It was still a little strange to think that he and Caroline had been together ever since prom but that they hadn’t actually managed to go on a proper date before. They’d done all of the usual things like dinner and movies that they had done before they decided to take that next step but they hadn’t actually arranged anything special. Going ice skating was a bit of a whim but Dec hoped that it would end up being fun nonetheless. He would be the first to admit that he wasn’t great at skating and he hadn’t had a huge amount of practice but he knew that it would be worth it to be able to spend some time with Caroline. He had been in different relationships before but he had never let any of them get too far or last too long because they just hadn’t felt right. This time it felt different, Caroline had been his best friend ever since he was young and the two of them had grown up together. They knew everything about each other and he had confided in her about what he was right from the start. They had been through so much together and being around her made him happier than he had ever been before so he knew that he wanted to make this work. A part of him had worried what might happen if it didn’t work out between them but he believed Caroline completely when she said that she would always be there for him no matter what happened. “Looks like we’re still stuck with each other then,” he said, a smile working its way across his face as he looked over at her. “We definitely can’t have that, can we?” he chuckled. He knew that that would never happen, Caroline had always seemed so confident in who she was and in her abilities but she never let it go to her head, or at least she didn’t while he was around anyway. He knew that she’d had a few wobbles along the way but they always managed to keep each other grounded and he knew that now wasn’t going to be any different. It was easy to get lost in the kiss and as Caroline promised more of the same if he managed to skate on his own it really was an offer that he just couldn’t resist. They’d only shared their first kiss while they were at prom but Dec had quickly come to realise that he loved the feeling of it and he always made the most of it when he was able to steal a kiss. “What can I say, you’re just too distracting,” he chuckled as she hit his chest gently and told him to focus. He couldn’t stop himself from starting to feel a little nervous as Caroline skated away from him a little but he knew that he didn’t want to let her down so he did his best to focus on what she had taught him. “Easier said than done,” he admitted but he tried his best to do as she had said nonetheless. Nodding as she said he had this, Dec couldn’t help but laugh at her next words before rolling her eyes playfully as she said that it wasn’t intentional. “Sure it wasn’t,” he chuckled, starting to feel a little more confident on his feet on the ice and able to go a little faster. “How am I doing coach?”CAROLINE FORBES

standing in the wreckage i can tell there’s nothing left. i’ve made mistakes but god knows i’ve tried Looks like we’re still stuck with each other then,
Caroline let out a chuckle before he nodded her head in agreement. "Looks like it." And she was far from upset about it because there was a moment where she found it difficult to vision herself with someone else. She felt silly for worrying so much in the past and realized now that she had worried about nothing at all. Look at them now. They were good. They were more than good. It was enough to put a smile on her lips because despite everything, they found their own way to be together through all of this mess.
We definitely can’t have that, can we? What can I say, you’re just too distracting,
"Nope." She said with a pop to the 'p', her lips spreading into a soft smile shortly after. While the kiss was distracting in the best way possible, she had a plan today and that was to teach Declan how to skate and how to feel confident skating. She didn't want to force him to learn, she wanted him to figure it out on his own. She wanted it to come naturally to him. She rolled her eyes fondly at her lover before she gestured for him to keep going. To show her more.
Caroline let out a giggle at Declan's reaction to her little slip. Okay, well, maybe she did mean it. A little bit. She just couldn't miss that perfect opportunity to tease in order to lighten the mood up a bit. As promised, she was right there for him. Just in case. She wanted to be able to catch him if he ever fell and so, she waited, always on guard but there was a proud smile on her lips as she clapped her hands together a few times, her lips stretching to form a grin. "You're doing amazing." Caroline praised in a soft voice. "I'm very proud of you." She skated back a little more to make the distance between them a little longer. "I believe in you!" She cheered passionately, her lips stretching to form a soft smile. "Just... don't focus on it too much. Let it come to you naturally. Focus on coming to me." Caroline spread her arms for her boyfriend to come into them. "I'll be there to catch you if you fall. I promise." She said with a soft smile resting on her lips. She wouldn't dream of letting him fall. With her speed, she would be able to catch him. Just in case. Though she had a plan back of moving back naturally without making Dec realize the distance was growing larger. She just wanted him to continue skating over to her. MADE BY VEL OF GS

