Prompt: "I accidentally punched you in the face when I was trying to punch a different guy in the face I am so sorry" (AU)

A/N: a variation of the prompt cause I can't imagine Bonnie missing, especially when Damon's involve.


It's no secret that Damon and Bonnie didn't get along; in fact it seemed like common gossip that they butted heads – often. Now Bonnie didn't like to use the word hate. Sure she's felt so angry and helpless when she sees the old mutt from down the road limping and knows that the good for nothing owner took to beating his dog again – she sure hates him. Sure, she hates it when her Grams goes through her room and she can never find anything afterwards. Obviously, there are different types of "hate" but Bonnie knows she doesn't hate Damon – At least not yet.

It turns out that day came when Caroline and Tyler, Mystic Falls very own "power couple", arranged for a keg party in the woods – cause nothing bad ever happens there. The gang had settled around the bonfire, the night was just about coming to an end a few stragglers were finally making there way out. Surprisingly, nothing quote on quote weird happened but a juicy hookups and hilarious breakups. Even Bonnie had a hard time keeping a straight face when one chic just blew up about her boyfriend's mother still giving him bubble baths.

Roasting marshmallows, Stefan, Elena, Caroline & Tyler huddled on one side of the fire; Klaus and Elijah were packing up the kegs while Rebekah cuddled into Mattie's side. Bonnie was just thrilled to sit down after dancing most of the night with cutest girl – what? She's not blind. Or dead…. Touch wood.

Turned out she spoke too soon, Damon, Enzo, & Kol barreled through the peace – raucously laughing and obviously drunk off their asses. While Enzo tried to sneak some beer out from Klaus & Elijah, Damon plops down on the logs that were being used as makeshift seats.

"Phew! Man, I thought I would never escape from Vicki's claws." Damon announces with a dirty grin.

For some time now, the gang learned to ignore almost anything & everything that flies out of his big mouth but there was a noticeable silence, tense atmosphere which everyone watches how Matt reacts. Worried, Bonnie focuses on any sign that Matt was going to do something stupid (even though Damon does deserve to be stuck in a pot of honey and left with a swarm of bees).

With a lot more strength & control than any other guy in this group, Matt warns him through a clenched teeth, "Shut it, Damon. That's my sister, have a little respect."

"Heh! That's just ironic."

"Piss off, Salvatore." Rebekah's blurts out angrily, ducking a concern glance at Matt as she held onto his arm in support.

"What? Like its any secret? I mean, even Lockwood has had a taste. Probably why she's so unsatisfied."

Matt is up & charging at Damon before she could fully register the shock of what Damon just said out loud. Bonnie is jumping up after him but Matt has already roughly shoved Damon down to the ground.

A chorus of "Matt!" broke through. Tyler pushes past Rebekah and Caroline to pull Matt away for a breather.

"Get him out of here." She heard herself order, stepping in the way of Damon going after them

"Get out of the way, Bennett."

Bonnie crosses her arms and in instinct lifts her chin, "No, you deserved it. And you know it."

"Well, praise the lord that I don't really give a fuck what you think." Damon spoke harshly trying to side step her again.

"Too bad. I'm going to talk and you damn well better listen, asshole."

"For what? Newsflash, Bonnie! Donovan is a big boy and he can fend for himself."

Bonnie pokes her fingers into his shoulder, happy when he winces at the impact, "Doesn't mean I'm gonna sit by and let you call his sister a slut. You crossed the line Damon. AGAIN!" She finishes, breathing harshly.

"That's what I do sweetheart."

"Well, grow the fuck up Salvatore. Soon no one gonna care about your money, or your looks and you're going to end up sad & pitiful." Bonnie unflinchly hits back, and she doesn't regret it.

Not even when Damon's face flushes & he fists his hands by his sides, practically shaking with rage. She's never pulled back any punches, and she's not going to start now. Especially not when Damon pushes through any boundaries of personal space and gets up in her face as he whispers (her nose scrunches up at his alcoholic breath), "I might be a disgusting man whore, a dickhead, an absolute bastard. But you know what I'll never be, left behind. At least I'll always have Stefan, what about you Bonnie? What's going to happen when your precious Grams finally hits the dust and your daddy stays away for good."

Her fist comes up smashes against his right cheekbone and Bonnie feels the bone crack under her force her fist against his nose. Damon staggers back in shock, Caroline, Kaus and Rebekah are laughing behind her but all she cares about is hitting him so hard he'll need stitches cause right at this moment, she truly hates him.

So she's not sorry she punched Damon, but she is a little guilty of upper cutting Kol Mikaleson when he gets in her way. She would've apologized straight away, making sure he knew it wasn't on purpose but at the moment she was having trouble not screaming out in pain.

Yep, she's probably broke something.

"Worth it." She says to herself.

Bonnie lets Elena and Caroline move off to the side and handed her some ice.

"That was…. Awesome!" Caroline shouts by her ear, Elena's quiet but her expression is amused and proud.

Bonnie watches at Stefan take Damon home and Kol's older brothers mock him over by the fire. Rebekah must have walked off to find Matt and Tyler. Kol is holding a cold beer to the side of his face when their eyes meet; Bonnie's ears go hot and red especially when she mouths "Sorry" across the fire.

Surprising a laugh out of her, Kol winks and blows a kiss back.

Turns out when Grams took her to the ER after the girls dropped her home she broke her thumb and her right index finger. Grams is grinning when she had explain how Bonnie broke her fingers, even high-fiving one of the nurses on the way out. She takes a few days off before going back to school, and four amazing thing happens.

Matt hugs her so hard, she's spinning off the ground laughing as he kissed her all over her face. Rebekah and her fists like bros and even invites Bonnie to try kick-boxing with her. Damon actually waves at her when they cross paths at the Grill. Bonnie even waves back. And Kol touches her ass (accidently), she slaps him (accidently) and he asks her out. The kiss that comes afterwards is totally on purpose.
