It was the night of the founders party and Damon had just arrived at the Michaelsons home. He made his way to the bar. Stefan and Elena were stealing glances at each other and he could tell that the kiss he and Elena had shared might just be the last. But tonight wasn't the night to think about that. He had just started his second drink when someone clapped him on the shoulder.
"Damon mate! Mind if we have a word with you?" said the voice of Klaus. Finn, Kol, and Elijah was behind him. Damon raised an eyebrow.
"You're not going to beat me up or anything are you?" he asked, downing his drink. Klaus laughed.
"No no, we just want to have a little chat with you and Stefan." he said as they led him into a room which already had Stefan, Elena, Rebekah, and Esther in it. Stefan was leaning against a wall.
"Alright, we're here. What did you want to talk about?" he asked. The four original brothers turned and looked at their mother, Esther as she started to speak.
"I have been in a coffin for around one-thousand years, Mr. Salvatore. I want peace with my family." she said, looking at Stefan and Damon. Stefan raised an eyebrow.
"Well that s all fine and dandy, sunshine and roses but what does this have to do with us?" asked Damon. Esther looked at him.
"We have a proposition for you. We will be peaceful and civil if you both will. she said simply." Stefan chuckled.
"Klaus ha-" he started before being cut off by Esther.
"You foolish boy. It is not wise to hold grudges. They will destroy your soul." she said sternly which made Stefan immediately shut up and Damon chuckle.
"See lady, we want to be peaceful. But can your.. children?" he asked, looking over her shoulder at Klaus mainly. Klaus rolled his eyes as Esther went on.
"Yes, Mr. Salvatore. They will. she said, holding out her hand. Do we have a deal?" she asked. Damon took her hand and grinned charmingly.
"I believe we do ma'am." he said, shaking it. Elijah growled slightly.
"Stop flirting with our mother, Salvatore." he said threateningly. Esther rolled her eyes.
"Elijah hush. There is nothing wrong with some harmless flirting, is there? Besides, it s not like I m married anymore." she said, making Rebekah choke on her drink. Stefan stifled laughter as Elena s eyes grew wide. Damon smirked, bowing slightly to Esther.
"Would you like to dance madam?" he asked mainly to piss them off. Esther rolled her eyes and took his hand.
"You are way to young for me, boy. Come on." she said as he led her to the dance floor, ignoring her children s horror-struck faces. Finn blinked.
"Did she just ?" he trailed off as Kol nodded.
"Yeah mate, mum's lost her mind.." he said as they all grew silent, watching her dance with Damon Salvatore.
