Imagine going to a new school, making new friends, and becoming good friends with possibly the cutest boy you've ever laid eyes on all because your niece gets attached to him. It's just your luck the cute boy also happens to be a vampire.

Stefan X Reader

Ever since you were little, starting a new school year always made you nervous. Even in high school it's never changed, but it's worse now because not only are you starting a new school but you're starting a new school in the middle of the school year. Everyone has their schedules and the path to take for each class memorized, as well as their locker combinations. You're the only one who's continuously looking at a schedule and map, and looking like a lost puppy as you try to find your way.

Thankfully the day seems to be flying by and before you know it, it's your lunch hour. So grabbing a tray, you follow some other students who take their food outside and quickly settle down at an empty picnic table. And before you dig in, you prop your phone up on it's side with the handy little kick-stand built into the phone case and face time your niece as promised.

When the call is answered, you can't help but laugh when you see that your niece has her own makeshift tray of food in front of her. "Wook, Y/N! I eat lunch too."

"I can see that," you muse, opening your drink and taking a sip. "Have you been good for grandpa today?"

"Yep. Papo sweep all day and daddy bought me nuggets!"

"Lucky. All I got to eat is this yucky burger." You hold the burger in question and grin as your niece giggles uncontrollably for longer than necessary.

She takes a minute to actually eat her food and you do the same, you watching her through the tiny screen of your phone as she then remembers that she wanted to show you something. As she scrambles off her seat, she takes the phone with her and you're stuck watching as the tiny four year old shows you page after page of her new coloring book that she's scribbled on.

"Excuse me." Someone taps on your shoulder. "But do you mind if I sit at the other end of this table?"

Glancing up and over your shoulder, you see one of the most prettiest boys you've seen so far at Mystic Falls High. Short, dark brown hair is perfectly tousled, the guy's jawline is to die for, and his pretty green eyes sparkle with mirth the longer you stare. Your niece shrieks your name, you startle and glance at your phone to shush her, and then turn back to the guy who's still waiting for an answer. "Shit. Sorry. The table end is all yours."

He chuckles. "Thanks. I'm Stefan, by the way.

"Y/N," you mumble, more than a little embarrassed.

"And I'm Kaywie!"

Your lips twitch as you glance once more at your phone, narrowing your eyes on your niece who's face is practically pressed to your sister's phone as she gets a good look at you and Stefan who's still standing behind you. He waves and your nieces beams. "For some reason her L's get turned into W's. Her name is actually Kaylie," you say, feeling the need to explain.

"Well hello, Kaylie. It's nice to meet you." Stefan waves again and your heart melts a little at his actions.

He moves to take his seat and you turn your attention back on your niece, lowering the volume now that there's someone else at the table with you. As Stefan digs into his own lunch and gets distracted by his own phone, you start eating once more and oohing and awwing at the various dolls she starts to name.

"Okay, KG, it's almost time for me to go back to class so we're going to have to hang up now."

"Nooo," she whines. "Y/N, I wanna tawk to you."

"I know you do, tiny terror, but I really have to go. I'll see you after school. Okay? You can come with grandpa when he picks me up."

It takes a moment, but she finally relents. "Okay.. but I wanna see Stefan again."

"W-What?" You stammer. Glancing at the boy in question, you see him collecting his trash before staring at you in amusement. Then glancing at your phone, you say, "What do you mean you wanna see Stefan? How'd you even remember he was here?"

"To tell him goodbye, siwwy."

"Jesus Christ. This kid has a better memory than I do sometimes." Stefan snorts and you look at him with a guilty expression. "Do you mind? If I don't show you to her, she'll cry."

"No. It's totally fine. She's adorable."

"Pft. You say that now," you mumble. Sliding your phone over to Stefan, you quickly collect your own trash as he gives his own goodbye. Then when you have your phone in hand, you blow her a kiss. "See you later, KG. I really have to go now."

"'Kay, Y/N. Wove you!"

"Love you, too. Bye."

As soon as you hang up, you look to Stefan. "I am so sorry! She just likes talking to new people, especially if she thinks they're my friend and-"

"It's no problem. Really," Stefan smiles. "I've never had a little kid interested in me. It's very good for one's ego." You snort, but feel like a weight's been lifted off your shoulders when you realize you hadn't been a bother. "Sooo.. that was your niece?"

Seeing as everyone is finally gathering their trays to dump, you do the same and keep pace with Stefan when you see he’s waiting for you. "Yeah. My sister and dad babysit her while my brother and his wife work. She was there this morning when I was leaving for school and was very upset when she couldn't come with me. Telling her I'd facetime her during my lunch hour was the only way to get her to stop crying."

