“I sleep better if you’re around.” @humanitybled // elena.
both pairs of eyes were still closed, still resting as they laid toogether in elena’s bed. jenna had allowed stefan to spend the night given that it had been a friday and there was no school the next day. not that they didn’t spend nights like this even without her aunt’s permission. but this? this was better. not having to sneak around, or break rules, not having to listen to damon or his snide comments.
just them. together.
with his face buried in elena’s neck, stefan listened to the rhythm of her steady heart beating, his thumb a gentle caress against the side of her hand. feeling her shift in his arms, he kissed at the nape of her neck, nudging her with his nose and breathing a raspy ‘mm, good morning,’ against her skin. he smiled a gentle smile at her words, nodding his head in agreement while he gave her another welcoming kiss.
tightening his arms around her middle to snuggle her back closer, her body curving perfectly to fit against his, stefan kisses her softly, finding her warm cheek and nuzzling into it. “i could get used to this,” he muttered back softly, nuzzling behind his girlfriend’s ear, his lips just barely brushing the shell of it. “just you,” he kissed her neck softly, sweetly, his whole body warm and completely wrapped around hers. “and me.”
