Salvatore Mansion, Mystic Falls - Sunday morning, FHT

[need_no_moon]

Jake officially hated the Salvatore mansion. It was creepy as fuck and it stank of leeches and blood. Every time he went into those frigging dungeons (they were dungeons, cellars weren't half as sinister as this one and there was an actual fucking prison cell), he could smell the blood that was stocked up in the freezer. It was one thing to deal

Caroline blew a chunk of hair out of her face as she turned to look at him from where she was tying a banner so it would fall open when they were ready to sing and cut the cake. "Um, everyone? Why? Do we not have enough?"

"I'm pretty sure we have enough for the entire town," he said dryly, "but if they're all coming that won't be a problem."

"So long as we don't run out," she corrected, jumping down off the chair she'd been standing on. "How's it look? Very low key, very classy, very Elena?"

Okay, so things would be much lower key if they weren't in a mansion filled with antiques.

"Babe, I don't think you do low key," he teased, looking around at the decorations. It was weirdly sane considering he'd gotten used to Fandom decorations. "No Canada theme?"

At least Jake had some good memories to tide him over when Caroline dumped his ass to go take care of things the instant they got at the party. So much for showing off. Really, she hadn't been kidding when she'd said she invited everyone and Jake hadn't even smelled half of these people who he assumed made up the whole of Mystic Falls High.

He didn't know any of them, and those that he did know, he was just going to avoid. Especially Tyler who seemed to be dryhumping some poor girl in what he assumed were dance moves. Seriously, he didn't want to smell half of what he was smelling right now. Grabbing some soda and chips, he retreated to where the music wasn't going to make his ears bleed, wondering what Elena was going to make of this.

Elena was not exactly the best birthday girl to have a party for, despite all her charm, popularity, and the fact that everyone felt sorry for the girl.

Still, Caroline was doing her best to remain upbeat. Even when she couldn't find the guest of honor. She did manage to find Jake over in the stoner corner, minus all the stoners. "Scare everyone off in here?" she asked.

[need_no_moon]

"Yup," he actually seemed pleased with himself. "Apparently my scowl was ruining their high and I think one of them had to go throw up."

"Good for you," she said, sighing as she dropped onto the sofa beside him. "You haven't seen like, Elena or Damon around, have you?"
