Three Months Ago

Damon just slipped into his dreams when he was woken up when his name was called. He opened his eyes then groaned before closing his eyes rolling over.

"Wake up, Damon."

"What? I thought I got rid of you for good."

"And I thought so too, but you failed."

"At what?"

"Your brother and the witch have met again. You said that you would keep them apart."

"Listen, Dismay, I just don't see what the big deal is. Why can't they be together?"

"I told you, Damon, the longer they stay together, the more powerful they become. The world cannot take the power that they can create, Damon. You need to break them apart."

"And what if I don't? Huh. My brother was the happiest he's been with her ever since Taylor died and I can't take that stupid, heartbroken, ripper of a brother again. If I take them apart, he goes back to who he was."

"Did you forget about my powers? I'll erase their memory just as I did the first time and maybe, just maybe this time you can actually use that small brain of yours and keep your brother away from the witch."

"Alright, fine. I'll visit him next—"

"You'll visit him in the morning."

"I would love to, but I have a date."

Dismay growled then proofed herself out of there. Damon closed his eyes getting comfortable only to sit up a minute later when the smoke detectors started sounding and gasped seeing his room on fire. He coughed and sped out of there patting his shoulder that had caught fire.

He stepped back and watched his house burn hearing the fire truck in the distance. "Fuck!"

A year earlier

Damon rolled his eyes catching his brother stare at the framed photo of Taylor as he walked into the kitchen.

"Can you mope around somewhere else, anywhere else but here?"

"Shut up. My girlfriend is dead."

"Get over it, Stefan. It's her own fault, she shouldn't have gotten into a fight with that bitch of a wolf." Stefan growled over at his brother. "And shouldn't you feel better? You got your revenge, we all know that you killed her a week later."

"She got what she deserved."

"I know and now that you've avenged your dead, vampire girlfriend, it's time that you get what you deserve."

"Don't say it."

"Pussy. You deserve some pussy."

Stefan sat the picture down on the table. "Don't make me kill you."

"I mean it, Stefan. Go back to the high school and get yourself a young eighteen-year-old."

"You make it sound so creepy."

"Fine. Go find someone your own, human age. It's no fun dating a vampire anyway, you're basically stuck with them forever."

He sighed then looked back over at the photo. "Maybe I should find a distraction. You know, nothing serious."

"Yeah, yeah, nothing serious." Damon was honestly shocked that he agreed but said nothing because he didn't want to change his brother's mind.

He's tired of babysitting him and plus they make a great tag team. "And I know just where to start."

"I thought you said school."

"I changed my mind, we're going to a party tonight. Take a shower, get dressed."

Stefan sighed before finishing his shot. Damon had promptly abandoned him ten minutes in for a blonde that was trying too hard in his eyes but to each his own. He was going to leave but thought that he'd take advantage of the free drinks.

"How did you get stuck back here?" He looked over spotting a girl who he thought was talking to him but since she paid him no mind, he meant to look away, but he couldn't.

"You know how Caroline is. At least she's paying me. I think."

She chuckled. "Well give me the usual, s'il vous plait."

Stefan looked away once he saw her head shifting and cleared his throat. He felt her eyes on him then decided to look over at her.

"Here you go, Bon."

"Thanks," she said not moving her eyes away. "I, uh, do I know you?"

"No, I came here with my brother who ditched me about twenty minutes ago."

She chuckled then looked down at her drink before over at him. "I was just about to go back to the girls, but I could keep you company if you want."

He smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that."

She smiled.

His eyes never tore away from hers as they laid side by side on his bed just talking about life. She was so insightful and elegant and beautiful that he forgot all about Taylor.

He moved his hand to the side of her face caressing her cheek with his thumb.

"You know. I should tell you,"

"What?"

"I usually wait, but it's always seemed to bite me in the ass later. And I think that you wouldn't mind."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you're a vampire, and I'm a witch. "

Stefan smiled. "I thought there was something about you. You usually tell people?"

"Just serious guys I date because sometimes I...let's just say sex with me can get a little crazy."

"I can relate."

She chuckled then leaned in slowly meeting their lips. He pulled away from her lips then laid back as she got on top of him meeting their lips again as his hands ran up her shirt.

Stefan let out a breath pulling away from her lips. "When you said crazy, I didn't think you meant-"

"Crazy?" She chuckles. "You should take it as a compliment."

"Are you gonna buy me new light bulbs?"

Bonnie laughed causing him to smile. "The candles are romantic, though, right?"

"I guess." She chuckled. "I have a question,"

"Shoot,"

"How did you know I was a vampire?"

"This house. Anyone in the supernatural world knows whose house this belongs to. I'm guessing your last name is Salvatore?"

"Since you know my last name, what's yours?"

"Bennett."

"Damn."

She chuckled and sat up, "What?"

"Now this whole crazy shit makes sense. I've met a lot of women in your bloodline."

Bonnie rolled her eyes and hit his arm. Stefan smiled then pulled on her arm moving her in closer to kiss her. "Your skin. The feel, it reminds me of someone."

"Your ex?"

"Taylor. I'm sorry, I just realized how rude that was."

"It's fine. I get it. What happened between you two?"

"Nothing, actually, she died. A werewolf bite."

Bonnie's eyes went wide. "Wow. I hear those- never mind."

"No, it's fine. It was hard to watch her suffer like that." Bonnie moved her hand to the side of his face. "But being with you," he moved his hand to her face, "I just seem to forget."

She smiles faintly. "Yeah?"

He nods then moves in slowly kissing her once. "Is it weird that I love you?"

