______________________________

So, it had been a month give or take since Sterling and Jamie had started talking again, and it was nice to actually talk to someone again - without having to go on hunts to do so. Neither Sterling, Jamie or Elenora for that matter was rather fond of how things had gone down in Mexico when they had been on the wrong tracks of their emotions. How anger had driven them back then. So, to be able to just catch up on everything good and bad had been great. And once Jamie had been sure where Sterling was standing regarding on the supernatural, even if he knew he wasn't as extreme as Frederik's family, it was something about being completely sure before you told him, that their former friend Frederik wasn't dead but a turned witch. Also, if Sterling could get behind Frederik being a turned witch, then there was hope for Madelaine for getting back to her family as well. Right? Once that was said it had been about planning and well, Jamie had work, so did Frederik - but finally they had found an afternoon where it seemed to be perfect - Frederik had asked if his friend Elias could join them. Which had gotten Jamie even more excited since he knew Elias, so of course. So, Jamie was driving with Sterling sitting on the front seat next to him, jamming to some music on the way there. Looking up at the giant penthouse. "I know, its huge - wait till you see the inside of the place," he chuckled a little bit. Well, it was Frederik having a little extra was meant to follow. Parking the car in the parking lot, the next steps were simple, taking the elevator up to the apartment.

Knocking on the door, Elias looked towards Frederik while sitting on the couch. Elias couldn't remember the last time he had just hung out with some friends in the middle of the ocean of drama, but he was looking forward to it. It was going to be nice. He got up from the couch as Frederik would walk to open the door.

The new year seemed to be heading in a good direction. He had found Hannah and there were clues on Madelaine. He had met Jamie and was now about to reunite with Frederik and meet one of their friends, Elias. It had been slightly difficult to make four grownups calendar to match up, but it had brought them to where they were now, sitting in the car on their way to Frederik’s home. “I can’t wait,” Sterling chuckled. He was used to grand places to live, and his expatiations weren’t any less when it was Frederik.

Frederik had arranged a little bit of everything for the get together. Snacks, drinks, music and if the boys wanted more than that, it was only a call away. It knocked on the door and Frederik turned away from where he had placed some glasses for each of them. He opened the door to see both Jamie and Sterling. There was no way Frederik couldn’t keep a smile on his lips as he went to give Jamie a brotherly hug with a pat on the back “Welcome,” he said before he let Jamie get inside to greet Sterling. It was almost a moment of truth. There was a slight tingle of tension in the air before both of them laughed, removing any tension in the air. They fist bumped each other, grabbed each other’s hands, and pulled each other into a hug patting each other a little roughly on the back. “It’s good to see you man,” Frederik said. They got out of each other’s embrace. Frederik was quick to notice how many new scars Sterling had gotten since he last had seen him. As much as Frederik wished to say it looked good, it was slightly alarming to him. Luckily, it didn’t look like there was that many new ones.
“You haven’t changed a day,” Sterling complimented Frederik which made Frederik wink at Sterling before he let him inside. Sterling noticed Elias and instead of making it too awkward, he grabbed his hand, giving it a firm handshake. “Sterling,” he presented himself.

Now it hadn't been Elias to come without something for the host, and he had brought some Don Papa rum for the occasion. Well both Frederik and Jamie knew if they wanted to get out of town, even out of the country they were only one door away. The door opened and Jamie greeted him in a short hug, they hadn't seen each other that much, but it didn't mean they weren't excited to see each other again. After having greeted Elias, Jamie swung his arms around Frederik in a brotherly hug almost, letting go to see Elias and Sterling greeting each other. "Elias," he replied with a warm smile taking Sterling's hand. Now Frederik had told him beforehand how the crew knew each other. So, if it hadn't been for the fact that he had gotten to know both Jamie and Frederik over the last couple of months - he would perhaps not have chosen to place himself in a setting with three hunters. But he couldn't see a reason why Frederik nor Jamie would suddenly turn on him, and then there as Sterling, now he had fate in all of them knowing better and that they would be able to have a good time. Then there was the small scent on Sterling that seemed familiar to Elias for a second, but it was brushed away pretty quickly.

"This place still gets me every time, seems like you won jackpot," he teased a little bit looking around once again, just the view over the entire city was amazing from here. Now he knew that it was Zitora who had bought the place, but it still didn't change the fact that it was pretty spectacular. Elias agreed it was a good view, but he still preferred his home to the view over Aston city. Jamie eyed the snacks and clapped his hands a little bit, well everyone in the group would know Jamie to be the biggest snacker whenever he got the chance to be one - which was almost always.

Sterling approached the windows and complimented the view too. Frederik chuckled a little as the boys seemed to be amazed by Zitora and his home. “Well, I say that every time she walks through that door,” he said and pointed over his shoulder towards the front door. He was of course hinting to Zitora being the jackpot and not the place. One could say that destiny had really done well with putting her name on his collarbone. Frederik couldn’t pull away the smile from his lips, as he saw how Jamie immediately found the snacks and headed towards them. He eyed Elias, “We might have underestimated how much of a snacker Jamie is,” he said to him before he gave him a pat on the shoulder to walk over to Jamie. “Doesn’t she feed you?” he laughed and picked up his glass of rum took tape a sip of it.
Sterling was still the newest member of the group, and just had to get into the right mood. God, he didn’t even know where things were in the apartment. He turned towards Elias, still with a wide smile. “So… How old were you again?” he wondered.

