The Vampire Diaries Imagines

[36] Wounds - Damon Salvatore

I breathed in a sharp breath as i accidentally knocked my arm as i was cleaning my wound. "you're no Meredith" Damon said sauntering into the bathroom. "no i'm not but i don't want to keep asking her round here every time i get injured!" i snapped back at Damon. "you know, one little sip of magic vampire blood and that would disappear" Damon said and i just glared at him. "here" He said, walking over to me and grabbing the antiseptic out of my hand and i frowned. "you're doing it wrong" he said and i chuckled "do you have a degree in medicine that i'm unaware of?" i questioned him and he smirked at me. "i wouldn't trust you as my doctor" i continued and he placed his hand on his heart. "you've pierced my cold dead heart with your comment" Damon said dramatically and i smiled slightly. I winced as my arm began to sting as Damon dabbed at it with a some wipes. "i think you've actually still got some wood stuck in there" he said poking around until i jumped up in pain. "am i the only one finding the fact i was the only non vampire there yet i was the only one to get stabbed with wood" i said and chuckled slightly as Damon nodded, but he was evidently concentrating. "this may hurt a little but it'll be quick" he said calmly and softly which was unusual for him. I nodded, bracing myself. I let out a small yelp before biting down on my lip to stop myself from crying out. Tears brewed in my eyes as Damon managed to get the piece of wood out and place it on the sink top. "there, you should heal quicker now" he said and i nodded. Damon looked up at me about to say something but he stopped when he saw the tear run down my cheek. He wiped it away with his thumb as he looked down at me sadly. "you've been through a lot more than this, what's wrong?" Damon asked me quietly and i shook my head. "it's just been a very long day in a very long week, i'm just tired" i said, trying to shake it off but he wasn't having any of it. "it's okay to feel a bit emotional after today, you were kidnapped, held hostage only for them to get to Stefan and I" Damon said, placing his hand on the side of my face again. "damon" i warned him quietly and he shook his head. "i'm not going to hide this anymore, not for Stefan's or Elena's sake's" Damon said and i shook my head. "she's my best friend Damon, i can't . . . they don't trust you" i said and he smiled. "i don't care, i only care if you trust me" Damon said looking at me longingly. "i trust you Damon" i said breathlessly and he smiled softly before leaning down and kissing me gently. I leaned into the kiss more, wrapping my arm around his neck. He placed his hand on my waist when i flinched in pain. He pulled back and frowned at me. "just a small bruise" i said nervously but Damon saw right through me. He shook his head, lifting up the side of my shirt briefly. He saw the huge bruise, emitting deep blood reds, purples and blacks. "this is serious!" Damon said to me mildly angrily. "how did you get this?" Damon asked me and i shook my head. "tell me!" he demanded again. "when i was laying down on the floor, one of the guys kicked me in the rips with his boot before applying pressure to my ribcage . . . i'm pretty sure i felt one or two break" i said as it was only apparent to me now how much i ached. The adrenaline had all warned off and i was feeling more and more tired. "can i go to sleep, i'm exhausted" i muttered tiredly, rubbing my eyes and holding my hand over my mouth as i yawned. "i can't have you being in this much pain all evening, every time you breath it must hurt" Damon said and i nodded. "please, just have some of my blood, i want to make the pain go away for you" Damon said and i looked into his sad eyes. I nodded hesitantly before Damon slowly bit down on his wrist. "you're just encouraging me to become a vampire now" i muttered before i had some of his blood. Almost as soon as it touched my throat, i began to feel better. I could feel everything healing and the aching disappear. Although, the tiredness and the slight emotional trauma was still there. "thank you" i said to him as i walked over to his bed and got under neath the covers. "i just need a quick nap" i said softly as my head hit the pillow and i closed my eyes. I felt the bed dip next to me and Damon brought his hand to my cheek. He kisses me on the forehead and before i could understand what he was muttering, i fell asleep.
