Clingy~Asheyes
“I am not clingy!” Tim defends, glaring at Jonny for the accusation. “Yes, you are! Ever since you and Ashes came back from The City, you’ve clung onto them!” “I have not!” Jonny rolls his eyes, “You’re sitting in their lap right fucking now!” “And what’s wrong with that?” “We’re performing, Tim!” The audience laughs at Jonny’s desperation and Tim smugly grins, “I don’t think they want me to move either.” “Well we kinda need our fucking guitarists Tim!” Tim picks up his guitar and hands it to the closest person, The Toy Soldier, “Be careful with it now.” “Tim I swear when we get back on the Aurora I’m gonna shoot you and then make you clean your own brains off the walls.” Ashes finally taps in, wrapping their arms around Tim, “I’m the quartermaster, that would be my chore to give, and it would go to you.”
It takes another few minutes to get Tim where he’s supposed to be, and after the show, Jonny follows up on his promise of shooting him. But Ashes also follows up on theirs, putting Jonny on cleaning duty for the day. And at the end of the day, Tim gets to keep cuddling Ashes, so who’s the real winner here? Definitely not Jonny. Although Tim does have to repair his guitar string that TS broke trying to figure out the chords. So maybe it’s not Tim either. Maybe it’s Ashes, who gets to cuddle Tim and see Jonny angrily clean blood spatters. Yeah it’s probably Ashes. It’s definitely Ashes. As usual.
