Addiction
Author's note: I do not own vampire diaries or Damon but I wish that I did. This is a new story that I couldn't get it out of my head, sorry that I haven't updated any of my other stories but I will soon. I'm not really sure where it will go if anywhere. This takes place right after the last episode left off but with a few exceptions, such as there is no Rose or no new werewolves, no originals or Elijah either in this story, Stefan Elena are together in this story and Katherine is locked up in the tomb too.
Prologue: The Beginning
It started out as a normal night but Bonnie should have known that nothing in mystic falls was ever normal, not for her at least. She was hanging out at the grill with her friends Caroline, Elena and the vampires, which she was becoming used to more often, it disturbed her how friendly and civil she was to the vampires even towards Damon. He waited until he could talk to Bonnie alone, when she started towards the bathroom; he saw his chance and took it.
When she came out he was waiting by the door for her, "Hey, can I talk to you about something?"
"We are talking or was there a specific something that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Yea, it's about Elena?"
"What about her?"
"Well you're her friend and you want to make sure her Stefan gets their happy ever after right?"
"Sure, I do and you want the exact opposite so why would you even be talking to me?"
"We both want the same thing but I need your help?"
"Why would you want Elena Stefan together when everyone knows how you feel about Elena?"
"Because even though I may feel that way about her; I don't deserve her and besides she would never return my feelings anyway, I am doing the right thing for once. If I would have done this before I could have saved myself and Stefan so much pain but I was selfish and self destructive as well but I am trying to do the right thing for once. Will you help me or not?"
"Ok even if you are telling the truth how could I help you?"
"Well you could distract me when it looks like I am wavering on my decision to steer clear of Elena. I mean you have no idea how self destructive I can be. Think of it this way, when a person is an alcoholic they go to alcoholics anonymous; they then get a sponsor to help them when their need for their chosen drink or drug gets to be too strong to talk them down right?"
"Yea and so what does that have to do with me helping you?"
"Well, you can be my sponsor and talk me down when my need to destroy my brother becomes too strong ok, what do you say?"
"What exactly do you think that I can do to talk you out being you?"
"Well you can keep me on the straight and narrow and you can distract me too."
"How exactly am I supposed to do that?"
As luck or circumstances would have it at that exact moment Elena was walking up to Stefan kissing him so hard on the mouth that everyone had to look away except for one guy. Damon couldn't bring himself to look away from the scene even though it was slowly killing him, so he did the only thing that he thought he could do.
He grabbed Bonnie and said, "Like this".
Then he kissed her hard on the mouth, it did cause him to finally turn away from his brother. Bonnie was in utter shock because she hated Damon but here he was putting his hands all over her and not only was she letting him but a small part of her enjoyed it. After a few moments she pushed him away and smacked him across the face.
"If you ever try something like that again, I will kill you Salvatore do you understand me?"
"I was only trying to distract myself like I told you ok? Besides it's not like it meant anything to me, it was only a kiss, you act like I tried to have sex with you right here or something? What is the problem? Oh, right I forgot that about you sorry it won't happen again."
"Just what is it that you forgot about me?"
"Oh you know the fact that you still have your v-card; I mean that is why you are so uptight about this topic right?"
"I am sorry if it offends you because I haven't whored around like you have or like your precious Katherine has. I mean she was sleeping with you and Stefan at the same time right? Did she even shower in between or no? I mean it wasn't like no sick threesome was it?"
"You don't know what you are talking about you virgin. I mean please that kiss was probably as far as any guy has ever gotten with you. Besides it wasn't like that we were never with her on the same night, I don't think anyway because she could have compelled us for all I know. That time in my life is kind of a blur now looking back and believe it or not but I'm glad that psychotic bitch is locked up in the tomb. Now can we please talk about something else besides you being so chaste and what a sinner I am because I never claimed to be a saint?"
"I know Damon you never did claim that but your wrong about me just because I don't whore around does not mean that I never went farther than a kiss with a boy because I did even on a dare."
With that Bonnie began to walk away from Damon but he followed after her.
"Well are you going to help me with my problem or not?"
"I don't know because the help that you seek I don't think that I could give or that I even want to give it. Besides isn't there someone else, I mean can't you just compel some poor girl and use her to forget about Elena?"
"No that wouldn't ever work because some random girl would never really know me or what I am capable of either; the way you do, that is why it has to be you. So will you help me to stay away from Elena or not?"
"Fine I will try to help you but first I am going to lay down some ground rules?"
"Fine what are the stupid rules, so I will know what order to break them in?"
"First if you break them then our deal is null and void, second no touching me at all unless I give you permission to do so, also no telling anyone about that kiss because I have a reputation to uphold. Third you are not to mention my virginity as joke or in passing in anyway either because it is none of your business. Sex may be a crude joke to you but I don't find any of you sexual innuendoes to be funny at all. If you agree to my terms I will consider helping you to stay away from Elena Stefan, do you agree?"
