#next up Tony buys Peter a small country for his birthday

[pr0crastin]

Peter refusing to accept Tony’s money so Tony getting creative, I present to you

Tony breaking all of Peter and May’s things so he can replace them with better ones, examples include

Tony putting a fork in the toaster while it was on under the pretence of taking the bread out

well how was I supposed to know it doesn’t go in there? Friday usually makes me breakfast

Mr Stark you literally built an empire off of your technological genius-

Look kid, I’ll just get you a new one

Tony casually leaning against the fridge and knocking it over

I’m really buff kid I don’t like to talk about it

Tony testing out his thrusters in Peter’s living room, results include a destroyed television and a hole in the wall it was mounted on

Good thing we have spares in the basement

Spare whats? Walls?

Spare TVs, underoos. The wall I’ll have rebuilt- it was looking a little shaky anyways

That wall has stood perfectly fine for sixteen years-

Friday I’m gonna need you to send one of the spare plasma screens and two guys to install it, thanks

Tony straight up throwing the microwave out through the kitchen window

MR STARK-

Pete, do you know how detrimental microwaved food is to your health? I’ll get you a new one

WON’T IT STILL BE DETRIMENTAL

My own technology kid, you don’t look this young at my age just like that

Tony blasting a hole through the washing machine

So noisy these things. How do you stand them

Oh my God-

Pepper just bought a washing machine we don’t need, funny thing that

Tony setting the apartment on fire

I’d love to hear you explain this one Mr Stark

Irrelevant, also you can just move into the state of the art apartment at stark towers what a coincidence that it’s empty

[just-things-things]

Peter Stark was kidnapped on a warm summer day when he was six years old. In Miami, he had been swimming with his father in their backyard when his father heard a crash come from the house. The man recalled this day in his mind many times. Sometimes, he wonders if everything was made-up, if his mind was forcing him to believe something completely different. He wonders if he told his son where he was going, “I’ll be right back Pete.”

His son grinned back at him, always such a trusting boy. Reaching the patio door, Tony listened to eerie silence. It made his veins run cold, activating the Iron Man wrist, he kicked open the door. As soon as it opened, a racoon scurried away, scaring the living daylights out of him, and causing him to shoot a rocket, shattering the glass door.

Tony sighed in relief; he’d have JARVIS check over the footage later to see how the rodent got in. He took his time getting back outside, especially now that he knew there was no real threat and that his boy was always extra careful. He decided to put together their lunches and grab extra juice boxes.

Emerging from the house, he called, “Pete! Come eat!” Beginning to pick up the scattered glass, he heard footsteps running toward him. About to scold the boy to watch out for the glass, he was shocked when it was R-2 charging him instead. Peter had insisted on getting a dog, despite Tony’s allergy for them. He truly would do anything to make him happy, “Peter, c’mon, I know you’re hungry!”

With no response, he stepped over the glass and began his trek to the pool area, his pace quickening the longer the silence remained. With the area in sight, Peter was nowhere to be found. Tony rushed over, glancing inside the water to make sure Peter hadn’t fallen in.

Checking behind the trees and crevasses in his yard, the man called for his son, “Peter! Peter, where are you?” His yelling became more frantic by the second, “Peter, this isn’t a game! Come out right now!”

Tony had checked the entirety of the backyard, still missing a response. Rushing into the house, screaming the boy’s name, his thoughts ran wild. Sure, Peter was a small kid. He just hadn’t found him yet. And kids loved to play hide and seek, of course they did. Peter was here. He was safe.

“JARVIS,” he barked, mentally cursing. Peter would have scolded him for that, “Where’s Peter?”

The cool, British accent made him even more irritated, “It seems Master Peter is not located within the house.” After Tony shoved another door out of his way, the AI suggested, “Mister Stark, would you like me to enable the outer drones?”

“Yes!” Tony was seething, opening the front door, he watched as a drone took off from the roof. He had the best technology in the country, if not the best in the world. JARVIS would find him. Maybe Peter had just found a hole big enough in the gate to fit through.

Two hours and twelve minutes later, SHIELD would arrive at his house. Three hours and fifty-six minutes later, Peter Stark would be pronounced missing. His face would be broadcasted across national television for days, his name covering all the newspapers.

Pepper and Rhodey would later find him at a SHIELD compound, demanding Fury to set up a missing persons unit within the organization. He held tightly to R-2’s leash, nose running and eyes watering, but god damn it, his kid was missing and nothing else mattered more than that.

Fury agreed to help the man find his child, under the circumstances that he wouldn’t get involved with their work. After negotiation, Tony allowed this if he could look on his own without interfering with their work.

