Not Your Friend (open)

[Caroline Forbes]

As he brushed my blonde hair, making it cascade down my back. The smile returned on my lips as I then touched his cheek gently as I then said, "That is a very good thing." I leaned up and pecked his lips before I then rested onto his chest and sighed happily once more at that moment right then and there. This felt right almost.

[Damon Salvatore]

My eyes flash. It'll be a long road, Blondie. . I meet her eyes. No one will approve. Klaus will have my hide, Elena, well Elena'll be Elena. Stefan'll be distant. Everyone will wonder why. My eyes flash. Why are you with me, Caroline? I need to hear that she's with me because of me. I don't need to hear I love you. I need to hear why she's with me. I need to know why. I need to know she's not going to Katherine me.

[Caroline Forbes]

Damon's word sink into me as I listen to him some more at that moment as I then looked at him and smiled a bit at him once more as I placed my right hand onto his cheek. "Why am I with you Damon? I am with you because you are a southern gentlemen and you do not treat me like I am a prize. I am actually a person in your eyes." I blink my eyes a bit as I then rubbed his cheek up and down. "Why me Damon?"

[Damon Salvatore]

I look at her and think for a minute. I don't know; as much as everyone saw the bad in me, And there certainly is bad, but somehow you always managed to see the good. You wee always on my case. Not afraid to tell me when I was being an ass, lying, pretending not to care. You were the only person that actually evoked emotion out of me, even if it was annoyance. I tease and kiss her again.

[Caroline Forbes]

Our lips met once more as I then pulled back and looked into his amazing blue eyes as I smiled once more at that moment in time. Damon was very different from all of the others. He was the only one who did not treat me like a little girl, a prize, or even a little china doll. I also was the only one who told him the truth about how he was acting. I then thought about what Elena was going to think about this. Her and I use to be best of friends, but now and days everything was different. Besides, she was with Elijah Mikaelson, she has no room to speak about the elder Salvatore brother anymore. Slowly, I leaned up and kissed his lips gently once more at that moment.

[Damon Salvatore]

I look at her. You know, it's rude to think about another girl while you're kissing one guy. I smirk and kiss her again. Elena's not on my mind anymore. I'm done with romantic ties to doppelgängerss. I'll stick to non-photocopied people from now on. Only took me a 100 years to figure it out.

[Caroline Forbes]

Shoving him a bit, I laughed and shook my head a bit. "Sorry about that. I will stop thinking about that right now." I then grasped onto one of his hands as I squeezed it gently once more at that moment in time. I pressed my forehead against his own forehead and our noses touched a bit. Damon was completely different than the last time we were together.

[Damon Salvatore]

I smirk and raise an eyebrow. Go to sleep. We have all day tomorrow. . I brush the hair from her face. I need her to sleep so I can set up her prom proposal. I want to give her a good last prom

[Caroline Forbes]

I touched his cheek one last time as I then pecked his lips before I laid down onto the bed, my head resting back onto his chest as I then found myself saying in a tired voice, "Good night Damon. See you in the morning."

[Damon Salvatore]

I wait for her to fall to sleep before standing and gently placing a pillow under her head. I dress in a tux and walk downstairs. I scatter rises and candles around the foyer and light them. I walk to the piano and try to clear my thoughts. I won't actually play. I'll just shadow until I've figured out what I'll sing to her. Time to wait for her to wake up.

[Caroline Forbes]

It was time for me to wake up as I then sat up and rubbed my eyes a bit once more at that moment right then and there at that moment. Yawning a bit, I looked up, thinking I was going to see Damon, but he was not there. A soft sigh escaped from my lips as I then got out of the bed, still just wearing his shirt and my bra and underwear since I did not have some fresh clothes to change into. This will have to do. As I walked out of his room, I was going to go to their blood storage in the basement and just have one bag. As I walked down the stairs, I looked over and saw roses and candles all set up. My eyebrow raised as I then looked and wondered what in the world was going on, until I saw Damon at the piano and jumped a bit. "Jesus! You scared me!" I laughed as I then ran a hand through my long, curly, blonde hair.

[Damon Salvatore]

I smirk and stand in my Tux. I pick her up and set her on top of the piano. She opens her mouth to speak,, but I put a finger to my lips. I begin to play the song I've written just for her. This is probably the most stupid romantic thing I've ever done. Oh, Caroline, my darling, I've hungered for your touch. A long, lonely time. And time goes by so slowly, And time can do so much. Are you still mine? This is the key in our relationship. Times done so much for us. We "hated" each other for so long, yet here we are. I need your love. I need your love. God speed your love to me. Though I'll never admit it, I need her. I need her to keep me alive. I need her love, her compassion. Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea., To the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh: 'Wait
for me, wait for me. I'll be coming home, wait for me.' I know it's taken me a while, but I hope that even when I go off the wrong track, she'll stay and wait it out. She'll wait for me to come home. Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch. A long, lonely time. And time goes by so slowly, And time can do so much. Are you still mine? I belt this chorus out, never breaking eye contact with Caroline as I sing and play. The song slows down as I finish up. I need your love, I need your love. God speed your love to me. I strike the final chords and stand up. I stand in front of Caroline and pull the rose out of my lapel. I extend it to her. Caroline Forbes, my Blondie, will you do me the honor, of being my date to my first real prom? I look at her and a small smile quirks on my lips.

[Caroline Forbes]

This is the first time that anyone could say that I, Caroline Beula Forbes, was speechless. No one has ever soon this much passion towards me or worked this hard for me to go on a date with them. Not Matt, not Tyler, no one. Damon Salvatore was different. A smile spread on my lips as I then took a hold of the rose in my hand, sniffed it, and then looked up at him. "Yes Damon. Of course I will be your date to your first prom and my firs prom." Then I jumped off the piano and hugged Damon as I still held the rose in my hands as I rested my head onto his chest. My head fitted perfectly under his chin as I snuggled closer to him some more. My prom was going to be amazing. Amazing with Damon Salvatore. I could of not asked for a much better date than him. This made my dead heart want to beat like crazy again.

[Damon Salvatore]

I hug her to me, a strange display of affection for me. I can be affectionate in many other ways, but my hugs are limited. Bringing an older man to your last prom. I smirk. Kinky, and scandalous. I'm impressed. I kiss the top of her head and suppress a grin. I'm mostly kidding. Sort of.

[Caroline Forbes]

Rolling my eyes, I looked up at Damon and said, "Do you honestly think that I care? I mean, I do care about what my friends think but everyone else? They can suck it up because my date is going to be the hottest date in the whole place." I smirked at Damon as I then winked and then I let go of our hug and sniffled the rose before I looked around the area. "When in the world did you get the time to set this whole thing up Damon?" I asked him as I then looked back at him as the candle light was brighting up my features.
