in the thing i wrote yesterday, kerry, v and johnny hang out for a day. of course johnny has to be a little shit:

"you wanna pick the music?." the question directed at him pulled him out of his thoughts and caused him to appear next to v in a position similar to hers. she was in the middle of negotiating something with kerry. johnny almost declined her offer, after all there were more important things to do. but perhaps having a day off of merc work would do both of them good. besides he liked it when v spent time with kerry; they took care of each other in a way. he pulled a pack of cigarettes from a pocket and lit one. "yeah why not." and shrugged at v's surprise. a few moments later v was running towards the pool, all excitedly - like an 8 year old who just finished her homework and was now allowed to play. it was refreshing to see her like this and it even brought a smile to his face. he glanced over to kerry and saw him smiling too, getting back up after v had pushed him down to get an advantage in the race to the water. "you really didnt need to do that, you are faster than him anyway."

so johnny was allowed to pick the music, v liked to get him involved in the more mundane things in their life. it was still difficult for him to accept these gestures, after all he was killing her. but even if he refused she wouldnt let that slide so it was easier to just accept her love... ahem. affection. so he began to look around for a song. a particular song that he very much enjoyed. a song he knew kerry would love. a song that v knew by heart. "there you are." muttered to himself, a mischievous smirk on his face. and so he sent this and their whole discography to the stereo. fists fall by rotten it said on the display, not that anyone saw it. the song started with a whisper: "no more tears, stand up to your fears." he could feel v's heart drop. she turned around, still in a full sprint and for a moment their eyes met. the look in v's eyes was one of betrayal - but johnny knew she would be thankful in the end. however his grand plan had to go to shit one way or another: v tripped over her own feet and planted her face onto the pavement, followed by a disgusting and fleshy crack. the sound caused johnny to flinch, he did not expect for that to happen. everything went dark for a moment and when he opened his eyes he found himself in v's body, a worried ker cradling his head with both hands. "shit v, are ya alright?" kerry asked. "fuckin preem." johnny groaned, touching his nose - it was tender, definitely broken. "she's gonna be so pissed. ha!" he laughed and looked up at the sky, trying to stop the blood from dripping on her chest, she had already removed her top to jump into the water. "oh, johnny?" kerry asked, removing his hands from v's face. "yeah, the gonk passed out. i get to drag her to safety whenever that happens." johnny was wiping the blood away using his forearm. "she'll be back in a few moments, don't worry." he reassured him, johnny had planned to fuck around a bit but he didn't wanna ruin this day for them. "aight wait here im gonna-" kerry was about to get up but johnny grabbed his arm with his unoccupied hand. "thats not important right now. you gotta listen to this." he pointed at the stereo. of course the music had continued playing. of course neither of them had actually listened to it and kerry wasnt getting the hint. "what?" he asked, clearly annoyed but johnny insisted. the quality of the music was terrible, clearly not professionally made. the instrumentals were nasty but in a good way. definitely harder than anything samurai or kerry had ever produced - hardrock or perhaps even metal. the lead vocalist was a woman, a very pissed off one at that. kerry was too occupied with his injured friend(s) to clearly listen to the lyrics. every time he tried to say something johnny would tell him to shut up so he eventually gave up and just listened. after 3 minutes the first song was over and kerry picked up a towel that was lying on a nearby chair. "okay?" the gears in his brain were clearly turning. "you dont hear it?" johnny asked, finally allowing kerry to wipe away the blood. "the guitar? yeah the guy has potential but--" johnny whipped his head away from kerry. he was irritated now. "the vocals! sound like anyone you know?" he gave kerry a moment before gesturing at his temporary body. "hold up, no.. no way! what the fuck?!" kerry replied, getting up from his hunched position to walk around and listen to the other song that was playing now.
