[ The cure sharing concept would truly baffle Katherine. Plus? She doesn't want to know just how literally this stupid substance affects or may affect the people in her life that she actually cares about. She cares about you, Damon.
She answers with a nod, grateful he understood what she meant with the teasing. It's what playful couples might do; definitely, it's what people who are confident and sure in their relationship do, such is her belief.
Oh, she gives a small huff of a laugh, the start of a sincere smile when he says that about Stefan. She thinks it's a phrase spoken from kindness (no, but who are they and how did they reach this point?), not knowing how kind he's actually being in not spouting off details about Caroline and Stefan's affections for one another. Ew.
A long sigh, lips pursing out the tiniest bit as emotion pangs at her with the contact. These moments need to stop happening. Ones where they're both vulnerable. Damon's always been emotional. Katherine's covered hers up. Being there, going through what she has, it's chipped away at who she is, and she wants to get it back. At least she covers the emotion well, in that moment. Any that bleeds out looks like the faint pain of a wife nearly crushed, a flash in her eyes.
Basically. This is them, setting ground rules. Sort of. Words she won't say. Rules, she doesn't like them. But, she nods. ] I can tell, Damon. Really. And, I know it sounds...crazy for me to say, but...I'll respect what you feel for her, and how it affects your life now. Who you are. I can't really get it, but I won't forget, or deny it, either. So, we'll talk each other up, like you said. [ She promises, without saying so. She squeezes his hand, having kept close too, leaning up, pressing a kiss to his jawline, whispering in his ear. ] You know I'm the best judge of how to get things done, in a way that works for me, Damon, and now [ another squeeze of his hand ] you too.
