Something in the Air - Damon Salvatore

Nothing seemed right today. Everything was dull. The sky, the rain, even everyone around you.

You make your way to the Salvatore house, passing the Mystic Grill on your way you stop in for some fries.

Fries are your fave. Nothing could tempt you more than fries.

"Hey Y/N." Matt says as you walk into the restaurant. "Table for one?" He asks you.

"Yeah, thanks Matt." You say just as you do almost everyday.

You follow Matt over to an empty table close enough to the bar. You sit down and hang your bag at the back of your chair.

The wood is cold and it chills the backs of your legs as you rest them on the chair, Matt pulls out his little notebook and a pen for your order.

"The usual then?" He asks you.

"Well of course!" You reply. He then scribbles down a portion of salty french fries that cost $3:50.

As Matt walks away to give the order in to the cooks you notice the offness again. A slight change to the vibe. The hustle and bustle of the grill almost seemed silent and suspicious. Something was definitely in the air.

"Here are you fries. Extra salty, like you like them." Matt days bringing the fries over to you.

He sits down on the chair on the other side of the table.

"I'm on my break." He says. "So what are you up to today?"

You swallow the giant mouthful of french fry you had been chewing to answer his question.

"Thought I'd drop by the Salvatore's place, see what their up to and then-" you get interrupted.

"Oh you don't wanna be in the Salvatore's house today..haha..Damon's in some kind of frenzy." Matt says.

"What do you mean?"

"Elena says he's all over the place, his mood is off, everybody is a target and he's been feeding off of the locals again."

"What the hell.." you say back. Curiosity floods your brain and you think what could be wrong.

"Can I get these boxed up?" You ask straight away.

"For sure." Matt says picking up the fries.

Maybe it's time for that visit to the Salvatore's.

****

You walk up to the big door at the front of the old Salvatore Boarding House and knock.

The rainy atmosphere gives you a chill up your spine as you wait for someone to open the door.

"Y/N! Hey!" Stefan says opening the door.  "Come in!"

"Hey Stefan. Thought I'd drop by for a visit! See how you guys are doing in this big house!" You say to him, subtly referring to Damon.

"Elena and I were just going to meet up at the grill, your welcome to join if-" you cut him off.

"Where's Damon?"

"He's in his room, but he's not in the best of moo-" you cut him off again.

"Thanks for the offer but I think I'll go and see what Damon's doing." You say quickly.

"Okay, Y/N. Have fun." He says almost sarcastically as he walk out of the house and shuts the door behind him.

"I will." You say as Stefan leaves.

The house is quiet and almost peaceful. You make your way to Damon's bedroom. You've never been inside before, Damon is always so private about anything that makes him human despite his witty attitude.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Go away Stefan." You hear from inside the room.

"It's Y/N." You yell back.

You hear quick footsteps from inside the bedroom and the door suddenly flies open.

You're faced by a shirtless Damon with tousled bed-head hair and tired eyes.

"Hey." He says.

"Hey." You reply.

Damon opens the door and gestures for you to enter. The room is as you thought. Big and bold.

He stands in front of you awkwardly not sure what to say. You decide to instantly demolish the elephant in the room.

"So..what is up with you? Everyone's talking about you if you haven't already noticed and everyone's worried about you, well I'm worried about you and-"

"Y/N. If you shut up I would tell you." Damon jumps in.

You look at him with an 'okay then' look and he takes a deep breath.

"So there's this girl... I'm insane about her and I'm not sure if she likes me back. She's amazing and I cannot get over her, trust me I've tried, and I guess I need to know.." he bursts out with.

"Need to know what?" You say.

You've never seen this side of Damon. The side of love and actual affection towards someone else.

"I need to know if the girl loves me the way that I'm in love with her." Damon finally spits out.

"May I ask who the girl is?" You ask him quietly while oblivious to what will happen next.

"You. You, Y/N. Do you love me the way I love you?" Damon says.

You're breathless. How could you have not known about this? About this pining and affection. How? These are not the important questions though. The important question is, do you feel the same way?

You guess you've never thought of this before. Never even thought it was a possibility. Damon. In love with you? It was practically insane. Was it?

Damon walks over to you getting closer with each step until you can just about feel his cold breath on your face.

"Damon.." you whisper, not sure about his confession yet.

"Shhh.." he whispers back to you in your ear.

The sensation makes you feel ready. Ready for something new and bold and completely unrealistic. Something passionate and something utterly and completely real.

He leans into your face and you don't stop him. Closer and closer until your lips finally touch. The electricity pulses through your veins and the want grows stronger. You've never felt anything like this before, and you want more.

Your hands wander up to Damon's hair and to the back of his neck as the passion continues. You couldn't think about anything else in this moment other than the slight feeling of offness you felt earlier. It's all gone now. The subtle discomfort in the air is gone.  What was the reason for this feeling? You can't decide, but whatever it was it won't come back. So long as Damon is by your side.
