thank you to my amazing beta Kitty.
"When I find him he's so dead." Damon stated straight to the point as he grabbed his car keys and Aiden's cell phone and opened the front door.
"Do you even know where he is?" Elena asked.
"Well that girl he met, Siena texted him an address. I'm going to start there." He answered, the disapproval radiating from him.
"Just don't rough him up too bad. I want him brought home. I'm letting you take the reins on this one because apparently simply grounding him isn't going to work." She sighed.
"I won't physically harm him no matter how badly I want to. At this point in time I am seriously regretting promising we would never compel them. Damn vervain." Damon said shrugging into his jacket.
"Are you coming straight home?" She asked standing in the open doorway.
"Not right away. Apparently my son and I need to have a talk about the rebellious attitude he's adopted today." He grumbled.
"It's better you talk to him. You're his dad." Elena agreed.
"But I'm terrible at conversations such as that. I have many of the same problems." He argued.
"You had many of the same problems as he did. It only took you 170-ish years to sort them out. You'll do fine. If you have to yell, yell. Maybe that's all that will get through to him. He's been so good for so long, I don't know what's gotten into him." Elena sighed.
"I don't know, but I better go. I'll be home later." Damon said walking out.
"I'll wait here. Maybe he'll come home before you find him." Elena suggested.
"Is everything alright?" Aurora asked coming downstairs clad in a comfortable pair of flannel pyjamas.
"Your brother snuck out. Your dad is going out to look for him." Elena said walking into the living room and sitting down on the couch.
"Oh, um... are they going to be gone for a while?" Aurora asked.
"Probably, why? Is there something on your mind?" Elena asked her teenage daughter.
"Kind of, it's just some things I've been thinking about for a little while." She said sitting down on the couch and wringing her hands.
"Sweetheart, you're my daughter, I'm your mother. You can talk to me about anything." Elena said turning to her daughter.
"I know that. It's just really... awkward." She whispered, trying to find the appropriate word.
"What is it?" Elena asked.
"Can I ask you about sex?" She asked casting her gaze down to an apparently fascinating spot on her flannel pants.
Damon smirked for a moment when he realized the party Aiden had went to was in an abandoned warehouse. No invitation needed. He opened the door and walked in. There had to be hundreds of teenagers dancing to the music. He could acutely smell drugs, alcohol and sex in the air. He started walking through the party, weaving through the crowds.
"I've never seen you around here before." A clearly drunk girl flirted.
"That would be because I'm not from around here. I'm looking for someone." He stated as he glanced around the party.
"Or you could hang out with me." She suggested with a clearly drunk smile on her face.
"Or not. Not only am I too old for you, by a long shot, but I'm happily married. I'm looking for my son." He told her deciding he could use her help.*I would like to challenge you to not use the word "very" use a better describing word like
"Who's your son, is he as hot as you?" She asked plastering what she clearly thought was a sexy smile on her face.
"He has dark hair, blue eyes and he is probably with a dark haired girl." He explained ignoring the girls flirting.
"Nope, haven't seen him." She said pouting. He walked away and started making a perimeter around the building. It was a huge warehouse, and he wished he could vamp speed around, but there were too many witnesses. Granted most of them were hammered and would never remember this in the morning. He kept walking, his temper flaring up more and more as he searched. If he had one more drunken teenager bump into him or spill their drinks all over his leather jacket he was apt to snap. He focused his hearing but all he could hear were masses of voices. They were all mushed together and he couldn't detect Aiden's. Damon stopped the one sober person he had seen and pulled him to the side.
"Have you seen my son. His name is Aiden Salvatore. He's here with some girl named Siena." Damon asked trying to reign in his temper at least temporarily.
"Uh yeah. Last time I seen him he was heading into one of the storage rooms with Siena." The guy explained.
"Thank you. You are the one helpful person I've been since I walked in here a half hour ago." Damon said.
"Let me guess, he snuck out?" The guy guessed.
"That would be correct. Did you see which one he went into?" He asked
"Sorry. I guess you'll just have to check them all." He said walking away. Damon strode over there quickly and focused his hearing listening for the one recognizable voice. When he heard it he stomped over to it and threw open the door, not caring about his son's privacy at the moment. He wanted it to be as embarrassing as possible.
"Aiden James Salvatore get your ass out of there right fucking now." Damon snarled seeing his son sprawled out on top of Siena.
"Uh dad, you're kind of interrupting. I guess you probably can't tell but I'm inside her." He spoke snarkily.
"I don't care. You have ten seconds before I drag you out of there by your ears." He threatened.
