Fics like Borrow Hope to Understand

Tony may not be crying, but the warble of his voice tells a different story when he speaks up again. “He was good for me. And he was good. He was the one who helped me understand I didn’t have to throw away what I believed in because of what I had with him. I mean, granted, it took me probably another decade at that point to actually get it, but at least he got the hammer going in my thick skull.” “You do have a thick skull sometimes,” Peter grumbles. “I take offense at that, Underoos. I have a thick skull all the time.” Tony can practically hear the eye-roll in the kid’s tone. “I wonder sometimes what I idolized in you as a kid.” “A question for you to answer, kid, not me. I’m just the washed-up has-been engineer playing with million-dollar titanium alloy toys in his tower.” “I would love to take a dissertation to your face with, like, ninety-five theses on why you’re wrong,” Peter retorts, “but I’m more invested in the story. Why did you...why do you say you didn’t have to throw away everything you believed in?” --- Tony helps Peter in more ways than he'll ever know to come to grips with his sexuality and his feelings about Ned.
