The Fact is that You Love Damon Too | TVD Edits

In this intense and emotional scene, Stefan Salvatore confronts his brother, Damon Salvatore, about a coin toss. Stefan reveals that he lost the coin toss, meaning it should have been him, not Damon, who was forced to turn Abby Bennett Wilson into a vampire.

Damon defends his choice, explaining that he stepped in because Stefan was hanging by a thread, trying desperately to recover from his latest ripper binge and longing to be the “good” Stefan again. Damon tests Stefan, realizing through their 146 years together that Stefan has secretly tasted human blood again, specifically since the night Stefan threatened to drive Elena Gilbert off Wickery Bridge. Damon took the burden upon himself so Stefan would not have to carry even more crushing guilt, walking away with the heartbreaking remark that he is “better off being the bad guy anyway”.