Jamie turned around with his mouth full of Swedish Fish already, "you have a problem with my snacking habits?" He dramatically raised a brow, pointing a little towards Frederik. Elias chuckled a little bit. Now, he was used to having tables long of food, a feast really for every single meal, so Jamie's heart for snacking couldn't be judged by the werewolf, but there was always something uplifting by the shapeshifter's energy. "She does - but you know snacks and dessert doesn't go in the stomach, it goes to the heart," he patted Frederik on the chest where his heart was, before picking up a glass to get some rum too, "fancy," he mumbled a little bit. Now he did like his bits of luxury. One could see that when he shopped, perhaps a bit picky and he didn't know how many arguments him and Nigel had, at least they saw eye to eye regarding what sort of coffee that was the best. "So, I heard a rumor of you having gone all out of your way for dinner?" Jamie took a few more sweets before taking a sip of his drink keeping his eyes on Frederik.

Elias looked towards Sterling when he asked him a question. Well in this room the two of them were the only strangers. But it was always something that Elias did have a flair for striking conversations and being able to talk to most people, so he just smiled warmly to the human, then cracked a little laugh by the question. "A little eight-thoussand and five-hundred years, not that I'm counting," he chuckled a little. Sterling did remind him of someone and he did just have to search that thick skull of his - as Leon would have said - to realize Angel had talked about him after she had come home back when she had died that tragic death. She had told about Sterling as a person, not by his occupation. It was perhaps the hardest way to get over a heart break, when you couldn't just step into the persons life again but have to live despite of them not knowing you were well. "Let's get you a drink, what is your poison?

Frederik laughed a little as he noticed how Jamie had already filled his mouth with Swedish Fish. “Jesus, Jamie. Slow down or you’ll get hiccups,” he laughed. Frederik shook his head a little as he mentioned how snacks and dessert went directly to the heart, “Yeah, to the heart for a cardiovascular disease,” he joked, even though there was some truth in it. Maybe it was a little to serious for the company, but he was trying to joke around a bit. Frederik raised his brows a little as Jamie mentioned the dinner. He chuckled a little, shaking his head. “Nah man, I just made sure every man has something to eat,” he said giving Jamie a small pat on the shoulder, “And made sure that the quality is nice,” he added with a little smirk.

Sterling raised his brows as Elias presented his age. He had to collect his jaw up from the floor. How could a werewolf be that old? They were mortal. He chose not to ask into it but let it be. “My poison changes quite a lot, but I think I would really enjoy that rum of yours” he responded with a little smile. As soon as sterling got to the table to pour himself a glass, it didn’t take long before the doorbell run. “That should be the dinner,” Frederik announced, “Elias would you mind opening up for them?” he wondered before he took another sip of his rum.

"Oh please," Jamie rolled his eyes like a little brother who just had been taught a lesson by his younger brother - which was rather ironic coming from the fact that Jamie was older than Frederik, but well Jamie was very used to Nigel being in his hair. Jamie repeated Frederik's joke in a slightly mocking Frederik, but placed a hand on his shoulder giving it a little squeeze. Okay, Jamie had always been sort of the little brother of the group - clearly.

Then to the conversation about dinner, Jamie raised his brow a little bit. "Clearly, you invited like royalty and Elias of course," he laughed a little at himself, before looking towards Sterling and Elias talking just making sure that Sterling as well found it comfortable speaking to Elias like both Jamie and Frederik did. But Jamie also just needed this. And it gave Sariel and Jasmine a chance for just sitting and having some time with each other as well, but Jamie needed to just be for a night, and it was highly encouraged by everyone. "I'm sure you will," Elias replied to the reply Sterling gave him. Then Jamie sat down at Sterling.

The older werewolf looked towards Frederik when he asked if he would get the door for them as food arrived. Giving him a nod before heading towards the front door and buzzing the people in and then opened the door, so they could come in. Letting them arrange the food, well Elias had asked if Frederik had wanted him to take care of the food and the service, but Frederik insisted on doing things himself, which Elias of course wouldn't argue against either.

Frederik laughed a little as Jamie rolled his eyes of him. Of course, Jamie didn’t want to think about diseases. He laughed even more when Jamie repeated the sentence. They acted completely like brothers, and he really liked that.
“Yeah. Would be a shame to let a royal down” he chuckled and took a sip of his rum. Even if Elias wasn’t here, the food would be quite alike the one Frederik had ordered, just to less people, because Elias could eat for multiple people, just like Jamie. Frederik sat down next to Jamie, scootching a little to him, so he could sit close to him like a piece of gum under one’s shoe.
As Elias was certain that Sterling would like the rum, he went for a glass, just in time for Frederik to announce the food was being delivered. Sterling let his eyes follow the werewolf as he opened the door. Now that Sterling was certain that Elias was royalty, he was actually a little surprised that Frederik asked him to get the door, but maybe it was just the friendship that made it okay?
When the catering people arrived Frederik got up from his seat again and made sure that everything was in order, so nothing was missing, and everything was placed where it should be. Now, he might be a little organized, but he didn’t like thinks being out of order. He turned towards the others with his glass of rum in his hand, “Let’s feast!” he said and raised his glass a bit for a toast. Sterling turned to join, having to process a little to the look of the feast. “So, do you have specific seats or something?” he wondered, feeling a little like the outsider, not knowing how much they had routines in their friendship.
