Chapter Text
Peter, Harley, MJ, Ned and Shuri played a game where they would have the opportunity to dress Peter up whenever he got into one of his moods, this was typically when he was getting stressed or something was going wrong. The first time they played this game was over the summer when Harley and Peter were going to Tony to a conference in California. Peter was working like crazy to perfect the project they were presenting and had forgotten about packing for the week long trip. This meant when the five of them were going to hang out Peter was going to have to pack, but he didn’t know what to bring inciting them to all pick out an outfit for him instead. Tony came in while they were choosing outfits and insisted on choosing one too. During the trip Peter had been complimented on how fashionable that it became the game. Now for about a week once a month The five of them would take some of their movie night and each pick out an outfit for Peter with Tony, Steve or Morgan coming in to pick the last outfit out. Tonight was one of those nights, The five of them sat on the ground in Peter’s room with a bottle in the middle to decide who got to pick out the outfit first. They would argue over who got to go first in the beginning that now they spin a bottle to decide.
“Hey Peter are you ready yet?” Called Steve from somewhere.
“Yea Pops were just getting ready, is it your turn tonight?” Peter responded as a head peaked around the corner of the door to reveal a smiling Steve.
“Dad and I played rock, paper, scissors and I won” grinned Steve as he came to sit down with the group.
“Pops this time please don’t make me look like an old man” Chuckled Peter. Since getting married and being out of the ice Steve’s style had evolved from khakis and button downs to include sweaters and more fashionable pieces.
“Pete, you looked so good, I couldn’t resist” Steve smirked back from across the group. Peter leaned down and began the activities. MJ was first followed by Steve, Harley, Shuri and Ned . Peter sat back as they picked out his outfits from head to toe giggling when someone would pull out something ridiculous but then put it back cause it was ‘too much’.
Monday morning came and MJ and Ned stood diligently outside the school waiting for Peter’s arrival. Unbeknownst to Peter the group had colluded this week to go all out making sure that Peter looked fashion week ready each day before their winter break. MJ was excited but you wouldn’t know she had put a lot of effort into the outfit even consulting a magazine for inspiration.
When Peter finally pulled up to the school to get out it turned heads. Steve decided to drive Peter in the Camaro again claiming he was going to miss the car while they were away but MJ had asked him to, knowing it would complete the look. Peter climbed out of the car wearing a maroon short sleeve collared shirt with black and white stripes and sea foam pants with a pair of white converse and his ‘fancy backpack’ as his dad called it, a clean North Face he typically saved for trips so he wouldn’t lose it if he had to be Spiderman out of the blue, and a pair of Raybans with his Stark Watch and the bracelet Nat gave him which he’s pretty sure has a tracer in it but has yet to ask.
“Looking good SR” MJ had taken to calling him SR for Stark-Rogers after finding out his last name wasn’t really his last name.
“MJ don’t you think this all a bit much?” Peter asked as he adjusted the shirt and hair for the third time since getting out of the car.
“Pete you look great don’t worry” Steve called as he rolled up the window and pulled away.
“Also why couldn’t I wear a jacket?” Peter asked, shivering in the December cold.
“I said you could bring a jacket, you just couldn’t wear it into the building” MJ responded, smirking. They turned to go into the building, Peter getting a chill from the feeling of so many people looking at him, today was even worse cause people could see muscle definition in his arms.
“Yo Penis whats with the get up?” Flash yelled from across the hall “steal some clothes so you don’t look so poor?” Flash did this essentially every time Peter wore something noticeably expensive but never for his basic jeans that Tony insisted being from the same place he got his or the button downs that despite looking old were new and even more expensive sometimes then his jeans.
“Just ignore him Peter” Ned commented as they walked to their lockers.
“It's just annoying cause we all know but whatever” Peter replied pulling out his phone to see if Harley responded to the picture of his outfit yet.
“MJ it's cold, when can I put on the sweatshirt?” whined Peter as they entered the classroom.
“Never” MJ responded, smirking as Peter rolled his eyes. The rest of the day passed without incident.
Peter rolled out of bed the next morning going to the next outfit that had been picked out for him, today was his pops. When Peter looked at the outfit he was pleasantly surprised that he didn't have to wear an outfit like the pictures of his pops when he was first pictured in this century.
