Pairing: Damon/Elena,AU, all human.
Spoilers: NONE
Disclaimer: none of them belong to me at all.
Elena's POV.
I don't know for how long I've been crying, nor for how long my phone has been beeping like crazy. I'm sure its Damon. I'm sure he knows what his father told me and maybe he realized that he was right. Damon is going to turn his back on me and find someone like him and just the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach. Losing my best friend, the only man I've ever loved, because of a bitter coldhearted man like his father.. it wasn't fair.
"Elena open up, I know you're in there."
Damon's voice comes in from behind the door. Aunt Jenna has no clue what the words "I had an argument with Damon," mean.
"Go away, Damon!"
"I'm not going anywhere until you open this damn door!"
"Language!"
"For god's sake Elena open the door. We need to talk!"
"No!"
Silence.
"Fine. If you don't want to talk to me, that's fine. Either way you're gonna have to listen to me."
I wait for him to talk again because I honestly do not have the energy to get up and argue with him. I'm too mentally exhausted.
"I know what my father told you and I know what he said about you being too.. plain. None of it is true. Elena, you're perfect just the way you are! I like you because you're my sweet best friend; the only one who ever gets me, the only one who puts up with me when I'm being a dick. I cannot picture myself without you, Elena. I love you, please open the door!"
He what?
I open the door slowly, his last words sinking in, floating in the air. Or was it me?
"What did you just say?"
"That you're perfect, and..."
"No, the last part."
He smiles sweetly, takes a few steps towards me. His hand are immediately on my face, pushing a single string of hair behind my ear and whispering so close to me that I can smell his aftershave.
"I love you... please open the door."
"You love me?" I repeat and he nods slightly, "Your father said..."
"My father is the biggest asshole to face the earth. He a selfish rat who cannot bare the idea of me being happy, and not being like him of course."
"Damon, I don't want you and your father to fight because of me!"
"We will fight anyway."
"I don't want to get in the way of your relationship with him!"
"We barely have one!"
"I don't want to ruin anything you might have with him."
"Whatever happens between us is already doomed."
"You're risking a lot by doing this."
"I would risk my entire life to be with you. If you take me, of course."
I wrap my arms around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder as tears of joy run freely down my cheeks.
"I've loved you for so long."
"I'm sorry I couldn't see it before, we missed so many years together."
"There's always time to catch up."
He takes my face between his hands, wiping away my tears with his thumbs. His lips barely touch mine and I already feel electricity running down my spine. Our first kiss is everything I've ever dreamed of and more. If this was one of my dreams, I never want to wake up. EVER.
THE END
