Graduation Weekend Brunch | Early Afternoon | Sunday | May 2

With the ceremony completed and the graduated officially done with their high school careers, a brunch had been planned to celebrate the occasion and allow graduates, their guests, and the other inhabitants of the island to enjoy some good food and good conversation outside. The weather was warm and the sky was clear.

Fraser had been busy helping set up since the early morning hours. Apparently, Dean Stinson had gone a little overboard with some of the food, particularly the cake. The huge sheet cake arrived via truck and, where Fraser thought he'd be able to carry it, ended up having to use a forklift to get it to the park. From there, it took several people to lift the cake onto a table of its own. It was that big. Fraser hoped everyone enjoyed and hoped everyone was prepared to take a lot of cake home.

There were also several other tables of food and drinks, ready to be enjoyed. There were tables and chairs situated around the park, covered by tents to keep it from becoming too warm.

And there was cake. Please don't forget the cake.

"Why'd she have to know at all?" Alex asked, waving a hand. "It's not that important."

Rose shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "I hear about gossip at St Vlad's and tell her about random shit here," she said. "Not like personal stuff, but -"

"Me being attached? Kind of personal," he said, sounding more amused than anything. "You must have been really afraid I was gonna meet her and bed her or something."

"Not that kind of personal," she said, making a face. "You know what I mean. And, yeah, not so much afraid. I know both of you guys too well for it."

"Well, she was pretty hot," he teased, grinning. "She already head out?"

"She's gorgeous," Rose agreed. Seriously, it was a fact of life. "Nah, she's sleeping. Too much sunlight's a problem."

"Skin condition?" Alex guessed, not really connecting a few things. Poor bastard. "British genes?"

Rose focused on her plate for a moment, putting jelly on a piece of toast. "Moroi usually are nocturnal," she explained. "And St Vlad's is on a night schedule so I don't wanna screw Liss up for going back to classes."

"Moroi?" he repeated, trying to recall if he'd heard that word before. "I can't remember, is that slang for something in undead cow world?"

"It's what Lissa is," Rose corrected. "Which is good since I'm going to be her guardian and all."

Alex knew all that so it took him a little bit longer than usual to clue in to why she was being vague and remember what Rose had told him before.

"She's a straight up vampire, isn't she?" he asked, blessedly keeping his voice low and not seeming...too freaked out. There was always going to be a level of nerves there. Always. "I'm right, right?"

"Yeah," Rose agreed, watching him pretty carefully. She knew it bothered Alex a lot still, and she'd kinda hoped he wouldn't have to put it together. "It's not a secret or anything, but yeah. She's alive and all that. Not like - other ones."

"I'm beginning to think vampires outnumber humans on this island," he said, doing a pretty damn good job at covering up his continued issues with that. He fidgeted a little, hand in his hair, tapping against the table and on his thigh before he stopped.

"Jesus." He blew out a breath and blinked. "I'm fine." And he was. "Anyone else like that I should maybe know about? Vampire, I mean?"

"Not this island," Rose said quickly. She remembered the other one too, yes, even though they weren't Talking About It. "There's a couple others I know about. I mean, Adrian's the obvious one since Dimitri and I follow him around half the time."

"Adrian?" Alex repeated, trying to put a face with the name. "The guy at the bar, right? With the small head?"

"He has a small head?" she thought about that. "...yeah, okay. The hot dark haired guy. Around our age. Not Chuck."

"His head's like the size of a grape," Alex told her, illustrating that with two fingers. "And he's not hot. I'm hotter."

"Yeah, so am I, but he's, like, hotter than Tino," Rose smirked at him. "But I don't know shit about the size of his head."

"He can suck my left nut," Alex said, sounding a little bitter for a few reasons.

"What'd he ever do to you?" Rose asked, far more curious than confrontational. "He's a royal jackass a lot of the times."

Sadly 'royal' was, well, accurate.

"Nothing," Alex said, shaking his head. "Maybe I just wanna be a jackass."

"Not surprising," Rose snarked.

"You love me anyway," Alex said and grinned. "Your friend, she doesn't know about that...other place, does she?"

"Keep dreaming," she laughing. But she shook her head. "No way, she'd worry too much."

"Yeah, I didn't think so. I sort of vaguely asked and she didn't seem to know what I was talking about," Alex said, nodding. "I tried to get her to play along, act like I'd successfully picked her up and was taking her home with me but she said you'd know immediately."
