I’ll be there sweetheart (Request)
AN: MAJOR FAR FROM HOME SPOILERS! Oh and Tony’s alive.
Tony awoke and looked around the medical bay. He moved slightly and winced in pain, glancing over at his right arm to find iron man armour in it’s place, but he could move it just like his left arm. Must have been his new arm seeing as he had used the infinity gauntlet to end it all. Where was his fiancé? Tony looked around and sat up, getting ready to swing his legs from the bed, but soft hands stopped him.
“Tony! Oh my god Tony, you’re awake!” Peter cried and hugged Tony tightly, arms wrapping around his neck as he cried softly into his neck. Tony smiled, laughing in disbelief that he still had his Peter, and hugged back, rubbing smooth circles up and down his back.
“Oh Peter…my sweetheart, my love…Oh Peter i love you so so so much!” Tony cried out and hugged him tighter, pulling him on the bed with him and rocking them. Peter giggled and buried his head into Tony’s chest that had scars and burns running up his right side and they stopped just below his eye, trailing up his neck. Tony let out a short laugh, carding a hand through Peter’s brunette curls that had definitely gotten longer and thicker in the five years that they had been apart.
“I love you too Tony…i- i was terrified when i s-saw you with the g-glove…i t-thought i’d l-l-lost you…” Peter trailed off, voice thick with tears and finally, he choked out a sob into Tony’s chest. Tony kissed his brunette curls and held him tighter in his arms, trying not to let the cold metal touch his delicate and perfect skin, but Peter actually nuzzled into the arm, crying.
“Oh sweetheart, it’s ok. I’m here and i’m never ever letting you go. I’m never ever leaving you sweetheart. Never.” Tony assured and stroked his cheek, thumb gently gliding over the tears tracks on his face as he smiled at him. Peter laughed wetly and held Tony’s hand in place on his cheek, leaning into him and closing his eyes.
“I love you so much Tony… and you can leave the medical bay now y’know…” Peter purred into his hand. Tony smiled and kissed him deeply, cupping his cheek as Peter kissed back, screwing his eyes shut as he put everything into the kiss. Tony pulled away just to go straight back, attacking his lips and Peter let him, fingers deftly resting on his jawline as he kissed back. They pulled away soon after.
“Seeing as i can leave the medical bay, how about we go up to bed and catch up on five years worth of making love, sweetheart?” Tony smiled and held his hands. Peter smiled and squeezed his hands, even the metallic one as he stood up, displaying himself for Tony. Tony licked his lips, standing up and holding his hips, kissing his cheek.
“I love you Tony…” Peter whispered, holding the back of Tony’s neck, engagement ring on full display. Tony leaned to the warm flesh of Peter’s neck, going to kiss.
*****************************************************************
Tony had his case in his hand, and was adjusting his tie with the other as Peter smiled at him from the door. Tony was at a business meeting out of state and Peter was going on a school trip as a helper seeing as he was now 25 years old. Tony turned to him, walking to the door and leaning down to capture his fiancé’s lips and Peter smiled into the kiss, cupping his cheek with one hand and gripping his shoulders with the other. They only pulled away when they had too.
“Sorry sweetheart, i really don’t want to go, but you know i have too…if it were up to me i’d be coming to Venice and London with you.” Tony spoke sadly, looking down into his eyes. Peter smiled reassuringly up at him and kissed his cheek.
“Honey, it’s fine. I know that you have to go and i don’t mind, but i am a little sad you won’t be in Venice…But it’s fine really Tony, plus what could go wrong?” Peter spoke happily as he looked up into Tony’s eyes and Tony looked back, holding his waist with his flesh arm. Peter purred and placed both hands on his chest, perfecting his tie as he did.
“I know sweetheart, i know…unfortunately i’m going to have to go now sweetheart.” Tony closed his eyes, pressing his forehead to Peter’s who pressed back.
“Alright honey, i love you.” Peter whispered. Tony smiled, pressed a tender kiss to his lips, opened the door and looked back at him.
