Imagine Damon singing / dedicating a song to you after he realizes he's in love with you

  Damon Salvatore wasn't a big fan of feelings and expressing them, partly because he didn't know how to. He was used to being the bad guy, the antagonist of the story, yet he craved to be a better person for you, the girl he had hopelessly fallen in love with. And, it was quite obvious, that he needed someone's help to deal with the overwhelming emotions he hadn't felt in a long time.

  Personally, he was a fan of ignoring the feelings until they'd go away, but it was much harder than that. It wasn't just a silly crush, he figured that out with Stefan's help, but after his brother considered himself helpful enough, he removed himself of the matter, and Damon turned to Alaric, his best friend who certainly had experience of women. Whereas Damon liked to have one night stands, temporary fun, Alaric was more down-to-earth with realistic expectations, seeking for permanent romance, and that was why Damon thought he could offer some helpful advice.

  "She's so beautiful", was how Damon started a conversation as he sat on the empty seat next to Alaric's, ordering a drink while grunting. His buddy laughed, and nudged him with his elbow so he'd tell more, knowing that talking about the feelings Damon felt, would help a lot. And, Alaric couldn't really help if he didn't know what was going on in Damon's heart and head.

  "I just want to kiss her all day long. I want to hold her hand, and I want everyone to know she's mine. I want to hear about her day and buy her gifts and be her best friend and still have amazing se--", Damon ranted, but before he could go further, Alaric interrupted.

  "Okay, TMI, bro", Ric laughed nervously. "I think you should do something to let her know you love her. More than just text her. Do something big, something awesome. You should--- Man, you should totally sing for her!", he suggested, and finished his drink while Damon only drew the first sip of his. The Salvatore looked at his best friend like he was mad, and perhaps he was, perhaps just trying to help. Most of all, Alaric just really wanted to see Damon make a fool of himself, but he knew that you liked Damon back, so you'd no doubt be flattered by his attempt to impress you.

  Damon laughed, and shook his head. "I'm not much of a singer", he rolled his eyes, and Alaric returned the amused chuckle, while tilting his head to the side and raising his glass to clink it with Damon's.

  "Let's have a few more drinks and we'll see. I'll ask Y/N to come when you're ready to hit the stage."

  "Okay, I'll do it."

  Alaric chuckled at Damon, and patted his shoulder as he guided him up the few stairs to enter the stage in Mystic Grill. "I know, you've said that three times in the past forty-five minutes, and Y/N is already sitting over there. Okay, buddy, just go over there, and sing along the lyrics. You know this song, so just sing from the heart and let Y/N know how you really feel", Alaric grinned, and pushed Damon to the center of the stage where he stumbled awkwardly, but eventually found himself behind the microphone.

  Meanwhile, you were sitting in the front row, not sure what to expect, and quite frankly you were a tad scared of what was about to come, but compared to Damon, Alaric seemed relatively sober and you trusted him so you stayed on your seat. Ric had asked you to stop by the Grill almost an hour ago, and there you were now, nervously bouncing your knee up and down while fiddling with the hem of your shirt, your eyes looking over to Alaric who came to sit next to you.

  "He's a bit drunk, but I wouldn't have gotten him to do this if he wasn't. Sorry about that, but believe me, whatever he slurs out, he means it", Alaric grinned, and you shook your head while laughing out loud, but stopped when the lights went down, except for a spotlight on Damon so everyone could see him well. He grabbed the microphone, and it made an unpleasant sound which made you cover your ears, and he apologized sheepishly.

  "This song is, um-- This song is dedicated to the... To the most amazing girl ever, the one that I fell in love with... Y/N, I hope you-- You like this", Damon stammered, grinning as the music started to play, and you easily recognized your current favorite song, from one of your favorite bands. You really never thought you'd witness Damon Salvatore singing Panic! At the Disco's Death Of A Bachelor, dedicated to you, but there he was, right in front of your eyes doing so.

  You couldn't help but laugh, really, but it was adorable. Drunk Damon was surprisingly good at singing, and your heart fluttered at the sweet gesture, even if it was absolutely amusing, and afterwards highly embarrassing for him, but you liked it. You loved Damon, and apparently he loved you too, and you were happy to find out about it, especially this way, so you leaned back in your chair and decided to enjoy the performance he put up just for you.

  "Is this really happening?", you asked from Alaric, your cheeks pink as you giggled and covered your face with your palm, but peeked through the fingers to see Damon dancing around to the music, his hand holding the mic as he slurred out the lyrics in perfect order. He had clearly heard the song before, and that alone made you happy.

  You couldn't stop smiling, and your heart felt like it was about to explode. Damon made a complete fool of himself, but he was so cute, yet at the same time so unbelievably sexy, and not too bad of a singer either, so when he ended the song dramatically, you jumped up from your seat and clapped your hands together. Perhaps he didn't hit the high notes so flawlessly, but you enjoyed every second nonetheless, and flashed him a genuine smile as he looked at you, proud of himself.

  Eventually, Damon stumbled off of the stage as the people in Mystic Grill clapped, and he came to you right away. Alaric exited the situation, but you gave him a grateful look, before hugging Damon tightly and giggling in his ear, your lips finding his cheek soon enough. He was a bit sweaty, clearly exhausted from the intoxicated performance, and it made you grin as you looked into his eyes and wrapped your arms around his neck.

  "That was awesome", you laughed, "and, I love you too, you know", making Damon's eyes widen. He draped his arm around your waist, and you went on your tiptoes so you could place your lips on his, and you found yourself kissing passionately while people continued to cheer and clap for the two of you. Even if what Damon did was awkward and funny as all hell, it was also epic and totally adorable, and you knew you'd never forget it.

  Just like you'd never forget the intense first kiss you had under the spotlight. It was quite evident, that the both of you really owed a massive thank you to Alaric, who was grinning at the bar, happy to see his buddy with the girl of his dreams.

  The last thing that Damon said before you took him home, was a drunk mess of words, but it still managed to make you smile, "Hey, Y/N, I gotta make a confession. I think I've fallen in love with you."

  You didn't know if he'd remember the passionate performance on the next day, but you certainly would.
