Chapter 1
"I can't take this anymore!'' Caroline suddenly whined.
''What's wrong now?'' Bonnie asked, sharing a look with Elena.
They were drinking coffee on the terrace outside the Grill, the only bar in Mystic Falls. It was a sunny day and the town seemed quite busy with citizens wandering around, or just taking a walk. Their classes were over for today so the girls decided to enjoy the warmth of the sun before the rain started. It was autumn and the leaves started to fall from the trees. According to the weather channel, this was the last sunny day this year.
''Haven't you seen them today? They are so into each other, but both too stubborn to admit it. They drive me crazy!''
''I have no idea what you're talking about.'' Bonnie said, sarcasm dripping in her tone, and Caroline send a dark look her way. ''Of course we did! We are not blind, you know?'' She added, rolling her eyes at the blonde sitting across from her.
Elena giggled before she spoke. ''Damon was sitting on Alaric's desk, whispering something that even I couldn't hear. I swear, neither of them noticed we entered the classroom, they were too busy gazing at each other.''
''Not until Stefan cleared his throat did they move.'' Bonnie giggled as well, remembering what occurred only a few hours earlier.
''Bonnie, can you do a spell or something?'' Caroline asked.
''No. I can't interfere in life like that, Caroline. They have to get there by themselves.''
''What good is it then to be a witch if you can't interfere in a friend's love life?'' Caroline huffed in annoyance. ''Just push them together, or a truth serum, or whatnot!''
''It could backfire, and then, we would have an angry Damon.'' Bonnie rolled her eyes again. ''He has finally calmed down. I, for one, prefer this Damon.''
''I still can't believe he fell in love with our teacher/vampire hunter!'' Caroline mused aloud. ''I mean, Alaric is kinda cute and handsome, if you want someone that old, but I thought he would forever be in love with Elena.''
''Elena is sitting next to you, Caroline!'' Elena rolled her eyes, sharing a look with Bonnie, who chuckled. ''And, Alaric is not old! He is, what, thirty? And Damon is twenty-seven. I think they are perfect for each other.''
''If you forget the fact that Damon is a vampire, and Alaric a vampire hunter. If, or when, they end up together, they will kill each other!'' Bonnie commented.
''Yeah. Luckily, Alaric has a ring that will bring him back.'' Elena added.
''What I wanna know is how or when did it start?'' Caroline mused. ''From the beginning, Damon had been suspicious of Alaric, then we found out he killed his wife, Elena's birth mother. Alaric even tried to kill him and failed, getting killed instead. And now, they are all but kissing! And they are driving me crazy! All they do, is gaze at each other, and throw looks when the other one isn't looking. And the way Alaric's heartbeat increases, every time Damon is near him... At first, they were cute, but now, I just want to tell them to jump on each other and get it over with!''
Elena and Bonnie waited patiently while Caroline huffed and talked. They knew it would be a mute point to interrupt their friend when she got in one of her moods. By the end of her speech, all three of them were laughing.
''Well, I think I may know when it started.'' Elena said, and leaned forward in conspiracy. ''Matt told me...it was the night we had to save Stefan from the tomb vampires, remember?'' When Bonnie and Caroline nodded, she continued. ''Well, he told me he was working that night, and they were both at the bar, drinking, when Damon turned toward Alaric and said that they made a good team. He referred to them as 'team badass', when suddenly Alaric punched him. Hard. And broke his nose. Since that day, they often drank together and, I don't know, formed a friendship of sorts. Then, there was the night Damon and Anna had been captured. Alaric saved Damon from that burning building, and even gave him his blood to recover. We didn't even know what was happening, when Damon rushed back, returning with Anna.''
''And don't forget the day Damon was dying from the werewolf bite. Alaric was with him the whole time.'' Caroline added.
''Thanks to Elijah, the sacrifice didn't happen, and now, all of us are living peacefully, in the same town.'' Bonnie said gratefully.
''You know, something must've happen that day when Damon was dying. They were acting strange for a while.'' Caroline frowned.
''They kissed.'' Elena shrugged her shoulders, shocking Bonnie and Caroline, and their jaws dropped.
''WHAT!?''
