Well, I sorta feel like I"m breaking a record or something...seeing as there's been what, like two slash fics for this fandom, and neither involving this pairing. Not sure if achievement or...Anyway; it's here, it's done, and I'm fairly happy with it, seeing as I've been wanting to write something for this show for the longest time. Hope you enjoy the 30 days~!

"And another thing Matchstick-"
"Uh Ben, I need Johnny right now…" Reed stated calmly to his best friend, who was currently covered in a variety of what looked to be pizza toppings.
"Oh c'mon Stretch!" The Thing shouted as the blonde in question tried (and failed miserably) to suppress a chuckle, which didn't go unnoticed.
"Oh, he's all yours later, but I need him for something in the lab." The FF leader explained with a smirk pointed towards Johnny, who responded with a look of surprise, "Besides, you need to get that…stuff off." He grimaced at the goo covering Ben's shoulders.
"Alright, but you're gettin' a beatdown later FlameBrain." The rocky hero muttered as he headed to his room. Johnny chuckled as the two entered the elevator, with Reed entering the numeric code.
"Soo, what's this big 'thing' you needed me for?" He asked knowingly as he rolled his sapphire eyes, "And are you really gonna let RockSlide beat me?" At this Reed turned to face the flame hero, golden eyes matching the grin that graced his lips.
"I do technically need you for something, but I really wanted to…talk to you about something…" he muttered right before they entered the lab, the cerulean lights ablaze.
"Abouttt?" Johnny asked, raising a confused pale eyebrow.
"About…'us', I'm really not even sure what to call it…" he mumbled as he closed the distance between the two heroes.
"Uh, they're usually called a couple…gee, for the smartest-"
"That's not what I meant." The stretchy scientist cut him off, "Look, I just…I just want to know when you want to tell them…" he drifted off and looked towards something on the screen. Johnny's curious look turned to slightly…upset?
"Reed, you know I…"
"I know you're not 100% comfortable with…'this'." He gestured to the space between, which had the flame hero shaking his head.
"It's not that, not that at all. It's just…I mean c'mon Reed, you're my sister's ex-boyfriend!"
"Ex being the key word here!"
"I don't care what everyone else says about us, I just…I just don't want Sue to think that…that I stole you or something like that…" Johnny's gaze drifted towards the floor, a move very unlike the Human Torch. Reed's hand drifted towards his keyboard at first (Out of inability to think of anything else), but then shifted to Johnny's, lacing his fingers with his own. The scientist wrapped his free arm around Johnny's waist, pulling them closer.
"We don't have to tell them yet…" he admitted into the spikey blonde mess Johnny called hair.
"Thank you…" was the whispered reply.
