Glowing

"NO MORE PICTURES,"

Damon bellowed as his mother kept pestering him to pose for pictures with his strange relatives. 

"Not even with me?" 

Elena came out from behind Lily and threw her arms around the eldest Salvatore. While pressed close to him she whispered "You look sexy in this cap and gown." 

"If we skip the pictures you can see how sexy I look without them."

"Nope you're not getting out of this, you only graduate once and I want at least one  picture to remember it by," 

"Fine one, to please the three most important woman in my life,"

"Three?"

"You, my mom, and Miranda, she'd be devastated if she didn't get at least one picture of us kissing to rub in your dad's face for the rest of his life, you know how much me touching you bugs him," 

He finally let her down from their long hug, wrapping one arm loosely around her shoulder. 

"Awww I'd die from happiness if I didn't have to stay alive to take the picture,"

Lily cooed, she had always been a big supporter of the two of them, Miranda and her had always had been secretly hoping they would get together. She snapped the picture and smiled, silently asking for one more. 

"I'll give you one last one, mom just because I sat through the whole ceremony to do this,"

He grabbed Elena's waist and pulled one leg of her legs  up into the crook of his arm. He kissed her passionalty while at the same time hoping she didn't fall and crack her head open as he dipped her. 

"Hey come on guys let's keep this PG they're children here."

Stefan said jokingly as he interrupted the kiss between his older brother and Elena. 

"The only child here is you Stefan,"

Damon said grumpily, while wiping Elena's bright red lip stick off his own lips. Elena giggled her cheeks flustered and hair a mess.

 "I just wanted to say congrats brother,"

"Thanks Stef, now that I'm going away I'm going to need you to do something for me. Always look out for this one,"

He said nodding to Elena.

"Always?" Elena questioned.

"I may not always be here for you when you need me,"

"That's not true,"

Elena's POV 

"Yeah I'm holding up Stefan, no I don't need you to come visit but thanks for your call its been pretty hectic and you've always been the calm in the storm. Uh you haven't heard from him have you."

"No, not since he sent me a letter telling me he's in Peru. He's pretty isolated down their. Elena I'm sure he hasn't heard anything. He's okay he'll never know, by the time he decides to try some place this will have all died down," 

It was so hard, asking about him, I had promised myself that the man I had loved died in that car accident that the man who was Stefan's brother simply had the face of the man I loved. But I'm dying to ask if he had moved on married a woman and had a new... baby, if he was happy or if he was sad.