“Morning Underoos, looking good” Tony commented as he entered the kitchen Steve was getting Morgan ready for the day. Peter was wearing black skinny jeans, a jean jacket, with a black shirt and a pair of black combat boots with his glasses and a simple gold chain. But today you could see the other necklace Peter wore of St Elmo that his pops gave him when they found out about Spiderman.
“Thanks, I’m kind of surprised Pops picked this out” Peter responded as he made himself a bowl of cereal.
“Oh cause of how he used to dress?” Tony asked. Peter just nodded “Well after we started dating and he was able to really go shopping and see what out there his style got a lot better. He even picks out my outfits a lot, he has a way with colors.” Tony replied, smiling at a memory as he took another sip of coffee.
“Bye Pops, Bye Morgan love you both” Peter called as he got on the elevator waving goodbye to Tony. Happy drove him to school.
Once again MJ and Ned stood patiently waiting for Peter to arrive at school so they could see his outfit of the day. When Peter got out of the car he once again turned heads. Peter was thankful he wasn’t in such a flashy car this time. When he walked up to Ned and MJ he did a little spin showing off the look of the day, even lifting his foot up to show them off which made MJ choke on the coffee she was drinking. Peter and Ned’s heads shot up looking at her to make sure everything was ok before they walked into the building to go to class. Once they were in the classroom MJ asked Peter to show her the bottom of his shoes. Peter chuckled knowing exactly where this was going to go.
“MJ they are what you think they are which is why I won’t be taking them off my feet, especially with gym class” Peter shook his head chuckling but before he could put his foot down a voice erupted from behind them.
“Penis Parker did you go out and steal those shoes or did you buy a pair of knockoffs and paint the bottoms red?” Flash jabbed, going to grab at Peter’s foot who quickly put it down.
“Flash you can think whatever you need to think” Peter responded turning back to MJ and Ned rolling his eyes. What Peter didn’t know was their teacher was listening and his interest was piqued, never noticing before the monthly occurrence of Peter blatantly wearing expensive and flashy clothing and was concerned how Peter was getting such goods.
Wednesday was different Harley and Peter were going out after school on a date to the New York Hall of Science because Harley was going to make sure everything was up to Tony’s standards as Stark Industries had a new exhibit there, it was also Harleys turn to chose Peter’s outfit which meant it was going to be something similar to what peter usually wears, or was it.
“I look ridiculous!” Peter cried as he entered the kitchen. Steve and Tony looked at Peter giving him a once over as Morgan burst into a fit of giggles.
“Little Miss” Steve chided “Peter, hon you look great” Peter looked down at himself, he was going to kill Harley. He was wearing black tapered slacks with a pair of balck shiny dress shoes, a white button down with a black tie and a grey sweater over top with his glasses again.
“Dad I look like freaking Harry Potter”
“Language” Tony cried covering Morgan’s ears and laughing. Steve swatted his arm with the spatula he was holding.
“You don’t look that bad Pete” Steve responded “You are able to somewhat pull off the look so don’t worry!” Steve gave a thumbs up before returning to flipping pancakes.
Happy smirked as Peter got into the car before driving them to Midtown. Today however Peter asked to be dropped off around the block so he could go in the other entrance and hopefully avoid some unwanted attention. Peter texted Ned and MJ the plan telling them he’d meet them in first period. Peter called Harley as he walked into the building but he was still asleep so Peter left him a message saying he was going to kill him later for this. When Peter entered the class room a few people giggled but MJ broke into a full on laugh while Ned tried to restrain himself.
“Hey Penis Parker, sorry I mean Wannabe Harry Potter Penis Parker you're looking absolutely magically stupid today. You and Harry are quite alike you know, both orphans nobody wants. Only difference is you have no money.” Flash remarked as the bell rang. The rest of the day passed with jabs being made at Peter about his outfit but they were all in ‘good fun’ as they would say.
Finally Peter was on the way of the building with Ned and MJ going to loosen the tie and outfit when he remembered he had his date with Harley meaning he had to keep wearing the outfit and he groaned.
Peter made eye contact with Harley who was standing in front of his truck wearing a matching sweater and pants but decided to keep his tie loose and sneakers let out a loud whistle as the trio got closer.
“Harley, stop” whined Peter who rolled his eyes after giving Harley a once over.
“Sorry babe, you just look like what I picture in my dreams” Harley responded, making Peter go bright red to which Harley enveloped him a hug.
“Get a room” Ned responded as he smiled, his friend had been through a lot but this year and harley really made it seem like it was on the up and up.
