《My Parents are Gay》The "D" Word

Narrator's POV
"Urgh, Peter! Quit cheating!" Wade groaned as Peter kept beating him up in the game they were currently playing.
"Wade, it's called a power up." Peter laughed.
"I thought we agreed that power ups were off limits." Wade said.
"Did we?"
"Hey! Come on." Wade said, throwing his hands up in the air as he had just been defeated.
"Sorry, not sorry." Peter gave him an evil smile.
"Again. But this time, no power ups." Wade gave Peter a glare.
"You're on." Peter started a new game.
There was fast clicking bounced off the walls. Stephen walked by the door.
"Hello boys." He smiled.
"Oh, hi Dr. Strange." Peter said with his eyes glued to the screen.
"It's a nice day out." Stephen said leaning against the doorway.
"Uh-huh." Wade responded.
"Wouldn't you rather be outside in the sun, taking advantage of the wonderful outdoors?" Stephen asked. There was no answer from Peter and Wade. "Hm." Stephen groaned. He waved his hand and the console unplugged itself from the wall.
"Dr. Strange!" Peter groaned and threw his hands up.
"What? You guys need to go outside like normal children. It's not healthy for you to be playing games inside all day. You're at least suppose to be outside for an hour a day." He explained.
"Mr. Strange-" Wade started, but stopped when he saw Stephen raise an eyebrow. "Uh...I mean, Dr. Strange with all your respect, we're not seven years old anymore."
"Yeah Dr. Strange." Peter answered.
Dr. Strange crossed his arms.

"Did I ever tell you about the slug in eighth grade?" Peter asked Wade. They were both sitting in a swing set outside in the backyard. The sun was shining brightly, and the birds sang beautifully.
"No." Wade answered, looking down at his shoes as he slowly swayed back and forth.
"Oh. Well in eighth grade, I was hanging out with a couple of friends, yeah I know. It's hard to believe I had friends." He joked. "Anyway, so we're all playing basket ball until two of my friends went over to a tree. They found a hole in it and said there was something in it. We all went over to them and gathered around. Turns out there was a slug in there. One of my other friends remembered I had said earlier that I had never lost a dare. So she dared me to eat it, BUT!" He exclaimed. "They decided to go get some salt to pour on it, and they did. We watched it's inside come out. It was so gross." Peter wriggled in his swing.
"So did you eat it?" Asked Wade.
"I had a reputation to protect." Peter said.
"Gross, Peter!" Wade laughed and pushed Peter out of his swing. Peter laughed.
"I was in eighth grade."
Wade got up and stretched his arm out to help Peter up, but Peter only pulled him down to the ground. Wade landed on top of him.
"Wow, you're strong." Wade said, only inches apart from Peter's face.
"I am Spider-Man." Peter said smiling. Wade leaned closer for a kiss, but Peter only shot webbing on his lips. "I don't think so Wade."

Wade rolled his eyes. You could tell he was smiling under the webbing.
Meanwhile, Stephen was watching them through the glass door, smiling. This warmed his heart. Seeing Peter happy, blooming with love and inspiration. What a beautiful thing. He took a sip from his tea with a hand on his hip, then placed both hands on the mug when he was through sipping. Tony walked up behind him and gave his cheek a kiss, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend.
"Good morning wizard." He said. Stephen took in a deep breath, filling his chest, and exhaling. Tony knew that sigh. It meant the wizard was in a good mood and relaxed. "What's got you all happy?" He asked. Stephen pointed at the teens outside. Tony looked. "Hm." He groaned. "I'm still not okay with that."
"Oh come on Tony. Look at Peter, he's so happy. So content. Doesn't it kind of remind you of something?" Stephen asked.
"Mmm..." Tony thought. "No. Not really." He said. Stephen turned to him.
"Urgh Tony." Stephen groaned. He put his tea down on the small coffee table near by. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend shoulders. Tony put his hands at Stephen's hip. "When was the last time we danced?" He asked, smiling.
Tony laughed. "Stephen you're still the same romantic as when we first met." They began to sway slowly. "Friday play "Come and Get Your Love"."

