7X05/7X10 Parallels

requested: Damon & Elena + ‘Everyone Can See It’:

This trope happens when two characters are just perfect for each other, but neither realizes it (or only one realizes it). However, everyone around them —such as their friends, family, and enemies — can see their obvious feelings for each other. This can also happen when people (outsiders) mistake them for a couple when they’re not together, resulting in a She Is Not My Girlfriend situation, designed to show the audience (and the characters) just how strong/obvious their feelings for each other are.

“This man is the love of my life, the man I didn’t think I deserved, the one I fought for, waited for, the one I told myself I could change for. He makes me better, Damon. You know anything about that?” “A thing or two.”

elena gilbert + her love for damon salvatore ↳ “Then stop loving me!” “I can’t!”

“It was my birthday. Damon and I spent the entire summer looking for Stefan. And I was trying put on a good face because Caroline was throwing this party for me but I was just so sad. That was two seconds from deciding I wasn’t gonna go, I was gonna leave the room, until Damon walked in to give my birthday gift. It was the necklace the Stefan had given me. I’d lost it, but Damon knew what that necklace meant to me. What it meant about my feelings for Stefan. Even though he loved me, he gave me the one thing that represented hope for me and his brother. I knew how much it hurt him. But he did it. It was the most selfless he was ever been.  And in that moment I loved him. I didn’t want to. It terrified me. But for that moment I loved him.
