"What are you doing?" Elena asked as she emerged from the bathroom, only to find Damon spread out across her bed in nothing but a pair of silk pajama pants.

"Why, what does it look like I'm doing? Going to sleep. Goodnight Elena," he smirked as he turned on to his side, leaving his back to face Elena.

"Get. Out," she ordered as she grabbed him forcefully, pulling him to the ground in the process.

"Fine," he pouted as he walked out of the room, only to stop suddenly as he poked his head in for one last time, "But, I'll be back."

Elena rolled her eyes as she pulled down the sheets of her bed and climbed in as she waited for Anna to be finished in the bathroom. Almost as if she knew, Anna appeared out of the bathroom and made her way over to the bed as she climbed in as well.

"So," Anna started as she turned towards Elena, flashing a wide smile in the process, "How'd it happen?"

"How'd what happen?" Elena asked as she laid on her back and stared at the ceiling.

"You know, the whole you and Damon Salvatore thing. Everyone expected you and Stefan to stay together for a while. You two really shocked the town, especially with your whole sexy dance at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant," laughed Anna.

"Sexy?" Elena asked, raising an eyebrow in the process.

"Oh please, as if you didn't notice. Even I could feel the sexual tension coming off of the two of you," Anna snickered.

"Sexual tension? Um, I think not. There's no tension between us, especially sexual," laughed Elena.

"I see the way he looks at you, Elena. He wants every ounce of you. A vampire tends to notice these things," Anna replied.

"He can want all he wants, but he won't be getting anything from me," Elena sighed in frustration. She didn't mind Anna, just the poor girl wouldn't let Elena go to sleep.

"You're aggravated with me," Anna smiled as she tilted her head to the side, almost as if she was amused.

"No, but I am trying to sleep," replied Elena.

"My apology. I never really had a get together with another girl besides Mother and Katherine. Mother didn't believe in associating with many humans, and Katherine was way older than me. I never really hung around girls my age," explained Anna.

Anna waited silently for a reply from Elena but got nothing back except the sounds of a human girl sleeping quietly. She sighed silently as she bounced herself back on to her side as she looked out into the darkness from the window near her side of the bed. She sighed as she quietly got out of the bed, being extremely careful not to wake Elena.

Carefully, she opened the door slowly, making sure no unnecessary noise would escape. Thankfully, she managed to open it without a single crack or squeak. As she made her way down the hall, she knew exactly where she was headed to – Jeremy's room.

She smiled as the familiar aroma hit her nose – the smell of teenage cologne with a mixture of Damon's expensive designer cologne. Anna slowly made her way to the side of the bed which occupied Damon as she placed on hand on his shoulder and shook him violently.

"What?" he groaned as he removed his hand from his face and tried to push her away.

"Wake up," she ordered in a low whisper.

"What could you possibly want at," Damon whispered as he turned to look at the alarm clock, "at twelve o' clock at night?"

Anna widened her eyes as she pointed to her sleeping boyfriend. "Obviously, I would enjoy sleeping next to my boyfriend," whispered Anna.

"And I care why?" Damon muttered as he turned his back to her and closed his eyes.

"Elena's all alone in her bed," Anna smirked as she saw Damon sitting up and slowly climbing out of the bed, "Enjoy."

Anna waited until Damon closed the door before jumping in the bed and attacking Jeremy – well not literally attacking him, but close enough. She sat on his stomach as he looked up to see her grinning widely at him before pulling her close and holding her tightly.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come," he whispered.

"You know I can't stay away from you," she smiled before leaning down to kiss the boy beneath her.

Damon smiled down at the sleeping girl known as Elena. Many times during the night when she was with Stefan he'd stop by and visit, just to watch her sleep. She was so peaceful at night while she was asleep – so fragile, and gentle looking. Watching her made him feel as if nothing would go wrong, like nothing ever could go wrong.

She stirred for a moment, causing Damon to catch his breath. He prayed silently that she wouldn't wake up. Thankfully, she rolled over to her side and remained quiet. Carefully, Damon slipped into the bed as he slowly placed one arm around her waist and waited for her reaction. Almost as if she were waiting for him, Elena moved closer to him and relaxed against his hold. Slowly, Damon found his eyes closing before he drifted off back to sleep.

Elena awoke to feel a strong arm wrapped around her. Slowly, she followed the arm up to the face of Damon Salvatore, who just happened to be asleep.

"Wake up," she whispered as she shoved him roughly.

"Again?" he groaned as he whipped his eyes before realizing he was still in Elena's room, "Shit."

"When did you get in here?" she asked.

"When Anna kicked me out of my own bed," he replied sarcastically.

