Sorry my Wi-Fi connection was cut off. This is why it took so much time to post the chapter. But I did not wait for my Wi-Fi to get fixed before I started to write this chapter.

Enough about the personal problems and let's indulge into the problems of the characters. So in the last chapter Stefan woke up from his coma and was hit with the news. Is he taking it well?

Stefan went to sleep with all the medications. Damon was leaning against the couch watching his little brother. Stefan became emotional after everything. Damon didn't want to bomb him with everything just yet. Knowing that their parents are dead is enough for one day. The doctor said that it's probably for the best to keep it slow. His brain needs time to process everything. So he decided to rehash one memory in one day. To him, his big brother was still a town junkie screwing up with his ex-girlfriend. Tomorrow he's going to tell Stefan about how his life changed and what he is now.

He sent Elena home about one hour ago with Klaus, whom he had also requested to stay home tonight. She was really obstinate about leaving. He finally had to beg her to go home and take some rest. After another hour or so, his eyes were drooping close. It was 2:30 AM and he didn't quite get the time for rest. So he fell asleep on the couch.

Elena's house (2 hours ago)

It was half past midnight when Caroline heard someone getting inside the house. The only person that has the keys other than her was Elena. She thought that Elena would be spending the night at Damon's. She got out of bed and went to greet her best friend. When she reached the living room, she saw that her friend was talking with Klaus. Wasn't Damon supposed to be here? Klaus was the first to notice her presence.

"Hey love." He told smiling. But his smile wasn't reaching his eyes. There was something wrong. Elena's back was still facing her.

"Hey. Is everything ok?" She asked softly. Klaus looked at Elena and back at Caroline. He dropped his eyes to his hand watch.

"I guess I should leave now." He turned to Elena and she nodded. When he left she closed the door and turned to her best friend.

That's when Caroline saw the traces of tears on her cheeks and swollen eyes.

"Elena, is everything okay?" If this had to do anything with Damon Salvatore, she would surely castrate him this time.

"Yeah, nothing is wrong." She sniffled.

"Then why were crying? Did Damon do something?"

"No, Caroline he didn't do anything…" She sat down on the couch and calmed herself. "Today I saw a really vulnerable version of him. This is the reason why I was crying. But everything is fine now. Sort of." She knew she didn't quite make sense.

Caroline was extremely confused by the moment.

"What made him so vulnerable, Elena?" After a pregnant pause Elena eventually decided to tell her. She needed to get it out.

"Stefan came back from coma."

"Stefan Salvatore? His brother?" She gasped.

"While we were on our date, Klaus called somewhere between 9 and 9:30, telling that something went off with Stefan's machine. He called an ambulance and Stefan was taken to hospital for fixing the problem. Through out the time Stefan was inside the ICU, Damon was panicking and sobbing continuously. Seeing him cry out and talk so vulnerably it made me cry along with him. After four hours the doctor came to give us the good news. Damon was over the moon by seeing his brother. But it only lasted for a few minutes before discovering that Stefan is having amnesia. He doesn't even remember that his parents had died and that Damon has also changed." She told everything to her and took a shaky breath.

"That's tragic. But the good news is that he is back in the land of the living. I'm pretty sure Damon will handle him quite brilliantly after telling him how he had changed. Then Stefan will even be successful at getting his memories back." Caroline told in her bubbly and optimistic way.

"Funny. That's exactly what Klaus said." She winked at her before making her way into the bathroom to freshen up. Damon had insisted her to get some rest. So she went to the bed and was planning on meeting him before going to school.

Just like she had planned she came by the hospital to greet her boyfriend with a cup of coffee. When she entered the room she found Damon asleep on the couch, snoring softly. On the other hand Stefan was looking at his brother. When she shut the door Stefan looked up at her.

"Oh hey, Eli…" He was struggling to remember her name.

"Elena. My name is Elena." She told him softly.

"Right, Elena. Sorry."

