feel the noise } { of surprise salvatores and last nights

[braveandstupid]

[And in a series of unfortunate events, Damon decides to crash Ben’s “Meet Mystic Falls” party. This is a bad plan, and he should have known this from the get-go. Yet, he did it anyway.]

Damon: Oh, no, I'm here for the party.

Caroline: [her head snaps up, even though she's far away. She's a vampire, he's a vampire, she doesn't really think it matters that she should fake being able to hear it.] What the hell are you doing here?

Ben: No, everyone I invited is here. [confused, turning to look at Caroline. He's not a vampire and can't hear you but you were planning all this...]

Damon: [places his hands on Ben's shoulders and turns him to face him, trying to make eye contact] Oh, no, I really am supposed to be here. [watch how his eyes dilate as he tries to compel him up until ...]

Caroline: [ ... zooms her way over and grabs him by the arm, before flipping him onto his back. She's not in the mood to be gentle] He's dating Elena and you don't think he's on vervain?

Damon: [winces] Eh, I might have been hoping. Hello to you too, Caroline.

Ben: [just watches, his hand slipping to his back a moment before he stops because no, his gun was in the house right now] Caroline, who the hell is this?

Caroline: [crosses her arms in front of her chest] Ben, this is Damon Salvatore.

Damon: [waves from him position on the beach] Hi.

Ben: Salvatore. Right, not invited in list. Should I call security?

Caroline: No. He's going away.

Damon: Not until I see Elena.

Caroline: Oh my God, really? She's not even dating your brother anymore and you can't let up?

Damon: [pushes up onto his feet] There are things about me and Elena that you're not privy to, Caroline, and I'm not holding that against you, but I. Am Not. Leaving. Until I see Elena. [he shoos her with his hands] You go. I'll stay with the boyfriend.

Ben: No, you're not seeing Elena. If she wanted you here, she'd have invited you. Call next time. [and he moves to leave with Caroline]

Damon: [hand reaches out and grabs the back of his neck, before drawing him back in closer again] I'm willing to bet that you don't have one of those handy dandy Gilbert rings so tell me, Caroline, what happens if I snap this one's neck?

Caroline: What happens if I snap yours?

Damon: Mmmmm - I'm probably faster. In fact, I'm willing to bet I could snap his and yours and make it to the front door to Elena and really, that would be such a waste of a good rockstar, don't you -

Elena: Damon, let him go. [yep, that's one angry doppelganger who was wandering outside to find out what's taking so long to find her boyfriend being held hostage by an old complication]

Damon: [grins as he let's Ben go.] See! That's all I wanted. Just to say hello.

Ben: [rubs his heck because ow... and he grabs Elena's arm to keep her from getting too close. he may be the weakest of the group, but he isn't going to let Damon get near her.]

Elena: [doesn't push ahead of him, just glances to him in concern, one hand following his to the back of his neck] Are you okay?

Caroline: [is just going to stay between him and Elena. She may even threaten to have Tyler bite him. It would be worth it to watch him deteriorate.]

Ben: Yeah, I'm fine. Just pinched it at bit. I just want this asshole off my property.

Elena: [nods before turning back to him] What do you want, Damon?

Damon: I need to talk to you. It can't wait and you won't take my calls, so I decided to crash.

Ben: [looks back to the house, tempted to go and get his gun. He can see why Salvatore is on the do not invite list] Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you. Take a hint?

Damon: Yeah, well, she'll want to talk to me about this.

Elena: And so you threaten my boyfriend because you think that will work?

Damon: It's about Klaus, Elena. Would you make it feel better if Ric knew I was here?

Elena: Ric would have called.

Damon: I got here faster. Look, he wants me off his property, fine. We'll talk. Over there. [he points in a vague way to the property line] Once we're finished, I'll go. No harm, no foul.

Ben: [eyes widen a bit at the mention of Klaus. He looks at Elena because he knows that may be bad, but he doesn't want it to be a trick either to get her somewhere this Salvatore could take her away from him]

Elena: [she glances back at him before giving his hand a squeeze] I'll be right back, okay? I'll be fine. [as much of a dick as Damon is, she knows he'd never hurt her - at least not physically]

Ben: [sighs, then nods. He looks over at Caroline] You'll watch over them? [because he knows he can't really be of use here]

Caroline: [nods, before glancing back to Damon with a glare.]

