I‘m thinking about the question of if Johnny and Peter make their relationship public (because nobody believes Johnny has been single for that long) who they would tell the public he’s dating.
Because Peter Parker would be put aggressively into the public eye with that, which is the one thing he doesn’t want for Peter Parker. He wants Peter to be a face in the masses, someone people don’t pay attention to in order to protect his secret identity. Dating Johnny Storm pretty much doesn’t go with that.
But the Fantastic Four have an image to contain. One of them dating menace vigilante Spider-Man would cause uproar. Also they just make both their superhero identities more vulnerable with that (or at least it would seem like that to the public. People thinking they’d save each other before saving a bystander or something). Spider-Man is illegal and the Four would be in some trouble if the public found out they fuck with Spider-Man like that (Ha).
Also they all know that they can’t control themselves on the battlefield. If Johnny would date Peter and still treats Spidey like… that, it would be just a matter of time before someone finds them making out full costume in an alley.
I personally think he’d date Peter Parker in the end, even though I want it to be Spider-Man. Maybe Peter would reveal his identity eventually, maybe after Spidey is caught with Johnny like that. But my main result from this is that Spideytorch is really complicated like damn
