Caroline's eyes fluttered open, she felt an unknown warmth against her back. She slowly turned her head to find that that unknown warmth was Stefan, who happened to be spooning her. She couldn't help but smile she knew it was wrong, but she couldn't fight the attraction that she had towards her best friend. None of Caroline's other relationships with guys had worked, and she couldn't help but feel like that was because she was meant to be with someone else. In her mind, that someone else happened to be Stefan. She decided not to move, and pretended to be asleep, just in case he ended up waking up.
(Stefan's POV)
I woke up very in the morning, it was right around dawn. I looked in front of me, and found a feisty blonde. Caroline, man she was the best thing that ever happened to me and I cannot believe how lucky I am to have met her. I can't help but take all of her in, I don't even understand how I thought Elena could even compare to her. She was a good person, loyal, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. I pulled her into a cuddle so that I was the big spoon and she was the small spoon, we fit together so well and it felt so natural. I want to ask her out, but things with her and Tyler ended not that long ago, and I don't want to push her too hard. I decide to pretend to fall back asleep as I feel her start to stir.
(Caroline's POV)
I decide to get bold, so I turn him around to face him. I start leaving little kisses all across his face. It was at that moment that I realized from his beating heart that he was wide awake and letting me kiss him. I pulled back and looked into his eyes, I could see that he was giving me consent. I pulled his face back to mine and started to kiss him again this time, but deeper and more passionately, also this time he started to kiss me back. Eventually, I realized what we were doing and pulled back, I mean this was my best friend, why am I kissing him? I thought for a little bit and then got up the courage to ask him, "What are we doing? We are best friends, nothing more. The first time I met you you told me that." Stefan looked at me like I just kicked a puppy and responded slowly, "Look, I know what I said, but that was before I got to know you. You are the most amazing person I have ever backed up even more and looked at him and replied angrily, "No, if I call correctly what happened was I asked you to come with me and you flat out told me that we were never going to happen! The only difference between now and then is that you can't have Elena now, so I'm just your consolation prize!" "That's not true Caroline, I have been falling for you for a long time now without even realizing it! I am in love with you, not Elena, not Katherine, not anyone else! I swear, I have never felt for anyone the way I do for you, not even Elena," Stefan told her with all of his heart. At this point I melted and said, "So what are we now?" Stefan put his finger up to answer, "Well unless you have any problem with it, I would like to think that we are dating." "Well," Caroline responded coyly, "I mean, I don't really know if I want you as a boyfriend, at least not as long as you keep your serious vampire face up." Stefan laughed at that and playfully hit her. I knew that this was going to be the start of something new and great.
