Hold Me Tight - Stefan Salvatore/The Vampire Diaries

You know me quite well

I turn around and look at the Salvatore boy wide eyed then back to his girlfriend, "Um, yeah come in." I move out the way of the door and sit down on the furthest seat away from them.

We sit there in silence for five, ten minutes waiting for someone to speak yet I didn't know how. 

"What's happening here?" Elena finally speaks up, looking between the two of us, neither of us knowing to say, "You two have these moments and you two look at each other in such a different way to anything I've ever seen." She looks down and breaths then looks up again.

"Elena," Stefan starts, "I don't know what you are on about." He looks to me for a moment with something never seen before and back to her, "If you think anything is happening..."

"If you're going to say nothing is happening, then either you're lying or just haven't realised it yet." Elena states.

"I don't understand what you are saying?" I say slowly looking Elena.

"You two have feelings for each other! How have you not noticed if you haven't?" 

"Elena," Stefan says.

"No, Stefan, don't saying anything because you know its true. You have never looked at me the way you do to her and that is something I wish you did but it won't happen and I now know that." 

We fell into silence one again until I stood up and looked at the pair, "I'm going to go to upstairs, so I'll see you both soon. If you go I understand." They say nothing so I go to my bedroom and collapsed on my bed wishing nothing ever happened.

Later on a knock was at my door, "Come in," I say without moving, slowly the door opens and they peek in, he walks towards me so I sit up.

"Hey," I say quietly with a small smile which he returns. 

"Hi," He replies. 

"Are you alright?" I ask as he sits beside me which he nods in response, "What happened? Where is she?"

He sighs, "She left, she told me that I have to figure out how I feel."

I look up at him, scrunching up my eyebrows, "You broke up?" Once again he answers with a nod, "But you love her, why would she even question it?"

"Kyra, don't do that," He says looking down at his feet.

"Do what?" I question.

"Pretend that it is that simple, you know it's not."

"But you do love her..."

"Yeah I do love Elena, but you are something special to me and whether you deny it or not, we do have 'moments' together." He answers, signalling with his hands.

I place my head in my hands, taking a deep breath, "Why is love so complicated?!" I say quietly, then silence over comes us until Stefan lets out a small laugh making me look at him confused while he's trying to hide the fact he did. "What was that about?" I ask.

He lets out another small laugh, "You said love. 'Why is love so complicated' " He answers a small smile on his lips while I try to think about what I had said previously. However to try and make him be quiet I grab a pillow from behind me and hit him with it in response which just makes him laugh more. Then without time to think, Stefan uses his vampire speed and gently tackles me to the bed making both of us laugh and smile properly at each other for the first time throughout this conversation.

"Why did you do that?" I ask while smiling over at him as he lays down next to me both looking up at the ceiling.

He turns to look at me while I face his way, watching him take in every detail of my face, a big smile then returns to his face, "Because I wanted to see you laugh." I smiled widely at him then looked back up to the ceiling which he did too, I moved my hand across to his and our fingers intertwined. What we didn't know was that both of us still had the widest smiles you could ever see.
