First one shot in a future collection of season 7 bamon one shots.

7x01

Beginning at the end of the "three second" speech, but before they go bad ass on that heretic.

First's

"Just checking." Bonnie mumbled, looking a ways a little bit as the room grew silent.

"I have to do something about the heretics." She sighed, and Damon nodded a little.

"We, have to do something about the heretics." Damon corrected her, his eyes still showing some signs of frustration.

Bonnie had come back to her dorm to rest, she needed some rest before planning an attack on the heretics. After a a few weeks of baby sitting Damon, she felt kind of drained.

"So, let's go." Damon continued, starting to walk about of the room, but Bonnie stayed still.

Damon turned around, putting his hands to the side a little.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"I came here to rest, there are people who run on more than bourbon, Damon." Bonnie told him, with a slight roll of her eyes.

It was oddly normal for her, Damon being there. As he'd said, he had no where else to go. This however wasn't remotely true. There were thousands of other places he could go, yet there he was.

When Damon thought he had no where else to go, he went to Bonnie. Ironically, in this situation, she was his second choice.

First he went home and when that didn't work out because of the heretics, he went straight to Bonnie's dorm.

Damon was beginning to realize that Bonnie was his place to go.

"Alright..." he said slowly.

Although he wanted to go fight the heretics right then and there, he knew that Bonnie needed to relax a little. There was no doubt he'd been driving her crazy.

"I can leave then, I'll find somewhere else." Damon told her, and Bonnie almost smiled a little.

He was literally admitting that she hadn't been his last resort, that he could've found somewhere else.

Bonnie cleared her throat, "No, it's fine."

Damon stepped forward again and closed the door of the dorm room behind him.

"I'll be quiet then." he told her, moving to sit back down on the bed.

Bonnie nodded, moved to sit cross legged on the bed, leaning against the headboard.

"I can't believe they got the entire town to clear out." she said quietly, looking at her lap.

Damon pursed his lips, "They probably compelled most of them."

Bonnie raised her eyebrow, "That had to have taken a while.

"Yeah, if ever a time when Silas would be helpful." he replied and this made Bonnie smile a little.

"We thought he was bad, the heretics are worse." Bonnie said with a chuckle.

Damon nodded, "Not as bad as Klaus."

Bonnie tilted her head in thought for a second.

"More powerful, perhaps. But, more easily killed, and definitely not as skilled."

"The heretics are just cocky." Damon rolled his eyes.

"So, you're saying they basically cleared out the town because of some Katherine wanna bee's?" Bonnie asked, running a hand through her hair.

Damon looked over at her, "Katherine was smarter than them... Maybe, Rebekah wanna bee's."

Bonnie's eyes lit up, "Oh! Oh! I got it... Travelers mixed with Silas wanna bee's."

Damon smirked, "Exactly. They aren't they bad, nothing we haven't technically dealt with already."

"Really, all it would take it sneaking up behind one and ripping their heart out. We could actually end this problem in at least 10 minutes." Bonnie said pushing her lips out a little.

"See, this is why we came back. They couldn't kill a bug the right way." Damon smirked a little and this made Bonnie smile as well.

There was a small silence again, and Bonnie pulled her phone from her pocket, deciding to watch something. Opening her Netflix app, she scrolled through her list of shows and movies until she found a show she had been meaning to watch way back when, it already had 2 new seasons since she added it to the list.

Pressing play on the first episode, Damon turned his head again when he heard the show playing. Bonnie just held her phone, watching the beginning of the show end, and title sequence start.

10 minutes into the show, Damon was turned around more and she paused to look at him.

"Hmm?" Bonnie asked as he seemed interested.

Damon moved up a little and turned so he could see her screen.

"What are you watching?" he asked her, and she tilted the screen upwards more so he could see it without the reflection of the lamps.

"Scandal." Bonnie looking over at him.

"Do you want to watch?" She asked.

Damon pursed his lips, "Uh, sure."

Bonnie scooted over on the bed, making room for him there and he slowly moved to sit on the bed, with his legs spread out, also leaning against the headboard.

She scooted a little closer, so she could bend one of her knee's up towards her chest, and hold her phone there with her hand so they could both see.

Damon eyed the screen once she pressed play.

"What's it about?" he asked after a few second and Bonnie chuckled.

"Watch! And you'll know, here, I'll restart it." she said sliding the red dot back to 00:00

"Okay, okay." Damon said slowly, tilted his head as the show started.

4 episodes later, and the lights were off, Bonnie leaned up against his shoulder and arm a little. Damon was holding the phone now as she had the duvet pulled up to her chest.

"Wait, is she really going to do that?" Damon whispered, staring at the screen.

"How am I supposed to know?" Bonnie asked, giving him the side eye for a second.

"She can't do that..." Damon mumbled, switching the hand that he was holding the phone in.

Bonnie chuckled and started at the screen.

"UAHH!" Bonnie gasped, "She's doing it!"

"I told you she was doing to!" Damon said with the same look on his face.

"What do you mean you told me? You didn't even know!" she smacked him in the arm.

"OH MY GOD!" Bonnie started bouncing a little excitedly.

Damon looked at the screen with wide eyes.

