Hey! This is probably part one of two or three, its set in 4x06 for what I think the Delena fireplace dance scene will be like. Basically its set in the evening after loads of crazy stuff has happened at the Miss Mystic Falls event, but I haven't included any of that because I haven't had any big ideas for that yet, so sorry if you're confused by any of this! Hope you enjoy, thankyou for wanting to read!
I don't own any of The Vampire Diaries, or the characters etc,
She was tired, not through lack of sleep... did vampires even need sleep?
No, she was tired of everything. Klaus, 'the five', this twisted 'love' triangle, this stupid curse, Stefan. She was especially tired of Stefan.
Even before the dance she was done, a morning of pre-breakup Caroline bitching about some argument she'd had with Tyler; something about a bottle and a wall, was enough for her.
And to make things worse there was Stefan. Kind, loyal, wonderful Stefan. Stefan who had broken up with her yesterday. He'd been giving her puppy eyes all day… serious puppy eyes, 'Elena I know we're not exactly great at the moment, but I just want you to know that I'll always love you' kind of eyes. Seriously not helping her with all the other problems in her life. Then there was Damon and everything that she felt.
She didn't want to talk about it, Stefan's sad face was enough to think about and somehow seeing Damon in that …fitted… tux made concentration so much harder. Especially seeing him look up at her with those vulnerable ocean eyes from the bottom of the Lockwood stairs like he had a year ago. Right then she just wanted to grab him and tell him everything she felt, like a song she'd known off by heart. But her head had stopped her.
Elena looked up from her daze and stepped out Damon's Chevy onto the gritty Salvatore driveway and looked up. The dark blue sky was filled with glowing specks of light, the clearest night she'd seen for a while now. She had decided before she had left the event that she couldn't go back to her house, after her previous argument with Jeremy about keeping his hunters mark from her hadn't left them on the best of terms.
She looked down from the sky and peered at Damon through the car window. He looked… beautiful, she felt like his ocean blue eyes could see into her soul. She felt naked, open, her emotions exposed to his stone hard face. She felt her eyes bore into him too. She could see the contrast between his vulnerable eyes and his straight staring face.
(Damon)
He watched as she climbed out the car with grace, even in her darkest times she was able to look astonishing. He caught her eye after she looked down from observing the sky, the light from the moon had landed on her cheekbones making her face glow like the beacon of light that she was to him.
He was tired too, tired of this never-ending struggle. He's loved her for a while now and had just finally got used to the fact that it would never be him, that it was 'always' Stefan for her. Now she's apparently 'changed her mind' he didn't know what to do. But Yes, Stefan was right; today was a pretty freaking good day for him. Even though crazy shits happened, he knew that in the end for that one day… he felt kind of chosen for once.
He looked away because he didn't want to freak her out with his staring, so he walked towards the front door knowing she would be following close behind him.
(Elena)
She'd spent enough time in this house that she'd stopped jumping whenever the huge front door slammed closed, but this time was different. The unusually loud bang of the door closing shocked her out of her skin and earning her a humorous smirk from Damon. She could have sworn she had heard him mumble something about 'baby-vamps' and 'annoying amounts of superhuman hearing' under his breath.
She watched has he continued walking by the lit up fireplace and pouring himself a glass of bourbon. She was stuck standing at the edge of the room watching him drink the amber liquid down in one like it was water, she always wondered how he was able to do that.
"We still need to talk Damon," She asked confidently. But that was the last thing she was right now, confident.
He freezed and stared into his empty glass and after a moment finally glanced at her, he seemed a bit unprepared for anything today. He obviously didn't know much about her and Stefan's break up, just not as much as she'd liked. It had been an odd day for him too.
