Only Fools Fall in Love, Call Me a Fool
Chapter Four
A/N- Hey y'all! Nice to see you! *waves* Thank you for sticking with me on this! I am super excited about this story because of all the wonderful comments and things you guys have given me, also because I have made a few friends while writing about Dalaric and their support is worth more than they know and I also love talking to them! I hope you enjoy this chapter; there will be a lot more Dalaric in this chapter to make up for the lack of it in the last chapter! There will be other characters too, Jeremy, Tyler, Caroline, Matt and fingers crossed you will all love Elena's appearance if it turns out like I am planning! Read on my friends!
'"Aright you two, separate!" He said, grinning like a psychopath as he took Alaric by the hand and dragged him towards the car, from which the other pair had moved away from at a really fast pace in an attempt to back away from each other, Caleb's face was bright red but they both had smiles on their faces as they climbed into the back seat, when Alaric got into the passenger seat he glanced back to see that they had linked their fingers over the spare seat and he found himself wondering, with a smile on his face if he and Damon had been that sickly sweet when they first got together.'
Alaric sighed as he returned to their table and sat down beside Damon, placing a glass in front of each of them and gently kissed his lips quickly, something they had done a million times over for no reason at all. Noticing that they were alone for the first time that evening he asked,
"Where is everyone?" As he slipped a hand into the one Alaric had resting on the table Damon replied,
"Tyler and Jeremy challenged Stefan and Caleb to a game of pool" he told him with a nod of his head to the other side of the Grill, the four youngsters were stood around the table as Stefan racked up the balls, Tyler and Jeremy were leaning close, discussing tactics, the hybrid had a arm around his boyfriend's waist.
"Matt and Caroline are over by the bar." Damon continued before drinking half his glass in one gulp. Alaric leaned closer to him,
"So just the grown ups then?" he said, with a suggestive smirk on his face, Damon licked his lips,
"Why Mr Saltzman, are you suggesting what I think you are? The smirk mirrored on his face as they closed the gap between them, Alaric caught the other vampire's bottom lip between his own and kissed him hard before running his tongue along it, seeking entrance, something which Damon didn't deny him for long. They had been mapping out each others mouths for about ten minuets, an advantage of not needing to breath, their hands sliding all over each other before a shout came from over the other side of the room.
"Oi! Will you two get a room?" Stefan hollered before his brother broke off the kiss for a second to flip him the bird before returning to his previous activity.
Shaking his head with a wide grin on his face he turned back to the pool game to see Jeremy make an almost impossible shot.
"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath as he thought of their next move before Caleb stepped up, lined up the shot and made it. Stefan looked from the pocket the ball had just disappeared into to Caleb and then smiled,
"I knew I liked you for a reason!" He joked as he pulled him closer and placed a light kiss on his lips, Caleb smiled into it.
"Were we that sickening when we got together?" Tyler asked as he placed his drink back on the table closest to them and grinning.
"I think we were." Jeremy said before taking another shot then asking,
"So how did this happen?" He used the pool cue to gesture between them. Caleb and Stefan glanced at each other and then Stefan answered,
"I don't know really, it just did." He said, smiling over at Caleb and then turned back to Jeremy,
"It's not a problem?"
"With me? No, hell I like it, you seem happier, I know just how much of a bitch my sister can be, I just don't envy you when she finds out that you dumped her and then hooked up with a guy." Yeah, that was something Stefan was worried about too, not because of her but because of how her reaction could affect Caleb.
Back over at the table, Damon and Alaric had finally unglued their lips and where talking quietly,
"So, you really okay with this?" Damon asked, motioning towards the pool table where a lot of noise erupted when Tyler missed a shot.
"Yeah, like you said, at least it is someone I trust and its early days, we will see how it goes and it isn't like I can really use the vampire excuse without being a massive hypocrite." Alaric told him before he downed the last of his drink.
"Very true." Damon agreed before a smirk found it's way onto his face again, seeing it Alaric groaned,
"What now?" he asked, not knowing if he wanted to know.
"Nothing really, I was just wondering where you stood on the whole, 'having sex with your nephew under the same roof' thing?"
"Well, seeing as he is on the other side of the house and doesn't have super hearing like your brother, which you never seem bothered about whether he is in the house when we do have sex, I don't see the issue."
