Caroline and Klaus had just made it into his room when she pressed her lips roughly against his. As she kissed him, she could feel his smirk against her lips.

"You had one rule, Love," He pointed out, separating their lips by mere centimetres. "And you already broke it."

"Well if I'm stuck with you for the next century anyways…" She trailed off with a grin as she kicked the bedroom door shut.

His hand ran up her back as he commented, "I didn't think that you noticed what you were implying."

"I didn't at first," She admitted before pressing her lips to his once again. "But then I was thinking about what you said in the kitchen and that smirk of yours started bothering me, so I had to figure out what caused it."

He took a step back from her and brought one of his hands up to the side of her face as he told her, "I am so sorry, Caroline. I swear nothing like that will ever happen again. I love you way too much to ever put you through something like that again; I already hate that it had to happen the first time."

"I know," Caroline told him. She was a little surprised by her own words, and yet at the same time she hadn't wanted to be mad at Klaus. "And I love you too… Even if I occasionally hate you."

As he smiled down at her, she brought her lips up to meet his once again.


Stefan had just left the room after assisting Alaric in getting Damon to his guest bed.

When Alaric removed his jeans and got into the other side of the bed, Damon began to grin and moved closer to him. Ric was expecting to have to fend him off, but instead the other man just cuddled up to him, burrowing his face into Alaric's neck, before he quickly fell asleep.

Alaric smiled a little to himself before he shut his eyes to go to sleep himself.


Meanwhile, in Elijah's room, Katherine had barely managed to get her boyfriend through the door before his jacket and shirt hit the floor.

"You're fun when you're drunk," She commented while she shut the door behind them as he continued to strip. "…Although you're pretty fun when you're sober too."

Elijah walked over to her and began to kiss at her neck as he led her to the bed. He tried to lower them to the bed, but missed and fell.

Katherine managed to catch herself just in time to watch a very drunk Elijah fall back onto the floor. She had to laugh a little as she helped him up off of the floor.

"Let's get you to bed, Drunky," She commented as she helped him into the bed.

He smiled up at her as he told her, "You're so nice."

"Only to you," Katherine told him as she crawled into bed with him.

"That's what I like about you," Elijah slurred as he brought his lips to meet hers.

She could taste all of the alcohol on his breath as he kissed her sloppily and ran a hand clumsily along her body.

As she pulled away, Katherine told him, "I can't believe that I'm actually saying this, but I think that you're too drunk for sex."

Elijah pouted at her and she had to struggle not to laugh at the sight.

"But tomorrow morning I am going to be all over that," She told him. "Which means that we should both go to sleep so that tomorrow comes sooner."

She let her head rest on Elijah's bare chest and shut her eyes as he kissed her on the top of the head.

A few minutes of unbearable silence went by before Katherine lifted her head to check if he was still awake.

When she saw that he was she asked, "…So, drunken sex?"

Elijah responded by eagerly rolling them so that he was on top of her before he brought his lips down to meet hers.


Meanwhile, in Jeremy's room, Bonnie was commenting, "I'm surprised that Elena and Caroline didn't end up going after each other more. That's probably a good thing, though."

"Really?" Jeremy asked her. "Because I always thought that the best part of you and Caroline coming over to play games like that was when her and Elena would be at each other's throats and I'd get you all to myself. At least for as long as they didn't seem to notice that you were gone."

She smiled at him happily as she admitted, "That was actually my favourite part too. It was much more fun than dealing with the actual aftermath of their fights like they made me do when they realized that I was gone and decided to drag me into it."

Jeremy pulled her closer to him and pressed his lips to her forehead.

"It was still worth it though," Bonnie whispered into his neck as she draped an arm over his chest. "To spend some time with you and start to realize how I feel about you."

He smiled to himself and ran a hand along her side as she pressed kisses against his neck.


"Okay, never have I ever…" Elena said thoughtfully as she got into bed with her boyfriend. "Gone skydiving."

"Yup," Stefan responded. "Done that."

"Fine. Then never have I ever…" A clever smirk formed on Elena's lips as she thought of something she doubted that Stefan had done before. "Rode a camel."

She watched his facial expression and already knew that she had been wrong before he even gave her an innocent shrug and commented, "That too."

"You've done everything," Elena pointed out with a slight pout. "That's not fair."

"But that just means that I have more to show you," He told her with a smile. "Besides, I haven't done everything."

"I'm going to think of something that you haven't done," She promised him. "And then we're going to go do it together."

A quick couple of seconds went by before Stefan suggested, "I've never been in a hot-air balloon."

"Neither have I," Elena told him with a grin before pressing her lips against his. "I'm taking you on one."

"Good," He told her with a grin before kissing her again. "It can be a first for both of us."


"What's with you?" Tyler asked.

"Nothing," Hayley responded.

"Really?" Tyler challenged. "Because you're never this quiet, especially not when I'm trying to sleep."

She gave him a weak smile and rolled her eyes at that before she told him, "Maybe you should stay here. In Mystic Falls I mean."

"What? Why?"

"Because even with all of the Caroline drama, you still belong here. Your friends are here," Hayley explained. "I don't belong here. The only reason that I was even invited to this thing was because Kol wanted some drama. Look, if all that's going on between us is sex, then it's not worth living far away from all of your friends just to try and avoid a little controversy."

