Post by Stefan Salvatore on Jan 20, 2018 23:45:53 GMT
Stefan had always turned up to the old Salvatore estate on this specific day. How could he not it was the only way to keep Damon in his life even if it was small and one sided? Stefan came to reminisce about his old life with his brother. If the hell stone had taught him anything he needed to let Damon go to live happily to be his true self. After everything they had been through it proved it. Even after the Phoenix Stone everything that happened with Cade he believed he had, however, even after a decade without him in his life he still missed him and he just couldn't let go. He may have let go on paper for thr last hundred years but he still held on in his own way. The human knew what his death would do to his brother and he thought he would get over it after awhile but he was wrong. He knew that he could die at any minute from blood loss, car accident or not even waking up one day. He couldn't go back to his old life because if he died for real it would shake Damon again and if Damon happened to be there when it happened Stefan knew he wouldn't move on. This way was better or so he thought. He had watched his brother occasionally over the years and times he had just wanted to go over and ease his brother's suffering but he thought for the both of them this way was best. He convinced himself that he had moved on and left his old life behind but in reality he had done nothing of the sorts. The life he had chosen was because he didn't want to shatter Damon again instead he had hoped to watch Damon move on and be happy. Stefan had left town after he thought he started aging. He wouldn't let Damon or Caroline watch him wither and die when they looked the same as ever. Oh how he missed being immortal and being stuck rather than aging. He had always hoped to be human but it wasn't all sunshine and roses like he had hoped. There was no humanity switch, no easy way out, no compulsion or fast healing. He was back to being an ordinary human but one in which  blood wouldn't heal. He didn't want to watch as he died from a bullet wound that Damon couldn't fix. Damon would blame himself so he just left. Maybe there had been an easy way out after all? All that being said he had to convince himself that this was a choice he had made for himself and that he had let go of Mystic Falls it would be easier that way. Stefan considered this spot to be the proper resting place for himself as well as the first time he had died as a human before becoming the monster he had had died here. Stefan knew Mystic Falls was normally deserted as it was just ruins now and it was all gone. So he made his way to the Salvatore crypt. Stefan had wished Damon a happy birthday and he now had to say sorry for what he had put him through again. The only place that could be done was the crypt that somehow was still standing even after the end of the world it seemed to keep standing. Maybe it was fate or a symbol of how the Salvatores never seemed to die fully. He always found it creepy as he had killed most of the people in there including himself. He had his original grave and his most recent one. And there it was... all faded with little cracks but unlike the rest for some reason it never had dust on it. As if someone was always cleaning it he never saw anyone else there when he went but it didn't mean it didn't happen. He walked over to it with a crushing feeling of guilt washing over him. There was no body there and he knew it was just an empty grave but it shouldn't be. Brother-Husband-Friend. Now at Peace Oh how he wished it was true. Stefan took a deep breath in as he placed his hand on the gravestone. "Damon, I'm sorry." He paused. He didn't know what to say. He never did. Somehow though it felt right as if somehow he would hear the words this time. He could never say it to his face to he had to say it somehow. "I... I know I was selfish but...." Was he justifying it to himself or was he being honestly sorry. Stefan walked back and just sat but the tomb for hours trying to think of the words he would say to his brother if he ever had the chance. Yet again he couldn't think of the words that would make it right again as no words would ever make what he had done right again. Just as he got up to leave he walked past the stained glass window and heard a snap of a twig. He froze. He cursed the fact he could not just rush out of there or even that he didn't know if it was human, or animal that had caused the sound. He was a sitting duck in a crypt with only one way out. Was this finally his end? How fitting would that be in the place where he was meant to be buried. He couldn't move. His heart was pounding faster and faster. He shouldn't be here. It was a stupid idea. Damon Salvatore |