"She's with Jeremy?" Elena shouted, but in a small whisper.

"Apparently if she's not with me, and she's not with you, that'd be the only other place she'd go unless of course, she's with Jenna...which would be a bit strange," smirked Damon.

"Am I the only one not amused by this?" Elena sighed as she removed herself from Damon's grip and headed into the restroom, with Damon following closely behind her.

"I believe you are, kitten," he purred as he placed a small kiss upon her neck. She closed her eyes in pleasure for a moment before removing herself from Damon's grip once again.

"You're no fun," he pouted as he watched her place her hair on top of her head, "Where's the Elena I went to Georgia with?"

"Back in Georgia," she smiled before turning to place a kiss on his cheek, "Maybe you should try playing by the rules once and a while."

"And maybe," Damon growled as he tackled Elena to the bed, sending her falling beneath him, "You should learn how to break them."

Elena found herself soon staring up into the deep blue eyes belonging to no one other than Damon Salvatore. He tilted his head to the right, but just a bit as he observed her emotions. She smiled back at him as he slowly bent his head down, capturing her in a gentle kiss, which soon grew more urgent as the desire set in.

Elena felt as Damon grabbed a hold of her upper thighs, before lifting her up and pushing her back gently, giving him more room to move around. He placed small kisses all around her mouth before returning with an even more urgent kiss than before. Soon, she could feel his hands rubbing along the side of her stomach as he moaned quietly into her mouth. Elena tangled her hand into Damon's hair, gently tugging it, driving him even more crazy.

Then suddenly, she stopped and removed herself before smirking at Damon with a small wink, "That's enough breaking the rules for one day."

Damon smirked to himself as he felt his lips which were still swollen from the kisses he had just shared with Elena. He watched her exit the room before whispering to himself, "So hot."

"You need to be more careful," Elena warned Anna as she entered the kitchen to find Jeremy and Anna sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal, "Aunt Jenna wasn't home this morning, but who's to say she won't be home the next, or the one after that, and so on."

"Elena, relax. We're vampires, we can hear Aunt Jenna from a mile away. We won't get caught," replied Jeremy before returning to his food.

"I'm sorry but wouldn't you rather spend the night with your boyfriend than me?" laughed Anna.

"Of course I would," Elena replied, "Doesn't mean I will."

"Actually," Damon smirked as he entered the room, "You will. As long as Anna keeps sneaking into his room, I'm left without a place to sleep."

"You wouldn't make him sleep on the floor, would you Elena?" giggled Anna.

Elena laughed along with the group. "Just because I'm the only human, doesn't mean you three have to gang up on me."

"So, Elena, pray tell, how do you plan to show us how the Gilberts celebrate Christmas?" Damon asked as he searched the refrigerator for whatever food he could find. He settled for six eggs, before he began his search for the pan to scramble them on.

"You two," Elena smiled as she pointed at the boys, "Are going to help Anna and I put up Christmas decorations."

"Only if you wear antlers," Damon stated.

"I don't even have antlers, Damon," Elena replied.

"Watch this for me," Damon demanded before he broke out into a run. In seconds, he returned as he removed two pairs of reindeer antlers. "One for you my lady, and one for you Jeremy's lady."

Elena held the antlers up as she looked at Damon with raised eyebrows. "I'm not wearing this."

"Oh but you are," smirked Damon.

"What are you going to do? Force me?" Elena laughed.

"Bite you," he said, suddenly serious as his face begin to change a bit, revealing the vampire side of himself.

Elena rolled her eyes as she casually placed the antlers on her head, causing Damon to laugh with a large smile on his face. Anna soon followed the same pattern as the two females rolled their eyes together at their laughing boyfriends.

"So, where are these decorations?" Damon asked, as he removed his eyes from the pan on the stove.

"Well, Anna and I are going to get the ones from the attic down, while you and Jeremy go look for a tree in the forest," answered Elena.

"I get to be with the kid? Perfect," smirked Damon.

"Behave, I'm warning you," she commented.

About an hour later, Damon appeared outside in his leather jacket, along with his usual black outfit. The temperature was dropping quickly causing snow to begin falling. Jeremy quickly caught up to Damon as the two made their way to the large patch of trees.

"You got any neighbors?" Damon asked as he tried to decide which tree would be the best.

"One, sucks, I know," sighed Jeremy as he pointed in the direction of a small wooden house.

"Damn, humans ruin all of the fun," Damon muttered, "So, inform me about which one of these trees would impress Elena."

"She likes them full and large," answered Jeremy.

Damon laughed a loud to himself before casting his usual smirk to Jeremy, "Sounds like something else she likes."

