"You seem to like the attention," Dorothy dryly commented as she leaned against the doorframe of Johnny's room.
He looked up at her from his seated position on the bed. "Dorothy."
"Yeah, that's my name, and please, do wear it out."
"Dorothy, that was nothing," he defended.
"Maybe, but it doesn't exactly prove that you want to be in a relationship with me again. It doesn't exactly feel nice to see the man you like surrounded by women."
He slid off the bed and walked over to her. "D, what do you want me to do?"
"Prove that you want to be with me. I know you're afraid to be alone, but it doesn't mean you get to play with me like that when you know I like you," she explained.
"I don't know how," he muttered. "You think I've been in a healthy relationship before? I don't know when me is me. I've gone so long with just banging girls after using pickup lines. That's how I met you! I don't know head from tails."
"You think I do? I just need to know if I'm wasting time here - if what we had in the past is all that is - the past. You can't just pick me because I'm the only woman who understands what you're going through right now."
"It's not that," he weakly muttered. "You make me feel alive, and the thought of having these awesome powers and you by my side makes me feel amazing. I want to be happy, and I think you can make that happen. You even met my family for God's sake! My parents liked you."
She offered him a smile, her previous hostility fading away. "Johnny, your parents were good, amazing people."
"Yeah, I know. My dad tried to save as many lives as he could, but even with his Ph.D., he couldn't save Mom. It really drove him off the edge."
Dorothy walked forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, pushing his head onto her shoulder. "I know, Johnny, but you don't have to talk about it. There's no reason to. I know you love them, and that's enough."
He nuzzled his head between the crook of her neck and her shoulder. "Thanks."
