Elena stared at the ceiling talking herself into getting out of bed to start her very ordinary day. She had been laying there for over half an hour listening to her best friend and another one of his casual women have what sounded like pretty average sex. She knew it was only average considering it was every other day she woke up to him having sex on the other side of her wall. The worst part of it all was she could hear every single thing that was going on in there because of her stupid heightened hearing. She loved most of her vampire abilities but at times like these she just wished she could turn it all off and go back to being human. All of a sudden the overwhelming coppery scent of blood drifted into her room and she grunted and snapped; that was the last straw. She had told Damon a hundred times not to feed from a human while she was still in the house. She threw the covers back and speed to his door, growling when she got there to catch his attention.

"Hey baby. Want to join?" Damon said while giving her his best grin. The blonde on top of him continued to ride him not even caring that there was somebody watching them have sex. Elena rolled her eyes at his choice of woman and the fact that she obviously didn't care that the man she was riding was calling another woman baby and asking her to join them. How tasteful Elena thought.

"No Damon I do not want to join. What I want is for you to actually listen when I talk. I have asked you a million times not to feed from humans when I am in the house. You know that I can't control myself when I feed from them and you continue to push my limits by doing it in the next room." Elena said while clenching her jaw. He made her so mad and she just wanted to jump on his bed and slap that smile off his face.

"Sorry. I got carried away babe. I went to the hospital last night and got some more blood bags. Let me just finish up here and I will be down in a minute." Damon gave her a genuine smile and then flipped the blonde over and slammed into her coming after only a few more thrusts.

Elena ran down the stairs and opened the fridge seeing it was fully stocked again and grabbed a bag downing it almost instantly. After taking a deep breath she grabbed another bag and walked out to their lounge room and fell back on to the couch. Taking this bag more slowly she shook her head and cursed herself for letting him off the hook yet again. She hated that she could never be angry at him for more than a few minutes. He simply had to smile at her or call her baby and she would melt. He was her best friend for close to 30 years now and they knew each other better than anybody else in this world. They were each other's family and support system and she knew that without him she probably wouldn't be alive today.

She could hear them walking down the stairs, stopping at the bottom so he could compel her. He fed her some generic line about having a great night, to cover the bite mark for the next few days and not to call him again. She giggled and skipped out the door and Elena couldn't help but roll her eyes. He plopped down on the couch next to her snatching her blood bag and giving her his winning smile before taking a long sip of the blood.

"Damon." Elena said while giving him a knowing look he had grown to hate.

"I know, I know ok. I just get carried away when I'm in the throes of passion." He smirked while raising his eyebrows at her.

"Passion Damon? Seriously? I live in the next room. We share a wall for Christ sake and I know that wasn't passion this morning." She said while laughing at him.

"Ok so that may not have been passion but at least I was getting some unlike you. You were the one who was listening in anyway. How weird is that missy?" Damon said while poking her side.

"It's pretty hard to not listen in Damon. Like I said we share a wall and I've got stupid vampire hearing remember?" She said while letting out a huff in irritation.

Damon wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into his chest and laughed at his best friend. He loved her more than anyone in this world even though she was fiercely stubborn and sometimes drove him crazy, but he just couldn't get enough of her.

"You know it's only passionate when it's with you Lena." He kissed the top of her head while whispering his statement. She looked up at him and smiled knowing she was the only one he was open and honest with. He leaned in to kiss her and she back away.

"Don't even think about it. I know for a fact you haven't showered or brushed your teeth yet since that little bimbo was all over you." She laughed still trying to get away from him but he was relentless trying to get a rise out of her. He finally had her pinned to the couch under him and he leaned down slowly and kissed her jaw. "Ew gross Damon" she said while still giggling under him.

"I'm gross to you?" Giving her a smirk.

"No the blonde is gross to me. Your fine I suppose." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Please I'm your world and you're mine so just deal with it already." He quickly kissed her neck and moved off her walking out of the room. "I'm taking a shower. Wanna join?" Elena just laughed and picked up the now empty blood bag from the couch and threw it in the bin on her way back upstairs.

Damon stepped into his shower closing the glass door behind him basking in the warmness of the water. He loved that the hot water made his body almost feel warm to his own touch. He missed feeling the warmth of human blood running through his veins every day. After a minute he couldn't help but smile feeling someone else's presence in his bathroom.

"Normally I have to beg you to shower with me." He slowly turned around to find Elena sitting on his vanity staring at him.

"Let's go out tonight. I feel like drinking a lot of alcohol and finding some poor guy or girl to spend the night with." She said without even blinking. She was suddenly very determined to just go out and do something fun. They used to go out every few nights but she had turned Damon down the last few weeks not really feeling in the mood to be around people.

"Finally. I was wondering when you were going to snap out of this slump. I've missed having you by my side." He said while continuing to wash and lather his body. To the outside world it would seem strange that Elena was sitting watching while he showered but the two of them knew each other inside and out and after 30 years nothing was a surprise anymore. They were best friends and although they had tried being in a relationship many years ago ending in Elena catching Damon cheating on her, she had long since forgiven him and moved past any resentment. She had come to accept him for who he was. Now they both slept with whoever they wanted to while still sleeping with each other. They both secretly knew nobody else even came close to making them happy but neither could completely commit to the other for some reason. Whenever they came close one of them would do or say something and they would end up in a huge fight leading to a week of silence, angry make up sex and then laughing about how stupid they both were.

Elena finally smiled at him and jumped down off the vanity. She started undressing and Damon opened the shower door waiting for her to step in. After dropping her underwear on the ground she wiggled her eyebrows at him and slyly started to back out of the bathroom grinning at him. Right before she was about to enter into his bedroom she waved at him and bolted.

"Oh no you don't." Damon yelled running after her. It only took him a second before he wrapped his arms around her lifting her off her feet and throwing her over his shoulder. She kicked and screamed at him while they both laughed.

"Put me down Damon." She giggled while punching his chest. He quickly had them back in the shower and pulled her down to her feet so she was under the water.

"I'm glad you're coming out tonight baby. I missed you." He leaned down and kissed her while the warm water ran over their bodies.

"I've missed you too babe." She whispered against his lips. She knew she was turning over a new leaf and she was just glad that Damon was there holding her hand through it all.
