you knew coming home for summer break from college was going to be a big deal, especially since you didn’t tell anyone including your sister, elena or your lover, damon. as you walk into the grill for the first time in months, you notice a new face at the bar. when you heard him speak you recognized the accent elena had mocked on the phone when describing him, klaus. you do your best to avoid him but he comes up beside you

“so this is the eldest gilbert i’ve heard so much about?”

“yeah, that’s me” you chuckle awkwardly reaching for the necklace around your neck.

“what’s the ‘D’ on your necklace stand for, love?”

you’re taken aback by the question until you hear a familiar deep voice behind you and an arm around your hip “take a guess.”
