An Entirely Decent (If Ill-informed) Proposal (set after Asgard and Valentine's Day)

[vincent_amora]

Vincent had deliberated for some time after receiving Erin's Valentine's Day present. He was reasonably flattered, but more than that, he was annoyed with himself and confused. The confusion was since he was still on the rebound from Roxanne, and wasn't quite sure he was ready for another relationship. On the other hand, there was no need for it to be particularly serious, right? He could just go on a normal date with this girl who was apparently interested in him, right?

The fact that he hadn't noticed her attraction to him was the cause for the annoyance. Distraught over Roxanne or not, he should be more perceptive than that. For shame.

So, when next he finds her by herself at the Mansion, he's worked up the resolve to ask her out.

It's funny because Vincent is reading into this the wrong way. Erin had been finishing up some studying for the afternoon when he would find her in one of the sitting areas. She took her classes very seriously and was scrawling down numbers for a math problem.

She is focusing so hard she doesn't even notice he's there. Her nose is wrinkled in heavy focus and she is biting her tongue lightly. She demands the best from herself and messing up just won't do.

The Date

Vincent arrives with flowers, and nicely dressed (not quite dressed up, but still), to pick up Erin for their date.