“Keener, you may be smart but your fashion sense is impeccable” MJ comment without looking up from her phone.
“Thank you MJ, I could not have done it without Harry Potter and Peter’s looks. Now if you will excuse us we have a date” Harley responded opening the door for Peter who rolled his eyes as he got in.
The date went well and Peter no longer minded the outfit after Harley’s reaction to it.
Thursday was a good day, it was one day closer to the Friday and one day closer to the vacation they were leaving for on Sunday. Today was Shuri’s turn which usually meant something really geek chic as Morgan once put it. Peter pulled on the button down he got cause it didn't have the company's emblem on the outside but Peters always suspected his dad had it removed for him. On top he pulled on a sweater that matched the blue with in the shirt a lovely brooks brothers sweater that matched one his pops had with khakis and sneakers. Shuri left a note saying to wear his old glasses and ruffle his hair like he's been in the lab. Peter chuckled as he complied with the directions sending Shuri a picture before he left for the kitchen.
“Morning” Peter called as he walked into the kitchen. Steve turned to greet Peter as Tony looked up from his coffee and Morgan ran over to give her brother a hug. Peter picked her up and brought her back, depositing her on her chair as she giggled.
“Have you started packing for the trip yet?” questioned Steve from where he stood making Peter’s smoothie.
“No I’m going to tonight, I even put it on my calendar” Peter responded happily as he made grabby hands at the toast Tony was eating. Tony rolled his eyes and handed over the other piece, knowing Peter doesn’t eat enough despite never being seen without food.
“I’ll even show you a few outfits but I gotta go” Peter yelled back after grabbing his smoothie from Steve. A half hour later Peter was hopping out of the car waving goodbye to Happy and stubbing his toe on the sidewalk. Peter looked down and saw the small but noticeable scuff mark on his shoe. When the trio finally made it to class Peter tore off his shoe getting to work on removing the scuff mark.
“Peter” whispered Ned “are those the shoes I think they are?” questioned Ned who was Peter, Harley and Shuri when they bought the shoes, MJ had been at a family thing.
“Yes” Peter responded “They’re Shuri’s favorite shoes and she said they went perfect with the outfit” Peter whisper yelled back. Peter was so engrossed he hadn’t noticed Flash come into the room and made a bee line for Peter snatching the shoe out of his hand and inspecting the shoe for the authenticity label which he saw. Peter groaned knowing what was going to come next was not going to be fun.
“Flash give me my shoe back” Peter said nicely trying to grab them back.
“Parker did you steal these, that’s the only explanation for why you have these shoes, I couldn’t even get these shoes. Only uber wealthy and friends of the family could get these” Flash gaped holding the limited edition Nikes which were a collaboration. In reality Shuri pulled a few strings and got them for him but Flash would never believe that.
“Flash give him his shoe back” the teacher called from the front of the room. Flash looked deflated and gave it back to Peter who finished scrubbing away the scuff and putting the shoe back on. The day was fine and it was the first day Peter never got cold and mentally reminded himself to say thank you to Shuri next time he saw her. Before Peter went to bed he realized he forgot to pack deciding he would do it tomorrow. Patrol had gone longer than he had planned.
Peter jumped out of bed excited it was the last day before break and Ned chose his outfit which was always fun and a reference to one of the shows or movies they watched. When Peter entered his closet and looked he realized this week was anything but that. In Front of him laid a pair of ripped black skinny jeans, a grey shirt with a short sleeve button down with various blues and a pair of white vans. Ned insisted he buy last the time they were at the mall. The last part Peter groaned about several chains Peter had laid in front of him including the one his dad bought him as a joke after they all discussed what their rapper names would be when Ned and MJ came over for a movie night. It was a gold chain that said Lil S-R but was pronounced Sir. Tony had thought it was so funny he had it made for Peter and made him walk around with it for a month after claiming it was better than a name tag as everyone called him Little Sir. Peter smiled at the memory as he entered the kitchen.
“Peter you’re wearing your chain, I love it!” commented Tony who had been so excited to give it to him.
“Yea yea” Peter responded grabbing his breakfast and heading for the elevator. “By all see you later. Love you”
As the car pulled up to school Peter noticed Ned and MJ standing by the stairs with their phones out. Peter knew Ned was going to be excited about this outfit especially since Peter actually wore the chain instead of laughing and leaving it at home. Peter got out of the car and Ned ran up with his phone video of him and yelling lil SR what do you have to say about your dad. Peter laughed responding
“No comment” and shielding his face from the camera as he's seen his dads do so many times before.
