Imagine being at a ball and Stefan keeps teasing you with little touches and comments which leads to him confessing his feelings to you

 Nervous butterflies swarmed in your stomach as you stood in front of a mirror, looking at your reflection happily, but still, an uncomfortable tingle remained in your heart. You had been invited to a ball, thrown by Rebekah to celebrate a recently made peace between the Mikaelsons and the other residents of Mystic Falls, and Stefan had asked you to go with him, and obviously you had agreed. You and him had something going on definitely, but you didn't know what it was, though you wanted a lot out of the hint of a relationship but still, around him, you were nervous and awkward. But tonight, you hoped to get some clarification and answers. The game had been going on for too long, and it was killing you slowly to know that you were both falling for each other but neither made the first move.

 So there you stood, in a gorgeous, flawless dress that was perfect on you, your hair styled beautifully and your make-up done wonderfully. You felt stunning, but you still didn't know if Stefan would like it. You hated how you wanted to make every decision based on his opinions and feelings, but you couldn't help it. It was quite obvious that you had fallen for him, and it was only a matter of time when you'd awkwardly blurt out the truth, to which he'd hopefully reply in a similar way. And if things would go right, like you had imagined, tonight would end in a first kiss.

 There was a knock on your front door, and you drew in a sharp breath before picking up your dress and walking out of your room. You were ready, physically, but your heart and mind kept telling you everything else. Still, you managed to find your way to the front door which you bravely opened while smiling, expecting to see Stefan but you were a bit disappointed to see the other brother.

 "Is the lady ready to go?", Damon asked with his usual smirk, and you rolled your eyes but nodded, taking his arm so he could walk you to the car. "You look stunning, Y/N", the Salvatore complimented, and you thanked him with a chuckle but couldn't deny that you were confused. You should have been with Stefan by now, but instead your arm was linked with Damon's and he opened you the door of his car, in which you sat of course, but you still demanded answers.

 "Where's Stefan?", you asked while Damon sat in the car as well. He laughed and started the vehicle, and while driving away from your house, he opened his mouth to give you a shady explanation but it offered you a slight amount of comfort to know that at least Stefan was coming.

 "Thanks, I think I look sexy too", Damon teased, "I can't tell you, but he'll show up eventually. Baby bro decided to go big this time. Don't worry, I'll entertain you with my awesome personality and epic jokes in the meanwhile. And we can even dance." You rolled your eyes again, but thanked him for telling you before leaning your head against the window and looking at the surroundings while Damon drove to the Mikaelson house.

 "We're here", Damon then let out after stopping the car as soon as he reached the residence. You nodded, and reached to open your door, but with his vampire speed Damon had already left the car and arrived to your side to open the door for you. "I promised Stef I'd take good care of you before he shows up", he winked, and offered you his hand which you took while a wide smile danced on your flawless lips. You liked Damon, maybe spending the beginning of the night with him wouldn't be so awful. You didn't love him the way you loved Stefan, but you and Damon were still friends and he was your second choice for events like these, when Stefan was out of reach.

 With Damon on your other side, you began walking towards the mansion and together you entered the place. It was gorgeous, Rebekah had done a lovely job with the party and you made sure to let her know when she came to greet you. She and Damon maybe weren't the best of friends even if they used to have something going on, but Rebekah absolutely loved you.

 Damon walked you to the dance floor, and grabbed you two glasses of champagne. "Here you go, Y/N. Let's not get too drunk though, Stefan won't be happy if he finds his princess passed out on the floor", he grinned, and you chuckled but felt your heart skipping a beat at the mention of you being Stefan's princess. It was obvious that Damon liked to come up with nicknames for everyone, but there must have been a reason why that was yours and you begged with all your being that it was Stefan's untold feelings for you.

 "I'm going to go and fix my lipstick. Just kidding, I'll say hi to the big bad wolf and when I come back, we're going to dance", Damon said, and kissed your hand before leaving you alone. You sighed, you didn't like standing there alone, but maybe Kol or someone would bother to show you a little bit of attention. You felt awkward and stupid, being left by your date but you didn't run after Damon because even if your current situation had crossed the line of your comfort zone, you weren't a wimpy girl. You remained brave and confident, and sipped on your champagne while looking around the room, trying to find familiar faces.

 But before anyone caught your attention, you felt someone touching your arm and you turned around to see who it was, but no one was there. You shrugged, it was so crowded anyway, it could have been accidental. You returned to your reviewing, but once again you were interrupted by a sudden whoosh behind your back, and while the air played with your hair, and a suave, smooth voice spoke in your ear, you held your breath.

