THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

THE DINNER PARTY (S2:E15)

- London, England 1888 -

Sam walks into a large, luxurious mansion, wearing nothing but rugs, a hood over his head and a bag slung over his shoulder.

Elijah : Oh hello, Samuel. Or should I rather say 'Jack the Ripper'? I'm surprised you're back so soon.

Sam : Where is Klaus?

Elijah : He is out at the moment. Though I suppose you come back with good news about the latest contract.

Sam : It has been fulfilled.

The Salvatore throws the bag to Elijah's feet, a bit of blood leaking from it.

Sam : The proof, as always.

Elijah : That was vile, Samuel. Just like your clothing. How about we get a nice suit tailored for you? To... make you fit in with your surroundings a bit more.

It's true. Inside the massive, luxurious walls, Sam looks like a beggar who's lost his way.

Sam : I'm hungry.

And with that said, Sam leaves the house again, making Elijah sigh and worry for the young man.

-

I'm walking into the Grill to get a quick drink before school, like one does when he lost all control over his life. Yep, I'm a lost cause, but hey... I'm totally fine with that.

But when I enter this fine establishment, I see none other than Bonnie sitting alone at a table. So naturally, I walk over to her and cover her eyes, standing behind her.

Sam : Guess who.

I feel her flinching at my voice, but hey. A girl can never be too cautious nowadays, maybe I startled her a bit.

Seeing as she relefex almost immediately, I just guess that's what it was.

Bonnie : Ehm... my boyfriend, who's way too old to be dating high schoolers?

I cringe a bit.

Sam : No! Well, yes... but no!

She giggles a bit. I remove my hand from her eyes and give her a quick kiss on the forehead.

Sam : So, what's an attractive lady like you doing alone at a bar this early in the morning?

Bonnie : I could ask you the same thing.

Sam : Well first off, I'm flattered you think I'm an attractive lady. Really boosts my ego. But I'm here to get drunk before school. And since you're a better person than I am, you can't use that excuse on me. So, feel like sharing with the group?

I sit down next to her and put my arm around her. She doesn't seem to like that one bit, so I quickly take it away. Seems like I didn't imagine things earlier. Something's definitely up with her.

Bonnie : Got into an argument with my dad this morning. I just needed to get out of the house.

I smile at her in sympathy.

Sam : Look, I know you're still young and inexperienced in those sort of things... but when you're having a hard time at home, you usually hit up your boyfriend to pick you up as soon as humanly possible. Humanly... doesn't quite fit, but you get what I mean.

She smiles and puts her hand on mine.

Bonnie : Sorry, I just wanted to be alone for a while. But you seem to be in a good mood today. Any reason?

Sam : To be honest, I should be in an awful mood. I got into a really bad argument with Damon yesterday. But when you walk into a bar to get completely wasted at seven in the morning, but then find your girlfriend and instead get to spent some time with her... kinda lights up the mood, ya know?
