[ Johnny sobers. He understands what he means. A part of him wonders if Jack would be just as sad if he hadn't returned, and he feels guilty for not wanting to be here -- then irritated at himself for it.
He shakes it off. Jack's here and safe, and that's what matters. He'll deal with everything else later. His special someone is here, he has to focus on that. ]
Would giving him ciggies help? I mean, it's not like he can get cancer.
[He smiles at Johnny, quietly but so extremely grateful to see him. He feels guilty for that too, knowing how happy Johnny was to be home, to see his family again.]
I don't think anything but time will help, if that. But I think being around friends is a good idea, if that's alright with you.
[ Johnny says agreeably. It isn't even an option for him either, now that his heart is set on Sir Sourpuss. ]
Let's see if we can't cheer him up. It must really suck for him to know the person he loves is gone. I can't begin to imagine. [ And he doesn't want to. He's trotting at a brisk pace, looking away only to check the map. ] Where were you the past few days, anyway?
Ah. A world with even more zombies. [He smirks at him, eyes dark and glimmering.] It made me miss normal humans in mouse and dog costumes - if that can be considered normal.
[Jack is surprised, clearly pleased despite the bittersweetness of being in Johnny's world, or how silly he thought the picture at the time. He smiles softly.]
[ Johnny laughs, warmth blossoming in his chest at Jack's words. His words are always more caustic than what's in his heart, and Johnny appreciates it with every fiber of his being. ]
And are you gonna be there with kisses to soothe my bruised ego?

Just hurry and find me so I can kiss you again.
video;
Will there be cuddling?
video;
[Which could be considered cuddling. Very aggressive cuddling.]
video;
I'm hoping Simon doesn't have super hearing. The things I'm going to do to you... I'll make sure you can't walk straight for a week.
video;
I'm sure we can find something to keep him occupied.
video;
He's not, uh, hungry, right?
video;
[Simon might not say it, but he can tell. He sees a hunger in his eyes that isn't entirely unfamiliar.]
They're more like drugs to him than food. Someone special to him didn't return.
[The last he says more softly, looking at Johnny so that he understands what he means by "someone special".]

Are you asking me if he's allowed to be around us?
video;
video;
[ Johnny smirks at him. ] Usually I just hook up with a few hot chicks. Sometimes at once. So, his special person's a dude?
video;
It is. And hooking up isn't the solution here.

video;
We've been traveling away from the church, trying to figure out our old new world.
video;
No, I mean before you came here. I landed in a world with dinosaurs in it. It was cool.
video;
video;
[ Because zombies. But it turns out Jack is unhurt and his usual self, and he melts into a grin. ] I still have it with me, that photo we took.
[ That photo he spent a better part of an hour wrestling his lover into. ]
video;
[Jack is surprised, clearly pleased despite the bittersweetness of being in Johnny's world, or how silly he thought the picture at the time. He smiles softly.]
It'll hang in a place of honor.
video;
[ This time, it's Johnny's turn to be surprised. His brows are raised, and he pats his pocket. ] I thought you said it was embarrassing!
video;
[In Jack-speak, it's a fond memory.]
video;
And are you gonna be there with kisses to soothe my bruised ego?
video;
No. Because if I waited for your ego to be truly bruised, we'd probably never get to kiss again.