"No it's okay. So how are you feeling right now Stefan?" She asked smiling.

"Weak, confused, upset. I mean it's not every day that you feel like waking up in the future after you fell asleep 6 or something years ago." She listened to him as she kept the cup of coffee in the table and proceeded towards the couch where Damon was sleeping. And running her hands through his ruffled raven hair softly Damon hummed softly in his sleep. "And most of all I don't know my brother right now." He said while watching her running her hand through his scalp.

"I'm sure you'll know him in no time. He's quite different now than he was in the past." There was a long pause.

"So for how long are you two together?" he asked curiously.

"We just started recently." She was still not waking him up, just seeing him.

"No offense, but I think you should wake him up if you don't want him to have cold coffee. As far as I know he hates it." He said smirking. She was embarrassed a little bit. She couldn't find in herself to wake him up. He looked so adorable while sleeping.

"You're right." She lightly shook him lightly earning a groan. "Damon…" she softly hummed trying to wake him up. At last he half opened his eyes to look at her. He took in his surrounding before looking back at her. "I brought you coffee." She said with her hand on his thigh.

"Thanks. You didn't have to do that." He pecked her lips before grabbing the coffee. He peered over her shoulder to see Stefan smirking at them. "Oh hey, Stef… When did you get up?" he stretched himself before taking a sip of the coffee.

"I've been awake for a while. I was just busy thinking." He immediately knew what he was thinking about.

"Shit. I should get going. Don't want to be late." She got up and grabbed her bag. "Damon, I'll meet you today evening again." She kissed him quickly much to both of their dismay. They didn't want to put a show in front of his brother. "Bye, Stefan." She waved him and he waved back. Damon turned to Stefan and took the seat near to him.

Before Damon could say something, Stefan abruptly spoke up. "Do you love her?" Damon was completely dumbfounded by his question. However he couldn't help but think about the question. Of course he loved her. She's so lovable. But was he in love with her? He didn't know that yet. He never felt anything so strong for anyone. It was terrifying and incredible at the same time. He always misplaced love with what he felt for Katherine. So he was completely mystified as to how real love felt.

"I don't know. We just started dating. But it all feels very different with her. Everything feels strongly connected." He said. On the other hand, Stefan was smirking.

"She sure as hell seems like she loves you." He told him causing Damon to jerk towards him.

"What? How do you know that?" Stefan shrugged. Damon shook his head, but smile was playing on his lips. A smile. Not the smirk Stefan was used to.

"Enough about my love-life. How are you feeling?"

"Better. But still confused as hell." He said with a sigh. Damon looked down with disappointment. "So how is Ivy?" Stefan asked about his girlfriend when he was 17 years old. Damon was having a bit hard time remembering who Ivy was, but then he realised that she was Stefan's ex-girlfriend.

"You broke up with her."

"Oh… Why?" He asked suddenly feeling sad but on the other hand he remembered their relationship fading.

"Maybe it was because you had feelings for Rebecca and vice versa."

"Rebecca? Klaus's sister?" He asked wide-eyed 'like really'.

"Yep. You two dated for 3 years. She was quite heartbroken after your accident, but she eventually moved on."

"Wow ok. And what about you? What finally happened between you and Katherine that you two broke up?"

"Okay. Let's talk about what you forgot and missed about your brother." Damon suggested.

"Intriguing." Stefan said honestly. He was dying to know about the Damon in front of him.

"Where do I start?" he thought.

"How about the part where you and Katherine broke up?" He asked curiously. He always wanted to make his brother's eyes open. It was a pity that he couldn't remember the day when his brother was free.

