Vincent has recently been around the karaoke scene's, so currently at a unnamed bar in Fairhill he was currently doing exactly that. Wearing a purple t-shirt that simply said, 'Warning, may inspire lust' in black letters and a pair shorts he was currently wowing the crowd with his voice, Majesty may also be helping, what's he singing?
"When did I become afraid of the dark?, Was it when I left the cave and swore I'd never go back? If we can't see each other, then there's no more use for hiding, I've decided I'll abide it; why deny the color black?" Will Wood, and he sure was ethuisastic, his movements as energetic as the song as his voice just as much
As Bones walked through the door, with her LBD on tonight. Her mental shields were up, and so she instantly noticed the push of the Majesty assisting. She pushed it away and looked to see who was singing and smiled at Vincent, raising a hand to get his attention before moving to the bar to order a Shirley Temple.
He saw Bones and smiled, he was just about at the finale. and thus for the next few lines sang a bit more softly
"All that I ask is, keep those empty frames, If nobody's in them, then no one is to blame, For your self-portraits, sign another name, Well, who should I be then, if I'll never be the same?"
and then came the final chorus, he poured every once of unease and paranoia he had in his life as he loudly and almost unhingely proclaimed
"I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night, Who else could I be, when I can't fucking see?,I will be my sunshine, I will be my moon at night, I'm nowhere now, here's no one now to be"
and then he stopped, freezing in place and looking up as if to heaven,
"And if dreams can come true, what does that say about nightmares? I'll stay awake tonight" he whispered the last sentence then bowed to the crowd, cheers, may be the Majesty though, he stepped down and seated himself next to bones, "Mind if I put the lady's drink on my bill?" he smiled
"Interesting song choice, and interesting... special effects," a grin with a knowing wink. A one armed hug around Vincent's shoulder was given, "I've missed you and the others. WOrld travel is something else!"
"I was wondering where you've been," he mused, ordering himself a tequila to keep up looks, "Things have been going well, heck great, I've started actual Therapy, group ones too, also have a much clearer vision of what I want from my career, impressed some folks at work." he nodded, "Me and Avery have been making some relationship breakthroughs and I've gotten closer with some friends, think I've made someone mad at me though." he chuckled, "It's good to see you."
"Wow. What a busy month for you! I wish I had that much to share" a laugh, before leaning over to kiss his cheek.
he smiled at the kiss cheek and sat a bit closer, wrapping an arm around her, "Oh, I can think of a few things you can share." he teased and took a sip of his drink, "Yeah, things have been pretty nice, was also volunteering at Ylva's shelter last night, gave me a chance to get back in the kitchen." cooking, that was not a hobby he shared with her
"Interesting. I didn't know you were a home chef. Very good volunteering. SOunds like you're getting in touch with your humanity a bit," another chortle.
he nodded, "Yeah, yeah, listen, if anyone says real men don't cook, point them at me." he chuckled, "Yeah, I know the first few months of the new job where hard, I really stressed, you thought I would be fired but I'm actually doing well and my life is far better then what it was once." he sighed, "But enough of me, how was your travels?"
"Work was work. Archaeological research, symbols to be deciphered, the usual. I didn't do a whole lot of sight seeing, but I did enough to refresh my love of travel."
he nodded, "I'm a city boy, but maybe one day I can hit Ocean City in the summer." he shrugged then drank his drink some more, "I am happy your back," he leaned and kissed her neck a bit, he's become less and less concerned about PDA lately, especially when you're the star of the room, thank you Majesty, "Hey, new deal, when ever ya go out of town, please bring me a souvenir, I'll start a collection."
"Given recent events, that could be frequent," she sighed happily at the kiss, "you're brilliant at that..."
"At what?" he whispered in her ear before sipping his drink again
"Mmm those ksises. Getting better all the time... though now... the thought of... I haven't cleared that, or fufilled that in a month,...."
"Is it something you want cleared?" he asked, "If so, it's fine, but I like the thought of being on your mind, I've also been limiting myself," he admitted, "Part of my dealing with my addictions, I'm only playing with the approved, no random hookups anymore, so it's that group I hang with," his herd, "You and Kenzie, I have Artie on the mind but I'm just at the flirty stage thus far, hope he's interested, also someone who I need to level up to unlock, but that's a secret." he smiled,
"Huh. I'd like to know that secret sometime, and I know that's because of my curious nature. I do not wish to clear it, for if I wanted to, I could have at any time... I have some strong feelings with you, Vince, before and after.
"Just don't fall in love," he teased with a wink, "Ugh, this drink is hardly quenching my thirst." he get's up, "Gotta use the bathroom." he winked, if she wants a hit of the Kiss, follow him
His hint was taken and after a few minutes, she slipped off the stool and headed to the ladies room, though slipped into the men's at the last moment.
when she walked into the men's room, be grabbed her hips from behind and held her close, kissing her neck before giving her the Kiss, moans escaping as his hand explored her
SHe fell into the Kiss and let the feeling overtake her. That mental push against her shield was allowed for the Kiss and the pleasure was, as always, peak.
he drank deep from her, groping her a bit before stopping, kissing her neck before letting go fully, "Fuck I needed that." he chuckled, "Limited hook ups mean limited blood, but I'm glad to have such a wonderful herd." he said, hopping to sit on the sink, "So, do I get five star review?" he laughed
After the Kiss, they made a zig-zag motion in the air, focusing on that movement with the Seeker's eye, and sighed happily. "Thank you. Yes. That was amazing..."
