petty_dabblerFawn had given John the pass code so he could come inside without Fawn needing to be there to give permission. And so, naturally, John took advantage of it. He had his feet up, watching a video, when he heard the door.
"I brought some beer, love. And some chocolate. Come see, this is the newest bit of your sho-" he said, slowly turning to look at Fawn.
But it wasn't Fawn.
John sat bolt upright and scrambled to his feet.
"Fin," he said, his throat tight.

"You've got a pimp on a space ship?" John asked incredulously.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:54 am (UTC)"I don't know what that word is," Fin replied honestly. "I have a manager though. Goodfellow helped me secure a licence to offer my services here, and he arranges my meetings. I still get last say in who I spend time with, but he makes it easier to find work."

Date: 2021-07-20 12:00 pm (UTC)"Goodfellow. Rob. Of course. But, of course," he sighed heavily.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:03 pm (UTC)"You know him?" Fin asked.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:09 pm (UTC)"I knew him in my world. Yeah. He still proud of his third leg?" John snorted.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:11 pm (UTC)"I believe he's what they would call bipedal," Fin replied, puzzled.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:51 pm (UTC)John rolled his eyes and gave his head a shake.
"His prick, love. Where I'm from he's hung like a bloody draft horse."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 01:06 pm (UTC)"Oh. Yes, he has a sizable organ," Fin nodded. "When we first met he was swimming in the nude."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 01:53 pm (UTC)"Even in the middle of space, I can't say I'm surprised. Alright, so Rob's here, too. I wonder who else..."
His thought trailed off and he took another swallow.
"Huh."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 04:16 pm (UTC)Fin drank as well, still eyeing John curiously
"What are your intentions with my brother?" he asked finally.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 05:01 pm (UTC)"How do you mean?" he asked. "I'm not going to steal him away someplace. It'd be nice to live together, though, I think. But that's up to him, innit?"
It had always been up to Fawn. John wanted what he wanted, but he wasn't about to just snatch it and take it from the being.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 05:52 pm (UTC)Fin frowned, but said nothing to that. Instead he moved on.
"What do you do on this ship? Do you have a job?"
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:02 pm (UTC)"No. As far asI can tell, I'm just a passenger. Like you," he answered. "And no one's had questions about me being here, so it must have all slotted into place when I arrived. That's what I think, anyway."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:09 pm (UTC)"I'm not a passenger, I'm a refugee- As is Fawn. It's why we'll be asked to leave unless we find the money or means to stay," Fin explained.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:17 pm (UTC)He needed a plan. What he needed was a great plan, because Fin had just made him realize just how fucked he was when they realized he wasn't supposed to be there.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:22 pm (UTC)"I don't want to leave this place," Fin confessed. "I finally feel like I belong somewhere."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:26 pm (UTC)"I don't think you've got a lot of options, mate," John said. "You have any solid ideas?"
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:34 pm (UTC)"Work harder? Marry Hex? Fuck, I don't know," Fin chuckled, shaking his head.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:41 pm (UTC)John reached up to scratch the back of his head with blunt nails.
"Don't the refugee card get you any luck?" John asked. "Some sort of galactic act of mercy?"
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:51 pm (UTC)"It's getting us free passage to the station," Fin shrugged.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:57 pm (UTC)"Between a rock and a hard place, you are. I think we all are," John said.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 07:09 pm (UTC)"What I need is a rich client to sponsor me," Fin said.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:39 pm (UTC)"Betcha Willy's got the credits," John muttered.
He'd bumped into the prick and was surprised he couldn't feel the magic he once had. He still couldn't stand him, but at least John didn't feel he was as dangerous...
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:45 pm (UTC)"I don't think he's interested," Fin said with a sigh. "I suppose I could ask Goodfellow to find a way to keep me onboard."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:49 pm (UTC)"And be more indebted to him? There's got to be a better way," he said.
Slowly, he moved to sit beside him. Casually, as he'd done a hundred times, he laid a warm, heavy hand on Fin's back to reassure him.
