Stefan sick/sad fics✨

car sick

Request: Stefan has epilepsy, and because of that he can’t like drive and stuff. And the gang goes and does like some kind of car race like 2 times a week. And they won’t let Stefan come because of his epilepsy. So he gets like really sad about it and everything. And when Elena notices one day that Stefan was crying when they came home the next time they went out she stayed at home with Stefan and they played some kind of car game like Mario cart.

Author's note: set after s8 I guess, because Stefan is human

Stefan's pov :
I suffered from epilepsy when I was a human but it all sort of went away when I turned.. But because I'm a human now.. It came back.. It's been hard but my friends are supportive.. Still , I really miss some things.. What I miss the most is going to the car race every Friday and Saturday .. I used to be unstoppable, always won. The first time I was in a car as a human I had a very bad seizure and was never able to drive a car again.. It makes me really sick. I miss is so much and usually don't notice it , but I feel really left out on the days where all of my friends go to the car race and enjoy themselves while I'm all alone at the house brooding over how much I miss it. It's not their fault, I know.. They shouldn't have to stop enjoying something just because I have epilepsy ajd can't drive..because.. I'm a weakling.. I remember what father told me when I was unable to ride a bicycle at 10 because of my epilepsy, "SUCH A WEAKLING! YOUR MOTHER WOULD'VE DIED AGAIN IF SHE HAD SEEN YOU BEING SUCH A SISSY!!" He used to scold and insult me so much because of my seizures, but I couldn't control them.. I really tried but I wasn't getting better. Damon helped me a bit but being turned really made my epilepsy disappear.. I totally stopped getting seizures.. Now that I'm human again, it hurts.. I feel different and as if I don't fit in. I was lying in my bed thinking about how much my life had changed when I heard people talking and chatting downstairs.. I realised this was a Friday, all of the gang must've gathered to go join the car race.. I wish I could too.. I feel like maybe I can drive.. Maybe I won't get sick.. Maybe it was just a one time thing.. I go downstairs to talk to Damon and Elena about this and they completely disregard my idea, "stefan no! You can't! Remember how bad your condition had gotten the last time? You can't take this risk! " Damon scolded me,"but.." " No buts! " He stated authoritatively , but with compassion, "I'm sorry brother" And so he left.. Elena gave me an apologetic look and left too. I was all alone now.. I couldn't stop my tears.. I felt so lonely, I felt like a freak, all alone, left out. I sat down on the couch and wept silently..

Elena's pov:
When I came back from the car rave I could not process what I saw.. Stefan was lying asleep on the couch, with his eyes puffy, clearly from crying and his face tear stricken.. I understood the cause .. He felt left out.. I get it, he missed the car race so much, he was invincible.. He told me how much his epilepsy hurt him when he was a human, now that it had come back , it wouldn't have been easy for him.. I felt so bad for him. I couldn't form he right words to comfort him. He started waking up.. I went to him and hugged him tight, running my hands soothingly in circles on his back. He relaxed at my touch and buried his face in my neck.. I had to do something to make him better. Tomorrow was a Saturday, we would leave him again and he'd feel sad.. I wouldn't let that happen . I had an idea.
It was Saturday. Stwafn woke up slumped.. Clearly not looking forward to anything.. He heard the chatter downstairs and frowned. I know what he was thinking . "Hey!! You woke up!" He smiled hesitantly. "I have something AMAZING planned for us today, guess what? " " What?" He was actually confused but I could see a small smile forming on his face, " Car racing! " "What? Really?!!.. Wait is this some kind of a joke because it's not-" "I'm not kidding, but you know you can't drive.. I'm sorry! But that doesn't mean we can't have fun!! We're gonna play Mario Kart!! " I said with a big smile on my face, unfortunately, his smile wasn't as big, it was barely a smile.. "Oh.. Okay.. You really don't have to ruin your fin because of me Elena.. I mean.. " "I know, I'm not Ruining my fun at all! I love mario Kart! Besides I never win the car rave anyways " I said trying to lighten his mood, "it's not the same thing as var racing but.. Thank you" He said with a  sad smile. I could see he wasn't excited but I knew he was gonna have fun so dragged him with me. Not fifteen minutes later he was laughing and enjoying himself, "oh my god elena! This is so much fun!! " He said chuckling. I was glad I made him happy!
