Giving Us A Try- Chapter 4
I do not own TVD or any of it's characters.
November 1, 1953
Happy birthday brother! I am usually with you on your birthday, even if you don't usually know when I am around. I don't know why I keep writing these letters. It's not like you are going to get these. Maybe it's for my own sanity. I guess I just miss my brother. I know you don't need me anymore, but I guess you are stuck with me. Today, Enzo gave me a bit of his blood so I can get the strength to write this letter. He gave me a sympathetic look as if he knew I was losing my mind but complied anyways. I don't think I can do this anymore. It's been 3 years and I can't take another day of this torture. I am waiting for you brother.
Damon
Stefan folded the letter and wiped his eyes. He felt alone, lonely, but worst of all, he felt guilty. It made him frustrated. Guilt was a familiar feeling. All the years of killing without remorse. Guilt has become his best friend. That's why Stefan came to Mystic Falls, and that's why he took the easy way out. He started to live like a human.
He found Elena and fell in love with her. He forgot about his brother as if he meant nothing to him and the guilt he was feeling for that, was worst than anything he has ever felt before. His mind was clouded with the "love" and obsession for Elena, he forgot with his big brother, who took care of him since he was a baby. Stefan didn't know that his brother looked after him all those years and he always thought that Damon didn't have any humanity.
He gave up on his brother, while his brother never gave up on him. Stefan put the letters back in their envelopes, not missing the blood stains that were all over them. He straightened the envelopes out while thinking. Nervously, he played with the envelopes, his hands shaking slightly.
Did he know his big brother at all?
1994- The other side
Bonnie and Damon kept staring at the boy sitting on the bench in silence. It was almost hard to believe that there was another person instead of them. They looked at each other and silently communicated. Bonnie who was getting annoyed of the silence finally turned herself so she can face Damon completely.
"Let's go." Bonnie said as she walked towards the guy who was sitting on the bench. Damon looked at her with disbelief.
"Woah, Woah, Woah!" Damon held onto Bonnie's arm. "We can't just go up to him. We don't even know who he is!" Damon exclaimed. Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Yes we can, and yes I will." Bonnie said quietly.
"Oh yeah!" Damon said smiling sarcastically. "And what are you going to say? That you are a witch who lost her powers with a vampire, and you died because you were the anchor to the other side and you saved your friends and couldn't save me because the witches stopped there spell?" Damon clapped his hands. "Don't forget to give him some pie with that introduction, I mean we are his new neighbors." Damon said as Bonnie glared at him and than sighed. "Okay, I see your point." Bonnie said in defeat. Damon smiled feeling accomplished.
"We have to think logically Bon." Damon sighed as he noticed the disappointed expression his friend was wearing. Bonnie looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Who are you and what have you done with Damon?" Damon snickered. "These Bonnie Bear, are the benefits of having 1000 year old boyfriends, you should try it sometime." Bonnie giggled. "I think I will pass."
While the two were having the conversation they did not realize that they had been spotted. When they heard an unfamiliar voice, the two of them stopped and their heads shot up.
"Bonnie and Damon! It is so good to finally meet you both! My name is Kai Parker."
Klaus grabbed the knife and made a cut on his wrist, watching as the blood dripped into the bowl. Alaric watched the action confused.
"What are you doing?" Alaric asked.
"Giving my blood to Veronica for the spell." Klaus replied without taking his eyes off the blood.
"I can see that." Alaric rolled his eyes. "Why?" He questioned. Klaus sighed loudly as he thought about what to say but gave up as he realized that he had no choice but to tell the history teacher about his relationship with Damon.
"Well, you need the blood of the significant other don't you?" Klaus asked with a sly smile. Alaric's eyes widened. "You mean, you and Bonnie!" Alaric exclaimed in shock.
"No, I mean Damon." Klaus said calmly and if possible, Alaric's eyes went wider. Before he can speak another word, Klaus spoke up, "We will talk about this later, first we need to deal with this spell which means we need Bennett blood and Stefan's blood." Klaus looked at Veronica who nodded.
"I got the Bennett blood covered." Veronica said as she took the knife and made a small cut across her palm. Soon her blood mixed with Klaus's. "Call the brother. I will leave you two alone to talk and sort things out." Veronica left the room and went up the stairs. Alaric quickly looked towards Klaus.
"Care to explain how and why you are dating my best friend and I didn't even know about it!" Klaus looked up from his phone with the calmest expression on his face.
"Tell Stefan to get here." Klaus said to Alaric who took out his phone and texted Stefan without taking his eyes off Klaus. Klaus sighed and sat up straight.
"Where do you want me to start?" Klaus said slowly. Dammit! Damon has made him go soft. Klaus grumbled to himself as he put his phone in his jean pocket.
"The beginning, and don't leave anything out!" Klaus rolled his eyes wishing Damon would have been here to take care of this. Klaus told Alaric about the first time they kissed, and Elijah, and how Klaus asked Damon to "hang out". By the end, Alaric was laughing like a maniac.
"So, where did you guys go for your date?" Klaus rolled his eyes.
"It wasn't a date." Klaus looked around the room and than back at Alaric.
"We didn't really get a chance to hang out for a long time. One night, Damon came to my house and there were some things that happened, and some things I regret till this day." Klaus said with a slight flinch. Alaric narrowed his eyes.
