: you and damon have been best friends forever, you cant remember a time where you spent a whole year without him. Tonight is Elena's 18th birthday and You, Damon, Stefan and Alaric aren't allowed to party with the humans what happens when its just you and damon?

There had been times in my friendship with Damon where I felt uneasy, on edge. Not because he made me feel uncomfortable or out of place but because after centuries of knowing each other there had been no sexual tension, no feelings or 'i love you' , nothing.

Damon and I have been friends for almost 200 years and the most heartfelt thing we have done for each other is saving each others lives from any threat, whether it be mikaelsons, werewolves or even humans on vervain.

Tonight was Elena's 18th birthday so Care threw a party in the Salvatore house full of horny, drunk and emo teenagers. Elena was already drunk and the party had only started an hour ago, Stefan, Alaric, Damon and I decided to sit out the front by ourselves considering we were the only 'old' people at the party.

Alaric had gone inside to check on Bonnie, Care and Elena to see if they were still alive, breathing and not in bed with random hot boys. So now it was just Stefan, Damon and I who were outside drinking ourselves away.

"you would think being a vampire we wouldn't get drunk" Stefan slurred "you've drunken 3 whole bottles Stefan" I say looking at him shaking his head and Damon chuckles at his younger brother, Stefan gets up and walks inside to continue to party and I stay outside with Damon.

"how about you? how are you feeling?" I smile watching the ice in my drink melt "teensy bit off the edge" he says connecting his fingers together only leaving a small gap "teensy bit?" I ask him laughing and he nods "tiny lil bit" he continues sitting down on the driveway only to lay down.

It had been years since Damon and I had been drunk together laying down in the middle of the road, at night. "Those stars look like you" Damon said trying to contain his laughter "how?" I ask him genuinely "they are ugly" he says letting out a loud cackle like an old woman "oh relax you might end up attracting the wolves" I chuckle along with him.

"how long have I known you y/n" Damon asks "going on 197 years Damon" I smile turning my head to face him as he continued to stare at the stars "and you've always been by my side longer than anyone including Stefan" he paused taking a deep breath in.

I guess I have, Damon and Stefan weren't always together and I was always there when Stefan wasn't and even when he was. I was there when Damon fell in love with Katherine, when he first met Elena and when he first went on a ripper binge.

"I suppose I have" I smile admiring his angelic eyes, with a bottle in his hand he points at the stars again "they are like me and you and then there is Stefan" he paused, Damon went all sentimental when he was drunk.

He always talks about Love, Katherine, Family and Death. He usually talked about how Katherine let him down, how he waited for centuries for her return and when she finally did return she wasn't the girl he fell in love with, she was nothing like her at all.

"You see that big cluster is everyone else in the party and those two lonesome stars are best buddies away from the crowd enjoying some fresh air" he said with a smile, I turn my head to look at the stars and he was right "enjoying each others company" the words fell out of my mouth.

I never really knew if Damon enjoyed my company but I never really cared because without me it was basically like he had no humanity... or so Elena liked to put it.

"they are getting further and further from the crowd" I say pointing out the two moving stars "because they are in their own world, two drunken idiots" he laughs sitting up to drink what was left of his bottle, he look down at me still laying on the ground.

"you're so beautiful y/n" he looked gone, so drunk that he didnt know what he was saying "Oh you're that drunk" I roll my eyes sitting back "I'm serious y/n, have you ever wondered why I act differently when you're not around or maybe why your the only person I can stand being around all the time" his eyes pierced my soul, they were frozen staring at me and only me.

"because you miss my jokes" I nudge him softly "because I miss you" he says quietly "because I miss your off-key singing and your terrible jokes but mainly because I miss you keeping me sane, keeping me safe" he says raising his hand and placing it on my cheek.

Pushing any strands of hair out of my face "I miss when you smile and how your freckles smile along with you" he snickers, I couldn't speak. I was speechless.

I didn't know what to say, I mean he clearly had a thing for Elena it was so obvious but I've never heard anything untrue come out of Damon's mouth when he was intoxicated "What are you two idiots doing in the middle of the road join the party" Stefan yells and I turn around to face him "be there in a minute" I yell back.

I get up slowly dusting off my backside "maybe you should lay off the alcohol" I smile kissing his cheek, removing the bottle out of his hand and he follows me inside to the party.
