A/N: This obviously doesn't follow canon. In this, Liz survives thanks to Bonnie's magic and the mama Salvatore storyline won't be included since I didn't know of it when I thought this story up and it doesn't go together with it anyways . . . Thanks for reading and sorry for taking so long to update!

Bonnie was starting to regret bringing the Cure with her. Kai had spent most of the afternoon in the Boarding House bugging everyone about it and she was fed up with him. When questioned about his reasons, Kai only spoke vaguely . . .

Damon finally managed to throw him out and the house was peaceful again. Stefan took off to be with Caroline, leaving the two of them alone.

Bonnie rubbed her temples, Kai gave her headaches, she still wasn't buying his nice guy act and his intentions . . .

"I don't like him but Kai's smart, he knows there's no way you'd leave the Cure behind, especially with all the vampire friends you've got"

"I know. . . So what's for dinner?" Bonnie perked up a bit.

"For someone who always badmouths my cooking, you actually seem to like it!"

"In your dreams Salvatore!"

Damon let that one pass. He didn't mind cooking for Bonnie he actually liked it but thanks to Kai he had no time to prepare something.

"I think we have to go out somewhere . . . "

Bonnie felt her heart racing a little bit, she knew he probably didn't mean it as a date but the thought crossed her mind and in reality she didn't hate the idea.

They were eating in silence at the Grille, a place they knew well, it wasn't exactly the best place for a date but they were together, the feeling was great and overshadowed their surroundings.

Damon suggested going to the movies and Bonnie agreed. It was a normal activity that she missed very much.

They watched a comedy, it wasn't bad but Bonnie began feeling sleepy and dozed off a couple of times. Damon pinched her lightly to wake her up every time.

When they arrived home, Damon considered doing the same since Bonnie had fallen asleep again but looking at her cute sleeping face, he didn't dare to. Instead, he picked her up gently and took her to her room.

Bonnie was mumbling something unintelligible but he recognized his name somewhere.

"What?" He asked, not expecting her to respond.

"Damon?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up. . ."

"Alright" He chuckled. Only Bonnie Bennett could shut him up in her sleep.

He was almost exiting her room when he heard her say "You're stupid"

"Tell me something I don't know"

"But I like you"

Damon Salvatore went downstairs for a drink with a big grin on his face that he couldn't shake off. Bonnie's sleeping confession made him so happy, he had no words to describe it.

Next morning, Damon prepared the breakfast and, for once, Bonnie didn't complain about his pancakes. She was too busy thinking about Kai and his intentions for the Cure, something had occurred to her and she was pretty sure she had Kai all figured out.

"If you had managed to get all powerful and leader of your coven like you always wanted to. What's the next best thing you could do?"

Damon sincerely tried to come up with an answer but he couldn't think of anything. What more could Kai possibly want?

"I think Kai is curious about the Cure because he wants to be immortal!"

Damon shook his head "Bonnie, I didn't put any liquor on those pancakes so why are you talking crazy? The Cure cures immortality!"

Bonnie rolled her eyes "I know that Da-mon!"

"My ancestor created the cure for immortality and the elixir for said immortality. So I think Kai wants it 'cause he thinks he might understand what it took to create the immortality elixir by studying the cure for it!"

The notion was a bit crazy even by Damon's book but Bonnie was usually right about these things plus her reasoning was pretty spot on. It definitely seemed like something Kai would want to do, except for the part that he'd lose his witch powers in the process.

Bonnie frowned, she didn't think of that. Kai got permanent powers through the merge, would he be willing to give those up for the perks of immortality?

"Maybe I'm wrong, after all he did to merge, he wouldn't just give up his powers like that "

Bonnie shook her head, exasperated.

Damon looked intently at her. He didn't want an immortal Kai walking around, but an immortal Bonnie? That was a different story.

He knew Silas lost his witch powers when he took the immortality elixir made by Qetsiyah but Bonnie could probably perfect that. Make one that didn't have those side effects, she had already experimented with a cure for Liz that worked pretty well. Bonnie had amazing power, she could do this he was sure but why would she want it? He wanted her for all eternity, would she ever want the same?

"Hey Damon! Wake up! What do you think?"

"Actually, I think you are not wrong Bon. Maybe Kai thinks he can keep his powers and be immortal. The guy wants it all!"

Damon tried his best to be cool about the way he spoke. He didn't want Bonnie to notice this was something he wanted for her, not something about Kai.

Bonnie perked up at his words. His theory fitted with hers perfectly and she was pretty sure Kai couldn't pull it off, the guy didn't even know the spell to escape the prison world.

"Damon, you're a genius!"

He smirked at her.

"So it's not a problem anymore? The guy is no Bonnie Bennett, he can't do it. . . "

Bonnie's green eyes widened with realization. Kai couldn't do it but she could. She could be immortal. . . and still be a witch.

"Damon, I can't. That's cheating!"

"Pfff Bonnie, most of your friends are already cheating, they're vampires!"

"They didn't exactly ask for it!"

"I know, I know. Neither did I. Well, I did, to be with Katherine, but in the end I didn't want to . . . Ugh you know the story Bonnie!"

"Why do you even want me to be immortal?"

It was an obvious question but Damon wasn't ready to answer it yet.

"Just forget it!"

With that the vampire sped out of the kitchen while Bonnie yelled something about him being immature. The witch followed him to his bedroom, demanding answers.

"This isn't cute Damon! Don't act like a baby at your age!"

"I'm not acting like a baby!" He yelled back.

Bonnie tried to open the door but Damon had locked it. She used her magic to unlock it.

"Oh! For that you don't mind cheating!" He accused her.

"Stop it Damon! Can't you act normal for five seconds and tell me what's going on?"

"What do you want me to say? That I don't want to be without you? That I'm afraid of losing you?"

Bonnie smiled, she leaned in to meet his lips. It started slow and sweet, then Damon put his arms around her, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss.

"I can't believe this!" a certain vampire's voice interrupted their moment.

Damon sighed but didn't let go of Bonnie. Apparently they couldn't have a moment of peace . . .
