AND johnny and jackie for vincent (^:<

oc get-along asks!

🦾 - johnny silverhand

now this is where things get interesting because these two have felt nearly every emotion on the spectrum of human AND shrimp emotions about each other

at first, vincent is mostly just scared of johnny. the man is in his head but also trying to kill him and then suddenly he's no longer trying to do that, all in the span of a few days and vincent was NOT built for any of that shit. he's just a little guy. look at him he's got crippling anxiety now

johnny just thinks vincent is pathetic and is very vocally disappointed about the fact he's stuck with him out of all people in night city, which isn't doing vincent's self esteem much good

vincent's initial fear of johnny soon turns into annoyance and from that moment on the two of them are constantly biting each other's dick off and bickering about everything they can bicker about. they often don't see eye to eye on methods and johnny is still begging to get control of vincent's body, which vincent still refuses to do

an added layer to all of this is that vincent is trans and. well. johnny is not. and it makes vincent VERY scared all the time because johnny knows things about him that he can hold against him and he also REALLY doesn't want to find out what johnny would do were he in control of vincent's body. so that's obviously never going to happen

however, it has to be said that not at any point does johnny even consider holding anything against vincent and he's actually. well. as respectful as he can be idk LMAO we all know how he is but he's not THAT kind of cunt if you know what i mean. he's even forced to help vincent a couple of times during the storyline when vincent is having a breakdown in the corner of a room at a random place and there's no one else to help him through it. johnny could very easily just not help him. but he does. inch resting

later on things start to get a little complicated because they're both just very tired which ends up in them being nice to each other and they never really meant for that to happen and mainly vincent doesn't really know what to do with any of that. he wouldn't call johnny his friend but has also started to get used to him being there and it's strangely comforting to him for some reason

later, when johnny is no longer there, vincent finds himself looking for the man. he HATES silence nowadays because it makes him feel very scared and alone and even though he would never admit it he misses johnny's presence. in fact, he misses him so much he ends up sort of imagining johnny's voice in his head; you've already seen this in some chapters actually :]

at first it's actual remnants of johnny's psyche, in the arasaka arc (which i haven't really written about except for the vitali straight up dies fic)- but after that, when the remnants of soulkiller are taken care of, it's just vincent's imagination. or his intuition. the voice in his head has adopted johnny's voice. who knows! either way, johnny is most definitely no longer there but his voice remains and it's comforting to vincent. it helps him stay focused in combat and it makes him feel less alone

i still wouldn't really label them as friends, even with the whole "downloading johnny to vincent's phone and later getting him a body" thing that i've been spinning around as possible continuation of canon. it's more a kind of weird "old friends to strangers" situation? i don't know how to explain it but there's a very distinct distance between them because of just how they are as people but at the same time they know each other so intimately because they've literally been inside each other's thoughts. if anything johnny is more of an absent father figure to vincent than a friend LMFAO but they make it work. somewhat

vincent and jackie were BESTIES. they didn't have a lot of time together which is still something vincent feels very sad about but the time they DID have were some of the best months of vincent's entire life and he misses him so so much :(

they first met on the same gig and had to fight and run away from the ncpd together which was an instant bonding moment for them. they worked surprisingly well together and jackie was VERY interested in vincent because he sure as hell doesn't really look like a merc. but he clearly is. so. he wanted to start working together and they did! and very quickly became very good friends along the way

vincent admired jackie for his bravery and how he was unapologetically himself at all times. he felt safe with him and working together on gigs was both fun AND they were a great team together, especially when t-bug also joined them

jackie LOVED vincent. tiny funny pocket friend :] vincent often reminded him of a younger vitali but he never said this to him, but it's what caused them to be so close in such a short period of time because to jackie it felt like they had already known each other for many years

one thing i want to add to all this is that vincent never got to tell jackie his real name before jackie passed away. he still feels very bad about that :( but he does end up finding a little notebook in jackie's belongings with a list of names starting with v and the name "vincent" IS in fact on the list. underlined. and that makes him very happy :]
