Are You Alone, Mister?
Chapter Nine
Lover's Quarrel
Damon and Stefan walked inside their home with smiles on their faces. They spoke of how clueless Stefan's family was about Damon. They hanged up their coats up on the hooks and then removed their shoes. Stefan groaned as they walked into the living room, Damon smiled before passing him a glass of wine, "Thank you," Stefan whispered quietly. He took a sip and then placed the glass on the floor. Damon sat down next to him and brought his feet up to his lap before rubbing them, "Mm, that feels nice." Stefan moaned loudly, "Oh, God, there, there, there!"
Damon chuckled at his words, "Did you miss this, my love?" Stefan just nodded his head as Damon continued to rub his feet, "Did you miss me?" Stefan nodded again, "Do you want me, Darling?" Stefan moaned happily. Damon put Stefan's feet back on the floor making whine in protest. Damon shushed him moving so he was in between his leg and began to kiss his neck softly. Stefan hummed his delight as Damon continued to kiss his neck and grinding into him. Damon continued to whisper words in his ear as he held onto him, "I love you, Stefan."
Stefan froze. He remembered what he was thinking a few minutes ago about how this wasn't what he needed and he had to...He pushed Damon off of him and stood up quickly, he began to pant and look around hysterically, "I can't, I just can't do this Damon. I'm so, so sorry." Stefan said as he tried to walk pass him, only to have Damon grab his arm and pull him back to face him, "Damon please, let me leave." Stefan pleaded to him desperately, "I'm begging you, Damon." Stefan said as he tried to leave again, Damon stopped him.
"What are you talking about, Stefan," Damon demanded. He continued to hold onto Stefan's arm just so he wouldn't run away from him, "Do you want to leave me or something? I don't understand!" Damon yelled, Stefan cleared his throat and didn't answer him, he didn't know what to say or to do right then, "Stefan, if you love me you will tell me what is going on, right now!" Damon demanded, he added pressure without noticing making Stefan wince as he did so, "Stefan, I said, if you love me you will tell me what is going on now!"
"I don't love you!" Stefan yelled back at him, Damon let go of his arm and stared at him in shock, "You just keep telling yourself that I love you all because you said it to me and I didn't say it back. Don't you understand, Damon, I don't, I can't, I will never love you!" Stefan demanded. The look on Damon's face seemed to kill Stefan's heart as the pain covered his face. His eyes filled with tears and his mouth hung open in shock, "Leave me the hell alone!" Stefan said simply before leaving him standing alone.
I will never love you! The words swirled around Damon like some type of...disease. It made Damon feel sick, it made him want to take the nearest wooden object and stab it through his heart. He wanted to just die right then and there. He wanted the whole world to know that he was no more, that he had died due to heartbreak and nothing else. He tried to think of something else but nothing was as important as Stefan Gilbert. Nothing would ever be as important as Stefan Gilbert. Stefan, his Stefan, the one who broke him.
Stefan walked down the port alleys, he knew that he shouldn't be there but he couldn't stop himself from being there. He had to work think just for a moment, just trying to be by himself. He sighed as sat down on his patch of hay. He heard someone clear their throat behind him and turned to find Isobel's new catch walking over to him, "Hello, Stefan," He said as he walked over to him slowly, "I always wondered what you did to survive and live in such a nice home." Jonathon said to him as he walked over to him.
"So, Stefan, tell me about your services," He told him as he watched Stefan stand up quickly at the look in his eyes as he watched him, "Tell me what you do to pleasure people, Stefan." Stefan continued to back away from him as he stalked over to him with an animalistic look in his eyes. Before he could do anything else he was suddenly thrown into the wall. He heard a low growl before a thought came to his mind that he had to go to Damon and he had to go to him right now. Stefan ran.
Damon sighed as he held the broken piece of furniture in his hands, he was going to do it, and he was going to pierce his heart with the wooden piece of furniture. He sighed before shutting his eyes and moving his hand over his heart and right before he was going to stake himself he felt someone grab the furniture and throw it across the room. He opened his eyes to find Stefan staring at him with wide eyes while he panted softly, "What in the world were you doing!" Stefan demanded as he stared at him in shock.
"Stefan, what are you doing here?" Damon asked him, "I thought you were leaving? I thought you didn't love me anymore." Damon said looking down at the floor sadly. Stefan sighed before pulling Damon so he was looking at him, "What now?" Damon asked him bitterly.
"What? Don't you want me anymore? Don't you love me?" Stefan asked half sincerely, he moved up to him so he was pressed up against his body, "I want you, but...not as much as I love you." Stefan whispered into his ear before grabbing his hand and leading him upstairs to the bedroom smiling.
