Christmas Charades [The Vampire Diaries]

Merry Christmas Everyone

“If everybody could just beside someone they won’t ‘accidentally’ stab with a fork that would be nice.” Caroline called out as she placed the last dish on the large dining table.

Everyone was standing around it, looking at each other cautiously and Caroline rolled her eyes as she started leading everyone to an empty seat. She placed Klaus at the end of the table because she knew his ego couldn’t handle any less and then sat on his right side, across from Elijah.

Bonnie was on her right and Kol had taken the seat beside the witch before anyone else had even thought of it. When everyone was finally seated and they all had some sort of liquid in their glasses, Caroline stood up and looked at them all with a smile.

“So we all survived today. Which I only doubted a little. But this only proves that this really is the season for love and understanding. Merry Christmas everyone!” Caroline spoke as they all stared at her in surprise and she sent Kol a quick glance before she sat back down.

“Don’t forget, darling. It’s also the time for parties and celebrations with people dancing all night long.” Kol said with an amused smirk as he raised his glass in a toast.

“It’s time for presents.” Bonnie offered with a tilt of her head and a smile equal to Kol’s on her lips.

“And exchanging kisses.” Kol told her in a sultry voice that made Bonnie blush and Caroline clear her throat.

“And most importantly for singing Christmas songs.” Caroline finished with a mischievous gleam in her eyes as she shared a look with Stefan and then with Kol.

She raised her glass in a toast just like Kol was doing and everyone followed after a moment’s hesitation. Caroline’s eyes then turned to Klaus, who was looking at her with a slightly narrowed gaze and she fought hard not to look away as she smiled at him, knowing that he was on to them.

“Merry Christmas everyone!”
