You killed him and turned him into a vampire against his will and then got Klaus to compel him into being a double agent for you. I know he didn't start on the right side of things, but that didn't make what you did okay.
[He takes a deep breath.]
All of the control he learned came from Klaus compelling him so once it was broken he had to start over from the beginning. And he's still dealing with all that came with it. So forgive me if I'm a little more sympathetic to his side of things right now.
[That being said.]
At the same time, you and Melanie have your thing, however ill-defined it may be right now, and I want her to be happy. But she's already dealt with a guy being unable to move on from someone else when she was human. If you plan to define this more, she deserves to have you let go of Elena first.
( So, this is a recent sin. His boyfriend? Damon wouldn't have called boyfriend, but he supposes everyone gets to be modern. Maybe killing him helped him. Like Caroline. He discovered his inner Lancelot.
Except, the Klaus part. That was dirty. They needed a trump card. He's not going to apologize for that part. Killing him was rash. He'll give him that.
Also, Damon didn't ask for any of the extra commentary. He actually doesn't care what Wes thinks. He listens. He "owes" him.
Sad he doesn't remember the guy's name, though. "Sad."
And he says Damon's the one who needs therapy. )
Yeah, I - wouldn't have called that. Sorry for uh - taking away his choice. Having him compelled. Making him a double agent. Couldn't have been... easy. Safe. Really, him.
( He makes a face, mouth going slack. Very "my bad." )
I know. Still just - processing. He didn't really scream boyfriendly.
( He completely remembers this conversation a few hours ago and joking about resentment with Melanie. He actually gives this guy a hand for listening to him go on and on. Maybe he is... selfish. )
Anyway. We get out of this, round everybody up, I'll personally call your main squeeze and apologize until the cows come home. I'll even put on my sincere face.
[Wes doesn't feel like stating that he doesn't want Damon apologizing if he doesn't actually mean it, because that just feels like whining. So he shakes his head and starts to step through the door.]

[He tries not to sound frustrated by the fact that he can't remember a conversation they had a few hours ago.]
And I'm not the one you need to apologize to.
