 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ As soon as Kailan's screaming started, Tate clamped his eyes shut. He'll never get used to the sound of it, but he had to deal. He wasn't sure whether or not to feel upset about Elena taking off like that. He told her to go, she had to go, he just didn't know if her running meant that she was afraid of him. He felt like one of the guys from those sappy movies watching the girl of his dreams run away from him. "Elena, I'm sorry!" He called out after her. He was ready to run in the opposite direction when a pain shot through his body light lightening and he screamed. s**t. If you asked Tate how it felt to be a werewolf, he would probably tell you how amazing it is but how it came with the price of regular changes with the moon. Tate collapsed has his back arched and he let out more screams and howls of agony. It sounded like someone was getting murdered. His back was arched, razor sharp nails busted from the tips of his fingers and toes, and his body was growing too large for his clothes and the tattered pieces of fabric began to fall around him. At least Elena couldn't see this and that's all that mattered. Tate watched as it happened to Kailan the first time around and he would never get the images out of his head. Tate never had full control as a wolf but he had enough to stop him from doing things so, as he stood there as a full wolf, he took off in the opposite direction of Elena. He just couldn't hurt her.
♣ The morning came on and Tate remembered everything before changing but not much afterwards. He had no blood on him, which was good. If anyone were to stumble upon him right now, they'd probably think he was the aftermath of a bad acid trip. Tate was naked and dirty, stumbling around in search for where he usually kept the duffel bag. He eventually found it and got changed and as cleaned as possible with the wipes in his disposal. After he was all dressed, the boy trekked as fast as he could to where his sister was chained up. Surprisingly, Tate didn't have that big of an issue with seeing his sister naked, but that didn't mean that he stared at her. " I hate you" he huffed, dropping the duffel bag in front of Kailan and going to unchain her from her tree. "What were you thinking with that? I could've killed her!" Tate knew that yelling at Kailan straight after the morning of changing would be like yelling at someone who was hung over so he took the opportunity to be as loud as he willed himself to go. " She was scared! She ran away! From me!" Even if he wanted to be mad, his volume died down immediately at the realizing that there could be a chance that this scared Elena away for good. " You told me to trust you... I would have preferred texting her and her not believing me to her seeing me like this!" Tate gripped his hair frustratingly. Usually, he would be munching on one of the sandwiches that they packed but he was too stressed to even consider eating. He didn't even drink from his water bottle.

Lifting her head up at the sound of movements, she saw Tate arrive. Remembering her actions the previous night, Kailan sighed and slowly sat up to collect the duffle bag that Tate threw down. Reaching in a pocket in the duffle bag, she grabbed the keys to opening the chains that wrapped around her. "Calm down," she muttered, too tired and too aching to fight. "She's not scared," confessed Kailan, reaching in the bag to grab the two sandwiches that she prepared for them last night. "After she ran off from you, she ran here and saw my back when it was rearranging my spine into a wolf. That's pretty. She wanted to make sure that I was alright. I told her to make sure that the chains were latched onto the walls, and she did." Kailan gnawed a first bite into her sandwich. "Elena wanted to make sure I was okay. I made that move because you were worried that she would freak out. If you known that she was coming, your wolf would've stressed out and killed her. Considering that she came here alive, I think that you got control of your wolf." Kailan knew that Tate was pissed at her; it's not the first. Certainly won't be the last. "Now she knows. She didn't run from me. I mean, she did when she saw that I was beginning to change. I told her to run. She listened, smart girl. You might want to stop by our place first before you run over to her house. I got to do some things before I go home."

  Elena waited at Tate's house. It was morning now, and she must've fallen asleep on the couch, but she waited for as long as she could. She tried to erase the screams from her head, but it was hard. Even to this day, it was hard to forget when Tyler screamed. Ash kindly woke Elena up and showed that he had a cup of coffee in his hands for her. A small, thankful smile appeared on her lips before she sat herself up and accepted the drink. When Ash walked off to get himself some, Elena felt her smile falter and heaved out a deep breath. "So, Tate and Kailan are werewolves?"
"Yeah.." ruefully admitted Ash.
Elena blinked and let her thumb brush against the cup's side. "Scratched or born?" Elena asked, looking at the black liquid in her hands.
Ash looked to Elena, surprised that she would ask that question. She acted as if it was common, and any other girl would've been scared shitless, but Elena was taking this very well. "Scratched. Both. Our dad wouldn't marry a woman who was a werewolf."
Then Elena got defensive. "Why not? Just because they are victims to the moon, doesn't mean that they shouldn't be loved. Or that they should be hunted down. Your dad is a sick man if he thinks so other wise. It's not their fault."
Ash lowered his head at his drink, much like Elena did, and sighed. "Yeah.."

