Stefan sick/sad fics✨

insecurity

Request : damon teases stefan in front of the gang on something he's really insecure about and then he gets really upset so elena and damon help him feel better.

Author's note : let's pretend stefan did not die and everyone is human except Caroline and damon. So set in s8 timeline, after elena woke up, also let's pretend elena is in a relationship with stefan because that's what was requested.

Stefan's pov :
It was Friday night and we all were just chilling out. We were joking around and it was a good day . "We should play never have I ever, what do you think?? " Caroline suggested. I wasn't really interested but everyone wanted to play so, I agreed too. "Never have I ever had a threesome " Matt, damon and i took a shot which was accompanied by laughter and jokes. It was my turn.. " Never have I ever drunk t-t-texted " Did I just stutter..i was shocked.. I thought I had overcome this. I saw everyone looking at me and I felt so embarrassed. "No one? " Caroline ,damon and bonnie took a shot . I just hoped for this to never happen again. Ever. I tried to take my mind off of it but I was so embarrassed.It was Damon's turn "never have I ever s-s-stuttered" He said mockingly and everyone started laughing. Enzo, Bonnie, Tyler, matt, Caroline, elena.. Even elena. I felt humiliated and didn't remember the last time i felt like this. I tried holding back tears but failed as it brought back painful memories. I got up and went to my room, not wanting anyone to see me crying and face more humiliation.

Damon's pov:
I shouldn't have done that. I regretted it the moment I said it. Ibsaw the look on his face.. It reminded me of our childhood. Stefan used to stutter as a kid. Probably till he was 15. He got bullied for it. The children his age used to mock him and humiliate him. Being the saint he is, he never said anything . He just stayed shut and cried silently when he got home. I knew this. I still did it. God I'm so stupid . I remember father used to scold him a lot for this and when saw him crying because of this he beat the shit out of him. I regretted doing this so much. I knew this must've brought old memories back.. I saw the look on his face and my heart broke.. He was barely holding his tears back. He got up and went to his room. I knew I hurt him bad. "Stefan! Hey.. " I went after him but he closed his door. I saw elena come as well. I could hear him sobbing. "Stef please .. I'm so sorry ..I didn't mean to do that.. Please open the door.. " "Leave me alone.. P-Please.. " He stuttered again and banged his fist on the wall, frustrated. "Stefan open up the door please.. " Elena said. No response. I just heard his sobs and hiccups. I really messed up. I pushed the door with my vampire strength and entered the room to see him crouched in a corner with his knees to his chest. Face buried in his hands. He looked so vulnerable. I went closer to him. "Stefan I'm so sorry.. We didn't know you'll get hurt, we were just joking around.. We didn't know u were insecure about this.. I'm so sorry" Elena said , trying to defend us and make him feel better . " You knew.. You knew everything.. " He looked at me with teary eyes. "I'm so sorry brother- I don't know why I did this- I didn't mean to hurt you... Please forgive me- I just-" I leaned in for a hug and gripped him tightly. He was still shakily sobbing in my chest . " It reminded me of father " He said, between hiccups. "I know..I know .. I'm so sorry.. " I said soothingly running circles around his back "I act like a douche sometimes and I'm so sorry for that brother.. This will never happen again.. I promise " "You do? " He sniffed as he asked. "Yes, brother..I'm so sorry.." I tightened my  grip around him and he relaxed in my embrace.  "Stefan .. I'm so sorry.. I really didn't know.. I wouldn't have laughed.. " Elena said, with guilt evident on her face. "It's okay.. I know you didn't.. " Stefan said as he got up and gave a comforting smile.