 "You look perfect, Y/N", you heard, and turned around, hoping to see Stefan, but once again there was no one behind you. You bit your lower lip, and looked around quickly to see Stefan somewhere nearby but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Neither was Damon, he had disappeared like ashes to wind and it caused you to grow frustrated and irritated. You didn't seem to find any of your friends either, Elena was nowhere to be seen, Caroline and Klaus were probably in a closet making out, Kol was busy flirting with girls, Elijah hadn't shown up yet and you couldn't spot Rebekah in the middle of all the people.

 Damn it, you thought, I should have just squeezed answers from Damon.

 "Don't get annoyed so easily, Y/N. By the way, your body looks... breath-taking in that dress", another comment was said to you, and you could easily recognize the voice as Stefan's. You'd always recognize it. And therefore you knew he was there, he had showed to the ball yet he wouldn't show himself. You crossed your arms after putting away your now empty glass, and took in a deep breath before picking up all of your courage and speaking to someone you didn't even see.

 "Stop playing with me, Stefan. Come on, let's dance", you suggested, but you only got laughter in return. You knitted your eyebrows together unhappily, and leaned against the nearby stairs, wondering whether you should play along or not. You looked like a fool, sure, but if he was taking slow steps towards confessing his love to you, or leading into a situation where you could do it, you wanted to do it.

 "Oh, we'll dance. Not yet, though. Sorry, princess. But I know how amazing you can be... You'll last a while, right? For me, maybe?", Stefan whispered somewhere near you, and startled you by placing his hand on your arm, touching the skin softly but when you aimed to catch him, he was already long gone. You groaned, but then nodded.

 "Fine, whatever you say", you agreed and stood up straight, walking around the room and hoping that eventually your eyes would meet Stefan's. If he liked to be mysterious, then fine, but you weren't going to give up. You wanted to find him. You wanted to spot him in the crowd, and feel that amazing, special tingle when you'd see him and your eyes would lock in an intense gaze. You wanted your heart to beat faster and you wanted your legs to go weak, you wanted to feel it all, and see him. Be with him.

 A pair of hands were placed on your waist, and you were stopped by them, and suddenly twirled around. You expected to find Stefan behind you, and got ready to lean on him but instead you were met by thin air only, and it caused you to stumble on the dress and nearly fall. You corrected your balance and cleared your throat, looking around to make sure no one saw, and it seemed like you had been blessed with avoiding public humiliation.

 "Alright, alright, sorry", you heard Stefan chuckle, "I'm sorry for teasing you. I'm in one of the rooms, you'll have to come and find me, lovely", giving you finally some kind of answers. You broke into a smile, and rushed upstairs where you were face to face with a bunch of doors that led into different rooms. You wondered what could be the right one, but then just decided to go through them all.

 You opened the first door, and found Kol making out with some random girl which you ignored and quickly closed the door. The next room was empty, while in the next one, was Elijah sleeping soundly in his bed. You giggled, and then bit your lip while a familiar bunch of butterflies filled your stomach. The next room was the last possibility, and your heart nearly failed on you when you knew you'd find Stefan there, hopefully.

 And you weren't wrong. When you opened the door slowly, you saw Stefan waiting for you in a gorgeous suit, his hair styled flawlessly, his lips curved in a genuinely happy smile while his hands held a bouquet of your favorite flowers. You covered your mouth with your palm, and chuckled while walking slowly towards Stefan, who handed you the flowers. You took them, of course, and while holding them, you looked at Stefan who opened his mouth, ready to confess something he had been holding in for ages now.

 "Y/N... I know this could ruin what we have right now, but I can't hold it in anymore. I love you. I'm so in love with you, I have been ever since I first saw you. With my all my heart", Stefan spoke. "I'm sorry, but I can't stop feeling this way. I can't force you into feeling the same way, but--", he started again, but before you could finish, you spoke.

 "Yes", you breathed out, and he gave you a confused look. You then continued, "I love you too, Stefan. For so long, I have, and I think I will for a long, long time", and placed the flowers on the nearby table before throwing your arms around Stefan's neck and pulling him down to your lips so you could kiss him. Your lips connected, and your eyes closed while your hand cupped his cheek, and his were placed on your waist. It got deeper, hotter, with each passing second you felt it becoming more intense and passionate and you loved it.

 When finally the kiss broke, you were both out of breath and it earned chuckles from you and him. You giggled, so happy that your feelings were mutual, and to be honest, it was enough to keep you smiling for the rest of your life but for sure with Stefan you'd have tons of more reasons.

 "Should we go dancing now? I think Damon promised you a dance but I'll happily be the one to deliver", Stefan smirked, and you nodded while returning the smile.

 You took his hand, and let him lead you out of the room, ready to dance. For the rest of the night.
