Chapter Text
For as long as Johnny can remember, Reed has had rules for the tower.
One of these rules is is ‘no avengers rule’ that he thought he would put in place because he only thought bad things came of the avengers, they were a sloppy group put together in order to protect the world but they always would get caught up in personal issues and it would always cause public conflict.
The fantastic four hold a stable reputation of each member, any personal issues stay inside the tower or they never get spoken about.
They have had run-ins with the avengers before, but they always play nice. Johnny has always expected that the avengers don't like them as much as the 4 don’t like the avengers.
This rule became an issue for Johnny a week after he turned 18, he was at his new found usual spot the statue of liberty at night when a noise around him made him flame on and turn round quickly.
“Woah woah woah, calm your horses Flame-brain!” Spiderman said with his hands up as if to surrender.
Johnny lowers himself to the ground, Reed has told him stories about Spider-man. How he was careless, got citizens hurt, and destroyed property of people in New York.
“What do you want?” Johnny spat spat causing the spider to become confused.
“Excuse me? You're in my spot. What do you want! Why are you so rude?” The spider puts his hands on his hips well interrogating Johnny and Johnny rolls his eyes.
But he pauses for a moment, and then Spider-man begins to laugh at him.
“You don't hate me because of the Avengers do you? Oh my god! I thought that was just Reed and Tony's little feud!” Peter laughed as Johnny just stood there unimpressed.
But as he thought about it more and more, Johnny realized that maybe it was just a little feud between them.
Johnny rolled his eyes for the billionth time in that minute and it made Peter roll his eyes in return.
“If you roll your eyes one more time they will get stuck like that.” The spider spoke as he walked down where Johnny was sitting and dangled his leads off the statue's head.
Johnny reluctantly sat down next to him. Sure he didn't have to sit with him but it was the only reasonable answer to have.
Johnny has always had a thing for Spider-man deep down, the suit that he wore hugged every muscle on his body and Johnny would be lying if he said he didn't want to see the face under the mask.
“Relax hotshot” Spidey said, tapping Johnny's hand, he kept his hand there for a moment before removing it. For once Johnny's hand felt cold.
“You think I'm hot?” Johnny asked with a smirk looking over at the super hero, he couldn't resist it.
“The hottest” Peter said without a second thought, and you should have seen Johnny Storm's face at that moment. He was starstuck.
“Wow never thought I could make Johnny Storm speechless” the spider laid onto his back, his feet still dangling off the edge.
“Shut up.” was all that Johnny could get out, he was beyond flustered.
It was silent for a moment before the spider spoke up again.
“So how do you shower?”
This question causes johnny to lay back with Spider-man but turn over to look at him in confusion.
“Huh?” was again all that Johnny could get out.
“Like when you shower does the water just disintegrate, or does it get really really hot, or can you only shower with hot water because the cold water burns your skin?” the Spider-man rambled on well also turning over making every contact cute. All Johnny could think about was how cute this kid was.
“Oh, i gotta shower with hot water or else it burns really bad” the torch said well questioning how all life choices would lead him to talking about showers with Spider-man on the top of the statue of liberty.
“Ohhhhhh yeah that makes sense, so are you ever cold? How does your clothes not burn off?”
This spider guy asks a lot of questions, Johnny just scotches a little closer to him. Peter does in fact notice but doesn't say anything.
“No, I'm never really cold, and they are burn proof? I don't know, Reed made the material.” the spider nodded taking in every ounce of information.
Peter Parker had always kinda had a thing for Johnny Storm, his blue eyes are easy to draw someone in and his body was just the frosting on the cake.
“We probably shouldn't be seen together” Johnny spoke, biting the inside of his cheek as he thought.
“Yeah probably not. ”Spidey said, turning away from Johnny to look up at the stars.
Johnny did the same, he loved the stars, and moon and the way space looked all together. He would kill to be able to go back to space again.

The rest was history with them. They both ignored the rules their families set for them and secretly met up with each other, they texted a lot of the day as well flirty comments back and forth and Peter complaining how cold New York's weather has been getting. Peter hasn't exactly revealed his identity yet to Johnny, it's not like Johnny would know who he was even if he did but whenever one of the two brought food up to the statue of liberty peter would lift up his mask up over his nose.
Johnny didn't know what color eyes Spider-man had, or what color his hair was, or if his eyelashes were long or short, if his hands were soft or rough or anything like that but every time johnny questioned those smaller details he would silently curse himself because if they are only friends then he shouldn't need or want to know those things about his friend.

