Stefan was almost too weak to even cry out when Damon and Enzo dragged him through the door of the Salvatore Boarding House. Honestly, Damon would have rather Enzo leaving, but he wasn't giving in. For some reason, he wanted to stick his energy in saving Stefan's life and making him feel better. It had taken some convincing but he got the rest of the gang off his back. Elena was probably the most against leaving Stefan alone with his brother and Enzo.
"Couch," Damon commanded and dragged Stefan there with Enzo's help. Stefan let out a whimper.
"What do we need?" Enzo asked and Damon shrugged a little. He told him to just wait a second. Damon took a gentle hold of Stefan's head and slowly pried his red eyes open with his thumb and pointer finger. Stefan protested heavily and shook his head to avoid Damon's hands.
"Eyedrops, something to sooth his skin, something to clean the wound, fresh bandages," Damon said and Enzo nodded, running off to the pharmacy. Damon sat next to Stefan and gently combed his fingers through the hero hair.
"Damon...? So so hungry..." Stefan groaned out. Damon nodded.
"I know baby bro. As soon as I've fixed you up, I'm gonna get you some high quality dinner."
With that, Enzo came bag with a bag full of all the medicines and remedies, Damon had ordered for. Damon grabbed the eyedrops and sat on the couch with Stefan's head in his lap.
"Open your eyes, Stef. This will make you feel better."
Damon knew that Stefan was trying and that his body was refusing to let him open his eyes, so he mentioned to Enzo to come hold his eyes open, and Enzo did so, gently prying Stefan's eyes open. Tears slipped down Stefan's irritated skin, making him whimper in pain. Damon was quick with the eyedrops. He quickly landed one on the eyeball before Enzo pried the next one open. Stefan quickly shut his eyes when it was over. Damon shushed him, trying to calm Stefan's heavy breathing. Then he grabbed the gel that Enzo had bought for Stefan's skin and he gently spread a thick layer over Stefan's vervain burned skin. Stefan's body was tense and his face was contracted in pain.
When Damon could no longer avoid it, he starting cleaning Stefan's wound as gentle as possible. Stefan's pained gasps made Damon's sight cloud with tears, but Stefan remained still and Damon gave his leg a soothing rub.
Damon wrapped it up in a bandage and then pulled a blanket up around Stefan's shoulder. Stefan looked at him tiredly.
"Thank you..." he whispered. Damon smiled and took Stefan's hand.
"Always, little brother."