"This is intense."

Bonnie laughed, and Damon looked over at her while she was fixated on the screen.

Suddenly his chest felt a little strange.

He'd never sat and watched anything with someone. Not even Elena. It was a first for him... As a matter of fact, he wasn't exactly a tv show watching kind of person. When did he even have time for that anyway?

It seemed he now did have time, in this mist of everything, the heretics, the 'loss' of Elena, that somehow, there he was... Watching Scandal with Bonnie on Netflix of all things.

Bonnie looked over at Damon after the scene, and noticed the look on his face. She blinked, pausing the show.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asked confused, and he moved his eyes from her.

"Nothing, just the show." Damon lied and she raised an eyebrow.

"No, seriously." Bonnie said taking the phone from his hand and setting it on the bed, the light from it shining upwards.

Damon ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, I've... just never sat and watched a show or anything with anyone before."

Bonnie eyed his face, "Wait, are you actually getting emotional about that?"

Damon's eyes went a little wide and he cleared his throat, "Uh, no. I was just making an observation."

Bonnie frowned a little, "I understand though, I haven't watched anything with someone else for years, not since I was a preteen maybe."

Damon nodded, not sure what to say.

"Let's finish this episode." Bonnie said slowly, grabbing the phone and sitting back to where she was, letting Damon push play.

20 minutes later, and the episode was over.

Bonnie plugged her phone into the charger, turning it off. The only light in the room was the moonlight outside, but neither of them turned the lights on.

"You really never watched any shows or movies with Elena?" she asked, looking at him through the dim room.

"No." Damon replied, and suddenly realized how weird this was.

Were couples supposed to do things like that together? What else had he not experienced before?

"I never watched anything with Jeremy either..." Bonnie said slowly, having the same revelation as Damon.

Damon looked over at her.

"Do you think we've both missed out on a lot?" he asked, and she blinked.

"Umm. I guess so." Bonnie replied, the wheels in her head turning.

"I've never been to a carnival with a girlfriend." Damon said rather randomly and this made Bonnie chuckle.

"Well, that's specific." she replied.

There was a moment of silence before she spoke again.

"I've never been on a legitimate date."

Damon sighed, "I've never met either my girlfriends parents."

Bonnie nodded, "My only boyfriend never even met my dad and he was alive."

"I've never made dinner for a girlfriend." he said looking away and across the room.

Several minutes later and Bonnie was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"I've never just stayed in bed all day with a boyfriend." Bonnie sighed.

Damon looked down at her a little, "I've never carved pumpkins with a girlfriend."

This one made Bonnie start to laugh and Damon looked down at her, furrowing his brow.

"What?"

Bonnie chuckled once more before taking a breathe.

"Your never's are so... simple. Both of ours are. They're things we should have done, things we should have already experienced." Bonnie replied with a slight shake of her head.

Damon licked his bottom lip slightly.

"I thought you we're going to say, stupid."

Bonnie blinked and smiled a little, "No, of course not. They're not stupid."

She sighed and turned to lay on her side, head on the pillow.

"Honestly, it seems like I'll never have time to experience anything simple. There's always some new threat."

Damon furrowed his brow and slowly moved to lay down on his side, facing her.

"You just watched 5 episodes of Scandal, while the heretics are probably drinking an enough blood bags to float Noah's arch, and town square looks like zombieland."

Bonnie chuckled, "We, just watched 5 episodes of Scandal." she corrected him.

Damon smirked a little, eying her face.

"My point is... The towns screwed up right now, yet, we both found time to experience something simple." he said slowly.

Bonnie smiled, nodding just a little and looked down at the bed.

They stayed like this for several minutes, or maybe it was longer, neither of them were sure. However at one point, Bonnie blinked and saw that Damon was just looking at her, his eyes sad.

"Hey..." she said slowly, and he moved his eyes up a little to make eye contact with her.

Bonnie wasn't sure what she was thinking, but Hell if she was going to let her worries stop her.

Grabbing his shoulder a little, she leaned upwards to wrap her arms around him in a hug.

They were just lying there, hugging, half way sitting up.

After a second, Bonnie let go and moved to lay on her bad and look at the ceiling. However, Damon scooted over, turned and laid down halfway on top of her. His lower half and legs still mostly on the bed, while his torso was against half of her body.

Bonnie's eyes were a little wide with surprise.

"Damon?" she asked, but he didn't reply.

Instead, he laid his head on her shoulder, lying his arm out across her chest and his hand laid by the top of her head on the pillow, keeping her shoulder down... His other arm upwards above both their heads.

Bonnie was still confused, but after a second she took a breathe and tilted her hand to hold onto the bicep of his one arm that was across her shoulder/chest and placed her other hand against the back of his head and neck, her fingers though his ear.

It was about 5 minutes later when both of their eyes were closed, and finally Bonnie spoke.

"I've never done this before."

Damon's face nuzzled against the side of her face and nook of her shoulder.

"I've never needed this before." he whispered.

It was so quiet after that, and neither of them were sure who fell asleep first.

All they knew was, in the span of one night, they each experienced not one, but 3 firsts.

It was now easy to see, that it wouldn't be the last time.
