[Taryon is not the only one surviving on a few hours of sleep. Johnny decided to keep quiet for the remainder of the evening and try to work on some music in peace. The trouble was that he couldn't focus. His mind was spinning out of control after that stupid incident. He spent the entire night thinking about Alt, how they fucked, argued, and loved at the same time.

While Alt and he were never exclusive, he did love her in his own odd way. He just couldn't admit it. The same thing happened to Kerry. They'd argue like cats and dogs one moment and then fuck like animals the next. It was a continual drama between them, with performances that often resulted in broken noses and split lips. However, it was natural...authentic.

The same may be stated for his relationship with V. However, Johnny doesn't wish to open that can of worms. His feelings for V are more convoluted than he could have imagined.

He was in the middle of this depressive thought when he received a notification on his phone. It's Taryon. When Johnny saw the text, he let out an annoyed groan. He is tempted to simply block him and be done with it. Whatever is going on between Taryon and Astarion is none of his concern. He doesn't care. Let the medieval twinks be assholes on their own time.

However, his first mistake was actually reading the text.]

Creepy? You know what's creepy? You insinuating we did more than just "chat," Taryon. That's what the fuck was really creepy here. Or how about you not coming clean about you having fucking input--I mean, boyfriend? Seriously, choom. Don't you sit there like you didn't play a role in this shit.

Also, Astarion is a complete asshole! He went from zero to sixty in 2.5 seconds all because you had me there. He's ridiculous and you're ridiculous.

The two of you deserve each other.

[Fuck. Shit. The consequences of his actions have come to destroy him and his friendship. It's one thing to lie about actually looking for a one-night stand and realizing later that he made a fool of himself. It's another to relish in winning a few minutes of a man's company to the point that another gets jealous and the first one just feels...

Shit. Taryon has become the scoundrel of a bard that Vox Machina often rants to him about. Not a womanizer, exactly, but disrespectful to would-be lovers. A sleazy creep, as Percival said.

But on the other hand, why should he tell him right away that he has a boyfriend? Is that a thing people are supposed to do? Wouldn't that be bragging?

He wishes he had more sleep, and he wishes that he never runs into Johnny again.]

I will not argue against the accusations against me. But leave Astarion out of this.

[Taryon has a suspicion why, but he won't theorize it when he hasn't gotten a full apology and explanation from Astarion. ]

His behavior is his issue, not mine.

[Now that the initial icky feelings are gone, Johnny feels a little...better. Not by much but better. He's no longer smoking a chimney anymore, so that's a plus. Even so, he's not too thrilled at where this conversation is going.]

Fine, I'll leave the pale asshole out of this.

[Of course, he had to get that last dig against Astarion, though. Johnny is petty like that.]

So yeah, that's how I feel about the situation. It was nice knowing you.
