Dear Slayer,

There is a vampire lurking about outside the Rice Building. Might want to put a stake through its chest. Keep us all safe?

xoxo,
Damon

[this will be your brother facepalming, Damon]

What are you doing?

[asinsaviour]

What does it look like I'm doing? I'm getting up, close and personal with our slayer.

It's high time one of us had a little chat with her.

[veryemerson]

This isn't SMART. We should be laying low.

[asinsaviour]

You know what they say. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

[veryemerson]

And what if she KILLS you? Do you really want to be THAT close?

[asinsaviour]

Never said anything about vamping out in front of her. [ He's so offended you think his drunk ass will do that, Stefan. Not that approaching this slayer right now isn't going to put him at risk of being staked or decapitated. ]

Also, careful, brother. Wouldn't want anyone to think that you're starting to FEEL again.

[veryemerson]

[honestly, Damon, it wouldn't surprise him]

Considering all I've been through to keep you alive, I'd be really PISSED if you decide to go and get yourself offed.

[and he doesn't care if you just tell him to stop, because he won't. He can't.]

[asinsaviour]

I never asked you to.

WHY do you keep doing that? [ Buffy will really just have to wait. He's vamp speed past her anyways. That should keep her interested. And right now, he's drunk and pissed enough to want answers. ]

[veryemerson]

[it's okay, Buffy can wait.]

Because you're my brother, Damon. Do you really expect me to just let you die if I can stop it?

[asinsaviour]

Yes, because that would have made all of what you're doing right now UNNECESSARY. It would have been so much easier, Stefan. But you had to be STUPID. [ He wouldn't have needed to carry this guilt with him day in and day out. He wouldn't have to owe his brother for his life. He wouldn't have to watch Stefan go through this. And for what? He doesn't deserve to be saved. ]

[veryemerson]

[this so isn't an argument to be having via text message, but whatever. And there's a very long pause, because at this point, he doesn't care what Damon deserves. this is his brother, and he's not going to let him die. ever. not if he can help it or unless he's going down with him.]

Easy isn't always worth it.

[he wasn't going to let him lose himself to the werewolf bite, he wasn't going to let Klaus's hybrids tear him apart, and he would pay whatever consequences that came with that. It's better than knowing he's alone for the rest of eternity.]

[asinsaviour]

[ They could have had this argument face to face if Stefan would come visit his brother at the Rice Building instead of hiding out with the originals all day long everyday since the day he secretly arrived to Arkham. But whatever. Damon doesn't care. ]

You're right. Easy isn't always worth it.

[ And with that, he's going to do something stupid. Like let the vampire slayer know that she's dealing with a vampire. Feel free to stop him, Stefan. ]

[veryemerson]

[DAMNIT DAMON.]
