So, this is the first fanfiction I ~ever~ wrote. I thought I should start with Stefan and Elena. The story popped up in my mind a few days ago and I just needed to write it down. So here we go..

Elena was deeply lost in her thoughts while walking down the rainy streets of Mystic Falls. She hated walking Rusty, the dog of Mrs. Flowers, he was so tempestuous and unsustainable, pulling at the leash all the time. So annoying. But it was her job, and the only way to get some money into her pockets. After her parents had died and Jeremy moved away, she was living all alone in the Gilbert House. She had still some money from her parents left, but how long would that last?

Rusty pulled her out of her thoughts by wrapping his green long dog-leash around a street lamp that he actually wanted to pee against, well, at least it seemed like he was trying to do that to Elena. She watched him for a moment before shaking her head at him in amusement.

"No, Rusty, baby, what are you doing there again?" she asked laughing. But the dog ignored her, just like he always did, until he was wrapped up around that lamp and made puppy eyes at her.

A quiet "wou" came from him as he looked up at her hopefully. With that Elena was on her knees and trying to get Rusty off of the street lamp but she didn't really notice someone huge standing behind her, not until he started talking.

"Ohh, looks like a big problem you're having there with this little buddy" the man said, chuckling softly behind Elena.

Elena furrowed her brows together into a light from on her forehead as she turned her head to look up at the man.

He was gorgeous.. Light brown hair, sparkling green eyes that bore into you in a wonderful way and had a very muscular figure. The black dark leather jacket he was wearing made his eyes shine and his blue shirt emphasized the abs under his shirt.

Elena couldn't even breathe for a moment. "Umm, errr.. yes, he's a little beast.. " she finally managed to say with a smile.

"Let me help you with that!" The man offered and kneeled down next to her, not looking at her as he reached his hands out to unwrap the dog. He struggled hard with the leash and Elena couldn't help it but stare at his arms while he did so. They seemed so strong that she just wanted to be held by them. As the stranger noticed her starring he turned his head slowly over to her and gave her an adoringly warm smile, making her melt in the moment.

She was lost in his beautiful green eyes and that smile. Oh dear. The man finally managed to pull the dogs leash off of the street lamp and offered it to Elena, but she was just starring at him in awe, so he nudged her gently.

"Hello, Miss..?" he asked carefully, but still with that smile on his lips.

"Oh yeah right, sorry... I was.. " she shrugged slightly. "I was lost in thoughts, I guess." He nodded quickly and got up from the ground, offering her his hand kindly. She took his hand and smiled back up at him, before pulling Rusty next to her feet.

"Thank you for your help" she said with a slight nod of her head and turned a little in attempt to leave, but the man grabbed her arm softly. "Wait, umm.. I didn't catch your name. I'm Stefan, Stefan Salvatore."

Her name? She hadn't even mentioned her name. What was he talking about?

She looked down at his hand on her arm for a brief moment before looking back up and into his eyes, which caught her immediately. "My name?" she asked quietly and Stefan nodded.

"Yeah, your name. I mean you have one, right?" he cocked his eyebrow at her, smirking a little at the stupid question he just asked her. "Umm, yeah, of course I have a name." Elena told him with a sly laugh. "I'm Elena Gilbert"

Stefan smiled when she laughed, what a cute laugh she had. He was amazed at her by the second he had seen her kneeling on the lamp, that brown, dark, long hair, her slender figure which seemed to be perfect and that chocolate eyes.

He wanted her and he would get her.

"Well, Elena." He grinned. "May I invite you for a coffee or a muffin?" He asked with highly raised eyebrows, smiling widely at her.

She didn't know what to think about this guy. So she shook her head. "Nah, I have to walk Rusty back to his owner, she'll worry if I don't bring him home in the right time." Elena said and tried to turn again, but Stefan held her thight, not wanting to let her go by now.

"Mind if I join you, then? I mean I kinda saved Rusty from strangling himself." He offered.

Why wouldn't he let go of her, just like that. She didn't even know him.

"Umm. Well, I guess you can join.. " she nodded quickly and he finally let go of her arm.

During their walk through Mystic Falls Elena figured out that Stefan wasn't that bad to hang out with, they only had some small talk but he made her laugh from times to times.

So after she gave Rusty back to Mrs. Flowers and they were walking alone towards Elena's house, because he wanted to bring her home so badly. "What if you get kidnapped on your way home? It would be my fault." He had asked to convince her on leading her home.

They reached her house quickly, and he leaned against the frame of her front door smiling at her. "It was nice to meet you today, Elena." He said and she looked at him from the corner of her eyes. "Why did you want to get to know me?" She asked curious. His lips tucked up into an even wider smile. "Because you seemed nice." He answered her honest.

She frowned in disbelief, shaking her head. He just nodded to confirm his reason, but she just couldn't believe him. He tried so hard to get to know girls just because they seemed nice?

"And.. do I get another date with you?" he tucked her out of her thoughts and tilted his head at her questioning.

She lifted her eyebrows in surprise. "Another date? This was a date." He was confusing her a little with his words.

"No, but Friday at 8 would be one.." He nodded and started walking down the stairs of her porch, turning one last time back to her. "8pm on Friday. I'll be here." he said while walking off.

"No, what wait.. " Elena shook her head helplessly, she didn't know why but laughed at this. "But I didn't say yes." she yelled after him but he just tossed his hand up in the air as if he didn't care.