1. | D amon had not been home to Mystic Falls in a very long time. After all hell broke loose, literally all hell broke loose when the apocalypse happened, Damon just couldn't stay anymore. Stefan had died and Damon was having a hard time even after all this time. It was his birthday and this day always got him to missing Stefan more than usual. He remembered that Stefan always gave him a bottle of really good bourbon every year and they would drink it together.
Being back in Mystic Falls was really hard for Damon. It didn't look like the same town anymore. After the Apocalypse happened the town was virtually destroyed. The only structures that were still standing were The Boarding house and family crypt in the cemetery. He went to the house first. He went to his room and then he went to Stefan's room. He stood in the doorway at looked the room over before entering. He couldn't believe it but it still looked the same way it did when Stefan was alive. He walked over to the desk and there it was laying there, Stefan's journal. He sat down and just stared at it. He couldn't read it. He thought if he read his brother's final moments that he would really be gone and he just couldn't do it.
He sat there for a few minutes and then he decided that he should go the family crypt and see Stefan. He stood up and looked at Stefan's journal one last time and then he walked out of the room. As he walked back downstairs and looked around the house. He forgot how much he missed it here. He went over to the bar and pulled out bottle of bourbon and then he went to the door, opened it and walked out of the house.
As he was walking through the woods there was really no denying it Mystic Falls was definitely not the same. He knew how much Stefan would hate what happened to this town and it got him to thinking that maybe he would stay and try to fix the town up. It's what his brother would want. He went through the woods and was now in the cemetery. Most of the graves were destroyed or party destroyed.
He arrived at the family crypt and he remembered that he would come here to clean Stefan's headstone. It was all he had let of his brother. He was about to go inside when he heard something. Someone was inside his family's crypt and he had no idea who it was but whoever it was they were human because he heard a heartbeat. The next step he took was on a twig, it snapped and made a loud noise. The person that was in there knew he was there now. He stepped in front of the door and looked inside. He saw a figure sitting on the bench but he couldn't see him clearly. He moved a little closer "Look asshole, whoever you are, you made a bad move coming into my family's crypt." Then he stepped inside the crypt and then he got a look at who was there. He thought he was crazy at first but he was looking at his brother "Stefan is that you?" Damon asked because he was very confused at how he was seeing his brother right now.

Stefan froze as he heard Damon. It had to be someone he knew from his old life. Nobody else cared about the Salvatores buried here. He only wished it was someone else and not his brother or Caroline for that matter. The rest would understand a little better or at least be easier to explain it to not that there were many left after the Apocalypse. Damon was right he had made a bad move by coming here and it was now too late to take it back. This was it. He was moments from seeing his brother face to face after so long but he couldn't back out. There was nothing the human could do. He couldn't run Damon was quicker. He couldn't hide Damon knew he was there. It was time to face the music. One more step and Damon would be able to see him. He stood up slowly as Damon took the final step. "Y-" He cut himself off. What would he say? He couldn't think of the words when it was hypothetical how could he do it now? The main difference was that he had to he had no other choice. In this moment he wished he had died all those years ago. He didn't know how to explain to Damon the reasons for the pain he had put him through for so long. When he finally recovered the ability to speak it was quiet but he knew Damon would be able to hear it. "It's me brother." He didn't know what else to say. There was so much he had wanted to say to him but now he had the chance words failed him. Damon Salvatore |

| D amon couldn't believe what he was seeing. When Stefan came into view Damon was sure he was seeing a ghost. The otherside no longer existed and even if it did Stefan would not have been there because he was human. So the only thing that Damon could figure happened is that Stefan somehow survived and decided it was better not to tell anyone.
Damon knew his brother better than anyone. As a human Stefan felt guilt more powerfully and as a that was magnified. Now that he was human again he was back to just feeling guilt the regular way but regular for Stefan was still worse than anyone else.
Damon knew Stefan's reasons for leaving and not coming back and not telling his own brother he was alive. Stefan always felt that he needed to atone for the bad things he did as a and especially for Enzo. That is why he left.
Now as Stefan stood in front of him Damon was a loss for words. There were so many things he wanted to say but couldn't. Just a few minutes ago, when he was sitting in Stefan's room, he had been thinking about turning his humanity off but now as he stood in front of his brother, things were different.
Damon wasn't the kind of person to cry. In fact he doubted if stefan had ever seen him cry but today was different. As he looked at his brother, who he thought was dead for the last 132 years, the tears started flowing down his face. He stepped closer to him "Where the hell have you been?" Then he reach out and pulled Stefan in a hug "You have no idea how much I missed you." Damon said as he hugged his brother even tighter.

