The things we do for love

"Come on Pete, you know you can't get mad at me, as a matter of fact, I'm trying to help you but you putting all the blame on me isn't gonna help." Tony was frustrated.

Peter knew he couldn't blame his dad, especially after all he's done for him, but blaming himself would make matters worse, he didn't want to do that to himself. Peter got to walk around the house and Stephen made sure he didn't overwork himself but he wanted to go out as Spider-Man and that definitely wasn't gonna happen.

Peter did try to sneak out and once he hurt himself even more because he had slipped. His doctor's dad had come up to him and put a spell to full the pain but peter was in tears, not because he was physically hurt but because he couldn't be like he used to be. "I just wanna go out there again." "Pete, honey I know I understand." Peter just looked down at his legs and just nodded, because those words were heard too often now that he started to think it was just talking to talk. Stephen noticed that and continued, "you know, I was just like you, my hands will never be the same." He said showing his scars to peter. He had seen them before but not like this. "These were made because of my arrogant ass driving like a lunatic and crashed into someone else. That other person could have died but I didn't care because I was a very wealthy, selfish man. And when they operated and helped me, I stood there in disappointment because the work that they had done was poor and I could have done better, I had even yelled at your father. That wasn't pretty. And now here I am learning from my mistakes and learning that patience is key to everything." Peter looked at Stephen with a sorry look like now he feels guilty for being so selfish about his actions. "Oh dad, I didn't know, like I knew about your hands but never how you felt about them." "It's ok really, tony always says that he loves me because my scars are what make me strong and are a constant reminder of what I've gone through, now let's tuck you back to bed." Stephen tucked Pete's ribbed. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. You only have a week left to wait, so you'll recover fast. Just be patient ok?"Stephen kissed Pete's forehead and he sang him a tune and they both fell asleep.

Tony soon after entered the room to check on peter and saw Stephen along with him. He smiled and grabbed Stephen into his arms. "Thank you" he whispered. "For what?" Stephen asked. "For helping peter. I heard you and every word you said. I love you for that" Stephen smiles and gave tony a kiss and managed to get off the peter's bed without waking him. "Come on let's go to bed."

"Good night."