"Fine, I agree for now but that does not mean that I won't slip up now and then I am a work in progress you know."
"We have a deal then and Damon you are more like a walking disaster."
"Yea about our deal I want to renegotiate; I'll stop asking things about why you're a virgin if you tell me honestly why you are a virgin?"
"Well why do you even care?"
"Just curious, I mean you're hot and all of your friends have done it so why didn't you?"
"Fine if you want a real answer, I guess because I've never been in love before."
"Wrong, I said to tell the truth well?"
"Fine ok, I guess that I never had sex because I never loved anyone that ever returned my feelings too. I mean I wanted it to be making love and not just sex."
"Oh so you have been where I am before then?"
"In a manner of speaking I guess I have but the difference between us, I would never tell anyone how I felt because I knew that it wouldn't change anything, especially since he loves another."
"Hmm, let me guess Elena or Caroline was his girlfriend?"
"I'll never tell besides it is a moot point anyway, I gave up on him a long time ago, we were never going to be together like that, I understand it better now. Besides we are much better friends and my school girl crush on him is gone now, which is all it really was anyway."
"I bet I can guess who the guy was, let me see it can't be that Tyler kid cause you hardly even look at him, so that only leaves Matt and Stefan which is it?"
"None of your business that's who it is, besides I told you that it is over with and it would never ever happen between us."
"I know that it can't be Stefan so that only leaves Matt then right?"
"Why can't it be Stefan that I was secretly crushing on? I mean he is a quite good looking if you asked me."
"Stefan please you can't be serious you would never want my little brother, do you?"
"I'll never tell you."
"Oh come on now you have to tell me or I will just have to go and tell Stefan that you think he is hot then, well?"
"Fine I will tell you but only if you promise me that you will never ever tell anyone ok?"
"Fine I will not tell anyone but who is it?"
"Your right it is not Stefan, it is Matt, I've liked him since kindergarten almost but he was always stuck on Elena then and now it's Caroline but he would never see me that way ever."
"I don't see why not, I mean him Caroline don't really have much of a future if you ask me anyway."
"It could never happen just drop it and tell me how I can help you?"
"Fine you can start by giving me your cell number so I can reach you at anytime ok?"
She gives it to Damon and they part ways, she thinks that is the last that she has heard of him until later that night. It is almost midnight when her cell phone begins to ring.
"Hello?"
"It's me, I need you because I feel like doing something stupid, and can you come over?"
"Damon it is almost midnight, are you crazy?"
"No but ever since they got back together, they have been doing it like rabbits and it is driving me crazy. It makes me want to go do something stupid, so you either come over here or I'm coming over there, which is it?"
"You can't come over here because I'm not going to invite you inside my house and I can't come over there for obvious reasons so what do you suggest we do? Do you really need my assistance tonight?"
"Yes, I do, I have an idea meet me outside your house now ok?"
"Fine I will see you in a minute."
She went downstairs outside on her porch and Damon appeared almost out of nowhere, which scared Bonnie to death not that she would ever admit it though.
"What took you so long? Did you have to sneak past your dad?"
"No he's gone again for the week why? Where are we going to go?"
"I have an idea, I really need you to stay with me all night but going back to the manor is not a good idea. So I figured we could go to a motel it is just outside of town, come on?"
"What are you talking about; I'm not spending the night with you in some seedy motel room, are you crazy? I mean what will people say? I have school tomorrow too, how will I get there?"
"Calm down, I won't try anything but if I go back home alone, I know that I will do something to my brother, please help me? No one will know and I'll bring you back here in the morning ok?"
"Fine but one wrong move and I'm so out of there ok?"
"Ok, I promise that I will be a perfect gentleman ok?"
"Let's just go before I change my mind."
She agreed against her better judgment; and then they got into his car and made their way towards this rundown motel off of the old highway. It seemed that Damon knew the place well enough, too well for Bonnie's sake. He checked them in as newlyweds, under the name Mr. Mrs. Dracula, he thought it was funny; he always used aliases that had some connection to old vampire movies or books. It was how Stefan always found out where he was at too.
They settled in and Bonnie found a marathon of old black white vampire movies on; she convinced Damon to watch them with her. They vegged out on the floor with all the pillows and the snacks from the vending machine outside as they watched the movies; it was getting really late Bonnie started to yawn because she was tired.
Damon got up went towards the bathroom and he came back with one of his t-shirts, he handed it her and said, "Here you can sleep in this if you want to ok?"
"No thanks, I'm not going to wear your clothes to bed; I don't want to smell like you."
"Oh come on, this is a clean shirt, forget it be uncomfortable if you want to."
"Fine but why didn't you just bring a shirt of Stefan's instead for me to wear?"
"Yea, like his clothes would fit you, when they are so small like him."
"Fine just give me the shirt already."