"You two must be close."

You shrug. "I'm the aunt with all the cool gadgets and games. Of course I'm her favorite." As you near the trash cans, the both of you dump your trays before leaving them aside on the designated table. Then as you head for the exit, you flash him a feeble smile. "Well.. thank you," you chuckle nervously. "This was a first for me- meeting a stranger for the first time and making him converse with my niece."

Stefan grins. "It was an amusing lunch hour I'll give you that."

"Well I better get to class," you say, gesturing to the opposite direction he seemed to be inching towards. "See you around, Stefan."

The rest of the day passes in a blur and you're surprised to find Stefan in your last class. With him are two females- a brunette and a blonde- and the brunette doesn't seem too impressed when Stefan warmly greets you before introducing you to them. The blonde- Caroline- eagerly commented on your shoes whereas the brunette- Elena- smiled tightly before dragging her friend's attention back on her. Sighing, you take a seat as far from them as possible and grin at Stefan when he smiles apologetically.

Your first two weeks at Mystic Falls High is a fairly easy transition and it's only made easier thanks to Stefan. He introduces you to his other friends, Matt and Bonnie, and they help you memorize where your classes are located. They even join you every other day for lunch and Bonnie just so happens to be there one of the day's Kaylie facetimes you. When she happily greets you and Stefan, Bonnie doesn't stop cooing for the rest of the day after meeting your niece for herself over the phone. Yet another stranger immediately fell for your niece's adorableness.

Then one evening when your brother and his wife go to an out-of-town concert, your niece stays behind and wants to tag along when she hears you talking about getting food. She wants food too and being helpless to her adorableness you take her with you when you decide to check out Mystic Grill.

You sit in a booth and are grateful when Matt walks over with a booster seat for Kaylie, and then quickly place an order for the cheeseburger special and a plate of chicken fingers for your niece. As you're waiting for your food, you see and hear your niece get excited over something she sees. Following her gaze, you can't help but smile when you see a couple familiar faces beaming back.

Stefan and Bonnie soon make their way to your table, and you gesture for them to sit across from you. "Hey, guys. What are you up to?"

"Hi, Stef'n. Bonnie." Kaylie excitedly greets.

"Hey, KG. You're looking mighty precious today." Bonnie reaches across the table and tugs on your niece's pigtail. "You being good?"

"Yeah. Y/N got me chick'n."

"That's awesome! You have got yourself one cool aunt there."

Kaylie giggles and you roll your eyes, meeting Stefan's amused gaze. "We're waiting on Caroline, Elena, and my brother," he says.

"Ahh," you muse. "Does Elena still hate me?"

"She doesn't.. hate you," Bonnie then says, cringing.

"She does," you chuckle. "I mean I get it. Sort of. Not really," you settle on saying. "But it is what it is. I can't force someone to like me."

"She'll get over it," Stefan assures you. "How can she not? You're a pretty fun person."

You scoff. "Please. You were practically forced to be my friend because KG saw you and it was love at first sight for her."

Bonnie snorts and Stefan only smiles wide in response before he glances at Kaylie who's now too busy scribbling on a child's menu with Bonnie. Your food is then brought to the table and you mouth 'thank you' at Bonnie who takes it upon herself to cut up Kaylie's chicken for her. They decline ordering food since they're waiting for the others, and then the others in question are showing up and Kaylie screeches.

"Carowine! Weena!"

The dark haired, blue eyed guy with them smirks. "Weena?"

"She can't say Elena," Elena grins, winking at your niece. "She has trouble with her L's."

And though Elena isn't your biggest fan, you're grateful that her dislike for you didn't rub off on Kaylie. Just like everyone else, Elena was as fond of the four year old as your other friends were.

"Hi. Name's Damon. Stefanie's older, much sexier brother."

At his smirk, your nose wrinkles and you take the biggest bite of your burger you can. With a mouth full of food, you mumble, "Charming." Then looking at Caroline, you nod and swallow your bite. "Hey, Caroline. Good night?"

"Eh." She shrugs. "Could have gone better. I'd much have rather been here than with Damon."

"Y/N." Kaylie tugs you shirt sleeve.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"He's pretty."

You glance at Damon and roll your eyes as he preens under your niece's pointed gesture, and everyone around the table groans. "KG, no," Bonnie complains. "Boys like Damon are the ones you need to stay away from, not call them pretty."

"Girl, we have a lot to teach you," Caroline then says. Damon’s expression turns to one of being offended, but his little grin clues you in to that fact that he's really not.

