Peter who starts dressing in baggy clothes to hide his sudden muscles. He’s always cold too, so it works, right? It doesn’t matter that it’s not what he really wants to wear, it’s practical.
Peter who blushes up a storm the first time Tony casually calls him “pretty boy.” He doesn’t think it means anything. It was used in passing. It’s just a nickname.
Peter who protests every time Tony brings up going shopping. He knows his mentor will see right through him. He always does. If Peter lingers a little too long on a pink shirt or a skirt, Tony will absolutely buy it for him but he’ll have nowhere to wear it, so what’s the point?
Tony who notices anyway, who buys Peter a few things, and claims that they came in a PR package. He asks if maybe MJ would want them, lets Peter lie about taking them back to her, knowing they’ll get kept and hidden in the back of his closet. Baby steps.
Tony who keeps calling him “pretty boy” because he means it. His touches keeping lingering, his desires keep growing. He pictures Peter in pink and lace and knows he’d be practically glowing.
Tony who finally can’t hold himself back anymore and kisses Peter like he’s fragile, likes he’s a porcelain doll and not strong enough to stop a truck. Peter who whines and whimpers and nearly cums in his pants when Tony calls him “pretty boy” while he’s got his hands on his ass and his kissing his neck. He loses his virginity that night to the man he’s always dreamed of.
Both of them quietly confessing in tangled sheets how they both fantasize about it. The next time Peter comes over, he brings the skirt, and he wears it. He’s nervous and giggling, especially when Tony reaches right under it and paws his ass, but there’s a sense of freedom in it too. It makes sex amazingly easy, and Peter never wanted to wear skirts for the easy access, but god, it’s amazing to be bent over the lab table like this.
Peter getting more comfortable and slowly wearing what he really wants. Somedays it’s still jeans and baggy shirts, but sometimes it’s skirts and oversized sweaters, and sometimes he’s wearing the pink panties Tony bought him instead of his usual boxers. Peter who loves being pretty for Tony and feels safe enough to do so with him. 🩷