"I still can't believe you asked him out like that. It was very...human of you." Alaric stated. Klaus sighed."Before we were vampires, we were human. We lock our humanity up to deal with the people around us, but when you find a person who will not judge you in any way, and thinks the way you think, you open up to them. For some reason, I opened up to Damon that night. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened. Believe it or not, Damon and I are similar in many ways. But, we swore that we will not speak of the events that were happening between us because the others might take advantage of our humanity and weaknesses." Klaus looked at Alaric who was looking at him with a look of understanding.
"After all, love is a vampires greatest weakness." Klaus said surprisingly softly. After a moment of silence Alaric spoke up, "So, what happened next?" Klaus sighed once again and cleared his throat.
"Where were we?" Klaus thought for a moment. "Oh yes, Damon came to the mansion after he had a fight with his brother and Elena wanting to take up on my offer to hang out. My guess, he wanted some closure. He looked devastated." Alaric nodded slowly.
"Why did he come to you?" Alaric asked.
"Think about it, everyone in town hated him for one reason or another, They hated him because he was being himself. I was the only one he can be himself around." Alaric nodded understanding a bit.
"Continue."
Flashback- "Damon! To what do I owe the pressure to?" Damon barged into the house. Klaus raised an eyebrow but closed the door.
"Look, I know that you probably don't care about me, and we aren't even friends, and that kiss was probably just a kiss and nothing more, and that you don't want to hangout, even though you were the one who went all Edward Cullen and asked me to hangout with you, but I just need a place to stay and I had a fight with my brother and Elena and I have no where to go and ugh!" Damon put his face in his hands.
"God! This is all you fault!" Klaus raised an eyebrow looking amused.
"My fault?" Klaus asked, not hiding his amusement. Damon let out an exasperated sigh.
"Yes! I mean You were the one who kissed me, I was minding my own business, and you were the one who went all Damon lets go out sometime!" Klaus couldn't help the small smile that spread on his face.
"And if things couldn't get anymore complicated, you and I are enemies, we are planning to kill each other even if you can't freaking die! Oh and did I tell you I have to be a better man because I am just so damn terrible and-"
Klaus grabbed onto Damon and pulled him closer. Klaus brought his lips closer to Damon's and kissed him with all the strength he had. When Klaus pulled back, he had a smirk on his face and Damon just looked confused, frustrated, and disoriented.
"Shut up." Klaus whispered. Damon sighed becoming more and more frustrated by the second.
"Why?" Damon whispered letting his guards down.
"Why what, love?" Klaus asked.
"Why are you doing this? Is it some sort of game? A way to get Elena or something? Because everyone wants Elena!" Damon threw his hands up. "Or is it like some kind of stupid how to screw over Damon plan?" Damon slumped on the couch at Klaus's intense stare. "Because everyone hates me! My own brother. Damon scoffed. "Hell, even my own father hated me, so why would a big-bad powerful hybrid be any different! Honestly, I don't even know what's wrong with me! Why do I even care! I shouldn't even be here! What the hell am I doing here?"
Damon was about to get up when Klaus sat on the sofa and held his wrist and pulled him back down.
"Do I need to kiss you again?" Klaus chuckled. At Damon's annoyed look he sighed and leaned back on the couch casually.
"Honestly Damon, I don't know why I kissed you, or why I am the way I am with you, but I promise you that it is not a plan and I am not using you." Damon just nodded.
"Maybe, I am smitten by you." Klaus confessed quietly. Damon's eyes widened. He looked at Klaus with shock but didn't say anything. He nervously licked his lips and cooled down. Damon smirked.
"Of course you are Klaus. I have that affect on people." Damon winked. Klaus chuckled and got up to grab his phone that was now ringing.
"Sister, how can I help you?" Klaus said sarcastically without taking his eyes off Damon, who was now looking at the paintings around the room. "Nik! They killed him! He's dead!" Rebekah exclaimed. "Calm down sister! What is the matter?" Klaus asked with a hint of panic. "They killed him! Kol is dead!" Rebekah sobbed. Klaus's grip tightened on his phone.
Damon who heard the conversation looked at him with wide eyes. Klaus's once warm brown eyes were cold, with no emotion except anger present.
"Who?" Klaus growled. "Stefan, Elena, and the rest of their stupid friends."
Klaus threw the phone against the wall and zoomed towards Damon, who gasped in surprise and stepped back slamming into the wall.
Present Time
"Stefan!" Caroline's voice echoed through the boarding house.
Stefan didn't look up from the letters in his hand.
"Stefan!" Caroline called again as she used her vampire hearing to track Stefan's movement. Soon enough, she popped her head into Damon's room to see Stefan sitting on the floor with a box in front of him. Caroline narrowed her eyes and quietly stepped into the room, shutting the door behind her.
"Stefan?" She asked softly."Are you okay?" She sat next to Stefan. She looked at the letters in his hand and than at the expression of despair on his face. She waited patiently for him to say something. They sat in silence until Stefan finally spoke,"I am the worst brother ever." Stefan whispered, bowing his head in disappointment.
"No, No you're not. You are a great brother." Caroline started comforting him. Caroline waited for his answer but instead, Stefan handed her the letters he was holding. Caroline opened them carefully, preparing herself for what she might see.
"Oh my god." Caroline whispered as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"I can't do this to my brother Caroline, not again." Stefan said with wide eyes. Caroline nodded.
"You won't. We will bring him back, we will bring both, Bonnie and Damon back." Stefan nodded.
"We are going to get Damon and Bonnie back." Stefan smiled at Caroline, putting the letters away.
Caroline put her arms around Stefan and leaned her head on his shoulder. Stefan kissed her on her head. "Thanks Caroline." Stefan whispered as he hugged her back and closed his eyes.
"No problem at all Stefan, I will always be there for you."
