Hey everyone! So I know it's been ages – literally it's been like six months since I was last on here – I've just been busy with school and a novel I've been working on (a few actually). I just haven't gotten any inspiration lately, but then in December this idea hit me and I started writing, didn't complete it, but I kept coming back to it and working on it…anyway, I'm thinking I'll continue it, hopefully! Oh yeah, this is completely AU. So without further adieu, here you go!
Caroline smiled. It was Autumn, the trees were bright shades of yellow, orange and vibrant red. A light wind picked up, blowing the sweet scent of crisp autumn air and a light hint of sweat around Caroline, her softly curled tousled locks of blonde hair gently moving across her face. With her right hand she swiftly moved the hair off to the side and tucked it behind her ear. The sound of a whistle signaling the end of the seniors practice brought Caroline's attention back to the field. She saw him take of his helmet, run a hand through his sweaty hair and then his figure jogging toward the water table. She grinned, stood from where she sat on the bleachers and walked down the steps, skipping towards him. When she approached him, she came to a slow walk and circled the table before stopping in front of him on the other side. His gaze from the field fell as he brought his water bottle to his lips and drank from it. Caroline walked around the table and stood in front of him within seconds.
"Hey baby." She whispered.
He removed the water bottle from his mouth and a goofy smile took its place, "Hey."
Caroline closed the gap between them and kissed him softly on the cheek. "Was it a good practice?"
He nodded and encircled his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "Mhm, it was."
Placing her hands on his chest, she smiled up at him, "That's good. You did great out there."
"Mhm," He said as he brought his face to her neck and started to kiss it, "Glad you noticed." He murmured against her smooth skin.
Caroline giggled as she slowly tilted her head downward and slightly to the side. "Stefan..." She warned, "Your coach is right there."
"So? I don't care." His lips brushed against the skin of her neck as he continued kissing it. "He doesn't seem to either."
She sighed softly as Stefan pulled her hips closer to him. "Your whole team can see." Caroline whispered.
"I'm sure I'm making them jealous right now. I have a beautiful girlfriend." His voice was soft as he moved his mouth to the other side and started kissing that as well.
Caroline smiled at his comment, "But Jeremy's here..." She advised.
"Jer can watch, he could learn a thing or two. It's not like he hasn't seem or done this before." He remarked, "Trust me, he's seen and done worse things when we go out with the team."
Caroline's jaw dropped, agape. She playfully hit him in the shoulder, "Stefan!" She scolds.
"He's a teenage boy, Care."
"I know, I know, I just don't need to know the things he does when he's with you guys."
Stefan chuckled and returned his lips to their previous task. Caroline ran her hands along the seventeen on the front of his jersey.
"Want to come over after you get all showered and clean? Mom will be home late." Caroline whispered in his ear.
"Hmm," Stefan murmured. "Or I could come over now, take a shower, maybe you could join me?" He rasped.
"Mhm, I'd like that. But Jer would be home."
Stefan shrugged, "So? He needs to learn these things."
Caroline rubbed her hands up and down his chest, "You're right." She reasoned.
"I know," He smirked.
Ever since Elena and Damon left, after Klaus returned to Mystic Falls for a second time but this time with Stefan and Rebekah. Jeremy came to live with Caroline and her mother. Since Caroline was mostly home alone all the time, Sheriff Forbes didn't mind Jeremy coming to live with them. He would be good company for Caroline, and he was. Jeremy's moving in had definitely brought them closer together, making their relationship stronger. They were like brother and sister now, Jeremy would do anything to protect Caroline and vise versa.
"You okay, baby?" Stefan questioned.
Caroline came out of her revive and saw Stefan had pulled away from her neck, now looking at her with furrowed brows and a concerned expression.
She nodded and smiled, "Mhm."
"Hey, Care!"
The two of them turned to see whose voice that was. Jeremy jogged over to them, in his number twenty-one jersey looking sharp.
Caroline slowly pulled a little away from Stefan, "Hey, Jer!" She smiled.
"What's for dinner tonight?" He asked as he picked up his water bottle and started drinking from it. "I'm starving!"
Caroline thought for a moment, "Hmm. I was thinking Italian, maybe some pasta or pizza."
Jeremy chuckled, "But you can't cook Italian."
Which was true, Caroline was the worst cook. She could only make toast and even that always turned out burned.
She glanced at Stefan, "But I know someone who can!"
Stefan cocked his head to the side, with a playful smirk gracing his lips. "I'm not that great."
Caroline nodded, "You're from Italy. You'd be a better cook than either Jer or I."
"Yeah Stefan, you might even get a reward for doing it!" Jeremy teased as a smirk crossed his lips and he waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"Jeremy!" Caroline scolded while Stefan laughed, Jeremy joined in with him. Caroline sharply turned to Stefan, pointing her finger at him. "You've been warring off on him!" Jeremy just chuckled at the two, shaking his head as he picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder. "You need to set an example, Stefan." Caroline continued to scold.
