OCtober Day 3: Relationship. I’ve never drawn anything like this so I'm surprised that it doesn’t look too shitty.
V can’t get sick anymore without everyone, including Johnny, freaking the fuck out. He wakes up with a fever and everyone is planning his funeral and all he wants is a Gatorade and cuddles.
Vincent and Johnny are so fun and complex to write, because Kerry is definitely the glue that keeps them together for the longest time. But then one day, it’s just them in bed, Vincent playing Zelda next to him while Johnny plays guitar… then suddenly Vincent feels a face press against his arm and Johnny is watching him play.
“Whatcha playin’?”
“Uhhhh The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the past?”
“So there’s more?”
“Well yeah-“
“Tell me about them.”
Because Johnny knows Vincent’s love language is info dumping.
The first time Vax and Johnny realize how bad the relic situation is getting is during a fight Vax has on the coast, where he’s nearly drowned and his fear kicks in and over takes the dude, drowning him instead in a panic, holding him under until long after he’s stopped fighting
Johnny is trying to calm him down and get him out of the water until he does one thing: he grabs V. Touches him, drags him back to the sand and holds him while he hyperventilates.
And that’s when it hits them both. Johnny is touching him. Johnny physically dragged him out of the water. They both sit in silence while Vax calms down and accepts his death long before it comes.
(I’m not going anywhere)
(Finally showing Vax and Johnny some love))
V stared out the window at the city, smoking whatever he had found in his pocket after Johnny’s little taking over incident. It was calming at least, and honestly what else did he have to lose? Sure, smoke the random thing in your pocket, V!
Johnny sat at the foot of the bed, also looking out of the window as well, looking at a city he didn’t recognize anymore. He may have told V it all looked the same to him, but in reality he didn’t know this city like he used too.
The engram looked over at the exhausted merc, finishing off the joint he had found in his pocket. He looked like he’d be happy to sleep forever if given the chance, but he deserved it. V had a rough life and deserved a good nights sleep.
“You gonna stare at the city all night or are you actually gonna get some rest. We got shit to do tomorrow.”
V lazily flipped him off, clearly not in the mood for all of that this late at night. Though, Johnny thought that was fair enough. He was dying, and trying to give Johnny the body. And that had been their argument of the week.
“Get some sleep, Vax… I ain’t going anywhere just yet okay?” Johnny frowned, watching the merc put out the smoke and look at him, then patted the space next to him.
Johnny snorted and materialized next to V, wondering how he could make this work. But Vax was ahead of him already. The merc turned and rested his head on his shoulder taking a deep breath, as if he could smell him.
“Play Rockerboy, play.” V teased.
“Oh is that all I am? A common Rockerboy? Asshole, I ain’t playin’ you shit.”
“Ooooooo the accent came out, he’s maaaad.” Okay, clearly Johnny was enticed over here to be made fun of, fuck this kid.
“Sleep V.”
“Okay okay… night J.”