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ Tate sighed and left his sister. He'd just got home, take a quick shower to get completely clean, and then go to Elena. Maybe bring her flowers or something, just to ease the tension with what happened. Kailan could say that Elena wasn't scared but Tate saw her before she ran off. Seeing her scared broke his heart, you know? He didn't want that for her, he didn't want to scare her, that was the last thing the boy would even want. Before Tate left Kailan, he gave his sister a kiss on top of her head. " We've got to put more distance between us, your scream...." he didn't need to elaborate on it. He didn't like hearing his sister scream like that. It made him wish that there was something he could do for her to help her. " I'll catch you later"
♣Tate went straight home and nearly had a heart attack when he entered and saw Ash and Elena...there..with coffee. Like normal people. Tate grew pale faced at the sight of Elena. Immediately, his eyes went to her ankle. He wanted to ask her if she was okay but all he could do was stand there and stare. "I...." he started, not really knowing what to say. He's rehearsed this a number of times inside of his head but nothing went according to the way it worked in his head. Ash slowly left the room, giving Elena and Tate some privacy. "I-I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to find out like this. A-An Alpha was what flipped your car and I was freaking out because I didn't know how to protect you well enough from the Alphas without telling you about me and I was going to text it to you, I seriously thought of that, but my sister had some master plan that she didn't tell me and I didn't know that she was going to tell you to come meet me. I'm so sorry. I can tell you everything you want to know just please don't stop being my friend. I-" The boys gaze immediately went back to Elena's ankle but the boy stood still where he was, practically rooted to the floor. He didn't know if she'd want him near her or not. " Are you okay? What happened?"

  Elena turned her head to face the door when hearing someone walk in. It was just Tate. Kailan wasn't with him. Not questioning it, Elena simply placed the cup of coffee on the coffee table, next to her foot. She brushed some strand of her hair behind her ear before resting the corner of her chin against her palm. Her gaze was lowered as she listened to Ash's footsteps slowly die into his room. When Tate admitted that he didn't want her to find out the way she did last night, she nodded her head and lifted her head away from her palm to speak. "I know." Dropping her hands on her lap, she faced the door again, where Tate seemed to still stand. Elena swallowed at his ending question and reached out a hand for him to grab. "C'mere.." she said, nudging for him to sit next to her. When Tate obeyed, and sat beside her, Elena grabbed his hand and kissed the back of his hand before letting it rest on her lap. "I know about werewolves.. I also know that there are vampires." Elena didn't know what Tate referred to when he said Alpha, she assumed that it was the leader of his pack or something. "It's fine. You don't have to be sorry. I understand. I get why you did what you had to do. I probably would've done the same." Kissing the back of his hand again, Elena sighed. "Don't worry about my ankle. I just tripped in the forest. Nothing broken. Just a sprain." Elena shrugged as if it was nothing. "I'm not going anywhere, Tate, I promise. You're my best friend. Your werewolf curse isn't going to change that."

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ Tate didn't know how to feel. He was relieved that she seemed to accept him enough to still acquire physical contact. Tate sat beside her and let her talk to him and kiss his hand. So much for actually making a move. There was too many issues right now to want to be suave and make a move on her. This wasn't some kind of cheesy movie, Elena just called his werewolf nature a curse, there was no way in hell that she'd find him even more attractive right now. But she knew that vampires were real too. Tate figured that much but he never really knowingly came into contact with one before. Tate looked at Elena with sad eyes. "I-If it helps, i was going to buy you flowers to help with the apology.... I didn't know that you'd actually come here" Now that he thought about it, he had told her to come here last night. "I still feel like s**t" he said. It would take a while for them to get over this, for him to get used to this. Elena finally knew, though, one less thing for him to stress over. "I'm sorry if i scared you last night, i didn't mean to"

