Irondad fic ideas #122
Peter is always reluctant to let Tony buy him things. It's a point that they argue about constantly (not in an angst way, but not in a joking way either). Every time Tony tries to spend money on him, Peter struggles to accept it and argues that it's too much. Especially when it's for something he just wants rather than needs.
One day, after trying and failing to get Peter to accept some gift, Tony finally gets him to see his side like this:
Tony: What if you had $100, and you saw someone who was hungry and you could just buy them a meal. Wouldn't you do it?
Peter: Well yeah, but-
Tony: What you had $1000 and your best friend Ted was cold and you could just buy him a coat. Even a $400 coat. It'd keep him warm every winter for years. Wouldn't you?
Peter: Yes-
Tony: If you had infinite money and you could just get May jewelry she wanted or just get MJ the art supplies she'd been saving for-
Peter: Okay, yes, I get it
Tony: Kid, you'd spend your last dollar on a stranger. I couldn't spend all of my money in a lifetime if I tried. And I've tried. If you had the kind of money I do, you'd be spending it on everyone you love, all the time. Can't you let me do the same?
