Stefan sick/sad fics✨

darkest fear

Request: can you instead do one where Stefan tells the gang his deepest darkest fear, and then Matt and Tyler (as the evil guys they are) use that fear against him? And he gets really scared and Elena has to help him

Author's note: btw the title - pun intended lmaoooo

Stefan's pov:
It was a Friday night and because we had nothing to do we were sitting around at mystic grills . We were playing truth and dare. Bonnie, Tyler, matt, Caroline, damon and elena were all here. "Stefan! Truth or dare? " Caroline asked me in a cheery tone, as usual. "Umm truth? " " Tell me you deepest fear " "I.. I don't know if u should.. " "Oh come on Stefan it's not a big deal, we're all friends here " Caroline said, trying to make me feel comfortable. I thought about it and I agreed, I think I can trust all the people here to not use this against me ever. "I have always been really scared of dark places.. You know.." There were some nods and I saw Tyler and matt glancing at each other with a knowing look on their faces. I didn't understand what they meant by this but I ignored it thinking it would be something really not that important.. It was getting late so everyone started leaving and elena, bonnie and Caroline decided to have a girls night. While I stayed for a couple more drinks, so did Tyler. We were sitting and matt was pouring us drinks while Tyler spoke up abruptly, " Hey guys.. Do you here that?? " "Here what??" I asked.. And I really tried to search for any sound but couldn't apart from the road sounds, even with my vampire hearing. "I think there's something in the pantry.. I definitely hear something or someone-" "Oh my god, Stefan, can you help me check if there's a vampire or something out there??!" Matt asked and I agreed because I was the only one who'd probably be able to defend us if there was an enemy out there as both of them were humans. I slowly went inside the pantry with them behind me. It was cold and dim but there was one light there . "There's nothing here Ty-" I could barely complete my sentence when u heard them lock the door with me inside. " HEY?! OPEN UP THE DOOR- THIS IS NOT FUNNY!! Then the one light was also switched off. I started panicking. "TYLER?!! MATT?? PLEASE OPEN THE DOO- I CAN'T- PLEASE-" I heard them laughing and felt them walk out. Oh my god.. No one's ever gonna find me.. I- I'm gonna be here all alone.. In the dark.. No.. No.. Please.. It's freezing out here too. I try to close me eyes and think of something good.. Damon and me as kids.. Elena and my first date.. It helps for a while but then I feel sweat running down my face and I feel warm and cold at the same time. My hands are shaking and I try to hold them so that they stop but the don't I start murmuring to myself " Please someone come save me I can't do this help me i- please someone " As if that's actually going to make someone come here and help me. I know that's not going to happen at all. Maybe tomorrow someone might come and save me but I don't think I can hold on till then. I feel a hitch in my breath and I start suffocating. It's so dark and I'm on the floor leaning on the door because apart from that when I randomly run my hands around in the air searching for anything. Literally anything. There's nothing to be found. And i try with all my vampire strength to break the door but it just doesn't happen, I think I'm too scared and my body is just not working according to me.. I'm not even sure what's happening right now. It's so cold out here that I feel my back, legs and hands going numb, because I'm leaning on the door crawled up , banging my fists and begging for help. I can't believe they did this to me. Do they really think this is funny. I feel my eyes well up and tears run down my cheek. It's so cold but I feel sweet on my forehead. My throat starts feeling dry and I can't breathe anymore. "PLEASE-" I say before I feel myself choking due to lack of air. There's no hope for me but then all of a sudden I hear footsteps and try to call for help but I can't even breathe so I bang my fists at the door with all the strength I have and it looks like the person heard me. "Who's there? " It's Elena. She's going to save me.

Elena's pov:
We were watching the notebook when I realised I have forgotten my phone there. So I took off. When I reached the grills I started hearing sounds from the pantry. It sounded like someone was.. Choking.. Then I started hearing bangs on the door. I wonder who it was as I step towards the pantry to see if I can help the person locked inside but I realise there's a lock on the door. Suddenly I hear a stifled sob "E-elena" Oh my god.. It's - it's stefan. "STEFAN?!! OH MY GOD HOW- WHAT HAPPENED- ARE YOU OKAY??!?! " I start spiralling and then mentally slap myself because I know he's not able to speak and he's clearly not able to breathe as well. I try to search for a key and it takes me several minutes and I'm so worried for stefan while I hear him one more time, "please.. " The voice is so weak I barely heard it and my heart broke. I finally found the key in one of the drawers and opened it with shaky hands. As soon as I opened the door I realised why he was so vulnerable. It was darkness.. He falls in my arms and he's so cold.. His face is pale and blue-ish and he's crying hysterically. He's shaking hard in my embrace and he is wide eyes as tears fall down his cheeks..I try to calm him down and ask him what happened and he tells me getting interrupted by coughs.. When I find out I'm beyond furious. I can't believe they would do this to him. But right now.. My priority is stefan.. He's still so shaken up by all of this and I give him water and take him home. I wrap a blanket around him as I rub his back and hug him. His breathing relaxes and I feel it in the crook of my neck. He's finally okay.

Author's note: I'll be doing one more request. Have a good day. Ly.