“Alright alright let's see the fit” laughed MJ who took a picture to send the Shuri. “Not too bad SR you can sorta pull it off”
“Come on let's go in” Peter responded laughing. Peter felt people staring and whispering again but it was not only about Peter’s chain but his physique, the shirt was a bit tighter than he had originally realized somewhat revealing the defined muscles underneath.
When they entered the classroom laughing everyone turned and stared at them. Peter did his best to ignore them opting to continue the conversation until Flash came up and tried to rip the chain off his neck to much avail. Tony had insured the chain couldn’t come off when he had it made as well as a tracker to ensure they always knew its location.
“What the hell is this Penis, who's lil SR cause that's sure as hell not you” Flash spat at Peter as he continued to try and rip the chain off. Peter backed away a bit more forcefully than necessary causing Flashes arm to yank making him even more angry. Flash sulked away and the teacher took notice. As class was ending his teacher requested Peter stay as she had to talk to him.
“Peter you need to tell me where you got that necklace cause it looks far from fake.” His teacher asked with a tight lip smile.
“Ma’am my dad got it for me” Peter responded in a small voice confused by what was happening.
“Peter I’m concerned you’re lying so I’m going to contact your guardian” his teacher responded, giving him a small smile.
“You mean my father?” questioned Peter annoyed she was buying into the orphan crap Flash spewed. Peter was fed up with it, he loved his family and friends and was annoyed anyone was willing to say he was lying.
“Sure” she responded looking almost annoyed.
Later on in the day Peter was called down to the office and a chorus of oohs erupted with Flash going so far as to say Penis Parkers finally getting in trouble like he deserves. Peter shook it off and headed to the office standing in the room was his pops looking pissed off. Peter sulked into the office giving Steve a half-hearted hello.
“Peter what's going on?” Steve asked scratching at the beard that was still in place just trimmed since November.
“Ah Peter, Mr. Rogers come in” Principal Morita motioned and the two followed. “Now you’re probably wondering why you’ve been called in today” Steve nodded annoyed it was taking so long and he still didn’t know “Well Peter your?” Steve looked furious now.
“Son” Steve finished for him, his hand tightening around Peter’s shoulder just enough that if he didn’t have super strength it would hurt.
“Your son had been accused of stealing by another student and a teacher is concerned it has happened before” Morita continued. Steve chuckled knowing his son would never steal going as far as ensuring everything he’s ever borrowed was returned to their rightful owner, once crying when he forgot to bring a book from the library back to school to return.
“What was he accused of stealing” Steve asked feigning concern
“Most noticeably the chain his wearing Mr. Rogers. Do you know how Peter came to possess the item?” Morita questioned. Steve shifted in his seat before responding.
“Of course I do, my husband, I helped pick it out with him” Steve responded
“Then why does it have nothing to do with Peter?” Morita asked before holding back.
“If you must know it is a play on our last names and what my husband’s employees refer to Peter as” Steve responded to his annoyance coming through. Steve readjusted his ball cap and the fake glasses he always wore when he had to go into Peter’s school.
“Mr. Rogers, this is not the first time Peter has come to school with costly items according to his teachers it's usually for a week at a time before Peter returns to normal clothing or what he usually wears. One student so graciously documented this week's outfits noting his total came out to a couple thousand dollars not including the chain” Steve rolled his eyes at the principal before responding choosing his words carefully.
“Well Principle Morita as you know our family donates a fair amount of money to the school each year which should give you the idea we’re comfortable and if we chose to give our son certain things it should be none of your concern now if we’re done I’m going to take Peter shopping” Steve smirked at the principle before standing up and wrapping an arm around Peter and taking his bag.
“Pops are you serious?” Peter asked, hiding his excitement.
“Now son what does Captain America always say… it's never ok to lie” Steve responded before laughing and holding Peter tighter. Flash gaped at the sight of Peter walking out to the school with a tall large man laughing.
Peter finally packed for their vacation that night happily including some of the new things he bought that day. Peter liked dressing up and looking good after all he was the one to pick out a majority of his clothes in the store he just felt it was easier to dress how he does during school so he didn’t get questions saving his nice and fashionable outfits for weekends, going out to dinner and vacations.
