Draw me a smile.

"Can you smile for me?"

Caroline knows that sometimes she tends to be terribly irritating, but she doesn't like the inexpressive look on Jeremy's face.

"I'm not in the mood of smiling."

The boy keeps twirling his pencil, his eyes focused on a blank page of his drawing pad.

"Just a small smile!" Caroline insists.

"Stop it."

"Just one, Jer!"

"Will you just stop, please?

Nevertheless, Caroline isn't going to give up; she just can't.

She won't stop being annoying, if ignoring Jeremy's grumpy murmuring will help her make him smile.

"If you don't want to smile, then draw it!" she finally suggests.

Jeremy rolls his eyes, while Caroline's hand forces his fingers to reach the first blank page.

The boy snorts, but then he doodles something similar to a checked half-moon.

"Happy?" he asks.

The unexpressive look on his face deepens, as Caroline takes the drawing pad to observe the doodle.

"Are you sure this is a smile?" she asks then, waving the pad under his nose.

"It looks more like a slice of orange to me. Or a slice of watermelon. An oranmelon, perhaps? I didn't know you liked drawing fruit!"

When she lifts her gaze to meet Jeremy's eyes, she's not surprised to recognize a little grin on his face.

Caroline won.

"There you go!" she happily exclaims, ruffling his hair.

"Now it's definitely better!"

Jeroline (Caroline/Jeremy) is my favourite TVD ship in terms of friendship or as a couple. I think they'd make a really great couple. I think they're probably pretty close since they grew up together. I would love to see more of them together in the tv serie. I wrote three of four one-shots about this friendship, and this is the shortest one, so I thought I could try to translate it just to see if I could do it. (I'm Italian). I hope there aren't too many mistakes! Hopefully I'll improve in time.

Thank you very much for reading!
