Elena woke up and saw that Caroline was nowhere in sight. She giggled to herself, knowing that she was probably with Klaus right now. Elena thought back to her afternoon with Stefan, she really loved getting to know him and she wanted to know more. She wanted to know his fears, his dreams, his likes, his dislikes, everything. She wanted to know everything that there is to know about him. She really liked Stefan, which she though was crazy. She had known him what, 2 weeks, and she already felt so strongly about him. She never believed in love, or like, at first sight but maybe it does exist; maybe she's living a perfect fairytale.

Caroline creeped into the room, hoping Elena was still asleep. When she saw Elena smiling in bed she was confused, Elena hates waking up early. Now she's waking up and smiling instantly?

"Why are you smiling like you've just been told the best news ever?" Caroline asked.

"Hey, I'm supposed to be the one asking you questions!" Elena pointed her finger at Caroline and she blushed, she had spent all night with Klaus, doing things that definitely broke camp rules.

"There's not much to say really." Caroline tried to play it off cool but Elena knew by Caroline's smile that there was much to say.

"Caroline Forbes are you forgetting that I'm your best friend, you have to share with me!" Elena teased and they both started giggling.

"Fine! It was amazing. We talked for a while and then we went back to his room. God, I never knew foreplay could be better than the actual thing." Caroline exclaimed, making Elena blush. She didn't mind talking about sex, but it would still make her blush like a catholic schoolgirl.

"Gross Caroline!" Elena joked, throwing her head into her pillow.

"You're just mad you haven't gotten any with Stefan." Caroline teased. Elena allowed herself to think about what sex would Stefan would be like. Suddenly she panicked, what if it's just a repeat of what it was like with Matt?

"So, does this mean you're having a summer fling?" Elena asked, changing the subject to distract herself from her thoughts.

"I don't know, I'm just going to see where it goes. I'm okay it going either way." Caroline told Elena. She wanted time to get over Tyler, and she wanted time to just be free and single. But it didn't mean she wasn't opposed to some steamy sex whilst doing so.

"I'm proud of you Care." Elena told her friend. They hugged and then began to get dressed. Both deciding on simple outfits, not knowing what they were doing today.

They were sat on their beds, gossiping about mindless things when they heard a knock on the door. A minute later Stefan entered, smiling one of his award winning smiles that made Elena's heart melt.

"Ladies, get your asses out of bed because we have plans." Stefan joked.

"Oh yeah? What are those plans exactly." Elena asked, she wasn't aware of how hard she was smiling.

"We are going rock climbing." Stefan told them and both Caroline and Elena looked at each other.

"No!" They both shouted in union.

"Why not?" Stefan asked.

"I am petrified of heights and Elena hates activity that requires effort." Caroline spoke and Elena glared at her, she wasn't as lazy as Caroline was suggesting so she was going to prove otherwise.

"You know what. Why not? It'll be fun trying new things." Elena grinned, making Stefan smile and Caroline groan. However, Elena regretted this as soon as she said it, she didn't exactly hate heights but she hated the idea of falling from a height. Whenever her feet couldn't touch any surface she always started panicking like a madman, that's why she could never take swimming up as a hobby even though she loved being in the water.

"Exactly, so you're outvoted Caroline." Stefan smiled smugly, making Caroline complain even more.

"Fine! But if I have a freak panic attack I'll never forgive either of you." Caroline said, half joking half serious.

"I would never let that happen to you." Elena told her friend. They linked arms and started following Stefan. "So, how far do we have to walk today?" Elena asked.

"Actually, we don't have to walk. The place we're going too isn't on the campsite so Damon hired a bus for the day since pretty much everyone is going." Stefan told them. Rock climbing wasn't exactly his hobby, but he did want to go.

"How far away is it?" Elena asked Stefan.

