Fearless

There's somethin' bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Oh, yeah

Elena was curled up on the couch tapping the end of her pen on her diary. She was at a loss for words at that moment. While Stefan was sitting on the armchair writing away in his journal. Perhaps the problem was she needed inspiration. Oh, what oh what could inspire the brunette.

Stefan noticed, she hadn't written much and looked up to say "Can't think of anything?" He asked softly.

"You could say that," Elena responded with a hint of agitation.

"I have a perfect idea to swipe that mug off your beautiful face!" He said sweetly, smiling as he stood up.

He moved toward Elena he grabbed the diary and the pen and sat the objects to the side and then grabbed Elena's hands pulling her up. She looked confused. He paused for a moment and then went on to say. "And it might inspire you!" Stefan pointed towards the window.

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

"We can't go out there, it's raining!" Elena said, shocked by Stefan's spontaneousness.

"Yes, but it'll be fun, and we won't be there long enough to get sick so don't worry!" Stefan said smiling, trying to convince her.

"I'll right, I'll go grab the coats!" Elena said in dramatic defeat. Elena and Stefan always loved to joke around like this, it was dramatic but that was the exhilarating part! That's the great part about being together they love laughter and making each other smile. She ran upstairs smiling cheekily as she grabbed the coats.

Stefan's face lit up into a smile as he watched her run upstairs. Little did she know there was a surprise waiting for her there.

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
But with you I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless

Elena's POV

Upstairs

So baby drive slow
'Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it

As I walked into the room I noticed the coats were on the bed instead of the closet. "huh, odd normally he puts them away. He must have forgotten." I thought, as I went over to grab our jackets.

As I lifted the jackets I found a surprise waiting there for me. There it was a small black velvet box.

I stared in shock for a moment and then regained my posture. I grabbed the small box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful small diamond ring.

I covered her mouth in shock, a hot tear came streaming my cheek when I realized Stefan was going to propose!

While this came as a shock to her it didn't shock Stefan. He planned this out for weeks that's why they came to the lakehouse. He thought he should wait until it was a rainy day to propose, he always thought they were magical. Of course, he wasn't planning on leaving the jackets on the bed but he grabbed them this morning just in case it rain and left it there by accident.

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
But with you I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless
Oh, oh

Stefan watched through the doorway and said "From the moment I met you, you were my light in my dark, my rock, my true love, and epic love, but most of all you were my soulmate. The moment I met you I knew you were the one, falling in love with you has been the greatest gift I could ever ask for. Will, you Elena Gilbert marry me?" Stefan vocalized.

Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless

"Yes, I will marry you!" I cried, quickly hugging Stefan as he spun me around. I laid my head against the crook of his neck softly. I smiled happily as his arms were wrapped around my waist.

"Before I put this ring on your finger would you like to dance in the rain?" Stefan pulled away and offered. I smile as brightly as before "Yes." I responded.

"Why, Mrs. Future Salvatore would you like me to carry you sparkling rain?" Stefan asked me.

My face broke into a smile as I affirmed "Why, yes Mr. Salvatore I would love that." I giggled as he carried my bridal style downstairs into the rain.

Oh, yeah

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
But with you I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless

Elena moved out of Stefan's arms moving into position to dance. He placed his arms on her waist while Elena placed her arms on his shoulder. Rain poured softly, on their faces as they swayed together.

The sunset glistened onto their skin but they didn't notice all they saw were each other. Elena softly giggled, Stefan loved her laugh it was like a sweet, blissful melody to his ears.

Elena loved Stefan's forest-green eyes they were full of mystery and compassion.

They continued to sway and dance together until the rain stops yes, they forgot the jackets, and yes they got an extremely bad cold but it was worth it. It was worth every hour, minute, and second. Why? Because love is fearless. Dancing in the rain was another memory they could look back on and think fondly of.

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
But with you I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless
Oh, oh, oh yeah

The End!
