Reed got a new assistant working for him, his own nephew Y/N. He's happy his favorite cousin is working for him. Since he doesn't have any children, he got really close to his nephew. Like Reed, Y/N is interested in mechanics, aerospace and electrical engineering, chemistry, all levels of physics, and human and alien biology.
Y/N and Reed are currently in the lab, working together on their own projects in peace, till it got disrupt by a loud Human torch. "I hope I won't get infected by nerd disease."
Reed, who is working on his computer, turns his head around. "Is there something you want?"
"Yeah, I wanted a new and shiny-" Johnny notices Y/N, who is currently on the other side of the room, looking at bacteria through a lens. Looking more at the boy, Johnny found him cute. For whatever reason, he has a liking on smart men, even though he's quiet dumb.
Reed looks confuse when Johnny stopped talking, but when he stares at his nephew a few seconds, he glares. "Oh no, not again." He stretches his arm, grab Johnny and drag him next to him.
"Hey!"
"You're NOT dating my assistant again." Reed warns Johnny. "You always do this. You think they're cute, go on a date with them and the relationship will end for whatever reason."
Johnny scratches the back of his head, not looking Reed in the eyes. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He chuckles.
"The first date you go you left my ex-assistant in the restaurant because you didn't had the money to pay for the food." Reed calls Johnny out.
"I... I don't remember that!" Johnny lies with a bright smile.
"The second time you had intercourse and almost burned my ex-assistant." Reed glares.
Johnny looks confuse. "'Intercourse'? Wait, you're talking about sex? Because that's when-"
"Johnny!" Reed yells at the man in his arm. "Don't go for my assistant and my nephew." He says annoyed.
Johnny chuckles reassuringly. "Don't worry, I won't go to your assistant."
-
An hour later, Johnny is back in the lab, where it is just Y/N. He smiles, this is the perfect opportunity to flirt with the new assistant.
Johnny walks up to Y/N, who is still researching bacteria. "Hey good stuff. I'm Johnny, and your name is...?"
Y/N looks up to the blonde man. "I'm Y/N. You're Johnny Storm, from the fantastic 4!" He smiles.
Johnny smiles proudly. "That I am. The best member of the fantastic 4, and the hottest one if I may add."
"Yes, you're quite hot, since you can incinerate yourself." Y/N responds.
Johnny thought he was getting a complement, but turns out it wasn't the case, but he doesn't let it stop him. "So anyway, what are you doing?" He starts up a conversation. He knows he needs to seem interested in the other person's life, even if he needs to pretend to understand.
"Oh, I'm analyzing my uncle's DNA." Y/N smiles. He always likes to talk about his work and his passion. "I'm intrigued by the cosmic rays that affected homo sapiens. Even though Uncle Reed has already research this, I wanted to know the answers for myself. My uncle gave me a saliva to analyze it, so I can't do so much." Y/N says disappointed.
Johnny doesn't want to seem confused. What the hell is 'saliva'? Why was Y/N saying 'homo'? "Y'know, I'm something of a scientist myself, so maybe I can help." Johnny leans against the table next to him, trying to be charming.
"Don't you mean biologist?" Y/N asks.
"Yeah, that!" Johnny responds, not wanting to make a buffoon of himself.
"Well, if you don't mind, I need more DNA samples to work with. Something else then saliva. Something more accurate." Y/N became quiet.
"Well, what do you want? I can give you anything." Johnny smirks, reassuring Y/N.
"Well, if it isn't too much to ask, I would like to analyze feces." Y/N embarrassedly says. "I can't ask this to my uncle, you know?"
'Feces', what the hell is that? Johnny doesn't know what the hell Y/N is talking again, but smiles. "Yeah, I can get that."
Y/N looks surprise at Johnny. "You willing do that? Aren't you weirded out by defecation?"
"Well, you know... I love to do it, so might as well help you with it." Johnny smiles and gives Y/N a wink. He turns around and walks away. "I bring it tomorrow!" When he's out of the room, he let out a tired sigh. "What the hell does he want?"
-
The next day, Johnny is back at the lab with Y/N. Although he didn't get what Y/N wanted because he didn't figure out what Y/N wanted.
"Hello Johnny." Y/N greets the Human torch.
