Chapter 13- Epilogue
Six Months Later
Elena groaned as she stretched out on the hotel bed, her back popping in protest. Beside her Damon flopped down, burying his face in one of the pillows hoping to smother his laughter.
"It's not funny," She grumbled, turned her head to glare at him slightly, "I freaking feel like I'm an old woman, and do you know how wrong it is of me to say that when I'm only 22?" Damon's shoulders shook in silent laughter as she picked up a pillow and chucked it at him in hopes of hitting him with it, her aim horrible since she was still lying down. She swore as the pillow hit the floor and barely touched him. "If I wasn't so damn tired I'd pick that up and then you'd be in for a world of pain." She swore not really meaning it. It was the afternoon before their last night on tour and Elena and Damon both felt it in every bone of their body. Touring for nine months was more than a little grueling and as far as Elena was concerned if she never had to do it again it would be too soon. She smiled softly as she looked over at Damon again, scooting over with only her body until she could press a soft kiss to his shoulder.
They had been together since the fight in her parent's house- and while things were far from perfect- they were too much alike a fought more often than she cared to think about- she wouldn't change a second of any of it for anything...for the first time in a really long time she was actually happy and didn't fear that it would be ripped away from her at any second. Damon smiled and turned enough so that he could press his lips firmly to hers, only swearing softly when there was a knock on the door.
"Cosa vuoi!" Damon yelled out as Elena laughed softly, pressing a kiss to the skin just under his ear, "Go away!"
"You better not be all over my sister again!" Came back the angry sounding yell of one Jeremy Gilbert. Elena snorted softly before she started laughing even harder. Ever since he had walked in on the two of them back at their house he had been giving both of them hell- Elena because he was a younger brother and that's what younger siblings do and Damon because he simply didn't like him. Damon smirked, this evil looking smirk before he grabbed Elena's hand and drug her to her feet, Elena moaning in protest as her body, which had just started to relax yelled at her for moving. "Seriously dude I can hear you, knock it off!" He screeched making Elena roll her eyes. Stalking over to the door she pulled off the chain and flung the door open as Jeremy swore and reached up to cover his eyes on instinct.
"I'm not naked dumbass." She snapped her hands on her hips. Slowly the fingers over his eyes parted to make sure she was completely dressed before he finally deemed it okay and dropped his hands, "Now what do you want, I know that it really bugs you that I'm with Damon now but seriously, the interrupting us ever time that we go to have sex is really getting annoying." Jeremy blanched when the word sex was mentioned, his skin taking on a sickly green color.
"Meredith is here, she wants to see all of us on stage." He finally answered, squeezing his eyes shut, "And if you could never mention yourself and sex in the same sentence again it will be too soon." Elena smirked and decided that since he was going to be a major cock block to her then she would torture him with it at every possible chance.
"Your mean like 'holy shit kinky sex with Damon is amazing.'" She mocked snickering as Jeremy visibly flinched.
"Yes!" He cried fighting back his gag reflex. Elena burst out laughing as from the room Damon called out.
"That's how your sister sounded last night." Jeremy stuttered something about needing to get back to Meredith and made a run for it down the hall, not that Elena blamed him. For all the hell that she gave him, he was really only 17 and she knew how she would have acted in his shoes. Snickering she walked back into the room and pushed the door closed behind her.
"Now where were we?" She questioned as she climbed onto the bed, her legs straddling Damon's thighs. Damon smirked as he reached up and wrapped his hand in her long chocolate curls, drawing her down for a deep kiss.'
"About right here." He murmured against her lips.

Several hours later found Damon on stage, his palms sweaty and his vision impaired from the glare of the stage lights. He laughed slightly as he leaned a little closer to the mic, but not before he cast a glance towards the side of the stage where Elena stood waiting, a smile gracing her lips. He had already fought with Stefan about what he was going to do, but af far as he was concerned, it was something that needed to happen and he had told his brother just that.
"This next one," He began with a soft chuckle, "Is for someone that is very, very special to me... and she knows who she is." Clearing his throat he cast one more look over at the wings before he started the song, the rich tenor of his voice sending shivers up and down Elena's spine- it always was a turn on when a man could sing.
Let me be the one to call you baby all the time
Surely you can take some comfort knowing that your mine
Just hold me tight, stay by my side
And let me be the one to call you baby all the time
I found my place, in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you,
Would you smother me?
Let me be the one who never leaves you all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feelings that I'm on my own,
Hold me to tight, stay by my side
And let me be the one to call you baby all the time.
Elena gasped softly as he sang, her bottom lip in between her teeth as she chewed softly on her lip. She swallowed as he drew the song to a close, her breath catching in her throat as he looked over at her for a final time, the corner of his lips curling up into a smile. "And now I have a very important question to ask this woman who means everything to me..." Elena sucked in a shard breath, her lungs demanding that she breathe- Her and Damon hadn't told anyone really except for their band members that they were together, wanting to keep it out of the tabloids and wanting to make sure that their relationship stayed between them and not between them and everyone else in the world as well, "Elena love, come out here." Swallowing she walked out onto the stage, for the first time in her life feeling anxious, nervous and strange on a stage. When she got to his side he reached down and took her hand in his, pressing a kiss to her knuckles before he handed off his guitar to Ric and dropped to one knee. Elena gasped, her free hand rushing up to cover her mouth as Damon smirked at her. "Elena Gilbert...will you marry me?" She wanted to protest, wanted to remind him that they hadn't been together long that they fought all the time and that they- blushing slightly she let out a slow breath before nodding- to hell with everything else, fuck everyone that was against it. Her and Damon had been through hell to be with each other and she would be damned if she let anything stop it. Smiling she pulled him to his feet before lifting up onto her toes and pressing her lips firmly into his.
"yes!" She murmured against his lips, her arms curling up around his neck, "Forever and for always yes."
