Some old fanfic I wrote about Stefan and Damon’s childhood based on something they said in the show
His heart beating rapidly seven-year-old Stefan anxiously hid beneath the mahogany dining tat cble, praying that the tucked in wooden chairs would hide him from view. As he heard the creeping footsteps approach, he tried to quieten his breathing, he gulped as the door swung open “I know you’re in here, there is no hiding for me Stefan.”
His brothers voice was snarky and confident.Slowly Stefan tried to crawl beneath the table away from the footsteps, suddenly they stopped, and he had reached the other side of the table.He let out a sigh.Swoosh.
The chair in front of him slid out and quickly revealed him. “Gotcha “ laughed Damon loudly his topaz blue eyes glimmering in the rays of light pouring in from the enormous windows.Stefan swerved and jolted upwards hitting his head on the table.Scarcely being able to catch his breath through his laughter Damon chuckled “I won again, get out from on that so we can play something else”.Giving his younger brother an encouraging smile he looked down on him waiting for him to move.Rubbing his slightly bruised head Stefan scurried out from under the table and glared at his brother “It’s not fair“ he whined “You always find me too quickly, I want another go”Damon smiled reluctantly “but Stef we’ve been playing for ages now and mother and father will be home soon” but Stefan was determined to win at least once. “Please Damon, just one more turn”.
Being 14 years old Damon should’ve been more responsible and said no.But Giving into the temptation of making his little brother happy he stared into his is glistening,oak green eyes.“Fine, one quick last game I’ll stay here and count to 20, go hide”
Stefan’s face lit up with joy as he rushed through the hallway,he felt the cool air skim through his messy hair.Rushing through the Salvatore mansion Stefan wanted to find the bestest hiding spot where Damon would never find him.He soon realised that he’d stumbled upon his fathers office.It was forbidden for him and Damon to enter, Stefan brushed the thought away and decided it was the perfect hiding spot.He crept inside and gently shut the door, he felt strangely calm as he knew Damon wouldn’t find him here. Too bad that wouldn’t last.
Damon, though he was going to let Stefan win he was searching left and right for him, he checked on all three floors for all the typical hiding spots,However his little brother was nowhere to be seen.
In a flash Damons heart felt as though it had stopped as he listened to the deafening crashing sound coming from none other than the direction of his father’s office.He sprinted towards there, hoping that no one had heard it. Sweating lightly and panting he put his hands on his knees and looked up at the office door and came across a tearful Stefan,sniffling indignantly. He didn’t seem to be hurt so Damons worry grew. His father scolded the idea of crying saying it showed weakness and was a sign of unmanliness.As Stefan always try to please and obey their father Damon knew that something was very wrong.”What did you do Stefan? You know we’re not allowed in there, why did you go in there? Damon yelled with a sense of underlying terror.He quickly composed himself so Stefan couldn’t see the fear in his eyes.He bent down and wiped the tears away from his younger brothers face.
Through his slightly chattering teeth Stefan whispered “I-I Just wanted to win, and now father g-going to punish me”.Damon held Stefan and close and hushed his cries. “Listen to me okay“he whispered “Its going to be alright, you hear me, I won’t let anything happen to you “ he said reassuringly.
Demon felt a small amount of regret for saying that, as he stepped into the room he saw what Stefan had done.Of course it was an accident but he knew to his father that wouldn’t make a difference.
Stefan had tried to climb upon a desk and while doing so he pulled a shelf of the wall. Unfortunately on that shelf in particular,there were several bottles of whiskey and bourbon,his father’s is very very expensive whiskey and bourbon. And he often liked to drink.They knew that well as every so often he’d fly into a blind rage as a result of his drunkenness then take it out on either him or Stefan or even occasionally on his dear mother lily. Then his heart sank once again.
He heard his parents carriage coming.Stefan looked up with his lip trembling “I’m scared “then Damon lifted his brother’s chin up with two fingers.He raised his left eyebrow and smirked “I told you everything is going to be okay,now go to your room and play with your toys”
“I’ll deal with father you have nothing to worry about now go on”
Guiltily Stefan hurried to his room.And as Damon began walking to greet his mother and father he felt as though he was walking to his execution.
He politely greeted his mother and she smiled graciously “your father will be in, in just a moment “. Demon nodded his head and watched nervously as she walked of.
Damon quickly attempted to fix his hair to try look presentable then Guiseppe entered.“Hello father “Damon tried to sound less scared then he imagined he looked,“Damon “his father responded not taking a second look at his trembling son. As he was about to walk past Damon blurted“There was an accident “looking at the ground he felt his fathers piercing gaze on him. “Where? “His father said with her venom and his voice. “Your office “Damon Mumbled
“ I warned you to never go in there boy “ he grabbed Damon by the arm and dragged him to his office. “ wait here” Damon Obeyed standing outside anxiously waiting for his his father’s response to the broken glass and wasted liquor.
Several seconds passed then Damon heard his father order “Come here”
Damon was mostly Accustomed to all them store but nothing that had ever happened in the past even came close to this.He entered the room feel his knees trembling trying to avert his father’s terrible gaze. Damon glanced up to see his father holding his black leather belt tightly. Damon felt a shiver go down his spine.
“I warned you never to come in here boy” his father spat at him.
“I’m so s-sorry, I just wanted to try a sip and the shelf broke but it was accident” Damon began
Guiessepe nodded slowly as if to accept his son’s stuttering lie.
“ It’ll never happen again, I promise” Damon said as his father passed towards him.
He shook his head, absorbing what his son told him.Filling him with quiet anger,unbeknownst to Damon.sighing Damon backed slowly towards to the door but before he could take a second step he felt his fathers fist pummelling into him face.Damon spun and collapsed onto the floor his head aching in agony.
