Hey everyone! I decided to write more about my favorite VD couple that has yet to happen, but must! This is going to be a serious of unrelated one-shots. I hope you enjoy them!

Disclaimer: I don't own VD or the song.

Inspired by the 80s song "Take Me Home Tonight."

I feel a hunger

It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night.

Are you the answer?

I shouldn't wonder when I feel you whet my appetite

With all the power you're releasing

It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone

Anticipation is running through me

Let's find the key and turn this engine on.

I can feel you breathe

I can feel your heartbeat faster.

Take me home tonight!

I don't want to let you go till you see the light!

Take me home tonight!

Listen honey

just like Ronnie sang: Be my little baby!

Loud music blared from speakers in the high school gym and teenagers danced, or rather pushed up against each other. Although Damon liked being as close to women as possible, he had always rather enjoyed dancing in the 1800s; there was always a sense of mystery attached to dance.

He scanned the gym for his latest obsession: Bonnie Bennett. The power she radiated attracted him. And he was lonely; but she could change that. She was speaking with another classmate near the entrance. He walked closer, trying to catch her eye.

Bonnie hadn't heard a single word Caroline's co-chair for the dance had said… all concentration went towards avoiding his stare. She noticed him take a few steps closer, and she could see the hunter in him stalking her like prey. Butterflies and warmth traveled through her belly. But her mind was frustrated; most days she couldn't decide whether she wanted to use her powers to set him on fire or push him up against a wall and kiss him.

She looked at her phone, "Oh, I'm sorry Suzie, I have to take this." She placed the phone to her ear and pretended to answer.

Damon smirked to himself. Did she really think she could fool him?

He sped up to stand in front of her. "Hi, Bonnie."

"What do you want Damon?"

"Why are you avoiding me? I know no one is on the other side of that call."

Bonnie shifted uncomfortably, knowing that she'd been caught.

"Super hearing abilities, remember?"

She put her phone in her wristlet. "What are you doing at a high school dance?"

"Well, since everyone I have to protect or keep an eye on is in high school, it seemed like the place to be."

"Are you sure don't want to be here to feed on unsuspecting teenaged girls?"

"Oh, Bonnie. I always want to do that."

"Ugh. You're disgusting."

"Oh, really?" Damon said, taking a step closer and brushing her hair from her face. "Then why's your heart beating so fast?"

"You make me angry."

"That's not an angry heart beat. I know the difference. You want me."

"That's definitely NOT true."

"I'm going to prove you wrong, little witch. Come on, dance with me," he said as he took Bonnie's hand in his and gently tug.

"Well maybe I don't want to dance with you."

"I'm not taking no for an answer."

Bonnie knew Damon well enough to know he didn't like being told no and she didn't want to make a scene.

"Fine," she spat out. And she followed him onto the dance floor, catching looks of astonishment from her friends.

After a few songs, Bonnie started to relax and Damon kept the penetrating stares to one per song, and they actually had fun. Satisfied that he had gotten into her semi-good graces for the night, Damon loosened up and let Bonnie do her own thing. But at the end of the night they found themselves together again with the first few notes of a slow song drifting from the speakers.

Damon twirled Bonnie and moved her into a dramatic dip. Bonnie laughed in surprise as he lifted her to a standing position.

"So any more hidden talents, Damon? Juggling, cooking, singing? Or do all the rest involve torturing devices?"

"Some do, some don't."

"Hmmm. Okay. Care to share?"

"Not particularly."

Bonnie gave him sideways look. "Alright then."

They danced in silence for the next few bars, and then Damon spoke as he twirled his fingers at the end of her hair. "So, Bon-Bon, are you gonna take me home tonight?"

Bonnie traced her finger along his jaw and brought her head closer to his. "In your dreams Salvatore." And she turned and walked towards the door leaving Damon speechless.
