Something to Daydream About

meeting him

The first time I ever met Damon was an accident.

My phone kept going to Elena's voicemail. Again and again, I would call, and she wouldn't respond.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. If she wasn't going to answer and ruin her precious time with Stefan, then I would have to interrupt. I couldn't wait, I needed to talk to her it was important.

I grabbed my bag and hung it from my shoulder and started walking to Stefan's house. I'd never been inside, only outside as we picked him up or things like that. So I knew where I was going... hopefully

I panted heavily as I reached the front door. Why did he have to live on a hill I said, thinking to myself as I brought my hand up to knock on the door.

I knocked once, and the door opened slightly, "Elena?" I call out stepping one foot inside as I look around. This place was huge... Stefan must have some rich parents although he hasn't mentioned any family to me.

I call out again. "Stefan? Elena?" I walk into what I can only assume to be the living room as I heard the front door slam shut. I jump and quickly look behind me and clutch my chest. I sigh and feel relieved as I see it is just the wind, I go to laugh, and as I turn back around, I am met with a man I have never seen before.

I jump back again. "Oh my God! I am so sorry! I thought this was Stefan's house. I didn't know anyone else would be here!" I say quickly, feeling so embarrassed about trespassing.

"You have nothing to be sorry about," He says with a smirk on his face. His voice was so heavenly, deep, and mysterious. "Where are my manners?" he continues. "My name is Damon, I'm Stefan's older brother." he reaches a hand out for me to shake.

"Oh, Stefan never said he had a brother," I say, reaching my hand out to meet his, just as I did he brought my hand to his mouth and kissed the top of my hand gently. This guy is so handsome, I thought to myself as I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"My name is Y/N, im Elena's cousin." I smile gently at him, unable to look into his eyes for very long without getting flustered. "I thought she would be here. That's why I so rudely entered without knocking more, " I say, embarrassed as I let out small laugh.

"Don't be silly Y/N you are welcome anytime you want." I loved the way my name sounded coming from his lips. I shake that thought from my head, but is he flirting with me? no way, I'm just reading too much into it. "Thank you, Damon."

He still hasn't dropped my hand as we look at each other a little too long. He looks behind me, and I hear Elena speak, "Y/N?" I quickly let go of his hand and turned around to face Elena, who had a confused look on her face and her taller boyfriend Stefan, who looked like he was burning daggers into Damon.

"Oh, there you guys are!" I say, trying to break the tension in the room. "I was looking for you, Elena... you weren't answering my calls or texts." Elena grabs her phone out of her pocket and holds it up in the air. "Sorry it died." she says with a sorry look on her face "Why what's up?" she questions me.

"I just really needed to talk to you about something-" I say, trailing off, realising Stefan and Damon were still here listening to us. Elena gestures for me to come with her. "Come on, I'll take you home, and we can talk." She says bye to Stefan and kisses his cheek."I'll call you later." she smiles at him.

I look at Damon and say a quick but quiet "thank you." I smile at him before heading past Stefan and following Elena out of the door.

"You shouldn't have followed me here Y/N" Elena says as she rushes me to the car. "What- why?" I question her. We get into her car and buckle our seatbelts in. I hear her sigh and rest her head on the steering wheel. "Because Y/N... Damon isn't a good person. It's a good thing Stefan and I came when we did." She says worriedly, looking into my eyes. "I didn't even know Stefan had a brother, I say, looking out of the window." waiting for her response.

"Stefan only told me recently, not many details... but just that he's a bad person and to stay away from him." She starts the car and pulls out of the driveway. "They have issues they never worked out, and he says Damon is trying to make him pay for past mistakes."

"That sounds like only one side of the story," I say quietly. "Yes, but you know Stefan, what reason do we have not to trust him?" she questions me, keeping her eyes on the road.

"I guess you're right." I say back thinking back to moments ago when I was looking into Damon's eyes, and he was holding my hand. I wouldn't tell Elena that part. She might kill me. I smile at the memory and gaze out of the window for the rest of the quiet drive.

EXTRA - (what Damon and Stefan talked about when the girls left)
Damon's POV

As Y/N smiles at me before hurriedly making her exit with Elena, I can't help but think about how much she intrigues me. I can feel my brothers eyes bore into me as I roll my eyes and make my way over to my bourbon. "What Stefan?" I say, annoyed.

"What?" Stefan repeats."What do you think, Damon!?" he runs his hands through his hair as I down a glass. "she came inside without knocking. What was I supposed to do ignore her?" I say as I sit on the couch holding my glass, swirling it around. "Not my fault you don't tell people I exist"

"I don't know Damon, you could have done anything other then grab her hand? what were you doing before I walked in" he says angrily. "Stefan, always so annoying" I get up and make myself another glass "I just introduced myself we were alone no longer than 5 minutes, I was just being a good host" I smirked at him.

Stefan scoffs, "Stay away from Y/N." he says as he walks upstairs to his room. I roll my eyes as I take another sip of my drink thinking about Y/N. I don't think I will I say, quietly smiling.
