The Causeway - Sunday evening

[fantastic_torch]

As much as he wasn't looking forward to this day, it was here, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. It was time to go.

His stuff had been packed up and sent ahead save for the few things he'd left for Savannah. A few shirts, a hoodie; small incidentals that she'd wanted to keep with her. He'd said his goodbye to Destiny, and rather

Never mind that Eve was going to be leaving in a few weeks herself, she was still oddly teary as she headed for the Causeway to say goodbye to Johnny.

"So..."

[fantastic_torch]

"Hey, little mama," he teased, grinning at her. "Here to see your son-in-law off?"

[blackmagic_eve]

"You know, you are so damn lucky I actually like you."

Because c'mon, there totally had to be one last threat on his life, even if by this point she didn't actually mean it anymore.

[fantastic_torch]

His grin went wide. "You more than like me; you love me. You can't help it."

[blackmagic_eve]

"... Goddamnit, I hate when other people are right," she grumbled, even as she fought a smile.

[fantastic_torch]

"Ah, sweetheart, get in line. I'm always right," he laughed. "I thought Savannah told you that already."

[blackmagic_eve]

"And I thought Savannah already told you how much I hate listening to other people," she countered, grinning at him.

[blackmagic_eve]

"Your ego will make sure you recover quickly," she retorted.

[fantastic_torch]

"It always does," he joked, going for adorable here.

[blackmagic_eve]

"I'm gonna miss that, you know."

And here came the sadface.

[fantastic_torch]

He pointed his finger at her. "No doing that with the face."

[blackmagic_eve]

"I can't help it!"

[fantastic_torch]

"Come here then," he said. "Come here and hug me tight, so that face of yours can't break my heart."

This might be the only single moment in history where the same two faces crushed him completely.

[blackmagic_eve]

And Eve was more than content to fling herself into his arms and bury her face against him for a little while. As much as she hadn't liked him at first, and as much shit as she'd given him in the past... and okay, still gave him now to a degree... he was still part of the landscape of her life and she was going to miss him like hell.

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny clung to her, holding her tight. He was going to miss her so damn much. "Take care of yourself, you hear me?" he asked, his voice low.
