#to clarify in that particular moment peter was correctly identifying that tony was Anxious and inviting him to talk about it

[fic: wicked love] So Peter, can you sense pheromones? Did you have a sense of what Tony was thinking about when you were sharing a bed? 👀

What? No! I mean-- yeah, I could hear his heart so I knew he was making himself anxious, and I sort of-- after we figured out that skin-to-skin touch was helpful I just… It’s Dad, I knew he would at least think about it? If just to rule it out, and… When it kept happening I could kind of put together that he was thinking about, um, helping me sometimes. Did Dad think it was pheromones?

#fic: wicked love #wicked love: peter #ursa interlude: #to clarify in that particular moment peter was correctly identifying that tony was Anxious and inviting him to talk about it #because he himself spent the whole fic being desperate to actually talk about the elephant in the room #he didn't know in that moment that tony was anxious because he was thinking about sex with peter #but he did put it together later as part of a general pattern #tony himself was just being paranoid and projecting his guilt/anxiety about Thinking About Sex With His Son #+ not at all catching on that peter was repeatedly trying to get him to talk about the situation throughout the fic #and peter asking 'what were you thinking about' was an invitation and not an. accusation??? for lack of a better word????