“I love you too sweetheart, have fun!” Tony called, shutting the door behind him. Peter smiled, but then sighed, going to back his things when he saw the glasses on the bed. Peter frowned and then picked them up, examining them but then he let out a short laugh when he realised they were from Tony and even had one of his AI’s in. He still didn’t think that he deserved Tony. Let alone the glasses.
*******************************************************
“Spiderman’s name is Peter Parker!”
“There you have it folk’s Peter Parker, the assassin. The murder, the Earth’s worst defender. The parasite of the world.”
Tony choked. His baby’s identity had been revealed to the world and it was all wrong. Tony knew that Mysterio was creating an illusion. Happy looked at him, face white as a sheet, whereas Tony’s was whiter. He felt his knees go weak as he ran to the sink in the office, throwing up as he knew his Peter was out there, on patrol in London, all alone and scared. Tony wiped his mouth and looked at Happy.
Peter had been on patrol when it happened. He had had the major fight and had perched himself on a lamppost, looking at the big screens when Mysterio came on. Peter must have choked at the sight as he looked around at the hundreds of people that were crowded around the screens, looking up at them. And then when Quentin Beck had revealed his identity, along with a picture of him, all of the crowds had turned to look at him.
“N-no! It’s not w-what you think!” Peter yelled down at them, voice breaking in fear. Then the people had started yelling.
“You’re evil, you’re no hero!”
“Go and die you useless bastard! You’ve failed the world!”
Peter had began crying through the mask, going to swing away when a brick hit his thigh. It seems the crowds were starting to throw whatever was close enough at him. Ned ran out into the crowds, creating a distraction for Peter, who swung away, aiming to get back to the hotel and get into something that could hide his face. People were leaning out of their windows and screaming at him, throwing anything they had at him. The worst being a pipe that hit his stomach. Peter whimpered and had one of his webs cut, falling to the ground he began running at full speed, phone buzzing.
Tony was red now with stress. He had been phoning his baby for about 15 minutes and there was absolutely nothing. Happy didn’t look as stressed, but that was to be expected, after all it wasn’t his fiancé that had just been outed as a bad guy, which was complete and utter bullshit. Tony slammed his hands down on the desk, carding a hand through his sweat matted hair as he tried again. He almost screamed when it answered.
“Peter?!? Peter sweetheart, are you ok?!? I know about everything, now tell me are you ok?!?” Tony yelled through the phone, sweat beading his brow. All he could hear was sobbing, loud breathing that was quickened and a faster heart beat that was being monitored by the suit. Tony could tell that his Peter was having a panic attack.
“T-tony! Tony p-people know!” Peter managed out, shopping bag hitting off his back as he ran quickly towards the hotel. Tony nodded even though he knew Peter couldn’t see.
“I know sweetheart, i know! Right i want you to go back to the hotel,lock your door, get changed and wait for me. I’ll be there sweetheart i promise on my life, i will come and get you.” Tony assured. Peter could barely breath as he ran, but he managed to talk to Tony.
“O-ok…Tony please help me!” Peter sobbed through the phone as he ran, people screaming at him in the background and Tony heard it, tears coming to his eyes.
“Peter sweetheart, i am coming for you. I will be there sweetheart.” Tony assured. Peter choked out another sob and ran through the lobby of the hotel, sprinting to the stairs.
“O-ok…I’m a-at the h-h-hotel.” Peter cried as he ran up the stairs. Tony nodded and said a goodbye to him before hanging up.
“Happy, i need to get to London within the hour.” Tony ordered. Happy nodded.
“Your planes already waiting boss.” Happy assured. Tony nodded, grabbing his blazer and sprinting out of the door and out of the building, onto tarmac that was right next to the office due to the Avenger’s jet being allowed to land there. Tony dashed up the stairs and programmed where to go before sitting down and waiting, time slowed down. He would literally kill someone for Peter.
Peter locked his room door, barricaded it and ripped his suit off. His eyes were red, chest heaving with his panic attack, face pale as he pulled out his case from underneath his bed, grabbing his clothes and throwing them on quickly while trying not to panic, but that was already futile. He fell to his knees, but stayed on his ankles as he sobbed, hand over his heart as he felt it break. He had protected the people of London and the world and yet, they wanted him to die. Peter clutched the sheets of the hotel bed, panic attack arousing again as he rocked himself back and forth, trying to imitate some of Tony’s actions that calm him. He stayed like that for a full hour until he heard the knock on the door.