"Ten seconds isn't long enough. I just got started." Aiden argued.
"Five seconds." Damon said counting down.
"I'm not leaving and you can't make me." Aiden said petulantly.
"Wanna bet?" Damon asked raising his eyebrows.
"I won't listen to you." Aiden said as he took to ignoring his dad and went back to pushing in and out of Siena.
"Fuck." Damon cursed. He locked his gaze on Siena's and seen her eyes become unfocused. "You are going to push him off of you right now and get dressed knowing you need to get home. You will not contact Aiden again until he contacts you because he is grounded for life." Damon compelled the girl with a smirk on his face. He stepped back and shut the door wanting to respect the girl's privacy while she dressed.
"What the hell? Siena what are you doing?" Aiden asked somehow not hearing his dad's compulsion.
"I have to go. I need to get home." She said.
"Why?" Aiden asked.
"It's just time to go home." She murmured with a confused look on her face. When she had her dress back on she opened the door and walked out. Aiden pulled his pants and shirt back out and walked out there.
"Did you compel her?" Aiden demanded
"Yep , now get your ass to the car right fucking now. We are having a chat, and you're grounded for life." Damon said pushing him out to the car.
"This is such bullshit." Aiden snarled as he was unceremoniously pushed to the car.
"Uh what do you want to know about sex?" Elena asked completely taken aback at the topic.
"Well we both know my experiences with sex aren't the greatest with what Samuel did to me. I just had a few things I was curious about after hearing other girls talk about it." She stammered.
"What kind of things?" Elena asked.
"I want to know about a girls first time. I want to know what it's supposed to feel like." Aurora hesitated.
"It hurts. My first time was with your dad. Coincidentally that was also the night we conceived you and Aiden. It hurt but he was so careful. Normally a girl's first time is not pleasant nor pleasurable. There can be some bleeding but the pain only lasts a short while. Mine wasn't nearly as bad as some girls because I had your dad." Elena explained.
"Oh. So no matter what my first time would have hurt at least a little bit?" She asked hopefully.
"It would have hurt. But not nearly as bad as what being raped did." Elena assured her.
"Okay, does sex always hurt, or is it all pleasure after the first time?" She asked.
"It's all about the pleasure. But like everything it depends on how often you do it. If you're having sex for hours on end, you might get a bit tender, but typically it doesn't hurt unless he's being purposefully rough. A little pain is often very pleasurable." Elena informed her daughter.
"Oh. Okay this is going to be awkward... what does an orgasm feel like?" She asked her face going deep red.
"It's a feeling of being so out of control but not caring. You tremble and shake; sometimes you see stars or colours behind your eyelids. Your internal muscles flutter. It's like the rest of the world doesn't exist in that moment." Elena replied.
"I heard a girl in my class last year talking about how her boyfriend made her come like five times in a row. Is that possible?" Aurora asked hating how naive she sounded.
"Definitely. I know you don't really want to hear this, but your dad has made me come nearly ten times. My legs were like jello, I couldn't even walk." Elena confessed with a broad smile on her face.
"Oh. So it is possible to get pregnant the first time you have sex?" Aurora asked referring back to a previous comment of her moms.
"Yes. I did. But you don't have to worry. Your first time was with a vampire, so you won't have to worry about anything. Besides its been far too long for that to have been a problem." Elena assured her daughter.
"I knew that. I was just thinking for future reference." Aurora stated.
"Okay. Anything else?" Elena asked pleased to see her daughter was confiding in her.
"Um... you don't have to answer this or explain this. It's just something I overheard at school and you're the only one I could think of asking. I know that guys masturbate, but do girls too?" She asked blushing scarlet.
"Yes they do. It's not something for any girl to be ashamed of. Orgasms take away stress and actually make you healthier." Elena explained smiling.
"Oh. Some girls at school were talking about it. But that's about all the awkwardness I can take for the night. I'm going to read before going to sleep." Aurora muttered.
"Okay dear. Did I answer your questions well enough?" Elena asked.
"Yes you did. Thank you mom." Aurora answered.
"Okay. I wonder if your dad found Aiden." Elena wondered.
"If he did, I wonder if Aiden is still alive." Aurora retorted.
"True. Although he did promise not to physically harm him." Elena noted.
"What the fuck dad? I was having sex." Aiden shouted as Damon drove around.
"I noticed and I don't particularly care. You snuck out." Damon stated.
"Who gives a fuck? I'm almost seventeen years old. I have a life that doesn't surround you and mom." Aiden shouted,
"Look you and I are going to have a talk. A talk we should have had long ago. Believe me, I know that you already know most of this stuff and I don't want to have this conversation any more than you do." Damon said.