"Stefan told me, saw it with his own eyes, before he walked in with the cure.'' Elena explained.
''And what did your aunt Jenna say about that? She and Alaric were together, weren't they?'' Bonnie asked.
''She said she kinda suspected as much. She also witnessed their behavior, noticed they were drawn to each other. However, she is not sad or devastated as I thought she would be.''
''Oh? I thought she was quite smitten with Alaric.'' Caroline said, confused.
''Nope!'' Elena popped the 'p'. ''She is, in fact, in love with someone else. Someone we all know.'' She added smugly, leaning back in her seat.
''Who?'' Caroline and Bonnie asked at the same time.
''Elijah.''
''No way! Elijah?'' Bonnie asked in shock.
''Seriously?'' Caroline's eyes went wide at Elena's words. ''How haven't I noticed that? I usually notice this kind of things?'' She added, thinking aloud.
''You were focused on Damon and Alaric.'' Bonnie giggled.
''See? Another reason we have to do something! They are messing with my matchmaking radar!'' She said in annoyance.
''We'll think of something, don't worry.'' Elena tried to calm her blonde friend.
''What are you two doing tomorrow night?'' Caroline asked after a moment of silence, suddenly all perky and excited.
In an instant, Bonnie and Elena were alarmed. They looked at each other, then answered at the same time. ''Nothing?'' It sounded more like a question, than an answer.
''Excellent!'' Caroline smiled brightly, then quickly started forming plans. ''We are having a party at the Grill, then! I'll ask Matt to let us stay after closing. Elena, tell Jenna and Stefan to come. Damon and Alaric too. I'll tell Tyler. You said Jeremy and Anna are coming back, invite them too. I suppose we should also invite Elijah and the rest of the Originals.''
''Them? Why?'' Elena asked surprised.
''The more, the merrier!'' Caroline said, then got up. ''I have to go! Lot's of planning, and so little time!''
''What are you up to, Care?'' Bonnie asked suspiciously.
''You'll see! Just you wait! Tomorrow night will be the night neither Alaric nor Damon will ever forget!'' Caroline spoke cryptically, and before either Elena or Bonnie could comment, she was gone.
''Sometimes, her personality scares me.'' Bonnie shaked her head and looked at her best friend.
''You and me both, Bon. You and me both.''
/
Caroline was really busy. First, she had to talk to Matt and secure the Grill for the event. She told him what she planned, and after some major pleading, he finally accepted. Then she went to the Salvatore Boarding House. Both Stefan and Damon were there, and they were easy to persuade, since Stefan already knew Caroline was up to something that involved his brother and Alaric. Elena texted him a warning of a blonde hurricane coming their way. Damon was, at first, suspicious, but when Stefan started begging to have a nice evening, acting and lying through his teeth, barely holding back a laugh, he caved, and accepted as well. He didn't see the wink Caroline sent to Stefan.
''I'll tell Ric.'' Damon said, when Caroline told them whom she wanted to invite.
''You do that, Damon.'' Caroline smirked, and Damon narrowed his eyes at her. ''Bye!'' With that, she turned on her feet, and like the wind, she was gone from the Boarding House.
''What is she up to?'' Damon asked his brother suspiciously.
''Who knows? It's Caroline.'' Stefan shrugged his shoulders, even though he had his suspicions.
Her next stop was the Mikaelson mansion. Luckily, only Klaus was there, so she told him her plan. Klaus agreed immediately, part because he wanted to spend some time with her, and part because that would be a perfect opportunity to mess with Damon. He, as well, noticed the looks the teacher and the older Salvatore threw at each other, noticed how close they were. There was also that time he was in Alaric's body. The teacher was constantly turned on whenever Damon was near him. Let's just say, he never wanted to repeat those five days. Ever! The nights were worse. He was moaning Damon's name, dreaming how...
Klaus shook his head to get rid of the memories and gave Caroline a foolproof advice, and after hearing it, she grinned. It was perfect. Klaus promised they would be there, without telling his siblings the reason.