"Good." Damon told him before leaning in to kiss him again before four bodies threw themselves into the seats around them, Stefan and Caleb beside them with their backs to the door and Tyler and Jeremy opposite them.
"Do you two ever not have your hands all over each other?" Tyler asked, as he slid an arm around Jeremy's shoulders.
"No." Both of them replied at the same time. They talked for a while about everything under the sun, Caroline and Matt joining them when he had finished his shift behind the bar; they were all absorbed in the conversations going on the no one saw the door open behind Stefan and Caleb's shoulders.
While everyone else was distracted with their conversations Stefan turned to Caleb and brushed a strand of hair that had fallen into his eyes into his hazel eyes and found himself drawn into them, closing the gap between them until their lips touched, gentle and giving, just the way that Stefan described Caleb in his mind, they continued kissing until there was a very shrill scream behind them, Damon, Alaric, Stefan, Tyler and Caroline all cringed as their vampire hearing was unprepared for such a noise. Everyone turned, either in the chairs or away from their conversations to observe Elena stood by the door, a hand on each hip looking as if steam was about to billow out of her ears.
"What the hell Stefan? I came here tonight to give you the chance to apologize and I find you locking lips with a GUY?"
"Give me the chance to apologize?" Stefan asked, motioning to himself in disbelieve making sure she was actually talking to him, Caleb looked around at everyone,
"Elena I presume?"
"Yes I am, and who the hell are you?" She questioned the new comer, hatred burning in her eyes, how dare he have his hands and lips all over her man?
"Caleb Saltzman, nice to meet you too." At the mention of his surname her eyes found Alaric,
"Your nephew?" Without giving him a chance to reply she rounded on Stefan who had stood up to get between her and Caleb, as if he could shield him from anything she was about to come out with.
"Almost two years we were together and you failed to mention that you are a…" But before she could finish Damon was up and stood next to his brother in a flash,
"I suggest you think about what you are about to say Elena because there six gay guys here, one of which is your brother." Her eyes flicked between the two Salvatore's and then over to her own brother who's eyes were trying to tell her to drop it.
Seeing that there was nothing else she could say at the moment she screeched again and actually stamped her foot like a three year old in a mood before turning on her hell and storming out, Caroline raced after her, it was her job as best friend even if she did prefer Stefan with Caleb.
The Salvatore's made their way back to the table, sitting back down beside their boyfriends; all seven of them looked at each other before bursting out laughing. They knew they shouldn't because Elena was one of their own but the way she had been with Stefan before he ended it and her almost words just minuets before told them it was allowed.
They all got another round of drinks in each so by the time they had finished it was closing time and they were about to be thrown out so they all filed out after each other, Jeremy and Tyler catching a ride with Matt to the Gilbert house so he could pick Caroline up after she spent the last three hours with Elena. The four remaining members of the group waved as they speed out of the lot before climbing back into Damon's car and heading back to the boarding house. When they got there it was about half one in the morning so Stefan and Caleb both said they where heading to bed.
"Separate rooms!" Damon called after them as they ascended the stairs, Stefan promptly told him to bugger off.
"They better be in their own rooms." Alaric said as he poured them both a night cap. Walking by him to collect his drink and kiss the other vampire on the cheek before throwing himself onto one of the many sofas in the room.
"They will be, for now anyway." Alaric chose to ignore the last part of that and instead sat himself beside Damon and lifted an arm for him to move closer to him; resting his head on his shoulder as they both sipped their drinks.
"You don't have to worry about him Ric." Damon said, running a finger around the edge of his glass before looking at Alaric.
"Yeah I know." Deciding that his boyfriend needed distracting Damon downed the rest of his drink, placed the glass on the table in front of them and then turned until he was practically on Alaric's lap and began to mouth at his neck, turning any coherent thoughts that the blond was having into little bunches of letters than didn't make any sense. Moving up to nibble on the shell of his ear Damon whispered,
"I believe you mentioned that you didn't have any issues with sleeping with me with your nephew under the same roof, care to prove that?" Alaric shivered at Damon's words ghosting over his ear then stood up, dragging Damon with him by the front of his black shirt and pulled them both towards the stairs and to their room.
A/N – Well? What did we all think? Oh and I know that not all of them are gay, Damon, Stefan and Alaric at least are bisexual but to make things easier to write and because I really wanted to stick it to Elena I just wrote it that way. Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter is when things get real in the vampire sense. Drop me a line!