“Peter! Peter sweetheart, it’s me!” Tony called through the door. Peter needed to make sure.
“Tell me something that only Tony would know!” Peter yelled through the door. Tony thought a minute, but then figured something out.
“We made love the night before you came on this fucking trip and you apologised to me for how your body looked and i said that you were perfect.”
The door unlocked. Peter looked him up and down and cried hardly, while Tony wrapped his arms around him, holding him close to his chest. Peter sobbed and gripped his shirt tightly, burying his face into Tony’s chest as Tony rubbed his back, kissed his curls and sang softly to him to try and calm him. Tony rocked them and kept his fiancé close as Peter sobbed uncontrollably into his shirt.
“T-they entire w-w-world knows Tony!” Peter choked out in a sob and Tony shushed him while kissing his curls.
“Sweetheart, i know. But swear on my life i will sort this out Peter. I will sort this out for you, make you smile and tell the entire world what a fucking God you are. And i’ll make you a promise, right here, right now, that the day i prove to the world that it was Mysterio will be the day i marry you.” Tony assured and tilted his chin up. Peter whimpered and looked into his eyes.
“H-how are you going to sort t-this out Tony?” Peter whined, and Tony’s heart broke at the whine that was so pained and heart broken.
“I will prove to the world that Mysterio framed you. Then they will know that the real Spiderman is my incredible husband seeing as i intend to marry you the day i prove your innocence.” Tony kissed his temple fondly and kept his metallic and flesh arm tight around Peter’s body as he leaned into him.
“I-i wanna go home…” Peter mumbled, burrowing further into Tony’s chest. Tony nodded, sweeping the boy off of his feet and tucking his hand in the bend of his knee, the other resting on his neck, rubbing it slightly and kissing his forehead. Peter kept crying softly, still not over the barrage of insults and abuse he had endured just on the way to the hotel as Tony carried him out, hurriedly walking to the plane that was on the hotel’s roof.
“I’ve got you sweetheart, i promise…” Tony whispered to him, knowing he had a fear of flying due to his parent’s deaths on a plane. Peter nodded and clung to Tony as he carried him up the stairs, setting him down when they reached the top.
“Thank you Tony…” Peter whispered, leaning to place a kiss on his cheek and Tony leaned into the kiss.
“I’ll always be here sweetheart. I love you.” Tony kissed him deeply, holding his waist as Peter cupped his cheek and kissed back, eyes closed. They only pulled away for air and when they did Tony led him to the bed that was in the aircraft, laying down and pulling him down too. Peter laid down and snuggled up to Tony, gripping onto him as he fell asleep, exhaustion and shock catching up with him. Tony did nothing, except hold him and love him.
**********************************************************************
Peter’s emotional recovery takes a long time, but Tony is there every step of the way, snuggling him through his panic attacks, kissing him through his worried babbling, and bathing him after a nightmare, but Peter had always done the same for Tony. Tony would kill for him and Peter knew it, their love only getting stronger from the ordeal.
Tony does prove that Mysterio framed his Peter, and true to his word, they get married that day. Tony in a sharp black suit and Peter in a angel like white suit that Tony thought made him look like the male Aphrodite even more. Peter cries when the ring slips on his finger and then laughs when Tony pulls him in for a smouldering kiss that he can’t help but melt into. They both have the biggest smiles anyone in the universe has seen when they walk back down the aisle, hand in hand.
“I love you too Peter Stark.”
And eventually, Tony and Peter get recognised as a superhero duo, with the world’s best defender title going to IronSpider. After time, people respect Peter as Spiderman and realise that he wasn’t guilty.
But, Peter couldn’t have cared when they brought the storm of insults and abuse that day, sure he had been scared and afraid, but he always knew his Tony would be there for him. Tony knew the same. All they had to say to each other was:
“I’ll be there sweetheart.”
