[because it's easier to just accept it. to just go with the title tony gives, simply because it's tony saying it. which also goes hand in hand with why he chose to come here first. why, even if the rest of the avengers were here, this is still where he'd choose to be. explaining why that is though... well, it's complicated. and not something he'd need to break down if this was the same tony he left behind.]
I came to you first because you-- [urgh. this shouldn't be so difficult.] Mr Stark, you're kind of my hero, and I don't mean just because you're Iron Man. I get that that makes me sound like some kind of crazy fan, but it's still true.
[nerves getting the better of him, peter's gaze fixes on a spot on the floor, and it takes him a few moments to try and work up the courage to continue. to make his stance on it all clear.
even if the words do come out as a mumble.]
You're a genius, and you use it to do all you can to save lives. You might have stated because of-- Of Afghanistan. But you chose to keep going and to become Iron Man. [his voice picks up, courage growing as he continues. tony might not believe it all, but peter does.] You didn't have to, but you did, and I don't think you realise just how many people you've saved because of that. Bad things are always going to happen, but with heroes like you around, people don't have to be scared all the time. You've helped make the world a better place, and if you need someone to remind you of that sometimes, then I'm your guy.
[okay, so perhaps he went off on a tangent there. but it's no less true.]
Mr Stark, I'm here because I trust you more than anyone else I know. You taught me what it means to be a hero, and I'm not gonna let you down again. [a slow grin, and he adds-] You're stuck with me.