Elena: [moves down to grab his arm and drag him over the property line, before promptly slapping him hard across the face. he deserved it.]

Ben: [storms back up the beach. Tyler and Matt are both looking down at the interaction. He moves past them into the house and going for his room to find the gun]

Jeremy: [having followed] That's not going to work on him.

Ben: I'll feel better having it on me.

Jeremy: Does Elena know?

Ben: [shakes his head] No. But I guess she'll find out.

Elena: ... can't just come in here and interrupt my life anymore, Damon.

Damon: I know. I wouldn't if I didn't have good reason, and you know that.

Elena: [lineface] What are you doing here? And don't tell me it's about Klaus, because if it was, Ric would have called.

Damon: [makes a bit of a face, before shaking his head] Stefan found Rebekah. In New York. Apparently she and Klaus had a falling out, so all that is left between you and Klaus in New Orleans is Elijah, and we know how effective that is.

Elena: Elijah and I have a deal.

Damon: Elijah never keeps his deals, Elena!

Elena: This one he will.

Jeremy: [putting a hand on Ben's shoulder] You shoot him, he will kill you, Ben. Damon's not the stablest of people.

Ben: I'm not just going to sit back and let him think he can push me around.

Jeremy: This isn't the time or place. [he puts hands on Ben's shoulders] Trust me, okay? We've been dealing with him a lot longer and know what he's like.

Damon: [takes a deep breath and a step closer, one hand coming down to rest against her elbow] I know you said you didn't want me around anymore, and I get that, but Klaus is going to come for you one day. And that little human boyfriend of yours isn't going to be able to protect you.

Elena: That's the thing you never got, Damon. I don't need someone to protect me. I can protect myself. [she takes a step back] Thanks for the warning. But I think I can handle it from here.

Damon: Elena ...

Elena: Goodnight, Damon. Just ... go. [and with that, she'll head back to the house, looking really tired]

Ben: [scowls, still tucking the gun away and pulling his over shirt over it.] Fine. But in case he's not the only uninvited guest, I'm not going to be taken off guard again. [storms past Jeremy back downstairs to wait at the French doors leading to the beach]

Jeremy: [sighs and follows]

Damon: [watches her as she walks away from him, but before she reaches the door, he zooms away into the darkness.]

Elena: [keeps walking towards him, and when she sees Ben she heads right to him, reaching for him to pull him closer] Are you sure you're okay?

Ben: [his body is tense and he looks towards the darkness before nodding] Yeah, I'm fine.

Elena: I'm sorry about him. Damon is ... that's one of the reasons I wanted him to stay away.

Ben: What'd he have to say about Klaus?

Jeremy: [walks out behind Ben, stopping at that word. Matt and Tyler's ears also perk and come walking over.]

Elena: [shakes her head] He's just worried. Said something about Rebekah being in New York and my last line of defense being Elijah, which is ... how it always was. He just wanted an excuse to see me.

Tyler: Yeah, well need I remind you Elijah tends to not really have as much control over Klaus that any of you want to think he does?

Elena: [flashes Tyler a bit of a look] Elijah and I have a deal and I'm holding up my end. He doesn't know where I am.

Matt: But how long's that going to last. I mean, no offense Ben, but what you two got going on isn't going to stay hidden forever after Ben's back in the spotlight at on tours.

Ben: [gives Matt a look, then scowls] They're right, you know. Unless we don't see each other for the nine months I'm gone, the second you join me on tour, the world will know.

Elena: [her jaw sets and she knows they're right, but she also wishes she didn't have to care about these things. She glances away for a moment.] I'm not going to let him dictate how I live my life.

Ben: And there's no way to take this Klaus guy out? [he looks at the rest of the group, but the guys just shake their heads]

Elena: [quietly] If we kill Klaus, every vampire turned from his bloodline dies. Caroline and Tyler are part of that.

