When he…
When he looks at her he makes her feel… exquisite. The way he sends her a little smile when she looks beautiful in something or the way his eyes widen a little in surprise when she wears something unexpected, something sexy… She likes the fact that he makes her… feel by just looking at her.
When he talks to her he makes her feel… like an equal. Sure, both of them clash rather often in their opinions on putting each other in danger. But they are upfront about them. And when they talk about their life or anything in general… they challenge, compliment, listen, tease, smile, cry and just be with each other. She likes the fact that they can talk and trust each other with anything.
When he touches her he makes her feel… calm, protected and cherished. At first it leaves her confused. It's unexpected cause he's supposed to be the bad guy. But she figured out that's only the front he's putting up for the outside world. In fact, he cares about the people around him, actually about the whole of Mystic Falls. She likes this side of him. And marvels about the feelings he awakes in her. She likes the fact that his touch… makes her feel better, no matter the situation.
And when he lets her in on his emotions he makes her feel… special. He usually doesn't let people get close. Physically maybe, but not emotionally. But he lets her in. Lets her comfort him when he needs someone to just be there for him. Lets her hold him. Lets her see his tears. And she desperately wishes to be able to make the hurt and pain he's feeling go away. In those moments she dies a little bit on the inside and cries for him. Words fail her. But he knows she's there for him. And for that moment it's enough. She likes the fact that he trusts her enough to let himself be vulnerable around her.
