Sorry about that. I've been trying to come up with something to write, but every time I open the doc, my mind goes blank lol

As Viktor listed off what he wanted to eat, Erin reinforced the paper plate with another, then a third after thinking about it for a moment. She listened intently as Viktor spoke while she loaded up the plate, nearly dropping a bell pepper when he outright said he and Daphne were sleeping together. She blushed and glanced at Vincent, who nearly choked on the water he was sipping. While he had been with the team long enough to know that Viktor was painfully literal most of the time, those were still the last words he expected to hear so blatantly.

The couple were quiet as Viktor continued, explaining what had happened between himself, Will, and Daphne at the water front. Vincent, after catching his breath, "That explains the glare you gave him."

Meanwhile, Erin was in thought as she filled the first plate. As she nudged it toward Viktor and reached for another, she slowly said, "I'm taking a guess by saying this, but would it be safe to say that this is the first time you've been in a relationship? Or at least in such a serious one?" She waited for Viktor's reply before she continued, "I won't say I'm an expert on relationships or anything. I've only dated a couple times and...well, my parents would rather I study something 'worthwhile' like law or business or goddamn politics than the intricacies of interpersonal relationships." When she paused to collect herself, Vincent found himself surprised at the venom in her voice when she spoke about her parents. He knew she wasn't on the best terms with them, but he hadn't had a chance to ask her for specifics.

I'll try to ask her about them later, he thought, rubbing Erin's back comfortingly as she continued, "To say that how you felt wasn't normal would be dismissive. Your feelings matter and it's good that you've already told Daphne that you wanted to talk. Just don't forget that when you do, her feelings matter, too. She might not realize that you felt hurt when she got close to Will, so make sure you keep that in mind when you talk. Don't go into the conversation heated or else you can end up pushing her away. Calmly talk to her about what happened, how it made you feel, and go from there."

After a few moments, she looked in Viktor's eyes and added, "Opening your heart to someone is scary. You have to make yourself vulnerable to someone and that requires an amount of trust. You have to trust that she won't intentionally hurt you and she has to do the same for you or else your relationship won't last. You do trust her, right?”

Vincent was having a great time. He and Erin were in complete sync as they both manned the grills while 80's rock and metal music played on the bluetooth speaker she brought from home. With how well they moved around each other, careful not to trip over one another's feet, and with the music playing, Vincent would have likened it to a dance of sorts, if he were the poetic type.

Some time later, they had finished cooking for the time being and, as Vincent ran an onion across the grate of the grill he had been using for the meat, he felt Erin's back press against his as she leaned against him. He said nothing and continued cleaning the grill as he simply enjoyed her presence. Less than a month ago, the thought of being in a relationship had never crossed his mind, but now that he and Erin were together, even if they were just feeling things out, he couldn't deny how much happier he was.

As he cleaned the grill, he looked out at his teammates as they enjoyed the beach. Pei was having fun in the water Zach was with his boyfriend; Ro and Kassy were doing something in the water, as well. At first, Vincent thought they were playing, but there seemed to be a purpose to whatever they were doing. His eyes soon drifted over to where Daphne and Will were talking. They were too far away for him to make out what they were saying, but something seemed to spook Daphne, making her cling to Will's back just as Viktor approached them. While he had no idea what was being said, Vincent could almost use his powers on the daggers Viktor's glare gave Will before the former approached the grill.

Vincent's eyebrows rose as Viktor made his request. The food was easy enough to take care of, but relationship advice would be a tall order for him to fulfill. "Uhh, you sure you're asking the right guy, Vik?" he asked as he closed the grill. He glanced at Erin, who stifled a laugh, and added, "I'm not exactly an expert at this kinda thing, either. You'd be better off asking Za--"

Erin cut him off by gently nudging his arm with an elbow as she stepped beside him. "What he means is that we're happy to help," she told Viktor as she picked up a paper plate. "What's on your mind? And while you're at it, what're you hungry for?"

I sent @IAmTheIsland a DM, but I can send a new one and rope @mattmanganon into it to make things easier to plan, if everyone's okay with that

Have you guys started working on this yet? @Daxam @mattmanganon

Sorry that took so long, currently in one of those rutts of "Get up, go out, come home, sleep, repeat." Where my ability to find time to post is a bit hampered. I'm trying my best.