Stefan was expecting an explosion or an assault until he proved who he was but it turned out very different. If he knew it was going to be like this maybe he would have gone to Damon sooner. Stefan knew Damon didn't take betrayal or abandonment well and he had done both for a century but he also knew how much their bond meant to Damon as it was equal for him. Stefan couldn't believe what he was seeing. Damon was openly accepting emotions, which he had always thought were awful. It just showed how much this meant to him. Stefan had no way to control his emotions like he used to. As a he could push certain emotions back if they weren't too strong but now he didn't have that option and even if he did he couldn't hide the relief, guilt and love he was feeling right now for Damon. Stefan embraced his brother pulling him close in a tight grip. "I think I have an idea." He laughed quietly. So many emotions were flooding through him right now. "It's a long story. I've been around." He never thought this moment would come but here he was and for once he wasn't dreaming. "I've missed you brother."

| D amon started pulling himself together he pulled back from his brother, stepped back and looked at him "Do you have any idea what you put me through Stefan, what you put Caroline and Elena through?" He paused and paced back and forth before stopping and looking at Stefan again "We thought you died and your answer for where you have been all this time is you have been around?" Steps closer to Stefan "If you were not my brother and if I were not so happy to see you alive I might just kill you."
Starts walking around the crypt and stops at Stefan's headstone "The day we held your funeral Caroline and I stood right here and you know what we were both wondering? If peace existed or not but if we had known that you weren't even dead we wouldnt have been wondering that." He turns and looks at Stefan "Do you know that Caroline almost didn't survive losing you? Somehow she pulled it together and built a school and named it after you, The Stefan Salvatore Boarding School for gifted kids. Then there is Elena who couldn't handle you dying and me not being human and broke up with me."
He looked away for a few seconds because he still had a problem with losing Elena then he turned back to Stefan "Then there is me, who up until 5 minutes ago thought you were dead, I left Mystic Falls only to return every few years to make sure the house was still standing and to take care of you tombstone. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Of course Stefan knew what he had put them through. He had kept an eye on each of them he may have physically moved on but he couldn't actually let go of them all without knowing if they were still okay. He couldn't count the amount of times that he had seen them hurt or lost, Damon specifically, the times when he wished he had the courage to just go over and end the suffering or at least stop a part of it. The thing was he couldn't do it. He feared what they would think, say or do he was scared that his life wasn't the same any more so his new life wouldn't be the same. He didn't want to put them through the misery or hell of his penance. Even after all this time he still blamed himself for turning Damon all those years ago and he had to make up for his mistakes as well as his brother and Hell knew how much they had done to the world. "Of course I do Damon. Do you honestly think I completely let you go for so long? Why do you think I am here?" How could Damon think so little of him? It wasn't as if he had left Damon to die or walked off a cliff. He knew what he had done and he helped out where he could over the years. He looked down ashamed. He had this moment run through his memory every which way for the last hundred years. He knew how Damon was feeling after all Damon had left him for three years to rot in a coffin. There is was the anger. He took a deep breath. He didn't put it past Damon that if he wasn't human he would have his neck snapped a few times before he could finally explain himself. So there was a bonus of being human even though right now Stefan would prefer to be unconscious. Stefan looked back up at the mention of peace. "Honestly Damon, I don't think there is peace. If there was I wouldn't still be here and the world around us wouldn't look like Hell. If it does we both know I wouldn't be there." He knew he looked like a hero to everybody else but to himself he only saw the lives he had ruined as he couldn't shut them out. Every time he closed his eyes he saw them. He knew what he had put Caroline through and even after all this time it didn't matter if she loved him or not or of she would when she knew he was alive but he loved her and he still wore his wedding ring to this day. Even after everything he made sure it was clean and never lost. "I had no doubt she wouldn't. She had the twins, she had you, Alaric and she is strong. It would take more than me to break Caroline Forbes-Salvatore." He didn't know if anything would break her but she would always get through it. He couldn't have Caroline or Damon without the other so he had to let them both go. It hurt him to think that his death may have been a reason why Elena and Damon broke up but he was slightly happy it had happened quickly rather than them not wanting to be together but staying together until one finally broke the other. This way Damon had longer to get over it and he hoped he had even if just a little. What did he have to say for himself? Everything he said would hurt Damon in one way or another. "I knew you would be fine. Even after the break up you had Caroline and Alaric. I kept an eye on you to make sure you where fine and doing okay. I couldn't be there physically but I was still there for you." He looked down. He knew how much it had hurt Damon when Katherine had pretended to be dead like he had but he couldn't let go. "I'm sorry. I had to let go. You had to let go. I don't know what else to say Damon. No words or actions will make what I did right."

blood wouldn't heal. He didn't want to watch as he died from a bullet wound that Damon couldn't fix. Damon would blame himself so he just left. Maybe there had been an easy way out after all?
