You know, sometimes when I say "Do your worst," I mean it as a figure of speech, and not literally "please, rip out my heart and serve it to me on a silver platter ( ... )

But I liiiiiiiike ripping your heart out and serving it to you on a plaaaatterrrrr. We both know this and still you tempt me. ;)

(Never.)

1) are very "physical" in a completely non-sexual way, they take comfort from another person's physical present and innocent touchPreach, okay. Amen. Other religious confirmations. I love this for exactly those reasons. They are more than just about sexuality; they are about intimacy on a level that is leagues apart from the pleasure of sex. They are about comfort, and that was about comfort, relief, and assurance. Ugh, and she holds his hand, and he does take that opportunity, that 'okay' from her to touch, as a way to channel all of that emotion into that one, allowed, innocent touch. He loves her, and she's alive. UGH ( ... )

See, this is the absolute core for me that they are in love, from this time last year, and then intensified in season 4. Their mutual inability to stop touching each other, in any way that has a shred of plausible deniability.

But I wouldn't say it was non-sexual exactly, more like supra-sexual. It's about sexual and emotional attraction involuntarily being discharged to stop it from exploding, different from but often nestled alongside arousal. Tiny repeated jolts. And involuntary is the key, the awareness, the pleasure (guilty or not) only arises after each unconscious act.

And that's why I'm hooked.

You don't even know what to do with your hands unless you're touching them.

And also because you don't really know what to say? It's very hard to find words to express something, and even harder to make those words sound honest. Easier to just stroke someone's cheek or take their hand.

I'd say it is non-sexual? In a sense that this touch isn't about pleasure, it's about comfort, connection, and, as you say, inability to stop touching. IDK, it's mostly a theoretical description, because Elena and Damon have tons of sexual tension aside from the innocent, platonic hand-holding ;). I guess what I'm trying to say is that some people prefer to express emotions in words, and some prefer to use touch instead. It's a personal thing, like being right- or left-handed. And Elena and Damon both prefer touch in most cases.

Apparently I love the women who hurt me ;(.

UGH.

He can't let her say those things, and hold his hand, and look at him like that.

YES. Because it has to be real. But also because he can't live up to her expectations. He can't be her "savior", he can't accept this role. This boy has a radar, I swear: "Expectations, brb gotta fuck up!".
