My reasons on why Damon and Elena should be together

My reasons why Damon and Elena should be together.

As you all know if you follow me, @Damon_girl on twitter, then you all know that I am a big fan of Delena and support their ship 100%. Here are some reasons why:

Reason 1: They have somewhat of an understanding. Even though they don't fully understand each other, I believe Elena can see why Damon does the things that he does. in episode 14, "Fool Me Once" Elena said that she and Damon had something, an understanding. She understood how he felt about Katherine and getting her out of the tomb. God knows if the tables were turned and Stefan was the one in there Elena wouldn't waste time trying to figure a way to free him.

Reason 2: Instead of hurting Elena like he previously stated, Damon tries to help her. Flashback to episode 11 of the first season, and you see Damon getting Elena out of the car and scaring off the other vampire that was about to get her. I know that doesn't spell out true love, but it surely does show how much Damon cares for her and how far he would go to protect her. The look on his face when he was holding Elena was one of complete concern for her well being. If he truly didn't care about her, then he would have joined that other vamp in making Elena a midnight snack. 

Reason 3: Damon would give his life to save hers. We know that Damon is a self-centered jerk, but when it comes to protecting Elena all of that flies out the window. Remember when Elena was about to get shot with that arrow and Damon jumped in the way to protect her but got hurt in the process? Damon truly cares about Elena and won't let anything physically hurt her. Cue to episodes 19 and 20 of the first season. We see Damon picking up the pieces of Elena's heart when Stefan goes out on a full blood binge. She is hurt, confused, and Damon stays by her side the entire time, helping her when his brother couldn't. That was their first step in becoming closer and developing a friendship. Also, in the latest episode we saw, Damon is trying to convince Bonnie to help them. Notice how he uses Elena's safely to provoke her into helping. He could've said that Katherine is a threat to Matt, Caroline, Tyler, or a threat to this town. But instead he said Elena because he doesn't want her to get hurt and he KNEW that Elena is Bonnie's weak point. If something ever happened to Elena, Damon would probably blame himself for all eternity. 

Reason 4: Elena's word is Damon's command. We've all seen how much power Elena has over Damon, not where her safely is concerned, but when she wants something from him and in the end he always gives it to her. In the episode 21, Damon gave Elena the Gilbert device even though he knew that it could kill him, but he trusted her enough to give it to her. Even after he almost got killed, he still listened to Bonnie, the one who almost got him killed, to give Caroline some blood for Elena sake.

Reason 5: They care about each other. Elena cares more about Damon then she realizes, and that really shines through in episode 11 where Damon was on the verge of dying at the hands of Lexi's livid boyfriend. She begged for Damon to be saved, even cried because she was so desperate and didn't want to lose him. Elena can say whatever she wants to about Damon, but in the end she will always have a soft spot for him. Right after Elena cried to Stefan that she hated Damon for killing Jeremy, why did she save Damon from being turned into a pile of ashes by Bonnie when she knew that he deserved to die? The answer? No matter what Damon does, she will always feel indebted to him and no matter the words that she uses to hurt him emotionally, she can never stand to see him in physical pain. That kills her to see him like that more then anything, and that's also why I believe she was lying when she said, "You have lost me forever" because she rushes to save them both when the Sheriff was torturing Damon. She could've just told Liz to kill Damon, but not Stefan since he does "no wrong." But she didn't, even after she said all those hurtful things about him. She can never deny her feelings towards him, no matter how much she wants to.

Reason 6:  They have created a bond that can never be broken. When Stefan was going through his human blood phase, Damon and Elena were slowly bonding with each other. They danced with each other at the beauty pageant, stayed at the boarding house together while Stefan was locked up, and along the way, started to understand each other a little bit better. Elena can see how deeply in love Damon thought he was with Katherine, and when she wasn't in the tomb, she consoled him and said that she was so sorry he couldn't find her. I believe that hug sparked the beginning of a life long friendship, or maybe the beginning of a possible relationship. We will just have to see in later episodes.

Reason 8: Damon will always have a piece of Elena's heart. Even though Elena is entirely devoted to Stefan, there is a part of her that feels for Damon, just like he feels and cares for her. Damon will keep trying, no natter what, to win Elena over and make her his and his only. The only reason Elena said all those mean things to Damon was because she is in complete denial, and she knows it too. Why else would she tell him that he had lost her forever? She doesn't want to ruin the risk of her hidden love for him to take over and end up breaking Stefan's heart. 

My point is, Damon loves Elena and isn't afraid to show it, especially in episode 1 of season 2. He is finally open to her after all this time about his feelings toward her and even though she pushes him away and denies it all, she is lying to herself, to Stefan, and to Damon. The truth is, she loves Damon but is afraid to show it because she might hurt him like Katherine did, or maybe worse. She can't stand to see him heartbroken when she's in her right frame of mind. But when she is mad or ticked off at him, she doesn't care about his feelings and before she knows it, she has taken away a little bit more of his humanity. Damon continues to shut himself off from the hurt and pain but he can't shut off his feelings for her. That will never go away.

Now that Stefan and Elena are broken up, Damon might have a chance to redeem himself in her eyes. Only time can tell but there's one thing we know for certain. They are like fire and grease, always bringing out the best and worst in each other. And that, is what will always keep their relationship alive.
