Ric was... happy. Being able to sleep with Hayley -and really just sleep, god knew the sex wasn't lacking- even with Damon acting as a guard dog, had been good for him. No new bodies turning up, not missing chunks of time, those were pretty good, too. They weren't quite enough for him to let his guard completely down, but he didn't think there was going to be a whole lot of sleeping going on tonight, anyway.
And if there was, well, tonight Hayley would be even more equipped to play guard dog and take care of him. Elijah's reassurance helped keep that one metaphorical and mildly amusing.
He dumped the last load of camping gear onto the ground, and looked up at the sky to check the weather. "I don't think we're going to have to worry about being rained on tonight, but we should probably set up the tent." Who knew what tomorrow would bring,and it would be easier to relax somewhere enclosed. And limit bugs.

"You cheated," Damon argued.
"If the big, bad vampire couldn't catch me with a two second head start, you weren't going to catch me if we took off at the same time."
Damon rolled his eyes and grumbled, but opened the back seat. "Fine. Your carriage, m'lady."

"I think it was to be able to be faster and stronger and more than a match," Damon grumbled, starting the car.

Hayley in the backseat of a car driven by Damon? Yes please.

Date: 2014-01-25 06:31 am (UTC)Damon sighed, long-sufferingly, while he watched them in the rearview mirror now and again. Shaking his head, he complained, "You two are becoming way less fun to hang out with..."
Okay, not really. In fact, watching them was...not really a hardhsip, in all honesty.

Date: 2014-01-29 02:10 am (UTC)Damon sighed and let them do as they wanted until he pulled up to Ric's building. "Okay, lovebirds. This is your stop."
His, too, if Ric meant it about letting him feed, but he didn't want to be in the way...Oh, who was he kidding? He shut off the car and got out before they could untangle themselves. No way he was leaving.

Date: 2014-02-11 04:23 pm (UTC)Not that most of what he hadn't been appreciating wasn't Hayley's mouth and her in his lap. "Hold your horses." He kisses her again, then starts to work with her to get untangled so they can get out and meet Damon to head inside. "You'd think a hundred years would've taught you some patience."

Date: 2014-02-12 03:05 am (UTC)She was teasing, looking innocent, even as Damon looked over at her. "Have you met many vampires?"
She laughed, moving toward the building. "Clearly not the right ones."
Damon shook his head looking after her, then glanced back at Ric giving him a smirk. "I've been patient for over a year."
In not sinking his teeth into Ric before now. It wasn't like he hadn't bitten other people he cared about--namely Elena--though, to be fair, not actually for dinner or breakfast or whatever.

He frowned at Damon and his steps slowed. "You could've asked."
If Damon had asked, Ric would have freaked and left. Well, maybe not in the last couple of weeks but over most of that year? Yeah.

Date: 2014-02-20 09:18 pm (UTC)Damon arched an eyebrow in Ric's direction. "Yeah...I don't see that having gone well, buddy."

Date: 2014-03-23 05:44 am (UTC)But she wasn't second guessing what Ric wanted to do, either. She settled on the sofa, pulling her knees up to her chest, gaze solemn.
Damon gave her a look. "I'm not gonna hurt him." His voice was gentle, for Damon.
