And yet, immortality has only complicated things for the pair.
First, theres Stefans Ripper side, which has put a divide between the brothers on multiple occasions.
Then there was that whole falling-in love-with-the-same-woman-AGAIN thing.

But most recently, its Damons actions that have pulled the brothers apart.
After all, theres a reason Damon has a reputation as a crazy, impulsive vampire.
Hes not as well-rounded of an individual as Stefan is, but Stefan fing did this.
And then at the end of it, Stefan always got the girl.
Elena and Katherine, they all wanted Stefan.
I still forget that.
Its like having to watch a train wreck over and over and over again.
Its crazy what this guy gets away with and its not fair.
While Somerhalder doesnt judge Damon yes, he loves him too he doesnt always connect to his actions.
I consider myself to be very much a caring human.
