( He's not disappointed, though. )
And I think I have had -- one or two dates that did not end in murder. That I remember. You know how the murders just tend to pile up with us.
no subject
[But he's not serious about it. He glances over at his brother with a frown.]
I don't remember you having a problem with casual.
[His way of trying to poke at what's bothering Damon about this particular casual relationship.]
no subject
( And that leaves him some niggling doubt. )
Besides, even my casual dalliances end in murder.
( Rose. Let's not talk about Andie. )
no subject
So are you not going after it because it's not what you want, or because you're waiting for her to make the next move?
no subject
( And he is not the long distance type, especially when he doesn't know how long a distance they're at. )
no subject
[Because that would be the obvious next step. Maybe it's the fact that Lydia hasn't reached out herself, but at the same time her best friend died, and then didn't and then she wound up on a hunter hit list.
She likely had other priorities. Or maybe she's not feeling it. Either way, Damon's never going to know until he asks.]
no subject
( No. )
no subject
Do you want to know where she stands?
[Because the easiest way to do that is to ask.]
Or is there something else in the middle here?
no subject
( No. It's one thing to talk to Lindsey and have her pry it out of him, it's another to talk to Stefan, former love of Elena's life. )
no subject
[If he has to hazard a guess.]
no subject
( Or, how he'd like it characterized. )
no subject
[A beat.]
And me. But also the Slayers.
no subject
( And how does he know what is actually potential and if she and him really had it.
Yeah, yeah, he hasn't actually asked. )
It didn't feel like potential.
no subject
[Because it seems like it is. But if Stefan is wrong about that, then he'll drop it. For now, at least.]
no subject
( Maybe he held himself back, living in arrested development from a failed, but star-crossed relationship. He'd lashed out in the worst ways when it first hadn't worked with him and Elena, even went so far as to say that clearly human Elena was never meant to be with him. Invoking the sirebond, their toxicity. A few weeks later, and whatever crisis was next, he put his differences aside. But, he never came back from it. )
no subject
Maybe. But the only one holding you back is you, Damon. So ... if it is something you want, maybe that's something you should think about.
no subject
( But, his brother's not wrong and it echoes Lindsey. It takes time. He thought he'd become the person he needed to be for Elena, but it was never that easy. It's hard to believe he stayed devoted to her while she slept for five years.
Maybe that's his problem. Everything underneath Rayna and the Heretics and Sybil. She used Elena as his weakness.
But, Caroline had broken through. Not Elena. Caroline and himself. Forgiving Stefan. )
You know I missed you.
no subject
I missed you too, brother. I'm glad you're here.