She takes his shirt and goes into the bathroom to change. She comes out and sits on the floor next to Damon; she doesn't even realize that she has been holding his hand most of the night but he does. After half of one bad vampire movie Bonnie falls asleep in Damon's arms, he picks her up and carries her to the bed. She doesn't wake up again until morning; Damon gets into bed with her, wearing only his boxers. Morning comes way too soon for them both. When Bonnie wakes up she notices how she is all tangled up with another person but it takes a minute to realize that it is Damon.
"What? Who? Where am I? Oh now I remember, in a seedy motel with you and what did I tell you about touching me Salvatore?"
"Well if you will notice that I wasn't touching you but you were doing all the touching in your sleep."
"How did we end up in bed together?"
"You don't remember last night?"
"Yes we were watching bad vampire movies but how did we get in this bed?"
"Oh I carried you in here after you fell asleep in my arms."
"I most certainly did not do that and please tell me that you are not naked under there?"
"Why would you want me to be naked?"
"No of course not I don't want you to be naked, don't be dense Damon."
"To answer your question no see, I am not completely naked."
She was relieved to see the Damon did indeed have some clothing on. Damon got up to take a shower, Bonnie was going to put her clothes back on but then she realized that she left them in the bathroom last night so she would have to wait until Damon was done.
All of a sudden there was a knock at the door, Damon yells out to her, "Get the door it's only your breakfast that I ordered for you, eggs, toast and orange juice ok?"
"Fine, I'll get it."
She opened the door but it was Stefan instead. She didn't know who was more surprised her or Stefan.
"Bonnie what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here Stefan?"
"Well actually I was looking for my brother, is he here?"
Before Bonnie could think of an excuse to tell him Damon walked out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel around his hips.
"Hey they didn't forget anything right?"
Stefan just stared at the both of them in shock; I mean it couldn't be what he thought because they hated each other but yet here they both were in a motel room barely dressed with each other, so what other conclusion could he jump to?
"Damon please tell me that this isn't what it looks like?"
He went over to Bonnie and started putting his hands all over her and said, "Well what do you think? We spent the night together and shared that bed, so use your imagination as to what happened last night Stefan…"
Bonnie tried to convince Stefan that Damon was a liar but he stormed out because he didn't want to here anymore of what either of them had to say.
"I can't believe that you did that, do you know what he thinks happened between us?"
"Yea, so what, the look on Saint Stefan's face was priceless and so worth it too."
"Yea well what if he tells someone about this then what?"
"He won't tell anyone because that is not who he is, don't you know my brother at all?"
"Even if he doesn't tell anyone, I don't want Stefan to be thinking that I had sex with you ok? I do have a reputation you know."
"Why would you care if my brother thinks that we had sex? I mean you don't like him in that way do you?"
"No it's not about that, not everyone is like you Damon. I actually respect his opinion of me and I don't want him to think that I would do that especially after everything that you have done to this town and to me personally ok?"
"Fine but I'm not telling Stefan the truth and neither are you either, trust me its better this way."
"Fine but this can't happen again, I am never staying the night in a gross motel with you again, and we have to come up with a better plan ok?"
"What exactly do you suggest that we do? I mean you won't come to my house and you won't let me inside your house right?"
"I will revisit the idea of inviting you into my house but first some more ground rules ok?"
"Fine what are the new rules then?"
"Ok first you can never come into my house when I'm not home. Second if I tell you to leave you have to leave, no questions asked. Third you can't tell anyone about this arrangement and yes that does include Stefan. Fourth you must have on clothes at all times when you are in my house, matter of fact go get dressed now?"
"Why is my being nearly naked making you hot?"
He came really close to her and pushed his whole body even closer to her but she pushed him away and said, "Please in your dreams but I don't want anyone else to think that there is anything going on between us though. So do you agree to my terms then?"
"Yes, I agree, so when are you going to invite me into your house?"
"Soon but not today though, oh my god what time is it? I have to get to school on time?"
"Don't worry it is only 6 am we have some time, go get dressed and I'll take you home to change ok?"
"Fine but I better not be late though."
He takes her home and waits for her to change outside her house. She starts to freak out because she realizes that she lost her bracelet somewhere between her house and Damon's car but she doesn't really have time to look for it though.
"I'm telling you I know that I was wearing it in your car, just please look for it and call me if you find it ok?"
"Fine but I am telling you that you must have lost it in your house though. Do you need a ride to school?"
"No I have my car so bye, your services are no longer required ok?"
"Wow, you made me sound like I was an escort service that you no longer need."
"You know that is not how I meant it to sound; god is your mind always in the gutter?"
"Yea, pretty much it is. Well, I'll see you later then Bennett right?"
"Yea, I guess maybe you will."
It seemed weird to both of them because they began to hang out together to keep him away from Elena Stefan but now it seemed almost like they were friends and it seemed like Damon was flirting with her and not only did it not gross her out but she was flirting back. They both were very surprised by this change of events because they used to hate each other but now something was happening and whatever it was it was happening to the both of them. What neither of them realized as they were leaving; someone was watching them from afar and he didn't like what he saw either.
