IT WAS A RARE NIGHT OFF FOR HERCULES, with some annual leave time booked off and Phil needing a day or two of his own to recover it left some wiggle room for Herc to actually live a little for once. He usually used this time to catch up on movies he’d missed, or to watch some cool internet videos to be in with all the cool people... but truthfully Herc was feeling lonely. He missed his friends, he missed having a small part of normality that had been ripped from him since the attacks. For just one night he felt it was okay to let his guard down, so he took a crate of beers and bag of chips to Victor’s home, almost buzzing with excitement to see his pal. Tapping rhythmically on the door Herc stood with a grin waiting for it to open. “VICTOR!” he yelled in excitement. “Are we ready to party?” @upsetting-candles
