Platonic Soulmate AU!

By the way, quick fun fact, I found out that there are different forms of soul mates, including platonic, including friendship! That's cute!

Anyway, to the fic!

——-

Peter has always heard of soulmates. Pretty much everyone found his, He he hasn't, leaving him feeling kind of alone. Everyone had a soulmate, both platonic and romantic. Which one would he have?

His Aunt May couldn't help but notice Peter's depression, and she couldn't blame him. Someone at Peter's age usually find their soulmate, unless for very special reasons. Those special reasons could be that the soulmate is in a different country, a well known person, etc. So Peter must have a very special soulmate.

It was just a matter of waiting.

As for Peter, because of Flash always saying 'Still lonely?', he believed that he would never meet his. Very few never met theirs.

All Peter could do was look at the heart half he had on the back of his hand.

He'll be seeing Tony Stark in school tomorrow... so there's that.

——-

Tony was bored out of his mind, causing his attention to fall back into the half heart at the back of his hand. Tony had used to think that having a soulmate was overrated, but after a long time of personal growth, came to realize that he had only thought about himself.

He could only wait and see, and maybe having a soulmate won't be so bad.

"Tony!"

"Oh! Hey, Pepper."

"Tony, there's a school you have to go to. You're going to be a special guest."

"Ah... okay. Get my things ready."

Tony then noticed that the other half of the heart flickered.

"...what? So, finally? Who?"

——-

"Aunt May! Aunt May, did you see!?"

"Yeah! Congrats, Peter! Who knows who it might be! But remember, this can't be forced. Just wait and see."

"Okay! I can't wait to tell Ned and MJ!"

This excitement was too much for Peter, he even had a little difficulty sleeping. But when the morning came, he got up as thought he had a good nights rest. He brushed, cleaned up, and went to school with a smile on his face, which was a first. Ned noticed when he walked up to Peter and just had to ask.

"What's with the smile?"

"Ned, the other half of my heart flickered! My soulmate is near!"

"Whoa! That's so cool! Congrats! Hey, any clues to who it might be? Sometimes it can be fun to guess."

"I don't know. I have no idea."

"Well, all the more fun to find out."

Soon, it was time for Tony's guest appearance, and Peter was shaking in his shoes as he walked to the auditorium with Ned. As they got closer, the other half on Peter's hand flickered faster. MJ noticed and gave Peter a high-five while putting her focus back into her notebook.

Meanwhile, Tony was noticing the same thing on his hand, the second half flickering. Upon noticing, Pepper smiled.

"Well, would you look at that. Tony, your soulmate is close!"

Tony smirked, which turned into a smile.

——-

Tony walked out and the students and teachers cheered. Tony gave his paparazzi smile and readied himself for the speech. He then felt a buzz on his hand.

"My soulmate is in here..."

Tony then looked around.

"But who?"

He then cleared his throat and spoke.

"Hey, everyone! Ladies and gents, good to see you! It would be absolutely wonderful to see our future, all in one room, right in front of me, and yes, hats how important you all are."

Everyone went nuts.

As for Peter, he kept looking at his hand, the buzz going absolutely crazy.

And Tony noticed.

"Better keep an eye on that kid."

"As for securing that future, that's where I come in. You may be a truly great school, but you know what they say about kids from New York..."

Everyone groaned while Tony nodded.

"Yep. And thats why I'm here. I want to help break that stereotype, and I know what some of you might be thinking. 'Tony, you're from Manhattan, it's easy for a kid from there to get into a good school and have a good life. Trust me, that's because I came from a privileged life. So, my coming from Manhattan means nothing. Any who..."

——-

"... okay, so that's it. Thank you for your time, Midtown. But before you leave..."

Everyone was confused until Tony showed his hand. Everyone couldn't believe what they saw.

"I have a soulmate in here that I want to find. Stay where you are."

Ned and MJ looked at Peter as he looked at his hand.

"Is it... is it really!?"

Tony followed the feeling in his hand, and it lead him close to Peter. He looked up and saw Peter, and smirked.

"You are?"

"Ah! Peter Parker, sir."

"Let me see your hand. You've been looking at it."

Peter Have Tony his hand, and the second halves of the hearts solidified. Tony had the biggest smile on his face and looked up at Pepper.

"Pepper! I found him! I found my soulmate!"

Everyone, especially Flash and the teachers, talk amongst themselves in surprise.

Pepper got down from the stage, got close to Peter, and patted him on the head.

"He's so cute, Tony!"

"Isn't he? So, you're the friend I've been waiting for. Anyone we should tell?"

——-

"Wow! Tony Stark!?"

"Yeah, Aunt May! Look!"

Peter was FaceTiming his Aunt, and when Tony showed up in screen, she squealed. She wasn't really happy that Tony Stark, the playboy, was Peter's soulmate, but weirder pairs have been found out, and worked out perfectly fine. So, she just had to be happy for Peter.

He looked up to Tony all his life after all, so this might as well have been a dream come true for Peter.

"And who am I to take that away from him?"

"That's great, sweetie! We should invite him sometime!"

"Hey, Speaking of inviting, is it okay if I come home late!? Mr. Stark and Miss Potts want to take me to the tower!"

"Sure, sweetie! Have fun while you're there. Be careful, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Bye, Peter! I gotta charge the phone!"

"Okay, bye!"

"I larb you, Petey!"

"I larb you, too!"

May hung up and Peter had the time of his life inside of the tower.

Want a second part of Peter's time in the tower, 23belln?
