Being the Stark-Rogers' adopted son was everything Peter Parker hoped it would be. He was safe, he was fed, he was comfortable and he had access to anything he could ever possibly need. The problem was that after taking care of himself for so long, asking for things was difficult. Asking for help with things was even more difficult. Meaning that when he suddenly remembering he still owed Ned money, he was determined to work for it. “We can give you the money, Champ. You don’t have to earn it,” Steve said with a genuine smile. He could appreciate the dedication but the kid had been through a lot. And even though things had improved significantly since the adoption, there were still days that it was clear how much Peter struggled with the concept of being taken care of. And Even though he understood the sentiment behind the request, it felt like a slippery slope. He was genuinely concerned that if he gave in and allowed the boy to work for the money he needed to pay back his friend, he would later argue he needed to work for other things as well. He wanted his son to understand they had his back, no matter what. [Follow up to my Homeless Peter Parker AU, Distracted by a Dime]
