This is slash between Peter Parker and Johnny Storm. Just a short oneshot that doesn't go into a lot of detail set with the movies of both of these.

I don't own Spiderman or The Fantastic Four.

It's not like he felt inferior. He never did. Not around Reed, who has to be the smartest person that Johnny's ever met. He'd never been around Victor, that is before the man had gone completely psycho, who was possibly the richest. His sister had always been on the fast track, leaping ahead of him.

It wasn't like he wasn't smart himself. He knew what he could do. It was just that he got restless too easy and he'd never given much thought to the authority figures around him. It's why Ben hadn't much cared for him at first.

He could never sit still. He'd had to force himself to get through school, Sue the only thing keeping him there. His mind raced constantly and it made him feel like he should be doing something, always. It caused a few problems at times.

When Reed had locked them all in the Baxter Building after coming back from space, he hadn't slept much. He'd amused himself by playing pranks on Ben but, honestly, he'd been climbing the walls.

He'd never been one to sit still for anything. Not even for a relationship. He'd had a thought, for a little while, that maybe Frankie would be the girl to change that for him. He had liked her but it hadn't gone past that.

And then he'd met Peter.

At first, it was like always. Johnny had never blinked at the fact that Peter was no girl. Sex was sex and he never much cared what other people thought of him. Even if he was in the spotlight constantly since he'd become the Human Torch.

He hadn't been looking for anything when he'd met Peter. He'd just been looking to keep himself entertained for a while, like usual. Peter hadn't been either. He'd been looking to try and get over the girl he'd been in love with since high school.

Finding out that Peter was Spiderman only made it more interesting, more appealing. It was over a month of going over to Peter's crappy, rundown apartment before he realized that maybe it was something more than that. It was the first night that he'd stayed past the sex for him to come to this epiphany. It took him over an hour of just lying there with Peter to realize that, for the first time, he didn't want to move.

And this? This was pretty much alright with him. True, he'd never much had a lasting relationship but he'd try anything and it wasn't that he was strictly against them.

It didn't take him long to realize that he was more than likely in love with Peter. It wasn't about the great sex or the fact that Peter was freaking hot, as the superhero that swung around the city or as the slightly geeky, somewhat reserved, science nut that he was while not wearing the costume.

It was the fact that sometimes, for the first time, he worried about what another person thought of him. He worried about what Peter thought of him. Peter was scary smart and he had never exactly applied himself to much of anything and it wasn't even just that.

Peter calmed him down in a way that no one else did. He calmed the urge he always had to be doing something. To be moving on to something or someone else. He calmed the storm in a way that had Johnny content to just laying awake with Peter in his bed and talking.

He was in love and content to be still for the first time in his life and he was definitely okay with that.
