Imagine Person A crying and sniffling a bit as they're standing over the kitchen counter. Person B comes over and hugs them, asking what's wrong, when A smiles. Turns out they were cutting up onions.
Katherine was laying outside, relaxing on a sun lounger. Only clad in her blood red bikini and large sunglasses covering her eyes, she was soaking in the hot rays of the sun.
That was when her vampire hearing suddenly picked up on some sniffling. Curious she sat up, supporting herself on her elbows and narrowing her eyes as she strained her ears to figure out where exactly the sound was coming from.
Turned out it actually came from behind her. In fact from inside the house that belonged to the garden where she was currently sunbathing.
The very same house Elena had disappeared into not long ago, to start preparing dinner.
Katherine quickly got up and threw her cardigan on, making her way back inside the coolness of the house. It was quite refreshing compared to the summer heat outside.
It took Katherine a couple seconds to adjust her eyes to the darker environment, but then she could see her girlfriend standing at the kitchen counter, crying and sniffling a bit as she seemed to quickly cut something with a knife.
„Hey." Katherine murmured softly, quickly closing the distance between them.
She wrapped her arms around Elena's waist, gently hugging her from behind.
„What's wrong?" She asked, not being able to completely hide the concern from her voice.
To say she was surprised when Elena's head turned to smile widely at her was an understatement. Actually, Katherine was quite dumbfounded, when her girlfriend proceeded to burst out laughing at her.
The older vampire furrowed her brows as she dropped her arms and took a step back. What the hell?
„You're so cute." Elena giggled at Katherine's confused face. Then she put her arms around her neck and pressed a kiss to Katherine's pouting lips, which only added to her girlfriend's confusion.
„Nothing's wrong," she said once she pulled back. „I'm simply cutting onions."
Elena laughed again, mixed with a sniff as she wiped at her teary eyes. Now comprehending everything, Katherine started laughing, too. This situation was just too ridiculous, but in a funny way of course.
„Well good, I thought something might have happened." She explained, giving Elena another kiss. „But since everything's good in here, I'll get back to my sunbathing."
Katherine smirked and was already turning around to leave again, when a small hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
„Nuh uh. You're not leaving. Now that you're in here, you can help me make dinner!" Her girlfriend ordered, grinning at her.
„But-" Katherine began, but one eyebrows-raised look from Elena had her cut herself off.
„Fine." She grumbled reluctantly, knowing every other protest would be futile.
„Perfect." Elena clapped her hands together in glee, pressing a quick kiss to Katherine's lips, causing her girlfriend to smile again.
Then she proceeded to tell her girlfriend what to do and soon enough they were happily chattering and exchanging kisses every now and then while making themselves some delicious pasta.
