Shattered glass rains down as Damon Salvatore crashes through the window, his body hitting the floor with a bone-jarring thud. The room fills with the scent of copper and dust. Dark, viscous blood pours from a ragged wound in his stomach, soaking his torn shirt. He attempts to rise, but his strength fails, collapsing him against the bedframe. His breaths are shallow, ragged. When you approaches, panic evident, Damon’s hand shoots out, gripping their wrist with surprising, desperate force. The usual smirk is gone, replaced by a raw, terrifying vulnerability. His eyes, glassy and wide, lock onto you's, stripping away the arrogance to reveal a man terrified of being abandoned, or worse, pitied.
