She woke up slowly, the same way she always did after a long sleep, and blinked groggily at her surroundings. She smiled slowly and let her eyes drift close again just as strong arms pulled her firmly against a hard body.
"I know you're awake." He whispered seductively in her ear, sending shivers shooting down her spine.
"I'm not awake yet." She murmured, rolling over gently to face him. As always, her breath caught as she saw his eyes. No matter how often she saw him the startling blueness still made her stop and stare in wonder.
He pressed his lips against her neck slowly, teasingly trailing his way over her neck taking an achingly long time for him to finally make it to her lips. The second his lips were on hers she threaded her hands threw his hair and refused to let him move. He pulled back regardless of her strong arms and grinned wickedly at her as he started his agonizingly slow trail back over her body.
"You're evil." She said breathlessly. He murmured against the hollow of her throat sending electricity through her body.
"And don't you know it." He whispered as he claimed her mouth again kissing her sweetly, once, twice, three times. She sighed and flipped them over so her knees were resting on either side of stomach. She kissed him slowly and mocking his actions trailed her mouth seductively down his body until she reached his hipbones. He moaned and used his advantage of strength against her to pull her up to kiss her fiercely.
"I'm crazy in love with you." He whispered into her ear, placing a soft kiss there.
"And I hear Caroline downstairs." She said before rolling off of Damon's body and heading towards the door, pulling on his button up shirt over her underwear.
"I take it back." He said bitterly, glaring at the offending clothes. "But you do look good in my shirt." He raised his eyebrows suggestively and grinned at her, smiling with his eyes melting her heart.
She sighed and leant against the doorframe. "Well her vamp hearing probably heard everything, wearing your shirt isn't gonna give anything away."
Damon snorted and pushed himself up onto his elbows. "You forget she was reunited with her previously dead wolf turned vamp boyfriend."
She shook her head and rummaged around in the dresser before a pair of sweat with she threw forcefully at Damon, laughing gleefully as they hit him in the face. She guessed she could have dodged but where would the fun be in that.
He stood up slowly and dragged the sweats over his legs. Unlike her he hadn't put underwear on so she couldn't help but grin slyly and kiss him when he appeared in front of her.
"It's Caroline she will have picked up on it." She said, walking out the door and wandering downstairs. "Trust me."
By this time they were in the kitchen, interrupting a fiercely making out couple on the counter top.
Damon scowled and stalked past them to the fridge and grabbing a blood bag, chucking one at her. "In the kitchen, Barbie? Really?" he said in contempt.
"Yes." She said shortly, glaring at him. Elena sighed and sat at the breakfast bar. Maybe she just had to accept Caroline would never get on with Damon completely but if Bonnie could get over his past, couldn't Caroline? She had though that after yesterday, when he had been there to help her that she might began to accept him.
"Keep it in the bedroom!" he yelled after her as she flounced out the kitchen with Tyler following slightly after her. He paused at the doorway and turned around, facing Damon awkwardly.
"I just want to say," he started slowly, looking at Damon sincerely. "I'm sorry I bit you and I'm sorry you had to go through that because of me."
Damon opened his mouth, probably to shoot out a bitter remark but closed it gently, glancing at Elena for a split second. He sighed and held his hand out. Tyler took it and shook it firmly already looking more relieved. "I'm sorry Damon. I really am."
Damon nodded softly and released his hand. "You weren't in control. Teaches me right for trying to help."
"That another reason, I know you don't get on with Care and you only helped her because of Elena, but still," Tyler stopped and turned his deep, brown eyes to Elena's for a moment. "Thank you."
He shrugged and sat down on the breakfast bar, leaning his hand on the back of Elena's stool. "If she had been bitten by you that night things would have been different."
That simple moment that had Tyler biting Damon had changed the course of everything. A split second of time and a thousand different neurons firing directly affected everything that had led up to this moment. A slight difference in the events of that night could have drastically changed their whole lives and the people in them.
"Different isn't always good." Tyler said softly, his gaze far away. She stared at him sadly, guessing she was think about everything that had happened to him over the past few months.
"It is this time." She whispered into the silent room, staring at Damon's face.
"I didn't just help her for Elena." Damon said, staring at a wall with a strange expression on his face. "I couldn't let her die, so for unknown reason's I risked by life, and got bitten by you, just to help keep her safe and keep you from rampaging through the woods unchecked."
"I could have protected myself." Caroline said softly from the doorway. Elena stared between her and Damon, half expecting it to end with one of them dead.
"You were turned what, a year ago?" he said sarcastically. "I wasn't letting you wander off into the woods with a shifting werewolf without my help."
Caroline smiled softly, a new understanding glimmering beneath her eyes. Tyler was staring across the room at Damon, his brown eyes glinting with respect and she just sat there, smirking triumphantly at the scene around her.