Peter stopped laughing when he saw something in the house from the corner of his eye. "Wade wait. Look." He said sitting up from under Wade, who still had the webbing at his lips, pointing at the house. Wade turned to see the two adults dancing. "Aww." Peter said. Wade sat next to him. "It's been quite a while since I've seen Mr. Stark and Dr. Strange dance."
Wade finally removed the webbing. "Hey Petey, I've been meaning to ask...why do you call them Mister and Doctor? Why not dad?"
"Well, Dr. Strange adores being called Doctor because he worked so hard for his profession." Peter said. "And I think Mr. Stark doesn't like that stuff since he and his dad didn't have the best relationship." He explained. They both kept their eyes on the dancing couple. Wade was tearing a leaf in his hands.
"But don't you think they'd like to be called dad? They are your dads after all. I know Tony has always wanted a child. He's always dreamt of raising a kid. I know he wants to be a better dad than his father ever was for him, for you." Wade explained.
"You think so?" Peter asked.
"I know so. Why do you think he's tried to keep me away from you?" Wade nudged him. "He's just looking out for you because he wants you to be safe." Wade kissed Peter's forehead. "He just hasn't figured out how to approach you." He took his Peter's hand. They both kept looking at the dancing adults.

Tony had his hands at Stephen's waits, dancing slowly at the beat of the music. Stephen had his arms around Tony's shoulders, his head sat on Tony's right shoulder. He was happy, very happy.
Tony had his back to the glass door, and Stephen was facing it. He couldn't stop smiling like an idiot, but that smile faded; and his cheeks turned red. He pulled his head away from Tony's shoulder and placed it against Tony's chest, hiding. Tony pulled his hands away from Stephen's hips and his arms opened in surprise. "Stephen what's wrong?" He asked.

"They're looking at us." He said in Tony's chest. Tony turned his head and saw Wade and Peter staring at them. He laughed.
He wrapped his arms around Stephen, placing one hand on the back of Stephen's neck and drawing him close. "Oh Stephen." He kissed the doctor's head.

Later the four were sitting around the dinner table, enjoying a delicious and nutritious meal.
"Oh Peter." Wade wiped his mouth a napkin. "I forgot to tell you that I'll be leaving for Canada soon." He said.
"Oh, when?" Peter asked, drinking some water.
"Tomorrow. I'll be spending a few days there, maybe a week." Wade explained.
Peter coughed, choking on his water. "T-Tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me?" Peter asked him, wiping his mouth.
Tony and Stephen stared at the two teenagers.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Wade said.
"A surprise that you're leaving?" Peter asked. He looked at Stephen. "Why didn't you tell me? Can't you look into the future and stuff?"
"I don't want to get involved in teenage drama." Stephen answered.
"But don't worry. I'll call you every night while I'm away." Wade said.
"I don't have a phone." Peter responded.
"Then I'll write you." Wade stood up as his phone buzzed.
"You're leaving now?" Peter asked.
"I've gotta pack my things. Sorry, love you. Bye." Wade was out the door. Peter sighed.
Stephen and Tony looked at him.
"Peter-" Stephen started.
"May I be excused?" He asked.
"Sure." Tony let him go.
Peter went up to his room.

