Mikaelson Mansion

Tyler groaned as soon as he opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor once again. As he looked around, he noticed that he wasn't in the Lockwood cellar anymore, but in a house which he knew well. He had been hoping that everything with Klaus to be a dream, but it wasn't. The last thing he remembered was someone snapping his neck when he tried to run out of there. Opening the gate had been fairly easy, but he had no idea that there were at least five hybrids surrounding the place. Even though Klaus had warned him, but he had been desperate to see his mother.

"I see you're awake, mate!" He heard Klaus's voice who was standing at door and said, "I don't recall giving you permission to leave the cellar. So much for that sire bond."

Tyler stared back unwaveringly and sneered back, "I'm not your little bitch anymore."

Klaus merely smiled, ignoring him and asked instead, "Are you ready to tell me what have you been planning?"

Tyler glared, but said with a snort, "You can go to hell!"

Klaus shook his head disappointed, but said seriously, "You should be thankful that I took your pain away. Made you better. Turns out you're quite a disappointment."

"Guess I'm just another one of your failures, huh? Like how you've failed with every other thing – your family… and your own kid." Tyler taunted. "She's a freak of nature!"

Klaus roared as he pushed Tyler to the wall, hand tightening on his neck, eyes blazing with fury.

"You're going to die soon even if you kill me." Tyler chocked out through clenched teeth as he tried unsuccessfully to push the original away.

"I'm going to end your tedious life; however short it might've been." Klaus growled as he pushed his hand inside Tyler's chest and held his heart.

Tyler's eyes rolled at the back of his head with pain and he felt like all breath had left him, but he opened his eyes and gritted out, "Go on. Kill me! That's the only thing you can do. You'll be dead soon."

"You know I cannot be killed. Not in a thousand lifetimes. I'll kill everyone you've ever known – the pack of wolves, your witch, your girl and your mother." Klaus snarled with a humourless smile and tightened his fingers holding Tyler's heart, squeezing it just a bit so the hybrid would know his place and continued, "You can never defeat me, but sadly you're consumed by revenge, forgetting the fact that I gave your meaningless life a purpose. You want me to end your suffering, don't you?

Tyler heard every word, but the pain was too much and there wasn't enough breath left for him to reply. He could only listen to the maniac hoping for death.

Suddenly, Klaus smiled and muttered thoughtfully, "It would certainly make everything easy. Death gives more peace than you deserve… after all I did for you. I took away your suffering, but you have no regards. I'm going to let you live, but I'll take the gift I gave you when I turned you into a beast and it will be as painful as the first time."

Then he looked into Tyler's eyes and compelled him. "Every morning you'll wake up knowing that you're responsible for your pain and wretched existence. You'll remember the gift I gave you by each pathetic breath you take… and live the rest of your days knowing that you're responsible for every single person that dies."

Klaus pulled his hand back and Tyler gasped loudly with relief and gulped lungful of air when his neck was released from the tight grip. But Klaus wasn't finished and added, "You will no longer be able to control yourself, for every month you will turn into a monster."

Klaus pulled back with a satisfied smirk and Tyler looked at him with disdain, eyes filling with tears rapidly.

Salvatore Boarding House

Athena groaned as she craned her neck sleepily before blinking her eyes blearily. It took her a couple of seconds to register that she was sprawled on Damon, who had his arms folded behind his head and was smirking at her.

"Rise and shine, sunshine!" He sang and her eyes widened as she rolled away from him, tangling further in the comforter and fell down with a loud shriek.

"Oww…!" She murmured as soon as she hit the floor. "What the hell…?"

"I know you were dreaming about me." He said smugly before motioning towards his jeans, "Explains the drool."

She looked at his jeans and to her horror, she indeed had drooled on him and she groaned. He looked down at her while she tucked her face away from him embarrassed, to hide the red colour that she knew was increasing steadily.

"Are you alright?" She heard Stefan's voice from somewhere nearly and barely resisted the urge to crawl under the sofa. What had she been thinking last night? Nothing! That's what! Or else she wouldn't be here in the first place. The reason she came here was to make Damon understand that she didn't hate him. And what else could've perfect when she couldn't speak, and she thought her being there would be enough. What she hadn't taken into account was falling asleep. She was hoping for the earth to open and swallow her, but of course that wasn't going to happen.