Ben: Incapacitate? I mean, what, he's immortal, dump him in a hole and fill it with cement for a few hundred years

Elena: [softly] We've tried. He always has a way out.

Ben: [is just very, very frustrated and angry and looking every inch a Winchester] So eventually this guy is going to figure it out and we can do nothing about it. Great.

Elena: There isn't nothing. [she tries to get him to just look at her] He's been staying away from me for ten years. This doesn't mean he's going to show up here anytime soon.

Ben: [he does, and he's scared. So scared and trying not to look it. Matt sees it and motions for the others to leave them be a bit before Ben speaks again] You don't know that. For all we know he could be just a few feet away ready to grab you.

Elena: He's not going to just grab me. I'm not the helpless little doppelganger I used to be. I may not be able to seriously hurt him but I can hold my own.

Ben: But what'll stop him from using me like that guy did. What then? I won't let him use me to get to you.

Elena: [she exhales slowly, closing her eyes] Honestly? He'd go for Jeremy first. But he won't get that far.

Ben: You don't know that. Hoping that some guy is going to keep a promise to you over his brother isn't making me feel all that safe right now.

Elena: You don't know Elijah. If anything, he'd warn me before Klaus was coming so that we could be prepared.

Ben: [just nods, rubbing his neck] If you're sure about that...

Elena: I'm more than sure.

Ben: Alright then. If you're sure, I'm sure.

Elena: Good. Just trust me. [leans into the kiss him softly] Every thing is going to be okay.

Ben: [kisses her back, but she'll notice the steal against his back if she goes to hug him while kissing him]

Elena: [she does notice and she pulls back in confusion] What's that?

Ben: A gun. [so honest] Figure I need some of my own protection too.

Elena: Were you going to use this on Damon?

Ben: Jeremy told me it wouldn't work. But what else do I have to protect myself with?

Elena: Ben, he would have killed you.

Ben: Yeah, Jeremy told me that too. Notice I stayed on this side of the doorway until he left

Elena: [sighs and places her hands on his shoulders] I'm sorry about him. I really am.

Ben: Good thing you gave me this bracelet because Caroline noticed he was trying to compel me too.

Elena: [grits her teeth] I'm going to kill him.

Ben: You won't see me stopping you.

Elena: [sighs as she pulls him over to sit] Damon is complicated and reckless and unpredictable. And I cared about him a lot once upon a time, but that time isn't here anymore.

Ben: He obviously hasn't gotten over you. [sits next to her, still worried]

Elena: Damon doesn't get over anyone. The last woman he was in love with he was in love with for one hundred forty five years.

Ben: Great.

Elena: But he knows where I stand and what I want. He's just impulsive.

Ben: What about his brother? The one you did date.

Elena: Stefan is in New York and far, far away from here. He also has a lot more control over his impulse issues.

Ben: [sitting there, looking at his hands in his lap] I don't like feeling threatened like that.

Elena: Hey. [her hands reach forward and cover his] I don't like it either. But Damon is dangerous and shooting him with bullets is only going to make him mad.

Ben: I'd make me feel better.

Elena: Right before he snapped your neck?

Ben: He was going to do it anyway. [and that brings up something else] And what is this Gilbert ring he was talking about to Caroline?

Elena: [she sighs] One of my ancestors had these enchanted rings that can bring someone back if they were killed by a supernatural creature. There were two - Jeremy has one and Alaric has the other.

Ben: Any chance there's a third one hidden somewhere? Might make my dad feel better.

Elena: [shakes her head] No. The witch who made them died a long time ago.

Ben: Oh.

Elena: But you are not going to die.

Ben: Elena, I love you, but that's one of the things in life that is guaranteed to happen. Like taxes.

Elena: [straightens a bit, eyebrows going up. She's choosing to focus on the first part of that sentence rather than how death was guaranteed - she knows that all too well. Instead a small smile creeps across her face] You love me?

Ben: [he bites his lips, shaking his head.] I thought that was pretty obvious.

Elena: [grin widens] Well, maybe a little, but I don't think I've heard you actually say it before.