There was a knock on Peter's door.
"Come in." He said, laying on his bed, hugging a pillow. Tony and Stephen walked in. "Oh, hey." Peter sat up.
"Hey Peter, I've taken into account that you're a growing child and you need freedoms and ways to express yourself-"
"Tony, just give it to him already." Stephen places a hand on Tony's shoulder.
"Hm?" Peter looked at him.
"Fine fine." Tony pulled out a box. "Here. I wasn't going to release it until February, but we saw how much you were going to miss "your boyfriend."" Tony rolled his eyes at the end of that.
Peter opened the box to discoverer the newest Stark Industries smart phone. "Wow. Thank you!" Peter smiled.
"Tony put Wade's number in it for you." Stephen smiled.
"Thank you so much." Peter hugged Tony. Tony stood there frozen for a bit and looked at Stephen, who nudged him. Tony Hughes the teenager back.
"Yeah. No problem." Tony patted Peter on the back.
They pulled away.
"Well, we're off to bed Peter. Goodnight." Stephen said at the door.
"Goodnight." Peter said, looking into the phone.
Stephen closed the door.
Hey Wade.
....
It's me. Peter. Mr. Stark gave me a phone.
I will... So what's up?
👅💦💕🍌
Suddenly the phone started buzzing. Mr. Stark was calling. Peter answered.
"Hello?"
"TELL THAT BOY TO COOL IT BEFORE I FIND HIM!" He yelled through the phone.
"Uh...what do you mean?" Peter asked.
"Don't play dumb with me Peter. I saw what he sent you."
"So you're spying on me? What happened to giving me freedoms?"
"Don't get smart with-"
"Tony, who are you on the phone with?" Stephen's voice came into the scene. "Oh, hi Peter."
"Dr. Strange, Mr. Stark is spying on me." Peter said through the voice.
"That's it. Tony I'm grounding you from all electronics for the rest of the night." Stephen said.
"Hey, you can't do that! I'm a grown man." Tony said over the phone. He kept rambling.
"Goodnight Peter." Stephen said before he hung up.
Peter decided to put the phone away for the night. He didn't want to take any chances of Tony, somehow taking control of some device and spying again.
-Morning-
Peter was dressed and ready to go say goodbye to Wade at the airport, but his guardians were still getting ready. He decided to make a quick call.
Good morning Wade.
Mr. Stark stark initially said no, but Dr. Strange changed his mind.
"I can always change my mind!" Yelled Tony from his room.
"Dr. Strange! Mr. Stark is spying on me again!" Peter yelped.
"Tony!" Stephen yelled.
///0///0
"I'm gonna miss you." Peter told Wade as he gave him one last hug.
"Me too." Wade said, kissing Peter's forehead. "I'll call you every night." Wade said as a the crowd of people that was boarding his flight began to move. He got pushed along with them.
"Okay. I'll be waiting." Peter smiled. "Text me when you land."
"I will." Wade said, looking back at Peter. "Peter! You should download this app called Snapchat! That way we can exchange nu-"
"Alright kid, lets go." Tony put his arm on Peter's shoulder and pulled him away. They rode home together. Stephen wasn't able to come due to Wong needing help last minute with the Sanctum. Peter was silent the entire way.
They got home rather fast. Peter sighed once he entered the house. Tony walked up to him and patted him on the back. "It's okay kid. I know how hard it is when you miss someone. Stephen's always away with his wizard friends." Tony said. "It'll be fine. It's only for a week or so." Tony said softly.
Peter smiled at the thought of Tony trying to cheer him up. It was like he was trying to be a dad for a minute. All that was left was for Tony to call him bud, or champ, or son. His smile grew bigger at the thought of that. "Thanks dad."
Tony froze. His gaze was stuck on the wall in front of him as that word, the "d" word, repeated in his head; bouncing off the walls of his cranium. "Uuuuhhhhh....", was all the managed to come from Tony.
Peter grew red. "Oh my goodness." He ran upstairs.
Tony just stood there, frozen. Butterflies exploding in his stomach, his heart beating hard.

He became a respected leader, a shining example of what it meant to be good. But as the world ended, he had only one thought: to punish the monster that had killed the world long before the Framework ended it. Yet not even with his incredible power was he able to stand against the World Ender. His arrival in the new realty, the Infinite Realm, gives him the chance to grow stronger, to find the monster again—and make it pay.

The only thing that had mattered to him had been lost to him long ago. He truly was the monster that people considered him to be, and he now finds himself wondering if this new reality has a place for someone like him—but he had never been one for lying down and dying without a fight.

The White Dragon
It is the year 472 and the Roman empire is still strong in an alternative Earth where magic exists.

Yet the empress and her officers need his power over magic to assist their armies and face the White Dragon.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