"About an hours drive." He told her. Elena was singing inside her head, she hadn't had chance to listen to music yet and this was the perfect time to do it. Thankfully she brought her phone and earphones everywhere with her. They reach the bus and the first thing they all notice is Lexi glaring at them all, Elena made a mental note to herself to speak to her when she had the chance. She didn't care about what people thought about her but she didn't think it was right that a total stranger hated her for no reason.

"Elena you have to sit with me, I don't want Klaus sitting next to me." Caroline begged. She looked over to Stefan who just shrugged.

"Okay, but I'm still listening to my music." Elena told her. Klaus called Stefan over to him.

"I'll see you when we get there?" Stefan asked, though it was more like a statement. Elena nodded and he ran over to Klaus. They where clearly talking about Caroline and Elena because they both look over towards them and smirked.

"Oh God, what have we started?" Caroline asked as they got onto the bus. Elena giggled, still feeling Klaus and Stefan's eyes on them.

"Do you think he's telling Stefan all about your wild passionate night?" Elena teased.

"I thought guys didn't do that." Caroline wondered out loud.

"God knows. I wonder what it's like to be inside of a guys head." Elena laughed. She had always wondered why men and women think so differently, I mean they're both human.

"They probably just think about sex all day." Caroline bitterly spoke. Elena felt sad for her friend, she hated what Tyler did to her.

"Guys are strange creatures." Elena joked. She couldn't help but think that Stefan was different, he seemed like an amazing person. No, he was an amazing person. Elena looked over to Stefan and saw him laughing about something with Klaus, she couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Stefan felt someone's eyes looking at him, he turned and saw Elena smiling at him. Once she realised she had been caught she blushed and look down. She was adorable, he thought.

"I'm still pissed at you because Rebekah left. But you're still my friend so I have to ask, what's going on between you and Elena?" Klaus asked. Klaus told Stefan he had decided to forgive him, although Stefan wasn't sure what he had even done wrong in the first place.

"Do you really want to know?" Stefan sighed. He knew that if Klaus knew then it could possibly lead to Rebekah knowing, and he didn't want to hurt he more than he already had.

"Come on mate, I won't tell Rebekah." Klaus promised.

"There's nothing going on yet. We're just friends. But I really like her." Stefan told him, feeling himself smile just at the mention of her.

"I can see how she looks at you Stefan, I don't know what you're waiting for. Just kiss her already." Klaus almost scolded, leaving Stefan shocked. Since when was he team Stefan and Elena.

"There hasn't been a right time." Stefan defended, although it was true. He was dating Rebekah at first, then Elena got attacked by Kai, then Caroline got cheated on. It feels like the world isn't on their side.

"There doesn't need to be a right time." Klaus rolled his eyes. He knew that Stefan and Elena couldn't wait for the universe to give them the perfect moment because well, there's never going to be a perfect moment. Klaus believed that life challenges you in all sorts of different ways, if you waited for the challenges to be over you'd never truly live. You've just got to seize the moment.

"Yeah, well, I'll put your idea in the maybe pile." Stefan joked.

"I bet in a couple of weeks time we'll be going on double dates." Klaus grinned, he had taken a liking to Caroline.

"You mean you and Caroline are more than sex?" Stefan asked, he was kind of worried, for both of his friends. He knew that Caroline wasn't ready for another relationship just yet, if they progressed to anything more it would only end in tears and heartbreak.

"No, but I want us to be. She's a real firecracker mate, she's got spark and energy. Her personality is so bubbly, but it's what makes her Caroline. And I intend to get to know her, in every way." Klaus smirked to himself, thinking about how he's going to memorise every inch of her skin.

"Just, be careful okay? I don't think Caroline is ready for anything more than a fling, I don't want either of you to get hurt." Stefan told him, Klaus had always been one of his favourite people at camp.

"I appreciate you looking out for me Stefan, but I'm a big boy. I can handle myself." Klaus assured. Thankfully, they had arrived at the rock climbing place, meaning that Stefan no longer had to have awkward conversations with his friend.

