Damon Salvatore has never been the subtle brother.

Which is why he's currently laying in Elena Gilbert's bed, holding that stuffed bear of hers. She's doing something with someone somewhere and that's perfectly fine. They haven't really talked since Denver and maybe that's by design. Damon gets it. What happens in Denver... But, he's getting a little antsy so he feels like it's time to pay her a visit. He knows she doesn't love when he does this. The impulse to peek into her diary was great but he curbed that, so she should be grateful. A teenager's medicine cabinet is never interesting to snoop through or pinch from so, that's out of the question. He decides to manipulate the little bear's feet. Better than its no-no place.

He doesn't know if she and Stefan are anything or if they've even talked. He's not going to ask. At this point, it doesn't matter to him. So, they made out up against the wall in a motel with really shoddy lighting, so does everyone.

And of course, he's here in her bed because he doesn't care.

See how that works?

While it's a low blow, it's an honest one. You've successfully silenced him. But, he's still not moving. He could care less about Jeremy Gilbert's approval to be honest. But, he cares about Elena getting her way and being happy. He's taken her choices away a few too many times. She's probably never forgive him if he told her about the time he compelled her. Both times.

"Stefan isn't here."

"No, he's not," she replies softly. It feels like he's here, sitting around them like an elephant in the room, and honestly? Elena doesn't know what she wants yet. She just knows that she has strong feelings for both of them.

She just doesn't know which one is stronger.

"Come to bed?" He gives her his enticing eyebrows. Because, he can't be serious. Feelings aren't serious. Not to him right now. Not when Stefan is a topic at hand.

[braveandstupid]

She sees those enticing eyebrows and shakes her head. "I have homework to do. And you should probably go home."

"I should probably go home or I should definitely go home? I can as quiet as a church mouse," he says, giving her innocent eyes to follow.

[braveandstupid]

She rolls her eyes. "You can definitely go home. I highly doubt that you are capable of being ignorable."

"I see fun Elena won't be making an appearance tonight," he says, getting up from her bed. He uses vampire speed to be right there in front of her. "Something happened in Colorado. Jeremy saw it. Let me know when you decide if it means anything." And, if it doesn't, maybe don't let him know. "Enjoy the homework." And he starts to walk out.

"I never said it didn't mean anything, Damon," she says softly. She knows he can hear her, but she needs to know that he at least heard this before he leaves. "I just don't know what it means."

He stops. He can hear her. He gives her a look back before continuing on. Maybe he has a chance in this after all.