"Just… brilliant!" She mumbled and burrowed deeper in the comforter for courage and took a deep breath before standing up.

"You know…" Damon said, waggling his eyebrows salaciously. "…when I imagined you without clothes, I thought we would both be equally naked. It's more fun that way."

Athena blushed harder at the innuendo, but her eyes narrowed when he smiled at her innocently. Suddenly, she smirked, waving her hand in a circular motion and a huge jet of cold water hit Damon with full force. Stefan stared aghast before he started laughing, while Damon gasped still in shock over the turn of events. The spray of water didn't stop until he was fully drenched and dripping from head to toe.

"Did you just…?" He was still gaping as he stared at her. Of all the possible outcomes, which were quite a lot, this was something he had never expected. She was looking downright adorable wrapped in a comforter from head to toe, but was looking too smug for his liking. So, he smirked while his eyes danced with mirth and added, "You just had to say the word if you wanted to see me wet and naked. There was no need for all of this."

Stefan shook his head at Damon, who was busy undoing the buttons of his shirt while keeping eye contact with Athena. Damon dropped his shirt and she gaped at him, and more flustered than anyone had ever seen her.

"You're always welcome to stay for the show." He told her huskily as he undid the button of his jeans with a loud snap.

It was enough to bring her out of her trance and she yelped loudly. "Oh My God!" Before she snapped her eyes shut and turned around. She couldn't very well apparate, and on top of that, she had no doubt there would be her family and she wanted to avoid the awkward and uncomfortable conversation. Thank you very much. She practically sprinted towards Stefan's room, knowing she would find something to wear and apparate back without further confrontation.

Stefan stared at his brother bemused who just shrugged, but didn't miss Damon's smile and rolled his eyes before adding sarcastically, "That was really mature."

"What can I say, Stef! No one can resist me." Damon winked for good measure and was about to go to his room when they heard a loud 'THUD' and then a muffled, "I'm alright!"

They shared a look and Damon shrugged, smirking all the way to his room.

Athena came out of Stefan's bathroom with the clothes which were way too large on her, but she was just happy to be clothed when she came face to face with a rather angry vampire and said confused, "Hello."

"Where is Tyler?" Caroline asked through clenched teeth.

Understanding dawned on Athena and shifted uncomfortably. She had forgotten about the hybrid and whispered, "He was at the Lockwood Cellar last night."

"He's not there anymore!" Caroline yelled as she blurred towards Athena angrily, who winced and took a step back and said placatingly, "I don't know where he is! In case you missed it, I wasn't in a position to take care of anyone else."

Caroline took another step closer and said warningly, her patience wearing thin. "How could you not know it? Klaus is your dad!"

Athena stared at the vampire, but before she could respond, her view was obscured and she found Damon standing between the two. He looked at Caroline and said softly, "Alright! Why don't you take a deep breath and back up?" But his tone and his tense stance made it clear that he was ready for a fight.

"Caroline?" Stefan muttered, but the two vampires stayed where they were, glaring at each other.

"Klaus kidnapped Elena, Bonnie and Tyler yesterday. Elena is in the hospital and Tyler is missing!" Caroline almost growled, eyes staring angrily at Athena, who was now standing beside Damon.

"What?" Damon asked incredulously while Stefan sighed tiredly before looking at Athena pleadingly. If Klaus had Tyler, then there was no one apart from her who would be able to help them.

"What happened?" Stefan quired, genuinely concerned. He couldn't let her die just because he wasn't in love with her anymore.

Caroline looked at the three and stated, "He almost drained her! She could've died!"

Stefan moved closer to her and asked, "Is she alright?"

"She's still in the hospital. Bonnie's with her." She told him stonily all the while glaring at Athena, who winced and whispered, "I'm really sorry about Elena."

There was a beat of silence where no one spoke, not knowing how to proceed from here while the brothers shared a glance. They knew they had to fight Athena if it came to her family and neither was willing to get on her bad side. Not when she always somehow managed to control the situation or moreover, she was the only one Klaus seemed to listen. They weren't sure what to do, nor did they know what had Tyler done to provoke his ire, but they mutually agreed that they would have to do something if 'papa hybrid' did something.

"If your dad", Caroline practically spat the word, making Athena flinch, "did anything to hurt my friends… I'll find a way to kill that psychopathic monster!" she finished with a snarl.