Ben: You're trying to distract me from this very serious topic. [but it was working and he was smiling just a bit]

Elena: I think this is a very serious topic. Very important. Especially because I love you too.

Ben: [his grin just grows] Glad to see the feeling is mutual. [and he ran his hand along her cheek before kissing her]

Tyler: [having been listening in, just looks at Caroline because he knows she is listening in too and chuckles] Looks like we're not going to see them the rest of the night.

Caroline: [takes a deep breath as she turn to grab Matt] I think we should take this party elsewhere.

Elena: [grins into the kiss, pulling him closer as she did]

Tyler: [arms over Bonnie and Jeremy] Let's go for a walk on the beach, shall we?

Ben: [slides right up next to her, his arms going around her.]

Bonnie: [sighs heavily] If we must.

Elena: [hums softly into the kiss, sliding her fingers through his hair]

Jeremy: We could go get some coffee...

Ben: [has no idea what the others are doing as he's just enjoying kissing his girlfriend and running his hands up along her sides]

Caroline: Coffee! I like the coffee idea.

Elena: [yep. Ignoring everyone else. Will totally keep making out with her boyfriend on the couch]

Jeremy: Good. Let's go. [because his friend is working after getting pulled in last minute]

Ben: [needs to send thank you letter to his designer for these amazing couches out here that are just so comfy to lean back on while pulling his girlfriend into his lap]

[And with their friends gone, they made love to each other under the stars and curled up under blankets to sleep the night away.]

Ben: [cuddles closer to her during the night]

Elena: [hums softly as she leans into him] Think they'll be mad at us for inadvertently kicking them out?

Ben: [kisses her shoulder] Probably. But you're going to be the one to hear about it...

Elena: [she laughs] Probably. But I think it was totally worth it.

Ben: Good. Because it was really worth it for me.

Elena: Good. [her eyes close as she relaxes against him. She hasn't felt this content and safe in a long time. it feels good]

Ben: [his hands run along her stomach, keeping her close] I'm going to go crazy while on tour not having you next to me.

Elena: [hums softly] There are these things called phones, you know. We can still talk.

Ben: Not the same as this.

Elena: [turns to face him a little more] No, not the same. But better than not talking at all.

Ben: True. I hope you have unlimited talk and text on that phone.

Elena: [she nods with a laugh] I do. Don't worry.

Ben: Good. [he gave her a small kiss, fitting her up against his body nice] It's going to be a very frustrating nine months.

Elena: [grins a bit into the kiss, but doesn't pull away] Just think of how we'll make up for lost time after.

Ben: Yeah, I'm just going to kidnap you for a week. At least.

Elena: When does the tour finish?

Ben: Mid March.

Elena: [she smiles a bit at that, as she kisses him teasingly] Spring break.

Ben: [enjoys that kiss] And then hopefully I won't have to go to Europe for a tour.

Elena: That would be awful. [she only breaks the kiss long enough to speak before she leans in to kiss him again]

Ben: [mmm, yeah he is going to miss her a lot. His body was already missing her and showing her as those kisses got deeper] Completely awful.

Elena: [she was going to miss him too, and she pushes closer, her hips rising to meet his in return] We should also take advantage of this time while we have it.

Ben: I completely agree. I'm pretty sure your friends went to the hotel at this point.

Elena: Good. [her leg slips over his hip slowly] So I have you to myself.

Ben: Just you, me and the heavens.

Elena: Sounds perfect.

Ben: [rolls slowly to his back, pulling her on top of him, his hips pressing against hers teasingly] Something to remember for those long, cold nights ahead of me on a tour bus.

Elena: [grins a bit as she settles, leaning in to kiss him again as her hips press back against him]

Ben: [his hands explore her body as he kisses her, taking his time. they don't have to rush like this]

Elena: [no they don't. The kisses are slow and lazy and as she moves on top of him, and with slow even thrusts to try and make things last as long as possible.]

Ben: [groans, moving with her, distracting himself with her lips so that he doesn't go too fast.]

Elena: [as much as she would love to draw it out all night if she could, eventually her body needs more, and she breaks the kiss to push herself up slightly, changing the angle and moving her hips a little faster]

Ben: [which pushes him in deep, making him groan] Oh god...

