Peter had a permanent room at the compound since he stayed every weekend. At this point it's stocked full of clothes Tony had bought him so he was definitely not going to run out of clothes. When Peter first started staying he had to bring an overnight bag each weekend and sometimes he forgets to pack extra clothes or sometimes Happy picked him up from school and his bag was at home and Peter usually wouldn't realize till he got to the compound.
Peter walked into the common room looking for Tony only to find Pepper sitting on her laptop. She saw him and smiled.
"Hey Pete nice to see you again" Pepper said smiling.
"Hey Pepper nice to see you, is Tony in the lab?" Peter asked.
"Not at this moment I hope. I sent him to a meeting, he should be back in a few hours" Pepper said with a chuckle.
"Oh ok well I totally spaced out and forgot to bring a change of clothes. I was hoping he could drive me to get them. I even packed the bag but then I left it in my room" Peter said laughing.
"Pete just borrow one of Tony's t-shirts, I'm sure he won't mind. You look basically the same size." Pepper said smiling.
"Are you sure he won't mind?" Peter asked.
"Pete I wear them all the time, they're quite comfortable" Pepper said with a smirk.
"If you're sure he won't care then okay, I'd rather not make him drive back to Queens" Peter said walking towards Tony's room.
Pepper just smiled.
Peter entered Tony's closet and was blown away by how many clothes the man owned. He walked over and opened a drawer and saw a bunch of t-shirts most of them band tees. Peter picked a random one out and noticed how soft it really was. Peter paused for a moment and decided to put it on and looked in the mirror. He was wearing Tony's Black Sabbath Tour shirt but he couldn't help but smile even knowing that the shirt was clean it still gave him that presence that Tony was near which comforted him. Peter grabbed his shirt and walked back out to the common room and saw Pepper smiling at him.
"See, told you. You couldn't even wait to put it on Pete. It looks good on you, can't wait for Tony to see you in one of his favorite band shirts" Pepper said grinning.
"Oh I didn't mean to pick his favorite one I can grab a different one" Peter said nervously
"Pete all his band shirts are his favorites shirts you should know that by now" Pepper said laughing
"True he does have a lot. I think he has more clothes than you" Peter said laughing.
"That still is debatable" Pepper said with a grin.
Peter smiled and started walking to the media room where he saw Sam playing video games.
"Hey Sam I bet I can cream you in this game" Peter said with a evil grin.
"You're so on Kid" Sam said handing him a controller.
What took place was the most competitive game of Mario Kart Pepper had ever heard which made her chuckle. She kept overhearing Sam threaten Peter.
"You better not use that blue shell you punk"
"I going to strangle you if you mention this again kid"
Peter obviously crushed Sam.
Not much later Tony walked in looking annoyed.
"Hey Pep" Tony said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"How was the meeting Tony?" Pepper asked.
"Don't remind me it was annoying" Tony said rolling his eyes.
"Sorry but you have to do your share for your company" Pepper said sarcastically.
"I know Pep but doesn't mean I have to be happy about it" Tony said
"Well Peter is here so that should make you happy" Pepper said pointing at the media room.
Tony grinned and walked towards the room.
When he entered he saw Peter and Sam playing some video game and he smiled.
"Hey kid you kicking the falcon's butt?" Tony said with a smirk.
"Shut up Stark, the kid's getting destroyed in this game" Sam said boastfully
"I creamed him in Mario kart though" Peter said smiling.
Sam scowled.
"Good job kid but now you've got to face the master" Tony said grinning.
"I've beaten you many times now you know that" Peter said laughing.
Sam laughed.
"Pete, are you done losing at this game? Do you want to go to the lab?" Tony asked.
"Yes thanks for the games Sam" Peter said waving at Sam.
As Peter got up Tony noticed his shirt and grinned.
As they were walking to the lab Tony asked, "So Pete, since when were you a Black Sabbath fan? If I knew, I would have gotten us tickets for their last tour."
Peter went red, "Oh you noticed, uhm it's your shirt. I forgot a change of clothes and Pepper said I could wear one of yours and she said you wouldn't mind" Peter said nervously.
"Pete that's fine. I don't care if you need to borrow a shirt, that's always okay. But remind me to get you some extra clothes for your room. It never hurts to have extras here in case" Tony said smiling.
"Uhm ok thanks Tony" Peter said smiling.
"No problem kiddo" Tony said smiling.
That night when Peter went to bed, he fell asleep easily and was not haunted by any nightmares.
Even after Tony had bought him clothes for his room, Peter still liked borrowing Tony's shirts because they made him feel safe. Peter would wear them to school occasionally but mostly just slept in them. Tony never questioned it until one day.
"Hey Pete where are all my t-shirts?" Tony asked.
"Uh I may have borrowed some of them" Peter said with a grin.
"Pete like I said I don't mind you borrowing some of them but you can't steal all my shirts, okay kid?" Tony said with a chuckle.
"Okay Tony that's fine" Peter said leading Tony into his room.
Peter reached into his dresser and was digging out all of Tony's shirts and a pile was forming on his bed.
Tony was grinning, he saw the black Sabbath shirt Peter was the most hesitant to hand back.
"Pete you can hold on to a few for now, I just don't want you having them all at once okay?"
Peter nodded happily, grabbing a few shirts including the Black Sabbath shirt.
"And Pete you can keep the Black Sabbath shirt, it's yours" Tony said smiling.
"Really Tony you sure?" Peter asked.
"Yeah I want you to have it kiddo" Tony said with a smile.
Peter hugged Tony tightly which he gladly accepted.
As Tony grabbed his remaining shirts from the bed and started walking out the room, he noticed out the corner of his eye how much that shirt really meant to Peter as he was putting it on again. He realized that his shirt was like Peter's security blanket. Tony smiled and left.
