we draw first blood

Stefan Salvatore. Vampire. Brother. Son. Cousin. Friend. Writer. Fighter. Lover. Human.
You did? [looks a little surprised and glances over at Stefan, nodding in understanding] Yes, he can be. [answers quietly and elbows his cousin some] Just don’t get hurt, please. Especially not for my sake. [flicks some ashes onto the grass and smiles] I think you and I are more alike than I anticipated. And we’re certainly uh, closer than I’d imagined we would be. [looks back over to him hoping Stefan understood]
Of course I did. I went there immediately when you didn’t return my calls and texts. [he says, a bit surprised that he asked] I can take care of myself Daniel. And I know what I’m doing. [chuckles lightly] At least I hope so. I think I found a way to get under his skin to make him admit that he cares about me. [licks his lips and brings the cigarette to them, inhaling once again] Yeah I think so too, we are blood after all. [chuckles]
qr:daniel [nods his head in agreement] It really has. [rubs his stomach again at the memory] Niklaus managed to nearly kill me twice. I feel like it’s a new personal record. [takes the pack and pulls out a cigarette, taking the lighter as well and bringing the cigarette to his lips] Don’t tell your siblings but you might be my favorite. [chuckles as he exhales]
Yeah, I talked to him about that…[furrows his eyebrows as he remembers what happened] Or at least I tried to. Klaus can be very…distracting. [chuckles, hoping that he’ll understand what he wants to say] Oh really? And why is that? [he laughs, lighting his own cigarette and bringing it to his lips] Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.
qr:daniel [raises an eyebrow at him and chuckles] And what has you all worked up? [thinks for a moment before holding his hand out to Stefan] I suppose you could let your favorite cousin bum a cigarette, yes? [grins at him]
[shrugs, finishing his cigarette and throwing it on the ground before stepping it with his foot.] Nothing really. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks and I just wanted to smoke a cigarette. It’s a great way to sort out your thoughts. [takes out the pack from his pocket and takes another one, before giving the pack to Daniel] Of course I can. What kind of a cousin do you think I am? [jokes]
qr:daniel That’s a terrible habit, Stefan. [smirks as he approaches the man, giving him a look before joining him on the bench. Glances over him after he’s sat down for a moment] And what led to you smoking on a park bench in the middle of the afternoon?
You know what else is a terrible habit? [slightly tilts his head as he looked at Klaus, moving away the cigarette from his lips and exhaling] Killing people. So this, [looks at the cigarette] is better than that. [glances at him before looking away and focusing on a tree in front of them] Nothing special. I just wanted to. [shrugs]
qr:klaus [sits next to him without a word and folds his arms over his chest, stretching his legs out in front of him. remains silent for a moment before finally speaking up] Since when do you smoke, cousin?
[exhales slowly, making tiny circles out of the smoke and smirks when Daniel sits next to him.] Hello to you too cousin. [brings the cigarette back to his mouth, inhaling deeply and taking a moment before answering his question] Since I found out that it helps calm me down.
[sits on a bench taking out a pack of cigarettes and lighting a one bringing it to his lips and inhaling. He crosses his legs at his ankles and spreads his free hand across the bench]
Let me guess…does this have anything to do with a certain doe eyed brunette named Katherine Pierce?[before he has a chance to say anything else, Klaus’ lips are on his and he kisses him back hungrily, bringing his hands to the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer]Why does she need your help? [furrows his eyebrows, taking a step closer] Just be sure to let her know that I don’t like sharing.
She wants revenge, I believe that’s something I’m rather well versed in. [smirks] You don’t like sharing? [takes a step forward, putting them right in front of each other] Well, I suppose it’s a good thing that you don’t leave something to be desired. [looks over him for a moment before taking that last step, bringing a hand up to his neck to pull Stefan to him as he kissed him]
Is that so? [smirks, looking down to his phone] Jenny Humphrey. She won me in that auction. She’s asked for my help, actually.
Why does she need your help? [furrows his eyebrows, taking a step closer] Just be sure to let her know that I don’t like sharing.
qr:klaus Of course, but I only let that family extend as far as my siblings. [chuckles] Very well, then. Is there something else you wanted from me, Stefan?
Well Demetrio is like a brother to me. [chuckles, crossing his arms] Who’s your date?
