“You know what’s weird? I haven’t seen much of Katherine lately.” Elena would mumble before burying her face into his his chest, it was more comfortable that way. P l u s, he was oddly warm and it was an extremely nice feeling.

Fingertips grazed up and down the mans arm, a soft hum escaping her lips. Elena let her eyes open to glance up at him with a sigh . . she couldn’t help but to worry sometimes. “Do you think that she’s okay?”

Huffing, she would sit up to look at him with a pout resting on her lips. Hands moving to trace the outline of his jaw. “Yeah but, everyone . . hates her. I just feel bad sometimes, for her mental state.”

Leaning in to press a quick kiss to his lips as fingertips continued to graze up and down his features softly. “Did you and Stefan ever . . forgive her for what she did to you guys? She was just trying to survive and it’s just, kinda sad.”

“H e y. You can’t be like that forever. Sometimes it’s easier to forgive and get the hatred out of your heart.” And now those petite fingers were starting to run through the mans dark hair gently. A pout still there. “I had to forgive you for a lot. And here we are now.”

“. . . Damon.” Cue that all too familiar look. The one that she usually gave him when he wasn’t listening or causing t r o u b l e. “You don’t have to physically tell her that you forgive her just, try to. Deep down in your heart. Please?”

Elena knew that there was no use in going back and forth with him so, she fell quiet instead. Moving to lay her head back down onto his chest. Her eyes wandered around the living room and a l l of the chaos that had broken out in there. It was . . interesting to think about.

Head full of brunette hair would shake in protest. Hands resting on his arms comfortably as her gaze stayed straight ahead. “Don’t do it until you’re good and ready to. Not for me but for you.” That was all she really wanted to say about the situation— falling silent again.

“Of course, I’m sure.” Her mind was really just crowded with loads of different things. It all just ran crazy in there. “I love you too. Sorry for bringing her up.”

“I just hate knowing that there’s hate in your heart when I know that you’re capable of forgiving.” A sigh left her lips as she finally decided to drop the subject, leaning up to press a few kisses along his jaw.

And when he fell quiet, then thats when Elena grew worried. The kisses along his jaw stopped with the raise of a brow. “What’s wrong?”

“Because, I thought you were mad at me or something.” She would mumble against his skin before continuing the kisses along his jaw . . trailing down to his neck. Then she s t o p p e d.

Hello, love of my life. This day is for you. I love and appreciate you more than words can say, even when you want to tear into everyone’s throat.

Not even the day that you kidnapped me and took me to a bar? I think that’s one of our best times. But, you’re being overly sweet. I’ll use this time wisely.

How about you put those feet to work and pour me a glass of wine then?

Definitely not true.

Someone seems to have an attitude this morning.

Do you need to talk about it? You know that I’m here.
