[ she lets her fingers continue to play with his hair. all she wants is for that tension to disperse and for him to allow himself to relax. he didn't seem overly keen on doing that before, but she's hopeful he will now. ]
( but there's a slight lightness to his voice. he feels like maybe he could doze off and rest a little bit. he doesn't think it'll last long but it might help. )
Don't be creepy, don't leave. So many rules, Stef.
[ she says it teasingly. she doesn't mind if those are his only rules, although she makes absolutely no promises on not being creepy. she continues to brush her fingers through his hair, hoping it's lulling him into some sense of relaxation. ]
[ while she pauses the movement of her fingers as he settles onto his side, she doesn't pull them from his hair. she shuffles closer to him and lets her gaze roam over his face. all she wants is for him to know that he's deserving of a gentle touch, even if he doesn't believe so after tonight's events.
quietly, ] I promise I won't, моето бебе вампир. I will be right here, watching you sleep.

You don't? [ she sounds disappointed. ] I'm hot. Why wouldn't you watch me?
[ she brushes her fingers through his hair in an attempt to fix it from being too mussy. ] I bet I'm hotter when I'm sleeping.
[ if she can get his mind temporarily out of the safe, then she will do her utmost best. ]

( that's not a bad thing. he sighs, trying to let her touch soothe him. )

[ it's all she can really think to say. katherine's never wondered what she looks like when she's asleep—she'd hope it's still intimidating.
walking her fingers into his hair, she keeps her gaze on her ministrations than him. ]
Are you saying I'm all hard angles and sharpness when I'm awake?
[ if this gets him to stop thinking about the safe, then she's good with it. ]

( when she was awake, her defenses her high and she carried around a lot of tension. nothing wrong with it, it was just how she was. )
That's all.
( his eyes are still closed and his words have slowed a bit. )
no subject
Do you want to know what you look like?
[ she doesn't wait for him to answer; she's invited herself to answer her own question. she keeps her tone gentle and low. ]
Still very, very handsome. Still broody. [ removing her hand from his hair for a moment, she brushes her fingertips between his brows. ] Peaceful.

( sounds like she'd just exposed her own little lie there. but he doesn't mind. it's nice to know she's noticed him that much.
he sighs, feeling his body slacken some. )
I'm tired.

So I can pretend I don't watch you.

I'll be creepy if I choose to be.
no subject
( stefan makes a face but he mostly just succeeds in turning on his side and settling down. )
Just don't leave.

he sighs, letting her touch lull him. it doesn't take too long before he makes himself a liar and falls asleep. )
