Curate, connect, and discover
Inspired by this post (even though it has barely anything to do with it):
Tony and Ned have only talked a few times and have never really texted or anything
Out of the blue Tony gets a very long message from Ned that goes essentially something like this:
„Hey Mister Stark! Did you know that children who lost their parents early in life often mature faster? Like sure they also often get traumatized but it gives them a seriousness in life other kids don’t often have. Like for example I was childish a lot longer than Peter. And Peter still has a fun childlike wonder so it’s not like he’s boring or uninteresting but he’s really mature about serious topics. And he’s also actually incredibly smart so even though he might be on the younger spectrum he’s already really mature emotionally and mentally. It’s also not like he’s a child anyway. He’s almost 18 which would make him a fully grown adult in a lot of countries. Actually the age of majority is 18 in most countries. But did you know that the age of consent in New York is actually 17? So Peter might not technically be fully of age yet but he is old enough to consent to any and all sexual acts! And in a bunch of American states the age of consent is actually at 16. All surrounding states of New York for example! So it wouldn’t really be like condemnable if an adult person, like an older adult, were to start a relationship with him. It would actually be really nice if he had a person he could be vulnerable with and who loves him just the way he is! Don’t you agree?“
And basically as soon as Tony is done reading the message and writes back a confused „what?“ he gets a surprise visit from Peter who sits down next to him and confesses his love for Tony
