Caroline loved Carnivals. That was no secret, whenever the annual carnival came to Mystic Falls in the summer she was the one to demand everyone to come with her. She loved everything about it. The rides, the food, the kids, the circus. Everything. She was like a little kid of disney land.
So on the day of the carnival, she walked inside the Boarding House looking for her boyfriend.
Instead she found Damon and Elena on the couch. Awkward, she thought.
"Every heard of knocking, Blondie?" He practically growled at her. Asshole, she thought as she rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your make-out session but I'm looking for Stefan." She says, lifting one perfect eye brow at Damon.
"Upstairs." He points up the stairs, and goes back to Elena, ignoring Caroline who still hasn't left the room.
"Fine." She rushes up the stairs, anxious to get out of the room.
She walks to her boyfriend's room, leaning to the side of the door watching as he puts on a shirt in front of the mirror.
"Admiring the view?" He asks, laughing. Noticing her wide eyes, silently watching him.
"Not my fault my boyfriend has such a hot bod." She winks at him, smirking slightly.
He walks to her, kissing her slowly and passionately. He smiles and asks her if she's ready to go. She bites her lip and nods.
"Beware though, the two lovebirds are downstairs." She says loud enough for Damon to hear. He smirks at her, and they both walk downstairs and out the door under minutes.
Stefan loved to see Caroline like this. This was his Caroline. The human, childish, happy, perky Caroline he loved so much.
When they arrived to the Carnival and paid for the entry, she rushed them to different rides and games ("Look Stefan! Let's go to the Ferris Wheel!" "So I can kiss you on top?" "if you're that romantic." "Of course I am."). Then buying food; some cotton-candy and popcorn ("it wouldn't be a carnival without it!").
When they were down with the food and rides, He saw there were some games. The usual throw-something-at-target-and-win-a-stuffed-animal game. He grabbed the ball from the counter, getting ready to throw it at the target.
"Stef, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to win my girlfriend a prize." He says, smiling.
"Oh." She smiles brightly back at him. She loved the normalcy of this, they could easily pretend they were a normal High School human couple.
He threw the ball at the target effortlessly. The man behind the counter praised him, telling him he had quiet the arm.
"He does, doesn't he." She says, nodding her head to Stefan, checking out his tattooed arm. He knew she thought it was the sexist thing ever.
The man ask him what he wanted as a prize. Stefan looked at the choices, he pointed to a brown Teddy Bear on top.
When he got it, he gave it automatically to Caroline. She hugged it, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"A teddy bear to my little Care Bear." He says softly and affectionately, brushing his nose with her own.
She giggles and he laughs because it's contagious like that. She blushes and kisses him.
She was his Care-Bear and he never wanted that to change.
