( he wishes she would. he isnโt katherine. he wonโt whittle someone down until they eat, sleep, breathe out of the palm of his hand โ compulsion is harmless, playing a game to make someone fall for you unequivocally is heartless. and he doesnโt know stefanโs way of building people up because thereโs only one person heโs ever been willing to carry and even his own brotherโs weight is too much. so he wishes she would shut it down, stop allowing her curiosity to rule her. hasnโt she learned yet that what ifs are as lethal as fire? )
Does hearing I'm wrong make me want to? ( so what if that's a button of his? )No.
No, because I'm not like you. I already want to. I'm not ashamed of it. I was hungry, so I ate. It evolved, so I adapted. ( there. he addressed it. ) Why? Why do you need to know the truth? ( he doesn't care and he means that from the bottom of his heart. he doesn't care because he can't; he also has trust issues in regards to his close friends. people who have sworn he can rely on him and then turned around and used him. ) You know me. You already know the answer is yes. Yes, I'd go for a repeat performance.
( he has the tact to lower his voice but he doesn't. he may be vulgar but it's the truth; a deterrent and an offer. )
I would bite you, kiss you, sleep with you. I'd go for round three right here.
[ deadpan, nonchalant; she says it even as she turns back towards the stovetop to adjust the heat and cover the pot, tone impressively even. there's real effort in that, though, and it really only lasts for a moment or two before she's whipping back around to face him, blonde strands flipping over her shoulder in the process.
he doesn't lower his voice, and so caroline doesn't either. she tries to be firm, but it comes out more obstinate than anything. ]
I'm not ashamed, either. I was โ [ it's complicated. ] Confused, I guess, and then we didn't talk about it, and I just figured you did your whole Damon thing and decided you were over it.
[ or that she wasn't good enough. whatever. that's not the point. ]
It felt good, okay. It did. I just don't want to do it again in the middle of the safehouse.
[ sue her. if wanting privacy is demanding, then she's got no problems with being high-maintenance. ]
