No, but I should've said something.

[He sighs, leaning forward and burying his head in his hands. He's not gonna cry here. Not now.]

I told you the full story, right? Of how we met?

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ He thinks about that, as he moves to sit beside him. ]

Uhhh, maybe not the full story? I know it was high school. How did you two meet?

[stefanged]

There was a car crash, a few months before I formally moved back into town. I heard it and so I went to see what'd happened - and there Elena was, in the middle of the river.

[His life is a romance novel. One with vampires, but still a full-fledged romance novel.]

She looked so much like someone I used to know. So much that I hesitated, but... when I got her to safety, I couldn't stop thinking about her.

[He hangs his head in shame] I shouldn't have done this, especially when I knew she wouldn't remember me, but when I enrolled in Mystic Falls High that following fall, I made it a point to know her. I figured, maybe she was related to that girl, or maybe my eyes were seeing things or... something.

[ Yeah, no, wow, this is definitely romance novel. And if this weren't in the context of a very, very sad thing happening for his bro? It would be legit teasing ammunition. But as it stands? He's not gonna touch that. ]

Wow, so you seriously saved her life, dude. Uh, did you figure out if she was related to that other girl you knew?

[stefanged]

[Use it as ammo later. Only fair compromise in this situation, right?]

Actually, yeah. Turns out she's a descendant of that other girl, and this is where it gets weird - Elena and that girl, Katherine? They're doppelgangers.

[His voice grows a little dry,] So they had plenty of reason to look identical.
