Damon X Reader

Psycho

It was raining heavily, the sound was peaceful to me just as the grey sky's were comforting. I'd never really been a fan of the bright sky's or the blistering heat, rain gave me an excuse to never leave the house, to just sit and watch the rain wash away everything that was going outside, washing away everything wrong the world. It was a school day but my car is still not working so I sat on the sofa staring of the window, my hair and coat now slightly damp from the rainfall. My checks slightly damp from the tears, my chest heaving slightly after my panic attack. My hands still shook as I twisted my jumper. I need to calm down, I don't want a chain reaction and have another, normally I would skip first period and sit on the cliff edge watching the waves but I couldn't get there without a car.
I was completely and utterly hypnotised by the rain, until I saw a blue car approach my house, you have got to be kidding me.
Stefan approached my house with an umbrella and knocked the door, I opened it before he could go for the last knock of the rhythm.
"Good morning, need a ride?" He smiled graciously, that smile could kill, no wonder every girl in mystic falls would never stop talking about him, I swear one girl knows where he buys his clothes.
"You can come in out of the cold by the way." He wasn't shivering but i was, I needed this door closed and the heating full blast.
"We have 15 minutes to get to school you know." He was hesitating to come in, I walked the kitchen, tea/coffee was needed.
"Stefan Salvatore don't tell me you are a school junkie?" I laughed, as the kettle brewed. He finally stepped into my home and into the kitchen.
"What are you suggesting?" He's caught on to my cunning plan.
"We are not going to school today, that is what I'm suggesting." There was thunder as if for effect for my cunning plan, I jumped and almost dropped my mug full of tea/coffee.
"Really?" He was concerned, he acts as if we've known each other for years and not a few days.
"What happened?" He looked at me up and down, "y/n?" His tone was softer now.
"I'm fine I just don't want to go in today." I stared at my tea/coffee.
"Y/n?" His voice stern and loser as he got closer to me.
"I had a panic attack, it sucks and it drains everything from me. It's like drowning over and over again." He was silent listening, I've suffered with panic even before my parents disappeared but now they are worse, so much worse.
"I know that feeling, come with me." He grabbed my hand gently, I followed him and then stopped.
"I'm not going to school." He grabbed my bag, turned to me and softly spoke
"We are not going to school." It was so childish to not want to go to school but after your body feeling like fire and ice, making you feel your lungs crush school or any social function wasn't an option, so I followed him to his car.
He drove me to the cliffs edge, we sat in the car silent as the cars heater kept us warm.
"You said you know how I feel, so you panic to?" I asked him, Stefan made me feel completely and utterly comforted.
"I drowned a few years ago, it felt like I would never stop drowning even after I was saved, I drowned in my sleep and when I was awake. It never left me." He stared at the harsh winds and grey sky clouding the end of the cliff, no one would know the world ends a couple of feet away, you could fall without realising you were about to.
"How do you deal with it?" I asked, I always wondered how other people deal with their pain.
"I don't but this place helps, that's why I was surprised to see someone else here." He looked at me now. I smiled warmly at him, he was becoming a good friend.
"Me to actually, I always have a feeling to jump, standing at the end of a cliff testing fate." My eyes moved to the door handle, I watched my hand reach for it and I walked out towards the end of the cliff.
"Y/n!" When I turned around I couldn't see Stefan just the fog and mist.
"Stefan?!" I was fully submerged, I heard something snap, I presumed it was a branch, but Stefan didn't respond. I walked back towards the car but it wasn't there. I was surrounded by trees, I'd gone the wrong way. I checked my phone, no signal,
"Stefan!" I screamed but nothing, no response.
"Shit" I sighed, I continued to walk and I could just make out an estate not to far away. I continued to walk to it, maybe then I could get my whereabouts and phone Stefan.
As I got there I realised I recognise this house, this was the back entrance of Stefan's home. I could see through the window the kitchen I sat in yesterday. The day I met Damon, oh god Damon.
"Y/n?" I spin around me and there he was, perfect blue eyes and wet hair from the rain.
"Damon" I smiled at him but I was scared, he unnecessary unnerved me. That dream or reality I have no clue anymore.
"Here take this." He offered my his jacket, it was only when I looked down I realised I didn't have my coat on. I was soaked I'm surprised I wasn't shivering heavily.
"Thank you." He held it open and put it on me, his fingers brushed against my hand and it felt like electricity running up my arm.
"Should I be concerned you're in the woods alone?" I asked him sarcastically, he smirked
"I could ask you the same thing y/n" we began to walk towards the house.
"I was at the cliff with Stefan, I got lost in the fog." I answered honestly, he laughed a little, he didn't look ahead of him while he walked he stared only at me.
"You could have of fallen and isn't it a school day? I was fixing my car in the garage." He points to the open garage door where his car was held.
"Sorry officer but I didn't want to go to school today." I said sarcastically, who was he to question why I wasn't in school.
"Calm down princess, I'm not judging, I'm more surprised. You don't seem the type to ditch." He opened the door and we were finally in the warmth of their home. The fire blazed and I ran for it, I didn't care what Damon thought the cold was reaching my bones. He joined me sitting next to me.
"You know nothing about me." To this he stared at the fire burning.
"I know you are not Elena." To this my heart stopped, my head began to spin, I stood up to fast but I was pointing at him now. My voice shaking as I spoke.
"You-you remember! That wasn't a dream!" He tried to walk towards me now but I was backing away.
"No and I'm deeply sorry I thought you were someone else." His voice was soothing but I didn't buy that act, he was psycho showing up to my house.
"You showed up outside my house at night you think I would forget that! How did you know where I lived! Did you follow me!?" I was angry my fear turned into blind rage.
"Yes to the first and last question, but believe me I thought you were someone I knew." How was he calm? How was he acting like this was normal, mundane or something that was ordinary.
"Are you insane! That's not normal! I have to leave." I was heading for the door and he grabbed me by the arm.
"Y/n please, i don't say this often so you know I mean it when i say I'm sorry." Fuck sorry, I'm in a house with a mad man no matter how beautiful he was.
"Let go of me Damon." I tried to pull away but he wouldn't let go, instead he spun me towards him and stared deep in my eyes.
"I didn't want to do this y/n but I can't lose again, I need you to forget that night, you met me for the first time yesterday and you'll forget this conversation." I was tranced, I can't remember why I was angry.
when I blinked I was standing in the Stefan's home, Damon walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea for me. Maybe I had a wrong impression of him.
"Here, 1 sugar right?" He smiled, something felt off, his knuckles were red with blood but not cuts to prove that it was his.
" yeah, what happened?" I pointed to his hand as he passed me the cup, I put it of the coffee table and inspected his hand.
"I scraped it while fixing the car." Yeah the blue car in the garage but I don't remember there being blood when he walked me inside. Before I could ask and question him the door opened and I let go of his hand.
"Y/n!" It was Stefan he embraced me in a hug, which I didn't realise I needed until his arms were around me.
"Are you okay?" I nodded he searched my eyes and then met Damon leaning on the fireplace.
"y/n I'll drive you home." Stefan was still staring at Damon while he spoke to me.
"Afraid that's not possible little brother, the water has raised and we've been advised to stay off all roads unless absolutely necessary." My back was to Damon but I knew he was smirking because Stefan eyes were staring down Damon with such anger it sent chills down my own spine.
"Then I'll show you to a spare room." His hand rested on my back as we made our way upstairs, I hadn't processed what was happening until I was in a spare room. I was sleeping in Stefan's house and this house was also Damon's, I felt like that statement should scare me but it doesn't it excites me.