Tyler nodded to Damon and flashed a smile to Elena before walking out of the door, his hands shoved into his pockets. Caroline looked back, her face unusually serious. "Thank you." She said softly before disappearing.
He sat there silently for a while, making her grin even more. "What are you smirking at then?" he asked, finally looking at her.
She cocked her head to he side and looking at him knowingly. "You know exactly what I'm smirking at."
He frowned at her and opened the blood bag and drank it down swiftly. She opened her own and slowly tried to drink it. She noticed Damon watching her closely ready it leap in if she lost control, but she kept it in check. "Damon made a friend. La la la la la la-a-a-a!" she sang playfully as she sprang off the stool to avoid his glare.
He growled at her and chased her around the kitchen, she darted away, a blur thanks to her vampire speed. She laughed freely before she ran into a hard body.
"Never. Again." He said seriously.
"Damon made a friend!" she squealed mockingly at first and then in shock afterwards as his hand clamped over her mouth.
"Never again." He repeated, still glaring at her. "I mean it."
She rolled her eyes and kissed him quickly, smiling softly against his lips as he pulled her closer to him and pressed her against the wall, molding his mouth to hers perfectly, moving in sync as if they had done it a thousand times before.
"I really do love you." She murmured, smiling sweetly up at him.
He shrugged, grinning playfully at her. "You're not so bad yourself."
He leant down to capture her lips with his own when the shrill ringing of a doorbell interrupted them. The sighed simultaneously and moved apart, wandering toward the door knowing there was no chance it could be some one friendly.
He reached for the door handle and swung the door open, barely registering their lack of clothing; he was in a pair of sweats while Elena was only dressed in his dress shirt that barely covered anything. He smirked to himself, he definitely wasn't complaining.
He was too preoccupied with his girlfriend's legs to notice who had arrived at the door.
"Stefan." She whispered, panicked, causing his head to shoot to the two figures in the doorway.
"Klaus." He hissed through gritted teeth. "What are you doing here?"
Klaus smiled infuriatingly and barged his way past both of them and into the parlor, Stefan close on his heels.
"Well you see Damon, most of my hybrids are dead and to make more, I need your pretty, little, doppelgänger girlfriend." He said pleasantly as he poured himself some bourbon. "It is girlfriend now, isn't it?" he raised an eyebrow and glanced obviously between Damon and Elena. "Considering your attire I would say I'm pretty accurate."
Elena glared at the intruder in his house. "I thought I needed to be human." She spat out in disgust.
Klaus raised a glass to them both before taking a drink casually. "Well that's where you little witchy friend comes in. Bonnie, if I remember correctly. She didn't stay much for chit chat after giving me my body back."
Damon sighed and made his usual, all knowing face at the hybrid invading his home. "In case you haven't noticed, Bonnie isn't exactly on the Christmas card list around here."
Klaus chuckled humorlessly. "Oh I'm aware, but she'll do anything to make her human."
Stefan had remained silent during the whole exchange, brooding in a corner, glaring between him and Elena.
"And at this point that's all I really want, sweetheart, and I'll kill both you're little boyfriends until I get what I want." He downed the rest of his drink, slammed it down on the table, causing Damon to growl slightly in anger at the creaking of the ancient wood, and wandered out of the house whistling a merry tune.
GUYS, I'M ALIVE. AND I UPDATED. Every single drop of creativity seems to have left my body since my last updating binge and i'm hating it! I seem to have inspiration for another fic i'm writing (It's on my laptop and not uploaded here yet - I refuse to put another fic up when I have 4 or so unfinished!)but nothing at all for this, 'Vagrants M.C' or 'Where Is The Heart?'! It's killing me. Also, I should not have uploaded 'What Is This?' so soon... definitely not with school and everything, four full length fics and my exams in a few months - yay.
Vagrants M.C Readers- Okay, next update is a work in progress, as above mentioned I'm having a hard time writing - normally I start writing and everything sort of follows through but I'm at the awkward stage in a lot of my stories where I'm not quite sure what could happen next, there are so many ways to go!
Where Is The Heart? Readers- I have actually been thinking about putting this on hiatus, i just can't get around to writing anything even though I know what I want to happen next! That's the worst part! I don't want to try writing a chapter that's actually a good enough filler before all the crazy stuff I might introduce in a couple chapters. Bleugh. Much love if you actually still follow it... it's disappeared from my e-mails recently...
Whats Is This?- This is almost getting it's second chapter up, I am considering deleting it and uploading it again when one other multi-chapter fic is finished but then again, what's the point in that?
If you actually made it this far down your pretty awesome and I guess you wanted to know why I haven't been uploading. Hope this is up to scratch and I definitely hope I might actually get another chapter up within the next week.
Reviews would be amazing, as always. (might held with my lack of creativity *wink wink*) Also, one shots are my absolute love - prompts thorgh PM would be awesome and pretty fun to write.
