After the mission with Luca, you two went back to the mansion where the rest of the team was.

When you entered the mansion, the smell of food immediately made your mouth water. Adrian , Dominic , and Matteo were lounging on the couch, casually bantering about something trivial. Meanwhile, Vincent was busy cooking in the kitchen, as usual, his calm and methodical movements filling the space with warmth.

Eagerly, you skipped your way toward the kitchen, hoping to sneak a taste. Just as you reached out, a strong arm wrapped around your waist, easily lifting you off the ground. Adrian pressed his nose against your neck, his familiar playful smirk evident in his voice.

"Hey there, lovely. How did the mission go?" he asked. Adrian had always been like this—stealing little moments of affection with his teasing charm, but never with ill intent.

Before you could respond, Vincent let out a quiet sigh. With his usual air of authority, he strode over, pulling you out of Adrian's grasp effortlessly. Gently, he placed you back on the ground, his hand softly ruffling your hair as though you were a kid caught sneaking sweets.

"Hungry?" Vincent asked, his tone gentle and warm. "Want to eat?"

Your eyes lit up instantly at the mere mention of food, and you nodded eagerly, making him chuckle under his breath before turning back to the stove.
