It is only when the light fades that our eyes truly see. So tell me, what do you see in the dark? Bro @CorruptHumanity

Solo - The Brother I Couldn't Lose
@CorruptHumanity

The boarding house had never been this quiet.

I'd spent years complaining about the place being too damn quiet when Stefan wasn't around.

@OfMrGold And I was suddenly very curious to find out what kind of trouble I'd just wandered into.

[Damon Salvatore @BeyondTheRaven]

@OfMrGold "Besides questionable decorating choices and answers to questions nobody asked."

The grin remained, but my eyes stayed watchful.

Because whatever this place was, and whoever this man was, I had the distinct feeling I hadn't walked through that door by accident.

@CorruptHumanity Then, because I was still me, I added quietly.

"And if you tell anyone I just had an emotionally honest moment, I'll deny the entire thing and blame the bourbon."

My smirk returned.

"Obviously."

[Damon Salvatore @BeyondTheRaven]

@CorruptHumanity "I got so used to thinking I didn't deserve it that eventually I stopped recognizing what it looked like."

I looked at him again.

"Every time I got close to something good, I found a way to screw it up. Push someone away. Pick a fight. Make the wrong choice."

[Damon Salvatore @BeyondTheRaven]

@CorruptHumanity "And for the record?"

My eyes held his.

"I don't need you to make me happy. But I need you here."

I tapped my glass lightly against his.

"There's a difference."

I leaned back into the chair, letting the silence settle without trying to fill it this time.
