"When you turn 18, you can legally do all the things you've been doing since you were 15."
Caelum was singing along to the radio, Elijah smiling as he observed them. They both ignored the screaming coming from the house, both knowing full well what was going on.
The driver's door opened and Klaus sat down in the seat, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. He looked over to the couple, recoiling in shock at the figure sitting beside them.
"Where did you get a dog?" He asked, and Caelum smiled.
"Well he was just running around and I didn't want him to get hurt. But it's their dog, and he'll be orphaned since we both know there is no way that they are surviving. Can we keep him, pleaseeee?"
Klaus sighed, and looked away from Caelum's pleading eyes. "Guys-"
"Pleaseee? He'll be all orphaned and alone, Nik. Plus it's my birthday."
"Wait, it's your birthday? Why didn't you say something?" Klaus asked.
"Well, it's 1am, so I was going to tell you later. But can we please keep him?"
"Fine." Klaus muttered. "He's kinda cute anyways." He whispered, but both Elijah and Caelum heard it.
"Yes! Rudy, welcome to your new home." The golden retriever barked, and cuddled into Caelum's side, licking their hand. They pet the dog's fur, mumbling praises to the dog.
Elijah and Klaus look at each other and the latter sighs, while the former shakes his head slowly with a small smile.

"Can I please have a drink, 'Lijah?" Caelum asked, twirling in their seat.
"You're still underage, love." He replies.
"And technically Stefan is as well. Forever 17." Elijah sighs at the words. "Plus, it's not the first time I've drunk while underage."
"Fine, a few sips." He relented. "Only a few sips."
"Fine. Rudy, want some water?" They ask, turning to the dog laying on the floor beside Caelum. He barks in agreement, and Caelum waves over the bartender. "Can I get a cup of water for my dog?"
The bartender hands them a cup of water and ice, and they set it down next to their dog. "Here you go, Rudy, my sweet baby."
"Am I going to be competing for your love with the dog?" Elijah asks.
"First of all, he has a name."
"Fine. Am I going to be competing with your love with Rudy?"
"Nope, don't worry about it. I'll never love someone like I love you, my dear."
Klaus coughs. "Disgusting." Caelum flips him off in response.
"Go back to your little darts game, Nik."
Screams answer their comment from another dart thrown into the werewolf chained to the wall.
"Ray! You can end this right now. Just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon." Stefan states.
"I can't."
