I can just imagine Tony planning for his and Peter's first Valentine's Day/Anniversary months ahead because he has to make sure it's perfect
Thank you @starkerscoop 💖 I love this so much. Peter just being happy to be here while Tony is stressing from the side lines
So they got together in like March one year, this being the following February (Yes, sorry, I know you know how calendars work) but this is their first Valentines day as a couple
Hell, is the first Valentines day that Tony has put much thought into at all.
Tony knows he could get any booking he wants last minute and the temptation is there because honestly, Peter's favourite food changes with the time of day and he is slowly burning most bridges with the cities restaurants with how he is booking, cancelling and rebooking for the 14th.
Peter will say things are cute, will change interests like it is nothing, will get pouty anytime Tony tries to buy him anything expensive yet complains about how many small trinkets he has.
Tony has NEVER struggled to buy someone something before. He found that just throwing money at a gift is enough, but not with Peter.
Peter wants for nothing even though he still has very little. He just wants time and attention yet it feels a bit egotistical even by Tony's standards to offer that as a gift and he is too old to be wrapping a bow around his naked body. He gets cold.
He has been boring and annoying Pepper with trying to come up with an idea of what the hell he is meant to do with Peter.
He buys gifts only to return them, he books and cancels bookings weekly, he even buys ribbon as a back up to his many backups.
He even asks Peter what he wants but the boy just smiles up at him from where he is sitting on Tony's lap, wide eyes shining at him brightly and smiles like it is the dumbest question.
"I have everything I need." He would say before turning back to the film they were watching and cuddling in again.
Tony would both watching him with adoration and curse him for being so happy and content with literally nothing.
Small extra:
It would be the 13th and they would be cuddling in bed and Peter, half asleep would turn to him and mumble a "Are you busy at work tomorrow?"
Without even thinking Tony would wrap his arms tighter around him and nod, "Peps booked me all up." He would say with a matching yawn.
Although, he wouldn't miss the small sigh and the falter in Peter's smile.
"Hey, but I managed to book your favourite restaurant, and have a very special present for you. I know you said not to go too big but it is-"
And Peter would force his best smile and shake his head, "No, it is fine. Really. I don't think Ned has plans so I will see if he wants to hang out."
And it hits Tony.
Like a truck.
Peter literally did just want time.
He was thinking about activities like museums or theme parks, experiences. He was over complicating things. Peter didn't even need a ribbon. The boy had just been expecting... Time. Together.
Tony slipped out of bed, phoned Pepper and asked her to cancel all of his meeting.
He could basically hear her smile down the phone as she agreed.
He surprised Peter with pancakes and coffee in the morning. They did nothing. All day. They stayed in their pj's and just watched films and ate cheap sushi, and it was the best Valentines day that Tony had ever had.