It had taken them a long time to get to this point and it seemed that they had both been nervous about it and wanted it to be perfect but now Dec was starting to think that they needn’t have worried after all. He had been so nervous about their first official date that he had worried that Caroline would realise that she had made the wrong decision by becoming his girlfriend. He was the one who had initiated the kiss at prom and it had opened the floodgates for what was really going on between the two of them. He hadn’t expected her admission to happen at all but once it had he had realised that it wasn’t one sided after all and now that he had been reminded of that he felt a little foolish for ever having doubted that in the first place. He had definitely learned his lesson and he knew that he wasn’t going to make the same mistake again. “That’s not a bad thing,” Dec said, a smile working its way across his face as he looked over at Care. Aside from Amy she was the person who knew him the best in the world and he was pretty sure that it was the same for Caroline. They had been friends for a long time and if he was honest he had wanted to be with her for a long time but the timing had never been right before and given that his track record wasn’t great he had thought that their friendship would end up getting ruined if it didn’t work out but neither of them wanted that to happen but he knew that they would carry on figuring things out the same way they had been since prom. Letting Caroline teach him to skate for their first date was risky given that Dec knew he might just end up making a fool of himself but he was actually enjoying himself more than he had thought that he would. “Does that mean I’ll get a reward later?” he asked, a playful smile working its way across his face as he looked over at her. He wasn’t actually expecting anything but he couldn’t resist asking nonetheless. He was doing his best to make Caroline proud and he was glad that it seemed to be paying off. The fact that she was making the distance between them greater should probably scare him a little but the truth was that he was starting to feel more confident so it didn’t really worry him too much. “I know you will,” he nodded, his smile becoming more genuine as he continued to skate towards Caroline. “I think I’m starting to get this,” he admitted as he started to pick up speed a little and continued moving towards her. “Don’t worry about me too much, I want you to have fun as well,” he assured her, not wanting to think that she couldn’t let loose and do what she wanted to out of worry that he would end up hurting himself.

Caroline's lips stretched to form a teasing little smile as she turned to face Declan properly. She pretended to think it over before her shoulders rose and fell in a teasing little shrug. "Maybe." She drawled with a little bounce to her brows before she let out a snicker. She really did enjoy how easy it was for her to joke around with Declan without worrying about saying the wrong thing. She knew that Declan understood her humor. She also knew that he rarely ever took her joking words seriously. He understood her better than anyone. Maybe even better than her own best friends. Maybe. Doesn't mean that she loves them any less, though. She was honestly really glad to have them in her life, Declan included. He played such an important part in her life. He held her together and helped her feel at ease. How could she want anything else, really? He was honestly all she ever wanted. From the moment she realized that her feelings for him were far from platonic and actually were romantic.
There was a proud smile on her lips when she noticed that Declan was starting to skate closer to her, gaining speed and getting closer and closer to where she was. "Look at you~" She clapped her hands together excitedly, happy to see that Declan was getting the hang of it because honestly, ice skating was the best thing ever. "Bold of you to assume this isn't fun for me, too." She said with a soft smile on her lips as she skated backwards to create more distance between the two of them. "You're doing really well. Looks like you don't need me, after all." She said with a giggle following as she continued skating backward until she finally turned. "Alright then. Catch me and maybe I'll give you that reward that you want." Caroline promised with a chuckle following after her words. She meant it, though. She hoped they were motivating enough to get Declan to gain speed and catch up to her. "Unless you don't want it~" She called out in a teasing tone, her head turning slightly to look at Declan over her shoulder. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Dec knew that it was foolish to be so nervous about going on a date with Caroline given that they had known each other pretty much their whole lives but deep down he knew that that was probably why he was so nervous. They had always been so close and he had known that he hadn’t wanted to ruin that but as it turned out telling Caroline the truth was the best thing that he had ever done. The kiss might have been to distract her and stop her from hurting someone but it had definitely been worth it and he knew that he wasn’t going to do anything to throw it all away. His history with relationships wasn’t good at all but this was different. This wasn’t just anyone that he was dating, it was Caroline and he had waited to be with her for most of his life so he knew that he wanted to make this work and right now they were managing to do just that. They had been together for the last few months and even though this was their first date it didn’t make it any less special as far as he was concerned. Ice skating wasn’t necessarily his idea of fun but it made Caroline happy so he knew that it was more than worth it to give it a shot. Caroline’s response to his question about whether he would get a reward was enough to draw a groan from his lips. “You’re killing me here, you know that?” he teased, his expression playful as he looked over at her. He might not be finding this as easy as Caroline was but he knew that he loved her and it wasn’t as bad as he had thought that it would be so he knew that it was worth feeling like an idiot for having to make Caroline teach him. It had been such a long time since he had last set foot on the ice and back then he hadn’t been very good at it either but now he was slowly starting to feel like he was getting better at it at least. Seeing the proud look in Caroline’s face as he started to get closer to her was enough to make it worth it as far as he was concerned and he felt a smile work its way across his face. “I’m sure you would probably rather be doing something other than teaching me to skate,” Dec chuckled. He was starting to enjoy himself more, though, and that was something that he hadn’t expected at all. “I definitely need you,” he grinned, knowing that he always would. As Caroline turned away from him and gave him a challenge, he knew that he would regret it if he didn’t go for it. “Oh, I want it,” he grinned as he tried to catch up to her, doing his best to reach her.

