Peter sometimes hides on the ceiling of the lab and tries to scare Tony as he walks in. Sometimes he’ll film it to try and get his reaction.

peter adores tony, but tony builds this emotional wall between them from the get-go, mostly because he’s afraid he’s going to be a bad influence. At the beginning of the mentorship he keeps peter at an arms length, because he knows everything he touches turns to ruin.

I certainly think that, in the earliest stages of their relationship, before peter started to see the more human side of him, he would copy his mannerisms, even simple little things like the way he stands with his hands in his pockets or the way he nods at the receptionist when he walks into one of his fancy business buildings. He thought that maybe, if he was more like tony, tony would like him more.

SCENARIOS:

when they’re in the lab, peter copies little things about tony, the way he sits, the way he stands with his arms crossed, the way he moves seamlessly around the room swiping at holograms and picking up tools in a controlled, chaotic dance. At this point, peter doesn’t know where everything is in the lab yet, but he feels insecure asking, so he just kind of fumbles around until tony helps him.

peter yells at DUM-E to pass him things the way tony does, except DUM-E doesn’t listen to him.

peter starts picking up some of the sayings that tony has, even the less… school appropriate ones.

peter gets kidnapped while he’s out on patrol. it’s the first time this has happened, and quite frankly he’s terrified. when tony is scared he doesn’t show it. so, he tries to act all tough and smart like tony. it only ends up making the kidnappers more angry with him, and they hurt him more.

after this, tony has a heart to heart with peter about all this, sort of an expansion on the classic “I just wanted to be like you / I wanted you to be better” moment from Homecoming, where he explains to him that he likes him just the way he is, and the reason he’s been so distant is because he doesn’t want to rub off on him.

peter explains that the reason he’s doing all that in the first place is he wants tony to be proud of him, and think he’s worth his time.

from there, they start to open up to each other.

cursed him from the moment he touched him

May walks into the kitchen at 7 AM and finds Peter drinking coffee straight black while staring at the toaster like it personally betrayed him.

May: Honey, you’re sixteen.

Peter: and yet the bagel remains untoasted.

May: Why are you talking like that.

"There's this dude who wants to be my dad, but I'm not sure if i should agree he yelled at me :/ "

tony made the suit a while before civil war, he put in all these protocols to protect a kid—who soon becomes the kid—he doesn't even know. he saw a child in a onesie with powers and decided to take him under his wing.

“its been a long week, kid. get some rest now.”

So when Peter describes Tony as his friend to the lady at the front desk to explain his visit, Tony wears that like a badge of honor.

“He’s my friend” to reassure Aunt May over the phone before a particularly dangerous mission. “He’s my friend” to warn his kidnappers that hell’s coming to them. “He’s my friend” when someone asks why he trusts Tony Stark, someone who got rich off of destruction, off of apathy.

the kid gets hungry in the lab. he’ll eat anything of course; but he’s too polite to say that he doesn’t exactly love the very expensive snacks tony has stocked up. ok. tony now has an updated pantry with shit that the kid WILL eat. he’s figuring out peter’s favourite by monitoring what goes the quickest.

the kid spends a lot of time upstate and sometimes nights run late. that leaves peter to sleep in the car, where his neck cramps, and happy has to drive frequently at night, which leaves may to stress out over when her kid is coming home. ok. tony now has reinstated a room in the compound for peter to stay at. lab days are now on weekends so he doesn’t miss school. it’s better that way. win-win.

and this kind of thing goes on for EVERYTHING. bed sheets and spare clothes and the temperature of the building. healthy food and healthy sleep schedules and what to say to make peter’s rough days moderately better.

i know putting a picture as a background is lazy but i will never stop doing it i think it’s cute and silly

They’re working in the lab and he’s looking at Peter’s corrections to a faulty design: “Wow, Parker, this is really impressive. You came up with this?”

They’re out ordering food and he’s piling on to the order, studying the way Peter bashfully shifts on his feet: “You sure that’s all you want? I’ll order you extra in case you get hungry. You like the number five, right?”

They’re in a bloodied hallway and he’s trying to hold Peter still, but the kid is drugged up and squirming, trying to look at the carnage behind him: “I know. Hey, it doesn’t matter. You did good, you’re real brave. Don’t look at them, look at me. Keep looking at me. I’m proud of you. Thank you for protecting us. You did a good job.”

If Tony was alive NOBODY WOULD’VE FORGOTTEN PETER

If Tony was alive, Beck never would’ve been able to trick Peter, and expose his identity which led to the events of No Way Home.

AND THATS WHAT MAKES IT HURT SO MUCH MORE.

If Tony didn’t die, May would still be alive and MJ and Ned would remember him.
