A/N: Another quick one shot. Elena/Stefan. Seriously, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson we need more Stelena, like NOW. ^_^
They were one.
A pair, a couple, together, lovers. It didn't matter, as long as they were together.
Elena sighed letting the water run down her face wiping away her silent tears that cascaded down her cheeks. She kept her sobs silent, and clutched her arms to her body as she shook. The water had long gone grown cold, and she had lost any body heat she had, had since. Barely noticing the bathroom door creak open, or the curtain for the shower being pulled open, she kept her eyes closed tight and just tried to breathe.
Inhale, Exhale. In, out. It was all it took. "Elena." Came his voice, strong, thick, near.
The water continued to fall down around her, chilling her to the bone. "Elena." He repeated a bit more harshly.
Finally, Elena forced her eyes open, forcing herself to face whatever terrible nightmare that was haunting her now. "Wha-" she began. It took her a moment to register who stood before, she drank in the features of his face, the look in his eyes, the way his hand rest on her shoulder ever so gently. "Ste-fa-n." She said, her voice shaking as she pronounced his name.
"Sh.." he whispered softly, pulling her body against his. After so many months without touching her, being with her, it felt right. To be holding her like this as she cried and shook. "Look at me." He whispered.
She titled her head up to look at him, and their foreheads touched. "I love you." He whispered, his lips meeting with hers.
It was all it took, those three simple words Elena had been waiting to hear for a while now. She just nodded before her arms locked around his neck, and her lips returned the kiss. Locked in a fiery passion, they made it from the bathroom to her bed, and became tangled in the other, becoming one.
They were one.
