I need you to do the sfw alphabet with the Human Torch if you haven't already I am begging you on my knees
Sfw Alphabet - Johnathan Lowell Spencer "Johnny" Storm
Disclaimer: This is solely based on the Marvel Rivals variant with some slight details from Chris Evan's Fantastic Four 2005-2007 and Joseph Quinn's Fantastic Four: First Steps variants, as well as my own interpretation of the character. Potentially ooc.
I KNOW ITS YOU UNC, BUT I CAN'T PROVE IT! YOU WILL WATCH TEEN WOLF!!!
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Whether it's hugs for Sue, quality time with Reed, fighting hanging out with Ben, or giving bedtime stories to Franklin and Valerie, Johnathan is a jack of all trades, master of all.
When it comes to you, though, he makes sure not just you are aware of his affection, but the whole city of Manhattan as well.
You were walking through New York when you heard bystanders talk of a message in the sky, and low and behold, the words "Love you babe<3" made from smoke just so happened to be right above you, well a few thousand feet up of course, as if a certain fire boy saw you and decided to express himself in that moment.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
A talkative know-it-all who flaunts his fame to get you places you usually wouldn't as a normal citizen, or the pinnacle of a frat boy. Same thing.
Your relationship with Johnathan probably started when you interviewed him at one of the Fantastic Four's guest appearances at a charity event, you asked him questions and whatnot, and he at first liked you for your appearance, but as you got to know Johnathan throughout the years, you've learned just how much he loves behind closed doors.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Oh he is ABSOLUTELY up for it.
Being a.. naturally, hot person, figuratively and literally, Johnathan more than mostly acts as your living toaster when it gets cold.
Likes being the big spoon so he can encompass you in his body as much as possible.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
While Johnathan does like the idea, he's been a hero far too long to possibly give up his position.
Plus, with all the fame and fortune he's garnered, he might as well kick it up for a few more years until the Fantastic Four unanimously agree to end doing hero work.
That, or he secures enough money to ensure you get a permanent stable living and resources for anything you need.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Unlike Chris Evan's Johnny who'd leave you immediately when he got disinterested, I imagine he'd be closer to Joseph Quinn in the sense that he'd be very forward about things, especially if it happens to be a problem for the F4.
F = Fiance (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Quite hesitant to be honest.
On the outside, Johnathan presents a persona of someone who can get and do anything with the flick of his finger, getting girls when he wanted, dinners at what looked like cheap, but on the inside, he's scared.
Don't get him wrong, he'll absolutely hit on any woman he finds hot, but once they want him, not just the Human Torch, but JOHNNY, that's when he gets worried.
Despite the flair and pizazz he seemingly demonstrates so easily, under all that is a man fighting himself to not let his emotions get through.
Poor Johnathan, he's so terrified of what his powers could cause to people, especially those he loves, and ESPECIALLY in the early days after the cosmic gamma ray accident.
The thought, just the mere THOUGHT that he could accidentally light you on fire, or cause an accident that could hurt or even kill you, it scares him more than anything.
He'll light his flames on villains, monsters, demons, at the slightest chance he gets, but with you, it's a battle of life and death, all from what could be one simple thought.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Johnathan is gentle in his own ways.
Physically, he'll usually pat your shoulder, give a light punch, tight hug, and whatnot, but always with a sense of awareness of where you don't like to be touched.
Emotionally however, he knows better than most people what it means to almost lose the ones you love.
After the Silver Surfer brought Galactus to Earth to take Franklin, he knew he had to stop them by any means, and so he and the F4 did.
In the aftermath of that near planet ending event, Johnathan had to seclude himself for a bit to regulate his feelings.
Sweet baby Franklin, not even 3 years old, his own NEPHEW, and he was so close to being taken by Galactus. The thoughts of those events replayed in his head for days on end, making him sob each and every day, even in the present, and that humbled him more than anything.
It took him a few months, but with the help of the F4, Johnathan managed to escape his depression, and become the fiery light he's always been, but now as a light for those in need, not just citizens in danger, but also for those dealing with mental health problems as he did.
