deercountry | ( CLOSED ) MY LONELINESS IS KILLING 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. ]

( stefan doesn't answer. no, she's going to get irritated that he hasn't come back eventually and she'll come in there and he'll see just how much of a tolerance she has for shenanigans.

so, he doesn't say anything while making sure that he's still invisible. he doesn't know how this is happening but it's happening. )

[ narrowing her eyes, she listens as sharply as she can to ensure that he's still in the kitchen. it takes some effort since she's a little intoxicated, but she manages to locate that pesky heartbeat of his. he's not dead or kidnapped, even though he's going to be the former in a few minutes.

pushing herself off the couch, she's slow to walk from the living room to the kitchen. ]

You're not being cute, Stefan.

( stefan leaves everything as it is and steps off to the side. she can hear his heartbeat, he knows, but she can't see him. and that'll give him enough of an advantage.

so, he waits for her to step into the kitchen. )

[ she mutters, ] Seriously, not cute at all.

[ even if he is the cutest salvatore she's ever seen. he's lost the right to accept that title now that she's had to haul ass up and step into the kitchen herself.

narrowing her eyes, she stands at the doorframe. the thump of his heart is loud enough, but silly stefan is hiding. ]

( stefan laughs silently and moves in front of her so he can get close enough and he flicks her chin with a finger that she won't be able to see before he slips past her and behind her.

he waits for a few second to see if she'll turn but he can't stop himself from reaching for her hair and tugging on her on it like he's some kid on a playground. )

[ the flick to the chin catches her off guard, but katherine's quick to realise that heartbeat isn't coming from in front of her. it's behind her—and his hand's tugging on her hair in a childish fashion. ]

Good to see you haven't outgrown annoying schoolyard tactics.

[ she reaches around herself to slap at him blindly. ]

( stefan manages to dodge out of the way of the slap and moves a few steps back. he wonders if she can see him at all. there's nothing to be done about the heartbeat but he has an advantage on her in that it's going to take her some time to find that while she can't see him.

he wiggles his fingers in front of her face and then moves off to the side to see what she does then. )

[ while invisibility isn't something anyone's really discovered over the last few centuries, katherine's not stupid. she remembers being hunted in a similar fashion decades ago. all she has to do is listen—something a lot of the young ones can't do these days.

with her eyes narrowed, she looks to the left and then the right. she knows stefan's still in this room. not quite hiding inside the pantry… he's hiding somewhere near her. ]
