A/N: It's almost New Year, Angels, I know in the last chapter of 'She's not leaving' that I won't post anything until after the New Year but I can't help it, so welcome to my first Stelena romance oneshot. Enjoy.
Elena leans against her vampire boyfriend, Stefan Salvatore, and stares at the glow of the fire.
"Are you okay now, my angel?" She hears her boyfriend ask her, Elena sighs and shivers even though the fire is roaring and she's wearing one of his hoodies.
"I don't know." The girl answers quietly, almost too quiet for Stefan to hear her even with his supernatural hearing. Stefan sighs and kisses her forehead before he sits up straighter on the couch, as if to get up and let go of his Elena.
"Stay with me?" Elena asks him, her voice full of fear that he'll leave her and never return. Stefan sits back against the couch, Elena leaning even further against him, and sighs.
Stefan loves her, of course he does, she's the one who makes his non beating heart start beating with just a blink of her dark eyes. There's no way he'll leave her, not even if he was tortured in front of her, if she asks him to stay, he'll stay there forever with her, regardless of the consequences it'll have on him.
Stefan tightens his arms around her and pulls her onto his lap and stares into her eyes.
"Always, always and forever, Elena, I'll stay with you forever if you ask me to." He tells her softly. Elena smiles before kissing him deeply.
Their kiss is interrupted by someone clearing their throat. The vampire and his human forever pull away and look at the living room door where Stefan's older brother, Damon, is standing there with his arms crossed over his chest, a scowl on his face.
"It's 1:00 am, you've got school in a few hours, bed both of you, hop to it now." The older Salvatore orders the younger Salvatore and his girlfriend. Elena yawns and leans against Stefan, her eyes closing with each blink.
"Stefan, cawy me?" The girl asks half asleep. Stefan doesn't reply as he stands up from the couch, his forever in his arms, sleeping. He passed his brother without a word and blurs up to his room and lays his sleeping girlfriend on his bed, tucking his thick comforter over her body, a kiss to her lips before he gets in beside her.
Once Stefan is in bed, he cradles Elena in his arms, staring at her peaceful face.
"One day, I will ask you to marry me and then you'll know just how much I love you and that for as long as we live, I will not leave you, I'll stay with you, always." He says quietly before he falls asleep beside his love.
"Always." Elena mutters in her sleep, snuggling with Stefan.