Caroline giggled at Declan's words before she shrugged her shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll live." She joked, her grin forming on her lips shortly after as she moved her hand up to brush her golden locks away from her face. She was clearly having a lot of fun right now and it showed in how vibrant her grin was. Her eyes were giving it away as well. "Maybe, but trust me, I'm happy to be teaching you how to skate, Dec." She admitted in a soft voice, her eyes finding Declan once more.
Caroline continued to skate while chuckling as she could feel Declan hot on her tail. "You're not gonna catch me!" Caroline said as she continued to skate, though it wasn't long before she was feeling Declan right behind her and soon enough, she was caught which made her laugh more as she turned to look at him. "Looks like you caught me, after all." She said with a half-smile on her lips. "Believe it or not, I was actually not going easy on you at all." Caroline said with a grin on her lips. "It was all you." She said a moment later. "Fast learner. I love that." She leaned forward to connect their lips together in a deep kiss that would most definitely wind up being Declan's reward as she looped her arms around his neck, bringing him even closer to herself.

Dec had wanted nothing more than for his first proper date with Caroline to be perfect and so far it was proving to be exactly that. The two of them had been together for a while now and they’d spent plenty of time together but when it came to actually going on a proper date it wasn’t something that had happened until now. There wasn’t a doubt in Dec’s mind that Caroline was the person he wanted to be with, he had liked her for such a long time and he had always wanted her to be happy but he had never thought that she would ever feel the same so he had resigned himself to the fact that she would be happy with someone else instead. Seeing her like this so happy and carefree was enough to remind him of why he liked her so much in the first place, though, and he knew that if ice skating was what it took to put a smile like that on her face then he wouldn’t hesitate in doing it again. “I don’t know about that, you know just how to torture me,” Dec chuckled, his tone teasing as he tried to catch up to her. With everything that had been going on over the last year it felt like a long time since he had last seen Caroline like this and he knew that he wanted to make the most of it while it lasted. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that,” he grinned as she said that he wasn’t going to catch her. He still wasn’t completely steady on his feet but he was getting better and he knew that that had to count for something. Thankfully it wasn’t much longer before he caught up to Caroline and as she said that she wasn’t going easy on him at all, he felt a smile work its way across his face. “What can I say, I have a good teacher,” he said, his smile genuine as his eyes met hers. As she spoke again he was about to respond when Caroline kissed him and he wound his arms around her waist as he kissed her back, losing himself in the kiss completely. It was only when they pulled back slightly to catch their breaths that a voice that surprised him sounded in his head – Julian’s. So many times when they were younger his brother had teased him about being in love with Caroline and each time Dec had told him that he was wrong but seeing Caroline laughing like she had been that day followed by that kiss was enough to make him realise how he truly felt about her and the words left his lips before he even realised that he was saying them out loud, his lips brushing against hers as he spoke. “I love you.”CAROLINE FORBES