Elena: [she sucks in a breath, before she starts to pick up her speed against him, panting softly as she does.]

Ben: [he shifts, bending his knees and planting his feet in the sand, giving him leverage to thrust harder into her. It shifts the blanket, revealing her a bit more so his hand went to grasp her breast, massaging it and playing with her nipple to tease her just the more]

Elena: [she moans softly as she leans into his hands, bracing her hands on his shoulders to try and give her better leverage] Ben ...

Ben: Let it go. I want to see you. [his fingers squeeze her nipple tighter]

Elena: [it's not much longer after that before she can feel herself falling over the edge, her body tensing against his with a soft cry]

Ben: [he watched, focusing on his breathing to not follow her this time. He wasn't aiming on ending this anytime soon, even if he was edging on madness with how her body gripped him. He was still nice and hard against her when she came down, his lips wrapping around her nipple to soothe away the pain he may have caused]

Elena: [her arms feel a bit like jelly and his lips against her doesn't help. She lowers herself slowly, letting him take her weight as she threads her fingers through his hair and pulling him in for a kiss again]

Ben: [he kisses back as he wraps an arm around her, rolling them so that he was on top of her this time.] You're so beautiful, Elena.

Elena: [she sighs as she settles under him, smiling softly at the compliment before leaning in to kiss him again]

Ben: [he kisses her, then slowly starts to kiss down along her jaw to her neck, taking his time and enjoying every inch of her]

Elena: [her head tips back to expose her neck to him more, her legs tightening against his hips]

Ben: [his fingers slipped between them, finding her hot spot and rubbing at it as he started short thrusts again]

Elena: [there's a sharp breath at that, her fingers curling against his shoulder, and while she feels a little tense she doesn't stop him] Slow ... [she's still a little sensitive from the first time]

Ben: Okay. [he kisses her a bit, slowing his fingers down.]

Elena: [she relaxes slightly into the kiss, and the slower strokes help. Eventually her hips push up into his fingers again, giving him the silent signal to continue]

Ben: Here, let me try something. [He shifts a bit, and guides one of her legs up from his hips and to his shoulder.]

Elena: [which he can do easily because Elena is super flexible. Another reason she is an awesome girlfriend. But as she shifts, she gasps a bit as the angle changes within her]

Ben: Like that? [he's grinning evilly]

Elena: [nods a bit, shifting her hips just a bit with a moan to get it perfect] There.

Ben: [he wrapped an arm around her leg, and started to thrust harder.]

Elena: [she arches back against the patio, one hand gripping into the blankets while the other had her nails digging into his arm]

Ben: That's my girl [he groans, speeding up and letting himself find his rhythm until he was panting, thrusting himself as deep into her as he could.]

Elena: [is mostly holding on for the ride at this point, she can't meet his motions much from this angle, but she's meeting his panting with moans of her own, feeling herself build closer and closer to the edge]

Ben: [it isn't long before he's there, giving a cry as he went over the edge, thrusting hard into her as his orgasm washed over him]

Elena: [she's not far after him, feeling herself fall as he lets go, her nails digging even harder into his arm]

Ben: [her leg keeps him from collapsing on her, but he smiles down at her, panting]

Elena: [after a moment, she shifts her leg off his shoulder, giving him room to move away if he wanted]

Ben: [moves to the side, pulling the blanket back over top of both of them and curling up against her] Nope, cancelling the tour. Don't want to go nine months with you.

Elena: [laughs softly] When is the tour coming to Iowa?

Ben: Olivia's birthday week.

Elena: So that's only eight months.

Ben: Eight long months.

Elena: I think you can make it.

Ben: I will do it for my fans.

Elena: You are so good to them. [she gets out just as she starts to yawn]

Ben: They better appreciate all I'm sacrificing. [pulls her closer to him]

Elena: [nods as she curls into him and her eyes close] I'm sure they do.

Ben: [kisses the top to her head and closes his eyes] I think it's naptime.

Elena: [her head nods a bit at that before she slowly drifts off to sleep]
