A part of Stefan was excited for his..."humanhood", but another part was discouraged by it. Elena had to deal with being a vampire now, learning all the cravings, learning the pains. If she was still human, there was no doubt in his mind that he would have been having a completely different conversation with his girlfriend than what she should be eating and how often she should partake of blood. That thought hurt. This was probably the only chance he would ever have to fulfill the dream of a family with her...and he couldn't. But he wasn't going to let that ruin his time of mortality. His best friend in the world also just so happened to be human and she hadn't seen the sun in too long, and hell, they hadn't gone out and had fun in a while. That was going to change.

Stefan pulled a green hoodie on over his wifebeater and zipped it up as he made his way across the apartment to Lexi's room. Carefully, he gave a little knock to the door, one of his brows raising as he tried to listen in on what she was up to; it was so strange adjusting to being human after a century and a half and he actually felt naked without his ring. "Lex...I hear they have all-you-can-eat pancakes at that little place down the street. Wanna go? Then we can go swimsuit shopping." He took a step back and waited for her, absently stroking the vervain pendant in his pocket.
