Authors note- Red05 asked for a Harry/Alaric pairing, here you go dear!
Prompt- Drinking buddy.
He had been in Mystic falls for years now, he wanted to move on. But he couldn't, he had two teens to look after.
He and Damon had a falling out, he knew that Damon and Jeremy were dating, everyone in the town did. But he still didn't want the teen to get hurt, after all he was their guardian.
There was also the problem with Elena, she was beginning to become out of control. It seemed like everything he was doing for her wasn't good enough, that he could do better. It was her way or no way.
But still sitting at the Grill drinking his bourbon, he felt at ease until a voice spoke up
"I will have what he is having."
Alaric turned around and felt his breath hitch, the man that was sat next to him was beyond words. His skin was so white it reminded him of freshly fallen snow, his lips were so red he was reminded of the color blood. Which he had seen more times than he cared to think about.
And the eyes!
God, his eyes were like emeralds, shining in the sun. So when the man sat next to him Alaric felt his heartbeat quicken, lust coursed through his veins. But he could also see everyone else looking at the man, and felt smug that he had decided to sit next to him. Looking at the man he grunted
"Alaric."
Soft tinkling laughter echoed throughout the grill
"Harry."
The two sat there and drank bourbon together, they didn't care about the rumours that would be around town the next day. But Alaric found that he had a new drinking buddy.