  Elena felt a smile tug at her lips when Tate admitted that he was going to bring flowers to amp up the apology he was going to give her later. She didn't need flowers. Just the truth from his mouth, and that's what she got. When he confessed that he didn't think that she would come to his home, Elena grown confused. He was the one who told her to wait at his house, or to just go. Honestly, Elena was going to go to her house, but wanted Tate to see her face in the morning, and to know that she was okay and fine with him being a werewolf. Elena knew that nothing will get back to the way things were, and as much as she wanted that, it would damn near be impossible. But Elena was fine with that. Now they opened up a new chapter in their lives. "You didn't scare me. I was just worried about you. And the thought of losing you scared me." Elena looked to Tate and let out a deep sigh, knowing that she would need to come clean with just about everything. "Klaus is a hybrid. Y'know: werewolf slash vampire. He's trying to build a big hybrid army, but he needs my blood for it to be completed. See, I.. I was a part of this ritual he had to make his hybrid thing work. My aunt was a part of that ritual too. It involved a werewolf, a vampire, and.. me. A doppelganger. We had to die." Elena was hesitant to tell Tate about this now, but he needed to know. "I.. died. But Bonnie is a witch. So she used her magic to bring me back to life. When Klaus tried to make a hybrid, they would drink human blood, but die out because they were bleeding everywhere.. They needed to drink my blood.. Because I didn't die in the ritual." Elena sighed heavily and brought his hand to her lips, but didn't kiss it this time. Just to feel the warmth of his skin before she could continue. Just to tell herself that he was still here, much like she still was. Dropping his hand on her lap again, their fingers still linked, Elena continued. "Klaus has a family locked away. The only way he can get his family is to have my blood. So, I'm his walking blood bank. And I'm always in danger. Not now, though, I didn't think so because I threatened to turn myself into a vampire if his hybrids gotten anywhere close to me. He knocked me out once, and compelled the hospital to take my blood. He only made a few minions. And I thought that they were out of town, but I think one attacked me the night before last night.. With the car, and, Tate, I'm sorry, I should've told you the truth too." Elena gripped his hand, afraid that he would run like she did. "I have more to tell.. But I want you to know that I'm not going anywhere. Are you?"

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ He kept up with Elena's story as much as possible. He sat there quietly, nodding to everything. He had heard something about Hybrids from his father once but he barely listened to what his father said about creatures. In Tate's mind, his father spent too many nights hitting the bottle for him to be taken seriously. But Tate wasn't surprised by much until Elena basically said that she was the key to life to hybrids and that was because she was a doppelganger. He thought it was nice that they were telling all right here and now instead of prolonging it but Tate knew that he would eventually mourn for the normalcy that they had prior to last night. But this was good, they were getting it all out of their system. Tate only had being a werewolf on his plate but Elena.....she had so much. But he wasn't going to run from her. Tate gave Elena's hand a squeeze. "Nah. I've been dealing with this for a while, i'm sure that I can handle your stuff also" Tate took a deep breath before speaking. " Before you continue....it wasn't a Hybrid, okay? When you're a werewolf, there's different types. Alpha, Omega, Beta, stuff like that. The alphas are the most dangerous, they're pack leaders. Well, recently a whole pack of werewolves came to Mystic Falls and they're...all...alphas. I don't know what I wanted with you, maybe it was just causing trouble for the fun of it, but it's not happening again. I promise, that won't happen again." Tate felt like he owed her to tell her that. He couldn't have her believing it was one thing when it was really another. " Don't apologize for not telling me any of this, okay? This stuff isn't exactly what you tell people when you first meet. It's a lot to handle and it's...a mess. It's really a mess." Tate leaned over and gave Elena a kiss on the cheek, then on her temple. He always gave Kailan a kiss when he was worried, it was a bad habit but it somehow kept his sanity when he was worried about things. It was almost as if the kiss was reassuring him that everything was going to be alright. " I think you should know that I wouldn't ever hurt you. I-I can't do that. Kailan, she can do that, that's why we chain her up but I've never hurt someone and I can't even imagine that happening." Tate shook his head. When this werewolf thing first came around, that was all he could worry about hurting people. He kind of made it a personal philosophy to never hurt someone in or out the wolf. Tate rested his head on the back on the chair and looked at Elena. " Okay. I think we can continue with your side of all this"

