Yeah, so this is my redo of my other story, sorry if I've made anyone upset about it but uh… yeah… I really want to know what you guys think of this so here it is… Oh and it's set around the first 5 episodes of Season 2. Enjoy… Oh and it's night time =]
Elena was sitting on Stefan's bed, wrapping her arms around his neck as he smiled against her lips. They had plans to spend Christmas together with Elena's family. She was quite surprised that Stefan hadn't mentioned anything about spending it with Damon. He had been acting extremely protective of her lately whenever Damon was around as if he was going to hurt her.
Although she hated when he treated her like she was a child that was in danger of falling, whenever he kissed her she just put all those thoughts to rest and gave in to him.
"Mm, Kath- ", Stefan stopped mid-sentence, hoping with his entire mind that she didn't hear what he just moaned against her lips.
Elena pulling back and staring into his eyes told him she definitely heard, "What did you just say? "
"Elena, I'm so sorry, I was distracted and… I just, Elena please, I'm sorry! ", Stefan said to the wide-eyed Brunette.
Elena was in her own little world, the moment Stefan had been about to say Katherine she zoned out, he had said her name. She felt humiliated; she needed to get out of this room. Out of this house. Now.
Bounding down the stairs, taking three at a time didn't prepare for bumping in to what felt like a wall. Her eyes looked up to find Damon looking back at her, concern written all over his face. Yes, that was right, she just ran into Damon Salvatore's chest.
"Elena, slow down, just think for a second. ", said Damon, attempting to get her to calm down.
Elena's voice was shaky as she replied, "How can I slow down? He said her name, Damon! ", she whispered, wavering for a second from how fast this had all happened.
Damon closed his eyes, he's heard it all and he knew that Elena wouldn't forget this. He wanted to kiss her and take away all her pain but he couldn't do that. She loved his brother, even after this he knew she would always love him. That's just what they did. Fight, break up and get back together about a week after.
He sighed and wiped away a lone tear with his thumb, "Look at me, Elena. ", her head lifted up so she could stare into his sapphire eyes.
"Calm down, sit down and clear your head for a while. ", said Damon, putting a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.
"Damon, I'm really not planning on sticking around. I just want to get home, go to sleep and forget everything about Katherine. ", said Elena, rushing to the door only to find Damon in front of her again before she could reach the door knob.
"What's going on? ", she asked him, confused.
Damon sighed and gestured to the window, "Take a look. ", he said, moving to his
Elena moved towards the window, expecting to find her car there with the view of the driveway and trees, but instead she found snow blocking the whole window.
Her eyes widened and she turned to Damon who was casually taking a sip from his tumbler most likely full of scotch.
"Damon, Christmas is in 4 days! How long will it take for the snow to go down? ", exclaimed Elena, walking towards him.
"I don't know, it depends on how much more it snows. ", said Damon, putting the glass down and walking to the kitchen.
"What if it doesn't go down before Christmas? What if I'm stuck here for more than a week? What if- ", Damon cut her off.
"What if Bunnies started falling from the sky and it started raining fairies! ", exclaimed Damon, sarcastically.
Elena rolled her eyes at his remark, listening as he continued, "Just calm down, there's a fifty-fifty chance of the snow going down before Christmas. ", said Damon.
Elena turned around to Stefan's voice, "Elena, can I please talk to you? ", said Stefan, his voice filled with hope.
Elena sighed, "Stefan, just give me some space, I just need some time to think about this. ", said Elena, her voice obvious with exhaustion.
Stefan looked towards the ground, nodding, "I understand, I'll be upstairs when you're ready. "
Elena collapsed onto the couch, putting her head in her hands, catching the attention of the older Salvatore brother as he walked back into the lounge room.
"You need a distraction. ", said Damon, staring into the doe eyes filled with unshed tears.
"You think? ", said Elena, sarcastically.
Damon walked over to her, grabbing her hands and pulling her up, keeping her close to him a little longer than he should've and dragged her upstairs.
"Damon, where are we going? ", asked Elena, frowning, upstairs would mean having to face Stefan, something she really didn't want to do.
"Just relax, I promise you'll enjoy It. ", said Damon, his hand still had a firm grip on hers.
Elena sighed and let him guide her to an empty room that looked like a laundry room.
"Wow… This is… special. ", said Elena, sarcastically.
Damon narrowed his eyes at her, lifting his arm up and pulling a rope, bringing down a set of stairs.
"Up. ", said Damon, gesturing for her to go first.
She stepped on to them and soon found herself in the boarding house attic, but this wasn't one of those tiny attics that hold boxes of things, no this attic was huge! There were little boxes of Christmas Decorations and collectibles.
"We're going to the roof, kitten. ", said Damon, pulling her towards another set of stairs with a window at the top.
"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me that. ", said Elena, tiredly.
Damon rolled his eyes and let go of her hand to climb up the stairs first, knowing it would be dangerous if Elena went up there first because it was extremely slippery. He walked up, opening the window and stepping out into the cold night air.
When Damon signalled Elena to come up she walked up the stairs, the last step was slippery, causing her to fall over. She squeezed her eyes shut, preparing for the impact but instead she felt warm arms wrap around her. Elena opened her eyes to find Damon's face incredibly close to hers that she was almost too scared to breathe.
Damon slowly brought her back up and steadied her, taking her hand and walking her carefully to a window spot where they could sit down.
When they were seated Elena looked up, finally realising what Damon was talking about.
It had to be the most beautiful sight she had ever seen, snow was softly falling over the rooftops, the sun set lighting up the town, magically.
"Damon, it's beautiful. ", said Elena, still in awe of the sight.
Damon looked to the brunette; the sun set made her look even more beautiful than she already was.
Elena turned to Damon and had to stop herself form gasping; his sapphire eyes were lit up in the sun set and she could've sworn she saw more emotions in his eyes than ever before. Happiness, awe, sadness and… love.
The whole world stopped for just one moment while Damon and Elena stared at the sun set.
The cold, night air was starting to affect Elena and she shivered running her hands up and down her arms I an attempt to warm herself up, catching Damon's attention.
He quickly shook off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders, moving closer to her, running his hands up and down her arms, warming her up even more.
She leaned into his touch and slowly rested her head on his shoulder, suddenly realising how tired she was.
"Thank you. ", said Elena, smiling as she realised he had taken her mind off of Stefan.
"For what? ", asked Damon, turning to face her.
"Distracting me. "
