Summary: Johnny’s obsession with Stillson goes both ways. (Stillson character drabble... ish. Spoilers through season 4. Have yet to watch tonight’s ep. *pout*)

Eighteenth day of June!fic!

For teinte (again) “left wanting” (and yup, another night where I whipped up something upon realizing the time after playing the Sims2 ;;^^)

---

He waits for it. Every time they meet he waits for The Touch—the significant one that sends the psychic spinning into some future world; the one that makes his blood pound in his ears and makes him deaf and blind to all the warnings he know should be clear.

At each encounter it happens. On the rare occasion, more than once. It’s an addiction, a nasty habit he knows he needs to kick. He’s fallen into a junky’s pattern wherein each time the dose does less and less... He needs more, he longs for more.

Any information he can get his hands on is filtered through other people, he’s never been truly in control. Always someone else—first his father, now Janus. He doesn’t know why they do it. He likes power, but he doesn’t particularly care for rush of control at manipulating every little detail of another person’s life. He’s seen Purdy fall apart more than once. The way Janus put him back together is ugly and unfamiliar by any stretch of the imagination.

He waits for the day when he’ll find out the details; when the psychic will crack and go after him like a madman. Maybe he’ll be dragged into on of the infamous visions. Maybe he’ll be focused through the sights of a rifle. Neither would really surprise him at this point. He’d rather live. He wants to know what it is that the psychic sees. What’s the future like? What is it that has John Smith so scared that his even his fury is curbed by the fearsome knowledge of some future world?

The want is with him every day. He wants the knowledge. He wants the power. He wants the vision. And he really wants the blond psychic that stalks him from a distances. For now he has no ideas as for how to get Smith, but his every fantasy is caught up in capturing the man and getting something—anything—more than he has in the past.
