DAY 207 (nightish) → open video + private messages.
[ welcome to elena's room. it's filled with things. and boxes. some things are in some boxes. she's thought twice about making this video, and then thought twice about making it public (klaus) but on her second thought, she decided to stop hiding in the network.

for the most part.

she's sitting cross-legged on her bed, mister teddy junior in her lap. ] It's kind of amazing how much stuff can accumulate here after a month. [ wait. ] More than. [ she puts him in the box. ] Books, clothes... [ her eyes look out to the space of her thoughts for a only a split second ] people, memories.

I know a lot of us are all working to find a way home. [ her included. maybe. ] I guess I was wondering why any of you would want to stay.

& private to zatanna zatara

I think we should keep our conversations private for now. Even if it's just something silly. It's not a good idea for you to have Klaus' attention. Even if Rebekah's already told him... [ she swallows. it may be a desperate, scared attempt to protect her... but elena's willing to be that, do that. being a witch might attract klaus' attention too, without her help, but... the thing that gives her more pause at the moment is jeremy, jenna - how she kept things from them to keep them safe, and it hurt them in the end. (she lost jenna entirely.) so. ] Is that okay?

& private to sam winchester

I wanted to thank you. For the other day. When we were at the library. [ yeah that's all she's got. it's not about the kiss, or the embracing, but it's subtext. he was there for her when she needed somebody, and he listened. wanted to. and it's more than that - the understanding, and the things they confessed...

subtext. ]

[ He'd expected the anger being directed at him, but the whole touching his wound thing is making him all slightly confused again. Damon had sucked in a breath the moment her finger grazed his skin. It's only when he glances down at her hand that he realizes he'd been holding his breath. What even. He looks back up at her; meets her gaze and is all too aware that they're standing only inches apart from each other.

It's unfair. The bed, the walls, the desk. Her lips. It's like they're all screaming for attention in his head. He knows it's only what he imagines, but he can't take it. He takes a sudden step back, trips over a box on the floor and lands flat on his back.

Clumsy, clumsy.

Now let's scratch the part where Rebekah sucks because she doesn't. Elena sucks and he hurts. ]

[ she doesn't mean for the air to charge like it does, but maybe it already had been. she feels the intake of his breath, but it doesn't impact her until their eyes meet and she sees what's there. her lips part. it takes a moment, and her gaze drops to his mouth.

if he was looking to ruin the mood...

elena cannot recall a time or place or pretty much ever when damon wasn't a little more graceful than that, so color her shocked. her mouth forms an 'o' as he start to go down. at first she's worried, because hello, nasty wound, but then the amusement takes over her features. ] Oh my god. [ look, she can't help it okay. it's not every day damon salvatore trips and falls on his butt.

she steps around the box and begins to kneel besides him. ] Are you drunk off fairy blood again?

[ This kind of thing has never happened before. Ever. It's humiliating. He lets out a groan and pulls a flattened box of tissues from under his back. She has a habit of leaving things everywhere. He's reminded of that now. Her journal, her sweater, her pen, her books, her shoes... It's scattered all around his apartment and he hasn't made a move to put it away just yet. ]

Oh, don't I wish. [ His cheeks might be all red-ish, but it's so not because he's drunk. Feel free to not notice that b-t-w. Besides, he's pretty sure he's on Sookie's shit list right now. He looks to the side and underneath her bed and lets out a slight grimace. He can't imagine what's under there; doesn't want to. Yes. He's judging your bedroom, Elena. This guy. The one who can't bring himself to get up from one bad fall is doing that in order to avoid looking at her. ]

	[ elena gilbert notices those red spots, but lucky for you damon, she's not going to comment. she does keep her smile, scoff a little, and shake her head at him. she leans towards his side, reaching over help him into a sitting position with her. ] Once I face-planted at the Grill. In front of my parents and my date. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Let me guess. You were six and out on a play date after happy sandbox times at the playground with the quarterback. [ He can imagine her laughing at herself because that's just the kind of fun person Elena is when she's not having to deal with all the crap that surrounds her. And that's what first attracted him to her really. Her laugh. Her smile. The fact she looked like Katherine might have caught his attention, but it wasn't what made him stay interested.

Damon doesn't laugh, but she does. And that's enough somehow. ]

I was sixteen, and drunk, and I was with Matt. [ and caroline and tyler and bonnie probably, but semantics. he's right; she was a fun person back then. everything seemed so simple, so small. there's a wistfulness in her voice as she dryly recounts the story. the kind of wistfulness you might feel for somebody you used to know. ] I had to act like I was choking because it was the first time I drank that much. But my father was a doctor. [ so... that failed. she exhales. her expression sobers. that girl is gone.

she wants to say something. do something. she doesn't know what. she's sitting on the floor with damon, telling him about the past, when... elena knows what it feels like to have someone's presence scattered everywhere, in more ways than one. ] I wasn't angry because you did something stupid. I was angry because... I care what happens when you do it. [ for everyone else. for him too. ] Because I care why you would do it in the first place.
