Not sure if you've already answered this before but ! I haven't seen this question pop onto your blog yet so here i am asking! How did Tom and Jesse first meet? Was it a classic case of "Oh hey new neighbor!", or was it moreso "Hey Tom meet this rlly cool person I met :D"? And how did their ''confession'' play out? Like who confessed first, how did they do it, so on and so forth.
[Is this okay to ask ?? Like you can totally 100% disregard this ahah]
:000!!! HELLOOOO IM SO GLAD U ASKED HEHRHS I'M SO EXCITED I'm gonna put this on read more heheh it's very long :'D I'm gonna be so indulgent and cringe watch me
nobody actually asked me yet, until you!! SO THANK UUU EHEH I actually recently managed to come up with an idea so yES I do have a story for how they actually met!!! I had this discussed with my buddy so I'll copy paste that info here!! :DD
• jesse meets them at a yard/garage sale because edd and tom finally said "matt ur shit is clogging our house we're going to sell your stuff now"
• AS IF MATT COULD FIGHT BACK they eventually have a yard sale and while his stuff is being displayed outside matt tries to switch his items with tom and edd's items so that THEIR stuff would (hopefully) be sold instead
• jesse walks by their house and the first thing she hears is matt crying, and then the shitty drawn yard sale banner (courtesy of edd but it still looks horrible LMAO) but hey when there's stuff to sell why not go check it out
• so, she among some random people look at the stuff being sold.... half of the items are just any variation of matt's face... edd and tom attends to her because they're the ones hosting. edd greets her.
• "hello!! feel free to look around, let me know if- hEY — MATT STOP SWITCHING YOUR STUFF WITH MINE-" and then edd runs to matt and fights with him and she's left with tom
• it was, very quiet. he probably doesn't care enough to say smth damn but she tries to strike a convo.
"any good items you could reccomend?"
he looks back at her. "oh sure, yeah it's over there"
• she goes there and sees the checkered pattern bass on sale, its patched up but it looks pretty cool anyways. "how much is this, sir?"
"the prize is just there" he didn't look yet
"it looks pretty expensive for it just be sold like that.... it looks customized as well"
• and then tom realizes MATT PLACED HIS GUITAR ON THE STAND
• he runs to her and, forcibly grabs it away from her. after realizes his brash movement he quickly apologizes
• "i-uh. sorry. that's actually mine. that guy crying over there decided to switch my stuff with his because he didn't wanna ~lose his toy collection~" he was so salty in that last phrase, and crosses his arms
"you play the bass?" she asks
"oh, yeah. how did you know it was a bass?"
"i like music too, y'know? I'm not bland" she awkwardly cracks a joke, but her cute giggle was enough
• he laughs back, "I'm surprised you know that" he's a little impressed. pretty good first impression on her part
• after their short but nice exchange, she excuses herself to keep browsing some more items, tom still had his bass on his hand. he went back to his original spot but decided to observe her on his chair while he tried to strum his bass out of boredom. he thinks she's kinda cool after being able to differentiate an electric guitar with a bass
• she finds an item she likes and decides that she should buy it. she goes back to tom, who was still all by himself because matt and edd still be WRESTLING
• "id like to get this one!" she hands the item to him.
"oh, yeah sure."
• she nods, and pulls out her wallet. oh no, she's a few coins and money short uUH OH NO she panics
"oh. oh dear"
"huh?"
• "I, uh. I'm a little short on money" her anxiety got the better of her and she starts to try to look in her pockets if she had some spare while frantically rambling to herself
she was in awkward misery in his eyes, so he tries to save it
"wait, I can hold this item for you!" he tries to calm her. she pauses and looks back at him. "you can?"
• "i-i mean. yeah! me and my friend are running this, so why can't I make my own rules too?" not that he knows if this is even a possible rule in selling but since she seemed pretty sweet, he thought to make an excuse for her
• "oh, that's such a relief, thank you!!" she places her wallet back. "ill come back here tomorrow with the right money, I promise!!"
• "nah, it's all good. heck I've had it worse when my friend bought other stuff instead of nails when we tried to build something" he motions back at matt, behind him
• she notices matt, he's sitting and bound to the chair with ropes to keep him restrained from doing his shit again
"is he always like this?"
