WHO: Victor and Kat
WHAT: Surprises!
WHEN: I have lost track of the time so I'll say July 2nd and I can edit if wrong
WHERE: The beach in Athens
WARNINGS: ??

The idea had been percolating in his mind ever since Kat had mentioned she would basically be moving in when they got back from Greece. They had spent two weeks together travelling now and it had been amazing. He figured there was another way to make the time memorable, though he waited until Thomas and Jamie were with them to actually put his plans into action. He wanted Kat to have support either way this ended up going.

After a spectacular meal with their friends at their seaside hotel, Victor asked Kat if she wanted to take a night walk on the beach alone with him. They took their leave of Jamie and Thomas and strolled across the sand, close to the waves. It was absolutely beautiful. He wrapped one arm around her and pulled her close. "I love the ocean," he commented, a little stunned by the beauty of everything around him.

"That's great news!" Jamie said. "Congratulations!" He dried off his torso so he wouldn't get Kat all wet, then wrapped her in a hug. "That's awesome, I'm happy for you."

Happily she hugged Jamie, glad that no one was saying it was too soon. "Thanks!" She released Jamie to go hug Thomas. "And it is great news. I suggest drinks to celebrate!"

Thomas wrapped his arms around her, giving her a little squeeze before letting her go. "You two are going to make my face ache from smiling," he informed both of them.

"That's the risk you take being around us. I'm going to head into the bar and order something. Champagne or wine or something else?"

"Just water for me," Thomas said with a smile. "But I'll still toast with you!"

"A happy ache, though," Jamie said, pulling on his t-shirt. "And I'm cool with whatever you guys like."

"Wine for me please," she leaned up to kiss Victor before letting him go. She still couldn't stop smiling. She went to sit down besides Thomas and grinned at Jamie, "like I said it won't be for a while but you're totally my best man. It's totally in the best friend contract."

"Wine it is!" Victor shuffled off to fetch their drinks.

Thomas was glad to sit down again, though he was careful to continue smiling. He didn't want them to worry about him in the midst of all this. Besides, Kat had just said Jamie should be her best man. He squeaked a little and clapped his hands. "He will be so adorable! ...right, you're allowed to mock me for what just happened."

Jamie rolled his eyes, still grinning. "Only a little. And of course I will, KitKat. Pretty sure that's one of the first clauses in the contract. I'll get a suit and everything."

"Yeah totally going to give you shit for it, and you're going to look awesome in a suit Jamie." She was still smiling, and bounced a bit on the chair. "So ideas for rings. Something not too geeky."

"So not the one ring then?" Thomas asked with a laugh. "Do you have any favourite stones?"

Victor chose that point to return with two bottles of wine, one of white and one of red. He set them and the three goblets on the table before heading back in and returning once again with Thomas' water. "Voila, drinks!"

"I think you're one of like...three people I'd wear one for," Jamie told her. "Five, max."

"Oh, you beat me too it!" he laughed. "But fine, nothing too geeky. Let me think."

Jamie poured himself a glass of the white. He'd had some while they were in Italy, and discovered he'd rather liked it. "A toast," he said. "To Victor and Kat."

Smiling she went to hug Jamie, "and I love you for it. But I'll see. No plans yet. Might be geeky though."

She shrugged, "not diamond. I'll look online and see. I don't need something expensive, just something that means something." She took a glass and raised it. "And to two of my best friends."

Thomas raised his glass at the same time Victor did. They clinked them lightly together and Victor said, "and to my fiance."

"Don't make me cry!" Thomas warned them. He felt all happy and emotional.

"Cheers," Jamie said, sipping from his glass. He laughed then. "He'll do it, too. He's a happy crier."

The word fiancée just made her grin and she took Victor's hand. "Oh don't. I'll just start crying too. We don't need that." She leaned against Victor with a happy smile.

Thomas laughed and though he was a little choked up, he managed not to let any tears fall. He just loved everyone with him so much and they were all so happy and it was wonderful.

Victor wrapped one arm around Kat, saving the other for his wine. "Shall we drink lots of wine and relax by the pool?"

"This man has the good plans," Jamie agreed, taking the lounge chair next to his dad's. He was feeling right now that their trips had been a success, everyone was really happy and enjoying themselves.

She nodded to Jamie's comment, "he does have the greatest ideas." Smiling she leaned into Victor and set her free hand on his.

Thomas kicked back with his water, feeling like a bit of a square for not drinking, though he knew it was for the best. "If you all get drunk and decide to wrestle in the pool, I am not going in there after you."

"Drunk swimming does not sound like a good idea," Jamie piped up from his lawn chair. "Myself and I are staying right here, because with my luck, I'd crack my skull on the bottom of the pool."

"And I don't want to lose my best friend to that. That's just bad luck." grinning she sipped from her wine, "and not having a bathing suit right now would make drunk swimming a really bad idea so I think we're safe."

"You are all far wiser than I ever was under the influence," Thomas said, amazed. He would have been attempting risky diving had he allowed himself to get drunk at all these days.

Victor settled down in a chair himself and he held an arm out to bring Kat with him, perfectly content.