Spidey
It's actually so cold torch
I cant hangout tonight ill freeze to death

Once Johnny got that text his heart slightly pained. He weighed the options of not hanging out compared to hanging out in his room hopeful without anyone finding out. So he said fuck it to himself and set the message asking spidey to climb up to his balcony at 1 in the morning and come stay over at his room for the night. The message back was instant, he would be there exactly at 1. This made Johnny's breath catch in his throat. God was he really about to have an Avenger in his room?
But the more Johnny thought about that he just wished he would be in his bed with him, not dressed as Spider-man but dressed as himself.
In a smarter world, maybe they would realize sooner how much Peter’s secret identity benefits them. He could just show up as Peter and then could hangout in his room and no one would know he’s Spider-Man.
Johnny himself knew this. But how do you ask someone who shields themselves from the whole world to reveal their secret identity.
So around 1 am Johnny unlocked his balcony door and Spider-man immediately dropped onto the balcony.
Johnny himself wasn’t wearing a shirt, he hated shirts with a burning passion. But he loved his fuzzy PJ pants so what better than a combo of no shirt and fuzzy pants.
“Woah, hey there hot stuff” spidey said as he walked into Johnny's room looking the man up and down.
Johnny rolled his eyes, walking over to the door to his room and locking it before brushing past Spidey to lock the balcony and close the curtains.
“You know it” Johnny said smirking before taking a seat on the front of his bed watching the spider in front of him.
“Isn’t that suit uncomfortable?” Johnny asked, tilting his head.
Peter put his hand on the back of his head Shyly before speaking.
“Yeah kinda after awhile, but it’s okay”
“You don’t have to wear it, here at least” Johnny spoke hesitantly.
The spider's eyes widened but quickly relaxed.
“Just forget it, let’s watch a movie… if you did want to change I have more PJ pants” Johnny said with a slight smirk well scooting up into his bed and patting the left side.
“Sure” Peter responded and Johnny shot up to pull out pajama pants from his drawer and spider man laughed at the enthusiasm.
“Ya know, if you came as just your normal self I’m sure that it wouldn’t be as stressful for us to get caught.” Johnny said as he picked out some fantastic 4 PJ pants with his name along the side, he’d be lying if he said he picked those not to see him wearing something with his name.
“Trying to see my face Johnny?” Spidey asked as he pressed the spider in the center of his suit and the suit disattached from his body making it call off and leave him in his underwear.
Sadly he put on the pants right after so Johnny didn’t get to look at his ass even once.
“That suit is so cool” Johnny said, laying back in bed.
“Answer my question Johnny” Peter wanted to hear him say it, he wanted to hear that Johnny Storm wanted to see his face.
“Yeah” Johnny responded, his throat feeling dry as he responded, suddenly losing a lot of confidence.
Johnny's eyes lingered to the toned body of Spider-man, his abs and arms were more toned than Johnny's times 10 and Johnny worked out quite a bit to maintain his physique.
“My name's Peter by the way” Spidey said as he lifted his mask over his head causing his hair to poof out, dark brown hair with dark brown eyes.
“Woah” Johnny said, it was all he could muster up. The boy was beautiful.
“Woah” Peter repeated, grabbing his suit and stuffing it under Johnny's bed.
A smirk was on Peter’s face as he crawled into the left side of the bed with Johnny.
He looked down at their pants before speaking.
“I gotta get you some Spider-man fluffy PJ pants” Peter said with a smile and Johnny bursted out laughing which caused Peter to laugh more.
“You’re prettier than me” Johnny said suddenly before turning on the tv and clicking on Netflix but he paused after he realized what he said.
“You think I'm pretty, hotshot?” Peter said smirking looking at Johnny, Johnny didn’t dare turn his face towards the gorgeous man.
“ So wanna watch grownups? Or I heard Happy Gilmore 2 is really good” Johnny spoke before he felt a hand on his right cheek pulling his face towards the left.
Then he felt lips on his.
Johnny froze for a moment, not knowing how to process the situation before snapping back into it and deepening the kiss.
Johnny suddenly stuck his tongue into Peters’s mouth which caused Peter to make a noise but didn’t pull back so Johnny rolled with it, it was a slow control make-out with their tongues together running alone each other before Johnny effortlessly picked up the boy and placed him on his lap.
Peter’s hands shot up to Johnny's hair and Johnny placed his hands on Peter’s bare waist tightening his grip knowing his body was heating up.
Their chests were flush with each other as Peter arched on Johnny's lap causing Johnny to groan pulling the boy closer, the make-out got messier with Peter pulling Johnny's hair before pulling back for a breath.
They both sat there looking into each other's eyes.
Brown eyes staring into bright blue ones before Peter leans back in, and they continue where they left off.
