Remember Me

Chapter 3

A cream colored round shaped mug, that was once gripped tightly in Elena’s hand shattered into pieces, warm tea spilling onto the wooden floor the small puddle slowly expanding as the seconds ticked by, brown eyes twitched as she took in the scene before her.

Damon and Kol, we’re sprawled out on the black leather couch in the living room a blanket thrown carelessly over their midsection, a roaring fire giving them a certain indescribable glow. Light blue eye’s we’re hidden behind closed eye lids as Damon laid his head on Kol’s chest an arm wrapped lazily around the immortal’s waist as he slept fatigue visible on his face clearly exhausted from earlier activities.

Kol’s grip on him was tight and possessive, the message mine became loud and clear as he purred silently in content dropping soft kisses to Damon’s face every once and a while, the sound of the shattering cup tearing his attention away from the unconscious creature in his arms for a moment fangs tickled threateningly against his gums. Before he recognized the still twitching figure on the other side of the room he relaxed before turning his body slightly and giving the doppelganger a sly smirk.

“Hello Elena” his words seemed to bring the teen out of her shocked state, Elena blinked before shaking her head to clear her mind, her eyes narrowing dangerously at him if looks could kill “hello Kol” she said, before bending over to pick up the fallen shards of the mug. “My, my I didn’t know you had butterfingers that’s a terrible trait for a girl like you” the mocking tone in Kol’s words made Elena want to hurl the shards at him, her free hand itched to clench itself but she fought the urge refusing him that satisfaction.

“Well I’m sorry I’m not perfect” she spoke walking into the kitchen to throw away the shards, and get a towel to wipe up the rest of the mess “oh honey that apology is long overdue” Elena grabbed the towel with an unnecessary amount of force. Bastard the word echoed in her mind for a moment as her gaze drifted toward the knives that rested on the knife rack. Don’t do it Elena she scolded herself he’s just trying to get a rise out of you soon you’ll get the potion and everything will be back to normal.

Dark eyes stared at her in mirth, watching her every movement waiting for to spring some kind of attack, but were slightly disappointed when she came back into the living calm and composed. But could still sense small amounts of her wrath hidden coiling just underneath her skin, “where’s Stefan?”, “oh my brother snuck your fuck buddy away for drinks I’m sure he’s in the midst of seducing him as we speak” Elena shot up from her kneeled position the mess momentarily forgotten.

Her scowl intensified ten fold, “shut the hell up Kol!” she screeched her volume of her voice causing Damon to stir slightly drawing their attention. The oldest Salvatore let out a slight whimper before burying himself further if possible in Kol’s embrace, the soft cries eventually vanishing Jealousy clawed at Elena’s stomach twisting it into tight knots, the moment making her feel not only useless but like she didn’t deserve to see the gentle touches and faint murmur’s of reassurance.

But you already know that don’t you? After all this is the very love you’re trying to destroy, the love you envy yet wouldn’t hesitate to watch and burn, and for what Long lost devotion? Damon looks so happy isn’t that enough for you?

No. The word echoed it wasn’t enough, it’ll never be enough it should be her cuddling with Damon by the fireplace, she should be the one whispering sweet nothing’s into his ear. Those beautiful light blue eyes should be gazing at her with love and devotion not him, a small vibration in her jean pocket brought her from her thoughts she dug into the pocket pulling out her phone the message: It’s done, but I have to go use the spare key under the mat instructions are on the table glaring at her in bold multiple emotions slammed into her at once, happiness, elation but also doubt.

Sheathing the phone back into her pocket, she gave the two vampires her back heading toward the door neither registering the movement; it was too late to back out now. Slowly a smile crawled onto her face.

Soon Damon you will be mine.

Kol purred.

He’s hasn’t been this content, since…well ever shifting slightly a action that was a bit difficult to do due to so little space left on the couch. He pressed his nose against the crown of Damon’s head breathing in the scent of temptation and power, the fragrance making his mouth water.

“Oh Damon you have no idea what you do to me” Kol sighed mostly to himself than to the unconscious beauty that laid on top of him, Damon twitched for a moment but didn’t wake his arm around the original’s waist tightened Kol smiled lifting his hand to trace his lover’s face with his fingers. A possessive growl flowed through his lips as he traced the male’s cupid bow lips the word mine flashed once again in his mind.

“So beautiful” Kol whispered before delivering a kiss to his mate’s closed eye lids, “what did I ever do to deserve you?”, “I should be asking you that” half-lidded barely open eyes gazed up at the immortal in amusement mixed with another emotion Kol couldn’t quite identify. He smiled tiredly although most of the fatigue seemed to have faded due to sleep Kol leaned in pulling Damon into a passionate kiss, his hands exploring the lithe muscles and impossibly soft skin.

“I thought you we’re sleeping” the hand traveled lower brushing past certain spots he knew would send shivers up the other male’s spine, “I-I was” Damon stuttered as fingers began to make love to his lower back “but then I heard you saying how good I am” lips brushed for a split second, before Kol shifted their position so he was straddling his mate’s waist while Damon laid on his back his head dizzy from the sudden movement.

“I may not know what thing I did to deserve you Damon” Kol began his voice barely above a gentle murmur his lips leaving a trail on vampire’s neck, “but I refuse to let you go” Damon’s breath hitched as he kissed a spot behind his ear “do you think you could handle having me around forever?” he asked curiously Kol kissed his collarbone. “Forever and more” with that he began to kiss down his chest.

“When did you turn into such a sap?” the original chuckled “when I met you” if Damon could blush… “Do you think you could handle being around a homicidal unstable vampire forever?” Damon bit his bottom lip they both knew the answer, but both wanted to hear the words a loud “I guess I have to since I’m not going anywhere” Kol paused brown eyes met light blue. “Damon” Kol hissed finally crashing his lips onto Damon’s the force behind the collision causing their teeth to rattle.

His hand combed through the mop of long black hair, tugging lightly on the strains as he poured every emotion he could into the kiss. Love, loyalty, possessiveness along with a unspoken vow of forever, but as he held the one he cared most in his arms Kol couldn’t shake the small whisper that forever would be taken from them.
