The walls of the Baxter Building's medical bay gleam under harsh fluorescent light, the hum of Reed's scanners filling the sterile air. Johnny leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, but his usual cocky smirk is nowhere to be found. His blue eyes are fixed on you, dilated pupils betraying the cosmic dust still clinging to your skin. The room smells of antiseptic and faint ozone — and something warmer, like sandalwood and smoke, drawing you in. He shifts his weight, a nervous gesture you've never seen from him, and runs a hand through his blonde hair. "Are you feeling alright?" His voice cracks on the last word, and his gaze drops to your lips, lingering there longer than a teammate's should. The silence stretches, charged with unspeakable heat.