"Well this has been fun, but I'm pretty sure we're still years away until we have to warn Kaylie about boys. Right, KG?" Your niece hums and then shoves a fry into her mouth and you smother a smile as you look back to your friends. "And I'm sure you guys all want to order your own food and chat, sooo.."

"Right. Yeah," Bonnie says, already pushing Stefan out of the booth. "We'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Uh huh. Bye, guys."

"Bye!" Kaylie then says.

Life in Mystic Falls is going great, so of course things take a turn for the worse just when you're at your happiest.

You're picking up dinner for the family when it happens. Arms full of takeout bags and making your way towards your car, the world around you suddenly blurs for a moment as a sudden grip on the back of your neck yanks you to the side. You end up being slammed against the wall in what appears to be an alley and then some maniac is hissing and sinking his teeth into the side of your neck.

Screaming, you struggle to get the stranger off and give a cry of relief when his weight suddenly disappears from you. Clamping your hand over the side of your neck, you manage to get your bearings just in time to see Stefan pinning the stranger to the opposite wall with one hand.. several feet off the ground. Stefan then slams a piece of sharpened wood into the man's chest and you yelp when Stefan drops him without a single care.

"S-Stefan? What did you just do?" You breathe in shocked awe.

Stefan's shoulders hunch and he keeps his face pointed away. "You're bleeding. You need to go."

Your hand comes away from your neck and you gag at the blood coating it. Covering the wound back up, you stumble forward. "What? I-"

"Now, Y/N! Go now."

"I don't understand," you sniffle. "He just- and you just-"

"Please just go," he murmurs. "The smell-"

"The smell? What smell? Stefan, what's going on?" Stopping just to the side of him, you notice how he keeps his face pointed away. Confused, you reach in and gently grasp his chin to turn him towards you. He resists for a moment before relenting, and you gasp at what you see. The whites of his eyes are dark red and dark veins pulse beneath his eyes. "What are you?" He cringes and steps out of your grasp, and you shake your head clear as you step back. "No. Don't answer that. I don't- I don't wanna know."

"Y/N-"

"No, Stefan, it's fine. I mean it's not, but whatever," you mumble. "I'm just- I'm gonna go home and probably have a good cry in the shower, and I won't- I won't say anything so you don't have to worry."

"Y/N-"

"What, Stefan?" Whirling around, you keep your gaze averted and bite the inside of your cheek to keep from crying. "I just wanna go home."

"..I'm sorry."

A glass bottle rolls somewhere in the alley and the space where Stefan was standing is now empty, as well as the body he had dropped. Tears quickly gather once more in your eyes and you hastily wipe them away with the backs of your hands before rushing out of the alley and towards your car once you realize you had only been on the side of Mystic Grill. The bags of food you had are still lying by your car, so you quickly salvage what you can before climbing into your car and leaving.

And then once you get home, there's a small sink area in the garage that you quickly clean up at and put your hair down to hide the wound on your neck before going inside. Seeing how crumpled the bags look and realizing some of the food is missing, you sheepishly make up a lie about tripping over the bumper blocks in the parking lot and losing some of the food. Your dad waves it off and orders in a couple of pizzas, and you quietly eat your fill before disappearing upstairs.

Then once in the safety of your shower with some music playing at a decent level, you step into the cubicle with the water as hot as you can take it. It stings against the bite wound on your neck, but you manage to wash off and rinse out the wound. You stay under the hot spray as your mind works a mile a minute to figure out just what the hell happened earlier tonight.

The biting, the blood, the wooden stake.. the pieces seem to fit one specific puzzle, but it's something that leaves you reeling. What you're thinking shouldn't be real! But then Stefan showed some impressive strength, his eyes were totally weird, and the smell of your blood unsettled him. Not to mention he was impossibly fast.

Your back hits the warm tile wall and slide down until you're hugging your bent knees to your chest. "For fuck's sake," you mumble. "He totally Edward Cullen'd me."

Having skipped the following day of school to physically and mentally take care of yourself, you're not surprised when you're ambushed by your friends. You are surprised to know that Stefan told them everything and that they'd known about his secret, and even more surprised when they offer to tell you everything. For once Elena doesn't seem cold with you and even asks how you're holding up, so you answer as politely and honestly as you can.

"I'm good. I'm still kind of reeling over the fact that Stefan Cullen'd me, but that's his secret or whatever. I really don't want to know any more than I already do."

"But we want to tell you. I need to tell you," Caroline says and then proceeds to tell her story and how she'd become a vampire herself. Elena too.

