[ With Pepper the puppy in tow, Caroline makes her way to Stefan's place. After the most awkward group therapy, she kind of just wants a break, honestly. Therapy can do that to you, give you clarity, make you realize what you want or what, really, you need. Because while her mind still aches thinking about how complicated everything is, she's pretty sure of what her heart needs, what it wants now, even if it's selfish.

Standing at his door, she takes in a breath before knocking, glancing down at Pepper and hoping that Stefan's home. Normally, she'd bring a bottle of something or maybe some food, but right now, she feels to anxious to eat and well, drinking is probably not the best idea considering the black wrist band on her arm and the one that matches it on his.]

[And that was exactly it. Katherine only cared about herself, had been that way for a long time. Maybe it was a product of circumstance, of being on the run for so long, but Stefan doubted it was that entirely. Caroline cared too much about other people to ever become that.

Her words catch him by surprise, though his expression is by no means unhappy about the question.]

Really? You're sure? [His fingers reach up to tuck a lock of blonde hair behind one of her ears.] And here I thought you'd never ask.

[ At his surprise and his words, she laughs a little shyly, burying her face into his chest for a moment, smiling against his skin.] Yeah, I'm sure. [ She lets her fingers trace a little squiggle along his shoulder.] It's getting a little frustrating, if you know what I mean. [ Her eyes lift to meet with his, her expression suggestive.

But it's so much more than that, she knows he knows that, it's in her smile when she sees him, the way she comes to him when she worries or when something exciting happens. It's not just sex or the need for something physical to keep you sane. It's frustrating because she wants to be close and maybe she wants to somehow prove that this, this thing between them, is worth it, that it means something. That hurting Tyler won't be in vain.]

[One side of his mouth curled up into a knowing smirk, his own expression equally suggestive.]

I know exactly what you mean.

[The words said against her lips as he leans in to kiss her. He's sick of having to be careful, of watching what he does, just as before he'd been sick of having to watch what he'd say in case it hurt someone's feelings. Not that he would go out of his way, because he didn't want to upset Caroline, but he just wanted to be able to act on how he felt instead of waiting.

He'd done enough of that in his life.]

HAD TO DO IT

[ The elation she feels goes through her like a wave of heat, her whole body feeling as if it might spring back to life, like her heart might start beating, beating right out of her chest. She hums softly against his lips, pulling him closer, kissing him until her body starts to react.

Of course, instead of pulling him on top of her, she feels the most unpleasant jolt, a shock that makes her pull back with a pained gasp. Her eyes clench shut as she curses softly, her hand moving to grip just below her wrist where that black band resides. She sucks in a breath through clenched teeth--] Dammit.

[Stefan doesn't exactly come away unscathed, because really, what guy wouldn't react to that kind of kiss?

He sucks in a pained breath through his teeth as they are forced to jerk away from one another, and after hearing her swear beside him, he can't quite hold back the touch of laughter that bubbles up in his chest.]

Sorry. Not funny.

[Even though he's still smiling as he's rubbing at his wrist. Oops.]

	[ Good point. And when he pulls back, laughing, she can't help but laugh too. She gives him a playful push with her other hand.] Totally not funny. [ She laughs again, grabbing her wrist.] Okay, so we definitely need wrist bands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sooner rather than later. [He moves with the push of her hand, laying back down against the mattress.] Tomorrow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How about the day after tomorrow? Just to give some space from the whole therapy thing. [ Namely Tyler. In case people find out.]

We can go up to the podium together. [ She pauses, glancing down at him before laying down.] Should we keep it a secret or... just kinda be whatever. [ Caroline is awful at being whatever but at the same time she feels bad for thinking they should keep it a secret at all. But Tyler and Elena and Damon, ugh.]

	[He rolls towards her onto his side, his eyes tracing the lines of her face and hair.] Sure, that's fine. [He ponders that for a moment.] I don't really see a reason to keep it a secret, but there's no need to seek them out about it either. They know the important parts already.

	You mean the parts where we got it on. [ She laughs softly, moving to press a kiss to his arm.] But yeah, I didn't mean to hide it or lie, I just figured we've already advertised enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-10-07 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [He laughs as well, running a hand over her hair.] No, the prison has done that enough for us, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amplified 2013-10-07 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	It's a nosy ass-- [ she raises her voice at that as if the prison might hear it.] Although I guess I shouldn't insult it if I'm asking for a favor. [ She kind of hates that she has to ask for permission to have sex. It's a little... creepy.] It's like this place is a prison but at the same time, it doesn't feel that way, you know?

	I know exactly what you mean. [He breathes out as he looks up at the ceiling briefly.] It'd almost feel like a vacation, if we didn't know that we couldn't ever leave. (Reply to this) (Parent)
