When boredom threatened to kill the mood Elena challenged Damon to a race in Need For Speed which resulted in Elena glorious victory and Damon's pathetic failure. "Ha!" she exclaimed happily. "I knew I'd beat you!" "Just because I wasn't allowed to use my perfect vampire reflexes," he reminded her grumpily. "It only confirms what I've been telling you over and over again. 'Practice your humanity'." "So I can beat you to a video game?" he mocked. "Ri-iiight," she began but was interrupted by Damon who lunged at her and tickled her. Elena squeaked and tried to move away. However she hadn't much room to escape to. They were sitting on the couch next to Jeremy and when Elena tried to escape Damon's assault she bumped into her brother. "Helloooo, I'm trying to sit here!" he snapped. "Sorry," Elena said and moved back to her original position, closer to Damon who was smirking at her. Both of them were out of breath from fooling around. "No, it's okay," Jeremy replied, turned off the TV and got up to turn of the PlayStation as well. "I'll go to bed. Just keep it on but don't wake the neighbors." He smirked at them and easily avoided the pillow Elena threw at him. "Night, guys." "Night, Jer." "Night," Damon murmured. He looked down at Elena who was snuggled up to him with her head resting on his shoulder, smiling at him. "And what are we gonna do now?" he asked her cockily. "Nothing whatsoever you have in mind," she answered. "I'm tired." "Then you should go to bed." "I'm too tired to walk. Will you–" "Carry you?" Damon finished the sentence for her. "No way. Get up, c'mon." Reluctantly Elena got up. Damon followed her into the hallway but stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "What's wrong?" Elena asked yawning. "Jenna comes home," he told her and in an instant he was at the door to open it. Jenna was surprised to Damon as she didn't know Elena and him had reconciled. "What are you doing here?" she asked him sternly. "We talked about it," Elena told her from the stairs. "It's just a misunderstanding. Alaric suspected Damon because he had seen him with her before but Damon didn't kill her." "That's what he told you." "No, it's the truth. I didn't kill her," Damon affirmed. "I'm going to talk to Saltzman first thing in the morning." "Hmpf. I can't tell 'cause I wasn't there but listen carefully to me, young man. If you ever hurt Elena–" "He won't!" Elena called down. "Could you drop it, please, Jenna? It's kinda embarrassing. I trust Damon. Period." "Well, it's your decision. I'm just saying," Jenna replied, taking off her coat. "You're not gonna regret letting me stick around your niece," Damon promised her. "I'll leave now. Good night, Jenna." He looked up to Elena who was still standing on the stairs and winked at her. "Good night, Elena." "Good night, Damon," she said smirking. Damon turned around and left. Elena's gaze met Jenna's and she hurried upstairs. She couldn't stand to have another conversation about Damon. She entered her bedroom and grabbed the top and shorts she always slept in. Then she walked into the bathroom which Jeremy was just leaving. He was doing the funny eye thing Damon always did at her. She smacked him playfully and entered the bathroom. Twenty minutes later Damon was lying on her bed, cuddling her teddy bear. "You sure take long," he told her as she closed the door. "I'm a girl," she reminded him and dropped her clothes on the chair. "True, he said and continued tugging at the stuffed animal. "Stop assaulting my bear," she giggled as she crawled onto the bed, snatched it from him and started cuddling it herself "Means something to you, doesn't it?" Damon asked. "Yes," Elena answered, leaning against the headboard. "It's a gift from my father… I mean, my adoptive father," she quickly corrected herself. Damon who sensed her change of mood, took her hand and squeezed it. "He's your father, Elena. Not the man you don't know. You're parents are the people who raised you, not the people who gave you up." "I haven't gone to the graveyard for a long time," Elena realized. "Shall we go tomorrow night?" Damon offered grinning. "I love graveyards." "As much as I do, I know. It was the first time we met, remember? You crowed at me. "Just to make you leave. There was fog, remember? A vampire picked you to be his snack," Damon reminded her. "By the way how did you find out?" "Oh, please, Damon. I'm not stupid," Elena said. "First I see a crow flying into your house and when I turn around you're standing in front of me. I can put two and two together." "You're smarter than I thought," Damon teased and she smacked him. He grinned and spotted her cell phone on the bedside table. "Not that I care… but have you called your boyfriend yet?" "Oh!" Elena exclaimed. "I totally forgot!" She reached for the phone just when it started ringing. She glanced at the display. "Stefan." She answered his call. "Hey." Thanks to his vampire senses Damon could listen to their totally needless conversation. "Hey, I asked Damon to tell you to call me. I guess he didn't deliver the message, huh?" "Yes, he did but I totally forgot about it. Damon keeps me preoccupied with other things." "Be careful with your choice of words, Elena. He might stake me!" Damon said dramatically. Elena laughed and continued talking to Stefan on the phone. "Sorry that was a little vague. He's getting on my nerves as usual. So what's up?" "I just wanted to know how your doing knowing the truth now." "I'm doing okay, I guess. I'd probably break down but you and Damon really keep me going. I love you." "Me too?" Damon asked hopefully. "Shut up, Damon." "I love you, too. Just call me when Damon gets unbearable." "I will," she promised over Damon's 'You never witnessed me being unbearable!' "Good night, Stefan." "Good night, Elena." Elena hung up and put