Rhodey and Pepper escorted him back to Stark tower, deciding it was the best if their friend stayed away from the crime scene. They stayed for an extra two more weeks making sure Tony got at least six hours of sleep and enough food in him.

They wanted to find their nephew as badly as Tony did, but they knew it would be a lost cause if he was only working on half a mind.

One year later, Peter’s missing persons case was closed. After the police stopped looking, SHIELD also went down. Tony offered to pay them as much they needed to keep the unit up and running, but Fury had broken it down to the barest essentials, even if it left Tony feeling defeated, “Stark. There’s no footage, no witnesses, and no clues or hints. It would take a miracle to find him. SHIELD doesn’t have time for miracles, he’s a lost cause.”

Tony got in a couple punches before a guard restrained him. Getting back to the tower was easy, and his fury only caused him to search harder. He wanted to prove Fury wrong. His son wasn’t just a lost cause. Peter, now seven, was still out there, he knew it. Maybe a father’s instinct some would call it. He was alive, Tony just had to find him.

-----------

On August 10, Tony, Pepper, and Rhodey began a new tradition. Peter would be eight years old now. Together, they’ll design the missing boy a room at Stark tower. It’s right across from his own, the door decorated with Star War’s ships and droids.

When inside, they’re encountered with dark blue walls with custom painted Star War’s characters on them. His bed sheets and comforter has a galaxy design coating it. The rest of the room is outlined by white shelves covered in Knick Knacks. His walk-in closet is refreshed with new clothes trending in children magazines. Tony hopes he got the right size.

To complete the second half of the tradition, the trio hopelessly tries to bake a cake, (It’s mostly Pepper baking while Rhodey and him read off the directions.) Then, after everything has cooled off, they’ll go sit on Peter’s carpeted floor and eat the cake. R-2 will curl up on the bed and one slice will be left on the balcony until the birds find it.

Tony knows Peter’s coming home soon. It’s only a matter of time.

-----------

The tradition continues for three years with no problems. It’s not until the day before his boy’s birthday that Fury calls Iron Man and War Machine for a mission. Tony goes off on Cap when he tries to defend the man, of course, Rodgers might not know the full story, but he has no right to say, “The good of the people is more important than your personal interests, Stark. No matter what it is can wait, we have a job to do.”

If it weren’t for Rhodey, they probably would have spent more time getting “America’s righteous man” to a med bay than on the mission.

Nonetheless, they both make it back to the tower in time for cake on the floor. Tony decides he’ll have to redecorate Peter’s room tomorrow.

-----------

When Peter turn’s thirteen, his room is moved to the Avenger’s Compound where Tony is now residing. This time, only him and Pepper are decorating the boy’s room. Rhodey was pulled away for a mission in the Air Force.

The walls are now colored a forest green, accented by yellow and brown markings. Tony wonders if Peter would like it like this or prefer to switch the places of the desk and the bed. That’s ok, he’ll tell Tony when he gets home. He knows Peter is coming home this year.

Pepper and Tony eat the cake in silence, the only noise is R-2’s steady breathing.

-----------

During the next birthday, Tony spends it alone. He’s forced to buy a store-bought cake after he almost makes the oven explode. He makes sure to buy the best one he can find, a three-tiered vanilla cake decorated with chocolate swirls.

In the end, it’s not the same. He wonders if Peter savor the taste, leaving a comically large piece of cake on the windowsill.

-----------

The week before Peter’s fifteenth birthday, they’re forced to put R-2 to sleep when she is unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. When the day does come, Tony’s alone again in Peter’s room. It’s unchanged, and the cake is starting to make him sick.

Now, there’s no dog resting on his leg, no best friend across from him and sharing the cake, or hope. Tony realizes one thing, Peter’s never coming home. He wonders if his boy is still alive, if his son is in another country.

Maybe someone else rescued him, maybe he doesn’t remember Tony at all, maybe he’s living with an entirely different family.

Tony wishes for one thing as he blows out the birthday candles:

“Please, be happy.”

Birthday Surprise-Peter Parker x Reader

(A/n- Just something that popped into my head, sorry it's been so long since I've last wrote something, requests are open so feel free to send me requests)

Y/Ns POV

Cancelled plans, rearranged dates...I guess I thought today would be different, I thought that maybe today, just for once, he could not make first. Today's my birthday...and I was meant to be spending it with my boyfriend Peter, Peter Parker, but you probably know him as Spiderman. That's who he is now, he's Spiderman, he's a hero, god knows how many times he's helped saved the world..and I know what I'm feeling is selfish, but recently we've barely seen each other, it's been lucky if we've even got an other together between him saving the world and high school….its definitely out a strain on our relationship that's for sure.

