Johnny lives ok. He does. He has a scar. His hair got shaved some for the surgery, but it's back to normal. The scar, however, is visible as hair doesn't grow there.
As time goes on, Johnny notices how much Simon tends to fixate on the scar right? so he starts to let his hair grow out. Now its not uncommon for his sides to get a lil unkempt sometimes especially if theyre busy, but then Ghost starts to notice its more than usual
Ghost: What are you doing? Johnny: I'm finishing up some reports- Ghost: No. With your hair. Johnny: I… (licks his lips, glances away for a moment) I just felt like ah change. Ghost: (steps closer, arms crossed, eyebrows furrowed) (he grabs the longer part of Johnny's hair and tilts his head to the side) Johnny: (definitely surpresses a slight groan) What? Thought you'd like me losing my stupid mohawk- Ghost: No. (silence for a moment while Ghost just continues to semi glare at Johnny, who keeps trying to look away but keeps glancing back) Johnny: … ya know the scar's kinda ugly- Ghost: Do you think it's ugly? Johnny: -and it- … I… (shoulders slump a bit) Not necessarily Ghost: Since when do you care about what other people think? Johnny: (slightly quieter) When it's you. Ghost: (lets go of Johnny's hair, takes a tiny step back) … And why do you think I think it's ugly? Johnny: C'mon, don't lie tah me. I've seen the way you stare at eht. Ghost: Johnny, that scar means you're alive. Johnny: (slight wide eye staring) Ghost: Whether you hide it or not, those memories aren't leaving me anytime soon. Sometimes looking at the scar is the only thing that helps remind me you lived and that I'm not seeing a shadow of you. Johnny: … oh. Ghost: (steps forward again, I picture Johnny was sitting and Ghost like, burst into his room at the start of this. So Ghost leans down and gently rests his forehead on the top of Johnny's head) Johnny: (reaches up and rests his hand on the back of Ghost's neck) Ghost: Shave your damn head. Johnny: Sure thing LT.
