Photo Hut, Wednesday, 9/19

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny felt like mega crap. He sauntered into the Hut and parked his butt in a chair behind the counter. It's where he was staying all day.

Luckily he missed the radio due to being passed out on his bed or he would have wondered about Jeff calling him a harlot. A harlot? Yeah... okay, maybe. Wait. No. That was before his girlfriend. 

He closed his eyes and leaned his head into his hand. Maybe he'd set himself on fire... he just couldn't summon the energy yet.

The Photo Hut is open.

Ronan? Was so very, very certain this was a bad idea. On the other hand, even though he hesitated at the door to the Photo Hut, he didn't seem to be able to stop himself.

So, there he was, going into the Photo Hut. "Johnny?"

He dropped his hand and looked over. "Hey, Ronan. Don't mind if I don't get up just yet, but you need something - I'll get it for you."

"No, it's okay," Ronan said. "I, ah, came by to see you. I remembered you saying last night that you were working today, and I thought you might appreciate a little... hangover remedy."

"Seriously?" Johnny asked, still not moving from his seat. "God, yes..."

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan laughed a little, just softly, as he stepped forward. "Here, give me a second," he said, as he laid the spell out in his mind. One hand went to Johnny's forehead, and it was the work of mere moments to speak through the spell and adjust Johnny's body. "Here," he said, after those moments, as he pulled away. He reached into his bag and pulled out a bottle of water. "Drink that. Like, all of it. You need to replenish the water in your system. But you should already be feeling better."

Johnny closed his eyes even before Ronan laid his hand on his brow, and his head tipped back just slightly, allowing the healing to work through the spell. When he opened his eyes, he nodded once, slowly. "I do," he said and accepted the water, drinking all of it as Ronan suggested.

Sighing deeply, he rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks... thanks for coming in here. And Ronan... last night... if I said anything or did anything, untoward in any fashion, I'm sorry."

[not_in_the_book]

"What?" Ronan asked. "Oh, no, nothing. If anything, I probably came closer than you did..." He shrugged. "Anyway. I'm glad you're feeling better. I... rather thought you might need that."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny arched a brow. "What do you mean, came closer than I did?" He stood up, meeting Ronan eye to eye.

[not_in_the_book]

"... Nothing. I just meant that you really didn't do anything to worry about."

Ronan was suddenly very, very glad that he wasn't speaking in the Speech; getting through this conversation without lying was probably about to become very, very difficult.

Relief flickered briefly in Johnny's gaze before he smiled warmly at Ronan. "If you say so, I'll trust you. I don't know about last night," he said, shaking his head. "Sort of got the better of me, didn't it?"

Savannah... had heard the radio, and was a bit confused about Johnny's new nickname.

However, she was here bearing coffee... as was her usual routine.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was confused to but he got up and smiled at Savannah when she walked in. He was feeling much better thanks to Ronan. "Hey you."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Hey sweetheart," she said with a small smile. "I brought you your caffeine... thought you might need it even more today."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He didn't hear the radio but he could kind of guess. "Thanks, sweetheart. Had a bit of a rough night."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "I gathered." She touched his face gently. "You didn't even wake up when I left this morning." She tiloted her head a bit. "Jeff gave you a new nickname on the radio when he talked about you and then you at Caritas." She shook her head. "I don't know where he got it, though."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny leaned forward and kissed her mouth softly. Then he cocked his head. "A nickname? Like what kind of nickname?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She kissed him back, running her fingers through his hair. "You won't like it," she warned. "I may have to hurt him."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"What is it, Savannah?" Johnny said, his fingers wrapping around her wrist and turning it slightly, kissing the soft inside skin.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She frowned, her eyes troubled. "He kept calling you a harlot..." She didn't like people calling him names.

"The hell?" Johnny frowned. "Why?"

Leo was dressed like a pirate. The strange thing was, this was not because of what day it was. It was merely a coincidence.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, dude," Johnny said, raising a brow at the pirate attire. "What's up?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, not much Man. You?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Just working." He raised his chin a notch. "What's with the pirate garb?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo looked down as if he hadn't realized he'd been dressed as a pirate. "Woah! Uhm, laundry day I think."
