Damon just kissed Elena Gilbert, and she kissed him back (and then went inside and cut off Uncle John's fingers, but he doesn't know about that part). He may have failed at his attempt to do good by the little Gilbert, but all in all after the hell that has been the past half year waiting to spring Katherine lose when it turns out she didn't give a solitary fuck about him and had been free all this time? He could be doing a lot worse really.

Of course, as he walks away from the Gilbert house with Elena's (Katherine's lips) still over his, he is... suddenly on a boat. "Okay. This is... not normal."

Damon narrows his gaze as he stares at the nearly empty deck, makes note of the bar there by the pool. What are the chances the entire last how ever long have been a dream that he is still unfortunately stuck in?

"...I need a drink."