"You remember the part where I was struggling to keep my hand off drugs and cut off of Katherine?" Stefan nodded his head. "Well one day you trusted me enough to take me out for some brother time. Of course Katherine was there in the alley fucking another guy. I always thought that all the rumors were lie, but that night my eyes opened. I lashed out on her, but she manipulated and blamed the entire thing on me. I relapsed. I left you in the grill while I drove home and consumed drugs again. That time I didn't feel like I have people to recover for. When father thought there was no other way I was sent to rehab. After spending months I finally recovered and returned home. After returning I heard that Katherine was arrested for drugs and prostitution. Of course she got out, but her parents took her out of town to Britain. Since then no contact."

"What happened after you returned from rehab?" He asked worried.

"I buried myself with work and college. I studied hard to get into Harvard. While studying at Harvard I helped father with the business. Stayed away from alcohol. Also I did one-night stands to distract myself at night?"

"Sounds depressing." He said unable to say anything.

"Funny thing is that you were always trying to make me live a little. You once in a week took me out of town or practiced a new song." That brought a smile on Stefan's face.

"Why is it a funny thing again?"

"Because you were supposed to be the broody one." Stefan playfully glared at him.

"So you were only having one night stand until Elena?"

"Not exactly." Stefan pulled his eyebrow together questioningly. "I was married for a while." The bewilderment was written clearly on his face. He was trying to find the correct words. "She was Rose."

"Rose, your childhood friend?" he asked getting more confused.

"Yep. Apparently our father wanted me to fix my reputation from a womanizer. So for that and business he married me off with her. We remained friends throughout the entire marriage. We had friends with benefit sort of complicated relationship. She died in the fire with our parents. You also went to coma the same day and I was left with nothing."

Stefan saw the pained expression on his brother's face. He couldn't even imagine how much Damon had to deal with. "What happened after that?"

"I moved us to New York to look into all father's estates more perfectly, and New York was the perfect place for communication. I also started drinking again, but happily it didn't turn into addiction. I made a few friends who helped me. And of course Elena."

"So she knows everything?"

"She knows some stories about my past. I'm telling her gradually with time to digest." Stefan nodded and smiled at him.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Damon shouted for them to come in. Ric came into the room with Klaus trailing behind.

"Good morning, mates." Klaus said smugly.

"Good morning, Nicklaus." Stefan said. He remembered how much he didn't like it when somebody called him that. Then Stefan's gaze fell on Ric.

"Hey Stefan. You might not know me but I know you fine well." He said smiling.

"Stefan this is my best friend and drinking buddy Alaric." Alaric extended the hand and Stefan willingly shook it.

After some brief introduction Klaus suggested Damon to go home and take some rest. He was persistent at first, but finally agreed to go because he felt his back aching due to the hardness of the couch. So he left with Ric, leaving Klaus and Stefan alone in the room to catch up with old times.

Elena managed to finish her paper works from the school early. Guess the students have developed their writing skills. She planned on going back to the hospital, but Ric informed her that Damon went back home, much to her relief. So she made her way straight to his place. The guards let her in. She found the extra key of Damon's house from the safe. She made her way inside his penthouse.

Damon was a light sleeper, so the jingle of keys and clicking of heels confirmed him who came at this moment. Instead of getting up and greeting her, he remained laying there pretending to sleep. Elena climbed up the stairs into his bedroom to see him lying half-naked in the bed. He looked so adorable when he's sleeping. Almost like an angel. But she could also notice the tensed muscles. He was clearly stressed. She moved to sit beside his lying form and start to massage his scalp, before a mischievous idea came in her head.

Damon had been trying to observe what she was doing with his eyes closed. He felt her sit beside him; suddenly he felt her hands running through his hair. It was gesture he'll never get used to. It was so relaxing. After that he felt her hands moving down his spine. It was tickling him. He wasn't sure if she was just doing it unintentionally or really planning on doing it. When she moved her hands to his stomach, it finally confirmed it. Out of the blue he took her by the waist and threw her in his bed. She gave a loud squeal of surprise when the mattress hit her back. But it didn't stop just then. Damon was hovering at top of her and was tickling her uncontrollably. Her giggles and squeals and his laughter filled the entire penthouse.

