        katherine rolled her eyes, shifting her weight against the closet wall with deliberate ease. "i’m not hiding," she repeated, slower this time, emphasis sharpened. "i’m redirecting my attention. there’s a difference. hiding implies fear. this is… selective engagement."  

        her fingers brushed idly over a sleeve of silk, more for something to do than any real interest before her gaze flickered to the door. “is he gone?”

        elijah regarded her quietly while she spoke, his expression composed and unmoved by the attempt at humor. "your level of 'enthusiasm' for the matter does not alter its existence," he said evenly. his gaze shifted briefly past her, as if assessing the room behind her before returning to her face.

       "i would not normally seek you out for such a matter," elijah admitted, but unfortunately, he believed that she could be of help in one way or another. "so whether or not you are rested," he finished, "is ultimately irrelevant."

lokelani is careful, shaping the tree and its branches under the cover of dark. slight movements that she’s been practicing whenever the chance arises. with a tap of branch on @seesgood window, she climbs the carefully crafted footholds and waits. once the window opens lokelani lets her golden eyes fade and the tree return to normal, stumbling happily into caroline’s arm.

“sorry it’s so late. swim practice ran late and then late dinner and lectures from mom and dad and college discussions.” lokelani doesn’t look up from where she’s tucked herself firmly into caroline’s fresh. the soft perfume of her skin masking the tears kel had shed earlier in the day and the lingering scent of chlorine on her skin. taking a deep breath and inhaling the smell that is uniquely caroline, kel finally pulls away after a moment.

“hi. it’s tenish now and i have until like one. it should give me enough time to sneak back home and get some sleep before i have to get up and ready for school in the morning.” nervously kel pinches the skin on the back of her hand as she waits for a response. all she wants is to curl up with caroline, to hear about her day and see new cheer routines. but with such limited time that wasn’t always doable, even when after a day like today it was all she wanted (part of her almost went to @ofthclight instead tonight. tyler understood the cruelty of her parents a little better and wouldn’t have asked questions. but it was harder to sneak into his place consider she hadn’t told him about being a freak of nature yet).

＊ STARTER        FOR        CAROLINE        .ᐟ @seesgood

HE         KNEW         IT         WAS         GOING         TO BE         CAROLINE.         Met with a death glare and cold shoulder,        something that was hard to get rid of when it came to the most-likely-to-hold-a-grudge award winner in his brain, Caroline.        Jeremy knew it was wrong,        felt the heat of it as he scratched at the back of his hands and curled his nails into his knuckles until he was bleeding.        Jeremy knew that it was wrong because he could barely comprehend the thoughts that would whirl around and pound against his skull until he was thumping his own forehead to try to get him out of the zone of reminiscing.        There was enough to be worried about,        between the veil being down and Stefan going off the rails,        Jeremy didn't need to be an addition to the madness.        But there was Vicki,        and there was Anna,        a hurricane of emotions that trumps his growing admiration for Bonnie.        He knew he was a terrible person because he didn't care at that moment if Bonnie stepped through the door and caught him lip locked with Anna.         It made him feel worse that it was Elena who found them in the first place.

He didn't deserve Bonnie and everyone knew it,        including him.

"I don't need to hear it."        He did,        he hadn't gotten the blunt force of how awful it was yet.        "I don't know why I did it."        Because you've never healed from anything or anyone.        Because she didn't just move away and move on,        she died.        Jeremy's already rubbing his knuckles raw once more,        his glossed over eyes not from a relapse but because he was busying crying over how fucked he made everything between him and Bonnie,        and by extension the whole group.        "Just let me have a minute."

ONCE HE ARRIVED, THEY’RE ALL THERE. of course they are. the mystic falls morality squad! naturally, they’ve chosen to handle this together. as if that’s historically worked out for them. his eyes sweep the room once, briefly settling on caroline. there’s definitely a look there that said i see you and don’t make this harder than it has to be.

the room’s a mess of nerves and anger and that familiar, delicious dread. they’re upset and panicking. he drank it in. “so, let me guess. the great bonnie bennett is missing?” he hums to himself as if he’s thinking it over. as if he hasn’t counted every breath she had taken in the last twelve hours. she was… safe. mildly irritated, but safe. for now as she cooperated.

“maybe she finally got tired of saving you lot and ran off to find a life expectancy longer than a mayfly.” he tilted his head with feigned concern. “did i miss the part where you all decided who gets to make the big selfless sacrifice or did you already draw straws?” tough crowd. he’d only come to visit caroline, but this was turning into something far much more fun than he expected. that’d have to wait, though. “caroline, could i speak to to you privately? important matters that go beyond the unfortunate bennett witch problem.”

“seriously? out of all the things to talk about?”

"WHAT? Would you rather I talk about how you react to that thing I do with my tongue?" He's playing with fire and he knows it, but he wouldn't be who he was if he didn't push her buttons. If anything, she should be thankful that his instinctive response to, 'What do you do when you're on your partners' bad side?' was simply 'Potatoes.' He'd kept the whole 'sometimes when I'm bored I make TikToks' thing a secret for a while, but eventually, his wife had to find out. And, NATURALLY, when she found out, snippets of her had begun showing up in his videos. Never full on - not yet at least - but he knew Caroline liked that his fans knew he was taken in some way, and he wouldn't deny her anything. "I guess I could have told them that when I make you mad I conveniently forget I have a gym membership for a few days, and work out around the house."