"However, let's not call me part of the herd..."
he nodded, "Sure, sure, sorry." he said, "Didn't mean to offend." he held up he hands before hopping down and opening the door for her, "Ladies first."
She slipped out of the restroom and headed to the bar once again.
"Shall we go somewhere we can discuss more, or do you want to work talk here or just fun/personal talk?"
he thought, "If it's good with you I fig this joint, we can talk here." he went to a table and sat down, "So, what's on your mind?"
"I'd just love to hear more about the therapy, if you'd like to share, or the ways to impress your bosseso r the breakthroughs you've had."
he nodded, "Well, I first went to group therapy and joined a group," he raised his hand in greeting, "Hi, I'm Vincent Drake and I'm a sex addict." he shrugged, "Ya know, talked about our lows, why we go after it, after that I got recommended a therapist, of course it's start with the childhood, which is a pandora's box."
"And is this ... a Maddy's group?"
"Nope." he shook his head, "Out of company."
"Huh. Very cool. How have you been balancing that aspect? Do you allude to some of the difficulties of work or just focus on your more ... typical issues?
he nodded, "We focus more on the problem in the group, in Therapy I focus on the personal issues, allude to work in the vaugueist of terms, we're currently focusing on the impact of my parents." he takes a breath, "My father is not me, their abuse does not define me." he said to himself, "Sorry, she said to say that to myself if I started heading down that thought road."
"Very cool. I'm proud of you. What about work?"
"That I got hired as a temp but when my trainee got axed, they took me full time, couple of high stress months that ended up rewarding." he nodded, "Management took an interest, taking me on." he simply said, "It's like. . .lady from management came back to town, learned about my situation and took me on."
"Very cool. I've heard some of those things. Glad to hear your having improved relations. Hopefully you get all of your desires soon."
he nodded, "Yeah I was. . .an immature jerk the first few months and I am so sorry for that, but now I actually have a plan and goal in mine, going to play things slow and steady and just, ya know, focus on one thing at a time, not taking things all at ones, step by step now."
"I understand those ideas. I've been building my steps again. Trying to ... find myself... since everything. The job taking me around the world in 30 days helped."
"So, have your found yourself?" he asked, interested, "Val wants the promotion one day, doesn't want to be a temp forever." he revealed as he sipped his drink
"I know. She and I discussed such. And as for myself... We shall see. I am in a more... let's do what the fuck I wnat to do mood lately, versus flowing to others needs.
he nodded, "Am I among what ya want to do?" he teased, then thought of something then chuckled, "There are some things I've been meaning to try with you," he admitted, then his demeanor changed, nervous, "Hey, professor Shanks, I know my grades have been slipping but I can't repeat the class, anything I can do to fix them." he then shifted back and started cackling, "Sorry, sorry, been waiting to use that one for a month."
"...Oh. That... you... I... oiy vey..."
he cackled again at that reaction
"You... are... trouble..." she blushed deeply, looking away at the current singer instead.
"Good trouble I hope," he made a mental note, Professor Shanks and Student Drake, breaks them, use for future, "Also been picking up self defense, Artie and Umi have been teaching me to use a Katana, actually have been getting pretty good at it, I've cut people before but now It's not people asking for it." he chuckled, taking another sip of his drink
"Katana? Really? Artie's good people..." her voice and gaze grew distant, sipping at the drink once more.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"Just... I kinda wronged Umi. Work demoted me for it. Haven't spoken to them directly yet since."
his eyes windend, "Oh. ..work drama," he rubbed the back of his head, Vincent had some weaknesses, and when two of his friends didn't get along, brrrr, he moved his hand towards Bone's, "Hey, I get it, office politics, but you're a new Bones right, leave it at the office door, it's just you and me right now in here," he smirked, "Please Professor Shanks, I can do some extra credit." he teased
"Yeah. Just you and I.... and goodnesss... that's part of why I was never a professor..." the blush spread once more, "You are such a tease. After all of that, you know the kind of effect you have...."
"What, afraid some horny college students would get hot for teacher?" he teased more, "Yes, I'm a tease, but when this happens," he gestured to their blush, "It's the reward, you're adorble when you get weak in the knee's, I may have had some fun when I was a kid, but I messed out on the school yard sweet heart and butterfly stomachs, just let me have this." he giggled, "would you believe me if I considered skin flicks once or escort work once, like six years ago." he shrugged
"Yes. I would. I also really think you and my cadremate should meet sometime. Trade stories about seducing professors and the like..."
"Is he the one with better hair?" he asked, "Kenzie said his hair is better then mine, I refuse to believe that." he shook his head, "I decided I wanted to use my brain more than the Holy Blade, so I stuck to con-jobs, mental workouts and all."
"Mhmm. I definitely understand that! I could have done sports, or gymnastics like Val, or other things... I decided to stick to my brain."
"You would have done good, you're quite. . .flexible." another tease, "But now I'm officially upgrading from that too, going into management, with a specialization in dating services and mood stabilization." read Vice trade, facilitation of sex work and narcotics
"Yeah... I getcha. I getcha. Well... I came to find a hot date. I think I found one. Care to head home?" a grin at that.
he smiled, "Let's head to my place, the townhouse, it's. . .specialized." he grinned, offering a arm as they head out.
