Summary: It's a game to him, just like everything else, and Elena doesn't understand the rules.
Author's Note: For
fiddlings.
He does it intentionally, passing so close to her that his movement causes her hair to flutter a little. It's always quick and she usually wonders if she imagined the feel of Damon's fingertips dancing along her arm. But when he settles, there's always a devilish grin on his face that makes her gut churn.
It's a game to him, just like everything else, and Elena doesn't understand the rules. Usually she's at least able to figure out what his goal is, why he's doing whatever it is he's doing, but this time? It doesn't make any sense.
He catches her gaze far too often and lets his eyes linger on her, even when Stefan's around. It makes her uncomfortable, makes her skin crawl and yet there's a piece of her (somewhere deep down in her bones) that enjoys it. He probably picks up on that, too, even though Elena herself hasn't really figured it out.
Maybe Isobel was right; maybe she had both of the Salvatore brothers' hearts, but she only wanted the one.
