she reached up and brushed her fingers through his hair delicately before she carefully cut her hand and let some more of her blood drip into the milkshake, knowing it had been a while since he’d eaten. “i’ll make a bunch of italian food and some desserts. and i can buy wine and bourbon …i’ll handle everything for after the funeral,” she murmured. "it’s the least i can do in order to try and help you grieve," she whispered. allona’s hearts ached as she felt his pain and she rubbed her chest a little, his emotions manifesting in near physical pain for her.

he looked at his milkshake as he breathed out gently and then allowed himself to take several sips needing the feed  because it had been a while. he'd been overly distracted by everything. he licked his lips and then cleared his throat a little bit. after a moment he looked towards her and tilted his head. "are you okay?" he whispered as he moved to take her hand and squeezed it firmly while keeping his gaze glued on her. 

[timexlady]

"take all the time you need d," she whispered. allona followed him to the couch, grabbing the milkshake for him and the glass of bourbon in case he ended up wanting that too. “i wouldn’t have offered it to you without the swirl of something special,” she added as she took a seat and curled up next to him. “do you need anything else? i was thinking i could cook and have everyone over to just mourn and be together. i can make myself scarce of course, i know i’m not part of this group of friends but i want to make sure you and caroline feel taken care of.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

he nodded his head gently he took the milkshake and then he leaned back carefully. he licked his lips before he took a sip  before he looked back to her. "yeah?" he whispered as he  liked his lips and then took a few more sips from the drink in his hands. "you're just as much a part of it as anything and i stand by that. specially if you're gonna cook for us." he told her gently. "okay..." he whispered softly. "we'd love that." 

[timexlady]

allona made a soft sound as damon stepped forward and embraced her tightly she let him hold her for a moment before she put the drinks on the table behind him and returned the embrace. she felt the pain he was feeling as if it were her own and it hurt knowing she couldn’t do very much for him. “i love you…so so much,” she whispered, leaning up to kiss his cheek and stroke his hair. “what do you need? can i do anything for you?”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked towards her and breathed out gently before he leaned close and felt her fingers as they  brushed through his hair. he leaned in and took a breath before he licked his lip. "I just need a minute. but i'll take  that milkshake if it has the added fun." he murmured and and moved to sit down on the couch gesturing for her to  come sit with him. "sit..." he whispered softly. 

[timexlady]

allona had heard the news about liz from stefan and she knew that when damon eventually came home, he would need someone to comfort him. she heard his car pull up so she got two things together for him. a vanilla shake, the way he liked it, and a glass of bourbon. when the door opened, she was standing there and suddenly hit with a wave of his emotion was caused her to inhale sharply and look down. “i heard…i’m so sorry d,” she whispered as she offered out the drinks.

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon stepped inside slowly and then tilted his head  a little bit while he licked his lips and his gaze fell upon his lover. "hi..." he whispered slowly looking at the drinks that she currently had. he considered taking one before he moved his arms around her and held her tightly. he breathed out and moved to hold her not caring about the drinks but just wanting her close. he needed it.

she nodded and leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to his lips. “i know d, i know,” she whispered. “i love you…sometimes i’m concerned with just how deeply i love you. i would do absolutely anything to keep you safe and in my arms,” she added as she began to stroke his hair. “so damon…how are you doing? please don’t hold back. i want you to actually open up to me for once.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

he took in the kiss and returned it with ease and then  proceeded to lean back carefully. he breathed in and  then cleared his throat a little bit. "you want me to open up? hardly my style." he confessed as he leaned back  towards her a bit more and licked his lips. "i feel sad  about it okay....about everything. liv is important to me  and losing another person i care about -- it's not ideal.  but it's one thing i can't do a damn thing about." 

[timexlady]

she nodded and very carefully moved to curl up against him, inhaling his scent as she laid there. “i know that you have no reason…i just worry about you,” she whispered. "i spent so much of my childhood watching my parents destroyed by alcohol…i just don’t want to lose you to it too,” she murmured. “i’m sorry i ran away but i needed to talk to my Dad,” she added softly. “so i won’t bother you about the drinking unless it becomes a problem.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked at her and moved to gently grip her  close to himself as he shifted a bit. "you have nothing to worry about. i can't die, and it's not a problem... sometimes in heartbreak, but i'm not heartbroken, and no one is dead." he commented as he held her close. "you have nothing to worry about blondie, nothing." 

[timexlady]

allona let out a slow breath and glanced to damon. “sometimes you’re an ass,” she stated as she sank down, sitting on the edge of the bed next to him. “but that doesn’t mean i love you any less. —I just…I needed some advice,” she whispered. gently she rested her hand on the book, lowering it so that she would have his attention. "I know you don’t drink like my Papa used to…but i hope you can at the very least understand why it upsets me. I don’t care if you drink from time to time but if it ever becomes a problem, I won’t back down from making sure that you get help. And if you won’t, then you  will risk losing me.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked at her as she lowered his book and he had to  give her full attention. he breathed in and then licked his lips as he sat there. "i get it -- somewhat." he offered as he set the book  to the side and licked his lips. "i don't drink like that, although i do at times but -- i told you i have no reason to get wasted." he stated simply. "it's to curve cravings, and it tastes good." he confessed as he kept his gaze on her. "that's it, a. that's all it is." 

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon was silent for a moment before he shifted and flipped the page in his book while clearing his throat. "you came back...." he spoke as he licked his lips and turned another page. "i figured you were done what with that --- do you statement." he muttered playing off his own hurt emotions as if they did not exist. 