"don't mind it." tom tries to shift topic
• "since I'll be saving this item for you, can I get your name?" he grabs a random piece of paper and pen and hands it to her
• "ah, right. one moment!" she scribbles her name down. her handwriting is neat and pretty
•" 'jesse payton' nice. tom ridley by the way." he extends his hand to hers, and she responds by giving him a gentle handshake
• "it was nice seeing you! I'll be back tomorrow again!" she slowly backs up and waves a goodbye at him
he waves back at her, his guitar still in hand
"nice guitar by the way, you should take good care of it before it gets sold again!" she teased
"pfft. yeah that won't happen again!"
and there she left, he still watched her leave and then looked at the little paper
"you're pretty cool, jesse" (<333 UEUEUEUE CRYING)
edd comes back with a rope and scissors from trying to rope matt back. "did you sell anything?"
"no, but I did get a name and number"
edd frowns back at him. "that's not money"
"give me a break, edd"
ANDDD THATS HOW THEY METTT HEHE I still didn't figure out how they confessed, but tom most definitely fell in love first, and then she did much later. he also confessed first!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺💓💓💓💞💞

Happy Together
Pairing: Female V/Gustavo Orta
Characters: Fem V, Gustavo Orta, Johnny Silverhand.
Tags: Angst/Hurt, Comfort, depression, loss, death, grief/mourning, Johnny is a sweetheart deep down, best friends.
Summary: Cherry shows a piece of her past to Johnny, opening up old wounds in the process. Johnny shows his soft side even if it's only for a little while (this is NOT canon to Cherry's story just a little AU)
The drive up to The Columbarium is always a tough one. On typical sad days it always rains but this time the blistering heat of the sun makes Cherry's skin melt and stick to the leather of her car seat. The mumbling of the radio a pleasant distraction as the looming dread of those tall pillars comes into view. 
"The fuck are we doing here?" Johnny glitches into existence in the backseat making the woman jump.
"Just paying a visit, why are you back there anyway"
Johnny leans over, pointing to the flowers resting in the passenger seat.
"Don't wanna sit on em" 
"Well look at you being thoughtful for once" Cherry scoffs
"I know better than to disrespect the dead, you know me better than that" he declares as the car rolls to a stop. Her hands grip hard to the steering wheel.
"You can stay in the car Johnny I know this shit isn't your thing" 
"You're obviously here to see someone I'm not stupid, you need me and I'm here, always. You know that" 
Who knew this parasite that wormed his way into her head had a heart, even if he's slowly killing her, Johnny is.. something else. There's no romantic attachment but the idea of being alone, no Johnny to wake up to, his snarky comments or the fact he's always there when she needs him. All alone. That made a pit swill in her stomach. She knows at the end of the day it's either him or her but as the days pass by it's getting harder to make that fucking decision. 
"Thank you Johnny, really. I would" she pauses "I really need you" 
"Anytime kid" he then flicks out of existence with a smile.
Her lips itch for a cigarette as the anxiety builds in her stomach, anything to taste the burn of nicotine on her tongue as it fills her lungs full of cancer and satisfaction.
Peeling herself out of the car still fighting the urge for a smoke. Flowers in one hand anger in the other, she walks up the stairs, her heels clicking on the spotless tiles. The silence is deafening, feels like the whole world is zoomed in on her like this is some game. Such a fucking funny game.
She grips the flowers hard as the faint sound of crying comes into earshot. She rushes by quickly ignoring the tears already burning in the back of her eyes, rounding a corner the crying dies down as her destination comes into view. Biting her lip hard she stands face to wall.
"Hey Gustavo, I missed you" her lips twitch. 
Gustavo Orta, the man you always could rely on. Rest in peace.
She sits crossed legs facing the blue plaque. A lonely pot of wilting flowers lean against the wall along with half melted candles, she reaches out and touches the petals gently. Dry but soft.
"I'm sorry the heat got to you so badly, Gustavo would flip if he saw this" she chuckles through the pain as she collects the water jug next to the pot and watches the water slowly trickle down the flower into the soil.
