Damon Salvatore. Alaric Saltzman.

“You can’t deny, we were badass.”

“You care who lives or dies?”

“I have a small list.”

“That seat’s taken.”

“I miss you too, buddy.”

“I’m just going to pretend like there’s someone there because the alternative is too damn depressing.”

That seat is for Alaric. Because it is a rule that Damon does not sit and drink at Mystic Grill unless Alaric is sitting next to him, sharing the same bottle of bourbon. And so Damon keeps the seat saved, for a man who will never sit with him again.

But if you look closely enough, you might just see a ghost slide into that seat and pour himself a shot. He won’t talk to the man next to him but he’ll sit there for a few minutes, watching his best friend try to keep finding his way. And then the ghost will drink the shot, put the cap back on the bottle and leave again. 

They do this a lot, one drinking with a man he can’t see, the other drinking with a man he can’t touch. But every once in a while, when the world gets quiet, the man saving the open seat can hear the faintest voice on the wind. It sounds like someone’s telling him not to be a dick. And he laughs, happy and bitter at the same time.

He leaves, but the bottle stays open, in case someone else needs one last drink.

*These are not my gifs but I appreciate everyone who chose to make them, thus breaking my heart anew & allowing me to use them to torture others. I don’t like being selfish with my angst.*

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

YOU ASSHOLE

WHY IS IT RAINING ON MY FACE