[timexlady]

allona felt her face flush a little as damon made a snarky comment about her father. living there hadn’t always been easy and sure she hadn’t had it as bad as he had, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t still pain that had settled into her hearts. she dried her eyes quickly and let out a shaky breath, nodding a little as he said he had something good. “are you sure you have that?” she muttered as she swallowed down the lump in her throat and turned from him, walking quickly out of the house and down the dark and cold road to clear her head. she knew that he didn’t always drink to get drunk but with a father that was a borderline alcoholic some days, allona couldn’t bear to watch damon travel down the same path.

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon sighed as he watched her take off and his head hung  towards his hands as he breathed out heavily. this wasn't ideal but things had been crazy as of late and yes perhaps he had over stepped on his comments. he looked to the side as she spoke and commented on whether or not he even had that. ".... i don't know." he whispered as he looked down when she left. her comments  suggested he didn't which made his head hurt, and worse his heart because he cared so deeply for allona the thought of not having her was too much. "maybe not..." he whispered into the quiet room.

[timexlady]

she felt the fear of losing him bubble up in her chest, mixed with anger at him for brushing her aside as usual. allona started to storm out before turning back to him. “do you know that when my father gets really upset, he drinks until he can hardly see and then usually does something that gets him killed or hurt to the point of near death? —i saw how it destroyed my Dad to watch as his husband fell to pieces before his eyes…how it hurt me and my siblings, knowing we couldn’t do anything.” she wiped her eyes quickly and let out a breath. “so if you think that i’m going to watch you do the same thing to me that Jack did to my Dad….I won’t. —But if you want to drink, that’s…that’s up to you.” she sniffled and folded her arms over her chest as she turned to leave.

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked towards her and nodded his head slowly. "must  not be all bad, i mean if it was your dad wouldn't still be with him now would he?" he suggested although it was kind of rude and he knew it he couldn't help but point it out. "he must manage." he spoke before he licked his lips and then looked down. "i don't always drink just to get destructive and drunk, allona. I drink to curve murderous cravings and so on. I don't have a reason to go off the deep end, yes, i'm sad, liv is a friend, a dear dear friend, but i'm not gonna self destruct i have something good, i'll be fine."  

[timexlady]

allona glanced at the glass and sighed. she lifted it in her hands and looked down, getting that same queasy feeling she always had when she saw her father lift a glass. “this isn’t a solution,” she hissed as she tossed it into the fire. “i’m glad you went to see her and that you believe you won’t self destruct. but adding alcohol to your already heightened emotions isn’t the answer,” she stated. “i have to go to work. —try not to drown in bourbon before i get back.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked to her and as she took his glass and tossed it into the fire. he breathed out carefully and shook his head. "that was a good bourbon." he stated slowly before he looked up at her and cocked his head to the side. "you're going to work -- i make no promises......" he commented as he glanced at the fire.

[timexlady]

 allona sighed and shook her head. “you’re unbelievable…me  having things on my mind doesn’t mean I can’t help you! You’re  my boyfriend which means we talk about things. But no, of course  big bad vampire Damon needs to keep everything on the inside as  usual,” she swallowed hard and looked down. “If you won’t let me  comfort you, then at least go be with Liz. —Start dealing with your  grief because if you don’t, then when she dies you’re going to lash  out and I won’t watch you self destruct.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

damon looked towards her and then nodded his head as he glanced towards the glass of bourbon in front of him. he took a second and looked towards her once more. "she's sleeping i was there this morning while you slept." he spoke honestly as he shifted a bit. "i'm dealing....i won't self destruct alright." 

[timexlady]

   allona stepped into the living room, a look of sadness on her     face. “I just got off the phone with Caroline…Damon why     didn’t you tell me that her Mother was dying? —i knew there     was a reason you came home and why you’ve been hiding     behind that wall of sarcasm more than usual.”

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

          damon looked up towards allona when she came in and            spoke to him. he shifted slowly and licked his lips before           he gave her a shrug of his shoulders. "you have enough on           your plate without that to worry about. it's not anything you           need to add to that full plate of yours."

Merry Christmas Blonde,        I dived into my attic of collective things, I know the past fascinates you and having lived it I've collected my share of relics. You can start your morning with some flowers, and pancakes special for the day you know --- Bonnie helped she was always better at the decorative part.         Then you'll find I got you a bracelet, and yes I'm vain enough to put a D on it -- that's what you get for dating me. Secondly I had a few records of The Beatles, and yes I have a player you can use to listen to them too -- enjoy.                

[timexlady]

      Allona held his hand tightly, screaming throughout the ride as it whipped them around and dropped them from high heights. “This is amazing!” She yelled. She giggled, enjoying the ride until it came to a stop and she let out a breath. “Wow…that was something else,” she chuckled as she climbed out, nearly falling because her legs were shaking with adrenaline.

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

        Damon held on tight and closed his eyes for a moment as he felt his stomach flutter as they dropped. "Jesus." He spoke as he chuckled. When it finally stopped he moved off behind her and shook his head a bit. "That was definitely not like Earth Disney." He shook his head a little more and then turned to her with a grin. 

[timexlady]

     Allona canted her head to the side and smirked, moving to kiss his cheek gently as he moved to the front of the line. “Of course that’s why I brought you. I’ve gotta get to the front of the line somehow,” she mused as the man let them on to the ride. Allona held tight to Damon as they were strapped in to the ride and it took off. She let out a little scream and held tighter to him, a wide smile on her face.

[bourbonwithdeath-blog]

            Damon gave her a look before they were allowed inside and he quickly moved to get into the ride while holding her hand. He moved and sat back. "This is probably gonna end badly." He confessed as he cleared his throat a bit and then leaned his head back closing his eyes as he made a slight sound when the ride quickly took off.
