Title: Defining Love
Prompt: "But defining love isn't as easy as it used to be."
Author: (ladyknight1512) / (ladyknight_fic)
Rating: PG-13/light M (for some language)
Characters/Pairings: Damon/Elena

Defining love isn't as easy as it used to be. It wasn't so long ago that love equaled sex or blood. Or sex and blood. "Love" was just a word, a synonym for "instant gratification."

Maybe Katherine taught him that, in her own skewed, completely fucked up way. Maybe he learned it on his own as he fed and compelled his way through a century and a half of women.

But if there's one thing he knows for sure nowadays, it's that his life is nothing like it used to be. And "love" has long since stopped meaning anything it used to.

It's all her fault. Elena's. For making him feel, for making him want to feel, not just for her, but for others. For Stefan, for Liz, for Ric, Caroline, Jeremy. Even Bonnie, when he has his moments.

Somehow, she made him stop thinking of love as something that pertained only to himself. Because he loves her. Loves her. And he let her go. For Stefan ( ... )

:) Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I wrote it pretty quickly, but I find sometimes that's the best way to write. ;)

Ouch. I always feel so bad for Damon when it comes to Elena. The way he looks at her and everything she does seems to hurt him even though she doesn't even mean to. Ouch.

Unintentional hurt is certainly one of the worst things about unrequited love. It sucks for both parties.
