Ahhh I had a dream about Johnny last night?? And it was sad but also like... Cathartic?
So pretty much it was post game, but just V finishing up in the shower. She gets sick, stumbling out and grabbing a towel to just lay against her wall and try and fight the urge to throw up more blood. Johnny phases in next to her, leaning against the door. His face looks sullen but he tries to put a smile on it. There's very few words shared but he can tell she's getting close to the end. The radio in the bathroom start playing a song called Stardust. I only remember a few of the lyrics, something about "Even if we can't be one right now, our dusts gonna mingle together among the stars." Johnny mentions this was probably some old track he forgot he wrote back when he was less angry at the world. Kerry must have kept the lyrics and used em himself. V just lays on the bathroom floor, deliriously staring at the ceiling in-between Johnny's legs. He holds her hand as best his facsimile can. Trying to remember his own lyrics. "Baby we'll go super nova, make a nebula that's ours."
V weakly smiles, reaching up to touch his face. "Johnny... Can you promise me one thing?"
"I'm no good at promises but I can try..." He leans into her touch, knowing he can't really feel it. Both of their minds are making this up.
"You'll put a bullet in our head when I'm too far gone... I don't wanna be alone."
Johnny's heart wants to shatter. If he was capable of tears he'd probably shed a few. He doesn't really give her a solid answer and just. Hums along to the rest of the song while V tries to get over the sick she's feeling.
"Baby we're gonna end the way we start. As the Stardust that fed into our hearts."
