(Is that mocking I hear, Samuel? Are you mocking me?
a brief sensation of indignance before damon laughs, unable to keep up the act. this is why he can talk to sam about things that actually matter, when he never would with misato, or stefan, or sometimes even elena. sam listens when damon says he's done, and moves on. no pushing, no sense of you would feel better if you just... damon gets to retreat while still being with someone and that is... nice. in a way he never expected, or would have thought to look for.
affection, comradery, friendship — it doesn't have to be cloying or pushy. who knew? )