Jeremy made a gagging face as he looked sickened, "Dude, too much info."

"Don't bring it up next time and maybe I wouldn't inform you," laughed Damon.

"Dude, check out that tree over there. Elena would love it," pointed Jeremy.

Damon followed Jeremy's arm to face an extremely tall tree, with many bristles. He smiled to himself as he picked up the large ax and chopped the tree down with one swing.

"So you still never told me how it happened," Anna mentioned.

Currently, she was up in the attic with Elena as they sorted through the Christmas armaments. So far, they had bulbs, lights, stockings, snowflakes, wrapping paper, holy, artificial snow, and decorative beads to wrap around the tree. There was one decoration messing, and Elena seemed to be having trouble finding it – the angel that would sit on top of the tree.

"I don't know. We talked a lot, I guess. Became close, and eventually started discussing the possibilities of us dating," Elena replied as she dug through a large container.

"Stefan must have been destroyed," Anna commented.

"At first he was, but now he's with that Meredith girl. We don't talk as much anymore, she's a little possessive. She's afraid he'll leave her for me or something," stated Elena.

"Damon really loves you. We dated back in our high school years, before Katherine – before Mother was even a vampire. He was a jerk though, same cocky attitude. Thought he could play me, ended on bad terms," laughed Anna.

"Found it!" Elena screamed as she held up a small angel with Christmas lights surrounding her, "Okay, since you're the one with super strength, think you can bring those crates down for me?"

"The joy of being a vampire," smiled Anna as she lifted two large boxes containing the decorations and brought them down as if it were nothing, while Elena managed to struggle with one box, causing Anna to laugh even more than she already was.

"So, about Christmas presents. I think we should go shopping together, you've known Jeremy longer than I have – maybe you can help me pick out something for him. And I'll try and help you with Damon, but you know how he is. All about designer items," Anna stated as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, sounds good. I'll tell Caroline to come too, she needs help with Matt," laughed Elena.

"The blonde?" asked Anna. Together, Elena and her began to pull out the decorations from the containers and separate them along the living room floor.

"That'd be the one," Elena replied as she made her way to the stereo. She inserted a small compact disk which immediately began playing the traditional Christmas songs such as Deck the Halls, Silent Night, and so on.

"She's full of joy, I've noticed," commented Anna.

"She's a bit dingy, but a great friend when you need her," Elena stated, "What's taking the-"

Suddenly, Damon kicked open the door as he walked through the house with the tree dragging behind him. Jeremy walked closely behind the tree, making sure no rocks got caught in the net which was around the tree. Within seconds, by using his vampire speed, Damon had the tree standing straight into the air, waiting to be decorated.

"Oh, Damon, it's perfect," smiled Elena.

"What's this cheesy stuff playing in the background?" Damon asked as he took a seat on the recliner while he watched the girls sort out the items.

"You've never listened to Christmas music?" Elena asked in shock.

"Elena, are you forgetting that I haven't had a permanent residence since 1864?" he smirked, impressed by his cocky remarks.

She sighed before replying. "Do you have to be so saracastic all the time?"

"Yes, but you love it," he winked before placing himself on the floor besides Elena, "So what goes where?"

"The blubs go all over, the lights go completely around the tree as well as the beads and extra decorations, the artifical snow goes sprinkeled all over the fireplace, the stockings go hung on the fire place, the holy goes around the doorway, and the wrapping paper stays with us," explained Elena.

"Sounds easy enough," smiled Damon as he joined Anna and Jeremy in the decorating.

Two hours later, Damon stretched himself across the couch as he let out an exhausted sigh. He'd been decorating for hours although it seemed like days. Originally, he planned to take the easy way out by using his vampire advantages. However, unfortantely for him, Jenna arrived home early, forcing him to act as if he was a normal human.

Elena, on the other hand, enjoyed seeing him try to wrap the tree in lights without speeding around it. Within the seconds, he had himself tangeled deeply in a mess he couldn't get out off without the help of his girlfriend. She spent minutes rolling on the floor from laughing at the many mistakes he had made. He, however, was the one who got the last laugh when he poured an entire bag of artificial snow on top of the small girl's head, which then caused him to fall to the ground laughing. As the four finished decorating the tree, Damon and Jeremy each picked up their girlfriends as both girls held onto a side of the angel and carefully placed it on the tree top together. Once finished, they plugged the wire in as they enjoyed their hard work.

Now, two hours later, Damon found himself sharing the long sofa with Elena while Jeremy and Anna settled for a blanket in front of the fire place. They relaxed as they listened to the soft music playing in the background. Before they knew it, they each found themselves falling asleep in the arms of their significant others.
