Your ability to suddenly forget how to do simple things when you want me to do them is amazing.

( he laughs and then reaches for the keys to turn the lock and open the door. how amazing was he? )

Do I get a reward for opening the door for you?

[manipulative]

Yes.

[ she ensures her arm is wrapped tightly around him as she begins to walk and expects him to walk with her. ]

I will lead you to bed and fluff your pillow. How does that sound?

[prescind]

Will you stay in there with me for awhile?

( not that he thought she'd leave but he wants to make sure. )

I don't think I'm going to sleep but I'd like you to be there.

[manipulative]

[ katherine smiles. it's nice to be needed. it's more than nice to be wanted. ]

I will gladly miss out on a shoe sale I was very much looking forward to just to be with you.

[ she scrunches up her nose and pauses momentarily as she furrows her brows. second guessing what she's said, she narrows her eyes at him. ]

Don't repeat that.

[prescind]

Who would I repeat that to anyway?

( stefan laughs because seriously. it's not like he has that many friends. )

I'll tell Aleksander and he will be so shocked.

[manipulative]

[ she rolls her eyes and feigns a look of annoyance. ]

Keep that up and I'm dumping you on the couch with the weak pillow, Stefan.

[ he'll suffer with the pillow she's deemed shitty for a week while she enjoys his fluffy and thick pillows. ]

[prescind]

Wow.

( but he does quiet down, merely tsking her and trying to hold back a laugh. )

Never knew you could be so cold and cruel.

( except he had. )

[manipulative]

Well...

[ she shrugs as they approach the base of the stairs. katherine doesn't rush him up them. that's a calculated kindness on her behalf, she thinks. ]

I like to surprise you from time to time. It keeps things fresh, you know?

[prescind]

Oh yeah, fresh and titillating.

( stefan reaches for the railing and starts pulling himself up, one foot at a time. he's slow but he wants to do it himself more than anything. )

Wouldn't want either of us to get bored and just not wanna be here anymore.

[manipulative]

So is that why you go around wearing your tightest jeans?

[ katherine stays beside him, taking one step at a time a step after him. she leans back and eyes his ass, which is in a nice pair of jeans if she says so herself. ]

The moment you wear shapeless pants, I'm gone.

[prescind]

Of course you are. I absolutely believe that.

( no, he doesn't. he doesn't believe that at all. )

I'll be sure to invest in some sweatpants to see if that's true.

[manipulative]

Tight sweatpants, Stefan.

[ please, listen to the lady and heed her. ]

Your ass, whether vampire or human, will always look good in the right pants. You just need some guidance on how to pick them.

[ guess who can provide such guidance. ]

[prescind]

Tight sweatpants defeat the point of pants!

( he's buying his regular sweatpants. )

They're supposed to be comfortable.

[manipulative]

And tight sweatpants aren't?

[ wtf stefan, that sounds so wrong. katherine does her best not to laugh at him. ]

Clearly, you're wearing the wrong type of pants, Stef. You're so lucky I'm here for you.

[prescind]

I am not wearing tight sweatpants.

( he would wear loose sweatpants that were comfortable but he's not going tight. )

Pass.

[manipulative]

So…

[ she keeps her lips pursed as she elongates the one word. ]

Does that mean no pants at all?

[prescind]

No, that means the baggiest sweatpants I can find.

( brought that on yourself, katherine. )

They'll be baggy, shapeless, and black.

[manipulative]

[ wrapping her hands around her mouth, she yells, ] Boo!

[ waving her hand, she sighs heavily. ] Go get them. I want to see these ugly sweatpants for myself.

[prescind]

Wow, you want a fashion show of ugly sweatpants?

( you're growing as a person, katherine. he snickers and turns around, heading to get the pants as requested. )

I'll do just that.