Tyler was out of town, so she went shopping, noticing she wasn't the only one with the same idea. She saw Rebekah, buying the green, silk, strapless dress she wanted for herself. However, Caroline had to admit, even reluctantly, it suited Rebekah much better. In the same store, Caroline, finally, after trying dozens different dresses, found the perfect one. Silk, sky blue, strapless, with a touch of lace. Both dresses would be perfect for the prom that was approaching. However, she was on a different mission today. And that was finding something to wear for tomorrow's party.
''So, Bekah, have you heard from Klaus today?'' Caroline casually asked, while they were walking through the mall.
''You DO realize we live together? I will see him later. Why?'' Rebekah asked, looking at the blonde.
''So, you don't know?''
''Know what?''
''Well, I'm throwing a party tomorrow night at the Grill, and earlier, I went to see Klaus to invite all of you.''
''You want the entire Original family at your party? Are you drunk?'' Rebekah stopped walking, in shock.
''Sure, why not? Look, all of us are living here now, and we are all friends.'' At Rebekah's raised eyebrow, she continued. ''Sort of. It will be a nice party. What do you say?''
''Fine. I'll be there. I don't know about Elijah and Kol, though.'' Rebekah sighed. ''Who will be there?''
''Well, the four of you, Stefan and Damon, Elena, Bonnie, Matt, Jeremy and Anna. And me, of course.''
''Anna?'' Rebekah asked. ''I don't think I know her.''
''She is a great girl. I'm sure you'll like her. Two years ago, when Damon was still obsessed with getting Katherine out of the tomb, Anna appeared. She wanted to open the tomb for her own reasons, getting her mother out of there. Anyway, on the Founder's day there was this whole drama going on. Long story short, Damon saved Anna when they were captured. She and her mother left town soon after, but she kept contact with Jeremy. So, last week, Jeremy went to see her, and now, they are coming back together.'' Caroline explained.
''So, basically, you are doing a couples theme?'' Rebekah smirked, after Caroline stopped talking. She knew most of the story that involved the Salvatore brothers, Katherine, and what occurred in 1864.
''What do you mean?''
''Well, let's see. Here we have Stefan and Elena. Jeremy and Anna. You and Klaus. Kol and Bonnie, since he is obsessed with her. Matt and me, sure, we are not a couple, not yet, anyway. And Damon and Alaric. The only single one will be Elijah, or will Jenna be there as well?'' She asked, knowing her older brother liked Elena's aunt.
''I don't know about Jenna, but I told Elena to invite her. However, Damon and Alaric are not together.'' Caroline pointed out.
''Hence the party, right?'' Rebekah asked, putting things together.
''They are driving me crazy!'' Caroline huffed. ''And you can work your charm on Matt!''
''Sure. See you tomorrow, then.'' Rebekah laughed.
/
On the night of the party, Matt was working, so he and Caroline rearranged the tables, so all of them could sit together, making more room for dancing, in the process. Damon and Alaric were already there, playing pool, when Stefan arrived with Elena and Bonnie. Jeremy and Anna arrived a minute later.
''Damon!'' Anna greeted him happily, nodding at Alaric, then hugged the older Salvatore. Since he saved her life, she treated him like an older brother, and Damon felt the same.
''Annabel, Jeremy. Look what the wind brought back to our little cozy town.'' Damon smiled in a welcome way, noticing how Anna rolled her eyes when he said her full name.
''Damon. Alaric.'' Jeremy greeted them fondly.
''So, what brings you kids back?'' Alaric asked.
''Well, Anna will enroll in the school again until we graduate, So, she will be your new student.'' Jeremy answered, and Damon snorted at his words.
''Back in school? Yuck! Why, Annabel? You know more than all teachers combined! No offence, Ric!'' He said to his friend who rolled his eyes. ''You and I could have so much fun while these kids are in school, learning things they would never need.''
Before Anna could answer, Stefan arrived with Bonnie and Elena, who smirked.
''Well, for someone who doesn't like school, you are often there. I wonder why?''
''My brother, lost for words!'' Stefan laughed. ''I'm definitively writing this down in my journal!'' He didn't miss the startled look on Alaric's face, and judging by the smirks around him, neither did anyone else.
''What will you drink, Annabel?'' Damon asked, changing the topic, and pointedly ignoring his brother, who was now smiling brightly.
''Vodka-tonic, for starters.'' Anna answered.
