[ 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. )
Yeah. [ she says it lightly like it's not a big deal. ] I made it back in December when I was bored one day. [ she was very bored throughout december. she had no friends, no one to talk to, and no one to... well... do what she's doing with stefan. she had partly made it out of loneliness, too, but she doesn't want to admit that to herself. ]
The DeerlyBeloved one was made for me. I think it just generates on its own. [ she shrugs. she's not technically inclined nor does she really care about it. she'd logged in, it created itself, and she hasn't really bothered to look at it since.
but she does briefly let herself wonder what he thinks of it. maybe he doesn't care. she doesn't believe stefan would think of her in the same way as damon has come to over the years. ]
Have you made any friends with it? Or gotten any dates, I guess?
( stefan hasn't really gone looking so he doesn't have much of an opinion on either of them. he didn't even know she had them until just now. he hadn't gone looking for hers or anyone's so while he's curious, that's about all he is. )
I think I've done okay without either one of them. I've made...friends.
[ he can rest easy now... even though she doesn't particularly think he's asking out of any misplaced jealousy. ] I meet most people by saving their asses. [ and having hers be saved, but she has the good sense not to mention that. she does think he'd worry. ]
I remember. You've made a handful of female friends. [ not jealous at all btw; her tone does not imply it, even though it does shift and sound a lot lower and annoyed. it's good he has friends... it might do him some good to have a male friend, though. ]
( yes, he had made a handful of friends and yes, the majority of those friends happen to be female but he doesn't know what about that would make her tone go from what it typically sounds like to one of annoyance. )
Why do you sound like that? ( he's just going to come out and ask because he doesn't think she'll tell him without prompting. )
[ katherine frowns, looking confused. then, as innocently and perplexed as possible, ] What did I sound like?
[ she knows what she sounded like and she doesn't care to respond to his question about it, because then it means she has to face the fact that she is jealous that he has female friends.
she's turned into that person. sort of the person she was before but… more high school whiny… like caroline. god, she doesn't want to be that person. she doesn't care as long as none of them are stripping their clothes off with him. ]
( she definitely hadn't sounded happy and he'd been able to clearly hear a difference in tone. and he doesn't think katherine would slip from one tone to another without knowing. )
[ nothing is really all right. she's naked in bed with stefan salvatore and he's naked in bed with her, and she wants to be naked in bed with him tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. if she thinks about it too hard, she runs the risk of actually ruining this. ]
I'm fine. [ this time, her tone isn't annoying at all. she even smiles to relay the fact that she is. she doesn't want him to think she isn't. stefan having friends is a really good thing... it's good he has friends outside of mystic falls. ]
I'm just glad that you have friends that aren't from Mystic Falls. [ she tilts her head to the side, purposefully nuzzling into his side, and ensures her tone is very teasing, ] Have I mentioned that recently?
( she's deferring and he knows he is but he doesn't feel like pressing the subject especially when she's tucked against him and it feels as good as he does. he's selfish and he doesn't want to ruin that with a potentially uncomfortable conversation. )
What's wrong with my Mystic Falls friends? ( he laughs quietly as he says it, turning his face to look down at her. ) They're nice.
[ peering up at him, she rolls her eyes. ] Did you forget who your friends are in my amazing company?
[ clearly. who can blame him? truthfully, all his other friends are pretty forgettable... except for lexi, of course.
tapping her fingers lightly against his side, she shifts so that she can rest her head a little higher on his shoulder. ] Your friends are either very old, undead beings or they're literal teenagers. [ she shrugs, wanting him to physically feel how she's not exactly judging. she's in no place to, anyway. ] It's good you've expanded your social circle and met new people. You'll learn about different life experiences and things, and maybe finally be convinced to never go to school ever again in your long life.
( the school thing, that is. he laughs, giving his head a shake. if it's not his hair, it's the fact that he'd gone to school numerous times. he supposes there are worse things she could pick on him with so he doesn't really sound all that irritated. )
Going to school isn't that bad. I like learning.
( even if he'd learned almost all there was to know and lived through a lot of it as well. )
Why not college? [ she looks up at him pointedly, ] College men are hot. Not to mention, actually considered to be men.
[ just saying! does he not see how he's narrowing his horizons and opportunities by going back to freaking twelfth grade? why does he want to hang out with children so desperately? the football jerseys are pretty hot, but other than that, she doesn't get it. college, she can understand a little more. ]
You could pull off being a professor. You'd be like Indiana Jones, minus the whole… adventurer and exciting secret life.
I had no idea that Katherine Pierce was a career counselor.
( he chuckles, shaking his head. he doesn't think he's going to go back to school, high school or college, for awhile if again but it's amusing to hear her try and steer him away from high school. )
I'm not going to go to high school or college. I'm not really interested in doing that here.
[ she playfully pouts. ] And here I was, practicing my sideline cheering for your next football game.
[ she's so cut up about not being able to sit on any bleachers and watch boys run back and forth in the distance. her eyesight may be better than most, but even she hates football games. what's the point of going if she can't see anything?
but his answer makes her curious. who is stefan when he's not getting an education? he'd been receiving one in 1864, even if it lacked a classroom. a part of her is excited to find out. ]
( stefan can see her sticking around for a few moments of a football game, just enough to see that she hated it before she picked up her stuff and left to go shopping. )
I'm sorry to dash your hopes. I'm not going to be playing any football games here. There seems to be a lot of other things here that take up my time.
[ she arches her brow. sliding her hand to his chest, she draws various shapes against his skin with her fingertips. she has a feeling she knows his answer, but... it's never right to assume, is it? besides... she wants to hear him say it. ]
What could be more important than you in a jersey and very tight pants?
( he shrugs, curious if she's looking for a list or if just a general answer of 'stuff' is enough. )
Being friends with you, for one. ( he'd almost said being with you but he doesn't know how that would have gone over considering he's...not. because she's with someone else. )
[ he's stefan. of course, she wants a detailed list, but any desire she has in prodding him for one dies with his response.
it's her own fault. she peers up at him with a slight furrow to her brow and in surprise. her heartbeat picks up without her permission and she feels like she's on top of the world for him to consider his friendship with her to be one of the most important things in his life. while she's had some friends over the years, the most notable being pearl, she's never really had him as a friend.
she's trying to play it cool. ] It would make your friend very happy if you did wear very tight pants one day.
[ she rolls her eyes. ] Your jeans are not as good as those football tights.
[ does she wish she got to see him play football for that one hot minute? of course. she's sure he was pretty hot and had all the girls swooning. it's the only reason why she'd ever support him going back to school.
sometimes it was like he chose purposefully loose jeans that do nothing for his figure. her reason for liking his cute bed shorts is because they leave absolutely nothing to the imagination, and she likes that.
You can check but that doesn't mean I'm going to wear them.
( he likes his jeans and he likes the other pants he wears. he likes being comfortable and he doesn't know if he'd be comfortable in tight pants like she seems to want. )
My jeans might not be as good as football tights but I still like wearing them. And I'm comfortable in them. I don't need tight pants.
[ she smiles sweetly up at him, knowing that this could potentially be playing dirty. does she think stefan will do anything he can for her? yes, partly... she also knows he will straight up deny her if he wants to.
all she wants is for him to wear the football tights once to fulfil her footballer fantasy. it's just an added bonus her other fantasy is wearing them. ]