"Yeah Stefan you should be setting an example!" Jeremy teased.
Caroline turned to him, a silent warning on her face, "Jer, be quiet."
Stefan put both his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them up and down Caroline's arms. "I'm sorry, Care. From now on, I'll be responsible and set an example."
Caroline smiled up at him, pleased. "Okay, good."
She leaned upward and gave Stefan a peck on the lips.
Jeremy groaned in disgust as a playful smirk graced his lips, "Get a room." He joked.
Caroline pulled away from Stefan and rolled her eyes, and started walking towards her brother. She linked her arm with his and ruffled a hand through his brown hair.
"Go take a shower, you stink!" Caroline teased, she plugged her nose, "Ohh, Jer, that's disgusting. The aura permitting off you is causing nothing to come near you." A fly buzzing by him fell to the ground. "See, your stench killed a fly." A sophomore cheerleader started walking towards them, Angela was her name, stopped and turned the other way. "Jer you're repelling women with your smell. Women are literally turning around and walking the other way due to how badly you stink! Let's get home so you can take a shower."
"Want to be my company?" He quipped.
Caroline's face changed into horror. "Eww, Jer!" She shrieked as she pushed him and slapped his shoulder. "That's gross! You're like my brother!" She glanced back at Stefan, smiling before looking back at Jeremy. "You've been hanging out with the football team too much!"
Jeremy laughed. "Oh what would I do without you, Care?"
She smiled, "Probably crash and burn or you'd be a football d-bag who thinks he's all that, oh wait you already are!" Caroline teased.
Stefan laughed, Jeremy looked back at him, smiling, trying to hold back his own laughter. He wrapped his right arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him.
He sighed, "I love you."
She kissed him on the cheek before resting her head on his shoulder. "I love you too, Jer."
She pulled away from him, placing her hand in his. With her other hand she ruffled through his hair again.
"Now get to the car, you stink!"
He chuckled with a nod and started walking, turning around and walking backwards he smiled at Caroline before looking to Stefan. "See ya later, Stefan." he faced forward and continued on walking to the car.
Caroline looked at Stefan, taking quick strides to be in front of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her face closer to his. "Hey baby." She whispered.
Stefan smiled as he went in to capture her lips in his but at the last second he dodged them and moved to her ear, "Hey you." His lips brushed against her ear, sending shivers all over her body. He smirked against her ear, knowing that she was pouting because he had tricked her and didn't kiss her.
"So, are you going to come over now or after you get cleaned up and showered?"
"I was thinking of going for a hunt..." He trailed off.
"Stefan." Caroline gave him a warning look that had a hint of concern.
He pulled her closer to him, "Don't worry baby, I know, no humans. I was thinking of going after Thumper," He sighed and looked to the right, pursing his lips as he felt his fangs with his tongue, he needed blood now! "Or maybe Bambi."
Caroline nodded, "Okay, just be careful." Her fingers rubbed the base of his neck, in a soothing, circular motion. "I don't want you getting hurt, it'll be dark soon."
"I'll make it quick. Besides I wouldn't want to leave my beautiful, neurotic," He moved his lips to her left cheek, kissed it and did the same to her right cheek. "Sexy," He kissed her lips. "girlfriend waiting now would I?" He spoke between kisses.
Caroline sighed as she tilted her head to the side letting Stefan kiss down her neck. "How long will you be?"
"An hour, the latest." He murmured against her skin.
Caroline moaned, "That's too long. I need you sooner."
"I'll try my best to hurry." He promised.
She pulled back a little, glanced around the field. Everyone had left, the field was empty. She placed her left hand on his face, softly stroking. While with the other hand she wrapped a finger in the top of his uniform pants, pulling him closer. "I want you." She whispered.
With his index finger he placed it under her chin and tilted her head up, looking at him. "I know you do and I want you too." He kissed her, pulled away smiling. "Now get to the car, Jer's been waiting for awhile."
She smiled. "Okay, be safe. I'll see you soon." She pulled him down, capturing his lips in hers. "I love you." She breathed.
"I love you too." Stefan whispered.
She smiled, "I'll see you later."
He grinned, "See you, baby."
She turned and started walking only to feel his eyes trailing down her back and resting at her backside. She looked over her shoulder at him and smirked, giving him a knowing look. He chuckled and playfully shook his head. When she reached the car, Jeremy was leaning against it, arms folded over his chest.
"Took you long enough!"
"I can smell you from over here!"
"Let's go home, I'm hungry and I need a shower." Jeremy said as he got into the passenger seat.
She rose her eyebrows and nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah you do!" She closed the drivers door behind her.
He playfully glared at her, growing impatient.
"Okay, okay." She started the car and reversed from the spot. "Let's go home."
