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.
