[Stefan runs away from Mystic Falls (again) because he can (mostly) and because he needs a fresh start. He's stayed in that town a little too long, and now it's time to start over and meet new people and not spend all of his time with high school students.

He chooses Beacon Hills because ... well, there's just something about it, something he can't put his finger on, and since that's worked out so well for him in the past, you'd think that he would run screaming in the opposite direction, he doesn't. He's curious, more than anything else, and that is enough to get him to stick around, at least for a little while.

But he's not going to be a high school student. Not again. Nope.

He will, however, pass himself off as a lazy college student, and get a job at a mechanic's shop (apparently their last guy got crushed by car he was working on because the lift gave out - weird), and ignore the looks he gets from the local werewolves, whether it's because they know what he is (some dark sulking guy in a leather jacket likes to glare at the back of his head when thinks Stefan isn't looking and follow him around town, which can be hilarious when Stefan has no problem leading him through places like Jungle and Sin-ema to lose him), or because they're simply confused by the smell of dead person (the assistant at the local animal clinic, and adorably so at that. Stefan's thinking about getting a dog).

All that aside, there's very few people who truly have his attention, and a dark haired huntress with the last name "Argent" (he's run into her family before, back in the 20s, it isn't exactly a stellar relationship) who he should probably leave alone because it would definitely jeopardize the quiet existence he's been building here, but he just can't help himself.

Which would be why he's buying her coffee without her consent for the second day in a row when she just so happens to be behind him on the coffee line.

(Let's be honest, of the things he could be doing without her consent, that's fairly harmless.


He's also totally going to keep doing it until she does something about it, so there's that.)



(Yes, he's aware she's a high school student. He doesn't want to talk about it.)]

[ It's early on a Tuesday morning, the week before spring break. AKA midterms hell. The coffee shop is swarming with her fellow students on their way to school and Allison doesn't recognize Stefan in line ahead of her, having already nearly forgotten the odd encounter the day prior when she had reached the register with her iced caffè americano only to be informed by the cashier that the gentleman who had just swept out the door in a hurry had been kind enough to pick up her tab along with his own. Lydia of course was delighted by the romantic charm of it, but Allison had brushed it off as a simple -- if rare -- kindness from a stranger.

This time, when she receives the news as she's reaching into her wallet to pull out her debit card, she doesn't give him the chance to escape into the crowd. ]

Hey!

[ She calls after him, reaching a hand out to lightly touch his shoulder. ]

[somanyadjectives]

[He turns at the sound of her voice giving her a practiced but confused smile as he does. He needs to play it as a random coincidence, even though she's probably smart enough at this point to know that it's not.]

Yes?

[ex_protector647]

[ He's got a nice smile -- bright, white teeth and slight dimpling of his cheeks.

She can't help but to laugh a bit nervously. Because she didn't actually think this through very well. Or, you know. At all. ]

Sorry, I wanted to thank you. For the coffee. Um, that was you yesterday too, wasn't it?

[somanyadjectives]

[He glances down before nodding.]

Oh, yeah. Must have been. I like ... paying it forward, you know?

[Liar.]

[ex_protector647]

Oh, yeah, sure. [ She isn't entirely certain that she believes him but it doesn't matter right now. Tucking a strand of her hair back behind her ear, her own smile widens. ]

Anyway. I'm Allison. I don't think I've seen you around before? [ She's been coming to this coffee shop for years. ]

[somanyadjectives]

[He smiles in return, holding out a hand for her to shake.]

No, I'm new in town. I'm Stefan.
