Poor Little Spider

Little Spider

*This takes place after homecoming, so Tony Stark does know Peter. He also knows that Peter is trans (spider-MAN). Civil war never happened. Set before newer movies (Tony never died lol)*

Chapter 1 - 'Little Spider'

"Paige! Wake up! You're gonna be late for school" Aunt May shouted up the stairs to Peter. He scrambled out of bed, layering on tape to hide his chest before jumping into some knee-ripped jeans and a red hoodie.

"Coming May!" He called and scrambled out of his room towards the kitchen, simply grabbing an apple to eat on his way to school.

"Bye Paige! Larb you!" May yelled as Peter left.

After leaving the apartment, Peter shoved his hair up into a red cap that read 'That was sodium funny'. It was a matching cap that he had with Ned. Neds' one read 'I slapped my neon that one'. The two boys would chuckle whenever they saw each other wearing it.

Ned was the only one who knew that Peter was trans. Peter had confided in him after Ned found out that Peter was Spiderman. Ned had questioned Peter as to why he was Spiderman and not Spidergirl or Spiderkid. "because I'm a boy, Ned! I'm a boy! I'm trans, Ned. I was born with a girl's body but I'm a boy" Peter had told him. Ned had supported Peter ever since he found out.

As Peter came up to the apartment, he started to shake. Today was the day that he wanted to come out to May. As he arrived at the apartment door, he took a deep, shaky breath "A-aunt May.. I'm home" Peter stuttered as his aunt peeked around the lounge door frame, a concerned expression creeping onto her face at Peter's poor attempt to hide his nerves. She observed the teen boy, who she knew as Paige (a teen tomboy slipping through phases), and noticed he had his hair tied up. If May didn't know Peter, she would have assumed a teenage boy had just entered her apartment.

"Where's your hair gone?" May chuckled slightly, in an attempt to brighten the mood.

"uhm I just uh put it up.." Peter muttered, "I need to talk to you, May".

The concerned expression only grew on May's face. "I'm all ears! What's wrong?"

Peter went on to explain to May that he was trans, which meant he was a boy. He also explained how bad he felt about his body because it made him look like a girl. "It just isn't me May! It's like I'm stuck in this weird, girly body that I want nothing to do with!" He exclaimed. "And, May, I'm bisexual. I like boys, but I also like girls" he'd told her at the end. May sat still, gawping at her nephew who was standing shifting his weight from foot to foot. Her expression had shifted from concerned, to shocked and confused.

"Paige.. I'm glad you told me this. I truly am. I hope you know I'll love you no matter what. I think you should wait though. Your brain isn't fully developed. You're confused. That's understandable! I think you should wait until you go to university. They're very diverse, with lots of different genders, sexualities, hair colors, and everything! I mean, what is there, 14 words for it now?" May said, a serious tone in her voice.

"High schools are diverse too, May! We've got loads of gay kids! Even MJ is a lesbian!" Peter spluttered, trying to hide his anger.

"Go to your room, Paige. I can't deal with this now." May said, not bothering to hide her anger.

Peter stormed towards his room, tears spilling down his face. He could feel his phone vibrating in his pocket. Pulling it out, Peter saw that it was Mr Stark ringing him. He answered, wiping away his tears.

"Hey, underoos. How are you doing? I was wondering if you wanted to come over and have

dinner with the Avengers. We could work on your suit if not." His voice bellowed from the phone.