''Welcome home.'' Damon said gently, raising his glass in salute, when Matt and Caroline brought the drinks. ''Keep it coming, Matt.'' He added.
Anna was touched by his gesture, and she felt Jeremy squeezing her hand in support. Those words had a double meaning, everyone knew that. She returned to the town she grew up in, and she was welcomed in their lives. Her home was this town, and these people around her. The rest, who were standing around, were shocked hearing that. Damon rarely showed he cared, he was rarely this open...
''Thank you. Thank you all.'' Anna smiled, blinking back tears.
''Okay, enough of this mushy stuff! Let's dance!'' Caroline said, dragging Bonnie to the podium, then yelled. ''Matt, hit the music!''
Soon, the podium was full of people, dancing, including Damon and Alaric. Even though it seemed they didn't dance together, they were pretty close to one another. Sometimes, their hips touched and they brushed against each other. Damon was definitively flirting, that was obvious to everyone. Sometimes, it even seemed they would kiss, but Damon would back off in the last second. Caroline, who was watching them, groaned in frustration. Suddenly, she felt arms around her waist, and she was twirled around, meeting a smile that caused her heart to beet faster.
''Klaus.'' She breathed.
''Beautiful as always.'' He whispered in her ear. ''Let's dance.''
And they did. Since the music was loud, they could talk without fear someone could hear. Klaus told her he arrived alone, and that the rest of his siblings would come later. They talked about what they were about to do, and Caroline was a bit worried, but Klaus assured her it would be alright.
Three hours later, they were all sitting around the table, recuperating the strength for the next round. Stefan had his arm over Elena's shoulder, next to them were Anna and Jeremy, Damon sat across Alaric and Bonnie, and Caroline and Matt on the end, since he technically worked. He was the closest to the bar, having a quick access, so he could serve the customers. Caroline noticed the second Rebekah, Elijah and Kol entered the Grill, and she smirked seeing how her blonde friend went straight to the bar, Elijah following her. Matt got up and went to serve them, then started talking with the blonde Original. They were all pretty drunk, especially Damon, courtesy of Caroline who refilled his glass every once and a while.
Klaus watched from his hiding spot, discreetly of course, holding back a smile, but Kol, who arrived with Rebekah and Elijah, saw the traitorous twitch on Klaus's lips, and knowing his brother, knew he was up to something.
''What are you up to, Klaus?'' Kol asked, as he stood next to his older brother.
''I have no idea what you mean.'' Klaus answered, not even looking at him. ''You're drunk already? Tsk, tsk.'' He added disapprovingly.
''Are you forgetting the fact that I KNOW you, brother? I know you have something planned, and if it is a prank, I want in.'' When Klaus merely raised an eyebrow at him, he continued. ''I've been here for over an hour. I've noticed you whispering something with Caroline and how she is trying to get Salvatore drunk. Now, since I know you're quite smitten with her, that raised a red flag. And there is also the suspicious fact, she invited ALL of us to her party. Even Elijah, the only one of us who didn't get the fun gene.''
''You have too much time on your hands.'' Klaus commented, shaking his head, but he was very surprised and proud, how his brother managed to caught all that.
''Klaus, what ever it is, I want in.'' Kol warned. ''I'm bored.''
''I'll think about it, okay?'' Klaus sighed.
And he did. Kol, when bored, could mean trouble for their lives here. And that was something he didn't want. On the other hand, Kol could help with his plan. Of all his siblings, Kol was similar to him. They shared the same devious mind. Making a decision, he signaled his brother.
''Fine, you're in. Follow my lead and listen to the conversation at that table.'' Klaus whispered, pointing at the table where Caroline and everyone else were sitting. Then he signaled her, and she nodded.
''Damon? Truth or dare?'' Caroline suddenly asked, after receiving a signal from Klaus.
She was worried how this night would end. Messing with an Original was not smart, but she trusted Klaus, otherwise she would've never suggested what she said next. She was also bored, drunk, and wanting to do something fun, especially if it would push Damon and Alaric closer. And also, something was telling her, that the plan would work. Call it a hunch or whatever, she always listened to that feeling.
''Dare, duh! Truth is overrated, and who knows what you'll ask to reveal.'' Damon slurred.
