Magical Steroline

Chapter 9 – School Surprises

"Soo..." Bonnie leaned against the locker as she raised her eyebrow at Caroline, "What's up with you and Stefan?"

Caroline kept her face in her locker so that Bonnie wouldn't catch the panic in her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean, Caroline Forbes!" Bonnie took Caroline's arm and tugged on it so that she could no longer hide in her locker. She glared into her friend's nervous blue eyes and asked again, "There is something going on between you and Stefan."

Caroline met Bonnie's eyes, trying to calm the racing of her heart as she thought of what to say. She swallowed the lump in her throat as she shook her head, "He's my best friend. I'm just helping him through a tough time." She cleared her throat as images of just how she had been helping Stefan hit her.

"Really?" Bonnie crossed her arms over her chest, narrowing her eyes at Caroline, "Stefan is heartbroken, right?"

Caroline swallowed before nodding, "Completely heartbroken."

"He still loves Elena?" Bonnie asked.

"Y-yeah." Caroline cleared her throat as she hesitated in agreeing, not that she was completely sure of that answer herself.

Bonnie let a little smirk curve her lips as she asked, "So it must have really been painful for him the other night seeing Damon and Elena together?"

"Yes. He was very hurt." Caroline replied, avoiding Bonnie's gaze so that she wouldn't read the lie in her eyes. Stefan had been anything but hurt and heartbroken after seeing Damon and Elena together, if the way he took her on top of the falls was any indication then his brother and his ex-girlfriend were the farthest thing from his mind. She had to clench her thighs together as she remembered that night; it was hot, passionate, unforgettable.

Bonnie waited a moment for Caroline to relax. She waited until she turned around to head to class before saying, "So if Stefan was so hurt and heartbroken then why was his eyes only for you? Why did he barely spare Damon and Elena a glance except for an annoyed glare at his brother?" She saw the way that Caroline tensed at her questions, and she knew that she was right or else she wouldn't have reacted to them, "The brother that stole his girlfriend, by the way. I was expecting much more than a glare of annoyance, I was expecting more a glare of anger and betrayal."

Caroline was frozen, her mind spinning as she tried to think of an answer to Bonnie's questions but she was blank. There was just no explanation, not an acceptable one anyway. Stefan should be heartbroken and full of betrayal – he wasn't. He shouldn't be able to look at either Damon or Elena without feeling pain – only he could. He shouldn't be able to laugh or smile or touch her body with fiery passion every single night – but he had absolutely no problem doing just that.

Bonnie took a step closer to Caroline's frozen form, continuing on despite her silence, "Why did he almost kiss you at the table?" She repressed a smirk at the surprised gasp that came out of Caroline, finally causing her to spin around to look at her, "Why couldn't he keep his hands off you? And..." Her gaze softened as she revealed quietly, "Why did the moment you went outside he pulled you into a hug and kissed you?"

"You saw." Caroline whispered, staring back at Bonnie in complete and utter shock, her breaths coming faster as her stomach clenched in fear. Bonnie knew the whole time, she was just testing to see whether Caroline would tell her herself.

Bonnie nodded, "I was worried about you after what Elena said, so I followed you both out and I saw you and Stefan hugging and then kissing." She still didn't know how she felt about what she'd seen, but one thing stood out to her, when Stefan and Caroline were alone together they looked happy. Happier than she'd seen either of them for a long time, "I was shocked, and I didn't want to disturb you so I went back inside before you could see me."

Caroline wrapped her arms around herself defensively, afraid to ask the question but needing to, "Are you going to tell anyone?"

"No, why would I share your business?" Bonnie placed her hand on Caroline's arm, sighing as she relaxed under her touch, "I want to know why you didn't tell me that you and Stefan are together? I'm your best friend."

Caroline shook her head, "We are not together."

Bonnie took her hand back immediately as she stared back with exasperation and a touch of hurt, "I saw you two kissing with my own eyes, Caroline! There is literally no point in denying it."

"We really aren't together, Bonnie." Caroline fidgeted for a moment before blurting out, "He's my friend… with benefits."

"Ohh!" Bonnie's eyes widened as she understood, then her brows furrowed in a scowl as she all but hissed, "Why? Does he not want to be with you? Because let me tell you he would be lucky to be loved by someone like you."