When Elena looked out the window she gasped, taking in the sight around her. "When Stefan said rock climbing I thought he meant we just had to climb up a wall. I didn't think he meant actual rocks!" She almost screamed. All she could see was rocks, endless rocks. Some were smaller than the others and she told herself she was going to stick with them ones. This made the whole experience scarier for Elena, she thought she would at least have a soft mat to fall on. All she has is the hard ground, she made a mental note to kill Stefan.

"Oh my god Elena I'm going to die! Do we even have any harness to support us?" Caroline gasped.

"Relax, they strap us into a harness. If you fall you'll just slowly float down to the ground." Stefan assured them, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

"That better be true Salvatore, or I'm coming for you." Caroline glared. Stefan awkwardly laughed, not knowing if she was serious or not.

"Will there be lunch here?" Elena asked. She hadn't ate before they left and she was seriously regretted it now.

"Yeah, there's a little cafe close by." Stefan told her. He found her love for food refreshing, he hated girls who wouldn't eat anything just to try get and unrealistic figure. Whenever he would eat with Rebekah she would have a salad and then spend the rest of the night sadly staring at him eating, after a while it became annoying and tedious.

"Thank God!" Elena exclaimed, she would have died if they wouldn't have been able to eat until they got back to camp.

The instructor came to tell them what they were doing and to go over all the safety regulations. He gave them all a harness to put on and Elena and Caroline teased Stefan, knowing how uncomfortable it must be for a man.

It was now Elena's turn to climb up one of the big rocks. She had prolonged it for as long as she could, even Caroline had already climbed it. Turns out Caroline has a new passion for rock climbing, who knew.

"Just relax Elena. If you concentrate too much you'll slip." Caroline told her. Elena rolled her eyes, since when was Caroline the rock climbing master. Once Elena was a long way from the ground she started to panic. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, she didn't want to appear weak in front of everyone. She managed to successfully calm herself down enough to keep going. Once Elena got to the top she felt free, she couldn't explain why she felt free but she did.

She began to climb back down until her foot got caught on one of the rocks. Even though she floated down like Stefan said, he was still there to catch her. Elena found herself feeling safe in Stefan's arm, like she knows he would never purposely hurt her.

"Well, that's a quick way of getting down." Elena joked, smiling widely. Elena couldn't help but love rock climbing, she wanted to feel that free again.

"Stefan, you didn't have to catch her. She would have floated." Caroline spoke, but she winked at Elena knowingly.

"You grazed your leg on the rock, does it hurt?" Stefan asked, completely ignoring Caroline.

"Nah, it's fine. I am hungry though." Elena almost whined. It had been 2 hours since they got there and they still hadn't eaten.

"We'll go get food now." Stefan assured her. He told the instructor that they were going to get food and he told them they had to be back soon. They took off their harnesses and started walking.

"How far is this place?" Caroline asked.

"Only about 5 minutes." Stefan replied.

"You seem to know a lot of things about this camp." Elena commented.

"Yeah, I've been coming for 5 years so I kind of know everything by heart now. And my brother is the camp leader, he would kill me if I didn't know." Stefan grinned.

"Okay I have to ask something! I've been trying to hold it in but I just can't anymore!" Caroline quickly shouted. Elena knew that whatever she had to say must be bad, since Caroline never held anything in.

"What do you wanna know?" Stefan asked, looking slightly confused.

"Why were you waiting to have sex with Rebekah until marriage?" Caroline asked. Even though Elena scolded her for asking that she couldn't help but mentally thank Caroline, she had wanted to know herself after all.

"That was more Rebekah's idea than mine." Stefan told her. He looked at Elena after he said that, which made her blush like crazy.

"Why did she want to wait though?" Caroline questioned further.

