Protective Instinct

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries Pairing: Stefan Salvatore x Male!Reader Summary: Stefan still, and will always, have his protective instinct for you.  Word Count: 1212 Request: Could you do protective Stefan Salvatore with male reader. I’d love you forever  A/n: It was hard to figure out a plot, but here you go.

Stefan had forgotten what it was like to be in love with Katherine or Elena the moment you had started to date. He found you exciting and calming at the same time, he found your loving side and your angry side, which had fallen just the same.

You always had thought that saint Stefan was a calm boyfriend, you never had thought he was just a tad clingy and possibly get little jealous when you talk to Damon. Though, then again, you do remember that Damon had stolen many of Stefan’s love interests before.

But, your heart belonged to Stefan, you knew that you couldn’t be swayed by Damon’s charismatic personality. 

Though you would never pass up an opportunity to see a very jealous Stefan, his eyes are like daggers and his arm is instantly over your shoulders, whilst you would snuggle up to his side, feeling him relax over you.

But, big bad wolf Klaus Mikaelson was a different story. Since you were in on the supernatural secret, Stefan is a bad liar and Damon told you the moment you had met them, it wasn’t hard to run into their new enemy. After being forced into being away from your boyfriend for three months, Klaus wanted to meet the human that Stefan had madly fallen infatuated with.

You weren’t at the senior prank night that went bust, but you had found that Stefan was back with a little less him, though you had still fallen for him - you knew that your Stefan was under the hate and emotionless exterior. Damon was warning you to stay away from Stefan, but the vampire had the mind of his own.

Whilst Stefan was busy looking after Elena, he made sure he had you by his side. Meeting Rebekah and tolerating the new personality.

However, Klaus was charming, more so than Damon, he knew what the right thing to say to make you feel good. In the back of your mind, you knew that this vampire in front of you was a total psychopath - he was probably charming you with his manipulation and lies, but you ignored it and found a good side to the dark in him. 

Which puts you under his arm as you both walk out of the grill, he makes you giggle at a random joke, his cheekbone high and a fitting smile of amusement planted on his face.

Until you were stopped by your angry boyfriend, it seemed like his anger was pointed at Klaus rather than you. You didn’t know whether if Stefan got his humanity back or not, but you could see an emotion in his eyes.

“Hurt him and I will rip your arms off you,” Stefan seethes, his hands clenched in fists.

Klaus chuckles, tightening his arm over your shoulders, “I would never hurt this little human,” The original teased, “Would you really try and go against my compulsion for little (Y/n)?”

You felt uncomfortable around two very crazy vampires, one a hybrid and the other a raging ripper that could suck you dry. You breathed unevenly, shakily as Stefan’s eyes flickered to you.

“Just get away from him,” Stefan growled, his eyes harden, “You don’t want more casualties in your hands.”

Klaus was debating in his head before taking his arm off your shoulders, shrugging, “I presume you’re correct.”

Stefan straightens up and looks into your eyes, knowing that you couldn’t be compelled, but you would obey him nevertheless., “Get out,”

You nodded quickly dashing away, only to find Damon’s hands on you, his blue eyes examining you, you huffed out an annoyed sigh.

“I’m fine, Damon,” You mumbled, “Stefan has a list of witness protection, I’m on that list.”

“Please tell me he didn’t just try to square up the hybrid, did he?”

“Stefan continues to surprise us all the time.” You hummed softly, rocking back and forth on your feet.

“Stefan is trying hard to fight off the compulsion, protectiveness isn’t an emotion but it’s a desire, his desire to keep you safe is strong - he may not be able to show his love for you, but his protectiveness can translate that. We’re getting him back.”

“I hope so,” You mumbled, “Can we go home, Damon?”

“Yours or mine?”

“Yours.”

You didn’t want to think about Stefan, but the more you did the more you craved his tender touches and soft kisses. You missed his romantic comments and loving stares, you wanted his love - knowing his protective instinct was still intact for you warmed your heart. 

Flopping into your relocated room, you were ready to fall asleep right there and then, only to be disturbed by Damon and Stefan screaming at each other. You rolled your eyes as you roll over to your back, listening intently in the brother’s conversation.

“Damon, take your hand off my shoulder,” Stefan threatened as you could hear Damon tighten his grip.

“No can do, your boyfriend doesn’t need to see you now,” Damon commented back, you could imagine the boys staring down each other.

“I will rip your limbs out if you try to get between me and (Y/n),” Stefan continues to threaten, you could hear the hostility in his voice, “No one can protect him like I can, so I’m going to say this again. Damon, take your hand off my shoulder.”

The hallways became quiet, your eyebrows knitted together as you crawled under your cover, leaning your head back onto the pillow before Stefan rudely barges into your room.

You raise an eyebrow, sitting up as he stares you down from the doorway, you didn’t know if he was going to speak, but in his eyes, you see confliction.

“I’m safe, Stefan,” You delicately reassured him, giving him a tight smile, “thank you for protecting me.”

“Well, someone had to do it, and frankly, I don’t trust Damon enough with your safety.” Stefan commented rudely before turning around, “Well, goodnight, (Y/n).”

He was just about to leave, but he heard you open your mouth, he stopped. Curious to see what you will say.

“I love you, Stefan,” You hummed softly as if you were trying to find the right words, “I’m not going to give up on you, you know that? I’m going to fight for you like you’ve fought for me. I’m going to protect you like you’ve always done.”

Stefan hears you sigh, flopping on your bed and turning to your side, your back facing him. He looks over his shoulder to give you one last look and hearing your breathing even out. His mind goes blank before drawing the door close, only to face his brother.

“You want your reason to fight?” Damon was getting exhausted with endless possibilities of saving his brother, but you had always stuck out, “Fight for him, for (y/n), there will be no one who would love you like he does.”

Damon had left him alone in the hallway, the house was silent. Stefan reels back in memories of you, despite his lack of emotions - he knew there was only one right thing to do and he is willing to do it, over anything else.

He was going to fight for you, protect you, even if it means to die for you.