''I knew you would say that!'' Caroline grinned. ''I have a perfect one for you, lover boy!''
''Oh? Should I do a strip here?'' Damon wiggled his eyes, his head spinning.
''No. Better. That one could be for someone else, though. However, I want your word, in front of all of us, you won't back down?'' She warned, ignoring the looks from Elena and Bonnie.
He should've known she was up to something, and if he wasn't drunk as he was, he would've definitively thought it through, but as it happened, that was not the case, and he agreed.
''Ok, Damon. The dare is that you go over there, to Elijah, and French him, for full five minutes. And make it a good one!''
''WHAT?!'' Everyone at the table looked at Caroline in shock, and Damon's eyes went wide.
They weren't the only ones. Kol's jaw, hearing the dare, dropped, and he looked at the smirking face of his brother.
''I bow to your brilliance, brother.'' He said, after a second, then they continued listening to the conversation.
''Excuse me? You want me to do what?'' Damon finally asked.
''You heard me! And you gave your word.'' Caroline smiled brightly.
''Do you want me get killed? He is an Original, for God's sake!'' Damon asked, stunned.
''Don't tell me that the big bad boy, Damon Salvatore, is afraid of my brother?'' A voice spoke behind, causing all of them to turn and look up to the source.
''Klaus, Kol.'' Stefan greeted them. ''This is not your business.''
Even though he knew Caroline invited them, and wanted for all of them to have a great time together, Klaus, Kol and Damon in the same room was a recipe for disaster. He was still processing the fact Caroline wanted Damon to kiss Elijah. He couldn't understand how would that help their cause to push his brother and Alaric to one another. From the corner of his eye, he saw Alaric throwing dark glares at Caroline, Damon, and even Elijah. Then it hit him! The jealousy card! He had to bite his tongue to prevent the sudden laughter that almost escaped. However, Caroline's dare could backfire. Elijah could easily kill Damon, and that wasn't something he wanted. Not now when they just started to get along.
''On the contrary, mate! You see, I, as it happens, want to see my brother loose, and Miss Forbes just made a perfect opportunity for that to happen. Besides, if Damon ends up hurt, that will be a bonus.'' Klaus smirked.
''Chicken, Salvatore?'' Kol quipped, looking at Damon, who gritted his teeth.
NO ONE could call him a chicken and live through to tell it. Unfortunately, Kol was older and stronger than he was, so he couldn't do anything to the little bastard who was pushing his buttons. He stood up, and after sending an apologizing look to Alaric, who was watching him openmouthed, still in shock, Damon proceeded walking toward Elijah. He gulped, as he sat down on a stool next to the Original vampire.
/
Elijah was having a pleasant evening with his siblings. He was surprised when he got home, seeing all of them waiting for him, and especially, when Klaus and Rebekah informed him, he was invited to a party Caroline Forbes was throwing at the Grill. He was slightly disappointed Jenna couldn't come, but she had to stay at her campus, since she had an exam early the next day. He liked her, a lot. She knew how to have fun, but she was also smart and gentle. She was also a good kisser. Her enthusiasm and curiosity about his life was also charming, and from time to time, he found himself, telling her things, no one, not even his siblings, knew. And she didn't judge him. She accepted him as he was. A man, and a vampire.
Even though he was deep in his thoughts, he was well aware what was going on around him. He came here with Kol and Rebekah, since Klaus decided to go alone and before them. After a while, Kol got lost in the crowd, and he was left with his sister, who was shamelessly flirting with the bartender and Elena's friend, Matt. He was trying very hard not to laugh, since the human send him worried glances, from time to time. It was obvious his sister liked this human, and he wasn't going to interfere. They were finally forming a quiet, and pleasant, life here, and it felt good.
Looking around the bar, he spotted his two brothers standing by the table where a familiar group was sitting. He could clearly see that Klaus, Kol and Caroline were smiling, while the rest of them were, for some reason, shocked. And that meant trouble. He was just planning to walk over there and investigate what was going on, when suddenly, the older Salvatore sat beside him. Immediately, he noticed Damon was drunk and nervous, and he raised his perfectly shaped eyebrow at the young vampire. Klaus and the rest of the group were just in his eyesight, and he could tell they were watching them and smirking. Knowing he would find the reason soon enough, he spoke.
