❝Kinky,❞ Coda's smug voice filled the air causing Tyler, Caroline, and Bill (Caroline's dad) to turn around, finding the siphoner in a suit, black shirt, deep blue trousers, and a blazer matching his pants thrown over his shoulder. "Though a cellar of all places wouldn't be my first choice."
"What are you doing here? And in a suit?" Caroline inquired watching as he carelessly lay his blazer onto a dusty stone bench
"You called." He replied in a duh tone with a roll of his brown eyes.
"Not you." She retorted, tapping her foot impatiently while her father and boyfriend shuffled awkwardly behind her.
"Me, Mel," He makes gestures with his hands, "tomato, tomato."
"And the suit?"
"You're not the only ones who've requested my presence, sweet Caroline," The younger male says sweetly tucking his hands into his trousers.
"I didn't." She deadpanned.
"And to think I made you my special muffins." He mockingly places a hand over his heart, "I'd have thought you'd be more appreciative towards the person who rid of that deadly bite."
"Don't expect a gift basket."
"Seems more like a benefit on my behalf," The blonde rolled her eyes, but her lips began turning upwards, the teasing tone in his voice amusing them both. Bill continued fastening Tyler's chains onto his arms securely.
"Who're you going out with?" Caroline mused, raising an eyebrow.
"Cute guy from a bar," Coda replied simply, a grin tugging at his lips when his thoughts went back to the shy brunette who certainly was the farthest thing from timid in his bed last night.
"Surprised you opted for a date instead of fucking him on the spot." Caroline quipped hoping to bother the siphoner but was only returned with a playful grin.
"Oh, I did. Y'know in the bar bathroom then my kitchen, living room, and bedroom." He retorted, "He did this thing with his tongue―"
"Alright," Bill Forbes called out, cutting off the boy making the blonde vampire sigh in relief and the brunette siphoner turn around and face the human standing over the chained-up hybrid. "You're ready."
Caroline looks wearily at her father who secures a few more chains on Tyler. "How do you know, this is gonna work?"
"That's a process. It took decades, to train myself to resist compulsion. Brain's like a muscle. The more you use it, the more it can do. A sire bond, at its core, is about one thing...gratitude. If you believe you owe Klaus your life, ask yourself why." Bill explains, gesturing towards Tyler to speak.
