spideytorch prompt: johnny and peter start dating, but they don't tell the rest of the f4 peter's identity as spider-man because they disapprove of him.
Johnny decides that peter has to win them all over before the big reveal, so he plays the perfect boyfriend - brings flowers the first time he meets them, compliments ben's cooking, talks to sue and reed about their research.
Peter has a lot of practice pretending to be a normal guy, but johnny isn't used to hiding anything so big from his family so he's really tense and awkward the whole time. He and peter also aren't doing their usual playful banter because they're worried it will give them away.
All this together gives off the impressiom that johnny is totally miserable in the relationship and that he's only dating peter because he thinks sue will approve of him.
Sue's feeling guilty because she realized that johnny hasn't really been hanging out with spider-man recently and she thinks it's her fault. So she sits johnny down one day when she thinks he's alone and tells him that he doesn't have to force himself to go out with peter just because he thinks that's what sue wants. She says that if he really likes spider-man, then he should just go for it.
Johnny is speechless at this misunderstanding.
Peter had been in the other room and had overheard the whole thing. So, being the little shit that he is, he comes storming into the room and points accusingly at johnny. "You're going to leave me for SPIDER-MAN!?" he wails dramatically, tears welling up in his eyes.
Sue's eyes go wide and she freezes up, feeling shitty because she had never meant for peter to overhear their conversation or to make him feel bad.
Johnny immediately cracks up, laughing so hard his stomach hurts, and peter keeps a straight face for only a few more seconds before he also starts laughing.
Sue is just sitting there, staring at them in confusion.
Then, Peter gets his laughter under control just long enough to wink mischievously at her and pull aside the neckline of his sweater to reveal the familiar red and blue costume underneath
