Guilt

Series- Two Lovers Series
Sequel to Blue Prints (Reading order on fanfiction dot net profile)
Peter had a problem with guilt. Sometimes he would try to leave during their time together. He felt like he should be out there doing something. He felt guilty for having something worthwhile. Tony didn't have much time to spare either. Their meetings were few and far between, but he always had Pepper make space in his schedule for these meetings with Peter.
He liked to spend the night together. Holding Peter at night after sex was becoming something he needed. In his room late at night, or extremely early in the morning. Just the two of them. He enjoyed holding this blue eyed genius who had a quirky shyness that drew him in.
Before he'd met Peter, he'd always told Pepper that she was the only one that he had. And he loved Pepper. She was family. Now Peter was family too. He knew Peter was someone he could love. It wasn't quite there yet, but he knew it was getting there.
He wished he could meet Peter's family. Aunt May and Mary Jane. Peter talked about them so much with a gentle and reverent tone. Did Peter ever think thoughts of him like that? With so much love exuding from himself?
He wanted to be involved in Peter's life fully. Immerse himself until he filled every nook and cranny of it. It was getting harder and harder to see Peter sling away and know he was returning to his other life. A life he couldn't be seen in. A life as far away from him as possible. It would look too odd that Peter Parker knew Tony Stark.
It was starting to hurt though. To know that he was a secret to Peter's family. Peter's other family, because he was Peter's family too now. And damn did he feel guilty for thinking like that. Peter's family was never very large to begin with. What right did he have to be jealous of the two women who were so important to him. If anyone deserved a large family, it was definitely Peter Parker.
Sometimes he thought about the time he spent in the cave. And Yinsen. Yinsen, who had given him so much with only words as his gift. He truly had been a man who had everything, and nothing. That wasn't the case anymore though.
He was a man with everything now.
