Stefan's POV
I unlock the front door to my small apartment in Mystic Falls. "Wow, Stef. I love it." Elena gushes as she sits on the couch. She jolts up when she notices I have a balcony.
"Wait, you have a balcony? No fair!" She states as I laugh. I walk over to the balcony before saying "That's what I wanted to show you." She gets up and walks outside with me. "Everyday, I try to watch the sunset out here." I tell her as she looks at me. "It's- it's beautiful, Stefan." She says.
"Just like you." I respond as she looks at me and smiles. I cringe at what I just said as she laughs. She cups my face with her hands before turning back to the sunset. Elena leans her head on my shoulder as she sighs.
"Thank you so much, Stefan." I hear her say as pull away and look at her. "For what?" I ask. "Okay, you may be cute but you're dumb." She tells me as I scoff. "Thank you for being so good to me, always. And for tonight. You've made me realize some things." She reply's as I caress her cheek.
"You deserve the world, E. I know we've just only known each other for a little but.. you've changed me. You make me crazy." I laugh as I wipe a tear off her cheeks. She cups my face as I cup hers and she stares deep into my eyes.
We both lean in. Our lips finally touch. We're passionately kissing in front of the sun set. Sounds cheesy, right? But, I was so happy in this moment; I didn't care. She pulls away and places her head on the crook of my neck.
We hug before I pull away. "Wanna watch a movie?" I ask as she smiles and nods. "Of course." I lead her inside as I turn the tv on and she sits down. I grab a blanket and place it on the both of us as I put a movie on. We're cuddling as she looks up at me and quickly pecks my lips.
I'm thrown a little off guard to be honest. I bite my lip before I pull her closer to me.
Elena's POV
I wake up to the smell of breakfast. I look around the unfamiliar room as I groan. I'm not much of a morning person. I hear Stefan humming along to a song as I walk out of the bedroom towards the kitchen. I see him making eggs. I smile before kissing him on the cheek.
I was in baggy sweatpants and and a slightly over sized t-shirt. "How did I-"
"You fell asleep on the couch so I wake you up and you got in that clothes. I then moved you to the bed and I took the couch." He says as I nod. I trust him.
He hands me a plate of food as I bite my lip. "Thank you." I say as he tells me it's no problem. He stands in front of me as I eat the food he just made. My eyes widen as I take a bite. "Stefan! This is really good." I assure him as he laughs. "Thanks." He laughs as I nod. I grab a cup and pour juice.
"Lemme have a sip." Stefan says as I shake my head. We start fighting over the cup as he spills the juice on his shirt. I gasp as he takes his shirt off. I bite my lip as I stare at his body. He was fit, not gonna lie.
He catches me staring as he points at his face and says "Eyes up here." I laugh and apologize as he shakes his head. "It's fine. Now.. finish eating." He tells me as I smile.
"Yes sir." I scrunch my nose as he makes a funny face. I finish my food as I go to wash my dish. "No, no, no. I'll wash it." He tells me. "Really? Cause I'll do it." I reply as he shakes his head "Yeah, i'm sure." He tells me as I bite my lip.
I pull him towards me as he has his hands on my waist. "Kiss me." He says as I shake my head.. I pull away as he gasps dramatically and starts doing the dishes. I walk towards the balcony and see the sun. It's gorgeous.
I then walk back towards Stefan and ask "Where's my clothes?"
"In the room." He responds as I nod and walk towards his room. I open the door to his bedroom as I sigh. It's different.
I find my clothes folded as I slip my shirt and pants off, leaving me in my underwear and bra. I then hear the door open as I jump up and see Stefan. "Oh- Sorry." He says. "It's fine but- turn." I say as he nods and turns around. I put my clothes back on as I tell Stefan he can turn around.
Stefan stands in front of me as I can smell his aftershave. After a minute or two he asks "Do you need a ride home?" "Yes.. but, you don't have to, of course." I reply as he laughs. "Yes, I do. I don't want you getting hurt or kidnapped." He tells me as I laugh.
"Thank you." I tell him, kissing his cheek before getting out of the room. He has an extra tooth brush so I used that to brush my teeth. Stefan drives me home as I tell him goodbye.
I open my door, trying to make it in as quietly as possible. Because it's still pretty early. As I take my heels of so no one can hear me, I hear my dad clear his throat. I freeze in my tracks as I turn to see Jeremy grinning and my dad sipping coffee. "Dad! Hi." I smile as Jermey smirks.
"Elena, would you like to explain where you were so late and why you're just coming home?" I hear him ask as I sigh. "Uh, I-" "She was at Stefan's house." Jeremy interrupts as I glare my eyes at him.
"You were at a boys house? Overnight?" He asks as I look up. "Yes but- I'm not a teen anymore. I promise we didn't do anything, dad." I promise him as I walk over to him. "Maybe not over there but here-" Jeremy starts as I slap him so he stops. "Okay, Elena. I trust you." My dad says as I hug him. "Thank you, dad. I promise I'll text you next time I spend the night somewhere." I assure him as he nods.
