Smith. Summary: Elena doesn't clean the bath out. Stefan was looking forward to a nice long hot bath. Elena, Bonnie and Meredith were having a girls’ night out to celebrate Bonnies’ birthday, they had been shopping that morning and Elena had come out of the bathroom glittering like the stars in the sky making her even more attractive then she already was. The girls congregated around the room at first so that Stefan and Elena could give Bonnie a joint present- a scrying mirror that Stefan had commissioned especially for her 18th. Bonnie had loved it and asked if she could pick it up tomorrow, Stefan had tried not to roll his eyes knowing that now they had all come of age they would be off to the nearest club. In the hot steaming bathroom with the ancient tub Stefan was finally able to relax both mind and body as he peeled off his clothes and stepped into the steaming water. The girls would be out all night, he had fed well from a couple of the white tailed dear that were feeding near the old cemetery and it was his time to be alone and relax. Stefan relaxed so much that he fell asleep in the bath and only awoke with a jolt when a rather tipsy Elena came through the door of the bathroom declaring her love for him and telling him in a non stop sentence what a brilliant night she had with her two friends. Whilst he wasn’t happy with the thought of her getting drunk like this, he hid his disapproval from her as he had been the one to tell her that he wanted her to be as human as possible and nowadays girls getting drunk was all part of the growing up experience. He climbed from the bath and dried himself with a towel, whispering sweet nothings in her ear he swept his beloved off her feet and carried to her to the bed where he lay her down gently and went back to empty the water from the bath. By the time he came back she was already asleep so he lay down beside her and pulled her sleeping form close to his body before drifting off himself. The next morning he had already hunted when Elena awoke, she smiled sleepily at him and held out her arms to him in an invitation for him to join her. He smiled and quickly took his t-shirt off, he was already undoing his belt when he heard a gasp and a snicker from Elena, he snapped his head up to look at her and was confused by what he saw; Elena had her hand over her mouth and was trying not to laugh, he turned around to see what she was laughing at but couldn’t see anything. “What? What’s so funny?!” he demanded. “Oh Stefan! I’m really sorry. I don’t think I cleaned the bath out properly last night when I used that glitter massage bar.” Elena doubled over laughing, she couldn’t help herself, there were tears streaming from her eyes. Stefan raised both of his eyebrows and went into the bathroom where he angled the mirror down so he could see his torso. A smile crept onto his face and then he was laughing as well- his whole body was covered in glitter and he was twinkling like a fairy in the sunlight Fin.
