A story in which Peter Parker thinks and says that he's fine, but really isn't. Tony notices. TRIGGER WARNING: Panic attacks and possibly other mental health issues- may include self harm, I'm not sure yet. ON HIATUS- NEW CHAPTERS SOON

When a tragic event occurs in Peter's life, Tony tries to help, becoming more and more attached to the kid as more and more things happen. Peter is broken and Tony's trying to fix him...not realizing that he's slowly getting cut by the shattered pieces. This story is completed! TRIGGER WARNING: please read chapter titled 'important' for details!

Accused with the murder of his own Aunt, Peter runs from the crime but also the Avengers facility and Mr. Stark. Although it felt like the best option, Peter is faced with pain, choices, mistakes and challenges he thought he'd never see. And he's sorry for all the hurt he's caused.

Peter's been through a lot in his life, so when something so horrible happens to his aunt, it messes with him and causes a chain of events.

As with anyone, there are parts of all stories you keep secret from the world. For example, you probably wouldn't want to admit you sprained your ankle tripping on paper when you were seven. But what if your stories and secrets were so much worse? What if you're Peter Parker, and all you can see is the deaths you've caused, and carry with you day after day? This story will show Peter's physical and metaphorical masks, and how Tony Stark seems to break through them all. - Background: Tony first meets Peter without the suit as a happy, excited intern who hides his problems. Later in the fic he (AUNT) may or (AUNT) may not discover Peter's " extracurricular activities. " This fic may later contain Infinity War spoilers. - Please keep in mind that I have never wrote for this fandom before. As much as I may love the MCU, I may have a few facts wrong or some odd characterization of minor characters. Please bear with me and help me fix those mistakes. :) Highest ranking: #1 in marvelfanfic, #1 in mcufanfic, #1 in irondad, #1 in ironman, #2 in nickfury #1 in steverogers, #1 in spider-man, #1 in spiderman, and #2 in stark SPECIAL THANKS TO @TONYSBOYTOY FOR THE CREATION OF THIS FIC.
