“Uh - I’m sorry? ‘Didn’t realise smiling was such a problem.” She was clearly in a bad mood, and Stefan had no idea how to apologise without pissing her off further. Nothing had worked so far, so perhaps he should just leave it be. “No - none.” His smile dropped, and he shrugged. 

Honestly, now she was confused, and it only served to piss her off. He was far too reasonable for Jessica to deal with, especially in her current mood. “It confuses me when you smile for no damn reason. Was running into me funny? Was there a punch line I missed?”

“Does you being offended by my politeness offend me? It uh - it confuses me, I wouldn’t say it offends me, no.”

Polite. He had to be joking. “Yes,” she squinted at him, hands digging into her jacket pockets. “Does that offend you?”

[stefansallvatore]

“A lucky guess is good enough for me,” he replied with a shrug. Stefan understood by now not to push Jesse, to allow him to open up at his own pace. And he always did, in the end. That’s when Stefan could offer a solution, and help his friend. Right now was evidently one of those times, it was obvious to Stefan that Jesse was in distress. Whilst he wanted to know why, out of pure concern, Stefan remained patient, easing into the conversation opposed to rushing it. 

“Alright, good. And just know, my place is always open for you anytime you need a break or somewhere to rest your head. You won’t be overstaying your welcome,” if Jesse hadn’t acquired accommodation yet, Stefan wanted to ensure his offer was taken. The last thing he’d allow was for him to sleep on the streets. He’d find out the reason why later, but for now, Stefan settled for the change in conversation. “Caroline? My friend, a vampire from One. Perky, pushy, has everyone laughing. But she’s been in charge of the renovations, so as soon as a place becomes available, I’ll ask her to make it all yours. She just might ask a favour or two in return.”

Jesse glanced away, moving to inhale again, but met the vampire’s eyes momentarily when he crouched beside him. He hesitated with his answer, a lie already forming on his lips. But if he’d taken anything away from his relationship with Stefan, it was that lying was fruitless. The man always found a way to unravel him. “Lucky guess, I guess.” Although, he couldn't be sure. Scratching the side of his head, Jesse looked away again, listening to his options. As usual, Stefan was right. Technically, he’d been staying with Hanna, or Amy, but he had no place of his own. When he couldn’t be with them, he was outdoors, bag tucked under his head. It reminded him of the Nut. Clearly, he hadn’t earned a space. Always so fucking useless. 

Shrugging, Jesse exhaled. It was clear something was bothering him, though it wasn’t unusual for Jesse to appear exhausted. “Uh.. both. Neither. I dunno.” He glanced over at the offer, surveying his friend. Stefan had done nothing but help him since the day they'd met. That wasn’t something Jesse always recognised, but he recognised it now. He nodded in silence, unsure of how to express his gratitude at the suggestions. A couch was surely better than the ground. Plus, Stefan made him feel safe. “Cool. That’s cool.” Unsure of what else to say, Jesse tried for anything. “Uh.. who’s that?” He hadn’t been a part of any renovation efforts, though maybe he should be. He’d always enjoyed making things – working with wood.

Stefan’s smile soon faltered, confused by the question. “Why am I smiling? Just trying to be polite. Does that… offend you?”

Once again, he had her at a loss for words. What the fuck? Not only had he taken responsibility twice, but now he was smiling. A beat later, it dawned on her that he could be messing with her. 

A friend. Her glare had softened, but her frown was still very much in place. “The hell are you smiling about?”

[stefansallvatore]

Stefan raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw that it was his friend sitting outside, but the shock quickly subsided. This was typical Jesse behaviour, he’d learned; and it wasn’t as if a stranger was trespassing his property. Jesse was always welcome. Stefan took a few steps forward, crouching down on the step next to him. “Did you know I live here? Or a lucky guess?” It’d been a while since they’d spoken. “You’re awake early, so my guess is either you can’t sleep or haven’t got anywhere to sleep. If you need a place to stay, I have a perfectly suitable couch, and I’m close with Caroline - I’m sure she could find a place for you once she’s done scaring people into helping fix the town up.”

