some days all i think about is youuuu,,,,, *the thinking being about johnny and peter trick or treating together and going to haunted houses. johnny being all tough about it but he's the one that always gets terrified and clings to peter, bc peter can sense all of the jumpscares and peter just lets him hold his arm as tight as he wants. johnny ends up losing over half of his candy just by dropping it in the haunted house and not wanting to go back in. they meet up with reed, sue, ben and the kids at one point and keep trick or treating with them but ben’s an ass and keeps scaring johnny over and over again and by the end johnny’s a jittery mess and peter knows it. they all head back to the baxter building, reed and ben laughing over something too old for any of them to understand and sue making remarks, while peter gives franklin a ride on his shoulders and johnny’s piggy-backing a sleepy valeria. once the kids are all settled into bed ben pulls one last scare on johnny, really freaking him out and it ends up with johnny entirely leaving the baxter building. ben has no idea what’s got up the kids ass, sue’s scolding him for doing such a thing. peter makes eye contact with reed momentarily and it’s a second long agreement and peter excuses himself. he leaves to find johnny, of course, at their meeting place. they sit and watch new york celebrate the spookiest of days from above, knowing they were fine in their safe space, joking around. after awhile johnny pipes up with a small ‘was i overreacting back there?’ and he sounds so insecure, mostly because he’s never been scared so witless before. faced with death and impossible to pull-out-of dilemmas he’s never been that spooked. but peter stares back at him with the sternest eyes he can manage and says ‘johnny, everyone gets scared. you know that. and don’t give me “but i’m the human torch” crap. you know even you can get scared sometimes.’ and johnny stays silent for the longest time. then he looks at peter, who hasn’t looked away yet, and gives the smallest of smiles. ‘you’re such a weirdo for pep talks. hanging around reed way too much.’ and they eventually manage to go back to peter’s apartment, johnny sending sue a quick text to let her know where he is, and the rest of their night is filled with watching old rom-coms under one of peter’s filthy old blankets his aunt may gave him, and johnny falls asleep with his head on peter’s shoulder, the fear from earlier entirely gone.*