"I don't know, I think it had something to do with her family. They're very traditional and very hard to please. All of her brothers didn't wait until marriage so she figured that if she did wait she would make her parents proud of her." Stefan replied and Elena found herself feeling sorry for Rebekah. Her parents are like her best friends, she wouldn't know how to react if she could never make them proud.

"That's sad. No one should have to give up sex to please their parents." Caroline sighed. Caroline and her mum had a great relationship. Sure, they argued at times but that was just because their personalities clashed. Liz Forbes was very reserved whereas Caroline was well, Caroline.

"I know, what a nightmare." Stefan sarcastically spoke, acting like it was the worst thing in the world. Caroline rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.

They all approached a small looking cafe, it was small but homely. Elena smiled to herself, it was probably a family business and those type of places always had the best food. When they walked in they only saw a few people eating, clearly they didn't get a lot of customers.

"Do you know what you're having?" Stefan asked them both after they scanned over the menu.

"I'm just gonna get a salad." Caroline replied, making both Stefan and Elena glare at her.

"Gross. What about you Elena?" Stefan asked, her face was still intensely looking at the menu.

"I'm just gonna have a BLT." Elena shrugged. It was kind of healthy.

"I'll get the same." Stefan stood up and went to order for them.

"Don't you need the money?" Elena asked looking confused.

"My treat." He grinned and then turned to the counter.

"If you don't snatch him up I will." Caroline joked making Elena glare at her, but also laugh.

"Shut up. How come Klaus isn't with us?" Elena asked, smirking at her blonde friend.

"He was with Elijah so I didn't want to bother him." Caroline told her. In all honestly she was avoiding him, she regretted hooking up with him so soon. She wasn't ready for another relationship and she didn't want to lead him on in any way, she still needed time to get over Tyler.

Elena could sense that her friend was in deep thought, so she decided not to say anything else about it. Stefan came back and a little while later their food was here.

Elena bit into her sandwich and actually moaned, making both Caroline and Stefan snap their heads up and look at her. Caroline just laughed but Stefan was having a harder time. He was thinking about dead puppies, his grandma, a sad story he had heard, anything to get Elena's moan out of his mind.

"Sorry, it's just really good." Elena blushed, feeling embarrassed. She loved food but she had never actually moaned because of it before, she was going to have to thank whoever made this glorious sandwich.

Stefan bit into his sandwich and almost moaned himself, he had to admit that it was really good.

"Can you both stop having foodgasms in front of my salad." Caroline glared and both Elena and Stefan started laughing.

"Maybe you wouldn't be so mad if you didn't get a salad." Elena teased and Caroline muttered a few curse words under her breath. After they ate they headed back to the rock climbing place where they were told it was time to leave. Elena was glad that they had came here, it was a good experience.

When they got home they all went back to their cabins, feeling tired after a full day of rock climbing. Caroline fell asleep instantly whereas Elena was having more trouble. She couldn't stop thinking about Stefan's arms on her when he caught her. Her skin burned under his touch, she swore if she looked in the mirror she would be able to see a burn mark from where he touched her.

Stefan was lying on his bed, also unable to sleep. He couldn't stop thinking about how good it felt to have Elena in his arms. He swore they were a perfect storm, coming together to rock each other's world.

Stefan decided to take a walk, hoping to clear his mind. However as he was walking out of his cabin Elena was walking out of hers. They both felt a pull to each other, it was almost like their minds where screaming 'just kiss already!'. Stefan blamed Klaus for getting under his head.

However Stefan wasn't thinking about Klaus at that moment, he was thinking about how perfect Elena looked under the moonlight. So, just like a movie, they ran towards each other. Once they met each other in the middle Stefan brought his lips to hers.

Klaus was a fool for saying that there wasn't a right moment, because this here, was perfect.

A/N: So they finally kissed after 7 chapters! You're welcome. The next update will pick up straight from where we left off. If you couldn't tell, this is a pretty soft sorry. They will have their hard times, but I'm a sucker for soft Stelena.
