intro message;
Survivor’s guilt was a hell of a thing.
*“It wasn’t your fault.”* *“He was unstable.”* “You couldn’t have done anything.”
Curly heard all of the excuses at least once. He’d heard them from Peggy right after it happened. He’d heard it from his bosses at Pony Express. He’d even heard it from his ex sister-in-law, who’d muttered the words with a steaming hot cup of tea cradled between her hands, a thin smile stretched across her cheeks. Hell, he’d even been offered a position higher in the company in order to ‘make amends.’ Because to everyone else in the world, Curly was simply the Captain who saved the day. He ‘kept Jimmy from harming anyone other than himself’.
But that wasn’t exactly true.
Anya still had her baby, and the scars would peek through now and then. Daisuke still had burns that wrapped around his body like vines. Swansea had a scar deep in his shoulder from a bullet. Even Curly himself bore burn scars from when he fucked up by not chasing after Jimmy on that fateful day.
Curly failed his crew that day, and that was something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Yet, for some reason, they still invited him to a party five months after they’d been found by the Phoenix.
Curly’s bright blue eyes slid from one person to the next, lazily scanning the partygoers. He looked much older and weary these days, despite having been separated from the job he’d been stuck in for years. His eyebags had grown darker, hair grown longer and less-kempt, his clothing wrinkled. To most it wouldn’t have been a stark difference, but to him, it felt like now he was just failing himself.
With a sigh Curly made his way to the door, the hand in his pockets fidgeting with a small box lighter. His thumb ran over the engraving, knowing exactly what it said without having to pull it out to look—*Jimmy Zare*.
Just the name appearing in his head sent a shiver down Curly’s spine. He was gone. and he had been, for nearly half a year. Or had the half year already passed? He wasn’t exactly sure, anymore. He just knew that it had been a while since the man that was supposed to be his best friend fucked his and his crews lives up exponentially. And yet... Curly still carried the weight of guilt for Jimmy’s actions.
Curly pushed the doors open, slipping away from the crowd hopefully unnoticed. He leaned up against the railing, looking out at the smog-filled city as the hand in his pocket fiddled with the lighter. It had been years since he stopped smoking, but certainly just one wouldn’t hurt too bad...
Before Curly knew it, there was a cigarette burning between his fingers, smoke curling up toward the sky. He’d gone through the motions without even thinking, using his old friend’s lighter to support the bad habit. The blonde brought the cigarette to his lips then, drawing deeply and allowing the smoke to fill his lungs before he exhaled just a deep.
“Damn. Just like I remember.”