Athena's eyes hardened and she took a step closer to the vampire and said slowly, "My father might be a psychopath, but don't forget that you're alive because of him. He has forgiven you again and again when he could've easily killed you. I apologise that Elena got hurt because of him, but Tyler certainly isn't the victim here. He was planning to kill my family and I'm not gonna stop my dad from doing whatever he decides." Her deadly calm voice sent chills down their spines and they shuddered involuntarily.

She turned to leave but stopped before looking straight at Caroline and threatened, "One more thing… If you or any of your merry gang even think of harming my family… you'll have more than the originals to deal with."

With that she apparated with a loud crack, leaving three vampires staring at the empty space where she had been.

Mikaelson Mansion

Athena apparated home and eyed her family with narrow eyes. Rebekah and Kol were bickering as usual while Elijah was sitting on the couch staring at Klaus, who was pacing furiously. Their gazes snapped to hers and they all stopped short, practically gawking at her.

"Is this the walk of shame?" Kol asked rather loudly and too cheerily for her taste before winking at her. He blurred towards her and crushed her to his chest into a bone crushing hug. "I'm proud of you!"

Athena felt colour rising to her cheeks, much to her horror as she pushed him away and stared at everyone. Rebekah and Elijah had their eyebrows raised expectantly, Klaus was redder than she was feeling at the moment as he glared at her with his jaw clenched, and she didn't need to look at Kol to know that he was smirking. Probably apparating here wasn't her best idea as she gulped, staring at her dad and stuttered, "I-It's not… I'm n-not…"

"Don't get your pants in a twist Nik!" Kol almost sang as he ruffled her hair and added, "I was joking! She doesn't have any additional smell."

It took a moment for Athena to understand the meaning behind his words and she barely resisted the urge to curse him. He wasn't hugging her! He had been trying to figure out if she had any… 'additional smell'!

"You were smelling me?" she asked through gritted teeth and Kol merely rolled his eyes as if to gesture 'duh'!

How dare he? She was of age and was allowed to do whatever she pleased! Was this how they would behave when she actually had sex? This was just wonderful! She could just say goodbye to her sex life, which was non-existent to begin with! They would torture and kill the poor guy… whoever it might be! And suddenly an image of Damon popped into her head at the thought of her sex life. She blinked when she heard Kol snapping his fingers in front of her face and she flushed even more.

Rebekah and Elijah were staring at her suspiciously, like they knew what exactly she had been dreaming about. Kol looked too mischievous, while Klaus shook his head before taking a seat in front of the fireplace.

Athena cleared her throat unnecessarily and asked, "So, what's happening?" Happy to steer the conversation away from herself.

"Tyler is planning something and I'm going to find out what, even if I had to kill every person he had ever loved!" Klaus said slowly and Athena's eyes widened when she saw his siblings rolling their eyes, but not saying a word.

They heard a voice and their heads snapped simultaneously towards the door, where two of the hybrids were holding Mrs. Lockwood, who looked afraid and ready to cry.

She looked at everyone before her eyes settled on Klaus and she asked shakily, "Klaus? What am I doing here?"

Klaus smiled as he stood up and said, "Ah! Carol! We've been waiting for you!"

No one said a word, like kidnapping someone was a common occurrence, but Athena's eyes widened and she gaped. He had kidnapped the Mayor because he wanted to know something from her son.

"Dad…" She started, but was stopped when Klaus glanced at her sharply, halting her and stated, "I meant what I said and I won't change my mind because someone doesn't like it. Not when it comes to the safety of my family!" He almost shouted and she flinched back, staring at him wide eyed. His eyes were boring into hers and his tone left no room for argument. He looked away from her and left the room along with Elijah and Kol, his hybrids followed him, almost dragging Mrs. Lockwood behind.

Athena was rooted on stop, but soon followed them down to the basement in time to see Tyler, who stared at his mother horrified, dread filling inside and asked, "Mom? What're you doing here?"

Carol rushed to her son as soon as she was released and whispered, "Honey… What's happening?"

Klaus looked into Tyler's eyes and grinned. "I thought you needed some motivation. Who better than mommy here?"

"YOU BASTARD!" Tyler screamed as he shifted in front of his mom, pushing her behind him.

"I warned you what will happen if you didn't cooperate. You should've listened." Klaus shrugged undeterred. "It's going to be your mother today. And tomorrow… it will be your child."