''What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?'' He asked politely.
''Please don't kill me.'' Damon said, nervously looking at him.
''Why would I...?'' Elijah started to ask, but was stopped when Damon leaned toward him and pressed his lips on his.
The kiss started as a gentle one, with Damon, slowly exploring Elijah's lips, but soon, it turned into a heated one. Elijah opened his mouth, part in shock, part in want, giving Damon the opportunity to push his tongue inside. Theirs tongues fought for domination, and Elijah found himself getting aroused. He had to admit, for a young vampire, Damon was a very skilled kisser. In his life, Elijah had dozens male lovers, but not one of them could get him aroused by a simple kiss.
Their bodies moved toward each other at the same time, wanting to feel body against body. Elijah grabbed Damon by his waist, pulling him closer. Their aroused members rubbed against each other, increasing the mutual need that both of them felt. The need to continue, to explore, to rip their clothes off...
In the back of his mind, Elijah was aware how the whole bar quieted, there was a sound of a broken glass nearby. The thought that his siblings were watching them, the thought of Jenna, crossed his mind, but he didn't care. The only thing that mattered was the mouth he was devouring in this moment. He wanted Damon. He wanted him badly.
/
'I'm dead. I'm sooooo dead!' Damon thought, while he walked toward the Original vampire, sitting at the bar. He was so nervous about what he was about to do, and he could tell Elijah knew when he raised an eyebrow at him.
''What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?'' He heard Elijah asking him politely, and he was surprised to feel tingles simply by hearing his voice. 'I'm drunk. That must be the reason.' He thought.
''Please don't kill me.'' He answered nervously, his voice shaking.
''Why would I...'' Elijah started to ask, but Damon pressed his lips on the Original vampire before he could finish the question.
If there was one thing he was good at, it was how to kiss and seduce. He started gently, slowly brushing his lips against Elijah's, then licked them with his tongue. Kissing men wasn't any different from kissing women. The same rules applied. Start slowly, then increase the pressure, deepening the kiss.
In his life, Damon had three male lovers, in total, and been kissed by four. The fourth one was Alaric. The only man he felt something deeper than simple attraction. He fell in love with him. He asked Alaric to kiss him, on his deathbed, wanting that to be his last memory before he died. After Stefan brought the cure, at first, things between them were a bit awkward, neither of them knowing where they stood, but their friendship stayed intact. However, Damon wanted more. He needed more. He wanted to explore the possibility of them together. And he was certain Ric felt the same. They were dancing around each other for months, getting closer by the day, throwing looks at one another... Damon could hear Ric's heartbeat going faster when he would lean and whisper something into his ear, he could smell the arousal, but at the same time, they were both scared of the outcome. And now, he was kissing Elijah.
Damon deepened the kiss when Elijah opened his mouth, and their tongues twirled together. For a second, he was startled when Elijah started kissing him back, and pulled him closer to himself. He could feel Elijah was aroused as him, sensing it, as they rubbed against each other.
Somewhere, in the distance, he heard a glass breaking, and a sudden silence in a crowded bar. He knew he shouldn't be doing this, especially wanting this, and that Alaric, the man he loved, was watching, but he couldn't help it. He wanted Elijah. He wanted to rip his tailor-made suit and bury himself deep inside him.
All too soon, reality came crashing down, and they broke the kiss, moving away from each other at the same time. Noticing his hands were still laying on Elijah's shoulders, Damon quickly lowered them down, and taking advantage of the fact Elijah was still stunned by the kiss, he returned toward the table, where everyone, but Alaric, who was throwing daggers at him, were wide-eyed and shell shocked.
/
Rebekah was sitting at the bar, not far from her brother, and using her charms to seduce Matt. It was working, because he was smiling and, as far as she could see and tell, he was totally into her. It was actually adorable seeing him throwing worried glances at her brother, whenever she would touch him, or got closer to him, but she knew Elijah wouldn't do anything to Matt.
