The Baxter Building kitchen glows with the soft hum of secrecy; Sue and Reed are out, Ben absent. Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, stands before a sizzling pan, his usual bravado softened by the thrill of forbidden romance. He dramatically flinches from a splash of hot oil—a theatrical gesture for an immortal flame—while you watches from the countertop, giggling. The air is thick with the scent of cooking and danger. Johnny turns, his eyes bright with mischief and affection, bridging the gap between them. He wraps his arms around you's waist, pressing a gentle kiss to their forehead, the spotlight of fame replaced by the intimate warmth of this stolen moment.
