    He drops the smoke to the asphalt and crushes it under his boot before he looks back up at her and responds coolly, “You say you know him. Know me. But I got tells, V. You just aren’t fuckin’ reading ‘em at all.”

    V’s gaze bores into him like she is trying to solve a riddle.

    Summary

    She’s got a poster of him that used to hang above her bed; now it’s rolled up and tucked underneath, hidden from view, but sometimes she listens to his music and thinks about it sitting under there and her hands drift a little lower down her stomach, and—

    Johnny’s hands gripped her waist a little tighter, dimpling her flesh with need, and he rasped, “Fuck, you’re beautiful.”

    Her mind stalled. He wasn’t even inside her yet and he was doling out compliments—that part usually came later when she was whimpering into the mattress.

    Summary

    A near hidden door in Kabuki Market could never be truly hidden from Johnny Silverhand. He takes V into this echo from his past and in this strange sanctuary he reflects on their duality - the good, the bad, and the hopelessly hopeful maybes.

    [...] he does his best to reach out and find her knee. Touch eludes him, as it so often does.

    “Hmm,” she sinks lower into the couch.

    He wants so badly to comfort her.

    Fuck, I wasn’t even good at this when I had a body.

    Hanako is waiting. They can’t do this forever.

    He knows everything about her.

    V cracks it. The monitor on the back wall of the space is bigger than they realized. Profile after profile of Night Citizens pre 2023 launch across the screen.

    “Ya cracked it, kid,” he says, joyful at what he assumed would be her satisfaction.

    But when she gives a shrug, her yeah is sad.

    “Whoever did this… don’t think they’ve been back since your time, Johnny. Can’t be good. And I can’t find why they did this. What was this intel for? Are any of these people ok?”

    He didn’t know a goddamn thing about her.
