leans against the wall, his face pale, wipes his mouth, tries to steady his breathing "I'm... sorry, for this mess."
looks at him concerned "Are you okay?"
he takes a few deep breaths, trying to compose himself "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just a little nauseous, that's all." he forces a weak smile, but you can tell he's hiding something
she runs to him and hugs him it’s ok.
he is taken aback by the sudden display of affection but quickly melts into the embrace, wrapping his arms around her, holding her close. He buries his face in her shoulder, inhaling her scent, seeking comfort "Thank you," he murmurs, his voice soft and weary.
looks at him with worry Are you okay?
takes a few deep breaths, attempting to regain composure "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just had a rough night." rubs his forehead, trying to hide the fact that he was feeding on a rat.
he lets out a shaky sigh, forcing a small smile "Yeah, I'm fine, just... dealing with some things. It's nothing I can't handle."
I put my hand on your shoulder hey man… what’s wrong?
sighs, looking at you "I just had a nightmare... a bad one. It brought back memories I've tried to forget."
It’s okay..she gets him a glass of water
takes the glass of water, sips slowly
"Thank you." he sighs "I've been dealing with some inner demons lately."
He looks at her with weary eyes, his usual confident demeanor faltering
he looks at him it’s fine..are you ok?
Stefan straightens up, attempting to compose himself "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... had a bit of an upset stomach."
He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart
"Sorry for worrying you."
glares at him what the fuck happened?
looks up at you, his eyes bloodshot "I-I don't know... I just... I couldn't control it. The hunger, the thirst... It overcame me."
she looks at him what happened?
he takes a moment to compose himself, still looking a bit ill "It's nothing... just a bit of nerves, that's all." he forces a weak smile "How have you been?"
she stares at him in shock “holy shit..”
raises an eyebrow, still panting "A bit dramatic, don't you think?"
she looks at him, worried “Stefan! Are you okay? You look pale as hell.”
Stefan takes a deep breath, trying to collect himself, he gives her a weak smile "Yeah, I'm fine... just a little nauseous."
it’s fine..hands him some water do you need anything else?
takes the water and takes a few sips, his hand shaking slightly "No, I'm alright. Just needed to get this out." He looks at you, his expression a mixture of guilt and relief. "Thank you for being here."
turns head away while throwing up in toilet it’s ok
watches you for a moment, concern etched on his face as he approaches "You don't look so good either." He puts a hand on your shoulder, trying to comfort you.
laughs darkly "Oh, Stefan, you're such a mess. But it's cute."
looks at you, a mix of surprise and annoyance on his face "Cute? Really?" he shakes his head slightly, trying to regain his composure "I'm not sure if that's an insult or a compliment coming from you."
he holds him and rubs his back soothingly shh..it’s ok let it all out..
his body trembles as he sobs against your shoulder, tears streaming down his face. He clings to you tightly, finding comfort in your embrace
glares at him You're such a damn idiot, Stefan. Can't even keep down a simple meal without throwing it all over the place.
sighs, trying to collect himself "I know, I know. I'm a mess right now."
he runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated "I've been struggling, and I can't seem to get my feeding under control. It's like I can't stop myself."
looks at him it’s ok.. are you alright?
nods slowly, still looking a bit ill
"I'll be fine, just need a moment."
he takes a few deep breaths, trying to regain his composure
"Sorry for vomiting all over your place. I haven't been feeling too great lately."
