Snippet: Damon/Diane (next doppelganger)
So, folks: I had a conversation with dear kwritten during which I started madly shipping Damon/Next Doppelganger. This is a snippet of a fic. That is all.
She's only 16 when Elena turns her. Fucking 16. And Elena calls him. Of all people. Take care of her, okay. I have to sort some things out. Caroline's - she did something - I can't talk about it. I can't take her with me. You understand, right? Damon? Please? You'll take care of her, will you? And all in a phone call.
He takes the first available plane to New York. (What else is there?)
He hates her the second he sees her. (Loves her. Loves her the second he sees her.)
You're Damon Salvatore, right?
One and only. (At your service, always.)
Diane. Nice to meet you.
He moves as if he'll kiss her hand.
Stops.
(He did that with the last doppelganger, and what good did that bring him?)
Silence.
I only heard good things about you, she says.
Silence.
Silence is the state of their relationship. (That is the cruel, harsh reality. In his head, they have no relationship. He's the babysitter and she's just a young petulant vampire that he tries to ignore most of the time.)
What are you doing?
Reading.
What?
Is it important?
No, I guess.
Silence.
Why won't you ever talk to me?
(You remind me of your ancestors. I want to fuck you and have you bite me and never see you again and never stop touching you. I want to kiss you and kill you, maybe not in that order.)
I talk to you enough.
You're still in love with Elena. Or was it Katherine?
You've learned your history well.
Just a little Damon Salvatore 101 I had with Elena.
What did she tell you?
That you loved her once.
Silence.