She smiles. "You don't love me. You just love what I can do, I can make you forget and that's what you love. It's natural, I get it." She rests her head on his chest and closes her eyes.

Stefan moves his hand up her back then looks over, hearing his door open.

"Well, I think she's a keeper."

"Get out of here."

Damon held up his hands then walked out.

Bonnie smiles over at him watching him make pancakes to her request. She was only wrapped in a sheet seated on top of the counter watching the side of his face.

Stefan shakes his head then looks over at her making her smile even more. He kissed her once, but she pulled him in for more kissing him three more times.

"I should tell you," she ran her fingers through her hair, "I'm planning to move soon."

"Where to?"

"New York. I wanna be a designer." She smiles.

"Not a model?"

"I could probably do both, but I like sewing and drawing and thinking and having those thoughts turn tangible."

He smiled. "I'll go with you."

"Really?" He nodded. "Good. You can rub my feet at the end of the day,"

"I didn't say all that, babe."

"Ah, but it was implied." She held up a finger then hopped off the table to fetch the plates.

"You again."

"Me again." She smiled over at Damon as he walked in.

"Are you living here now or?"

"Like I told you before if you want a girlfriend, I have some friends." Damon just rolled his eyes causing her to giggle a little. "Thank you, baby." She looked up thanking Stefan as he placed the pancakes down on her plate.

"You're welcome." He smiled then kissed her.

"Ugh," Damon walked out.

Bonnie chuckled then stabbed her fork into one of the triangles. "Your brother is so funny."

Stefan smiled then sat her on his lap. "He did say something that I like."

"Which is?"

"You should move in." She raised her eyebrow. "I mean we've been dating for awhile,"

"Three months?"

"It's good enough." She chuckled. "But seriously, we can work more on your control and magic and I can feed on you whenever I please," he said against her lips then kissed her. When Stefan told her about how he gets his blood by either going to a blood bank or feeding off a random woman, she shook her head and told him that for as long as they're together, he has to get his blood from her and from her only. He was surprised by her demand and was a little nervous as well but after they have been this way for awhile, he loves it. "Come on, you're never home anyway."He pointed out.

"But my dad,"

"Just leave some stuff there, about enough for a month so you can stay there when he is. Pretty please, for me?"

She looked up at him letting out a breath through her nose. "Fine."

He smiled then met their lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

They kissed again before he let her finish breakfast.


Stefan grunted loudly landing on his back almost having the wind knocked out of him. He breathed deeply then his vision was filled with his girlfriend looking down on him.

"Too hard?"

"Not if you're wanting to kill someone."

She chuckled then joined him on the ground. "I'm sorry."

"No, you're getting stronger, I love it. I don't want to have to babysit you all the time." She rolled her eyes. "Come here,"

She rolled on her side then wrapped her leg around his waist as his fangs sunk into her neck. He moaned drinking more before pulling away. His eyes sparkled. "You make me stronger." He kissed her once before moving to his back breathing deeply.

"We make each other stronger."

"You want some blood?"

"No, just give me a second."

He nodded then turned to his side licking her wound then placed his head on her chest. "Are you hungry?"

"No, not yet."

He lifted his head up from her chest then raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Why do you sound so shocked?"

"Baby and I love you, but you can eat like a cow."

Her eyes widened. "That's not true."

"Babe, you eat like twenty meals a day. If I wasn't a vampire, I'd assume I got you pregnant."

She chuckled. "Well with all the love we've been makin' causes a girl to work up an appetite."

He smiled then kissed her. "I guess you're right." She chuckled. "I mean I keep forgetting that you still classify as a human though you're a witch."

"It's probably one of the things that suck but I don't mind it." She kissed him. "So is it gone?"

He looked at her neck. "That it is."

"I've been working on a spell to help me heal faster."

"Yeah?" She nodded then sat up slowly. She's healed, but that doesn't mean that her blood is back in her system.

"I took too much, I'm sorry," he said noticing.

"No, you didn't, it's fine. I love it when you drink from me."

"Here, just let me," he moved to bite his wrist but she moved it away from his mouth.

"No, I'm fine, babe. I promise."

"I'll control myself next time." He promised then stood and carried her bridal style into the back door of the boarding house carrying her also up the stairs and into their room. "I'll get you a cookie."

She laughed a little then watched him walk out the door. Bonnie stood deciding to look around a little then stopped when she noticed a book on the desk. A journal of some sort.

"You write?" She asked sensing his entrance.

"Sometimes,"

"Am I in here?"

"Maybe."

She smiled then walked over to him taking the cookie from his hand. He kissed her as she took a bite then walked over to the journal unraveling it from the string that was tied around it.

"February 19, 2002." He looked up at her. "I found her. The one who can make me insane, make me question myself, make me weak. The one who does that and the complete opposite. Makes me sane, makes me know that I'm good just as I am, makes me strong. I found her, and she's a witch of all things, but she's my witch. My Bonnie."

She smiled. "Thank you,"

"Thank you. Where would I be without my Bonnie, I don't know." He kissed her cheek.

"I love you."

"I love you more, baby."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her toes meeting their lips as his hands wrapped tightly around her frame before grabbing a hold of her ass kissing her rougher. Bonnie pulled away screaming a little when the lights busted and covered her mouth with her hands. "I swear I didn't mean to do that."

"Bonnie!"

"Sorry, Damon!" She yelled back then chuckled.

"Oh, baby, we need to work more on your control."

"I have no control when I'm with you."

"Yeah?"

She nodded biting down on her lip and Stefan swiftly moved to close and lock the door before carrying her over to the bed.
