Thank you for the ask! This ones short and sweet. Kind of had to add a bit of clinginess in at the end but I hope I still did it justice!

Peter looked up from his phone, a frown stretched across his face replacing the small smile that had been there moments prior.
He raised an eyebrow at Tonyâs white defensive tone, not quite understanding the sudden occurrence of malice running past his lips as Peter explained his plans for the weekend.
âI said Iâm going to Flashâs party, with Ned, MJ-â
â-andâ, Tony encouraged, the look in his eyes similar to that of a predator advancing on prey. And Peter, well Peter definitely knew what it meant. It wasnât trouble, it was less of Tony angry, and more of Tony, as usual, suspicious. He was waiting for Peter to say what he wanted to hear so that he could go off in an elaborate huff.
â-and Harryâ, Peter sighed, shaking his head at the way Tony let out a huffed laugh, and licked at his lips.
âFraternizing with the enemy are we?â, Tony questioned, standing up from his seat in the lounge room, to make his way over to the bar.
âJealous again are we?â, Peter shot back, cooing his words in a patronising manner, with a small glare directed at Tonyâs back. Frankly he should have seen this coming, and not opened his mouth in the first place.
âMe? Jealous?â, Tony scoffed. âWhat do I have to be jealous of Harry Osborn for? Iâm just saying, you work for Stark Industries, not Oscorp. And going out with the owner of it doesnât seem very professionalâ, he stated, letting out a very much needed breath at the end of his argument in which by the end, heâd grabbed a bottle of whiskey and poured some into a glass.
As he raised it to his lips and drank it all in one go, Peter stood and walked over to him slowly. By the time the glass was set back on the counter (much too roughly for Peterâs liking) a pair of arms nestled their way around his waist. A warm body pressed against his back, as a full head of soft hair nuzzled into his neck.
âItâs not the owner Tony, itâs the owner's son. And if anyone should be worrying about professionalism, itâs him. He is tied to the business through blood. Whereas I, well we both know itâs nepotism, or rather sex, that allowed me to be your intern for this longâ, he said bluntly.
Tony rolled his eyes, he couldnât help but let out a laugh at that, and Peter smiled feeling the tension leave his shoulders. âCorrection: Youâre my intern because of your work ethic, skill and intelligence. Letâs not forget that youâre an avenger too Spider-Man. And when youâre out of high school, and after college, if you choose to youâll work alongside me because of those things. Even if the sex contributed a littleâ, he muttered, teasing lightly at the end.
Peter laughed softly against his ear, snuggling against him further as he closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of Tony's cologne.
âIâm just sayingâ, he spoke after a while, âyou have nothing to worry about. I love you, and only you. And when the party ends, Iâll come right back to youâ, he said quietly against his skin.
âI wasnât jealousâ, Tony huffed straight away. âI was strictly speaking on a professional levelâ, he defended.
Peter simply sighed and nodded his head. âWhatever you say dearâ, he whispered, leaning forwards to crane his neck and press a kiss to his lips. His nose scrunching slightly at the taste of the alcohol on his lips. âSo youâre saying itâs fine if I go to the party?â, he asked sweetly.
âYou know I donât like to control what you do. Youâre young, go do what you wantâ
Peter knew well that Tony would never try and dictate what he should and shouldnât do. But he also knew Tony was insecure about their age difference. And thought one day Peter would leave him for someone his own age. He knew he felt threatened by Harry because it was that nightmare coming true. Someone for Peter to share all those young soon to be college years with. No matter how much Peter tried to tell him it wasnât true. He could never get through to him. So maybe it would be best to sit this one out.
He didnât say that however. He simply just nodded, pressing another kiss to his lips, ignoring the bitter taste this time before gently letting go and leading Tony back to the couch. âNo one said you could stop with the cuddlesâ, he scolded lightly, moving to lay down on the couch in his original position.
Tony raised an eyebrow at that. âYou were too busy texting Harry for cuddlesâ, he mumbled bitterly, causing Peter to give him a warning look.
âDonât be silly Tonyâ, he rejected that idea immediately, making a blatant point to set his phone down on the coffee table and open up his arms. Tony sighed, but could never resist being in Peterâs arms, moving to gently lay on top of the boy, making sure most of his weight was on the small length of the couch left next to Peterâs body, so that he didnât crush him, as he buried his head against his chest.
âYou know I love you, and only you, right Tony?â, Peter asked softly after a moment, pressing a kiss to Tonyâs head gently.
The whine that came from the older male was muffled against Peterâs shirt, holding onto him tighter as he began to grow childish at the prospect of being found out, despite the fact that his jealousy was clear as day.
âTonyâ, Peter sighed out, gently rubbing his back in an affectionate manner.
âIâve told you so many times. You have nothing to worry about.â
âAnd what if you fall in love with someone else?â, Tony eventually asked, lifting his head to look up at Peter with the tiniest of pouts on his lips - one that even his own fragile arrogance would allow.
âI wonâtâ, Peter said stubbornly.
âYouâre the only person I want to be with-â
âYouâre still young Peter. Look at me, Iâm fifty two years old and Iâve only just found the person I want to be with. After what was many girlfriends, some boyfriends, and even some failed proposalsâ, he admitted, âYou have so much time to find the one. Why would you want to spend the rest of your life with someone whoâs going to die before your even my age? And then your back to square oneâ
âDonât say things like thatâ, Peter said, in quite a harsh tone. He never liked Tony talking down on himself, but he also didnât like the reminder that Tony would go far before Peter would even be ready to see him go. âIf I didnât love you, I wouldnât be here with you. Iâm well aware how our ages will always have a considerable strain on our relationship but itâs a risk Iâm more than willing to takeâ, he said, much softer by the end.
âPlease stop Tony, just, live in the moment with me. Please. Worry about our future when we get to it. Just love me now and Iâll love youâ, he begged.
Sad eyes met Tonyâs and guilt began to set in. âOkay, Iâm sorry babyâ, he whispered. âGo to the party, have funâ, as if sending Peter beginning to interject, he simply kissed his lips gently and smiled. âGo, you deserve it. Youâve been working hard. But it I donât let you go for the entire weekend when you come back, thatâs on me not youâ, he warned playfully.
Peter laughed sweetly. âIâm alright with thatâ, he promised. âClingy is a cute look on youâ, he hummed.
Tonyâs gasp rang out, shaking his head. âIâm not clingyâ, he spoke, mock offence in his words as Peter scoffed.
âOh so texting me every minute about how much you miss me and to remember that you give the best kisses when Iâm with my friends, isnât clingy?â, he questioned, to which Tony grunted and shook his head. âNo, itâs just a reminder. A sweet reminderâ, he said.
Peter rolled his eyes, but chose not to argue with the man, because frankly, he really did love that side of Tony, no matter how annoying it may get sometimes.
âFine, fine, you winâ, he laughed, wrapping his arms around Tony again to pull him back down into the cuddle.
âI always winâ, Tony replied with a small smirk.
âOf course you do dear.â