  Elena didn't know that there was a werewolf system. The only difference between an Original and a vampire is that the Original is the Mikaelsons, and they are the first vampires to ever been known. Well, Klaus's mother had an affair with one of the werewolf tribes, so when being shifted into a vampire, he was actually a hybrid. But a witch put a lock on his werewolf side to where it wouldn't be revealed at a full moon and he would only bare his teeth as a vampire would. Elena heard of Omegas and Betas, werewolves such as that, but never thought that it applied here. An Alpha wasn't one that she heard, and as Tate explained it, Elena's sight on werewolves changed. It would make sense now that it was an Alpha rather than a hybrid considering Klaus looked terribly confused when Elena accused him strongly on the matter regarding the car crash and assumed happily that it was a hybrid, also reminded him of her threat. She could off herself anytime with vampire blood in her system, and look his precious Doppelganger blood and let it be replaced with vampire blood, thus creating chaos in his perfect world of hybrids where they will be no more. Elena inhaled a deep breath through her nose and nod when Tate assured her that she shouldn't stress about not telling him. She still felt rather guilty. Even when he pressed his lips against her cheek and then her temple. Didn't stop the small smile that etched on her sharp features. The way he kept acting with her, the way they act together was as if they were dating. They could fool someone. Elena knew that Tate could never lay a finger on her, but his wolf could disagree. But when Tate explained about Kailan, Elena pieced it together. Elena did run to Kailan and saw that she was chained up in a cellar out in the woods. It was sad. Watching as her body rearranged, her cries of pain, and her howls rolling in with her screams. She was so hurt, so upset, and so angry. Elena couldn't imagine that with Tate. She didn't want to imagine that. The thought of Tate bent over in pain, crying out through all the rough edges, and doing just about whatever he can to howl out with hurt. Elena knew that she would never unsee that image if she ever did come across it.
"No, no.. It's not all about me, Tate. It's you too. It's our mess now. I just know that.. I could never imagine you transitioning into a werewolf. All that.." It was as if Elena dozed off, shaking her head occasionally with worry as she visualized Kailan, but with Tate chained and hurting. "... that pain. All that torture. How you have to suffer through the breaking.." Elena closed her eyes and lowered her head, exhaling a deep, upsetting breath. However, as if she didn't bring up such dark subject, she opened her eyes, looked to Tate like no eyes has ever did. "You're amazing, Tate Monroe. You're so strong. You're handsome. You're.. Tate." A smile tugged at the corner of Elena's lips. "We missed first period of class," admitted Elena, but didn't show any signs of wanting to go to school. It was Monday. "I think we need this day to ourselves. No school today. Just us. You and me." Elena looked over at her ankle and winced slightly. "I'll ask Bonnie later to fix this for me."

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ Tate shook his head at Elena when she got into his change for the full moon. It wasn't fair to her that she was aware of that. It wasn't so bad to him anymore. Yes, it hurt like a b***h, it made him want to put a bullet through his head, but it was only a brief period of pain before...freedom, he guessed. An animal like freedom. But he didn't want to be praised for what he went through, he didn't have much of a choice for it. It was either go through the pain or kill himself - and the latter wasn't exactly something he wanted to think about. " I'm just like any other werewolf..." he said quietly. That's how he felt. He was no different from his sister. He was a little different from the alphas but they all shared the same pain. At the mention of school, Tate groaned. " I'm just about ready to take off this whole week" He muttered. Sometimes Tate took off days at a time and, since Ash was the oldest, he made Ash call in with 'health issues'. Technically it was health issues but he couldn't tell the school that he was recovering from a full moon. But he was all for spending the day just him and Elena. And, due to her ankle, he was pretty sure that they weren't going anywhere until she got it fixed. But that's okay, he didn't mind spending the day playing house. Tate looked down at Elena's ankle. " Does it hurt? I can help with that. I-I can't fix it but....you got it because of me" He had learned that he could take some physical pain away from people but he rarely had an occasion to try it. " Since we know all this stuff about each other now...... If I'd ask you to leave town with me, would you? Jeremy aside, he can go back to where he was and I can make sure he's fine but if I need you to leave town, could you? I don't know what those Alphas would do but chances are they're going to kill me eventually and I don't want you caught up in that" He said it so lightly, he had a whole day to meditate on it. He could die in this but he wanted to make sure that she was fine and that she could be protected. " I think you should stay here on full moons with Ash. Or maybe Ash can just werewolf proof your house a little. That could work, too. But we've got time for that stuff...." Not really. Tate was on edge that another Alpha attack could happen and he wanted to keep the people around him safe - even Jeremy who he just met. Elena was doing so much for him by being so calm about all this, he needed to make sure she was okay. Tate let go of Elena's hand and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her as tightly as possible without hurting her. " Thank you....." he said before inhaling deeply and letting go. " Are you hungry? I'm starving. I couldn't eat before I got here.... Do you want Chinese or something? We can order in. I can build us a comfy nest out of blankets and pillows and we can just eat and watch Netflix. We need the relaxation day..." Maybe Tate was going a little over the top but he really felt the need to make this up to her.

