"Happy Birthday, Damon!" - A Delena One-Shot

It was 4 A.M. and Damon was sleeping soundly next to me. I, on the other hand, was wide awake and excited. Today was Damon's birthday! He didn't know that I knew when his birthday was because he refused to tell me himself. He had said that there was no use celebrating his birthday because he had been around for so long. Of course, I was not okay with that. He's my boyfriend, and I love him so much, and we're celebrating his birthday whether he likes it or not. So when Damon brushed it off like no big deal, I had immediately called Stefan to get it out of him.

"Stefan!" I shouted excitedly over the phone.

"Elena, hey, what's going on?" Stefan sounded quite bored compared to me.

"I need you to tell me when Damon's birthday is. He refuses to tell me, but I'm not okay with that."

Stefan chuckled on the other end, "Did you know Damon used to throw a fit if anyone forgot his birthday?"

"Really?" I laughed, "I knew he liked to celebrate! Well, he's definitely not getting away this year."

"It's June 18th, Elena. Listen, if you need any help with the planning, Caroline's already getting excited. You're on speaker."

I laughed, "Okay, Care I need you to plan a small surprise party. Small, okay?" I made sure I emphasized that. I didn't want every Tom, Dick, and Harry in Mystic Falls showing up because I knew Damon wouldn't like that.

Anyway, after Stefan and Caroline had agreed to help, the plan was to have the party at Caroline's place so Damon would have no idea. And now, here I was at 4 A.M. on his birthday feeling all jittery and excited as I lay next to him. Stefan texted me yesterday saying he wasn't even going to call Damon to wish him just to make the surprise even bigger. He wanted Damon to think that he had forgotten. I thought it was a great idea, but Damon wasn't going to be all pouty because his Elena would be taking care of him all day. I couldn't wait to see the surprise on his face when he realized that I was fully aware of his birthday.

I didn't want to wake Damon just yet. The last thing I wanted was a cranky Damon on his birthday, so I decided that I'd give him the best wake-up call of his life. I hopped out of bed and changed into a set of lacy black lingerie. I would have worn a robe for now but it was so hot these past few days that I really didn't need to. I smiled to myself as I imagined Damon coming downstairs to find me cooking pancakes in lingerie. I realized I was biting my lip imagining how he'd snake his arms around my waist and whisper into my ear before lifting me up on the counter and kissing me fiercely, how he'd run his big, soft hands up and down by warm skin, how he'd tell me that he wanted to make love to me on the kitchen counter, and how I'd let him do whatever he wanted. I had to stop thinking these things because if my desire for him continued to build, I would have to wake him up right now.

A couple of hours later, the pancakes were made, and I was sitting at the kitchen table doing a crossword. It was 6 in the morning, and I figured now would be a decent time to make all of Damon's fantasies about me come true. A low chuckle escaped my lips before I dashed upstairs. Damon was still sleeping but I heard him whisper my name as he dreamt. That was enough for me to slip under the covers with him and call him softly, "Oh, Damon?"

"Mmm," Damon responded, his eyes still closed as he shifted closer to me.

Words weren't going to do it. Damon was a rather physical person...

I climbed on top of him gently. His head was turned to the side still but that was okay. I started at his waistline and began planting quick kisses all the way up to his neck. I saw his lips twitch slightly as he started to smile.