While talking to Matt, she noticed her other two brothers, Klaus and Kol, approaching the table where, the Salvatore brothers and the rest of the gang were sitting, and she could clearly see they were already drunk. She couldn't quite hear what they were talking about, but the next moment, Klaus, Kol and Caroline were smiling, while the rest of them were shocked, and Alaric angry. Knowing it had something to do with Caroline's plan to get Damon and Alaric together, she waited.
Not a minute later, she saw Damon sitting beside Elijah, and she was able to hear their short conversation. Before she could even understand why would Damon ask Elijah not to kill him, she saw them kissing. She couldn't believe it! Damon was kissing Elijah! In a crowded bar, in front of everyone! In front of Alaric! She blinked, then looked at Mat, to see if he was seeing it too. He did. The glass he was holding went crashing on the floor. But, what shocked her the most, was, that her brother was kissing Damon back! In addition, being so close to them, she could also smell their arousal.
The kiss ended, and she saw Damon walking away. She looked at Elijah, and he was, as far as she could tell, still under the influence of what just happened.
''What the hell? Did you see...'' Matt's voice brought her back.
''I sure did.'' She mumbled.
/
"That was...HOT!'' Caroline said, finally able to speak, after witnessing Damon and Elijah kissing. Klaus send her a look and she shrugged her shoulders. ''What? I say what I think.''
Damon didn't say a word, he just returned to his seat, and after drinking the Bourbon he left behind, he looked at Alaric, and gulped. Because, Alaric was mad. His lips were formed in a thin line, eyes blazing at Damon, jaw set in stone, and arms crossed over his chest.
''Ric...'' Damon started cockily, wanting to turn the uncomfortable silence and the whole situation into a joke, but Alaric cut him off.
''Not even a word, Salvatore! I don't want to hear it.''
''But...'' Damon tried again, but with no success.
''Not a word, Damon!'' Alaric hissed through his teeth.
''Would someone care to explain why Damon just kissed me?'' Elijah asked, arriving to their table, Rebekah and Matt quickly following behind. ''Judging by your smirk, Klaus, I gather it has something with you.'' He added, narrowing his eyes at his brother.
''Well...you see...um...'' Caroline started, but Klaus interrupted her.
''I dared Damon to do that.''
Elijah didn't miss the grateful look Caroline send to Klaus, and how everyone at the table seemed surprised at his words. He also noticed how angry the teacher was, for a reason he didn't know. He was glaring at Damon, and him. And Damon suddenly got very uncomfortable when he arrived and stood close to the young vampire. 'So, he is also affected by the kiss. Interesting.' He thought.
''I must say, I was surprised.'' Kol smirked. ''I didn't think you had it in you, big brother.''
''A dare, you say?'' Elijah asked, ignoring Kol. ''Can I play too?''
''Sure. Why not?'' Klaus answered casually, but worried inside.
''Excellent!'' Elijah smiled sweetly. ''You two are grounded for a month in the basement, with no cell phones, no entertainment, no nothing. In addition, on a limited animal blood. How does that sound?''
''And if we refuse?'' Kol asked, looking at his brother in shock. He would go crazy with nothing to do for a whole month, and his brother knew that.
''You'll do it the easy way or the hard way. Your choice. Either way, it will happen, so don't even think of escaping, Kol.'' Elijah warned, and Kol gulped. ''I would suggest you enjoy this night, because it will be your last. At least for a month. The dare starts tomorrow. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go home.'' He said, looking at everyone at the table, but his eyes lingered for a few seconds longer on the black haired vampire, who blushed when their eyes met.
''Have something to take care of?''
Sometimes, Kol's mouth worked faster than his brain, and besides, he loved tormenting his older brothers, especially Elijah. He paid no mind to Klaus, who hit him with his elbow, or the choking sounds around him.
''Excuse me?'' Elijah slowly turned around, and looked straight at the smirking face of his youngest sibling.
''What do modern people call it nowadays?'' Kol continued, musing aloud, placing his finger on his chin as if he was thinking. ''Oh yeah, now I remember. Shake the snake? Pump the python? Yank the crank?''
''Kol, for heaven's sake, shut the hell up!'' Rebekah spoke, looking between her two brothers nervously.
''I would suggest you listen to our sister, Kol.'' Elijah warned, but Kol was having too much fun to stop now. If he was going to be grounded, he might as well make it worth it.
