Peter soon lost himself in the work, occasionally bringing himself out of it to ask Tony for some help. This was exactly the kind of distraction he had needed. Just him and Tony, working on a Spiderman upgrade, He didn’t think about what had happened earlier that day. His brain was focused on science, not emotions. And that was just what he needed. No more pain or grief or feeling overwhelmed. Just him doing something he loved with the person he admired. He didn’t even realise that Tony wasn’t actually working on his own thing. Whenever he glanced up to ask something he could see the hologram from the arc reactor, sl he just assumed Tony was working when he wasn’t helping him. Those were also the moments his hands let go of his tools and grabbed his milkshake. He didn’t even realise he was doing it, his mind too focused on his work. It had become a sort of routine. Tony always made sure he had something to drink when they were working, and in the beginning he’d have to remind Peter to drink. He would then start drinking whenever he asked for help or advice, the moments he wasn’t working on something and his hands were free to do something else. Now he didn’t even think about it anymore. By the time Tony broke the silence with something not science related he had almost finished his milkshake.<br/><br/>For a moment Peter was confused, not knowing what Tony was talking about, but then it dawned on him and he looked surprised. Tony never talked much about when he was young. Peter knew some of the basics - Tony didn’t like his dad and Jarvis practically raised him - but he never asked. He just assumed Tony would tell him things of he wanted to. Every so often, like now, Tony would mention something about real Jarvis. Peter liked hearing about him. It sounded like he had genuinely cared about Tony, and it was clear Tony had loved him. Peter didn’t know the details about Tony’s relationship with his father, but he was glad that he had had at least Jarvis to look up to as a father figure. Knowing that AI JARVIS addressed him the same way real Jarvis had addressed Tony made Peter feel giddy. He saw Tony as a father figure, and it almost felt like JARVIS knew and approved of it. “Oh, I don’t mind. I was just surprised.”<br/><br/>The door to the lab opened and Bruce walked in. He smiled at Peter and Tony. “Hey Peter, Tony. I hope I’m not interrupting.” Peter shook his head. “It’s okay, dr Banner, you’re not interrupting. What are you doing here?” Bruce glanced at Tony before looking back at Peter. “Tony invited me to come down and work on my research. Is that alright with you?” Peter smiled. “Yeah, ofcourse!” He then turned back to his own work as Bruce got settled at his own workbench and started working. To anyone else it would seem like he was completely focused, but Tony would be able to read him well enough to see Bruce was keeping an eye on the two of them. Both to keep an eye on Peter, and to make sure Tony was alright.
