❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

Johnny winces, his nose twitching irritably as Yelena's fingers graze his hair. He's particular about it and even though he knows she's trying to help, it's...catching a nerve. He sort of jolts back from her gentle attempt at smoothing it out.

"I'm-- Let me get it," he grumbles, reaching up to mess with it himself. "I got-- Here...I got it!" Except he definitely doesn't, not without a mirror, but he's stubborn and unwilling to accept the help if he won't be able to check her work. It's already got him stressed out enough to discover it hadn't been perfect on their way out...

[flamingstorm]

"You   know   exactly   what   you’re   doing."

"Doing? I'm not doing anything, Lena," Johnny insists despite his wide, puppy-dog eyes blinking at her pleadingly. He even juts out his lower lip in a subtle pout for extra effect.

"I'm just saying, we haven't been out on a date in a while and you should cancel whatever plans you have for tonight to go out with me, that- that's all!" Hands tossed up in surrender. "Say no and I won't ask again, okay? Okay." Except he's still got the puppy eyes going, still very clearly begging her to just say yes.

a comic book store sporting bright posters & dozens of tradable goods.

(mostly bc them wearing baseball caps and thinking they’re undercover and laughing at their own comic books and action figures would be so funny)

"You know, one time I got Johnny Storm in a cereal box," Johnny says in a hushed tone as they flip through another comic book. A fingertip taps a poster of himself, though at the moment he's got a baseball cap and sunglasses on to cover his face a little. It's not working, but the effort is there.

"Coolest toy ever. He even said his signature catchphrase, ya know? Torch up or whatever..." Lips purse to try and hide amusement, but then he shakes his head slowly in distaste. "Theeen, Ben got a hold of it and it was all over..." A frown. Yes, he's still mad about that and he may just buy a new action figure as replacement while they're here snooping.

[flamingstorm]

“The people that are worth your time won’t care if you look ‘perfect’ all the time. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself Johnny.”

Sometimes Sue just needed to offer some Big Sister Advice™️ to her little brother.

@arandomnerdsrp358

Johnny rolls his eyes the instant Sue opens her mouth. Damn you, big sis. His lips purse and he clicks his tongue dismissively.

"I'm...not putting pressure on myself," he replies a bit sharply, though the way his fingers are still playing with his hair says otherwise. His gaze barely even drifts over to Sue, still focused on the mirror. He clears his throat, blinks...adjusts his hair again.

"I'm just...You know, trying not to be a total mess in front of billions of people. I think that's a- a- a...perfectly reasonable standard to achieve."

She stiffens. A moment that feels foreign, held by someone who cares so deeply about her, her own body rebelling against the very idea that any person could care about her at all. She stiffens and stills, but she stays in his arms. A warmth envelops her in a way that the fire from his arm could never come close to. Her mind races — then Yelena succumbs to the man’s grasp and deflates against his chest, just a few fresh tears escaping down the tracks where the others had dried minutes before.

Johnny holds her and presses a kiss to her head and comforts her in a way her nightmares told her she didn’t deserve and Yelena was sure that if she had any amount of energy left inside her body, she could have suffocated at the weight of it all. But she was far too exhausted to do even that. Instead, the blonde sucked in a sleepy, stuttering breath and pulled away. She pressed a kiss to the corner of Johnny’s mouth and exhaled. “I know,” Yelena mumbled quietly in the silence of the room. “I know you will. That feels scarier than the nightmares.”

[flamingstorm]

Although he's learned by now that telling her he won't leave her, that she isn't alone isn't something that she will so easily accept, he refuses to stop saying it. One day, maybe, it will be more of a comfort to her than a burden. One day. For now, he feels her pull away and it makes his chest hurt, his stomach churning as he fights against the desire to pull her back into his arms.

The soft kiss to the corner of his mouth gives him a moment to release the breath in his lungs. His lip quivers slightly, but he manages to bite it down. It's dark enough now that at least she can't see the pain he feels for her. However, the expression is only exacerbated by her next words.

That feels scarier than the nightmares.

In a way, it hurt. He would never tell her, but it kills him to know that he's hurting her worse than her nightmares. Scaring her, even. the idea of it makes his chest ache again, tears stinging his vision before he can stop them.

