It's a widely known and often memed statistic that Tony Stark has never dated anyone older than twenty-five-years old. The reliability with which all his relationships degrade within weeks of his partners' 25th birthday is truly comical to the entire internet-using world, except to two people: Tony Stark himself, and his current boyfriend, Peter Parker.

Peter knew of Tony's history upon entering a relationship with the older man, of course. He's Gen Z, born with the power of the internet in the palm of his hand. He was 21 when he first met 46-year-old Tony Stark. He knew he had an expiry date. But he was young and Tony was funny and smart and nice and so unbelievably hot. Peter could have a good time with him for however brief it may be.

Tony, on the other hand, was prepared to quit dating entirely when he was dumped yet again shortly after spending a small fortune on a diamond necklace for his ex's birthday. She was nice enough to try to give it back the night she left him, but he refused. Maybe she can sell it and use it towards the down payment for a house or whatever it is that "serious adults" do.

Because that's the thing the internet doesn't talk about, how people date Tony Stark for a good time and not for a long time. Oh it's fun to get invited to high society galas and travel to beautiful places around the world and be showered with lavish, expensive gifts. But when people decide it's time to settle down, make commitments, have a family, they don't want to do it with a man like Tony Stark.

Peter is too beautiful for Tony to resist, though. And as Tony got to know him - just how sweet, kind-hearted, and absolutely prodigy-level genius the young man is - Tony knows Peter is entirely too good for him to keep. Tony knows his heart will inevitably be broken again down the line, but hey, it's better to have loved and lost and all that.

Right?

It's a wonderful few years. Perfect, even.

Peter never imagined he would find the love of his life in his early twenties but here he is. Tony Stark's incredible body and insane stamina and big, fat bank account are great perks for sure. But it's his quirks, his passion, his work ethic, even his flaws that make Peter fall even deeper in love. It seems like the only flaw of Tony's that Peter can't get over is the fact that the man obviously prefers them young. And it's not something Peter can ever accept or change about himself. The thing about puppies is that they always grow into dogs.

Tony throws Peter the biggest 25th birthday party the city has ever seen. No expense was spared. Everyone was out to celebrate, family and friends inside the venue, even the vultures outside waiting for their breakup, jokes at the ready.

There's just one couple whose happiness was subdued. It's a melancholy that hovers over them like a stormcloud. Each bout of lovemaking feels like the last.

With every kiss Peter is saying, please let me stay.

With every touch Tony is saying, please don't go.

Tony is the one who caves. This has gone enough for too long. Either way, Peter will be the last person he'll ever be with, the last person he'll ever love.

The engagement ring is a vintage piece of gold that once adorned Tony's own late mother. Tony hopes against hope that it doesn't become yet another piece of jewelry to bookmark another heartbreak.

But Peter says yes. Of course, he says yes. Few people are lucky enough to find a love like he had. Even fewer had found it so quickly.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long," Peter says.

"It's worth it to finally find you," Tony says.

In the end, everyone is still right. Tony Stark has never dated anyone older than twenty-five-years old. But he will be married to one.

i love the babygirlism of peter parker in the community but him always being portrayed as ultra submissive and shy in fics is getting stale. where is brave peter parker, steeling himself before he confesses his feelings to tony with determination in his eyes? where is, "don't call me kid," peter parker, weary and worn after everything he's experienced so young? where is the peter parker who slams his palms down on the lab's workstation when tony isn't really listening to him, isn't taking him seriously? where is illicit affairs peter parker, "don't call me kid / don't call me baby / look at this godforsaken mess that you made me / you showed me colors you know i can't see with anyone else" peter parker who believes that if tony didn't want to be loved by him, then he shouldn't have been so goddamm loveable? i want to see the determination and courage and full-throttleness that exists within him. i want tony to see it, too.

Everyone knows Tony Stark isn’t single anymore but no one knows who his partner is. Whenever anyone asks him in interviews or so, all they get as an answer is a mischievous smirk or a playful wink

Peter wants to stay a private person and Tony completely respects his wishes, but that doesn’t stop him from occasionally uploading a blurry picture of Peter and him in bed or a shaky video of them in the lab

Peter knows that Tony would love to show him off to the entire world, so they compromise on these ambiguous pictures and videos and audio recordings that only get publicized by Tony himself

Senator Tony x Intern Peter

Peter catches Tony's attention. Peter quickly becomes the best dressed and best known intern in the building. Peter wants to thank Tony. Tony lets him. Peter gets on his knees. He’s a pretty picture, and they both know it. “You’re wrinkling your suit.” “Doesn’t look like you mind much, Mr. Stark.” The rest is history.

Tony and Peter are in a long-distance relationship. When Tony can't stand only seeing Peter through his phone anymore, he decides to surprise him with a visit and a trip to a cosy hut in the mountains. Because what's better than spending a whole weekend cuddling in front of a fireplace? 🔥