"But it's not just sex," Tyler assured her. "Why would you even think that?"

"Gee, I don't know. Maybe because you cheated on your girlfriend with me and then showed up at my place looking for sex when you finally gave up on any chance of getting back together with her," Hayley responded sarcastically.

"I came back for you because I have feelings for you," He told her seriously. "I fell for you when we were just friends and, when I got compelled to sleep with you, it just made me start to realize that. And maybe it took being away from you and around Caroline to figure that out. But, even if I'm really slow, that doesn't mean that I don't care about you. And it doesn't mean that I don't still want to stay with you."

Hayley rolled her eyes, since she wasn't the kind of person to show how much mushiness like that could mean to her. Even as she tried to hide it, Hayley could tell by Tyler's smirk that he saw right through it, so she playfully hit him in the chest before letting her head fall onto his chest.


Matt opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately cut off by Rebekah pushing him down against the bed as she began to aggressively kiss him. Matt began to kiss her back as he tangled his fingers in her hair, pulling her closer.

As she moved to remove his shirt, their lips separated just long enough for Matt to say, "I don't know what I did without you."

"I can't imagine," She agreed before pulling her own shirt off over her head.


Meanwhile, in Kol's room, April was saying, "So I know that you already got your present, but I think it's time for part two."

"I get two presents and Rebekah only got one," Kol pointed out with a childish grin. "I guess that means that you like me more."

"Who says that I didn't give her birthday sex too?" April questioned innocently as she sat on his lap, facing him.

"You shouldn't tease me like that," He told her as he ran a hand slowly through her hair. "The idea of girl-on-girl action involving my sister is just confusing."

"Sorry…" April told him. "Here, I'll distract you."

As she pulled her shirt off, Kol just grinned happily and watched while he rubbed circles on her hips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he began to kiss at her chest as her hands moved towards the zipper of his pants.

"I love you so much," He murmured against her flesh.

She moved to kiss him on the lips. "I love you too."


Early the next morning, Alaric woke up to see that Damon had cuddled up to him even more during the night. That was very unfortunate, since Alaric needed to go to the washroom and didn't particularly want to wake the other man up.

Alaric carefully lifted Damon's arm from his chest and carefully slid out of the bed.

Damon woke up to find the other side of the bed empty and his head immediately began to hurt as he rolled over to spot Alaric walking back into the room.

"What, did you sneak out?" Damon questioned in an amused tone. As events from the night before came back to him, he added, "Did I scare you off with all of that stuff last night?"

"No, actually I just had to pee," Ric responded with a slight smirk as he got back into the bed.

"Oh."

"But speaking of last night, I'm pretty sure that Jeremy is not going to stop until he figures out what exactly we are," Alaric commented. "Which means that we should probably figure out what we are."

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to pass you a note that says 'Do you want to be my boyfriend? Check yes or no.'?" Damon asked sarcastically. "Because I don't really have any paper… So here's the deal… If I call you my boyfriend, am I going to get punched in the face, or what?"

"I guess not," The other man told him with a slight smirk.

"Well good call because boyfriends get their breakfast made by me," Damon said with a matching smirk as he got out of the bed.

"If I'd known that, we would have been dating weeks ago," Ric commented as he followed suit.


Jeremy woke up to find that Bonnie was still asleep and decided to go get himself something to eat and then bring something up for his girlfriend.

He poured himself some cereal and then carried it with him into the living room to check if anyone else was up yet. Jeremy was surprised, but not that surprised to discover Alaric lying over top of Damon as the pair passionately made out.

Jer took another spoonful of cereal into his mouth as he stood there watching, a little confused. He tilted his head to the side as he continued to watch for several long seconds.

Finally, he just had to comment, "I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this is not what people who are just friends do."

Alaric moved his lips away from Damon's as he pushed himself on his elbows and turned to face Jeremy.

"How long have you been standing there for?" Damon questioned.

"I don't know, like three minutes," Jeremy replied with an innocent shrug. "So, seriously, what's going on with you two? You aren't really still pretending to be just some weird, messed-up friends, right?"

"No, we're not," Alaric responded. "We're dating now."

"Oh." Jeremy said with an indifferent nod before shovelling some more cereal into his mouth.

Alaric was about to sit up, since Jeremy didn't appear to be planning on leaving anytime soon, when the teenager nodded at them once more before walking back out of the room.


Over the course of the next few hours, everyone began to get up. As Stefan and Damon sat in a group, there was a palpable tension between the two. Finally, the pair just gave each other a meaningful look and then walked off to another room by themselves to talk in private.

There was a thick silence before Stefan spoke up with, "So…"

"So…" Damon said in agreement as he avoided meeting his brother's gaze. "I got a little too drunk and said some stuff last night…"

"Yeah," Stefan agreed.

Damon could feel his brother's eyes on him and flickered his gaze up as he said, "Well, I would have preferred not to have said it, but it's true. And as much as it pains me to say it now, I meant it."

Stefan nodded. "I did too."

There was an awkward pause as they both seemed to debate what to do next before Damon moved to put his arms up and his brother did the same, pulling him into a hug.

The End.
