"She's never going to love you," Klaus said out of anger "I know, I know she won't love me but I'm in love with her" Damon replied just as angry "then why sleep with someone who doesn't love you?" Klaus asked sadly "because it's the closest thing I can get to her" Damon replied quietly "why can't you see there's someone who loves you and wants to be with you right here?" Klaus asked.
Damon stood there shocked "I never thought that I would like you the way I do, I always stood by and tried to help you the best I could, but I can't do that anymore I like you too much" Klaus continued "Damon give me a chance to show you that I'm better for you."
Damon still didn't speak he just stared at Klaus, "how long?" was the first thing, Damon asked "high school" Klaus replied simply "why didn't you say anything before?" Damon asked "because you were always so caught up with Elena and her drama" Klaus replied.
"if you give me a chance, I'll give you one night only, for your eyes only," Klaus said holding out his hand to Damon, Damon looked at the outstretched hand conflicted if he took it then how could he say he was in love with Elena, but if he didn't he'd stay like this forever having Elena always picking someone else over him, him always being hurt.
"Tonight then" he replied taking the offered hand, Klaus smiled slightly and pulled Damon along with him, they walked for 10 minutes before they made it to their destination when they got there Damon stood staring in shock "you brought me to a waterfall" Damon stated in front of them was waterfall that fell into a small but deep pond, tall green trees grew around the waterfall the light from the moon reflected in the pond "it's not the waterfall we're here for, it's what's behind it" Klaus replied once again pulling Damon along.
They walked down a small path that led to a small entrance that led into a cave that was behind the waterfall when they entered the cave Damon looked at it once again shocked, on the floor of the cave was a thick black and red checkered blanket, on it lay a picnic basket and in the corner was a small wireless speaker that was already playing a slow song, "Klaus, what is all of this?" Damon asked still confused "I told you I was going to show you a side of me that is only for your eyes" Klaus replied "I mean how did you know I was going to come with you" Damon replied "because I can read you better than anyone else, you love her but you want to know what it would be like to be the best friend that has silently loved you for years" Klaus replied with a confident smile.
Damon stood there not knowing what to say "what would you of done if I hadn't of come with you?" Damon asked eventually "I would've gone home and then packed and joined my siblings in New Orleans" Klaus replied easily, Damon just looked at him then he sighed, Klaus walked towards the blanket then he sat down pulling Damon down with him still not letting go of Damon's hand.
"Why would you leave?" Damon asked "for the same reason you were going to leave when Elena picked Stefan" Klaus replied looking at Damon and for the first time Damon met his gaze "I can't believe I really didn't notice," Damon said more to himself than Klaus "gotta say I hid it pretty well" Klaus said with a mixture of pride and sadness "you should've told as soon as you realised" Damon said annoyed "what was I going to say 'hey Damon I know I'm your bestfriend and your in love with someone else but I have feelings for you and I want you to be mine' yeah that would've gone down great" Klaus replied sarcastically.
Damon sighed and Klaus lay down "I didn't know what to do, I thought it was better to try and help you rather than burden you with my feelings," Klaus said softly, Damon after sighing also laid down, "how did you know you.......liked me like that?" Damon asked pausing for a moment "I knew I like the first time Elena cheated, you came to me without a second thought and you looked so broken I knew I never wanted to see you like that ever again and I remember thinking to myself that I just wanted to myself that I just wanted to protect you in some weird way. I didn't want to see you like that again" Klaus said softly.
Damon lay there trying to absorb all the new information "you know in high school when I said I was going to leave because of Elena" Damon paused then continued "I lied, the real reason why I wanted to leave was because someone told me you slept with Hayley they also said that she was pregnant. I wasn't comfortable with the way I felt back then so I said everything I felt was for Elena, I like to think that I was trying to help the both of us but that isn't true the truth is I was just running away and in the end I ended up hurting the both us and for that I'm sorry" Damon confessed turning his to look at Klaus.
Klaus after hearing Damon's confession turned his head leaving barely an inch between their lips "Damon" Klaus spoke softly looking at Damon "I just wish you would've of told me it killed me seeing you get hurt by her time and time again" he finished, Damon leaned forward closing the little space between them, he poured everything he was feeling into the kiss hoping that Klaus would feel everything that he was trying to convey.
When they finally pulled away Klaus rested his head on Damon's, "I don't want to see this side of you for one night only" Damon said smiling softly "you'll see for more nights to come, but remember it's for your eyes only" Klaus said grinning widely, Damon grinned back, Klaus brought their entwined hands close to his face and kissed Damon's knuckles, "I love you" Klaus said softly "I love you too" Damon said still grinning.
There you go, guys, my last chapter I really hope you enjoyed it and I'm sorry that isn't going to be another one but I thank you for all the support I've gotten for this and I have really enjoyed my time writing this pairing but unfortunately, I've lost all inspiration for them which really upsets me.
