"Your house is way cooler than ours... So why do you keep staying here?"
" if i didn't know any better, i'd say you're trying to get rid of me... " stefan arched a brow, giving the girl an amused look before he went back to flipping pancakes. she wasn't wrong. he did find himself spending more and more time in the gilbert household, but it was more about being close in case they needed his protection than anything else. also it didn't hurt that elena was there. " my house is like a museum. in fact, i'm pretty convinced it's haunted. i feel much safer here. " obviously, he wasn't going to terrify the kid with the details of his concerns. stefan grabbed a plate, placing a few pancakes on top of it before sliding it in her direction. " you know, if you ever did want me to leave, or felt uncomfortable about anything, you can just say the word. i can go hang out with the ghosts instead. "
