pls, if you would be so kind, spare me some kerry/vincent fluff. i can't stop thinking about what their first official date would've been like, whether or not it would've ended somehow in chaos or whether they would've actually gotten some real time together. like, did kerry get too excited and post their location on social media and they get swarmed by fans? did anything get blown up or burnt down? i need answers cdpr
ekekekekekekeeekeek *cat noises* SO what I really like to imagine is that
I think they’d try to keep the tradition of ‘not doing things by Night City’s book’ alive. Kerry would be curious about the Nomad concept of a romantic date and what it entails, and Vincent is like… ‘errrr we… drive around… go drink in some seedy place… and then idk watch the stars?or whatever comes up really? and get laid in the backseat if we get lucky?’ ‘SOUNDS NOVA, GIMME THAT NOMAD LOVING’. (I like to think about Kerry in disguise an unhealthy amount cause imagine him rehashing his ‘I don’t wanna hear it’ sort of look but with some needed variations and V is *heart eyes* ‘omg you’re adorable & you managed to Not look like a bank robber from the movies this time’) 
Anyway. Off to the highway they go, just driving around and chatting and * cute handholding over the shifter* *leg rubs* *’there is a light that never goes out’ playing softly but please no ten ton trucks crashing into anybody*
V. would pick some place that is halfway decent and has some scenic view for the drinks, Kerry is very excited to be out of the house and away from Night City’s eyes and is super eager to let his hair down and relax. V slipping some eddies to the bartender for silence just in case. The place is filled with cigarette smoke and the radio plays rock n roll oldies, Ker digs it, they drink the best tequila the house has to offer and play pool , they both suck dramatically at it but it doesn’t matter because it’s all about slapping each other’s ass when one is bent down on the table, really. Drinks pile up and they’re throwing caution to the wind quite a bit, and don’t realize that the place has been filling up with people. And they’re chatting all lovey-dovey at some table in a far corner quite unaware of their surroundings when V. notices there’s a crowd of people staring a bit too much and typing rabidly on their holos as they whisper things to each other and _oh no_
-Ker. Don’t turn around. I think we have a... situation -Oh fuck. They got me didn’t they? I took off the sunglasses for literally 10 SECONDS - It’s your eyes. Your beautiful perfect eyes but, ehm, anyway. They seem ready to pounce
and Kerry is all mortified because of course it would happen but V has already activated tactical boyfriend mode
- NO NO wait I have a PLAN. I’m gonna walk over and spill my drink on some poor fool and pretend to pick a fight. I’ll distract them. - V. I don’t want you to get punched in the face by a psychofan. - Just listen. When you hear me yell ‘DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS SHIT COSTS, YOU GONK’ or something, you dash to the door. Don’t stop, get to the car & I’ll be right after you. I’ll parkour on their fucking heads if needed.
And so they do. V. starts his best impression of an outraged person and Kerry is bolting it yelling ‘bye fuckers’. A psychofan grabs him on the stairs but V is right behind and the guy gets a fist in the face before he can do shit. They get in the car while Ker’s brain is 100% ‘witnessing you punch a guy for me was the nicest AND hottest thing that ever happened to me’. They speed out of the parking lot and put in fifth and there’s still cars tailing them cause these people won’t stop at nothing. They’re laughing like gonks blasting some high.speed worthy tune. Kerry is like 
‘V. do you by any chance have a grenade lying around’ ‘Ker we’re not throwing a fire grenade at them’ ‘...aw.’ ‘...a smoke grenade, on the other hand…’ (cue to an ecstatic Kerry halfway out of the window tossing a smoke bomb their way as V holds him by the jacket lest the man falls out in his bombing enthusiasm). It does the trick, they wroom into the night, take a bunch of side roads before stopping and taking a breather. Kerry is hyped.
- Best. date. ever. - Was a high speed chase nomad-y enough? - Damn right it was. By the way what was that you said about stars and y’know, backseats? :>
