The Salvatore brothers sickfics

Stefan - sick at school

request: Hey can u do one where Stefan is sick at school?

First day of school and Stefan was sick. Very sick. He didn't feel good at all. But there was no way that he was gonna embarrass himself in front of half the football team, Bonnie and Elena. None of them knew him yet, but he didn't want vomit-boy to be his reputation for the rest of the year. He was also not gonna gave that Tanner-dude the satisfaction of seeing him break.

Any other day he would have been staring at Elena for the entire lesson, but today he was feeling too sick. He was certain that he was pale. Anyone would notice if they looked at him. He kept his eyes at the desk in front of him, although he felt everyone eyeing him with great concern.

"Korean war? anyone?" Tanner followed the students with his pen. "Salvatore!"

Stefan's eyes slowly met Tanners.

"If you're not too busy sleeping, maybe you can tell me when it ended?"

Stefan mumbled an answer and he felt everybody's eyes on him.

"What did you say?" Tanner asked arrogantly. Stefan knew that Tanner was trying to humiliate him, and he was slowly succeeding more and more. Stefan gulped, trying to keep down his vomit.

"Can I please leave the classroom?" He whispered, his voice shaking and everyone could hear it due to the silence. Tanner rolled his eyes and turned around; his way of saying yes, and Stefan caught onto that and quickly left. He rushed to the bathroom where his breakfast, a few bunnies, came back up. The rest of the lesson was spent cleaning all the blood up. Stefan then headed to the cafeteria, where he sat at a table and leant his head against the surface.

"Don't worry. Tanner is like that to everyone. He likes humiliation." Elena said and Stefan looked up to meet her eyes. "Don't let him bring you down."

Stefan smiled softly at her and she took a seat.

"I'm Elena, and those are my best friends Bonnie and Caroline." Elena pointed at the two girls who waved and gave encouraging smiles.

"I'm Stefan," Stefan said. Elena nodded.

"Just asking, but are you usually this pale?" Elena asked and Stefan's eyes met the table again. He felt the shame. He was busted. Elena's fingers slowly made contact with Stefan's temple, when she rested her palm against his forehead.

"God, you're burning," she said. "I should take you to the school nurse."

Stefan shook is head.

"Elena, I'm fine really."

"You're not fine, Stefan. You're feverish. You should go home, really."

Stefan was silent. He didn't wanna go home. Damon was at home. And Zach was at home and he would question him on why he was sick. Stefan wasn't up for any of it so he lied.

"I can't go home. I forgot my keys this morning and my uncle isn't home yet." He said.

"Then let's ditch school and go to my place," Elena said. "There's no way, you're staying here."