"Uhh..." The sound comes out amidst an exhale, his voice trembling slightly. He sucks in a sharp breath. "Yeah...I- I- I know..." he mumbles, blinking rapidly as his gaze drops to his lap. He straightens a bit and clears his throat. "Sorry..."

where ever he was, clark was glad there was at least a yellow sun. being in an alternate world wouldn't been difficult enough, but without his powers? that would have been a whole other can of worms. ' brother-in-law. right. ' so fighting crime? threats? whatever they considered this was, seemed to be a family affair. clark couldn't help but wonder if that made it easier or harder.

' mr. fantastic. alright. guess its about as embarrassing as calling yourself superman. ' technically it had been lois that had first given him that name, but he'd never tried to go by something else, either. ' what can i call you? '

[flamingstorm]

Superman.

The word makes Johnny snort a laugh, his cheeks puffing out slightly as he tries to hold it back with little success. "I dunno if it's that embarrassing..." he mutters with a smirk. However, that smirk is wiped off his face when he's asked what he should call him.

"Oh, uhh...Well..." A smug shrug of his shoulders, puffing his chest out a little. "Around here, they call me the human Torch, but..." He extends a hand for the superman to shake, extinguishing the flames on it so that he doesn't burn him. "The name's Johnny. Johnny Storm." A smile. Then, he points out the woman using force fields to help Reed. "And that's my sister, Sue. And that..." Another point towards the giant rock man. "Is Ben."

she handed him the second shot, took another one for herself, and then took two beers out of her fridge. something was telling her it was going to be a long night. ' yeah. superman tries not to throw cars, but the justice gang isn't always so considerate. ' especially green lantern. guy did not care at all about property damage. guess that wasn't in his green lantern vows.

' what's it called then? ' even if writing an article about a super hero from a different reality would be insane, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. ' and whats your metahuman situation like? i'm guessing you're not the only one. we've got....a lot. seemingly more every day. ' and that wasn't counting vigilantes like batman that had no apparent powers but could still stand toe to toe with even superman.

[flamingstorm]

“Yeah, we try not to ruin people’s property if it’s at all avoidable, but…” He quirks a brow in thought and then sucks in a breath, thinking back to Galactus trampling down the city. “Well, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, so.”

As the beers are grabbed, he pops one open with ease and takes a gulp. “Central City,” he says a bit proudly. At first, the idea of metahumans sort of throws him off and he frowns, mouth opening and closing until he pieces together what she means. “Me, my sister, Sue, uhh..brother in-law, and Ben.” He shrugs and waves a hand dismissively. “Space accident. Ya know, normal..uh, stuff.” He's trying to act casual so she won't ask for details on the whole traumatic incident.

“More everyday, huh? Wonder where they’re all coming from…” Yes, move the conversation along. He frowns in thought as he takes another sip from the beer. “Kinda weird. Don’t you think?”

continued with @thunderboltbelova from (x)

There it is. That smile. It lights up her face, her eyes, and makes Johnny's heart flutter in a way that he can't really explain. In a way that no one has ever made his heart flutter before... It only beats faster when she calls him a dork. A stifled hum of laughter, his grin spreading. Then, he moves to walk alongside her again so he doesn't trip. A light nudge to her shoulder.

"Rude..! And what if I hurt myself, Yelena? Would you still be having fun?" A teasing grin as he leans in her face a little, their noses briefly brushing. As he pulls away, he glances in the opposite direction to hide the blush in his cheeks.

They're both being subtle about the change from their friendship to being an actual relationship. While he's a little impatient to share that with the public, he's also not about to make a move that makes Yelena uncomfortable. More cotton candy jams down his throat before he can say anything he'll regret.

"The--bear!?" Johnny frowns, swirling around and spotting the impossibly huge bear stuck to the roof of the stall. He squints at it, lower lip jutting out for a moment. "Ohh! Yeah, clearly," he agrees with a scoff. "My bad. Bear it is. Come on..!" Without even thinking, he grabs her hand and drags her over to the stall, tossing the empty cotton candy stick into the nearest waste bin.

watching fantastic 4 again with subtitles this time and seeing that Ben said, "don't listen to him. you're handsome." when moleman insulted Johnny's clothing made me realize how insecure Johnny probably actually is about his appearance, which is why he's always perfecting his hair and stuff. like probably got more insecure with being in the spotlight and being every woman's favourite hero just feeling like he has to be hot at all times because that's all people see him as and i'm emotional now.
