Damon Salvatore hurt and sickfics

just let me take care of you. (Migraines)

(Summary. Damon gets awful migraines during the night but doesn't want to wake Stefan up when Stefan finds out what's happening he takes care of him, but of course Damon is stubborn and refuses. But Stefan puts his foot down treating him like a child the whole day taking care of him till he feels much better. (Set in S5 before Damon and Elena broke up. Stefan did not drown in the quarry and Silas is dead. Defan bond is strong)

Stefans Pov
It was late at night probably around 11:00pm when I heard it. It sounded like quiet moans I was asleep and really tired after all that happened that day. I tried to ignore the groans not feeling like getting up. I closed my eyes again, pulling the sheets over my head trying to fall asleep again, but the groans just kept getting louder. I focused so I could hear where it was coming from. Who would be up at this time? It  sounded like they were coming from Damon's room. Was he ok? He's been out a lot lately only coming home late he's never told me what he was up to tho but I decided to ignore it. Damon was a very unexpected person you never knew what he was going to do and he usually doesn't tell anyone I climbed out of my bed I was shirtless but didn't care. I grabbed the torch on my dresser. It got really dark in the boarding house at night especially this late. Of course I could see in the dark. I tiptoed to Damon's room thinking he was asleep. When I arrived he wasn't there he must have left during the night. "Damon" I called quietly knowing he could he hear me. "Stef." He called back his voice was really raspy. I got worried and followed his voice till I came to the living room. Damon was sitting on the couch his hands on his head groaning softly. "Damon what happened.?"I asked worriedly. He shot his head up when he heard me. "Stefan go back to be bed" He said. No there's something wrong and I'm going to take care of you. I said stubbornly folding my arms not making an attempt to go anywhere. "I don't need you to take care of me. I'm fine."He said stubbornly. "Yeah you certainly look fine and you keep saying that but we both know it's not true. Now wait here I'm going to fetch some cold cloths, blankets, blood bags and some painkillers. I said leaving to fetch the things.
         Damon's pov
When Stefan left I got up to get a bottle of bourbon to tell the truth I had a really bad headache it happened yesterday when I bought a drink from a woman selling different drinks I didn't know she was a witch tho and after drinking the whole bottle I felt really off. I thought it was nothing thinking it would go away but it just kept getting worse. Ugh why did I have to buy from her? I got up getting a bottle of bourbon hopefully this could take some of the pain away I went back to the couch after I heard Stefans footsteps coming closer.

