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.

Peter: What, why! That's way too excessive

Tony: You need a proper watch

Peter: I have a proper watch *shows off children's Spider-Man watch*

Tony: That is not a watch, that's an embarrassment

Peter: Just wait till you see this—*presses button so it flashes coloured lights* bet your dumb Rolex can't do that

Tony: It can't, and if it did I'd return it

Peter: Sounds like you've never been kidnapped in the dark with nothing but this bad boy to try and pick the lock with. And those suckers said it was too worthless to take, pft

Tony: *turns in a swivel chair* Care to tell me where you were?

Peter: I was with.. uh... Harley..

Peter’s still a shy bean to his face, so he doesn’t mention that yes, he actually does listen to the voicemails in fear of Peter stopping.

And then one day Tony slips up and mentions something that Peter told him in a voicemail and Peter is completely mortified. You mean his mentor actually listens to them? He’s heard Peter regale his most embarrassing school stories and gush about his childhood crush on Thor? He thinks his life is over until Tony panics and tells him that receiving the voicemails is one of the best parts of his day. Peter stares at him like a lost puppy and Tony shies away from the feelings and everything’s as awkward as usual.

But that night, a voicemail comes in, and it’s no different than any of the others. Peter yammers like his heart depends on it, and Tony can’t help but feel that it’s an acknowledgement of the fact that yeah, they may have a difficult time talking to one another in person, but they both care, and maybe if they keep trying, they can make this father-son thing work.
