Through pain comes love

Why did you leave?

Damon woke up feeling strangely warm, he slowly opened his eyes, when he came face to face with Klaus his eyes widened in shock, it was strange seeing Klaus look this peaceful, the cold look that was usually set on his face was no longer there.

Damon lay there for a few minutes unable to look away from the sleeping Klaus, he finally realised what he was doing and looked away, he tried to move but the arm around his waist only tightened "don't leave" Klaus muttered snuggling into Damon.

"I won't, I promise" he replied running his fingers through Klaus's hair when he realised that he was still asleep. Klaus let out a content sigh and relaxed again, when Damon was sure he was asleep he moved again successfully getting out of the bed this time.

He pulled on his pants, socks and shoes before trying to find his shirt, his eyes scanned the room looking for his shirt but he couldn't find it, he silently walked over to Klaus's draws and pulled out one of his shirts, he slipped it on and did up the buttons before walking out the room, he cast one last look at Klaus before walking away.

When Klaus woke up the other side of the bed was still warm but there was no longer a body there, he remembered perfectly well what happened the night before, but he couldn't get rid of the hurt he felt at the realisation that Damon walked out on him.

Damon walked through his front door to find Elena sat in front of the fire waiting for him, "thank god you're home I was worr- wait is that Klaus's shirt?" She asked looking at the shirt in disgust "how do you know what his shirt looks like?" He asked looking hurt by the fact that Klaus would lower his standards enough to sleep with Elena.

Elena looked back at him with tears forming in her eyes, "how could you think I would sleep with someone as evil as him?" She asked trying to hold the tears back, "well you've slept with everyone else" he bit out angrily.

After he said that the tears finally fell from her eyes carrying with them a hundred emotions, Damon sighed and walked out of the house leaving a broken Elena behind.

On his way to the Grill Damon ran into Rick shocking both of them "you look pale" Rick said looking worried, "it's nothing let's get a drink" Damon said walking into the grill and sitting down at the bar.

He sat down at the bar and bought a bottle of bourbon he downed it quickly then realised how dizzy he was, he placed a hand on his head trying to stop the dizziness, Rick watched him worriedly.

"What's wrong with your neck?" Rick asked pulling Damon's collar down slightly exposing more skin, "you have a werewolf bite" Rick said quickly "that's impos-" but he didn't finish thinking about the previous night with Klaus "I have to go" Damon said standing up and walking out.

He made the journey to Klaus's home quickly, when he got there he tried raising a fist to knock on the door but couldn't raise his arm, "what's wrong?" Asked Klaus appearing out of no where, "you bastard, you bit me" Damon exclaimed in pain. Damon no longer have the energy to stand fell into Klaus.

Klaus looked closely at Damon's neck, his eyes widened when he saw the bite "I need your blood" Damon said coughing up blood "you left me" Klaus said pissed but he didn't let go of Damon "do you really wanna talk about this now?" Damon asked in pain "yeah I do, you promised you wouldn't leave but you left me."

Damon looks at Klaus with a questioning gaze "when did I say...." he says in exhaustion and completely weakness, before he could say anything he passed out in Klaus's arms,"I guess this will have to wait till later then luv."

Klaus wraps Damon's arm around his shoulder
Dragging him inside, he lays him down on the couch moving the strand of hair out off his face, Klaus bites open his wrist then lays it upon Damon lips letting his blood seep into his mouth.

Klaus lifts Damon's upper body then sits down behind him, letting Damon rest against him, Klaus didn't say anything he just sat there waiting for Damon to wake up.

A few hours later Damon jerked awake, Klaus just watched him as Damon looked around figuring out where he was "you bit me" Damon said looking behind him and finding Klaus, "by accident" replied Klaus.

Damon looked at him with a skeptical look not really believing him, "if I wanted you dead why would I give you my blood?" He asked looking back at Damon, "true" replied Damon, "now your awake I wanna know why you walked out" Klaus said with a serious look and a cold voice.

"Cause I don't like you," Damon said teasingly "you've got what you want you can leave now" replied Klaus by now Damon was standing and Klaus looked uncomfortable which was strange.

Damon sighed then sat down again "I was scared" Damon replied surprisingly honest he took a small breath before continuing "I don't want to like you, people always leave me so I left you before you could leave me" Damon explained "if I asked you to not leave me why would I leave you?" Klaus asked, "you were awake?" Damon asked already knowing the answer.

"Perfect hearing, heightened senses I'm gonna feel it when you move" Klaus replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world Damon blinked then replied "I didn't think of that," Klaus looked at Damon with a surprisingly fond expression, Damon looked away embarrassed by having a look like that directed at him, "if you keep looking at me like that I might actually think you care" Damon spoke not looking at Klaus.

"You can stay if you want," Klaus said softly "before I stay I wanna know something" replied Damon finally looking back at Klaus with a serious expression, "okay?" Klaus replied cocking his head to the side confused "did you sleep with Elena?" Damon asked bluntly.

The confused look on Klaus's face was replaced with a glare "I wouldn't sleep with someone like her" he replied disgusted "then how does she know what your shirt looks like?" Damon questioned, "she came snooping around my house trying to find something that could be used as a weakness" he replied.

Damon nodded his head, they just stared at each other for a few minutes "you should rest" Klaus pointed out "yeah I should get going, they'll probably be wondering where I am" replied Damon turning his back on Klaus "do you want your own shirt back first?" Klaus asked.

Damon just nodded following Klaus when he stood up and started walking up the stairs, he walked down the hall towards his own room "are you just trying to get me to bed again?" Damon asked playfully, Klaus didn't say anything he just carried on walking.

They walked into Klaus's room and Klaus picked up a shirt from the end of the bed "this is yours" Klaus finally spoke handing Damon his shirt, Damon started unbuttoning the shirt he was wearing, when he finished he took it off and handed it to Klaus.

He took his shirt back from Klaus and slipped it back on not bothering to button it, Klaus let his eyes travel up and down Damon's body not even trying to hide what he was feeling "you should go" Klaus said looking at Damon's face "yeah I should" he replied not moving.

"You can stay if you want," Klaus said after a few minutes when he realised that Damon wasn't going to move, Damon didn't say anything he just took off his shoes and his shirt then climbed into the older man's bed.

"I take it your staying" Klaus said looking at the younger man, once again Damon didn't reply he just moved a bit and pulled the covers closer falling asleep quickly, "good night little raven" Klaus said walking over to Damon and kissing his head gently "I'm expecting a date before you try to sleep with me again" Damon replied quietly.

Klaus chuckled gently "okay" he replied with a small gentle smile gracing his features.