But I decided that I was still gonna enjoy my birthday, and I was gonna do it but the way I wanted too, normally I'd be out partying with my friends and getting a little tipsy, or away in another country with my parents(they travel a lot due to their jobs), but today, today I was gonna spend my birthday watching my favourite movies with a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream in my PJs as my Aunts at work (she's a lawyer so starts work ridiculously early and most nights doesn't get back til quite late).  

I sat down on the sofa watching The Maze Runner, eating the ice cream and occasionally looking at my phone to reply to birthday messages that I was getting from my friends and family...but still nothing from Peter, not a single word….I put down my phone, a small sigh leaving my lips..I know he's busy, I just wanted to spend my birthday with the guy I love, but I guess everything happens for a reason. So I turned my phone off and enjoyed the rest of the movies that I had planned to watch

Peters POV

I'd spent the last week trying to find the perfect  present to give to Y/N/N, I know that she feels like we haven't spent enough time together lately and that's all my fault, I put my career infront of the girl I loved...but today, I wanted to make today special for her. I'd already got her a few presents but I hadn't found that perfect present, and thats when I had an idea, but involved Tony Starks help…

*Flashback*

“What do ya want kid?” Tony asked as I entered his lab

“I need to ask a favour….” I replied simply

“Hmm, and what favour would that be? Do you want another upgrade on your suite, have you damaged the suit and need me to fix it...again?!” He asked again, with a hint of irritation in his voice.

“No...no it's not the suit...it's about Y/N/N” I sighed.

“Ah yes, how is Y/N/N, and how does this favour involve her?” Tony asked raising an eyebrow

“She's good...and it involves her because I need your help with making something.it's for her birthday..so the first person I thought of was you..” I explained, Tony looked at me evidently thinking about the idea, until nodding at me

“Sure kid, I'll help, but just this once,’ he said.

~~~~~~~~

Today has been busy as hell, first there was fire on the subway...i helped  to get people out, then there was a robbery at a bank which ended up pushing back all of my plans, until Tony showed up, holding the gift he helped me make in his hand.

“I'll deal with this kid, go spend time with your girl” he muttered in my ear as he handed me her present, before turning around to face the thieves in the bank as I ran out of the bank, shooting my webs and swinging across buildings, until I got to Y/N/Ns aunt's apartment.

Y/Ns POV

I was lying on the sofa, the carton of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream long since finished, and I had moved on to my next movie, The Hobbit. And then someone rudely knocked on my door, I sighed in frustration as I lifted my body from the sofa and walked towards the door.

“This better be important” I muttered under my breath before opening the door and seeing Peter standing infront of me, holding a bunch a flowers, a small teddy that was holding a love heart with 'girlfriend’ on it and a bag of marshmallows (normal people like chocolates on their birthday...but not me , whenever someone buys me food for my birthday it's usually marshmallows cos I love them). I was shocked by all the gifts that he had brought, considering that I thought he'd forgotten about my birthday completely. I opened the door wider so that he could come in and once he had put all of the presents down, I tackled him in a hug, instantly he mirrored my movements as his hands instantly wrapped around my waist holding me close

“I’m sorry, I would've been here earlier but things came up, I'm so so sorry” He whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek quickly.

“It's okay, I'm just glad you're here now" I replied, crimson blush creeping on to my face.

“Thank you for the gifts by the way” I said as I pecked his lips before holding his hand and walking over to the sofa.

“This movie again? Isn't it like the millionth time you've seen this?” He joked wrapping his arm round my shoulders.

“Millionth and one I'll have you know!” I chuckled, rolling my eyes.

We were watching the movie, eating marshmallows, snuggled with each other…. I was happy, I didn't think that my day was gonna be like this, I didn't think I was gonna be able to spend the day with Peter, but I'm happy that I am.

“Y/N/N?” Peter asked,causing me to look away from the movie and at him.

“I still have one present left to give you” he said as he pulled out a black box from his pocket.

I opened it, and was stunned by what I saw. It was a red and blue spider on a diver chain. It was breathtaking.

“Peter...it's gorgeous,” I stated before kissing him again.

“Well, I can't take all the credit, Tony helped me create it, but I thought this way there's always a piece of me with you” Peter explained, kissing my forehead before taking the necklace out of the box and putting it around my neck.

“Thank you, for coming today, I know you have a lot going on….” I mumbled as I lied on the sofa.

“Anything for my girl, happy birthday,” he whispered back again, kissing me on the lips again and turning his attention back to the movie.

Today was a real surprise, but it was a good one. And in all honesty: us two spending time just like this is the best present I could've asked for today.