standing in the wreckage i can tell there’s nothing left. i’ve made mistakes but god knows i’ve tried I don’t know about that, you know just how to torture me,
Caroline let out a gasp at Declan's words as her hand moved to rest over her heart. "Me?" She shook her head, pretending to be sad. "I could never," then her lips stretched to form a grin. "Okay yeah, maybe I do a little bit. But it's just a little bit." She squinted a space between her thumb and index finger to showcase just how little before she erupted into chuckles.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that, What can I say, I have a good teacher,
Caroline's laugh was still ringing in the air as she continued trying to skate away from Declan but it wasn't long before she was caught and it brought a grin onto her lips as she looked at her lover. "Yeah, you do." She agreed teasingly, her hand resting on Declan's cheek when their lips met, her other hand resting on his chest. She really did have a lot of fun today and it made her realize something so important about her feelings for Declan. It made her finally figure out what that feeling was. It wasn't just her liking him anymore. It ran deeper than that. He meant the world to her and having him with her brought her so much peace. He made her want to become a better vampire. A better person. Thanks to him, she wasn't so shallow. She had grown into a confident person and a loving one, too.
Caroline's eyes widened when Declan said what she was just about to say. I love you. Those three words made her feel so happy and it was clear from the grin that formed on her lips just how happy she was to hear Declan say it before her. She had spent so long worrying about damaging their friendship by admitting her feelings for the other but when they kissed, it just felt so right. Now, she realized that what she felt for him was love. She loved him. "And I love you, Dec." Caroline said so sincerely, her eyes sparking with so much love and sincerity. "I was about to say it, too. Because today has been a blast and having so much fun with you today made me realize that. Made me realize that what I feel for you is love. I'm in love with you, Declan Leroux." MADE BY VEL OF GS

Dec had felt so nervous about going on his first official date with Caroline. The two of them had spent so much time together ever since they got together at prom but deep down he had been worried that she would start to see him differently when they went on a date and that she would realise that he only saw him as her friend after all. That had been weighing on his mind a lot lately but as it turned out he needn’t have worried about it after all. The date was going well and even if there were times when he had a feeling that he probably looked a lot like Bambi on ice he was trying his best and Caroline seemed to be truly happy so he knew better than to let his insecurities get the better of him like that again. Dec had spent such a long time watching Caroline end up with the wrong guy time and time again and he had been there to pick up the pieces every time. Perhaps a part of him had been waiting for his chance to see if they could give things between them a go but he hadn’t known back then if Caroline even felt the same. Now he knew that he didn’t have to worry about that after all and it was a relief to say the least. Being around Caroline right now was so easy even if it meant that he had to tackle something that he had never been very good at. “More like a whole lot,” Dec chuckled, rolling his eyes playfully as Caroline said that she only knew how to torture him a little bit. She was his best friend and aside from Amy and Julian she knew him better than anyone so she was definitely able to torture him if she wanted to and right now she was doing just that. It wasn’t long before he caught up to her and his hands fell to Care’s waist as their lips met. From the moment Caroline had said that she wanted to go ice skating he had felt apprehensive about it but the truth was that he had enjoyed it more than he had thought that he would so he knew that he needed to make sure that he was open to trying new things from now on. He hadn’t meant for those three little words to slip out of his mouth, three words that had so much weight behind them, but he meant every word. He had known for a long time that he’d had feelings for Caroline but he hadn’t realised just how deep they were until now. He could see that he had taken Caroline by surprise but moments later she was smiling and that alone was enough to bring a smile to Dec’s face in return. Dec felt his heart racing as Caroline said that she loved him too and he let his hand rest gently against her cheek. “You were?” he asked, unable to deny that he was surprised but flattered at the same time. “I’m in love with you too, I have been for a long time,” he admitted. He hadn’t known it back then but now he knew for sure and any other worries that he might have had melted away in an instant. “Today has gone a lot better than I thought, I’ve had a lot of fun and I’m not sure I want it to end just yet,” he said as he leaned forward and kissed her again.
