The naturals - one shots

Communication Seminars

Communication Seminars were always the worst.
Happily you just have to go every three years but with Tanners and my luck this year was today.

This years Seminar was also to his fun in Florida, not far away from were he grown up, so we had to stay in a rather nice motel.
„Isn't nice V?" He said and handled me a glass of wine. They always give a wine in the beginning.
Maybe that should convince us to not fake a suddenly disease or it should just help us to loosen our boundaries.

„Thanks" I took a sip and glanced over to the rest of the crowd. They all seem to know each other.
„Seems like we are they youngest today" Tanner stated and smiled at me like he was on the best birthday party ever.

„Can I have your attention please" A guy in a Hawaii Shirt stood behind a microphone on a small stage in front of us. He reminded of someone I worked with together in the beginning of my FBI Career.

„I'm so glad that you could all make it today. The first task I want everyone of you to make is to come at this stage and tell the others, why you trust your partner" Please not. Everyone beside me nodded and seemed excited.
Tanner and I just came back together as a couple a few months ago but it was still not same, like in old times and I didn't know what to say without making this akward. „And we are starting with Sterling and Briggs" I couldn't breath and I hated the feeling that everyone was starring at me.
„Come on V" Tanner grabbed my hand and pulled me on the stage.
„Can you first tell us your full name please" said the Hawaii shirt guy. And I nervously nodded. „My name is Victoria Sterling" I said. I looked at Tanner and took a deep breath. „I trust him because" I did pause, I had literally no Idea what to say because it was just always a feeling. „Because I know him since College and he accepts me how I am, without judging me and we went through so much together and always saved me" I stepped back and I just wanted to hide myself behind those extremely ugly green curtains. To my surprise Tanner just took the micro and didn't look at the crowd, he just looked at me. „The reason why I trust speacial Agent Victoria Sterling is" He took my hand I didn't know if liked in which direction this would go. „I trust you because I never loved someone more than I loved you"

A bit cringe but I wanted to try some fun awkward situation for them. Btw the seminar Idea is by an old episode of the x files.