Tyler stilled along with everyone else and breathed, "What?"

"Oh! Did I forget to mention? The girl… What was her name?" Klaus pretended to think for a second before exclaiming gleefully, "Hayley! Didn't she tell you? She's with child… and its yours."

He moved closer to Tyler and whispered in his ear, "I promised that you'll live the rest of your days knowing that you're responsible for every single person that dies. Even if it's the girl you love."

"Of course, you can tell me everything you've been planning to kill me and my family and I might let them live. You on the other hand…" Klaus left the rest unsaid as he took a step back. "Tick tock, mate. Clock's ticking! I don't have all day."

Tyler looked ready to burst just like his mother, with anger or tears, Athena wasn't sure. She stared from her father to her uncles, who were standing beside his brother calmly. In this moment, Rebekah's words rang in her ears. Family remains together, Always and Forever.' Even though it had been months, but they were loud and clear. Her father was still giving Tyler a chance, even though he knew that the wolf had been planning to kill him and his entire family. He could've killed his mom and the girl without remorse and probably still would, if Tyler didn't deter, but he was willing to let his family live. Sudden understanding dawned on her that he will kill everyone Tyler loved, even if its an unborn baby to keep his family safe. The first time in her life, Athena wasn't sure what to feel or who to support. In no way, she wanted anyone dead, even Tyler, but he had been planning to kill her family. What did that say about him? Her dad hadn't actually done anything or harmed anyone for Tyler to plan his murder, but here he was, still giving him a chance. He may be a ruthless murder, but her dad wasn't the monster people believed.

She took a step forward and whispered, "Dad…"

All eyes snapped towards her and Klaus screamed, "LEAVE!"

Her heart hammered in her chest, but she stayed where she was and said, "I can help!"

He took a step closer to her, eyes flashed yellow and he shouted again, "I SAID LEAVE!"

She felt Kol going rigid right beside her, while Elijah said warningly, "Niklaus!"

"I can show you every single memory and conversation he has stored in his mind! He won't be able to hide anything and you'll have all the information you need! You don't have to threaten anyone and I can even erase everything from his mind afterwards! Or we can give him veritaserum. It's a truth potion that forces the drinker to answer any questions put to them truthfully, if asked correctly. But I don't have it right now. Hermione might have it. I can ask her if you want?" Athena ranted hastily, knowing that this was her only chance, because she knew that he would kill God knows how many people! And she didn't want that! Not when she could do something about it.

"What?!" Tyler whispered aghast.

While Elijah looked intrigued and asked, "You can do that? See all his memories?"

"Yeah. It's called legilimency." Athena answered before looking back at Klaus, who was stared at her stonily and said hopefully, "I can even take you with me, so you can see for yourself."

Klaus glared at his daughter, knowing well what she was trying to do, but he wasn't going to let Tyler live. But he couldn't deny that he liked the idea of seeing his memories rather than listening. He might even know the witch who had agreed to kill him and his family. He would know everything, the wolves and the place where he could find them, so he agreed.

"No! You're not getting anywhere near my head!" Tyler growled at Athena as he backed away from her.

"You wont even feel it." Athena told him truthfully before immobilising him. It would be better this way, easier and painless.

Mrs. Lockwood stared wide eyes, tears running down her face as she begged, "Please don't hurt him. He's my only son."

Athena looked at the woman and promised softly, "I won't."

She told Klaus to join her after she whispered the spell and he did. He entered Tyler's mind and looked around amazed. He and Athena were in Appalachians, standing right in front of Tyler and the pack of wolves who were plotting his demise with the witch. It was like being in the middle of their conversation without their knowledge. He stared furiously as the witch, he had once known, agreed to kill him. He heard their plan and the reason Tyler was in town. He saw five of his hybrids with Tyler, after he had helped them in breaking the sire bond, included in the plan. There were at least twenty wolves, five hybrids and two witches he had to kill now. This was the information he wouldn't have got from Tyler, at least not all of it and he knew it. He was aware that Athena was standing beside him in this bizarre memory, but he ignored her for now. He wasn't going to let her bleeding-heart ruin his plans. But by the time they were back in his basement, he was more than satisfied with the knowledge, liking her method of interrogation more than he would admit.

