deercountry | ( CLOSED ) MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME.

I can have some more.

[ as he'd taken her glass for a refill, she thinks it's only fair. what's the point of doing a good deed if the person who the good deed is for doesn't get to enjoy it?

she pouts as she peers up at him. ]

Don't you love me?

I do love you. And that's why I'm trying to keep this from you so you're not hungover.

( has anyone witnessed a hungover katherine in a long time? he doesn't know. )

What are you like when you're hungover?

Pretty.

[ and smart and beautiful and gorgeous and all the adjectives she can think of that put her in a positive light. katherine doesn't even know the answers herself, but she thinks she's fun hungover. the best person ever.

she smiles up at him. ]

I wear being hungover very well.

When was the last time you were hungover?

( because he wonders if she remembers. she's so old and as a vampire, you don't get drunk. you just don't. )

You were turned young. There's no way you've been hungover lately.

Are you saying I'm not young?

[ she cocks her brow and glares up at him. yes, it's going on a tangent. katherine remembers being drunk as a young girl, but she can't remember if she ever had a hungover. five hundred years ago sometimes doesn't feel like a long time... and sometimes it does. ]

You're not young.

( she looks young but she's definitely old now. he smiles and reaches up to cradle her face between his hands. )

That doesn't mean anything but the fact that you've lived a long, long time and you've been through a lot. Don't take it like I'm insulting you.

[ stefan breathes and she finds him charming. she smiles up at him and, if she was truly sober, would hate how her eyes prick and she feels emotional over the fact that he's being so sweet.

but she's drunk, so she doesn't feel any annoyance at herself. instead, she leans into his hand. ]

You know exactly what to say, but I still want my wine. I need to taste test it.

[ perfect reason why he should give it to her. ]

You've been tasting it, Katherine!

( that is a terrible excuse and he laughs because it's so bad. )

I think you need to find a better way to persuade me.

[ although it would be way too easy to shoot up from where she sits and swipe the glass from his hands, she doesn't take advantage of her age or her speed and strength. doesn't really want to. it's boring and it's cheating katherine pierce is not a cheat.

so, she does the one thing she can think to do: katherine pouts. ]

Are you pouting now?

( wow katherine wow. he can't help but laugh. )

First the glaring and now the pouting.

[ and he's laughing. though her glare had been entirely put upon, now she's doing it for real. it hurts her feelings that he's laughing. she hasn't said anything funny! ]

Is there a problem with my pouting?

[ although she's drunk, she will still snap his hand in half for being rude. ]

No. I'm just impressed by the arsenal you're bringing out tonight.

( the glaring and the pouting. she's pulling out all the stops to try and get more wine. he stops laughing though and shakes his head. )

There's no problem with your pouting. Your pouting is adorable.

Is it?

[ she asks that with a glare. katherine watches him for a moment, suspicious despite her intoxication of him and his motives. stefan can't be trusted. no, someone who looks like him and is him can always be sneaky.

she likes to think she encourages it. ]

How adorable? More wine adorable?

No, not more wine adorable.

( stefan leans closer and kisses her, tasting the wine on her lips before he pulls back and smiles. )

I'll go get you some water, though.

( or some food. she probably should eat. )

[ her brows lift and her eyes open wide. that's not the way this is meant to go! and hadn't he just wandered to the kitchen beforehand? he's getting all mixed up. so silly, sober stefan. ]

But didn't you just get me wine…?

[ she sits up straight on the couch. ]

It'd be silly to waste it.

You need to sober up, Katherine. Let me at least get you food.

( he really thinks that she needs to eat if she's going to be chugging wine. )

I don't want you getting sick and food will make the hangover less terrible.

[ so unfun. katherine pouts, not liking that suggestion at all. it involves less wine, which is making her feel really great.

she smiles up at him sweetly. ]

Then open up a vein.

No.

( no, she doesn't get to drink from him for her food. he shakes his head. )

No, you can have that for dessert. I'm getting up and getting food that isn't' blood.

Ooo.

[ katherine sits back against the couch cushion and crosses her arms against her chest.s smiling up at him, she watches him with interest. now that's more fun! ]

Can we skip to dessert?

No.

( you're the worst, katherine! no, they were not skipping to dessert. )

Let me get up and make us something quick for dinner and then I'll let you drink from me? Okay?

( come on, it's a good compromise. )

[ with a pout, she sighs and falls back into the couch. that's so not fun. this is why she's the fun one in the relationship. she's spontaneous and rulebreaking and she would give herself the wine back if it was in her hands. ]

Fine.

[ she peers up at him, not impressed. ]

But I'm drinking wine while you make something.

Fine.

( stefan moves to get up and reluctantly passes her the bottle. he half expects her to drink it all and be passed out by the time he comes back. )

Try to not drink the entire thing?

[ katherine holds out her glass for him to pour the wine in, but considering mr unfun wants to be a little fun and let her dictate how much wine she gets... she happily fills it up until the liquid is kissing the brim.

peering up at him innocently with the glass to her lips, she smiles. ]

Me? I moderate all the time, Stef.

[ she's going to guzzle it the fuck down the moment he turns his back. ]

( stefan shakes his head because of course. he heads into the kitchen and, as he's standing there, he notices a few more of the dark shadows pull into him until he suddenly can't see his hand.

it's right there in front of him but it's not. he flexes it and then presses his palm against the counter. )

What the hell?

( he laughs though because if katherine can get drunk, maybe this is something stefan can do. he almost walks out to tell katherine before he realizes that this could be fun to tease her with.

so, he stays where he is and he waits and waits to see how long it takes her to come find him. )

[ sipping the wine as slowly as possible, she almost forgets that stefan's meant to be coming back. but once she gets to the end of her glass, she furrows her brows and looks to where he had wandered off to. ]

Did you get lost in our kitchen, Stefan?

[ seems very typical for him. maybe he's out being a hero and protecting the wine from her. ]
