This is a very short ONESHOT that takes place after the dance in episode 1x19 'Miss Mystic Falls'. Some Dialogue is taken directly from the conversation Elena & Damon have before they find Stefan with Amber. Hope you enjoy!

The dance was amazing. From the moment we stepped away from each other I wanted to me next to him again.

I noticed Damon standing across the room looking at me. He cocked his head to the side gesturing me to go over there. I knew something had to be wrong because that is just how things were going lately. I quickly walked over to him. He gently grabbed my forearm; the minute his fingers touched my arm I immediately felt safe and warm. He walked me over to a less crowded area so we could talk in private.

"What is it? Did you find him?"

"There were signs of struggle in the upstairs bathroom, there was blood, and that Amber girl is missing."

"Oh my god. He…he wouldn't hurt her. He won't." I said trying to reassure myself that the old Stefan was in there and wouldn't hurt Amber.

"Let's just find him. OK. Let's get your coat. Come on." I knew Damon didn't believe that Stefan wouldn't hurt Amber but I am glad he didn't spit out some rude comment letting me know that.

"Wait." I said. I reached out my hand and grabbed his arm. He slowly turned around; his eyes shot down to my hand on his arm then he brought them up to meet my eyes. I took a few steps forward so we were standing slightly closer then we were while we danced. "Thank you…for saving me from complete humiliation." I said in a soft voice. I could feel his breath on my lips and I could feel my heart start to beat a little faster. I dropped my eyes down and brought them back up to his. He began moving in closer then stopped. If either of us moved our lips would have touched. I couldn't take it anymore so I pushed my head forward and grabbed his lips with mine. He brought his hand up and cupped my cheek and a second later I backed away. It was the absolute last thing I wanted to do but with all the people around it was what I had to do.

The kiss was amazing. I have to admit I have thought about kissing him before and this was nothing like I imagined. I always thought it would be rough and passionate. Well, it was definitely passionate, the most passionate kiss I have ever had but it wasn't rough at all. He was extremely gentle with me…it was just amazing.

"We better go." He said softly. He was still looking deep into my eyes and he still had his hand cupped around my cheek.

"Yea, OK." I said slightly out of breath.

He dropped his hand from my cheek and I followed him to the coat check to grab my coat.
