"You hear that, Stef? Dean wants to be here," Damon said arrogantly, although he secretly was just as shocked at the answer as the other two were. "And I know that you enjoy the kinky threesome thing, but you aren't invited so get the hell out of here. I'm sure Elena's waiting for you."
Dean wasn't positive, but he thought that there had been some venom in the vampire's tone at the mention of this Elena girl.
"You know brother, if my memory serves correctly it's you who enjoys latching onto my relationships," Stefan responded, seeming amused. "And yet they always seem to choose me in the end. I wonder if that has something to do with your charming personality? Have fun with your hunter, I'm have a date to go to."
"You kids have fun," Damon said shooting his brother a devilish grin which immediately fell once he was out of his brother's sight.
"So, who's Elena?" Dean asked, wondering why she seemed to be a sore spot to the otherwise fairly emotionless creature.
"Oh no, I am nowhere near drunk enough to tell you that story," Damon said. "Besides I'd have to go back a century and a half to explain about Katherine then."
Dean raised his eyebrow and gazed to the table across the room that Damon had transformed into his own personal bar.
About an hour later they were both hammered and laughing at something, but neither remembered what it was anymore.
"Man, you still have to tell me that story," Dean slurred. Maybe it was due to his intoxicated state, but Damon was really starting to grow on him. He was a good drinking buddy, much better than Sam.
"Okay, okay," Damon said, also slurring. "So back when I was human there was this girl. Katherine, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. And she liked me too. Turns out she liked Stefan just as much, more. She's the one who turned me, and it was supposed to be just me. But she turned Saint Stefan, too. The town gathered up all the vampires, when we were still human and we tried to save her. That's when our Dad killed us and that's how we died with her blood in our system. I thought she was buried in a tomb, Stefan thought she was dead. It turns out that she just didn't give a fuck. She'd escaped and hadn't bothered to tell us."
"What a bitch!" Dean interrupted.
"Major bitch," Damon agreed. "Skip forward over a century, Stefan finds himself a new human girlfriend. She looks identical to Katherine, but her personality is the exact opposite."
"Elena?" Dean slurred.
"Yeah," Damon said. "I'm still hung up on getting Katherine out of the tomb. I manage to get the tomb open and find out just how little she cared. How she wasn't even in there. And Elena was just so goddamn nice to me almost all the time. She knew how to keep me from doing stupid things and she was my only friend. So being the idiot I am I fall in love with her. And I'm too dumb to keep it as just friends. Every time things are going well I'll mistake something as a signal and make a move. Then she gets mad and I do something stupid. Then she gets even madder and stops talking to me. The same thing just keeps looping. And she always stays with Stefan. Now they're living happily ever after and I'm just the annoying tag along. Because everyone I love leaves me, hell Stefan hates me. He hates having me around, I'm a complete asshole to him. I don't even know why he lets me stick around. And did I mention that when Katherine finally came back that she just wanted Stefan, nothing to do with loyal, loving Damon."
"You think everyone you love leaves?" Dean asked before taking a large swig out of his glass of scotch. "You think they all choose your goodie-two-shoes brother? My entire life I tried to be like my dad and nothing I did was enough for him, Sammy was always the favourite. And Sammy didn't even try, he was always fighting with dad. And Bobby, who's basically our replacement daddy now that real one died, thinks that Sam's a better hunter than me. The girl I love has a kid, she claims it isn't mine, but I'm not sure. It doesn't really matter because I was like his father and I lost them. Now they think that I'm just the guy who crashed into their car. Mom died trying to save Sammy. Sam's gotten pissed and left on more than one occasion. Sam's died and come back without bothering to tell me for over a year. You know my best friend used to be an angel, a goddamn angel! Now he's gone too, he chose power over me and it got the best of him. Believe me, I know how it feels to be everyone's last choice. And everyone who dares to stick around has died because of me at least once."
Both of the men were severely inebriated at that point, so it seemed like a great idea when Damon suggested, "You know what we need to do? We should go to a club!"
They had been dancing around at the club for a while when Give Me Everything came on.
"Dude this song so applies," Dean mumbled.
"I know, right?" Damon responded.
"Grab somebody sexy tell 'em hey!" Dean yelled, laughing and grabbing at Damon.
"You sir are drunk," Damon told him.
"Excuse me, but I might drink a little more than I should tonight!" Dean sang, in response to Damon.
Damon laughed and began to sing along, he was more than a little drunk himself.. They were now getting several amused looks from the people in the surrounding area.
They continued to drink even more and were soon grinding against each other on the dance floor.
"Know what we should do now?" Dean asked. "We should go talk to Elena."
"Dude, why didn't I think of that?" Damon asked, the alcohol making him think it was a good idea. "Her date with Stefan's probably over by now. I mean it's what, three in the morning?"
A few minutes later they were standing outside the boarding house where Elena was staying with Stefan. Damon preferred to stay somewhere else so that he didn't have to listen to them having sex every night. Stefan still wandered in and out of 'Damon's house' at his leisure, though.
Damon loudly knocked on the door and called out, "Elena!"
"What?" She asked opening the door a few seconds later, seeming unimpressed with the two drunk men standing in the doorway.
"I have something to tell you," Damon slurred, taking a step closer.
"I think you might want to wait until you sober up," Elena suggested.
"No, I'm saying it here and now," Damon protested.
"Damon, you really need to go home," Stefan said appearing in the doorway next to Elena.
"No," Damon said, crossing his arms and sounding like a little kid who was refusing to eat his vegetables.
"We can talk in the morning, you don't need to do something stupid now," Elena pressed.
"Ha!" Dean said triumphantly. "It already is morning. And I know that I just met this guy, but me and him are like this." As he said it he intertwined two of his fingers and Damon copied the action and mouthed 'like this'. Elena was having a very hard time not laughing. "And he is a good guy, he doesn't deserve to be treated like crap by everyone. I know what it feels like and he doesn't umm..." He seemed to have lost his train of thought. "Need to be... Led on..."
"I'm not leading him on, I'm with Stefan," Elena said. "He's my friend. That's how I love him, as a friend. And right now he needs to go home before he does anything stupider."
Dean wanted to yell further, but couldn't think of anything to say.
"You heard the lady, lets go home," Damon said. "Clearly she doesn't want anything to do with me."
Elena recognized that tone, it was Damon's self-pity tone. Which usually meant he was about to do something really stupid as a cry out for attention.
"Damon-" She cried after him, hoping to say something to comfort him and keep him from going off and killing someone.
"You know what Elena? No, I'm sick of it!" Damon snapped, he had been pretending that he was okay with the friend card for much too long. He slammed his fist down on the hood of a nearby car, leaving a quite sizable dent.
Elena sighed and placed her face into her hands as Damon dashed off with Dean, she had a bad feeling about this.
