Stefan is never just going to let him die. That's not an option that's on the table, Damon. Stop making it one.
In a way, they've all lived longer than they should have. Both he and Damon should have died over a century ago, after taking shots to the chest while trying to rescue the women they loved. Damon may have made his choice, but Stefan never wanted to be a vampire, never wanted the weight the immortality and bloodlust sitting on his shoulders. There's a weight and responsibility to the chain of events of that night, because without Damon there would be no Stefan as he is now, but without Stefan, the same could be said.
They all destroy things in their own way. And Stefan was without his brother for too long to consider doing it again - and more to the point, abandoning him to some world that would drive him to near suicide.
