A/N: This is just something that popped into my head while watching the latest episode of Vampire Diaries. Even I don't know where it came from. It's weird. I know.

Reunion

"So..." Stefan said, rubbing his hands against his thighs awkwardly.

"So..." Edward mimicked, running his hand through his hair for what already seemed to be the hundredth time in the short while they had been seated in the Salvatore's living room.

"I hear you're married now?" Stefan offered, desperate to break the thick silence that was enveloping the room.

"Yeah... and I'm a dad, too."

"Oh, wow, that must have been unexpected."

"Who knew, right?"

"Yeah, totally... Boy or girl?"

"Girl named Renesmee."

Stefan's eye twitched from the exertion of trying to remain polite. "That's an... interesting name."

"It's fucking ridiculous. But Bella was a crazy bitch while she was pregnant so I thought it best not to rock the boat."

"I see."

The awkward silence descended once more. Even the cricket chirping in the corner was cringing.

"Edward-"

"Stefan-"

They both stopped talking at the same time, insisting the other go first for another excruciating minute.

The whole situation even got too awkward for the cricket, who decided to go seek out a less awkward situation, like Renesmee showing her grandparents images of her horny parents going at it while they thought she was asleep.

"Holy fuck, will you two just get it out already?" Damon erupted as he burst into the room. "So, you two had a one night stand while you were all emo about having to leave your human girlfriends for the greater good. Seriously, who hasn't been there before?"

Edward and Stefan glared at Damon, their eyes wide in stupefied disbelief. Damon sighed dramatically, shrugged his shoulders dismissively, rolled his eyes and sauntered out of the room again while shaking his head, knowing that the level of denial in the room was insurmountable.

"So..." Stefan began again after another moment of torturous silence.

"So..." Edward ran his fingers through his hair. Again.

"Global warming, huh?"

"Yeah... sucks."