Considering all of the things that had gone right lately, Jesse should have been happy. Happy enough to not feel anything else for a while, anyway. But when things went well, he knew bad was inevitably on its way, and waiting for it made Jesse restless. It was only a matter of time before everything went to shit again. After another failed attempt at sleep, he took to the streets of Alexandria, watching the sun rise on somebody’s front stoop as he went through cigarette after cigarette. It took him a while to register someone was standing there, and even longer to realise he was sitting on somebody else’s property and he hadn’t been invited to do so. How long had he been there? “– oh, uh.. hey. Mornin’. ‘Sup?”

[stefansallvatore]

The sarcastic response didn’t annoy him. Damon was his brother, he knew how to handle a shady comment or two. “Like I said, it was my mistake. I was too focused on finding a friend.” She didn’t seem hurt, however, so he smiled. In fact, she’d barely moved an inch when they collided, so perhaps she was something similar to him. Not exactly human. 

She’d expected some sort of half-ass excuse, or even a feeble apology, but checking in on her? That actually had thrown her off. Jessica looked away with a roll of her eyes, not sure what to say for a moment. These people were far too nice sometimes. She hadn’t failed to notice his lack of movement either; most people who collided with her found it hard to keep their balance.

“.. Yup. I’m perfect. I love it when strangers run into me. Really makes my day.”

[stefansallvatore]

"So... I know there's not much we can do in way of gifts, but I think when their baby arrives we should at least ---" Stefan had continued on with their conversation briefly before he noticed Scott's diverted attention, the gaze that seemingly lead nowhere. If it were anyone else, Stefan would've chalked it up to disinterest, but Scott always seemed to give his full focus to everyone, especially when Hanna was the topic of discussion. Which lead Stefan to believe it may be exhaustion. The alpha arguably worked harder than anyone, he never gave himself a break. Perhaps it was time someone talked him into getting some rest. "I was talking about a gift for Hanna and Jesse's baby. But we have a few months yet, it's not important right now." Breathing a sigh through his nose, Stefan reached out, hand meeting the top of Scott's shoulder. "'You doing okay?"

Scott hadn't come up for air since the Rebels had moved in to Alexandria. In between council meetings, double shifts at the infirmary, dad duties, alpha duties, boyfriend duties, and just showing up for his mother once in a while, there hadn't been a moment left for anything else. He had so many amends to make, it hadn't seemed to matter. But things were beginning to slip. He'd already begun to overlook those he'd promised to protect, the ones he'd let down before. Clearly, he hadn't learnt his lesson. Stiles' panic attack only a few weeks prior proved as much. Scott hadn't seen it coming, hadn't been there to prevent it, and now, there was no stopping it. Void was still present, threatening to take over when they least expected it, a sinister reminder of one of his biggest failures. Scott continued going through the motions, but he just couldn't shake the coldness that seemed to surround him now, the helplessness he'd worked so hard to overcome creeping its way back in in the silence of the night. Nightmares he'd tried so hard to hide from his family had begun manifesting in the daytime.

He was stood there now, in the middle of a conversation, when he heard a whisper, his name being hissed. Though he did his best to ignore it, the fear was consuming, and he gave in, looking away. A familiar figure slipped around the corner, taunting, a shadow always just out of reach. Scott stared after it, frozen for a moment, mind blank. And then, he suddenly remembered himself, shaking his head in apology. "— Sorry! Sorry, it's... what were you saying?"

[stefansallvatore]

“Oh. My apologies -” Truthfully, Stefan hadn’t been looking where he was going, too focused on finding Jesse to notice the female walking on the same path. “I didn’t mean to knock into you. ‘You okay?”

Jessica was headed god knows where, anywhere that had some fucking peace and quiet, when a sorry stranger ran into her. Her strength meant she didn’t move an inch, but she turned to tell them off anyway. “– hey, watch it.”
