Summary
Vincent has spent his whole life trying to figure out what kind of man he's supposed to be. His father's kind, probably. The kind that walks into a room like he owns it, orders the right drink, says the right thing to the right person. The kind that never pauses in a doorway.
On his twenty-first birthday, he puts on his best shirt and his nicest tie and walks into a bar alone to practice.
He does not practice. He sits in the corner for five hours and talks honestly to a stranger for the first time in his life, and somewhere between the drink he hated and the one he didn't, jazz, cherry stems, and the walk home, something shifts. Not dramatically. The way tides move. You never see it happen, but eventually you look down and the waterline is somewhere different.
His name is Alastor. He is, Vincent will think later, a considerable amount of time's worth of not yet.

Summary
Vincent buys Alastor a birthday gift for his own birthday. Something he's pictured for months, something entirely outside Alastor's usual world. He hands it over braced for rejection, certain he's revealed something strange about himself that can't be unrevealed.
Sometimes the scariest thing isn't asking for what you want. It's finding out you're loved for it anyway.
