The first time Athenodora told you something about her personal life was a rainy day in Volterra and the two of you decided to wear cute raincoats and boats and go for a walk around the city, Felix and Demetri following shortly after you.
When the two of you approached the park, somehow the conversation got deeper in the blink of an eye. "There has been actually one time when I got scared by Caius's reaction, though it was a long time ago." She stated and you motioned her to continue. "In the middle ages, many ancient Greek statues got destroyed because the bronze they were made of was very useful and needed at the time, for weapons, mostly. I never understood how they were able to destroy something so elegant and pure to make something so shameful.". Athenodora played a little with her hair, twisting and curling it with her pale fingers. "When they destroyed the last standing statue of Policletus, I got angry. I couldn't confront those who had destroyed the statue because they were for a powerful coven. One day I was crying in the library when Caius found me. From the moment he saw my tears, I could see and feel rage growing inside of him. I told him the whole story, and then the following day he left with Aro by his side. they returned one month later, the coven who had destroyed the statue had been slaughtered.".
You were speechless. Of course you had already understood that Caius was full of anger and potentially a very dangerous being, but you never thought he could be triggered by such a little matter.
You looked at Athenodora, who was shaking a little bit. "Hey, Dora, as you said they were a powerful coven, you would have conquered then anyway". She smiled a little and turned her head towards you. "Maybe not as violently as Caius and Aro did in the end". You shrugged. "There's no point in "maybes" and "ifs", Dora".
"It was the first time I got scared by Caius's reaction". She confessed. "He did it because you were hurt, it's understandable" you responded, and she appeared happy with this reply.
"Thank you Y/N, this was a nice talk". You smiled. "Anytime, Dora, anytime".
2. You're too good for this world (Romanian Coven fanfiction)
[Hinted a Vladimir X Stefan, but really you could read it as friends] Twelve vampires were sitting on their thrones: all they had for the servants were ice-cold gazes, as cool as they skin. Many of their subjects thought their kings and queens were unmoved by everything that surrounded them; but when throughout the whole castle the sound of a horn was heard even kings and queens started to worry. Some of them even moved from their thrones and rushed at the window, only to see the invader sending a messenger to the castle.
"Kill the messenger" ordered Anica to an archer.
"No, wait!" exclaimed Stefan "They could have sent their official surrender".
Anica laughed, but there was no happiness in her laugh, only irony.
"Oh, my dear Stefan, you can be so naïve: they have an army gathered not far from here: it's clearly not peace they're after!"
But Stefan insisted: "They could be offering a truce, perhaps! Just listen to the bloody messenger, who by the way has no fault if not being a messenger!". Anica scoffed, feeling highly irritated. She then addressed all the other convenmates: "All thpse in favour of killing the messenger shall raise their hands now". Seeing nobody did nothing, Stefan said: "Perhaps we could listen to him first and then" but he was cut off by Anica: "and then decide his fate. Yes, and excellent idea, Stefan. Shall we go?". Stefan tried to protest, but everyone was already moving out of the thrones room. Well, not everyone: Vladimir stayed behind, to comfort a much bothered Stefan.
Vladimir smiled to him: "Stef, you did everything you could". Stefan sighed: "Yes, but not enough. Messengers are not guilty of their masters' faults!".
Vladimir looked at the brunette and felt pride growing inside of him: Stefan was a fine thinker, way ahead of their time. "Does all this have to do with the fact that when I was a human I was a messenger to your very hungry vampire coven?". Stefan simply said: "Could be". Vladkmir was glad he had been a messenger, it was that very job that got him immortality -Stefan granted his wish himself.
"You're too good for this world" he finally said. Stefan smiled back at him, a little embarrassed, but all the embarrassment disappeared when the blond gave him a reassuring hug.
