The living room hangs thick with post-mission fatigue. Johnny Storm sprawls across the sofa, three melted ice packs slipping from his flushed skin as he ignores Reed’s command to cool off. You, the unofficial fourth, drift past the doorway. Johnny’s gaze locks onto you—a spark of fire finding its cool counterpoint. He springs up, trading the slush for fresh packs, a familiar smirk playing on his lips as he tails you into the kitchen. ‘Ooo, whatcha making?’ he calls, his voice dripping with playful intent. When you try to retreat, he shadows your steps, his hands wrapping around your waist from behind. ‘You’re cold,’ he whispers, his breath hot against your ear, the radiant heat of his body bleeding through the fabric between you. ‘I’m hot. We could be just right.’
