[ how long would he wait? for eternity? he may not realise it, but he's hitting all the right buttons for a romantic like katherine. to her credit, she does try her best not to get swept up in the romance of it. they have their limitations, and half of this is just them talking. she hardly expects him to follow through.
leaning close enough to touch the tip of her nose against his, she scrunches up her face playfully before she pulls away. ]
You're horrible. [ she smiles and tries to hide her laugh; there's no malice in her voice. ] I just want one hint. Please?
[ does he now? colour her surprised. she was starting to get the impression stefan was a monk. ]
Give me a hint about one of your other fantasies.
[ she does partly expect him to pull back and zip his lips shut, but she's not katherine pierce if she doesn't press and try. but she genuinely wants to know. what is one of the things he fantasises about? ]
( but stefan doesn't immediately say anything. he just leans closer to hover near her lips, not quite kissing her but being close enough that she'd feel his breath against her lips.
katherine can't help but laugh, completely taken aback by him. where she thought he'd play coy and refuse to answer her... here he is, answering her. sometimes even stefan salvatore can surprise her. ]
Are you serious?
[ if he needs even further proof that she doesn't mind that idea, he'll hear her heartbeat pick up in excitement. ]
[ pinching her lips together, katherine does want to burst at the seams and ask him again and again until he breaks what it is he intends to do with those blindfolds. will he wear it so she can torture him? is it her that's required to trust him? she hates how excited she gets at the idea of him wanting to do something with her that totally crosses the line of a platonic friendship. ]
Fine.
[ she's doing her best to play it cool. turning her face away from his, she ensures to stretch out her naked body as if that's temptation enough for him to tell her everything. ] I hope I don't have to wait too long. You know how impatient I get.
What's that old saying? Good things come to those who wait?
( with her stretching in front of him, stefan moves closer and drops a quick peck of a kiss against her shoulder before stretching out himself, an easy smile on his face. )
If you just wait a little while, maybe you'll get that good thing, Katherine. Just maybe.
( she would definitely get it. just not right now. )
[ maybe he's right. what he thinks she needs to be patient for isn't what makes her believe that. it's taken over a century for him to be so carefree with her to the point where he does drop her kisses impulsively. katherine wants more of that. if she tells him so, he's going to be so self-aware of what he's doing that he'll stop. she smiles to herself, none too keen in letting him in on what's making her feel very happy.
watching him stretch for a moment, she then arches her brow. ] Maybe? Well, if I don't, you know how good I am at exacting my revenge.
[ he's going to be blue balled into the next century. ]
( he's very, very aware of how good she is at getting her revenge when she wants to. and when she does decide to take revenge, anyone in her path is going to get mowed over. )
But you'll get it. I don't tend to say things and not follow through, am I?
[ that's very true. the last thing he'd said he'd wanted to do, he's followed through with rather spectacularly. he's been a very good friend... better than most. but she doesn't particularly want to bring down their playful banter with that.
pursing her lips, she scrunches up her face playfully. she sighs, ] I suppose so...
[ she shifts so that she can lie pressed up against his side and lay her head on his shoulder. she glides her hand along his chest so she can palm his side. ] I might need a reminder. I've forgotten a lot of things since coming out of your bathroom with you. [ she pouts, ] I'm very old.
( much, much older than he is and sometimes, that's very evident but other times, she can also come off as very young. the innocent girl that he'd thought scraped out of her was still there. she was just well hidden. )
I'll be sure to give you reminders every so often. When I remember to, at least.
[ she scoffs and gives his side a light squeeze. ] Oh, please. You're practically a baby.
[ 170? that's barely anything. he's still so young in his immortal life. considering she's sort-of-dated-but-not-dated someone over 1,000… it's strange to think of how age seems to matter but not matter when you're immortal. ]
But if you think about how old we were when we turned… I'm only two years older than you. [ 17 and 19. they are so close in age, yet the lives they've lived and the different parts of the world they've experienced have sometimes made her feel so distant from him. she glances up at him with a cheeky smile, ] How does that make you feel that I'm still the oldest and therefore wisest?
( stefan trails off, tilting his head and making a face that clearly says he's not sure about that. he manages to hold that face for a few moments before he laughs and shakes his head. )
You probably adore being the older woman in all things. So you can use exactly that line.
[ she can't help but laugh when he laughs. she really likes his laugh, especially when he's being a dork. ] Is it not true?
[ is katherine fishing for a compliment? no. while they're very nice, stefan's kind words tend to overwhelm her these days. she wants him to keep his compliments in his pants... or maybe tucked beneath his pillow, given he's not exactly wearing anything right now. ]
I can't help but be the older woman. It's not like there's a dating app for immortals who are five centuries old or over.
[ she's glad she can kind of hide her face from him. there are only a few instances where katherine feels very much like the nineteen year old that she is in front of a boy she apparently likes, and that's when he decides to prop her up with a compliment when he may not have intended to.
trying to play it cool, she waits a moment before she even thinks to ask him why (something she's no doubt bound to regret). and when she does, it's with a smile she can't bite back. ] Why do you think I'd be very popular?
( most men were, unfortunately, shallow people and if they saw a woman who looks like katherine pierce, they'd be falling at her feet. and he knows that she could spice up a dating profile as well. )
Everyone would want to know you though I think you would find yourself talking to a lot of people that you otherwise not want to talk to. Ever.
[ even though she had asked for this, it's still overwhelming to hear him call her pretty. when did she stop being an immortal 500 year old and become a teenaged girl again? she blushes and she hopes he's none the wiser to it. ]
I'm sure there are interesting people on there who could hold a conversation, Stefan. [ she scoffs, wanting to bait him into complimenting her again. her own destruction will be caused by herself, urging stefan salvatore to keep calling her pretty. ]
( but he doesn't think there would be people on there who could hold katherine's attention for very long. maybe for a few minutes but she was a woman who had high standards and wouldn't just listen to some man talk about himself for hours on end. )
But, you're more interesting than any of those people that might put a profile on a dating app. And that's a fact.
[ she's clearly made a huge mistake asking him to pander to her desire to be complimented. katherine does her best not to alert him to the fact that she is completely blushing at his words, remaining still against his chest when she wants to turn her face into his side and hide. ]
You're not so bad yourself. [ honestly, he's not bad at all. she's surprised stefan doesn't have more people fawning over him, but she guesses his reclusive nature has worked in her favour of being able to horde him away. she keeps her voice as carefree and light as possible, ] I should make you a Staggr profile thing. You'd be a hit.
[ how is it that she's the oldest one here and yet she's the one who is technologically hip and cool?
and yes... she did look for him on staggr when she was bored back in december and found he wasn't there. it's not necessarily a surprise. she did look for him again in march and was unsurprised to find he still wasn't there. ]
It's a social media thing. [ she shrugs against him. ] You fill in some details about yourself and I guess people can swipe left or right. I think it's more of a friendship thing while DeerlyBeloved is more for dating. [ she smiles, peering up at him, ] You'd need a very cute picture.
( the friendship one he could...kind of see even if he preferred making friends in his own way but he doesn't know if he wants to do the dating thing. the last time he'd tried, he'd ended up abandoned and left behind and now he was...
he doesn't know what he is with katherine but he's something. )