Overall, Johnathan knows how to be gentle in times of need.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
If you aren't getting a hug from Johnathan each and every time you cross paths (you live with him), then that's an imposter.
The type of hugger that doesn't mean to be tight with it, but he does it by accident.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
A few months into your relationship.
Despite having had multiple partners in his life, no singular moment felt more real than when he said those words to you for the first time.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
Quite a bit, but also not that much.
Usually uses his fame to include himself into your conversation and saying you need to go to a fancy event.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Hot to the touch, but gentle.
Doctors say your cheeks are the hottest part of your face when you blush, and boy does Johnathan take that and make it his life mission to make you blush when he kisses you on your cheeks.
As for himself, his hair is his special spot. MAYBE his face if he's feeling it he'll let you kiss his chin.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Considering hes been Uncle of The Year ever since Franklin and Valerie were born, I think he's pretty good around them.
M = Mornings (How are mornings spent with them?)
If he's not busy saving the world or going to an event, most mornings with Johnathan usually involve sitting on the couch with him and Ben watching the early morning sports games.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Dates, parties, yachts, the night is when Johnathan REALLY gets to show his wild side, so expect a lot of people, and a lot of booze.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Johnathan is pretty open about himself from the get go.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
You can't exactly be a fire guy if you aren't a hot head, so in most situations Johnathan would prefer to smoke his enemies, but with you, he's as patient as a calm ripple in the ocean.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Most stuff, but some stuff goes over his head.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
It was a few days after Johnathan came back from the negative zone, and here he was, sitting on the edge of his bed.
For the world, they believed the Human Torch was dead, that he sacrificed himself for Earth, and they weren't wrong, but they also weren't right.
Months. Long, agonizing months of being Annihilus' dirtied gladiator, forced to fight till he died, and when he did, he was stitched back together nerve by nerve, bone by bone, vein by vein, all by grotesque centipede aliens who crawled all over his body until he was physically reborn anew, again, and again.
After leading the rebellion and finally escaping that retched hell, he found himself lost in his feelings.
On one hand, he was glad to be back, to know the world truly did love the Human Torch, but on the other hand, he can't erase the memories of what happened.
That was, until you entered the room.
This time, Johnathan didn't bother to put on a persona. He was slouched, eyes frowning, mouth dropped, shoulders tensed, he was so clearly unwell, so you decided to help.
All things considered, it didn't take him long to explain his horror story, but the more he talked, the more concerned you became. Although, it wasn't from the story itself, but for Johnathan's well being. His self, his mind, his anatomy that was so brutally misused and enslaved for entertainment, it was as if the devil himself had chosen Johnathan as his plaything, but you made sure he knew he wasn't alone in his struggles.
Sure, you couldn't exactly emphasize with what happened to Johnathan, but just being able to have his story heard, treated as seriously as it should be, to be seen as just another soul who went through unfortunate circumstances, it made him feel a passion of love he's never felt before. He knew from then on that it was YOU or no one else, and if there's one thing we know about Johnny, it's that he's passion incarnate.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Not that much. Being a living fire hazard means you not don't have to keep weapons, but just the temperatures he can get too can harm anyone who tries to get you.
Protects you in a way similar to his prism ability where it's you, cool and safe on the inside, and fiery hell on the outside.
He would like it though if reed taught you some science stuff to get you out of situations, or for Ben to train you in fighting.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
U = Ugly (What are some bad habits of theirs?)
Just because he's a prankster to the F4 doesn't mean you're exempt from that.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Has a 2 hour skincare routine. I think that says enough.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Significantly, but he's learned to deal with his pain and to let go.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
Somehow forgot he was wearing Peter's suit when he was pranking him and he flamed on...
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
People who don't value their families and their lives.
Z = Zzz (What are some sleep habits of theirs?)
Because he's a living breathing fire machine, he sleeps with just boxers, a thin blanket, and his a/c set to absolute 0.
