I was wrong, A Delena Fanfic.
I don't own the Vampire Diaries or the characters.
CH. 1: Feelings we're not used to
It was on a spring morning that Elena Gilbert woke up and found herself thinking of Damon, the brother of her boyfriend Stefan. She had the weird feeling that she was supposed to remember something, but she couldn't remember what. She decided to let it slip, the morning was way too beautiful to worry about something like that, so she got dressed and went downstairs to find her Aunt Jenna drinking her coffee. She poured herself a cup, and sat down at the kitchen table.
After she had finished her morning rituals, she went to the boarding house. Since she didn't have school (she had holidays), she decided she could spend the whole day with Stefan. It was a long time ago since they did that. She knocked on the door and went in, since the door was always open, so nobody had to come and get it. On the way to Stefan's room she ran into Damon. Just the person she wanted to see now (not). "You seem well rested", he said, "Did you have nice dreams?" of course all the time smiling his wicked grin. She felt a blush creeping up on her face. How could it be he always seemed to know if she dreamed about him? Every time she had had a dream about him, and that was more often than she wanted, he'd make a comment about it the next time he saw her.
Then she remembered that she still didn't answer Damon's question. He was staring at her intently, waiting for an answer. He looked as if he could watch her the whole day. "Not particularly", she decided to answer him, "Enjoying the view?" He seemed to wake up from a daydream, and focused again. "You sure you weren't dreaming about me?", he asked. "And what if I was dreaming about you last night, that doesn't mean it was a good dream." She answered him.
He looked hurt. "That's weird", thought Elena, "he doesn't often show he's hurt, he mostly hides it." She said to him: "Anyway, I came here to see Stefan, not to argue with you about whether or not I dreamed about you and if it was a good dream. Do you know if he is home?" Damon answered: "I happen to know he is out hunting. But if you want to wait, I'd be happy to accompany you in your waiting."
Elena thought: "what the hell, why not?" and answered: "sure, why not. What do you want to do?" "Maybe just watch a movie on the couch and talk some?" She nodded affirmative. "You pick the movie", She said. She settled on the couch and waited for him to pick a movie. "Have you seen 'Charlie St. Cloud'?" He asked her. She shook her head. "Then we're going to watch that." He said.
During the movie, neither of them said a word. Elena noticed Damon putting his arm around her and pulling her somewhat closer during the scene where Charlie found out Tess was missing. "It is almost as if he doesn't want to lose me", she thought. But she let the thought go, because the movie was much too nice to worry through. Instead she laid her head on his chest and snuggled closer to him.
This surprised them both. Damon because he didn't think she liked him, neither as a friend nor as something more (he was surprised she wanted to watch a movie with him at all, since she seemed annoyed with him all the time), and it surprised Elena because she realised she felt a connection between her and Damon, that she allowed herself to feel, but that she didn't actually want to feel.
Still, they stayed in the same position. They both relaxed and watched the end of the movie.
When the movie was finished and Stefan still was out hunting, Elena realized she was quite hungry, but she didn't want to move. She was way too comfortable with her and Damon sitting like this, which startled her a bit. She didn't think she could ever get really comfortable around Damon, that she always should be alert, because he could say something to her and hurt her suddenly.
Of course Damon noticed that it was already past lunch time and he asked her if she wanted something to eat. "I am hungry", she said. "But can we just order something? I don't feel like going out."
They ordered some food and watched some more movie as the afternoon passed. When Elena realized that Stefan took a long time on his hunting trip, Damon said that he might have had some other things to do too. Elena asked: "When is he coming back?" "Probably not till tomorrow. But it didn't look like you minded spending some time with me alone!" Damon answered, trying to defend himself. "Damon!" she yelled and she sat up straight, "you knew that Stefan would not get back until tomorrow and you didn't tell me?" "No, I didn't think it mattered", he replied, "You looked pretty comfortable." "Well, anyway", she said, "Now I can just as easily stay for dinner and watch some more movies with you."
He was surprised she said that, although he did want her to stay. Every minute spent with her was beautiful, according to him, though he'd never let her know he thought that, and it had really hurt him to compel her to forget after he told her he loved her.
After some more movies Damon realized Elena had fallen asleep. She went back to lying on his chest pretty soon after their little 'argument', so she was still lying on his chest like that. He decided to just lie down on the couch with her and pulled the blanket over them.
How she would react to that he would find out tomorrow, but now he just kissed her forehead and went to sleep.
