Giving Us A Try

Chapter 9

I do not own TVD

Damon walked slowly to the boarding house. Hands in his pocket, head ducked. The party had ended, and a lot has happened.

He had an awkward conversation with Elijah. He didn't know how to handle that, he honestly didn't know how to handle any of it. Damon sighed. He didn't want to play with Elijah's feelings. Damon shook his head.

He had kissed Klaus. Damon smiled slightly. It was surprisingly good. Damon kicked the pebble in front of him but gasped when he was pushed against the wall.

He growled and tried to push the man off but he was stronger. Damon shivered as the man looked at him with hunger. His eyes filled with darkness. Damon opened his mouth but the man covered it with his hand. Damon tried to kick, but the man had him trapped. His arms being held by the strong grip of his hand. Damon narrowed his eyes.

"Hello Damon." The man whispered.

Damon just growled lowly.

"I can see why Klaus is interested in you. You are truly a beauty."

Damon wiggled in his grip, making the man growl in frustration.

"Stop moving!" Damon didn't stop.

The man snapped Damon's head and Damon fell to the ground.

The mysterious man sighed as he studied Damon's unconscious form.

"I guess we have to do this the hard way."

Klaus tapped his foot on the carpet of the boarding house. His eyes trained on Damon, studying his every feature. He had missed him so much. Klaus swirled the liquid in his glass around, but couldn't bring himself to drink the blood, his worry for Damon getting the worst of him.

He didn't hear the rest of the gang coming inside the boarding house with Bonnie. They stared at him with shock and suspicion. Klaus couldn't blame them, but he didn't try to talk to them or reassure them. He didn't want to waste his time on it.

He swallowed and finally put the glass on the table in front of them. His eyes never leaving the raven haired vampire lying unmoving on the couch next to him. He watched him like a hawk, waiting for a movement, even twitch of a finger.

To his surprise, Stefan came to him.

"Give it some time Klaus, everything will be okay." Klaus let his eyes flicker to the younger Salvatore before bringing his attention back to the unconscious raven beauty lying in front of him.

"I know." He whispered quietly.

Caroline held onto Bonnie's hand as she watched her unconscious best friend for the first time in months.

"Get up Bonnie. Please…I need you." She whispered, rubbing circles on the back of Bonnie's hand.

Caroline sniffed before getting up to close the door. She took a seat near her best friend, needing her attention, needing her comfort.

"I have so much to tell you. Everything is so messed up. I'm in love with my best friend's boyfriend and I have no idea what to do." Caroline's voice was full of despair.

"I don't even know if I can call her that anymore. We barely talk, Elena…She changed. We have so many unsettled problems, problems we know exist but we are too afraid to acknowledge, too afraid to talk about. On top of that, I had to fall in love with Stefan…" Caroline wiped the lone tear that had fallen and shook her head.

"We need some girl time." Bonnie's raspy voice made Caroline's bubble of self-wallowing pop.

"Bonnie!" Caroline exclaimed, clutching onto Bonnie tightly.

"Care." Bonnie replied with a sob, tears swimming in her green eyes.

"Oh my god! I missed you!" Caroline sobbed hugging Bonnie. Bonnie nodded frankly. They pulled apart and Bonnie slowly got up with Caroline's help.

"Where is Damon?"

Klaus caressed the back of Damon's hand softly as he waited for Damon to wake up. He could hear voices from upstairs indicating that Bonnie has woken up. Klaus's worry increased and he sighed, closing his eyes and clutching onto Damon's hand.

Klaus didn't know how much time passed as he waited for his mate to wake up, a small twitch of the fingers made Klaus's head snap up, his brown eyes wide, full of hope and happiness. He sighed closing his eyes and opening them again.

This time when he looked at Damon, tired yet happy blue orbs that he missed so much stared back at him. Klaus couldn't help the smile that spread across his face, his eyes watering slightly.

He didn't know how to act, how to stop all the emotions he was feeling after seeing Damon's beautiful eyes after months.

"D-Damon?" He whispered kneeling down next to Damon, clutching onto his hand tightly. Damon smiled.

"Hi baby."

Klaus leaned in, capturing Damon into a kiss, needing to make physical contact, needing to know that this is all real. Damon smiled into the kiss but pulled back to catch his breath.

He looked at Klaus with a confused expression. "Klaus…What's going on?" Damon whispered as he tried to sit up. Klaus pushed him down gently and smiled at him adoringly.

"There are some things you need to know Damon…but right now, can you just let me enjoy the moment please."

Damon raised an eyebrow but smiled none the less. Forgetting about his aching body, his need to catch his breath, and the weakness in his body as he saw Klaus smile. "I guess I can give you a minute." Damon replied sarcastically but after a minute his expressions changed. Emotion took over, and for some reason Damon couldn't control it.

"I missed you so much." Damon whispered. "I thought I would never see you again." He whispered pulling Klaus closer to him, clutching onto his shirt like he was afraid to let go.

Klaus ran a hand through Damon's hair. "I know…I missed you too Damon." Klaus whispered softly, giving Damon a quick peck on his lips.

Damon slowly got up in a sitting position. Klaus watching his every move like a hawk.

"Where's Bonnie?" Damon asked looking around.

"Upstairs with Caroline." Klaus replied as he lifted Damon up and sat him on his lap.

Klaus gazed at Damon longingly. Studying everything. The beautiful shade of blue that were his eyes, his high cheekbones, and smooth skin, his soft black hair, and his beautiful plump red lips. He was beautiful. He was his.

Damon stared back at Klaus smiling softly as he ran his hand up and down Klaus's shirt. Not taking his hands off him, making sure he was real.

Damon looked up to see Klaus smiling softly.

"What?" Damon asked softly. Klaus leaned closer to Damon, kissing him on the top of his head. Damon closed his eyes at the feeling of Klaus's soft lips on his skin.

"I was just thinking…" Klaus said with the shake of his head.

Damon tilted his head a bit. "About what?"

Klaus chuckled. "About how much I love you." Klaus replied looking Damon straight in the eye.

Damon's eyes filled with tears after hearing the words again after months of longing.

"I love you too Klaus. Always and forever." Damon whispered as he intertwined both their hands.

Klaus brought their intertwined hands up to his lips, kissing the back of Damon's hand.

"Always and forever."

Damon and Klaus finally reunited! I am so sorry that this chapter took so long to update and that it is shorter then usual. The next chapter will be longer! I don't have a lot of time on my hand these days because of school. Anyways, thank you for reading and reviewing. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
