"Sharing"
"Because blood sharing is kind of…personal." ~Damon
Elena couldn't believe she was about to take Damon up on his offer yet the smell of his blood was overwhelming…intoxicating. She couldn't deny it anymore and she was getting desperate; she was so hungry.
Damon knew that he shouldn't be offering his blood but she needed it and he couldn't let her suffer because of his brother's delusions. A vampire needed to embrace their bloodlust before they learned to control their cravings; it is how Damon did it and it's something that Stefan had yet to understand. If either of them had a brain, they'd realize that Elena had a better chance at surviving as a vampire while under Damon's teachings.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on that fact and Damon reminded himself of that when he offered his bleeding hand to Elena once again.
He watched as her eyes were flooded with blood while the veins spidered from them. A clear hiss was heard as she revealed her fangs before she sank them into Damon's hand.
He could feel his blood being pulled from his body and while normally, he would be fighting to get away from the thing that was draining his life source, the connection he felt with Elena overrode his primal need to escape.
Elena, on the other hand, felt like she was on cloud nine as Damon's blood spilled into her mouth. She could feel herself getting stronger with every pull of Damon's blood she consumed; the animal blood was like dirt in comparison to this. All she could think about was having more, so much more in fact that she had rendered Damon weak long enough for him to need the wall to support them both (mainly himself though).
He didn't care though. The brief moment of weakness was worth it for Damon if it meant that Elena was getting what she needed. If he had to reduce himself to a walking blood bag so that Elena got the proper blood she needed then so be it. He knew how ironic that was since he's used many people over the years as his living blood bag but he didn't mind placing himself on the other side, not if it meant that Elena would feed from a vein.
As the feeding progressed, Damon encouraged and soothed the new vampire while she fed.
This was the first step in the right direction…on so many levels.

A/N #1: Well there is my take on the moment for Delena…what do you think? I apologize if its a bit rushed but I wrote it a couple of hours after the episode aired. I do truly hope that the blood sharing between them becomes a common thing for Delena *wink*.