"Hey Y/N, doing alright?" He asks.
"Yes, although I'm waiting patiently for the feces sample." Y/N smiles excitedly.
"Well, about that..." He scratches the back of his head, a tick he has. "I didn't get it."
"Oh." Y/N responds disappointed. "Well, it though happens something."
"But I can still help you." Johnny reassures Y/N. "Is there something else you want?"
"Well, you can always give me other samples." Y/N says.
"I can do that! Just say what you want." Johnny smiles charmly at Y/N.
"How about we start with a body scan?" Y/N asks.
Johnny grins naughty. "You can look at my body all you want."
"Thank you! Let's get you to the scanner." Y/N smiles excitedly.
Y/N walks in front when both boys walk towards the scanner. Johnny stands in the tube-like scanner while Y/N is standing at the screen. "Perhaps I should take my clothes off." Johnny smirks at Y/N.
"No, that won't be necessary." Y/N merely responds, not getting Johnny is flirting with him.
Johnny looks disappointed. "Dammit." He mutters.
Y/N starts up the scanner, which analyze the body of Johnny, who merely waits till he can flirt with Y/N again. The scan takes around 5 minutes, since Y/N wants to be sure he didn't miss anything, then cost of Johnny's patients. "How very interesting! I can definitely say your anatomy is different than regular individual. The cosmic rays-" Johnny didn't really follow Y/N is saying. Yes, he found it cute how the assistant is passionately talking about his job, but that don't mean he understand what the hell he's talking about. Y/N entire explanation took around a minute till he's about to stop. "Though uncle Reed is different. I guess it would be the same case for Ms. Storm and Mr. Grimm. I should ask them for assistance. What do you think Johnny?"
Johnny stops being halve asleep and wakes up. "Huh?! Yeah, I agree with you!"
"Splendid." Y/N smiles. "How about we continue our research?"
"Sure." Johnny really wishes he was talking to Y/N OUTSIDE the lab. He releases if they stay here, the only thing they will be talking about Y/N's research. The blonde start thinking about where to go next after he helps Y/N.
"I believe I need more samples." Y/N says. "I need something accurate. I didn't get the feces, but we can get something else."
"Anything you want." Johnny smiles.
"If you don't mind, we can take a rectal swab." Y/N says with difficulty, not wanting to make his friend uncomfortable. "I know I'm asking a lot of you-"
"Don't worry, I can take it!" Johnny says proudly. He has no idea what the hell a rectal swap means, but is willing to do it for Y/N. "Just say what I have to do."
"Thank you! Turn around, bend over and remove your pants." Y/N says.
Johnny blushes. "Y-you want m-me to... remove my pants?" He says somewhat surprise by Y/N orders, interpreting the whole situation wrong.
"Is that a problem?" Y/N asks.
"No, not at all!" Johnny smiles. He turns around and do what Y/N asks for him. He didn't expected Y/N to be so dominate, but he thinks it is a fun surprise. "Alright, I'm ready!" He smiles happily.
From Johnny's back, Y/N is picking up a tube and a swab after putting on his gloves. He puts the tube on the table open. He has now a swab in his hand. "It may feel weird for a second." Y/N warns Johnny.
"Don't worry, I can take it. I do this A LOT." Johnny says with a cocky smile.
Meanwhile outside the lab, Reed, who is holding a bouquet and Susan, who looks angry at Reed are sitting on the couches. "Sorry Susan, but how was I supposed to know it was your birthday?" Susan glares more at Reed and turns invisible, leaving Reed alone. Reed let out a sigh. "I should start making notes on people's birthdays... and dates... and things relating to my family and my colleagues."
"Reed, did you know where Johnny is!?" Reed turns around to Ben pissed, who is covered with green goo.
"No, I haven't." Reed responds. Afterwards, there is a loud, screeching yell coming out of the lab, which came from Johnny. "But I heard from him." Reed adds.
The doors open, Johnny came out of the lab, buckling up his pants. He looks traumatized. "No! No! No! NO!"
"Johnny, where are you going!?" Y/N runs behind him. "We're almost done!"
Johnny stops when he sees Reed and Ben. Ben looks entertained at the frighted Johnny. "Looks like I don't have to anything."