her phone on the bedside table. Then she turned back to Damon who was looking at her with puppy eyes. "What?" "Can we do this snuggle thing that we are always doing now? I really enjoyed that last time," he said smirking. Elena chuckled. "You're unbelievable." She snuggled up to him and rested her hand on his chest, her arm around his waist. Damon put his arm around her waist and rested his head against hers, sniffing her hair. "Good night, Damon." "Good night, Elena." Elena thought she must have fallen asleep because when she opened her eyes again Damon wasn't lying next to her anymore. She searched the room and found him at the window, staring outside, deeply lost in thoughts. Elena knew why. He was probably looking for Katherine. He was so occupied with her that he didn't even notice that Elena was awake. Elena felt a pang in her heart as she realized that. Somehow it hurt to know that Damon still loved Katherine so much after all he found out about her. Sighing she turned back on him. That made him finally notice her. He turned around. "You're awake. Sorry, I was just–" "I know what you were doing. Just shut up and go," Elena cut him off, not even trying to keep the sadness out of her voice. "What?" Elena straightened up and faced him. "Are you deaf? Go to hell!" "What did I do? Why are you suddenly so angry?" Damon demanded confused. "Anna was right. You're such an idiot!" Damon stared at her for a second before realization dawned on him. "Katherine? I was just–" "You were just looking if you could find her down there on the street! I'm not dumb, Damon!" "You're jealous again. I told you–" "This has nothing to do with jealousy!" Elena shouted, completely forgetting that Jenna and Jeremy could hear her. "How can you be so stupid and look for her after all she's done?!" Damon was getting angry now. First because he didn't think Elena's accusations were justified and secondly because it was none of her business. "Why do you even care? This is none of your business!" Damon shot back. "Go back to sleep." "Leave first." "Why?!" "We're all inside the house. Katherine can't harm us now. Leave, Damon, I mean it." "Fine," Damon said. "I'll leave but don't call me and beg me to come back." "Trust me, I won't," she spat. Damon shot her one last glare and then he left through the open window. Suddenly the bedroom door opened and Jenna and Jeremy appeared. They looked sleepy but also irritated. "God, what are you shouting at four in the morning?" Jeremy groaned. "You didn't only wake us but the neighbors as well," Jenna said. "I'm sorry," Elena replied. "Damon and I were fighting… again." "So we noticed," Jenna said. "What was he doing here at a time like this?" "Irritating me." "Not only you," Jeremy mumbled and walked back into his bedroom. "Elena, I think you know that–" "I know, Jenna. It won't happen again," Elena interrupted her. "Just go back to sleep, okay? I'd like to be alone now." "I will. Good night, Elena." "Good night, Jenna." Jenna left and closed the door after her. Elena grabbed her phone and sent Stefan a text. Please come over. It took Stefan less than five minutes to come over. He entered her bedroom through the window, walked over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. Elena hugged him back and rested her head on his shoulder. "What did he do now?" Stefan sighed. "He is an idiot." Stefan let go of her and looked at her questioningly. "He stood there at the window and searched the street for Katherine." "Well, he's been searching for her for the last 145 years. He wouldn't stop now that she's here," Stefan said. "But she hurt him so much," Elena insisted. "How can he still want to be with her?" "He's in love, Elena." "He's blinded by love," Elena corrected. "Either way, it's non of you're business to begin with–" "I know," Elena cut him off. "I realize I shouldn't care but I do. I don't want him to get hurt." "I know you care about him." "This has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy," Elena snapped. "Damon's my friend, that's why I don't want him to get hurt. And he will if he chases after Katherine again." "But there's no use. Why are you trying to save him, Elena?" Stefan asked shaking his head. "It's my thing, okay?" Elena replied sharply. "I care. And I don't want my friends to get hurt. And I want to save them." Stefan sighed. "You're really too good to him. But there's nothing you can do. It's Damon's decision. And if he wants to try to get back together with Katherine he will." "I know." Elena sighed. Stefan stroked her cheek gently. "You should go back to sleep. Tomorrow is another day." "I hope you're right," Elena said and lay back down. Stefan lay down beside her and she snuggled up to him. "Good night, Elena." "Good night, Stefan." Outside on the street Damon had been listening to every word of their conversation. He was happy that Elena cared so much about him but it also irritated him slightly. He didn't need her to act like his patron saint. He could take care of himself. And her concern that he might fall in love with Katherine again was completely needless. He didn't want to get back together with her. He just wanted some answers. Well, that was what his mind was telling him whereas his heart was telling him something else entirely. He scanned the area. Katherine's presence was gone. She didn't have any reason to stay now that everyone was safe inside the house and protected by two vampires. He realized that his plan not to let Katherine know that Elena was involved with both of them backfired the moment Elena had called Stefan to comfort her. He also knew that they would pay for that. Katherine had received some important information with that she could harm all three of them. He looked up to Elena's window. He sure needed some answers but he didn't need them tonight.
