Summary: Set in “The New Deal,” “Disturbing Behavior,” and “Graduation.” Just a delena songfic based on “I Found Love.”
*The New Deal*
And I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
And I’ll use you as a focal point
So I don’t lose sight of what I want
And I’ve moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me

It was a dismal night, as he and Elena stood outside on her porch, in front of each other.
“Because for one second I thought that I wouldn’t have to feel guilty anymore,” he told her.
“Guilty? For what?” she questioned him.
“For wanting what I want,” he said.
Talk some sense to me
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I’ll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take

He left her porch, but then stopped walking away and turned back to her.
“No. You know what? If I’m going to feel guilty about something, I’m going to feel guilty about this.” He then went back to her porch and kissed her.
For a moment, she kissed back, and then he pulled away, gave a smile, and then walked away.
*Disturbing Behavior*
Oh I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
Oh and I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be

It was a dismal night, as Damon sat against the wall in a room at the house after getting thrown by Caroline for going after her father, Bill.
Elena walked in to see the scene and a moment later, Caroline blurred off with Bill.
“Bummer. I love a good girl fight,” Damon commented.
“You can’t do this anymore, Damon. Not in this town. Not around me!” Elena said, looking at him, clearly mad at him for acting like this.
“Why not?” he questioned her, as he got to his feet. “Nothing I’ve ever done before,” he added, looking at her. “Why is it suddenly so important for everyone to keep me in check?” He walked over to her to stand in front of her.
“Because I don’t want you to be what everyone thinks you are,” she replied.
“What? A monster? Sorry to disappoint you, Elena, but last time I checked, I was still a vampire!”
"That doesn’t mean you have to act like one!” she yelled back at him.
“I am not Stefan! Why don’t you stop trying to turn me into him!” he said back, before walking out of the room and then leaving the house.
*The Reckoning*
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be

Elena was seated on the couch and Damon on a chair in the living room at the Salvatore boarding house, after he’d gotten her out of the hospital.
She looked at him after taking a sip from a shot glass of Bourbon he’d given her.
“Where were you, Damon?”
He was silent and then rested a hand on top of hers, looking at her.
“I promise you, Elena, I will never leave you again.”
*Graduation*
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

It was a nebulous night, as they stood in the living room in front of each other.
“I wanted to apologize,” Damon stated.
“Good,” she said.
“Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized, I’m not sorry.”
“You would rather die than be human, and you expect me to be okay with that?” she replied.
“I didn’t say you were supposed to be okay with that. I just said that I’m not sorry. But you know what I really am? Selfish. Because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I’d rather die than be human. I’d rather die right now than to spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when I’m too old and sick and miserable and you’re still you. I’d rather die right now, than to spend my last final years, remembering how good I had it and how happy I was, because that’s who I am, Elena. And I’m not going to change. And there’s no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I am wrong for you,” he replied to her.
“Fine. Then I’m not sorry, either. I’m not sorry that I met you. I’m not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything. That in death, you’re the one that made me feel the most alive. You’ve been a terrible person. You’ve made all the wrong choices, and out of all the wrong choices that I have made, this will prove to be the worst one, but I am not sorry that I’m in love with you. I love you, Damon,” she confessed.
They looked at each other in silence for a moment, before kissing.
