The Oldest Mikealson

[33] Worried

It was 9 pm, Stefan and I were watching a movie in the living room. We had spent the day together, relaxing and getting to know each other. I've never had someone ask me so many questions about myself and want to know more about me, but I was willing to try. I had my back against Stefan's chest, and my head leaning against the side of his jaw. His hands were resting on my ribs, and his thumb moving up and down. As someone who doesn't like physical touch, I've noticed that I tend to feel comfort when Stefan has his hand on my waist or when he is holding my hand. I pick up my phone that was sitting on my lap to check the time for the 100th time. 9:17 pm.

"What's wrong?" He kisses the crown of my head.

"I-I'm worried about Enzo. What if Damon did something to him? I haven't gotten anything from him, not even a simple text." I sigh and close my eyes.

"I'm sure he's fine, and I know Damon wouldn't do anything to him 'cause he knows you'd hunt him down until you got your revenge. I'm sure they're rebuilding their friendship. Don't worry about it. Just relax, if they're not here by tomorrow morning then we can worry. Alright?" He continues to kiss the crown of my head, relaxing me a bit. I nod my head and turn my attention to the movie.

After what felt like 30 minutes, I checked my phone again only to see that it's been 20 minutes. Before I can put my phone back on my lap, Stefan takes my phone and throws it to the couch across from us. I groaned while sitting up to get my phone, only to be pulled back down by two arms around my waist. I gave up and fell back on Stefan. We finished the movie and decided to watch one more.

At some point, I must have fallen asleep cause I woke up to Stefan carrying me up the stairs. Our eyes met for a brief moment before I closed them and hid my face in the crotch of his neck. A few seconds later I feel him place me in the bed, I turn over and try to get comfortable. I feel the bed sink a little before feeling an arm wrap around me. I unconsciously move myself toward Stefan, resting my head on his shoulder.

I woke up to the sun in my eyes, I groaned turning to my side hoping to get away from the light. I hear Stefan groan before wrapping his arm around me and pulling me to him. I place my hand on his abdomen and press my forehead against his chest. Neither of us move and just sting to stay in the moment.

"Good morning" he kisses my temple and oh my god, his morning voice. I hum in response and snuggle myself more into him.

I heard the front door open but was too lazy and comfortable to move. Stefan tried to get up but I kept him close. Somehow he had managed to get up with still wrapped around him. My legs were wrapped around his waist while my arms were around his neck. He chuckled and walked into the bathroom, he set me down on the counter.

He kisses me before I groan, and slide down. I start the shower and walk out to get my clothes and anything else I might need. I walk back to the bathroom to see Stefan shirtless getting ready to shave. I looked at him up and down while biting my lip, I knew he was watching me through the mirror. I look at the mirror, our eyes connecting immediately.

"Don't do that..." was all he said before focusing back on applying his shaving cream. I hopped into the shower and did what I needed to do. Once I was all done, I walked downstairs to see Stefan, Damon, and Enzo talking. Stefan had noticed me walk in but the two others had their back facing me.

"where were you two?" They both turned in surprise with a frightened looks.

"Didn't hear you come in..." Damon spoke while Enzo went up to me and hugged me. I kept my eyes on Damon as I hugged Enzo back.

"You ok? You hurt?" I whispered to Enzo, he shakes his head against my shoulder. I slowly unwrapped my arms from him and tried to take a step back, only to be pulled back to Enzo. I place a comforting hand on his back.

I frown my eyebrows at the action, and look up at the two brothers standing in front of me. " what happened?"

"We visited a 'friend', just talked things out" Damon spoke while making himself a drink at his mini bar. Damon doesn't have "friends" nor does he "talk things out".

Enzo was still hugging me, which confused me more. Enzo and I only hugged a couple of times in the past, but it was quick hugs like 5 seconds hug. I turned my head to the side and whispered to Enzo, " Talk to me"

" We killed Aaron. Damon saved me from him." My eyes widened, they were finally able to kill the person who was torturing them. I once again wrap my head around him and try to comfort him.

I remember when I first met Enzo, he was broken, he needed someone to take him in, and I did just that. He didn't trust me at first and would always stay in the dark corner of the living room. He didn't speak a word to me the whole time. He slowly warmed up to me and would sit next to me when I was doing research. Eventually, he would point things out and I would explain it to him. After that, he started talking to me and we got to know each other. From there I taught him how to properly hunt his food and defend himself and other things to survive. It was a mother and son bond and I would do it again.

" How about you and me go out, just the two of us? Like the good old time." He slowly pulled away and took a step back.

" I would like that..." I turned to the boys and smiled while placing my hand on Enzo's back and moving toward the door. Before we could leave someone cleared their throat. We turn around and see Damon standing behind us.

" Enzo, I would like it if you spent the night with us. Anyways, you guys have fun." We nodded at Damon and walked out.
