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.

"...Oh."

Oh no.

"...I'm sorry..."

Is there an available hole for him to crawl into?

"Vincent? I'm flattered you asked me out though," she smiles at him.

"I'd really like it if you didn't retract the offer."

[vincent_amora]

"...even though you weren't interested in me?" Vincent responds cautiously. Previously, that had been the major reason in asking Erin out. Granted, she was certainly lovely enough for his taste, and seemed perfectly nice, but he didn't really know that much about her.

What's the worst that could happen?

[wateronthebrain]

"Well. There's no reason why we shouldn't. I'm not seeing anyone and ... your relationship status is open." She smiles a bit awkwardly feeling stupid for bringing that up.

"We also don't really know each other so... it's a chance to get to know each other. No pressure."

[vincent_amora]

Although he's too polite to say so, Vincent would agree, as while he doesn't quite flinch, an eye does twitch at the mention of his 'status'.

"So... a date for Friday night then." He smiles, a bit more reassured.

[wateronthebrain]

That gets a smile from Erin.

"So long as the world doesn't end." She's kidding of course.
