Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being grateful that it was just water falling from the sky?

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"You should seriously start checking it out." She eyed him, thinking he'd probably actually like this, but they'd made it to a table and she pulled out a chair for him. "But first sit, let's build the anticipation a little."

He raised an eyebrow, wondering when she started being courteous to him, but he sat down nonetheless. Obviously something was bothering her. "Did someone you know show up?"

"Oh, God no, though yes, I was totally checking after all the things I've heard," she admitted, climbing onto his lap and crossing her legs.

"It seems I got moved to the second floor. I so am betting the squirrels heard me whining about my closet so now I get to move all my stuff." Because if they liked her, they would've made Nathan move.

His hand ended up hovering over her knee as he got distracted by the news. "You're switching rooms?" The corner of his mouth was tugging up a little, but he fought it as he finally put his hand on her knee. "Who are you rooming with then?"

"I'm not sure, maybe no one." Caroline was watching, almost waiting for him to get excited. "It's weird, right? Like, I just packed up that box to send to my mom."

"Good weird?" he asked, his thumb rubbing the inside of her knee. He wanted to get excited, but maybe she hated the idea.

"I can't decide," she admitted, munching on her cookie thoughtfully. "Really, it's a good thing. It stops all the awkward with Nathan, right? Plus I'm back to the doubled closet space like when he died. What do you think?"

He leaned forward, nuzzling her cheek so she couldn't see his grin. "I think it's awesome," he murmured.

Look, he'd liked the set up of the cabins and before when Nathan had been gone. "No getting high just being inside your room."

She'd figured he'd like it so long as she wasn't paired with some other guy. "Yeah. The smoke was annoying when I wasn't trying to bum one," she agreed with a sigh. "Not the weed. I don't dig the stoner thing. But I will miss knowing that in desperate times there was always booze I could hijack just a few feet away."

He frowned, struggling with the notion that there's something she would miss about Nathan. "You've got me in desperate times," he murmured.

Caroline bit her lip. "I wouldn't use you like alcohol," she promised. That would be seriously awkward no matter what Stefan and Elena did in their free time.

He snorted and rolled his eyes, even if she couldn't see him. "No alcohol or any sort of... drinking."

"What do you mean no alcohol?" Caroline asked, thinking this was her room...

Now he did pull back to look at her. "You don't need to get drunk if something's bothering you, Caroline."

"Oh that is so not what I meant," she told him, sighing in relief. "No, see, alcohol actually alleviates the uh, hunger. So, if I run out or am stretching my supply, a drink or three is helpful."

"Oh," he blinked and that was strange to think of. Alcohol was mostly a bad thing to him. "So maybe you should make your own stash," he suggested.

"Yeah, maybe I can get my super-old-looking boyfriend to help me out," she teased. "Trust me, sweetie, I will do my best to come to you if I have a problem."

Oh right. "I could do that. And my ID's from five years ago so... Not that they card on the island."

He shook his head and rubbed his hand up her thigh. "You better come to me. That's what I'm here for."

Caroline tilted her head in confusion. "You mean you're not just here to fulfill me sexually?"

He laughed and leaned forward to steal a kiss. "Well, that too. This might even make my job easier."

"And it's not your job," she told him, shaking her head with a slight laugh. "Or even why you're here, you know?" She looked up at him, thinking after their conversation the other day he might get what she meant.

He smiled and rested his forehead against hers. Really, they had no shame left. "I want to."

"I know" she nodded happily, not caring that she still had half a cookie in one hand. "Which is why I try to let you."

"You try, huh?" he laughed and his fingers brushed just under the hem of her dress. "So what room will you be in now?"

He was terrible. "I don't know that I should tell you that until I have you carrying my stuff..."