He told Athena to remove Tyler and Carol's memory of what had happened in the cellar and implant a new memory instead before letting them go. Elijah was more perspective than anyone else as he narrowed his eyes, but thankfully stayed quiet. He knew his decision to let Tyler leave surprised Athena and she was satisfied that he hadn't killed anyone.

He just smiled, having a plan of his own. His plan had gone better than he had imagined.

The Next Day

Mystic Grill

Athena collided with someone as soon as she entered the grill, spilling their drink. "I am so sorry!" She exclaimed as she looked up, only to find the Bennett witch staring at her.

"Bonnie."

"Athena."

Athena didn't know what to say, so she nodded and turned around, but was stopped when Bonnie almost shouted, "Wait! Can I talk to you?"

Athena raised an eyebrow, knowing well that neither she, nor Elena liked her very much. Her dad had let Tyler go without killing him and that was a major feat in her eyes. She really didn't know what else could she have done because surely the witch would be threatening or warning her for something or the other like her other friends. She was tired and didn't want to fight anymore, but she nodded.

"Thank you." Bonnie whispered staring right at her and Athena could only gawk back. "I'm sure Klaus would have killed Elena, Tyler and maybe many more if it hadn't been for you. So, thank you. He doesn't care for anyone else, not even his siblings as much as he cares for you." Their gazes remained locked and Bonnie continued, "I think you know that he likes to makes people suffer, but I won't let him hurt my friends. They're the most important thing in the world to me."

Athena's eyes narrowed, but didn't say a word. She didn't know much about Bonnie, but knew that she was powerful. She also knew her father could be ruthless, but he hadn't actually killed anyone. She might be bias, but she wouldn't let anyone harm her family, no matter how powerful or how honourable their intentions were.

Bonnie studied the witch in front of her, Klaus's daughter. She wasn't what she had expected, but in any case, she wasn't going to let her guard down. Bonnie wasn't sure what to make of Athena. She was powerful. More powerful than anything she had ever felt before, but there was a dark aura surrounding Athena which scared her. The same darkness she had felt when the girl brought Damon back from dead. What kind of power it took to bring someone back?

"I've been having these dreams for days now. It's my grams. She's trying to send me a message." Athena looked surprised, but Bonnie continued, "How did you bring Damon back? Whoever that identity was… it was dark. Too dark. Nothing I've felt before." Athena stiffened but Bonnie didn't notice. "I've seen black magic and it wasn't even that. It was something powerful. Bringing someone back from dead has its consequences. I just hope you know what you are doing."

The image of a gaunt, almost skeletal man with eyes that were burning pits of fire, laughing coldly flashed in front of her and she shuddered. She couldn't forget his words, no matter how much she tried.

'A human playing with death?' 'There are consequences which you'll have to face.'

Athena shook her head, trying unsuccessfully dislodge the cruel laugh from her mind and looked at Bonnie, who was frowning at her. She didn't know what to say, and even though she knew she was being rude, she left without another word.

Salvatore Boarding House

She apparated outside the boarding house, not willing to intrude upon their privacy. The door was open so she entered without knocking, looking around cautiously. It was eerily quiet and there was no one in the parlour.

"Damon?" she called when no one came. Normally, they were always around and it should have been her first clue to leave or wait, but being Athena, she obviously didn't. She knew that Stefan loved to listen to his music in his room, which was the reason she went upstairs and barged into his room.

Her eyes widened. Stefan was lying on his bed, hands on Caroline's hips while she was rocking on top of him, naked. Both their moans were enough to bring her out of her shock as she gasped loudly, "Oh My God!" startling the two vampires in bed. Their heads snapped towards her, eyes widening comically as they scrambled to cover themselves up.

Athena didn't wait and made a mad dash down the stairs. She felt utterly embarrassed at her stupidity and just wished to vanish out of there before she had to face Stefan or Caroline for that matter. Her being her, it was obvious that it wouldn't be that easy as she slipped on the second last stair and tumbled down on the floor.

"Are you alright?" Stefan asked as he blurred down and kneeled in front of her. Caroline standing was next to them, looking concerned, but as awkward as Athena felt. Thankfully for her, they were both fully clothed and she sighed with relief. "Peachy." She mumbled avoiding his eyes.

As if it hadn't been enough, Damon came rushing inside, looking at her worriedly and asked, "What happened?" For the second time in two days, she wanted the earth to open and swallow her whole.

Stefan probed her ankle and she hissed with pain. "Oww!"