"Oh God, are you going to try and have a sex talk with me?" Aiden asked horrified at the possibility.
"Your mom thought it was a good idea, and if your mom thinks it's a good idea, it usually is." Damon explained.
"Well school and general experience have beaten you to it. I don't need this." Aiden practically begged.
"Don't worry I'm not going into the basics. That would be futile. But since you are human, we need to have the protection conversation." Damon told his son who was still staring at him in disbelief.
"No. No we really don't dad." Aiden said.
"Yes we do Aiden. If you can tell me that you were 100% sure you were protected with her tonight, then we don't need to have this conversation." Damon bargained.
"I don't know." Aiden admitted.
"You don't know? Did you have a condom?" He asked wincing at the awkwardness. He had never ever thought he'd ever have to have this conversation in his life. He was a vampire for Christ's sake, he wasn't supposed to have to do this!
"No I didn't. I never thought about it. It just happened and I needed it." Aiden shouted.
"You can't get away with not having protection Aiden. You are human; you can get a girl pregnant. I don't have that problem." Damon explained.
"Well you did or else I wouldn't be here." Aiden snarked.
"Shut up boy." Damon told him.
"Well if I can't have sex, what am I supposed to do?" Aiden asked his eyes wide.
"Are you seriously asking me that?" Damon demanded really not wanting to get into masturbation with his son.
"Yes I am. If I can't have sex with a chick because I'm grounded for life or some dumb shit, what am I supposed to do? I am Aiden Salvatore and I need to be taken out for a ride every once in a while." He grumbled.
"God damn it Aiden, you can deal with it yourself." Damon muttered really hoping he didn't have to spell it out for him.
"Oh my God... ew. Masturbate dad? Really?! That's your big fix everything for me solution?" Aiden demanded wincing.
"Or you could do nothing. How the hell do you think I get through whenever your mom is mad at me." Damon muttered.
"Okay. I don't want to know. I've seen or heard enough in my life to know that your sex life in very active." Aiden murmured.
"Now I need to tell you how important it is that you understand how to treat women." Damon mentioned, relieved to be moving onto a different conversation.
"I know that. I've seen how you treat mom I understand about respect." Aiden shrugged.
"But you can't treat every woman the way I treat your mom. I am flawed, she is the patron saint of all things good and pure. You have to understand that if a girl says no you have to respect that choice." Damon explained choosing his words carefully.
"I know that, but honestly who would say no to this?" He asked gesturing to himself.
"It doesn't matter. If a girl did and she doesn't want to move further then you have to respect that. I lasted months with your mom without going any further. We never made love until our wedding night." Damon confessed.
"Which was also the night she got pregnant with us... yeah yeah I've heard this story before." Aiden shook his head.
"I know. But it's important that you understand that." Damon pressed.
"I know. I understand. So am I grounded?" Aiden inquired hopefully.
"Yes you are. You're grounded for life or until you graduate. I haven't decided yet, and this time your mom isn't going to rescue you. She's just as pissed as I am. Let's go home." Damon stated driving back in the direction of the house.
When they walked into the house Aiden immediately walked upstairs to his room, angry now that he was still grounded. He was hoping that talking with his dad would make him lessen or erase his sentence but no such luck.
"How did it go?" Elena asked glancing at the clock, realizing how late it was. It was nearly 1am and she yawned.
"I am never doing that again. I never want to discuss masturbation with my son ever again." Damon whined.
"Okay. Let's just go to bed. I'm so tired." She yawned again.
"After that conversation I deserve a little something from you." He hinted.
"But I'm tired Damon." She whined.
"I want you Elena." He whined just as good as she did.
"I want sleep." She begged.
"You can sleep when you're dead." He noted as they walked upstairs to their bedroom.
"I already am dead Damon. Please." She begged walking into the bedroom and lay down on her side of the bed.
"Just one. I'll go fast. Please." He begged.
"Not tonight. I just want to go to sleep. If Aiden is still here in the morning and hating us, maybe I'll let you join me in the shower in the morning." She bargained.
"Aiden will be here because he has nowhere to go. I compelled Siena to stay away from him until he contacts her." Damon said smirking at his genius.
"Well..." Elena noted impressed.
"But fine. I accept your terms. Goodnight loving wife of mine." He whispered sliding into bed behind her.
"Goodnight pain in the ass husband of mine. I love you" She whispered back, feeling his arms wrap tight around her. She settled into his embrace and nestled her head against his chest.
"God I hate teenagers." Damon quipped before closing his eyes.