Stefans pov.
I came back with the things putting the cloth and blanket down I brought a bucket in case he threw up. I took the bourbon from his hand and put it on the table. Hey give that back. WHAT THE HELL!!!! He shouted furiously. "Damon... How much of these have you drank? A lot why? He asked confused. Um well are you sure it's not this that's giving you migraines. I asked worriedly. "Uh no." He answered groggily. Come on let's get you to bed. "No!" He refused to get up. "Look we could either do this the easy way or the hard way." When he still refused I threw him over my shoulder like sack of potatoes. but not befire putting the syringe with the bottle of painkillers and damp facecloth in the bucket picking it up. ''Stefan put me down." He shouted angrily banging on my back. I ignored his request and walked faster to his room. "Stop your going to make me puke he shouted putting his fist in front of his mouth. When I arrived in his room I lay him gently in the bed and pulled the sheets and blankets over him but when I was about to take his temperature he kept turning his head away till I got fed up." Damon I'm going to take care of you whether you like it or not. So I suggest you start liking it because if you don't it would be very unpleasant for both of us.Now open your mouth!" I ordered I was getting sick of him refusing to let me take care of him. It was the same when we were human he never let anyone care for him. He always hid his emotions away. He shook his head his lips pressed together in a tightline frowning. What was his problem. "Damon I'm going to get this in you one way or another so I suggest you start co-operating. He looked at me angrily. "Yes Mom. He said sarcastically. Alright I've had it up till here now. "Damon that's not funny you know I miss our Mom." Sorry he mouthed quietly. "You are always taking care of me when I'm sick you shouldn't be upset now that I want to take care of you please." When it still didn't work I used an old trick I've learnt. "You know Elena called." That got his attention. "But I told her you weren't here." I said. Hopefully he bought it. He did. "What!!" As soon as he opened his mouth I slipped the thermometer under his tongue. I waited till he heard the loud beep and then took it checking it. It read 200°F. It was a good thing he was a vampire otherwise this would be way to high. "Nothing we can't take care off. "You don't have to do this. I can take care of myself." He said quietly altho he was still angry I tricked him. "I want to do this. Nothing makes me happier than having to take care of you." He smiled a little. "How did I get so lucky to have someone like you in my life."He asked smiling at me. Lately after he started dating Elena he's been in a lot of good moods. Even tho I missed her I was happy for Damon to. It's been a long time since he's been this happy a long time since he's really smiled or laughed well not now at least but usually. Plus Elena and I decided to stay friends so its not like I lost her forever. "Well sometimes people get lucky." "But I'm not a good person I've hurt people. I've killed them I've hurt you and that's the last thing I wanted." I hurt you because I put Katherine over everyone. Im sorry." I looked at him shocked. Since when did Damon apologize it must be the side affects of the migraine. "You shouldn't even worry about me or even take care of me after all that I've done." He said. "Damon you're my brother and nothing's going to change that.I'm always going to worry about you and take of you, I'll always be there for you because if I don't then who will. Elena? Yes sure but right now I'm here. So will you let me take care of you?" He nodded. "Im the big brother I should be taking care of you. I should've been saving you not the other way around." He complained. "I didn't save your life all those times because I had to. I did it because I wanted to because I care about you and because you are someone who deserves to be taken care of you deserve love." I said softly. Getting the syringe and dipping it in a bottle of painkillers."After everything you've never given up on me even after I resented you after I've promised you an eternity of misery. You gave everything up to save my life. Why?" He asked. "Because you don't deserve to be given up on." I answered taking the syringe out and rolled he's sleeve up. Even tho Damon wasn't scared of needles when he was like this it was good thing to keep him distracted, you never know what he would do in this state. "You deserve love just like everybody. You have to know there are people who love and care about you. Like me." I said positing the syringe in place. I could see the tears forming in his eyes. "You care about me?" He asked in uncertain. Which baffled me why would he even think that. "Of course I do what kind of question is that?"I haven't given up hope that I would get you back after Katherine came and twisted your heart poisoning it and destroyed every good thing about you." I injected the syringe in. Then got out a few blood bags. His face tensed and his jaw clenched when I said Katherine's name. "I hate her. She ruined everything" he said." "Yeah so do I." I said not just because she destroyed our life's but because she drove a steak in our relationship after Katherine arrived Damon ignored me completely he only cared about her. I hated what she was doing to him. But in all fairness I fell for her too and completely ignored Damon. "What happened with Katherine wasn't your fault. It's crazy how we thought nothing could shatter our bond was shattered by one girl. I said. Here I got you these I handed him the bags. It's B positive your favourite." "Thanks" He mouthed. I nodded and watched as he gulped it down the veins appearing under his eyes. When he was done he gave it back signaling me for another one. I gave it to him and continued talking. "Nothing could shatter our bond it is unbreakable and what happened with Katherine wasn't your fault you never asked for her to come in our lives." I said softly looking at him. I went to the bathroom, wet the rag with some warm water squeezed it out, returning to Damon putting it on his forehead. "I never should've blamed you either even tho you forced me to turn this whole thing wouldn't have happened if she didn't come into our life's. No one forced me to love her. I was stupid I never should be trusted her. Im sorry for everything. I should've been there for you when you needed me Your the only family I have left Stef I should've seen that. You never turn your back on family. I promise I will never do that again and now I know the only reason you forced me to return was because you didnt want to live without me and honestly I would've done the same thing because I can't see my life without you in it either. Without You and Elena I'm nothing you guys have never given up on me. And to be fair I'm grateful you didn't leave me to die otherwise I never would've met Elena so one good thing did come out of it. So I forgive you." He said. "Katherine manipulated us both stop putting so much guilt on yourself I've done horrible things to no one's perfect I'm no better than you." I said taking the cloth of. "You know this whole thing happened because we let someone get between us. I don't want to let that happen again. From now on you are my top priority. I want to be the big brother you deserve. Just like you are there for me. I will be there for you." I felt a few tears I'm my eyes but wiped them off. Ive missed this side of Damon I haven't seen it since we've turned. The side he had when we were human the Damon I looked up to when we were kids. My brother and best friend. Finally after all these years I recognised my brother again. The differences are Katherine tore us apart but Elena brought us back together and I couldn't be more grateful towards her. It turns out I needed him more than I needed her. There was nothing I wouldn't do for him in moments like these. No one I would choose over him and no one I loved more. I mean I sacrificed everything to save his life and I don't regret it. I would do it all over again if it meant Damon was safe and alive. I may say I hate him sometimes but that's usually when I'm angry. We may fight a lot but when push comes to shove I'd do anything for him and I knew he'll do the same for me. "I'm feeling better thank you." I nodded. "Is anything there else I can do for you?" I asked. "Can you call Elena for me.My airtime is finished and my phone's on charge."Of course. I called Elena to tell her what was wrong. She sounded very worried and asked to speak to him. I held the phone out to him. "It's Elena." I whispered. He looked hesitant. Raising his eyebrow."Im not lying this time." I said he took the phone from me. I took the stuff back to the kitchen throwing the empty bags away.

