❰ the implication that however sam thinks elena feels, he feels the same — it's one of those things damon doesn't know what to do with yet, so his only option is to ignore it. sam is his friend, that's not in question — not right now, anyway — so the idea of sam caring about him is one damon has slowly gotten used to, like a frog being slowly boiled in a pot of water. damon is one of sam's boytoys, and damon is used to that idea too, even amused by it — but he's never considered that sam's affection might be more than that, somehow. now that he has, it brings everything in damon's head to a crashing halt for a couple seconds before he can right it all and barrel on, flagging that as not right now.
Not just, maybe. I know I'm pretty, Sam, and I know I make her happy. But no matter what she feels for me, it's never going to hold a candle to what she feels for Stefan. He's like a fucking... a black hole of affection. He sucks it all in and no one can escape his gravitational pull.
there's a sense of warring envy and guilt and hatred and love, all of them wrestling in damon's head and heart for supremacy. the guilt wins out, though, and stefan's adamant you're not dying today rings in his head.
My brother gave up his whole life to save mine. I deserved to die, I was ready for it, and he couldn't let me. Now he's up on the station, human, in a fucking coma, and I'm here, kissing his girlfriend.
