WARNING! CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE RETURN: NIGHTFALL! DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IT!

Okay so I wrote this while in class. I have been reading The Vampire Diaries, and I love the idea of Bonnie and Damon together. This will remain a One-Shot, unless I get reviews that want me to make it a full story.

This is set during The Return: Nightfall when Damon is with Bonnie in Stefan's Bathroom after Damon saved Bonnie, Matt, and Meredith from the car crash. I kind of wished things would go better with them instead of Bonnie going all Ballistic.

Paring: Bonnie & Damon.

Rated: T

Disclaimer: Vampire Diaries does not belong to me. It belongs to the great almighty author of the books Lisa Jane Smith. I only own the plotline.

Italics are lines from the book.

And then the swelling thing burst.

There was, to Damon, a palpable if not audible crake as the stone encasing his soul burst open and a great piece fell away.

With something inside him singing, he clutched Bonnie to him, feeling the wet towel through his raw silk shirt, and feeling Bonnie's slight body under the towel. Definitely a maiden, not a child, he thought dizzily, whatever the writing on that infamous scrap of pink nylon had claimed. He clutched at her as if he needed her for blood—as if they were in hurricane-tossed seas and to let go of her would be to lose her.

His neck hurt fiercely, but more cracks were spreading all over the stone; it was going to explode completely, letting the Damon it held inside out—and he was too drunk on pride and joy, yes, joy, to care. Crakes were spreading in every direction, pieces of stone flying off…

Then, the stone layered cover, that had been hiding his emotions—and soul—for 500 something years, since his brothers betrayal and Katherine, fell away.

Moreover, he knew.

He knew why he felt so protective to this little witch. He knew why he felt so attached to her, knew why he called her his Little Baby Bird, why he felt as if she could see into his soul when they're eyes locked, after Elena saved them from Klaus. He knew why she was the only one who could lower his defences, just a little.

Time to face the truth, Damon thought.

It was because he loved her.

Damon Salvatore, who had never been in love for 500 years, was now in love with none other the Bonnie McCullough.

He loved everything about his little witch. He loved how her body and his moulded perfectly together. Loved her fiery red hair and how it always smelt like strawberries. He loved her innocence and the sound of her laughter. He loved her alive brown eyes, and intuition.

Bonnie lifted her head and they locked eyes. Damon felt again, as if her eyes could see his soul. He hoped she could see what he really wanted to do right now.

Bonnie nodded, as if she understood.

Damon, ever so slowly leaned down his head to hers, and kissed her warm, red lips.

He suddenly felt weak. He felt as if he was human again, and Bonnie was the beautiful vampire woman, that made him melt. He would do anything for her. Anything.

He would climb mountains, and sail the seas for her. He would even give his own life for her. His own immortal life, for her human one.

That made him think. They could never be together, he was a vampire and she was a human. Well you can change her you idiot, the part that was still the evil sarcastic Damon screamed at him, at the back of his mind. Nevertheless, he knew he could not do that. Bonnie always made it very clear that she wanted to live a normal human life, and he could not force her. He would not force her to do anything that she didn't want to do.

Suddenly he remembered, a website that had writing only vampires could see. It was about a place in Hawaii called the Shi no Shi. Death of Death. It was a place rumoured that could turn a vampire back into a human. He knew that was where he needed to go to.

The vampire Damon Salvatore was going to become a human again.

There you go. I haven't read anything after Chapter 27 of Nightfall yet, so I don't know if the Shi no Shi was a lie or not. But in this fanfic, it is real. Sorry if Damon is acting way out of character!

Read & Review if you want me to make this into a story!
