V laid there in his bed replaying the death of Jackie, the crying from Misty as he tried to comfort her, at the same time his own emotions were a mess. Ever since that day V made it a daily thing to check up of her. Even with all the problems he had, that being Johnny slowly eating away at his life. He had to make sure she was alright. "Are we visiting Misty again? We should probably tell her what we're about to do." V sighed at the idea as he didn't want to worry her.
"So me and Johnny are thinking about going into the building, see if we can make it to the top." Misty sat there quietly as she look at him. "No V, you're not doing any of that. I'm not letting you." V felt her hand go on his as she stared at his eyes, they both became silent. "Hey V, got those cybernetic parts you ordered." Vik slowly entering giving them both a look, V gently pulled away from her as she gave a questioning look at him. One he didn't want to admit that she's beginning to have an effect on him.
It wasn't easy to hide that they're constantly around each other. "Let's install them now Vik, I'm going to need those upgrades." V returning his hand back on Misty own hand, he look her in the eye. "I won't do anything drastic without letting you know first." She watch him go with her father. "I know you will V." He waved bye to her as she watch the door closed, she wondered something as she grabbed her tarot cards. Anhour later V return with his new cybernetic implants. "Misty, these part's are preme. The eddies spent to get them definitely worth it." He got close to her, enough to notice something wasn't right as he look at her putting away her tarot cards.
She seem to be lost in thought, "That's great V." walking away from him. He didn't know why but he felt hurt by this. "What's wrong? If anything is bothering you, you can tell me." Walking behind her store front desk, what kept them apart she put her hand up. "It's nothing that you need to worry about." He wasn't going to let it go as it bother him to see her troubled. "I'm not walking out the door until I know you're okay Misty." She whispered something and he didn't understand his own emotion no longer.
"You don't want me leaving?" She turn to give a stare he felt he done something wrong. "V, who did you meet today." V focus as he remember the day, he did a lot in the twenty four hour's as he recalled everything than finally got to what Misty reaction shown the most. "I went to help out this women name Panam with some issues she got. Got her back into the Aldecaldos." Misty cross arm's when she thought about something, she listen to V talk about what they done together. "Panam is choom of mine, nothing more, even though I get she doesn't want that." He remember at how many times he had to diffuse those moments with her. He watch as Misty smile return back to her…he held himself from that thought.
'No, V. Don't say it or think it.' He got up seeing how late it became, the clock was getting closer to midnight. "I got to go Misty," Picking up the jacket he took off. "Have to wake up early tomorrow." She realize that V couldn't be with anybody else this whole time because one reason. "V, stay here for the night. I'll sleep better knowing you're here." He gave her a nod as it wasn't the first time. "Sure Misty." Ever since the day Jackie died he never left her side. She at first remembered having mistrust in his intentions as V kept showing up she knew it wasn't anything more.
Sincere and genuine. She saw him open a door, watching him search for a rolled up futon she kept for him. He went directly to her room, laying the futon down near her bed, as he got himself comfortable, removing as much clothing as possible. Johnny deciding it's a good time to appear next to him, staring at him. "You know V, maybe we should find another way, right now take advantage of what time you got." V sat there thinking, having Johnny himself backing down from them going out in a blaze of glory, one meant to be certain death.
"I guess I should be appreciating what time I actually got. Still I'm in to deep now Johnny. I can't stop until I make it to the major league's." He forgot how much of a bad habit it became talking to himself, hearing the door open to Misty who he can tell she heard him speaking to Johnny. "I close up the store for day. Not many customers as usual." He didn't prop himself up, as she yawned loudly. "I'm sure the eddies with start pouring in Misty, give it time." She gave him a nod, he watch her go inside her bathroom. V wanted to fall asleep before she got out, he almost succeeded. The door to the bathroom revealed Misty in a black t-shirt and matching panties.
"Good night V." V couldn't help himself, regretting opening his eyes to catch a good view of Misty pale body, it gave him a rush. He knew to fight it and look away, he always will respect his choom even in death. 'I'm sorry Jackie, I have to stay focus, I shouldn't look at Misty that way.' When she turn of the light, his mind race at any sound, his mind perversion making lewd than it could be in reality. A noise seem to be happening on her bed, trying to fall asleep, ignoring the sound traveling into his ears. "V, are you awake?" V knew them hanging out was becoming an issue, he knew he'll have to make it a while before he visit her again.
