The Vampire Diaries

Kol nodded and downed the rest of his drink.

"Why don't you just compel her to stop arguing with you then? Problem solved." Rebekah pointed out.

"Because compulsion isn't the answer to every single problem." Tatia told Rebekah a little snarkily as she walked into the room, a half full glass in her hand.

"But clearly drinking is." Rebekah countered.

"Drinking isn't, nor is compulsion. The only solution I've came up with to stop the argument is by me not saying anything but now me not talking is starting arguments." Klaus muttered, "Tatia just enjoys arguing about anything she can dig her nails into." he added bitterly.

---
Abigail hugged Kol gently, whispering, "Hope you start feeling happy again soon, Kol,"

---
Kaida watched him.

He ended up potting another striped ball.

"Idiot," Kaida complained light-heartedly.

"Me too," Kol agreed.
----

"Well at least I actually talk! All you ever do is sigh or shrug!" Tatia countered. "If I'm really that bad then go get the fucking divorce papers already."

He smiled. "I'm over 1000 years old, give me a break."

"Because when I wasn't doing that all you ever done was argue with me or find a way to make it an argument!" Klaus retorted, "And why should I make the effort to? Your the one being argumentative, your the one making it so we won't work anymore."

---
Abigail reached up to rest his fingertips on his cheek for a brief moment before taking his glass from him and pouring him another drink.

---
"You should be giving me a break," She laughed, "Your too good, it's not fair,"

"I am giving you a break." He told her."

"Oh yes, because it's all my fault isn't it! If I really make you that unhappy why haven't you got rid of me yet?"

Rebekah sank back into her seat, listening to the two of them amusedly.
----

"Are you trying to get me drunk?" Kol laughed.

"No," Abigail replied with a quiet laugh, about to hand him the glass before deciding, "I'll drink it if you won't, though, so, you have a second to take it from me before I down it."

---
"Why don't you try shutting up for once?"

---
"No your not," She frowned

Kol just laughed and took the drink.
----

"Why should I? It's not going to make anything better is it?" Tatia said, lowering her voice slightly, sounding dejected.

"Well it will because it'll stop the arguments you so obviously enjoy," Klaus grumbled, "It's always you starting them, anyway,"

---
"Was kind of hoping you wouldn't take it so I didn't have to make myself another one," She mused, smiling at his laugh as she poured herself another drink.

Kol just shook his head and downed his drink.
-----

"I just told you less than ten minutes ago that I don't like arguing with you!"

Elijah laughed.

"Doesn't seem like it some times,"

---
Abigail took a few gulps of her drink silently, then.

---
Kaida smiled at his laugh

Elijah waited for her to take her shot.

Kol poured himself another drink.
----

"It doesn't seem like you want me here sometimes." Tatia countered. "It's like the only reason you let me back was for Vanessa's sake."

"Should be grateful I let you back." Klaus grumbled, adding honestly, "You just annoy me now, Tatia. Every word out of your mouth I question if I can even trust anymore."

----
"You trying to get yourself drunk?"

"And there we go." Tatia scoffed. "And I thought I was just being paranoid. Go ahead, don't trust me. I have nothing left to lie about, you can compel me on that one."
----

"Yup."

Klaus just waved her away, closing his eyes once again and going silent.

----
"M'kay," She hummed, "How long does it take you to get drunk now?"

"A while."
-----

Tatia made a noise of disbelief. "Well if that's how you feel." she said quietly, before taking her wedding and engagement rings off and setting them down on the side and walking out.

"This family's falling apart." Rebekah groaned.

"No. You go and bloody explain to Vanessa, Tatia. I done it last time." Klaus snapped at her before she made it out the door, grumbling in response to his sister, "Isn't it always?"

----
"Don't think I've ever see you properly, full out drunk."

"I'm not that different to how I usually am, so I've been told."
----

"I mean for real this time though." Rebekah answered a couple of minutes later. "Especially after you've just said that... do you not love her anymore?"

"I don't know." Klaus replied honestly after a few moments of complete silence, opening his eyes to look at his sister. "I'm tired of the arguing."

----
"Mm, suppose I'll find out tonight." Abigail nodded.

"Or maybe I'll just fall asleep so you wont get to see," Kol teased.
-------

"Couples fight all the time, and from what I've gathered the arguments are mostly about Ness. Couples arguing about their kids is also common." Rebekah pointed out, her smug and enjoying looks wiped from her face when she realised it wasn't just another argument.
