The murder itself had been quick. Smith wasted no time when they got back to Shadow Falls. He hunted Elijah's step father down and he killed him, plain and simple. He hadn't deigned to drink the man's blood, but strangled him to death and tossed him into the lake to sink and rot. It had been nothing more than an extermination. He hadn't tortured the man, and he hadn't given him much of an explanation for why he was dying except that he deserved it and he owed Elijah a peaceful existence.

Then, he'd turned himself in. All of this happened before Whitney could do anything to stop him. Smith had been very careful about that aspect because the whole point of this was to protect both of the people he loved. Elijah from his step father and Whitney from the Council. After pleading his case, he was sentenced to six months in the dungeons. But he'd been granted the small mercy to leave a letter for Whitney and Elijah to be delivered after he was incarcerated.

It read: Whitney and Lij. Please don't be mad. I'm not running from either of you. 6 months and we can go back to normal. 6 months and all of us will be safe again. Let me do this. -Smith

Not much of a poet, but he got the point across. That was 6 months ago and now he was collecting his watch from the guard and heading home. There was scars on his back from where he'd been punished. Only very talented vampires knew how to hurt another vampire enough to leave scars. They were faint though and in another fifty years they'd be gone. No injury lasted forever, except maybe emotional ones.

As was common, the exact date of his release hadn't been publicized. So he walked himself home to Whitney's, terrified that Elijah (or maybe even Whitney himself) wouldn't be there. Instead of walking right in, he knocked before trying the door to see if it was unlocked.

	Elijah hadn't even entertained the idea before, but the moment Smith said he wondered why it hadn't occurred to him before the suggestion. Probably because Lijah was so smitten with Smith, but Whitney was very attractive as well. And his bite felt very nice, too. "Oh my God, I'd probably explode," he said softly with a laugh, and he hid his face even more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, would you?" He kept up the innocent act and kissed at Elijah's neck. He wanted to drink from him again so badly, but he knew what a bad idea that would be.

Instead, he sat up so that he could drain the bathtub and get Elijah up out of the water. He dressed him and carried him back to the bedroom to lay him down in bed. "Think you can stay awake long enough to eat something?" He really needed to, but maybe a little nap would do him well too.

Elijah didn't answer, instead he just let out a sleepy giggle and smiled. When the water was drained and he was helped out of the tub and dressed, he yawned. He curled up onto the bed and nodded his head a little, his eyes all ready slipping closed.

Whitney swept into the room then, a tray in his hands. He'd made pancakes, and they had peanutbutter and syrup on them. He'd learned Elijah liked his pancakes that way while Smith was gone.

"I can't believe you eat this," he said as he settled it down on the bed, "But it's sweet and you need sugar. There's some milk there for you, too. And some hand santizer wipes for your fingers for when you're done."