Everyone has been through so much and you're not at all offended to learn that the reason Elena didn't take to you right away was because she didn't trust someone as nice as you came off, and that you'd been close to Stefan from the immediate start. Bonnie and Caroline teased her for a bit over that since she was seeing Stefan's brother Damon, and then you were sent reeling once again when Bonnie admitted to being a witch.

"Holy shit. Did you guys have to dump all this information on me at school? We really should have skipped for this."

"We'll take off after lunch," Caroline says, shrugging. "Stefan's moping at the Boarding House and we need you to get him out of his funk."

"Sure. Why not?" You muse.

Getting Stefan to come around is far easier than anyone anticipated, especially after you picked up your niece from your sister. He had seemed shocked when you all trooped into his room and then gobsmacked when you settled Kaylie onto his bed next to him.

"Suck it up, buttercup. The girls gave me the 411. We're all good." Kaylie seemed over the moon with the location change and started talking nonsense to Stefan as everyone settled down, and you smiled in a reassuring manner at him. "Seriously, Salvatore. It's fine."

"But I'm a monster. And you have a four year old crawling all over me."

"If you were a monster, you wouldn't have saved me," you told him. "If you were a monster, you would have sunk your teeth into my neck when the scent of my blood hit your nose. But you didn't."

"I could have."

"I know. But like I said, you didn't. That makes all the difference."

The entire time in Stefan's bedroom was rather intense, but he was eventually wore down. He ended up going back to school and lowering his guard around you, and the entire student population seemed relieved that you and Stefan weren't on the outs anymore. Apparently everyone had thought Stefan had bagged the new girl and had somehow managed to mess it all up, something which your group of friends found hilarious since you and Stefan were oblivious to the fact that there were some serious vibes between the two of you.

Damon had then entered the room and deemed you as his new favorite person when you wrinkled your nose and sighed, "I'm totally Bella Swan. Fuck my life."

Sitting on the porch steps in front of your home, you're scrolling through social media when you hear footsteps approaching. Glancing up, you smile as you see Stefan come to a stop, his hands tucked into the front pockets of his jeans.

"There you are. It feels like I haven't seen you in forever."

"Well you did say you didn't want to be involved in any of our vampire shenanigans."

"Can you blame me?" You laugh, scooting over and patting the spot next to you. "I got a niece who's attached to my hip most days and as much as I like you guys, I rather not be in the same place as the villain of the month when I got KG with me. I might not be involved, but Bonnie's constantly keeping me updated so I know where not to be."

"Speaking of KG," he muses, sitting down next to you. "Damon sends his apologies."

Laughing, you shrug. "Caroline told me about that. They staked a vampire right before my sister-in-law rounded the corner. He told her his friend was blacked out drunk and my in-law thought he was a creep until KG called him and Caroline by name."

"Damon was actually afraid he traumatized KG, so there's a new tablet and a few educational games at our house for her."

"Oh no. He doesn't have to do that."

"Let him. Please," Stefan huffs. "It's been a long while since my brother was genuinely fond of someone that he wasn't sleeping with."

Your soft laughter turns into full belly laughs and Stefan watches as you lay back on the porch, you then draping one arm over your face. "What even is my life? Not only am I friends with vampires and a witch, but said vampires and witch are totally wrapped around a four year old's finger. I should have freaked out more than I did."

"Admit it. It was my boyish good looks that kept you around."

Snorting, you remove your arm from over your face and meet Stefan's amused gaze. Instead of denying it, you shrug. "I thought you were hot before I found out about the fangs. And if I'm being completely honest, I've got a personal kink for pointy teeth. It wasn't that hard of a decision after I figured out how to bandage my neck."

Stefan laughs and reaches for your hand, he then pulling you up with him as he stands. "I blame your Twilight phase."

You gasp. "It was not a phase." Then standing side by side, you try to prevent the oncoming blush as Stefan doesn't release your hand. Instead he slowly fits his fingers between yours. Your eyes narrow as his grin broadens into a smirk. "I just.. read the books."

"And watched the movies?"

"You know I did. You saw the evidence in our DVD collection."

Stefan laughs, squeezing your hand gently. "Come on. Lets go find that niece of yours and take her out to eat before surprising Damon with her."

"You know you being all sorts of adorable and doting on KG only makes me that much more attracted to you, right?"

"Caroline might have mentioned something about ovaries exploding whenever KG starts climbing all over me."

"Well," you drawl. "She's not wrong." Chuckling, you start down the steps and drag Stefan with you. "Now lets go. I'm kind of hungry myself."
