Who Do You Think Is More Awkward When It Comes To Flirting, Vlad Or Stefan? Given How Long It Must Be

Who do you think is more awkward when it comes to flirting, Vlad or Stefan? Given how long it must be since they've actually been in a courtship I think it would be hilarious to see them try to date nowdays.

Times are hard for Vladimir and Stefan when it comes to dating. Neither of them knows the rules of Modern Dating. They ignore it all. So I think they both would be deadly awkard while trying to date someone from 20th/21st century AD. They wouldn’t even fit the basic rules. For example, they’d show up dressed like what? They sure would wear an old shirt from another time, probably stained with blood. Nice, uh?What would they show up with? Flowers are good but would they really go the florists to buy them? Or would they pick up flowers…? If their love interest happens to be human, they wouldn’t understand that they need food, a warm/fresh place (depends on the season) and to rest after some time. I’m not even sure they’d be able to resist the thirst. I’m pretty sure they’d date vampires, though it’s diffuclt for them to find someone their own species who doesn’t hate or fear or pity or find them laughable.

To respond to your question, I think Vladimir is more awkard. Stefan is (almost) canonically more laid back than his companion, and would bring their partner to some park, just strolling and chatting and enjoying nature. Very simple but has its effects because Romanian nature is literally breath-taking. Stefan, in general, a good listener and observer, so it’s definetely a plus in a romantic meeting. He knows all the relaxing places all over Eastern Europe because he, too, once in a while, needs a pause from the constant eye-gouging and war-starting rambling of Vladimir. Vladimir on the other hand would spend a very serious amount of time planning his date to the smallest detail. He would bring their love interest to some old castle and try to impress them with his countless stories of The Good Old Times. He knows how to keep people entratained but his way works only with people who totaly hate the Volturi -and not many vampires are ofnd of the idea of declaring outloud they don’t like their kings.

Stefan has surely tried to explain to Vladimir how to improve his dating skills, but since Vladimir think of himself as a perfect being, it ended with them not speaking for one week and then catching up and apologizing with a hug.

Vladimir: Stefan, wrap up warm if you go out.

Stefan: Vladimir, I'm not a child. Besides, it's pretty useless given the fact that we're vampires and-

Vladimir: *hands him a coat, a scarf, a hat and a pair of leather gloves * I said WRAP. UP. WARM.

Pre-Battle Bonfire - Breaking Dawn Part Two (2/2)

5. “Do you think we’re bad people?”

They two of them were sitting on a rock, taking a pause from all the nonsense that was going on at the Cullens’ house. 

“Infants. They treat us like wicked people. We’re the ones that could make a difference in the battle with the Volturi” Vladimir said in a desperate tone. 

Stefan put a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. “Vlad, why do you even care? Likeyou said, they’re nothing but infants. They don0t realize the danger they’re in”.

Vladimir was grateful to Stefan for his speech but at the same tim he wasn’t really satisfied. “Have you noticed how the newborn always carry her child away from us? Not even if we were monsters...”. 

Stefan sighed. “I still don’t understand why you care”

“I care” Vladimir began, almost irritated “because they’re the archeotype of today’s society. And given how we’re treated here, today’s society thinks that we’re bad people, that means that we have absolutely zero chances of going back to power”.

Stefan looked saddened. “Do you think we’re bad people?”

Vladimir immediately saw the look on Stefan’s face. “I don’t know, Stefan...”- But seeing that Stefan was getting even more pensive, he quickly added: “No, we’re not bad people. It’s them who have stupid criterions. We are good, Stef. You hear me?”. 

Stefan smiled at Vladimir, knowing fully well that the blond didn’t use his soft voice and manners very often.

22:  “This is going to hurt.”

[In this ff there are people physically and psychologically hurt. Be warned]

Runnig. 

Running was the only thing they could do once they had escaped from that hell.

Their coven had been destroyed. Their family had been killed. 

“Stefan! Run away! Go north, go north!” he screamed, tears running down his face. 

Stefan ran north, through the woods. He only stopped when he was sure nobody was following him. He took a deep breath and burst out crying violently. 

Then, he felt it. Vladimir’s scent was near, so he started to look for him. 

The blond was laying on the ground, his body was covered in wounds and scratches and cuts. Stefan shook his head and sobbed. 

“Oh, Vladimir…” he whispered, trying to stop crying, in vain.

He then saw it. Vladimir’s chest was swollen and he was laying on the ground in such an innatural position it could only mean he was seriosly injured. 

He quickly got near to his companion, only to see that his ribs were in a wrong position. He passed a hand over them and Vladimir shivered in pain. 

Stefan started to shake. He closed his eyes and soon he was as calm as he could be in that moment. He knew he needed to act fast, otherwise Vladimir’s bones couldn’t be fixed anymore.

“This is going to hurt” he said, looking Vladimir straight in the eyes. The blond shivered at the mere thought but nodded.  “Do it”.

*********

After he had done it, Stefan held Vladimir in his arms, trying to comfort him. He knew he was suffering more than he thought it was possible, but he would have soon be better. Stefan hoped Vladimir would be fine as soon as it was possible. They would get their revenge and Vladimir wouldn’t have to suffer ever again.
