Who: Victor + you
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: S. S. Heron
When: Now-ish

[Victor is thrilled with the gift James gave him. Just as he's sure James loved all the camera equipment Victor got for him. Knowing very little about cameras, he just got a lot of different models and film types, thinking James can experiment with the medium. As for the other Jim, Victor had sent over some drawings he made. It does help that he knows what the crew of the Enterprise looks like, so he could do lots of drawings of them for Jim.

Since this is a new year and all, Victor is going to kick it off doing something he normally wouldn't do: perform in public. James got him a violin-type instrument that he's been eager to play. Why not do it in front of an audience? So he plays a song, letting a few beats of silence pass after he's done before speaking]

About a year ago, I arrived in a place called Riverview. I was bitter and lonely, and back then only wanted to focus on my work. But over the course of the year I built up friendships and met people I grew to love. I feel so lucky that one of those people is here with me now, and agreed to marry me.

I'm interested in seeing what this year will bring me.

Your playing is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

[ Jim walks in about halfway through the music, lingering in a more or less hidden spot while waiting for Victor to finish. There's a small, warm smile as he finishes the broadcast with a few words, and finally, once that's wrapped up, he walks up to him, wrapping his arms around Victor's neck from behind, leaning in to kiss him just behind his ear. ]

I feel so lucky, too. [ He nuzzles against Victor's neck, pulling back so Victor can turn around to face him. ] And glad to see you like your gift.

So, you were in Riverview, too? Kirk mentioned it. Well, the newer one.

[Keith smiled a bit.]

He said I was there, too, but I guess it was a different version of me. I'm Keith.

It's always good to have people you're close to in a place like this, especially since you were somewhere else together.

[ He pauses for a beat. ] The song you played was nice.

That's quite a start to the new year, [Remy was only really starting to get to know Victor, as it only felt right considering how much their lovable idiots were spending time with each other. Honestly, Remy thought his ego was over inflated, but it had nothing on the Kirks.] Very optimistic, not that that be a bad thing.

_{[ He might have cried a little at your gift, Victor. He was never going to tell you that, ever, but god did he cherish those little portraits. He had gone out to find something secure to store them, these precious new items. He finds himself unsurprised by the other having further talent, of course in another art. It is beautiful played and he smiles as he watched. ]}

Well well, you are just full of surprises, Mr. Frankenstein.