"Johnny!" Johnny turns around to face Y/N. "Why did you run away? I thought you agreed upon this?"
"I never agreed with putting that upon my ass!" Johnny yells.
"What!?" Reed glares at Johnny. "Johnny, what did you do?"
"He puts an entire cotton stick upon my ass!" Johnny yells at Reed.
"You agreed with the rectal swab though." Y/N points out. He's somewhat sad Johnny is suddenly acting like this.
Ben begins snorts, which turns into a loud laughter. "This is the best that ever happened to you!"
Reed ignores Ben laughter. "Y/N, this is about your research, isn't?"
"Yes uncle, I didn't want to ask you, but Johnny agreed upon it." Y/N answers his uncle question. "Originally he had to give his feces, but-"
Ben laughs even louder, which interrupts Y/N. Johnny looks annoyed at Ben. "Is my suffering funny to you?"
"Yes, yes, it is." Ben answers happily.
"Johnny, do you even know what feces mean?" Reed asks Johnny.
"Uhh..." Johnny didn't answer, but this was enough for Reed.
"Never mind, you don't have to answer." Reed comments. "Y/N, Johnny is bluffing he knows what you're talking about."
Y/N look surprise. "I'm sorry?"
Johnny turns around to see Y/N, giving him a nervous smirk. "About that..."
"Johnny is stupid, kid." Ben interrupts Y/N. "He just wanted to sleep with you."
Johnny glares back at Ben, who is smiling happy. "He what!?" Y/N is surprise once again.
"That's not true!" Johnny turns back at Y/N. "I... I just wanted to help you! That's it!"
"And afterwards he wants to go on a date with you." Reed adds, tired of Johnny's behavior. Y/N eyes went wide. Johnny turns around to glare at Reed. "That's what he did with my last few assistants and break up with them when it's inconvenient for him."
"T-that's not true!" Johnny turns back at Y/N, who just looks sad. Y/N, however, turns back and runs away, not wanting to hear Johnny's excuses. "Y/N!" Johnny sighs and turn around. He's beginning to get mad at Reed and Ben. "Thanks a lot. Now you ruined my chances."
"Johnny, you wanted to manipulate my nephew to do... whatever you want to do!" Reed looks mad at Johnny. "And you are somehow mad at me!?"
Johnny just turns around and went his own way. Reed and Ben see him walking away. Ben is still smiling. "I feel bad for the kid, but this is the best what ever happened." Reed glares at Ben. Ben stops smiling. "What? I said I feel sorry for Y/N."
-
Johnny is entering the lab with flowers in his hand. He walks up to Y/N, who was minding his own business. The assistant notices The Human Torch and looks away. "Y/N." He sprints towards Y/N, who doesn't look amuse. "Y/N. I owe you an apology."
This interested Y/N. He turns around and look at Johnny, who look regretful what he done. "Go on."
"I'm sorry I pretended I knew I what you were talking about. I just wanted to impress you. I thought if I didn't you thought I'm stupid." Johnny admits.
"You're stupid." Y/N says, which surprise Johnny, not expecting the boy so harsh. "Not because you aren't a scientist or something like that, but because you lied to me."
"I agree! I'm a moron, and I'm so sorry." Johnny apologizes again. "I got you these!" Johnny smirks nervously. He gives the flowers to Y/N. Y/N unsurely grabs the flowers. "I make it up to you. How about we go out and do something fun?" Johnny let out a nervous chuckle.
"Why? Because you can increase your counter of how many assistants from my uncle you dated." Y/N says with snide.
"About that... I... have a thing for smart people." Johnny embarrassingly admits, saying quieter.
Y/N doesn't look convince. "Really?"
"Yeah, I just find it cute when people all nerd out." Johnny avoids Y/N look. "Please don't tell anyone about this. If Reed or Ben find out there will be no end of their pestering."
Y/N smiles. "Fine, I forgive you."
Johnny looks back at Y/N with shock. "You do!?"
"Yes, but we start out as friends. We see where that goes." Y/N says.
"Fine by me! We can be friends that go to bowling alleys, restaurants and watch the stars." Johnny smirks.
"As friends." Y/N says sternly.
Johnny sighs. "Fine, as friends."
