[ Amidst the impressive technological marvels and distractions present on the ship, Johnny found it impossible to resist the allure of commandeering the network for a brief moment. While he's no deckhead or with a fancy BD strapped to his head, Johnny at least knows how to work a camera. This is why everyone is getting a good view of the scowling rockerboy as he puffs smoke directly into the camera.

Yeah, he's smoking again already. Don't ask how he got his hands on another e-cigarette. It probably involved a five-finger discount and a lot of schmoozing. Despite being such a complete asshole, Johnny is at least charming.

He's a charming little parasite. ]

Okay, chucklefucks. [ He mutters before taking another drag on his cigarette. Smoke billows from his nose as he exhales, resembling an angry demon/oni graphic on his tank top. ] Let's have a little talk.

Where the fuck are all of you from? Half of y'all look like your average Joe, while others look like wannabe supermodels who just walked off a Jinguji photoshoot.

[ Johnny lets out a chuckle as he brushes some ash off his cigarette. ]

So, who wants to go first? State your name and where the hell you're from.

[ It was the cheating, Johnny, is what Vincent wants to say to that, but why kick a man while he's down? Besides, he's quite sure Johnny already knows that — Vincent was certainly thinking it during their trips down memory lane, which is as good as saying it when you share a body, mind and soul.

I love you. Knew it wouldn't be some grand reveal, uttered while holding a wedding ring, on one knee or during a televised concern, confessing to millions, recorded for eternity. No, this is the way it was always going to be — private, one-to-one.

This is better. No trappings of fame, or drama. Just honest, naked truth, the kind that Johnny struggles with. It's a gift.

In stark contrast, Vincent wishes he wasn’t such an open book. Crying at the drop of a hat in comparison. ] D-don't... [ Sniffs, then continues. ] ... don't think that can be us. You've... you've changed. For the better. [ Isn't such a selfish fuck anymore. The fact Johnny is here, confessing this, is huge. The Johnny Silverhand of the past would've dismissed this as nothing but melodrama, Vincent would've been nothing more but yet another conquest in a long list, and things would've ended the way they did with Alt — either one of them dead or in their case, given their skill sets, both. ]

[It was cheating and Johnny mentally kicks himself for how badly he treated Rogue. There was a lot of ego wrapped up with that bullshit, especially since he was so certain that Rogue was fucking around with Santiago around that time. All reasons aside, it was a bullshit thing for Johnny to do. One that nearly severed his connection with Rogue forever. It’s with this in mind why Johnny is so cautious now. However, he really doesn’t seem to have to worry about that anymore.

He’s a new man; it just took getting his psyche scrambled with some gonk merc to do it. Mentioning gonks, Johnny can’t help but sigh once Vince starts with the waterworks. He used to hate it whenever V cried, always calling him “soft” or berating him, but over time, Johnny learned to accept it. V’s a crybaby but he’s his crybaby.]

C’mon, why do you have to spoil the mood? [Johnny mumbles while leaning forward to wipe away Vince’s tears. He gently cups Vinny’s cheeks in both hands and carefully wipes away the tears with his thumbs. While his prosthetic hand might feel a little cold, it’s no less gentle.]

Why are you cryin’ over me, babe? I bet you already knew I was gonna say it.

[He whispers before going in for a gentle kiss. It’s nothing raunchy or depraved, just a soft little peck on the lips. It’s shockingly sweet, especially since Johnny doesn’t normally do sweet.]

I love you. [A smile curls onto his lips briefly as he leans in for another kiss. While he hopes Vince wouldn’t notice, those dark sunglasses are looking a little wet.] Yeah, I do.

I couldn’t deny it even if I tried.
