Jonathan Sims vs Maintaining Relationships

Summary:

(Spoiler: He loses)


J.Sims: Jordan, don’t do this to me.

Bob-omb: suffer.

Notes:

Hey! This is a silly prequel to my WIP TMA chat fic. It's yet another Jon was in the Mechs AU. I'm still learning Mechs' lore and characterization, so this might be a bit OOC.

Some background for this specific fic.
- The Mechs are currently on Indefinite Hiatus due to Jon and Basira (Ashes) disappearing. DTTM has not happened yet. (They're also significantly more popular than IRL. Popular enough to have a decently large fanbase.)
- Jon and Georgie broke up in 2009. They are best friends now, but only after a year apart.
- Jon has been gone for roughly 3 years. It was not on purpose. He just fell out of touch with them.
- Nikola is still a stranger avatar, but her backstory differs from canon. She and Grimaldi aren't the same.
- They all went to Uni together. The rest of the Mechs have stayed in touch since.
- Implied Polymechs? It's not super present here outside of Jon and Brian, but it will be in the main fic.
- Jon is a bit more closed off and professional than he usually would be because he doesn't know where he stands with them yet.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: ...

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Would you believe me if I said I was busy?

 

Quicksilver: IT’S BEEN 3 YEARS JONATHAN.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Yes. I suppose it has.

 

Quicksilver: What happened to keeping in touch?

 

E. Gadd: cmon Nas. you know Jonny is shit at talking to people.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Hey.

 

E. Gadd: am I wrong?

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I got a new number anyway. Updating my contacts must’ve...slipped my mind.

 

Quicksilver: For three years, though? Don’t be stupid.

 

Brains: Jonny’s back?

 

Von Raum: tim where’d you even find him?

 

Bob-omb: ran into him on the job.

Bob-omb: turns out jonny’s been working at the mag.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: You mean Elias? You know him?

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Ah. Well, then.

 

Quicksilver: Wait. Back up. Jon’s been working at The Magnus Institute this entire time? The one with all the ghost stories?

 

Bob-omb: the very same.

Bob-omb: came in for work. something about termites? it ended up being nothing serious. just a couple ants. i think it was lunch because the place was mostly empty.

Bob-omb: anyway the lady at the front desk redirected me to the research building. i walk in and guess who i fucking see. jonny goddamn d’ville. at his desk. in a fucking sweater vest.

 

Von Raum: no fucking way

 

E. Gadd: LMAO?

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: What’s wrong with my sweater vest?

 

Bob-omb: what isn’t?

 

Toy!: I Think Sweater Vests Suit Him!

 

Brass Goggles: Agreed.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: BRIAN.

 

Brass Goggles: Hi Jonny :]

 

Brains: EW get a room.

 

Brass Goggles: Piss off.

 

Von Raum: Ivy homophobic?

 

Brains: For these two? Absolutely.

 

Brass Goggles: Ignoring them.

Brass Goggles: @Jon So you’ve been working at the Mag these past few years then?

Brass Goggles: No wonder we couldn’t track you down.

 

E. Gadd: Yeah, thought you didn’t believe in the supernatural Jonny.

 

J onny Fucking D'Ville: Yes, well. You take what you can get.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I started working there right after I stopped talking to you all. Things were...rough after my breakup with Georgie, as you very well know. Though we’ve since become friends again. A lot happened between then and you know how I am about stress. I found my footing eventually but it took all my energy. Keeping up with friendships made difficult and once I switched numbers I stopped putting in the effort. I couldn’t even if I wanted to.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I should have reached out, I know. I’m sorry.

 

Von Raum: gasp

 

Brains: Jonathan Sims apologizing? In the year of our lord 2013?

 

Bob-omb: have we finally died?

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I know how to apologize. I’m not that socially inept.

 

Von Raum: doubt

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Fuck off, Marius

 

Toy!: Are You Sick Jonny? I Can Make You Soup.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I’m not sick, Nik, but thank you.

 

Bob-omb: he just doesn’t want teeth in his soup.

 

Toy!: The Teeth Are For Enrichment!

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Three years and you still unsettle me greatly.

 

Quicksilver: Speaking of.

Quicksilver: I’m still mad at you.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: But…?

 

Quicksilver: I get it. Just don’t do that again.

Quicksilver: I missed you too much to stay angry, anyway.

 

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: I missed you, too.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: All of you.

Jonny Fucking D'Ville: Regrettably.

 

Bob-omb: aww jonny

Bob-omb: does this mean you’ll drop the posh speak?



Jonny Fucking D'Ville has changed Jonny Fucking D'Ville’s name to Captain D'Ville

 

Captain D'Ville: die.


Bob-omb has changed Captain D'Ville’ s name to First Mate D'Ville



Bob-omb: first mate!
