A/N: OK so no smut in this one (sorry!) but I needed to make some rules.

I appreciate all the followers! Damn, this story has more attention than my original story haha.

I really want to keep the smut up, so if you have some suggestions for either of the Salvatore brothers and Elena, let me know and I'll use your idea for a smut chapter.

DPOV

After the much needed shower, both Damon and Elena went downstairs – Elena wearing one of Damon's shirts and some underwear she had left at the house while staying with Stefan.

"We need to talk about… This thing…" Elena started, going to the coffee machine, this was already a long night, clocking in at 2am, she wondered how long this chat would take.

Neither of the men spoke. She wasn't sure who to sit next to, so she just took a seat on the lazy boy chair.

"Well I'll start then.. Firstly. What does everyone want? Honesty time! I… I love you both. I feel so shit about it. God, I never wanted to be like her, like Kathrine. I hate her! Everything she's tried to do to us.. All of us…. But god, Damon… You're so… amazing, adventurous, so fun to be around, every day with you I'm excited for what's in store next…. But sometimes I need Stefan, just to relax and watch a movie, have a nice picnic or something, I…. I can't pick which one I want…" she sighed. "I mean, do you guys just want sex?"

With that last sentence, Stefan leaped off his chair and went down on his knees in front of Elena

"No, not just sex. I want you. All of you. I can't lose you, not now. We've been through so much… Don't…. please don't leave me…" he said, acting very clinging.

"So you want a relationship?" Elena asked, already knowing the answer, Stefan just nodded, feeling a bit put out by confessing his pretty much undying love for the woman who just cheated on him with his own brother.

"Damon?" Elena asked "You… what do you want?"

"I'd rather speak to you alone about it…" He sighed. He was a tough guy. He never wanted to show emotion around his brother. Stefan sighed, understanding they wanted to be alone and left the room.

"Soooo…" Elena stated, after an odd silence.

"Elena, since I meet you… The attraction was the first thing that drew me to you, without getting to know you and being around you every day, you look exactly like her. And at that time in my life, that was all I wanted" Elena started squirming

"This better be going somewhere good…" she sighed.

Damon came to sit beside her on the arm of the chair, looking down at her he spoke again. "When I got to know you more, there where huge difference. Your eyes for example… so innocent. Your wavy hair is beautiful and grows naturally like that, hers is not natural. Your attitude, so positive. So… glowing, caring, selfless. God I fell so hard for you" he sighed "Don't tell anyone what I'm telling you, it'll ruin my reputation". He winked

"So what exactly do you want, Damon?" Elena asked, she already knew how Damon felt about her.

"Honestly, I want you to myself. I don't want to damn well share…. But maybe we can try it out. Maybe…. Maybe it can work"

"What will we tell the public?" she asked, if they had a 3 way relationship, she was sure the people of Mystic Falls would gossip.

"They'll have to get used to it. Or I'll compel them to not care" he smirked. He knew Elena hated compulsion.

"STEFAN!" Elena yelled "Come back now please!".

Stefan skulked down the stairs. "So what's happening?"

"Well. We'll enter a relationship. But there are ground rules. Firstly, there will be no fighting over me. I love you both, clear? OK good. Next. I want my own room so if I get sick of you guys I can just be alone" Both guys nodded "Does this mean you're moving in?" asked Damon.

"Well… yeah, if I have to keep up with two boyfriends, why not?" Stefan nodded in agreement.

"OK, I don't… really want you guys having sex with other people, and I won't have sex with other people either. This isn't an open relationship. It's simply 3 people. No more. No secrets."

"What if it's a 4way?" Damon winked at her

"It's possible" she smirked. Tonight was pretty kinky for her, considering her previous encounters with Stefan had all been missionary. She was willing to try other things.

Stefan was looking at the floor.

"Anything you'd like to add, Stefan?" she asked. God, she was breaking his heart, but what was most important to her was her own happiness. She was sick of just pleasing other people.

"Sometimes I want you to myself" Stefan said, meeting her eyes with his own beautiful green ones.

"Of course. And sometimes I'll want time with you guys separately. Probably often seeing as you guys fight a lot. I don't want to make a schedule or anything odd like that, but I'll spend each alternate night with either or. Unless the other makes plans for a special occasion or something."

"College?" Damon asked

"Well, I haven't even spoken to Stefan about it. But I'm not really sure…"

"Let's buy a house in the place you decide to study. You'll live rent free essentially which will be a huge help for uni, plus we can still all be together" Stefan suggested. Perhaps this idea was growing on him?

"For once, baby bro. I agree. I recommend leaving this small town and going somewhere great like…. Harvard or…. Oxford over in England!" Damon suggested.

"Yeah well, my grades are looking great right now, so maybe, only one week until exams, too." Elena stated. "What do we tell the towns folks?" She asked, god this town could gossip, and as much as she partook in it herself, she didn't want it all to be involving her and "The Salvatore brothers".

"We enter a 3 way relationship. Fuck, we can even get married and say it's one of those weird religious things. What's it? Mormon? Islam? I have no idea. They'll buy it. They'll have to." Damon suggested, growling at the thought of people making Elena upset.

"Mm, we'll see. I have a lunch date with Caroline this arvo so I'll start by telling her….. As much as I love her, she's the biggest gossip in town, guess I'll get my stuff from my place and move in here too"

"That'll be great. As for now, lets go to bed, you're coming with me, seeing as I haven't had the luxury of actually sleeping with you yet" Damon winked at her.

"Bah. I guess that's fair" Stefan said.

"Damon, can you wait upstairs for me?" Elena asked, seeing that Stefan was down "And don't listen in… " She waited until he was gone and went over to Stefan who was now sitting on the couch

"You know I love you, right?" She asked, taking his face in her hands, placing kissing on his checks and neck.

"Yeah, just not in bed…" he sighed

"No, come on, Stefan. I'm really sorry, but… I just need more, with all the vampire crap we go through I need to…. Let go a little…. Harder I guess… I mean, we – as in you and I – need to spice things up in bed too, you haven't… ah, gotten me off yet… but it's OK! We can work on it together!"

"Yeah with advice from my brother" Stefan sighed again. He leaned into her sholder, taking her in his arms.

"No. Not from Damon. I like so and sensual, you've almost gotten me there a few times, we can work on that, alone. Just you and I… Babe I promise". She whispered.

"We can start tomorrow night. After I move in, we'll kick Damon to the curb and just be alone together, OK?"

"No Damon? Promise?" Stefan asked, almost sounding like a little kid

"Yep. Just you and me, baby." She kissed him goodnight as she got up and walked to Damons room. He was already in bed waiting for her.

"Care to share?" He asked

"PFt. Even though I told you not to, I know you listened it. Just drop it, OK? Now is my time with you. We'll just focus on us". She said, kissing him softly and snuggling into his chest.

The following month or so with gossip was going to kill her from the inside out, but she'd push through. After all, she had two of the strongest most protective plus amazingly sexy men to support her, no matter what.
