Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 29

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Damon took Elena's hand and led her over to the huge bath tub in his bathroom as Elena began to take in her surroundings. The bedroom and bathroom both looked amazing. He'd set a path of rose petals from his bedroom door until it forked and on path led to the bed and one path led to the bath tub, which was surrounded by a stand which had previously contained the ice bucket and champagne. Damon let go of Elena's hand as they got to the bath.

"You wait there." he grinned as he vamp-sped over to the bedside dresser and grabbed the ice bucket which now contained the bottle of champagne. He placed the two glasses inside and picked up the bowl of strawberries and vamp-sped back to bathroom and placed the bucket in the stand and the strawberries on a little shelf next to the bath, where Elena suddenly noticed a bowl containing pieces of chocolate.

Looking in the bath itself, there were rose petals floating around and the delicious aroma of vanilla wafting in the air. Damon put his hand into the half empty bath check the water was still hot, and turned the faucet on just for whilst placing some bubble bath under the faucet and grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"What?" Elena asked, eyeing Damon suspiciously.

"You are amazing, and beautiful and I'm the luckiest guy in the world." he said turning off the faucet, standing up and wrapping his arms around Elena's waist, pulling her close to him before placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

"What's this all for?" Elena asked, waving her hands at the bubble bath and champagne.

"I never need an excuse for a bath with champagne, at any time of the day." he told her as he stepped in the bath and holding out his hand for Elena to join him. "Plus, I've had a really crappy weekend." he smiled as Elena took Damon's hand who stepped in the bath to join him, as he sat down and Elena sat between his legs, her back to his chest. Damon poured them both a glass of champagne and offered her some chocolate as they both took a piece.

"You like chocolate?" Elena asked lazily.

"I have a very sweet tooth." Damon laughed as Elena turned her head to look at Damon who had his fangs elongated, prompting Elena to laugh with him.

"This is nice." Elena sighed. "Just you and me, nobody to interfere. Do you think there will ever be a time when it's just the two of us? You know, without there being some major catastrophe or someone hunting us?" she asked.

"For longer than a week?" Damon asked. "Nope. Can't see it." he joked. "But it means the time we get together alone is even more precious and important and we should always make the best of it and make it special." he added, kissing the side of her head.

"Is that why you went to all of this effort?" she asked. "To make it special?" Elena turned her head to look up at him.

"And because I love you." Damon whispered. "And to me that is something worth celebrating every day the we can, of our lives together. Even if it is for all eternity." he said, looking at Elena lovingly, prompting her to kiss him, before turning back and lacing her fingers through his.

"So what's our next move?" Elena asked. "Leave the cure with Katherine?"

"Personally, I'd like to take that cure and force it down Klaus's throat." Damon admitted. "Although admittedly, having it would give us a lot of leverage." he said.

"We could also see if Bonnie could find a way to replicate it." Elena suggested. "She's a descendant of Qetsiyah's family, which means there must be a way to recreate the magic Qetsiyah used to create the original cure. Maybe Bonnie can find a way to cure us both when the time comes for us to want a family." she said.