He pulled his hand back looking at her apologetically and said, "Well, it's just a sprain."

"Can you stand up?" he asked helping her up and she winced.

"Stefan, why don't you bring some ice. I can help her to the couch." Damon practically ordered his brother, pushing him away from Athena, who rolled his eyes at his brothers' antics, but did leave to bring some ice.

Damon's hand went to Athena's waist and in one swift motion, he lifted her up and she squeaked as she stared at him wide eyed. "I can walk!" She told him needlessly. Even though he ignored her, she saw a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips and she huffed as he carried her to the couch. He set her on it and sat on the opposite end, tucking her feet in his lap. He touched her left ankle softly with his fingers which was swelling rapidly, when Stefan came back with an ice-pack. Athena was so busy staring at Damon, that she had forgotten about Stefan or Caroline, who had her arms crossed across her chest as she stared at the two with narrow eyes. Damon took the ice pack and placed it on her ankle carefully.

"Damon…" she sighed exasperatedly when he ignored the other two and kept his focus on her. It was a minor injury and would be fine after taking a pain potion.

"Shh…" He threw her a look, eyes basically telling her to stay quiet.

Athena shook her head somewhat fondly before looking at Caroline. She fiddled with her fingers and asked, "Uh… Is Elena all right?"

Three pair of eyes snapped to hers and she shifted uncomfortably.

Caroline looked confused but nodded, "She's back home."

"Good." She nodded back and the uneasy silence continued until Stefan opened his mouth. "So…"

She didn't let him finish and exclaimed pathetically, "The bloody door was open!" Startling the vampires with her sudden outburst and turned pink, mortified beyond belief. 'Why couldn't she keep her mouth shut?'

Stefan closed his mouth; Damon looked between the three, not knowing what had happened when Caroline asked suddenly, "We were going to the grill. Would you like to come? Or you could rest if you want?"

Athena had never been more grateful to the girl for her ability to change the subject. She shook her head with a small smile and said, "Thank you, but I should go. I have to leave for London tomorrow and I haven't packed anything yet."

Damon's head snapped towards her and swallowed tightly. "London?"

"Yeah. Ron and Hermione are getting married. They don't want to wait any longer." She snorted remembering the way how her two friends were practically dying to get married. "I'll be back soon."

Stefan and Caroline left not long after, leaving her with Damon, who hadn't said a word since she told them that she was leaving.

He didn't look at her and asked, "When is the wedding?"

"Oh. It's on Sunday. 4 days from now." She answered quietly, unnerved by his close proximity. Wasn't she here to talk to him? But she found herself tongue tied as he wrapped his hand just above her ankle and stroked her leg as he nodded, but stayed quiet. Athena felt goose bumps rising on her skin from his simple touch, but she knew she needed to ask him what she was here for before she lost all her courage. She just hoped it wasn't a mistake!

"Um… Damon?"

"Hmm?" He hummed as he stared at his fingers which were tracing patterns on her leg.

Athena took a calming breath and took his hand in hers, knowing that she wouldn't be able to speak if he kept this up. Her sudden action must have startled him because he looked up at her, blue eyes filled with surprise.

"So, uh… I was hoping… wouldyouliketocometotheweddingwithme?" she finished in a single breath.

He frowned at her and asked, "What?"

"Would you like to come to the wedding? With me?" She asked again, heart hammering in her chest.

Damon gaped with his jaw hanging open. "You want me to come to wedding? With you? To London?" He asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah?" It came out as a question before she added hastily, "Of course you don't have to. I mean it's a last-minute thing! You might have prior engagements."

His hand went to her face as he stopped her from continuing her rant and she stared wide eyed. He looked at her, searching her face for something before removing his hand and asked sincerely, "I… Are you sure? It wouldn't be…" he searched for the words, knowing how fragile the situation was, but he was willing to do anything for her if she had decided to give him a chance, even if it was to earn her friendship back. Weasley's were her family and taking him as her plus one wouldn't be easy on her.

"Easy. I know." Athena said, stopping his inner monologue.

She didn't say more, neither did he ask, but he couldn't stop his grin as he rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand, which was still engulfed in his. He licked his lips and smirked, lips curving in a lopsided smile and prompted purposefully, "So, you want me to be your date?"

"Don't push it." She mumbled half-heartedly with a glare, but the smile never left his face even after she left.
