The Vampire Diaries One Shot

Never telling the person you loved that you loved them was difficult, but then losing them too was even worse.

You had been around much longer than Stefan had, being one of the originals had that consequence, and it was hard to forget how long you had loved him for.

For some reason, you had always thought that the two of you would be around forever and you could handle that, him alive but still not knowing how you felt.

Even that was better than him being gone.

You didn't know what to do with yourself. You had grown so used to him being with you, and the fact that he wasn't there made you want to break.

Somehow you found yourself in the cemetery, sat in front of Stefan's grave as if he would appear and talk to you.

"I probably look like a crazy person right now."

As you spoke, you felt someone watching you but to you, that was nothing new.

"Stefan, I thought you said you'd never leave. You told me you would stay with me, through everything."

You shook your head as you spoke, trying not to show anything but you knew someone was there.

"Now I'm stuck here, without you, because you left me," you stood up, staring down at the headstone. "And I can't be in this town without you."

"You're not without me," you heard his voice, but you convinced yourself that it was all in your head.

Whilst you were making your way back home, you wiped under your eyes due to not wanting anyone to know what had gone on.

When you got into the house, you let out a sigh of relief as you closed the door.

You walked through the halls, into the kitchen and still convincing yourself that Stefan's voice was in your head.

"Hello sister of mine," your brother's voice came from behind you.

You laughed as you turned around. "Hi Klaus."

"What's wrong?" he questioned as his eyes ran over your face.

"Nothing is wrong."

He sighed. "Y/N."

"Niklaus."

"Don't lie to me."

You shook your head at him. "I never have."

"Then are you okay?"

"I miss him."

He sighed once again. "You never told him."

"How could I?"

"It would've made you happy little sister."

You ran a hand through your hair, as you felt the tears well up. "I couldn't have done that to him."

"Done what? Made him finally be a decent guy?"

"He was always more than a decent guy Niklaus. And you know it."

"My apologies for not approving of the guy that never saw what I do."

You let a couple of tears fall, and Klaus' face changed instantly.

He crossed the small space between the two of you and wrapped you up in a hug.

"He's not coming back."

"I know Love. I know."

"He left me."

He moved his hand to run through your hair.

"What do I do without him?"

"You have me little sister."

As you hugged your brother, you heard Stefan's voice again. "If only you'd told me."