She sets the new flowers next to old, the comparison between the two is too hard to ignore. One discoloured, brittle, starved the other fresh, lively, perky. It reminds her of herself in a way.
"Who's this?" Johnny squats into view pointing at the wall "brother, friend, boyfriend?"
"Husband actually" she looks at Johnny with a small smile and also a little humoured seeing him so taken back.
"You? Married? You don't look like the marrying type Isabella wait sorry Cherry" 
"No, call me Isabella please" she corrects him.
Silence falls between the two, it's awkward the kind of tense that you wish something would happen to break the ice.
"How'd he, you know, don't have to tell me like" he moves into a side sitting position.
"Some Merc zeroed him, had a hit on his head because of a rumour of all things. Saw him with a girl of the opposite family, dad got jealous and tried to have him killed but she got the bullet instead so they sent in a reliable Merc. Grabbed him when he was alone and yea. Had to go identify the body they fucked him up so bad. Not the way you wanna remember your husband's face" she falls silent as the tears threaten to break free.
"Shit, I'm sorry kid I know this sorta stuff I hard to go through, lost someone special to me too so you're not alone" 
"Doesn't get easier does it?" 
He replies to her question with a sorrowful head shake.
"I thought as much, he would've liked you, he had a thing for assholes with a soft center" she laughs as her head rests on his shoulder. He smelled like cigarettes with a mix of sweat and cologne.
"Of course he would've what's not to like about me, everyone warms up to eventually even you" he huffs out as laugh when she jabs his side.
"Wanna smoke?" She looks up at him, his eyes glued to the wall with an unreadable expression.
"Light em up, I'm itching for one. I can feel your eagerness too" she shuffles in her jacket pocket feeling the paper of the cigarette dancing across her knuckles.
Man did it feel good to have that burn in her lungs again, the sweet dull taste washing over her tongue like a tsunami. She remembers how Gustavo's lips used to taste. A kiss so hypnotic it drove her crazy. Soft dreamy hair she ran her fingers through every morning, his gentle touch that made her blush and squirm in all the right ways. She's a complicated woman with two sides. One reserved, hidden away the other outgoing, bubbly and loyal and it made her feel exposed the way he'd crack open her personality and see a side only he got to see.
"So tell me about him, what was he like as a husband?" his hand gently runs up and down her back.
"The best, the fact he had to run a whole gang under his belt but never raised his voice or his hand to me or anyone close to him, sure he got irritated, work got him down and he may have snapped at his members sometimes but he was always smiling and laughing while having that charming sarcastic personality. He was..the best I could've asked for" the tears break through the barriers and run down her cheeks. Dripping on her hands.
"Hey, no tears. We'll get the guy who killed your husband alright? He took something away from you, something important and yea we may have hated each other's guts at one point but Arasaka can wait. You're more important right now" his arm pulls her into his chest gently
"I've got you kid, it's okay. I'm here" he says soothingly as her hands grip onto his tank top. His chest is the perfect pillow to bury her face in and just let it all out. His arms wrap around her body tightly, covering her with his body.
"Thank you Johnny out of all the people's heads you could've infected I'm glad it was mine" she laughs while she wipes her tears away.
"You're welcome sweetheart, you owe me a new tank top though, got your snot n' tears all over me" 
"Yea I um maybe blew my nose on you while I was there" she bats her eyelashes at him in a puppy like fashion
"Disgusting, you're not crying on me ever again" he wipes at his shirt with a annoyed look in his eyes
"Fine, I'll just do it again when you're not looking. Now" she stands and stretches with a yawn "let's get the fuck out of here, I've let all my sad bitch out for the day" 
"I'm gonna nap in the car, think I earned it after all that" he glitches next to her with a smirk
"Okay. Deal. Now get your ass in the car before I change my mind"
"Will do princess" he salutes as he fades back into nothingness.
She quickly bends down, kissing her fingers and pressing it against the plaque. Saying goodbye will always make the hole of loneliness in her heart grow, threatening to swallow her whole but she's got shit to do.
"Sleep well baby, I'll be seeing you soon" she whispers, walking away from The Columbarium once again, Like history on a never-ending painful loop. Stay strong tomorrow is a new day.
