’s probably gunna marry you.”