Caroline couldn't help but smile as Bonnie jumped into protective mode. She really did love Bonnie with all her heart; her best friend. She stepped forward and pulled her into a tight embrace, "I love you, Bonnie Bennett."

Bonnie returned her hug easily, holding her as equally as tight, "And I love you, Caroline Forbes."

Caroline pulled back, still having her arms wrapped around Bonnie as she explained to her, "Stefan wanted to give us a go, I was the one that didn't want to give it a try as I was afraid of ruining our friendship and I'm not quite ready to jump into anything so soon after Tyler." She giggled as she recalled how Stefan convinced her, "Stefan made me see things another way."

Bonnie hummed non-committally, not wanting to tell Caroline just how stupid that was. It was fairly obvious that Stefan had feelings for her, and that she had feelings for him right back. She would let her best friend live in her feelings-free bubble for a little longer, but she knew that at some point it would burst and real life would happen. Eventually, Caroline would have to open her heart and accept her feelings for Stefan.

"I know it's asking a lot, but could you keep it to yourself for now?" Caroline asked, she turned her gaze pleading as she added on, "Give us time to sort out whatever feelings we may have, and to see whether we are prepared to risk our friendship before giving whatever we could have a go."

Bonnie was pretty positive that Stefan's answer to that would be a very clear yes, but she knew that after Tyler hurt her Caroline needed to be absolutely sure before risking one of the best friendships in her life. She took her hand and smiled reassuringly at her, "I will keep your torrid affair with Stefan a secret."

"Bonnie!" Caroline slapped her arm but she was laughing as she said it. Bonnie really was one of the best friends she could have ever asked for.

Bonnie looped her arm through Caroline's, walking with her towards the next class. In her head she couldn't stop thinking about what she'd seen. Stefan and Caroline, together and happy, looking like the perfect couple, and somehow it didn't look wrong. If anything they looked like they were made for each other.

Who would have ever thought?


Caroline was laying on her front on her bed, pen tapping against her mouth as she kicked her legs back and forth as she did her homework. Stefan was laid out right beside her, propping his head on his hand as he circled his other hand on her back, content to just watch her until she was finished as he knew that she wouldn't talk with him until she had finished all her homework.

Stefan smiled as he saw her brow crease in concentration; she looked so adorably cute. He loved watching her in these unguarded moments, her hair loose and free surrounding her like a curtain, the strap of her top falling down her arm, her skirt slipping dangerously low on her thighs so that if he was at the head of her bed he would be able to sneak a peak at the treasure between her legs. She was completely relaxed in his presence, trusting him not to disturb her, and letting him see her in all her control freak glory. It made him feel amazing. For the first time in his life he could be with someone that he could completely let his walls down around and just be himself, just as she did around him. He had the suspicion that Caroline Forbes could very well be the one for him.

He grinned wider at the thought, letting his fingers slip beneath where her top and skirt met so that he could tease his fingers against her skin. He sighed at the feel of her softest skin against his fingertips. Unable to resist her any longer he scooted closer so that he rest his chin on her shoulder, wrapping his arm completely around her so that he rubbed his palm along her abdomen.

"Stefan!" Caroline half moaned half warned. She was almost finished, but she couldn't deny that it felt good when Stefan ran his hands over her. She tilted her head to the side to meet his mischievous eyes, "I'm working."

"You are almost done." Stefan sighed into her skin, spreading kisses against her shoulder as he started to pull her top up her chest.

"Yeah, almost being the key word there." Caroline protested, but it sounded weak to her own ears, especially as she tilted her head to give Stefan more access. Her eyes fluttered as he hummed against her, "Almost is not done."

"Your almost is everyone else's ahead." Stefan responded, before he switched their positions so that he was now underneath Caroline and was staring into her amused yet lustful eyes, "Much better."

Caroline shook her head in affectionate exasperation. She smiled down at him, letting her legs settle over his hips as she asked rhetorically, "What am I going to do with you?"

