Who: Ileana, Stefan, and Cole
What: Meet the family for Cole.
Where: 1203
When: Backdated to Friday evening
Warnings: We'll see if Stefan doesn't punch Cole.

Out of everything, Ileana hadn't really expected to be nervous. She threatened Stefan with bodily harm if he threatened Cole, but she was still worried about a first impression. Not only that, but she had to think about Esme being in the building as well. Ileana had spent actual time cleaning up 1203 and starting to cook a meal, trying to keep herself busy.

Tonight she was working on beef stroganoff for the main course, the most she asked of Stefan was to make sure that they had things to drink and "go out and buy some sort of fucking pie or whatever" for dessert. She was busy with a heated skillet when she heard the door. Ileana called out, "Stefan, get the door!" and went back to work.

Stefan made some unintelligible and unhappy noise at her command but got up all the same. He hadn't stopped regretting his initial idea of wanting to meet Cole. At the time it seemed like an inevitability. Ileana obviously liked him. Rosalie vouched for him. The guy knew his secrets and so far hadn't called the cops on him. It didn't seem too bad.

That was until the man decided to prove he was a concerned, law-abiding and pro-active sort of citizen, and Ileana refused to let Stefan take his offer back. He quickly glanced over at the kitchen, glossing over the apple pie that he bought and made sure he had enough beer to last the dinner. He was going to fucking need it.

When he opened the door, Stefan gave the guy an obvious once over. He had almost forgotten how old he was and the beginnings of a scowl couldn't be stopped. "You Cole?" He wasn't trying to be rude, but that was about the best hello he could muster.

Meeting Stefan wasn't very high on Cole's list of things he wanted to do, but he figured it was better to just get it over with instead of prolonging the inevitable. He wasn't stupid enough to think that he and the man would become best friends, especially considering his temporary Batman complex coupled with the fact that Stefan was... well, a criminal. That didn't necessarily make him a bad person, though he wasn't pleased that Ileana got caught up in his schemes.

Still, he was determined to try to be as polite as possible. He had flowers - because he was Ileana's boyfriend, and he wasn't going to pretend otherwise just for Stefan's sake - and some kind of... cake pie thing that he'd picked up at the last minute. It seemed wrong to show up empty-handed, and after one last look at his appearance he headed up to 1203.

To say he was nervous was be an understatement, but he pasted on the friendliest smile he could muster when the door opened. The man facing him had to be Stefan, and he sighed inwardly at the hint of a scowl. "I'm Cole, yes. You must be Stefan." He managed to juggle the dessert and flowers, offering him his free hand. "It's nice to finally meet you." He could do this. It was only one dinner.

	“I didn’t say anything,” he muttered darkly, although his lazy shrug was more for Cole’s sake. He couldn’t help but add, “You should remind him you’re not on the menu though.” Even if he didn’t know the words, Stefan’s unappreciative tone was clear. He took another drink before he gave Cole humorless smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