  Elena pondered over Tate's questions as to if she were to leave town with him. Often, she's been told to abandon ship and drive out miles away to free herself from all the damnation of Klaus and his cunning hybrids. But Katherine ran for 500 years, and thought she remained under radar now, she slips up now and then. Elena, however, believed that she and Tate could make a run for it. With Jeremy right beside them, even Kailan and Ash. Their family could get away from all the pain. Elena knew Bonnie would gladly tell Elena to do so, and that she could hold up her own. Caroline would state that this would be for the best. The Salvatores will never know until they realize they have not seen Elena for days. But to leave from all this; Elena would say yes as if she was being proposed. Immediately and happily. "I would," said Elena in a gentle tone, letting her hand rest atop of his own. "Me and you." When Tate released Elena's hands and hugged her, Elena immediately returned the big embrace. She hugged him just as tight, something she wanted to do this whole time. She wanted to hold him, never let go, and stay like this. But they did let go and Tate listed out what they could do for the day. With a chuckle, Elena patted Tate's leg and told him, "Netflix sounds great. Chinese sounds awesome: white rice and sesame chicken. And if you just get a blanket and sit here with me, that's fine. Today is ours. We steal the day away with whatever we want." Reaching up, Elena placed a kiss on Tate's cheek, much like how she did last night when waking up from her unconscious self. With a smile, Elena assured him, "Just in case." Poking his chest briefly, for a moment, Elena warned him, "But we are definitely doing the car wash thing today. Caroline and Bonnie will kill me if I don't do it and I will not suffer through it alone." With a chuckle, Elena kept her hands to herself and let them sit on her lap.

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ " Car Wash? Elena, your ankle is sprained and you're thinking of a car wash?" Tate grinned and rolled his eyes at his friend. " Alright, fine. We've got to please her royal highness Miss Mystic Falls" Tate got up at looked at Elena. " I'm gonna order the Chinese then take a shower because my night was not the best and I feel like forest" Tate winked at Elena before going to do his promises. He ordered the food, took a quick shower, and jumped out of his window - he didn't inform her about that last one. But he had good reason! When the boy came back into the house no more than 5 minutes later, her produced a flower to Elena. " I wanted to get you flowers and you deprived me of the privilege so take this!" Tate smiled at her happily and wiggled the flower in his hand. Well, it wasn't the bouquet he intended on getting her but a pretty carnation from him neighbor's yard could suffice until another opportunity to surprise her comes up. " The Chinese should be here soon. But I'm clean now so that's really the best part of all this. A fresh Tate is a good Tate" Tate smiled at Elena and held on to one of her hands with both of his. " You know what I like about you, Elena? You're different. You're not all fancy and you're not mean. You're exposed to vampires and werewolves, witches and warlocks and you're holding it together. I honestly thought you'd run away and call me a freak or something" Tate didn't want to admit that's what he expected of Elena but if you see someone turning into a ******** werewolf, you don't usually want to be best friends with that. When the Chinese arrived, Tate made out of a spread for them on the coffee table. Well, he ordered what Elena asked for but he ordered a whole lot of extra stuff for himself. He was always hungry as hell after turning but he kept all his stuff all laid out in case Elena wanted a bit. Tate pointed to his display of various meats and vegetables. " Sharesies?"