Love me, Stefan swallowed as the thought popped into his head. He was really trying not to push her, despite how much they acted like a couple behind closed doors, but with every new day making love and sharing their everyday life together, he was growing more and more impatient to forget this friends with benefits deal and just be the couple he knew they pretty much were. He didn't share that with her though, as he was too afraid to push her too fast and lose her for good. So he just pulled her down to his lips and devoured her as he gave her what she was able to accept from him.

Caroline closed her eyes and moaned as she kissed him back. She rocked her hips against his as she began to pull his shirt off of him, releasing his mouth only to discard his shirt off the bed and to let him take hers off before fusing their lips back together. She explored his chest, running her fingertips over every line of his muscles before reaching for the button of his jeans. She grinned against his mouth as she undid him, raising herself up onto her knees so that she could pull them down over his thighs before sitting back against him, groaning as his cock brushed against her covered core.

Stefan moaned against her mouth, his hands sliding from her thighs to underneath her skirt, skimming her ass cheeks before taking hold of her panties and with a flick of his wrist he tore them from her body. He pulled his hand out from her skirt, leaning back to smirk up at her as he held out her ruined panties for her to see.

Caroline raised her eyebrow at him, "You tore another pair of my panties."

"I'll buy you more." Stefan replied as he threw her ruined underwear across the room, then he placed his hands around her waist, feeling for the zipper on the side before he pulled it down. He pulled the skirt over her head to drop it beside the bed, running his hands over her chest to cup her breasts in his hand. He smirked at her as his voice turned low and seductive, "Not that you'll be needing them."

Caroline laughed only for it to turn into a gasp as Stefan took that moment to slip inside of her. Her eyes slid closed in pleasure as he filled her, a moan falling from her lips at how good it felt every time she and Stefan had sex.

Stefan bucked his hips up into hers, smiling in satisfaction as she threw her head back in a moan. She was so beautiful like this, lost in the pleasure that he was giving her, moving against him, with him, until they both reached their end calling out each other's names. He would make love to her for the rest of time if only to see the beautiful sight of Caroline in the throes of passion.

Caroline rocked her hips into him, placing her hands on his chest for leverage as she fell against him, her eyes catching his as she rode him. The look in his eyes made her breath catch, they were glowing back at her with desire – and something she dared not put a name to - his sole focus on her. It made the desire running through her veins even more intense.

Stefan cupped her jaw, brushing his thumb against her cheek as he stared into those beautiful blue eyes of hers, his breath stolen from him at the look in them; lustful and happy. Caroline's feelings that were usually hidden came alive when they made love, which is what made it easier for him to wait for her, because he knew that she had feelings for him, he could see it so easily when they were together, and no matter how long it took he knew it would be well worth the wait once she truly became his. He loved her enough to wait for her.

Caroline felt her pussy start to throb, Stefan's dick rubbing continuously against her spot making her eyes roll back in her head. She rocked faster over him, moaning in pleasure, taking his lips in hers as she kissed him passionately. His hands held onto her hips to help her glide over him, she shuddered around him, crying out against his mouth as she fell over the edge.

Stefan thrust his hips up into her trembling walls, digging his fingers into her hips as he toppled over his peak, a cry of her name escaping him as he came inside of her. He jerked his hips against her, shuddering at the way her channel massaged his length, milking him completely until she collapsed against his chest as they both breathed heavily.

Caroline was breathless, her body boneless in her bliss, Stefan's arms circling around her to hold her close made her heart skip. She wasn't sure whether friends with benefits should snuggle after sex, but she didn't care as she loved feeling so close to him, feeling happy and completely satiated.

Stefan closed his eyes as he basked in their afterglow, stroking his fingers along her back as he enjoyed her snuggled against his chest. He loved holding her, the feel of her skin on his, her silky strands tickling his skin, the scent of her filling his senses, it was bliss for him.

Caroline kept her head against his chest, smiling as she heard and felt the quick thump of his heart beneath her ear. She ran her nails along his chest in random patterns, biting her lip as thoughts ran through her mind, the honesty she always shared with Stefan made her confess, "Bonnie knows about us."

Stefan's fingers stilled for a moment, unsure for a moment on how to answer, he didn't mind that Bonnie knew, the more the merrier as far as he was concerned so that he and Caroline could just be together, "How?"

