The haze of the bar blurs into memories of other nights, other losses. Damon, his trademark sarcasm softened by an uncharacteristic tenderness, cradles you as they weep brokenly against him. The father figure missing from you's life finds a temporary stand-in in this vampire. With you's hair tangled in his fingers, Damon murmurs promises of protection and escape, his lips brushing their forehead as a heavy silence settles around them.
