The Prince of Mystic Falls

80. Breaking Up

Pairing: Klaus-Tyler, Matt, Jeremy (M/mmm) paddle

Friday Evening

3rd Floor

"Marcel, you are a bloody genius! Ha, Elijah will never know until it's too late and this evil thing is burning in the bonfire. I love you," Rebekah said jumping into his arms excitedly. She was holding the now stolen paint paddle that Marcel had found hidden under the desk in Klaus' upstairs study. It felt heavier than she thought it would.

"Um, Rebekah, he could just go to the hardware store and like, get another one. I think these paint stick things are free. Christ, he's going to know it was me. He always does," Marcel mused.

"But he won't, because he'll be looking for it. So why get a new one, when you already have one? It's brilliant! You know how my oldest brother loathes clutter!" Rebekah laughed.

"Um, technically, your eldest bro is Finn and he's getting his tail whupped right now. You should have heard him, Rebekah, he was so scared about missing that movie tomorrow and that fucked up kids' place. I begged Elijah to just beat his ass and let him go. So I guess I shouldn't feel too bad," Marcel said swinging her around.

"Ah, Marcel, that's so sweet...I think. He could have just let the lad off the hook though," Rebekah quipped.

"What are you two lovebirds doing?" Kol yelled from the hallway, "Put your bloody clothes on!"

"Shut it, Kol. Are you coming with us and Freya tonight or going with Elijah and them?" Rebekah asked when he came in.

"Don't know, Bex. Who is paying?" Kol asked.

"That would be Elijah probably," Marcel said rolling his eyes. Rebekah elbowed him.

"I'll go with you blokes! Italian tonight, right?" Kol restated as he walked out of the room.

"Big surprise," Marcel muttered.

"I heard that!" Kol yelled.

Friday Evening

Elijah's Quarters

Elijah woke up Finn an hour or so after he fell asleep. He hoped he hadn't been too hard on him.

"Hey Finn, it's time to wake up," Elijah said smoothing his hair back. He kissed his forehead.

"I'm up," Finn croaked. Elijah gave him a water bottle.

"So no more sneaking around alright? You can read or play quietly if you don't want to sleep," Elijah said as a reminder.

"But why can't I play with you or Vanessa while Henrik is sleeping?" Finn asked soberly.

"Because sometimes we need a little break, too. How about tonight, we'll see if we can find you some building sets at that new mall by the restaurant? That will give you a lot to do," Elijah said.