Caroline released a sigh of relief that Stefan didn't sound anything but curious. Relaxing back against him she answered, "She noticed that we were closer and were touching. Plus, she saw us kissing."

"Hmm." Stefan hummed in reply, stroking his palm over her back in a soothing manner. He wanted to be as honest as Caroline had been so he revealed, "Damon knows."

Caroline lifted her head off his chest to look at him with wide eyes, "What? When? How?"

Stefan raised his other hand to run through her hair as he chuckled, "He's my brother. He knows me, and he could tell that something had changed between us." He decided to leave out the whole 'in-love-with-you' part, as she wasn't ready to hear it yet, "As for when, he figured it out the night we were all at the grill."

"Okay." Caroline nodded, replacing her head against Stefan's chest as she came to term with the fact that Damon of all people knew about her and Stefan.

"Okay?" Stefan wanted to be sure that Caroline was okay with Damon knowing about them.

"Yeah." Caroline replied on a breath, tilting her chin up so that she could look at him, smiling slightly, "I'm okay. He knows, can't do much about that now."

Stefan searched her eyes for a moment, needing to make sure that she was truly okay with his brother knowing, after a moment he smiled back, satisfied that she meant what she said.

"Can I finish my homework now?" Caroline asked.

Stefan laughed, rolling her over so that he could attack her neck with kisses just so he could hear her beautiful sweet laughter.


Caroline was walking down the hallway on her way to her next class when the janitors closet opened beside her and she was suddenly pulled into the dark room. She was about to hit her attacker when she heard two words whispered directly into her ear.

"It's me."

She relaxed at the sound of Stefan's voice. She turned in his arms, blinking a few times before her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could just make out the smirk on his face, "Why have you pulled me into a closet, Stefan?"

Stefan slid one arm around her back to pull her in close to him, the other he threaded though her hair, playfully nipping her lips as he answered, "Taking my cue from 80s movies."

"Huh?" Caroline creased her brow in confusion.

"The guy always pulls the girl into an empty closet or classroom for a hot make out session." Stefan explained, kissing her lips in small sweet pecks, a grin pulling at his lips as he felt her own answering grin.

Caroline wrapped her arms around Stefan's neck, grinning into his lips as she responded, "Is that right?" She pressed her lips to his for a longer moment before asking teasingly, "You sure about that?"

"Positive." Stefan whispered before he took her lips in a heated kiss, pressing her against the door as he practically devoured her lips, losing himself in her moans that drove him wild.

Caroline jumped up, wrapped her legs around his waist and gripping his hair in her hands as she kissed him back passionately. Her pulse was beating loudly in her ears, desire spreading fire through her veins, her pussy throbbing as she rubbed herself against Stefan.

Stefan rocked his hips against hers, kissing her soundly as he pinned her body against the door. He twisted his fingers in her hair, pulling her even closer to his hungry lips, practically eating her he was so needy for her. He finally dragged himself away from her mouth, panting into her neck as he tried to push back his desire for her, nuzzling his nose along her throat as he hummed, "See you at cheerleading."

He let her legs fall from his waist, brushing their lips together briefly as he subtly moved her away from the door. He released her with a wink as he opened the door, walking away from a frustrated Caroline with an extra swagger to his step.

Caroline stared after him with wide eyes. He had made her burn in desire for him and then just left her unfulfilled. Though she couldn't deny that it didn't give her a little thrill that he was bold enough to make out with her at school where anyone could walk in on them.

She chuckled to herself at the playful side that Stefan let out only around her. He was so easy to fall for like that, and she loved to see him so happy.


Stefan leaned back on his elbows in the stands as he kept his eyes on Caroline on the field. She was so sexy in her tiny black shorts, all of her gloriously long legs on show, and he felt heat coil in his gut just looking at her. Even in her pink vest that hugged her breasts snugly and her pigtails she was breathtaking; Caroline Forbes knew how to pull off being adorably gorgeous.

He was a very lucky man.

He smiled as Caroline waved up at him, and when no one was looking – meaning Rebekah – she blew him a kiss and gave him a flirty wink. He waved back at her, pursing his lips in a kiss right back, loving the smile he received in return. He felt his heart skip at the sweet gesture, hoping soon that they wouldn't have to hide their flirty behaviour at all.

