Not too many people had seen the article. Peter got a few weird looks on the street, but he ignored them and continued about his day, knowing the fact would blow over soon enough.

Too bad Flash Thompson was stubborn.

“So is it true?” he asked Peter as they sat waiting for Decathlon practice to finish. The team had finished their drills and were now sitting in a messy circle around the make-shift auditorium, some on the stage and some on the steps and some on the floor. They figured that ending ten minutes early wouldn’t hurt; their teacher wasn't there, anyway.

“Is what true?” Peter asked back, noticing that the small group of teens had their attention now on him. He shifted uncomfortably, more towards Ned, as if he was warning him of the incoming danger that he felt.

“Are you really Tony Stark’s bitch?”

The question stabbed Peter straight in the gut, bringing an intense anger through his chest. His face reddened and he clenched his teeth subtly, turning towards Flash.

“Excuse me?” he said gently, hoping his peer would back off. He felt Ned’s presence behind him as Flash stood, making his way towards Peter.

“You heard me.” Flash said, crossing his arms as Peter stood as well, leveling their eyes. “Are you really Tony Stark’s bitch?”

Peter took a soft breath to keep his strength down. His impulses wanted to smack Flash upside the head, but his sensibility was fighting back, reminding him of the risk of exposing his identity.

“No, I am not. I intern with him.” He said straightly, biting the insults that begged to flow from his tongue.

“Those pictures of you two seem pretty touchy, if I’m not reading them wrong.” Flash smirked.

“You are reading them completely wrong, Flash.” Peter muttered. “And it’s fucking disgusting that you’d even consider that an option.”

“Are you sure, Peter?” Flash taunted. “Are you completely sure?” his voice was louder now.

“I said yes.” Peter replied sternly, desperately trying to calm the fists that were glued to his sides at the moment.

“I don’t know, you drop everything for the man. I mean, decathlon practice, band, robotics. You’ve missed multiple meetings for each of those clubs because of your ‘Stark Internship’. Are you sure you didn’t crawl your way up there by crawling into his pants?”

“Hey!” Peter retaliated, his ears burning in anger. “Watch it.”

“Are you sure you don’t have quickies with him before his big press conferences? He seems pretty relaxed during those.”

“Flash, shut up.” Peter spoke through gritted teeth. Ned was tugging on Peter’s arm, and somewhere in the mix of his pounding heart and harsh breathing, he could hear him telling him that it was time to go.

“And you sure he doesn’t suck your dick after school every day, then fuck you in the back of his car before he drops you off with a new diamond watch?”

“I said shut up, you fucking dick!” Peter yelled, startling the other students in the room.

Flash dropped his arms to his sides, jaw tight. “What did you just call me?”
