OMG! OMG! OMG! It finally happened!
Honestly, I'm so glad they prolonged it so much, it was totally worth it!
It was perfect!
Now, rant begings!
The whole episode was amazing, every single thing! Well, totally wanted to smack Tyler, he was such a douche bag. But apart from that - wow. What I loved most - Stefan&Damon, the compulsion scene, and of course Delena :)

Now, onto Damon&Elena.
In their first scene, the way they look at each other, word choices, Elena's smile - it was there that I felt there would be some game changer in their relationship during this episode. The way Damon stood in front of her with Klaus was just so cute The moment where
he gave her the keys and sort-of-held her hands was beautiful, cause sometimes the small things mean a lot. The kitchen scene - as almost all of their kitchen scenes - meaningful and epic! I loved how Damon knew exactly what to say to calm her down a bit, and how he comforted her. The 'look at me', 'it's gonna be ok', how he held her head , the reassurance that they will find a way to fix thing - it was so strong and emotional it made me shiver.
And my favorite part - the porch scene (. Once again, Damon is 100% there for her, she comforts her, and reassures her she made the right choice. Elena thanked him - something that was long overdue. She showed she knows how much he's doing for her, and that she appreciates it. Then we have a small confession that matters so much: "i don't know what i'd do if you weren't here". He's a part of her life, an essential one. And the way she looked at him - the gratitude, the warmth, the appreciation, the emotion... And then Damon once again chose to do the right thing - he told her the reason for Stefan's 'betrayal', which shows respect and love for both her and Stefan. He admitted he wished Stefan's choice had been selfish, cause that would lift the guilt of loving his brother's girl. Notice that Elena stood there like she was frozen, I think she was too overwhelmed. And then Damon turned around. After months of not acting (truly) on his feelings, sucking it all up and making sacrifices, he decides to go va bank and do what he wants and needs. He goes and does something that he'd actually have reason to feel guilty - he kisses her. I think Elena felt what was coming the second he turned around, but it's just my opinion. But she didn't push him away, she didn't back away from the kiss, it was two sided. I think the kiss itself was beautiful - so emotional and beautiful, tender, and yet it held passion. Just epic! I loved how she touched his hand on the side of her neck. And when they pulled away, she just looked at him with such an emotional and yet confused look. And instead of pushing her to admit feelings or talk about it, he left. Which to me means so much - such a contrast with the Damon we saw in the bedroom scene in 2x01.
I have no idea how they will handle their relationship from now on. But this kiss was worth waiting for 2 and a half seasons!

Rant over!

This song means so much to me. Not only it's so amazingly beautiful, but it played in a huge milestone scene for my other OTP - Brooke&Lucas (if you wanna check the scene, it's in 3x09). So it's especially dear to me, and I decided Damon&Elena's first real kiss was worth this song and the song was worth them :)

VOICEOVERS:

"Elena."
"We will."
"Thank you. Not just for this, for everything, Damon. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here."
"You should know this, Elena. He saved Klaus to save me."
"It means I'm an idiot. Cause I thought for one second that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore."
"What are you talking about? Guilty for what?"
"For wanting what I want."
"Damon..."
"I know. Believe me, I get it. brother's girl and all."
"If I'm gonna feel guilty about something, I'm gonna feel guilty about this."
