1 Month Later -

"Damon, I told you, I don't mind us being together, just not around Stefan!" He continued to kiss down my stomach like I hadn't said a word. I smacked him upside the head.
"Ouch! What?"
"Not in your house!" I laughed.
"You know that whole super hearing vampire thing? Stefan uses it. You're lucky he's out hunting. He doesn't like me around here anyway."
"He's never said anything about it."
"I know Stefan. I can tell."
"I think we should tell him." Damon looked at me.
"I don't know Damon. I moved from one brother to the next in a week, I'd say that's some whore behavior."
"You realized something that you knew for awhile. That's not being a whore, that's called being in love."
I smiled. "Since when did you get to be so smart?"
"I've had 145 years to practice." He winked.
"So where am I taking you tonight that's at least 20 minutes away from Mystic Falls, because SOMEONE doesn't want anyone to know about us."
"I don't care to be honest. I know we need to tell Stefan but I don't know how."
"Let him walk in on us."
"Damon!"
"Just an idea."
"What if we told him together? Tonight."
"Nooo, tonight's date night, I get to take you out and spoil you."
I smiled. "Tomorrow. I can't wait any longer."
"But tomorrow is the Miss Mystic Falls pageant."
"That counts as a date." I winked.

I walked in the living room.
"Hey, I gotta talk to you." Stefan said.
"Actually, I do too."
"You go first then." He smiled.
I looked over at Damon, who wrapped an arm around me.
"Stefan?" I whispered.
"What's up?"
"I'm in love with your brother."
Stefan let out one huge laugh.
"Oh wait, you're serious?"
"Dead." Damon replied.
"Okay." Stefan shrugged.
"You're okay with that?" I asked.
"Yeah. I mean, Damon loved you before, it makes him happy. So what'd you do, compel her or put a threat on Adam? Maybe Jenna and Jeremy, or even her grandparents?"
"Stefan, this is my head." I said.
"Well, I still love you, but as long as you're happy, I'm happy."
"Really?"
He put his hands in his pockets and smiled. "Yeah."
I hugged him. "Thank you." I whispered.
I pulled away. "What did you have to talk about?"
"I was asking if you still wanted me to escort you to the pageant, but I imagine Damon will be escorting you."
Damon nodded. "Thank you for being so sincere, brother."
"My pleasure. As long as Luna is happy."
There was an awkward silence for a full minute.
"We better get to my house. Nana says you have to pick a tie that matches my dress."
I laughed.
"Bye." I waved at Stefan.