"Damon stop!" she said between giggles. "I can't breath."

"This is what you get when you plan on tickling Damon Salvatore." He finally removed his hand and lay on his side of the bed. He turned to look at Elena who was breathing heavily.

"I seriously thought you were asleep."

"I'm a light sleeper, baby. Small noises like opening the door can wake me up." He said smugly, before climbing on top of her claiming her lips. As soon as her hands reached his bare back she could feel the knots.

"You seem really tensed." She said softly still running her hands up and down his muscles.

"It was a pretty stressed out day." He shrugged before continuing his ministration of her mouth. Elena broke the kiss, when a brilliant plan came to her head.

"How about we take a shower?" she suggested.

"To have shower sex, I'm in." She giggled at his words.

"Yes, no or maybe so. But the main reason is to get you relaxed. So you're going to receive an Elena gilbert massage." She said as she got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. Damon propped his head on his hand watching the brunette get inside the bathroom. When she was inside he decided to join her.

Wow it's bigger than I thought. She said to herself. She stepped towards the giant acrylic bathtub and started the water. There was big shower stall from one side of the wall to the other. Damon joined Elena in the bathroom clad only in his boxers, while Elena was fully clothed.

"Don't you think you're too overdressed?" He said from just 1 cm away from her. She could feel his breaths in her ears.

={~}=

"Then help me." She said huskily. Damon moved his hands to her shoulder to take off the jacket. His hands then dropped to the hem of her t-shirt and it soon joined the floor with the jacket and her jeans. He unhooked her bra and panties, and it also joined in the floor. She had such a beautiful body that Damon couldn't restrain himself from wrapping his arms around her waist and slightly pulling her back against his chest as he leaned down to kiss her neck and shoulder. Elena closed her eyes in sensation. She turned around to face him and kiss him long and tender.

"I thought I was the one to get you off stress." She said softly after they broke off the kiss.

"We still didn't start the shower yet." He suggested her as they moved towards the tub. He closed the tap and got inside the tub. Elena followed him and sat on his lap facing him and slowly massaging the back of his neck to his shoulder and muscled back. He could feel the knot subside from his back. And he closed his eyes in the process.

"So how much has Stefan progressed since the last time I saw him?" She asked softly continuing her ministration.

"He's doing better. Today I told him about my life and how I got here." He said skipping the relationship part. All of a sudden he remembered the conversation about Elena with his brother. Is she really in love with me? He opened his eyes to look into the pool of brown and locked their eyes. He could feel the emotions running in them. Her eyes were always so intense and alive. He didn't know how but he had to be sure about how she feels and how he feels.

"Elena I need to be inside of you." Elena was dumbfounded by his sudden suggestion.

"Okay…" as soon as the words left her mouth he didn't waste another moment in kissing her. He lifted her slightly, enough to insert his length inside her. She gasped in surprise when she felt his length inside her. She slowly started to move against him. He was kissing her thoroughly while she rode him. She broke the kiss and arched her back. Her hands were around his neck, using it as leverage. Damon hand moved from her tiny waist to her perfect breast and slowly massaging it.

He noticed water droplet at the top of her nipples. He took that nipple in his mouth.

"Oh my… Damon, I'm close." She opened her eyes and looked into his eyes, which was staring back at her while he sucked her nipples. It was probably the most erotic scene she ever saw. He let go of her nipples.

"I'm close too. Come for me." He told her. After a few more thrust they came together. Elena went slack against his body. He held her body close by wrapping his arms around her. In that moment he knew that he was falling for her hard.

=}~{=

Few minutes later she gained energy and moved to look at him. "The water is really cold now. I think we should take round two in your bedroom." she said somewhat sounding innocent.

"I thought you'd never ask." He said smirking before carrying them into his bedroom and spending the night with rough passion.

How do you think? Review your opinion. The song is 'Don't deserve you' by Plumb. One of the best Delena kiss in 5x02 happened while this song was the BG music.