Elijah knew very well what his brother tried to accomplish, but he would be damned if he succeeded. However, everyone could see Kol was pushing his buttons as his lips formed into a thin line, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. Not the mention the vein on his forehead that suddenly appeared.
''Oh, come on, OLD brother!'' Kol rolled his eyes. ''We all saw it! It's no shame if you admit you were, and if I may add, still are, turned on, and that you need to rush home and take care of that little problem of yours! I'm sure Salvatore will love to come and finish what he started, right champ?'' He smirked at Damon, who, only because Stefan was holding him, didn't lounge at him, then he looked back at his brother. ''That was one hell of a kiss! For an old man, you really know how to do it properly. I was actually surprised seeing you loosen up. You are way too serious! Live a little! Otherwise, you'll end up like Stefan here, all brooding!''
''We certainly don't want that. One brooding vampire is more than enough.'' Damon mumbled to himself, not realizing he spoke aloud, and earned a sharp glare from Stefan and Elijah.
Klaus and Kol laughed, while the rest were too shocked to speak or do anything. Alaric kept glaring at Damon, certain Kol was right. Damon wanted to go with Elijah and fuck him. And, after he saw those extra seconds when the Original vampire looked at Damon, an obvious invitation, Elijah wanted it too.
''What do you say we move this party to our home? We can make it an adult one. We have rooms enough.'' Kol suggested, winking at his brother, Damon, and finally, at Bonnie, who narrowed her eyes at him.
''You do realize I'm a witch, don't you?''
''Oh, come on, witchy! Live a little! Life is short, take the best of what's offering. Carpe diem! I promise, I won't bite!'' Kol said, then lowered his voice seductively. ''Unless if you want me to.''
Before anyone could answer, Alaric suddenly spoke, sarcasm visible in his tone, and never moving his glare from Damon. ''Sure, why not! I'm sure our lover boy will looooove to continue what he started.''
''Ric, please, don't do this.'' Damon sighed.
''Am I missing something?'' Kol frowned, looking between Damon and Alaric, and then laughed, when he figured it out.
He wasn't the only one. Elijah now understood why the teacher was angry and glaring at him and Damon the whole time. And Damon obviously felt something for the teacher, more than friendship. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so guilty. However, he knew those two were friends, not lovers, and certainly not a couple. His brain started working, putting the pieces together. 'Damon and Alaric aren't together but they have feelings for each other. Everyone here must've known about it. The party. Caroline could've invited only Klaus and Rebekah, but she invited all of us. Klaus and Caroline working together. The dare. Klaus covering for Caroline. To what purpose? They certainly didn't expect I would respond to the kiss, so it wasn't about me. It was about Damon and... Alaric! The teacher glared at me and Damon. Was he jealous? The jealousy card! A foolproof plan to bring two people together! And Klaus only wanted to pull a prank on me, and probably mess with Damon. Kol, being Kol, decided to join in!' Sensing someone was watching him, Elijah looked toward the source. Klaus. Then he felt his phone vibrating.
I know you've figured it out. I'm the one who suggested you, don't blame Caroline. And Kol is just trying to piss you off. Don't give him the pleasure.
Elijah typed back. Oh, I DO know what he is trying to do, don't worry. I will deal with him some day, when he least expects it. I'm not upset or anything, so ease up. I'm curious, though. When did that happen?
For quite some time, apparently. They are all fed up with them. Hence, tonight. Thank you, brother.
They stopped communicating via text messages, just in time to hear Kol's whine, and Klaus rolled his eyes, sharing a look with his other brother. 'This will be a long night.' Elijah thought.
''Oh, come on!'' Kol whined. ''We have enough alcohol, music, everything we need for a good party! Please come.''
Knowing Kol would pester until everyone agreed, Elijah sighed. ''Please, come. Or he won't stop.''
Eventually, everyone, in their drunken state, agreed, and soon, they found themselves at the Mikaelson mansion.
AN/ This was supposed to be a one-shot, but it grew larger than I intended in the beginning. Elijah is to blame, you will see why I'm saying that. Since the story is completed, I will post both chapters today. Enjoy and please review.