        Damon's pov.
(Phone convo)
Damon: Elena hey.
Elena: Damon, baby are you ok?
Stefans said you weren't feeling very well. What's wrong?

Damon: Migraine. Bad one

Elena: Aww what happened my sweety. (Her voice was very sympathetic and I've missed hearing her voice a lot.)

Damon: I don't know.

Elena: Listen you are going to get through this. You'll be fine. Your the strongest person I've met.

I smiled softly Elena always knew how to encourage me or inspire me. It was one of the reasons I fell in love with her and what makes her so different from Katherine.

Damon: Well I know with you encouraging me I will. When do you get back from your college trip? I miss you

Lately Elena has been so busy with College after the summer catching up on work, writing tests etc that we haven't had much time together. I've missed her incredibly the last time we really spent together was in the summer before college started.

Elena: I'm coming back tomorrow and then I'm off till next week then we can spend all our time together. I miss you to

Damon: That's way to little time to be spending with you. I want to spend eternity with you and never let you leave again. Why don't you just quit college. I joked. (I wanted her to be happy and follow her dreams. I didn't want to hold her back what kind of boyfriend would I be if I did. I just missed her lately)

Elena: Damon. I can't do that. She laughed.

Damon: (I laughed to) I know I know. But it would be cool if you could.

Elena: Look I'm going to see you tomorrow. You're going to be ok. I love you, Damon. Good night my love.

Damon: I love you to. Night Lena.(I hung the phone up)

       (End of convo)
Stefan came back to get his phone. I handed it to him but before he could leave I grabbed his wrist making him turn around. Could you stay. I don't want to be alone."Since when are you so venerable. Who are you and what have you done to my brother?" He joked. I laughed. Pls Stef." Of course I'll stay. I went to the other side of the bed and climbed in under the sheets covering us both. Damon snuggled up close to me laying his head on my chest. He looked so vulnerable that I forgot he was 171 years old he looked like the scared boy who used to get beaten by our father. I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards him. I wrapped my arm around him. Then he said something I never thought he would say. Something he hasn't said since we've turned. "I love you, little brother. Thank you for taking care of me and always sticking by me, saving my life and never giving up on me." I stared at shock I couldn't believe he'd say this after years of rejection. My heart swelled with joy when the words reached. "I love you to. Brother. Of course you never turn you're back on family." Knowing I meant every word. I looked at him but he was already fast asleep. Anything for you, big brother. I smiled falling asleep to.

A/N.This was my first sickfics I've written. I hope you like it pls request more. I really enjoyed writing it and want to carry this book on. Remember only Damon can get hurt or sick.💓💓💓💓💓