  Elena laughed at Tate's stunning attitude towards her ankle and her motivation to actually do a car wash. It was true, what he said, to please the new Miss Mystic Falls. Elena has this hard drive in her that she cannot shut off and it was always doing good deed for others before herself. Tucking in a strand of hair behind her ear, she bit her bottom lip gently as Tate excused himself for a shower. Sitting alone on his couch, Elena brought her right thumb nail between her teeth before examining her phone with her left hand. Her eyes scanned the contacts, and when falling across Jeremy's name, Elena immediately texted him. 'Hey! I'm fine. Crash at a friend's. I'll meet you home after the car wash today.' Sending the text, Elena then held the power button and let herself be disconnected from the world. As soon as she tucked her phone away, she was greeted with some flowers, beautiful flowers. "Okay," said Elena in a chuckle when Tate told her to accept it considering she deprived him from retrieving some earlier. As Tate explained that he was a fresh, cleaned Tate, Elena sniffed the flowers to smell the perfect scent. Her other hand was gathered in both of Tate's, and Elena immediately looked to the blonde. "What?" Elena asked when Tate asked a question that he was already going to answer. Listening to him, Elena felt her smile broaden. Soon, the Chinese food arrived, and Elena smiled happily. Setting the bundle of flowers to the side of the table, she watched as Tate cleared room for all their food before setting them out. After his adorable, one worded question, Elena just lightly laughed before grabbing one of his hands, much like what he did with her, and kept it between her own two hands. Bringing it up to her lips, Elena didn't kiss his knuckles, but simply grazed her lips on his fingers as she looked to be in thought. Soon, that expression was gone, but still kept his hand by her mouth. "You know what I like about you, Tate? You're kind hearted, giving, sweet, and just amazing. Most werewolves are all about killing... Not you. You're strong. You're a lot more powerful than you think. And you sure as hell are a lot more cuter than you give yourself credit for." With a smile, Elena let go his hand, to release him from her grasp, and grabbed a white box that contained her rice. Opening it, and breaking the chopsticks in two, Elena dug in to eat. Elena was a bit hungry too, but wasn't one to eat all the time. Just a small habit of hers.

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♣ Tate didn't believe that he was powerful. He was a simple werewolf, no different from his sister. They were...them. He just had a little more control than she did. But Elena calling him cute took the cake. Maybe some time from now, he'd tell her how he felt. Just not now, in case it would be too much for her. But he wanted her to know how she really made him feel when he complimented him like that. Tate looked at Elena awkwardly when she used chopsticks. " How do you even?" he asked as he grabbed the container with his sweet and sour pork with a plastic fork instead of a chopstick set. He didn't have the patience for chopsticks. Tate pulled his feet up into the couch as he ate, facing Elena like her was going to start a topic. " You didn't hear me, did you?" he asked. He meant when he was changing. He knew that she heard Kailan but he didn't want her to hear him. His cries for pain were a mixture of screaming and howling. He didn't want her to place his face with the sound of him howling. Tate reached for his cellphone and shot Kailan a text telling her that he ordered Chinese food in case she was still hungry when she got home. He knew what she liked, he always ordered it without asking her, just in case she wanted some. Tate put his phone back into his pocket and going back to eating rather carnivorously. He's had a rough night and skipped his usual sandwich out of pure anxiety, he needed to eat. " Don't make any wolf jokes about me eating right now. I'll kill you" He grinned at her. Yes, his eating was pretty animal like right now but he was hungry. He's heard of werewolves eating whole turkeys while they were in wolf form, his current eating was an understatement. Tate speared some pork for his fork and held it out to Elena to bite. He liked sharing food, that's how you got to try new things. But he didn't want her to just take some from him with her chopstick, he wanted to feed her.

  Elena chuckled at Tate and his baffled amazement when he saw Elena eat some of her rice with the chopsticks. "You're talkin' to the girl who lives in a household of people who can't cook. I get bored when we order Chinese and use these little suckers," said Elena, clicking the tips of the chopsticks together with one hand. Her smile faltered into a frown when Tate asked if she heard him. She didn't hear him, but she could imagine it. "No.." said Elena as she stabbed the rice in the box with the chopsticks, rather gathering it in a bunch to pop in her mouth. However, Tate iced the silence by playfully threatening her if she were to make a wolf joke. "Alright, alright.." said Elena with a smirk, sinking further on the couch. "Just make sure nobody moons ya..." admitted Elena with a small smirk, looking to Tate. Seeing the piece of meet being offered to her, she quickly took the pork from his form with her mouth and sat back down before he could return his offer. She sat there with a proud, smug expression, a giggle fighting to break out.
Later that day, Elena asked for Bonnie to heal her ankle. Her friend happily did it, so that they both could suffer through the car wash. Caroline was rather frustrated that Elena brought Tate, but everyone else knew that she would. "Alright, ready for all work and no play?" asked Elena before casually glancing over her shoulder for any signs of Caroline. "I think I'll be at the all play, no work station." With a chuckle, Elena grabbed Tate's arm and dragged him over to a car. "Alright. Let's get to work." In an attempt to seem at least sexy in front of Tate, Elena grabbed the hem of her shirt and tried to pull her long sleeve over her head. Sadly, this attempt was a fail. Instead of being sexy, Elena ended up getting tangled and stuck. "Oh god.." she groaned, trying to pull herself free. "So not sexy.." admitted Elena with a light chuckle.
