Vampire Diaries, Damon & Stefan & others, a surprise birthday party for Damon

The Vampire Diaries, Salvatore brothers & co., Surprise is Not Only for the Living (1/2)

[ever_neutral]

It’s half past six when Damon returns. Stefan is alert to the exact moment he does: aside from the typically dramatic slamming of the front door, the air itself seems to shift to make room for the older Salvatore; the house silently groans with the weight.

(Damon Salvatore is a boy who refuses to be missed.)

“You know, it neeeever fails to amaze me, the mouth on that Caroline.”

He saunters into the living room, leather jacket flying over the back of the sofa and landing over Stefan’s head. Damon apparently doesn’t notice.

“You’re taking her out next time. I’ve had enough adolescent female babbling to last an eternity. Which is… how long she could probably keep talking.” Damon shudders melodramatically, and downs his glass of O negative.

Stefan quietly removes the jacket from his head, turns to face his brother. “Damon.”

“Stefan,” comes the non-committal retort

Caroline Forbes is nothing if not honest. It’s one of the things Elena loves most about her --

“We’re gonna what?”

Elena expels a long-suffering sigh. (A smile pricks at the corners of her mouth.) “It’s Stefan’s idea. Put it down to brotherly bonding.”

“Well, I think it’s a terrible idea. It’ll be a bust. The guy doesn’t even have friends.”

-- But Elena will be the first to recognize that she’s not always right.

“Is this seriously happening?”

Elena is glad to be reminded that her brother can still smile.

She rifles through her closet. “Stefan can be very persuasive.”

Jeremy is chuckling, a sound somewhere between spite and joy. “I can’t believe it.”

Elena holds a dark grey top up against her herself, glances at the mirror. “Neither can I.”

A pause as she mentally rejects the grey one, looks for something brighter instead.

Then -

“Can I come?”

The Salvatores’ living room is bursting with life. Which is a nice change from the usual, Stefan observes

Aww, this is adorable! Bonnie and Caroline's reactions are my favorite.

Awww, this totally made my night! Thank you sooo much. You really rocked the Stefan PoV and I love how he and Damon can pretty much read each other's minds. Oh, these two <33

I love Jeremy being completely thrown by the idea and then wanting to come.v

Yay! Glad it works for you. Especially the Stefan POV, since I don't spend as much time in that brother's head. :)

Yeah, I thought I might as well throw in Jeremy's weird attachment to Damon there. *g*

Oh my gosh this was beautiful, just all around beautiful. You nailed every character and you provided such insight into their heads with just a few right-on-the-money words. I am sooooooooooo impressed. And all your formatting was perfect. Loved the inclusion of Bonnie, Caroline, and Jeremy. And I will now stop babbling. It was brilliant. <3

Wow, thanks so much! I very much appreciate your babbling. ♥

Anytime. :) (You also got all the dialogue exactly right, just by the way.)