He had to keep reminding himself that he was a patient guy.


Caroline was nearly finished with practice, for once her and Rebekah hadn't been sniping spitefully at each other. She actually felt relaxed and not murderous. She looked up to the stands catching Stefan watching her, the smirk on his lips made her heart race. She could guess what would be happening between them soon, not that she was complaining about that, she wasn't, she loved being with Stefan intimately. Honestly he blew her mind every time they had sex.

She dismissed everybody, turning to head towards the locker to shower when she jumped back startled at the person she last suspected would be here, "Klaus! What do you want?"

Klaus tilted his head in a smirk, his gaze roving over her before coming back to her eyes, "I am here to collect on that date you owe me."

"Now?" Caroline had almost forgotten about that and she hoped that Klaus had too. Unfortunately, she had no such luck.

"No, love." Klaus chuckled, he reached for her hand, clutching it as she attempted to pull it back, "I was thinking we could attend the Miss Mystic Falls event together."

"Are you kidding me?!" Caroline almost shrieked, finally pulling her hand away from Klaus' to cross over her chest, "I am the reigning Miss Mystic Falls and I have to hand over my crown and do you think I want to do that with you beside me?"

"Then who is your date?" Klaus asked with narrowed eyes.

Caroline looked off to the side as she all but mumbled, "No one."

"What was that?" Klaus' voice was smug with his upcoming victory, "I couldn't quite hear that in my old age."

"No. One." Caroline said through gritted teeth, glaring at Klaus as she added, "Yet, at least."

"Now you don't have to bother asking some fool to accompany you." Klaus smirked at her, "Should I pick you up or meet you there?"

Caroline glared at him, "Meet me there." As he went to leave she added, "No dresses. No corsages. And absolutely no jewellery."

"See you then, Caroline." Klaus took her hand and placed a kiss on it before leaving.

Caroline just glared at his retreating back before her eye line was taking up by the angry and concerned eyes of Stefan. She swallowed hard at the sight of him, her heart racing in anticipation of his reaction to what she would have to tell him. She had a date with Klaus.

Stefan took hold of her arms, his eyes full of worry as he asked, "What did Klaus want?"

Caroline opened her mouth, hesitating for a moment before replying, "Remember when Klaus offered up his hybrid for Jeremy to kill so that he would become a hunter and Elena would stop being haunted by the hunter's curse?"

Stefan frowned in confusion, wondering what that had to do with why Klaus had come to see Caroline, "Yeah..."

Caroline fidgeted in place, looking away from Stefan as she said, "Ever wonder why he agreed to that?"

"I guess." Stefan suddenly had a sinking feeling in his stomach, a feeling of dread coming over him at what Caroline was about to tell him.

"He would only do it if I..." Caroline chewed on her lip anxiously, taking a breath before just telling him, "If I would agree to go on a date with him." She gathered her courage and looked in Stefan's eyes, her heart contracting painfully in her chest at the blank stare that met her, "He is going to Miss Mystic Falls with me as my date."

Stefan's heart pounded in his chest, jealousy hitting him immediately leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. The woman he loved would be going on a date with the man he hated. He clenched his hands into fists, fighting down the urge to go after Klaus and kill him for daring to impose himself on Caroline like that. Not that he could kill him, not without killing everyone he loved in the process as they were all sired to his bloodline.

Caroline was worried as Stefan still had not said anything, but she could see how tense he was and she could feel the anger radiating off him in waves. Her voice shook as she said his name in question, "St-Stefan?"

Stefan couldn't stop himself from growling, "He wants to be your date?"

Caroline winced as she nodded.

Stefan didn't think about who was watching he just pulled her into his arms tightly, burying his face in her hair as his voice become apologetic, "I'm so sorry that I ever put you in the position to have to make that kind of deal."

Caroline relaxed against him, wrapping her arms around him as she breathed in his scent, sighing as she agreed with him, "I'm sorry too."

She was not looking forward to her date with Klaus, and she was worried how Stefan was going to be having to witness it.

Why was life so complicated sometimes?

TBC

AN – I hope you all liked it! Caroline has a date with Klaus, and Stefan is not going to be very jealous watching the two of them.
