New Faces on Campus

The crisp autumn air carried the scent of freshly cut grass and the hum of excitement as Peter Parker stepped onto the college campus. He had just transferred here, eager to start a new chapter in his life, one that didn't involve the constant threat of supervillains or the weight of being Spider-Man. As he made his way through the bustling quad, Peter couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions: nervousness about making new friends, excitement about learning new things, and a hint of uncertainty about balancing his superhero life with college. As he walked, Peter noticed a group of students gathered near the student union, laughing and chatting. One of them caught his eye - a tall, charismatic guy with a confident smile and a mop of messy blond hair. Peter couldn't help but stare, and the guy caught his gaze, flashing him a friendly smile. "Hey, you must be new here," the guy said, extending a hand. "I'm Johnny Storm. What's your name?" Peter shook his hand, feeling a little awestruck. "I'm Peter Parker. Nice to meet you." Johnny's eyes sparkled with interest. "Parker, huh? I've never met a Parker before. What brings you to our neck of the woods?" As they chatted, Peter found himself opening up to Johnny in ways he never thought possible. Johnny was easy to talk to, with a quick wit and a infectious laugh. Before parting ways, they exchanged numbers, and Johnny invited Peter to grab coffee with him the next day. The next morning, Peter found himself looking forward to his coffee date with Johnny more than he had anticipated. As he walked to the coffee shop, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. What would it be like to hang out with someone like Johnny Storm, who seemed to light up the room with his presence? When Peter arrived at the coffee shop, Johnny was already there, sipping on a latte. "Hey, Parker! Good to see you again," he said, clapping Peter on the back. As they sipped their coffee, Peter learned more about Johnny's life as a college student and his experiences as the Human Torch. Peter was fascinated by Johnny's stories and found himself feeling drawn to his charismatic personality. As they chatted, Peter couldn't help but notice the way Johnny's eyes sparkled when he laughed or the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck. Peter felt a flutter in his chest, and his protective instincts kicked in. He didn't know what it was about Johnny, but he felt an overwhelming urge to keep him safe. For now, though, Peter pushed those feelings aside, focusing on getting to know Johnny better. As they parted ways, Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about their budding friendship. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of a wild and wonderful ride.
