Okay, this is the same idea as Three Words. Except Pete and Amanda are trying
to coax John into telling Kit that he loves her. Again, extremely grotesquely
mushy material. If you have a week stomach, please don't read this. Why do I
have Amanda in there? Because I'm insane, and I think that if they had been
together at a time, it would have been, well, interesting. Now, though,
they're just friends. Even though they're very close. Hmmm. I wonder what
Kurt would think of this...
Disclaimer: Amanda, Kurt, Kitty and Pete are Marvel's. Johnny and Kit are
DC/Vertigo's. No money involved, especially since I have none right now.

Three Words: Vice Versa

        "I couldn't do it then, an' I can't do it now."
        "Things change. People change. A good friend of mine once said "The
day you stop changing is the day you die."
        John shot up. "I'm supposed to be dead! I cheated death, Amanda.
That's why I don't change."
        Amanda Sefton put a hand on John's shoulder. "You know that's not
true. You know that I know it."
        "She's right Johnny," said Pete Wisdom from the floor. "Take yer own
advice."
        "John, we know you've lived through your own personal hells," said
Amanda. "We know you're scared and unsure, and we know you think you're not 
ready. But if you just say it to her maybe things will change."
        "I've never told anyone that before."
        Amanda hugged John. "I know. But there's a first time for everything, 
right, so the easiest thing to do is to just get it the hell over with."
        "You've always been the biggest bullshitter I know. Besides me,"
John replied.
        "I think I'm gonna hit you now, Constantine."
        "Listen John, Kit is the best thing you have right now," said Pete,
lighting up a cigarette. "I mean, most of yer ex's are either dead or taken, 
so maybe this will last. Wot is this, the third go-round with her?"
        "Third time's a charm, Johnny-baby," said Amanda.
        "Mandy, don't call me Johnny-Baby."
        "Awww, you don't like it anymore?" she asked. "You did when we were
dating."
        John poked Amanda in the nose. "Now, how long did that last?"
        "Three years."
        John mumbled.
        "John, get yer bloody ass out there and tell 'er," said Pete. "Now."

        It was raining once again in SoHo. John was walking to where Kit was
staying. He looked down as he lit his cigarette, and bumped into someone. He 
looked up. "I'm sorry, I- Kit?"
        "It's incredible how that always seem to happen to us," Kit said
with a smirk. "You're drenched. What happened?"
        John scratched the back of his head. "Well, I, uh, was on my way to
see you, actually."
        Kit raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" she asked. "Why?"
        "Cause I gotta tell yer somethin'," John replied. 'Shit,'  he
thought. 'Gettin' nervous. Gotta keep the accent down 'least a little bit.'
        "What's that John?" Kit asked.
        "That... I... Even though... y'know, ya can't take my demon shit an' 
all  that  shit, no matter how many times yer tell me yer can't take it, 
I'm... still...well, gonna... um, luv yer. A lot."
        Kit squinted at him. "You what?"
        'Fuck it' John thought. He put his hands gently on her shoulder and
looked her in the eyes. "I luv you."
        Kit stared at him. She put her hands on his wet coat sleeves, leaned
up, and kissed him.
        "I luv you too, John."
        "Kit, I can't change what I do," John said. "The shitheads downstairs're 
always gonna be after me. I know you hate it, but, in spite of that, I wanna be 
with you."
        Kit smiled. "Your accent is fading."
        John turned red. "You noticed?"
        "John, I've known you for too long not to," she replied. "I wanna be
with you, too."

        It had been two days since Pete Wisdom and Amanda Sefton got back
from London. Amanda was chasing Pete around the Muir Island complex.
        "Pay up, Wisdom!"
        "Leave me alone, Sefton."
        "I want my money, you English bastard! That's ten bucks you owe me!"
        "Screw you, ya bleedin' witch!" Pete yelled. "Yer as bad as bloody
MacTaggart!"
        "Get back here, you Jerk!!"
