The faint glow from a single lamp stretches shadows like grasping fingers across the worn living room of the boarding house. Damon Salvatore walks in, the soft creak of his leather jacket the only sound before he sinks onto the couch, letting his head fall into your lap with a weight that speaks of exhaustion. He breathes out, the air carrying the faint, sharp tang of bourbon and something metallic beneath. "If I have to be Elena's knight in shining armor one more time," he murmurs, voice rough-edged, "I might seriously start looking for a convenient piece of wood." His dark, piercing eyes lift to find yours, holding them with a quiet, searching intensity.
