The year 2020, Elena and Damon are in Portofino:

"Damon, how do you even know she wants you to visit while she's in Japan? She was adamant about taking time away from everything and we should respect that." Elena was getting her things ready to pack in her suitcases.

"YOU can respect that, I, on the other hand, care more about making sure she's safe, and clearly, she wants a break from her magical, witchy journey, and who is to say this "tour guide" isn't plotting on taking advantage of her magic and"

Elena walked over to Damon and placed a finger on his mouth so he would stop talking. Damon quickly shot her a scowl as she smiled at him.

"I love her too Damon, she's my family, and I get that we should be worried about her but this is something that she needs, and she really does not need any one of us to meddle..if Caroline and I can both be fine with that so can you." She then placed a quick kiss on his mouth before turning around to continue packing.

"If I remember correctly, it was me and has been me to rescue her every time she needed our help, that's not stopping now." Damon retorted as he walked over to stand in front of Elena packing.

Elena was hurt by Damon's statement, but not wanting to start another argument about Bonnie, she finally let out a sigh knowing that this was an argument she was not going to win.

"Fine Damon…go to Tokyo, I'll be getting our place ready at home since we will be staying there full time in a few months while I go back to school.. FULL time." Elena raised an eyebrow at Damon, daring him to fight with her about this.

"Deal, I'll even buy you some sexy nurse outfits while I'm gone" Damon smiled and pulled Elena in close to him.

Elena rolled her eyes "First of all I'm going to be a doctor..not a nurse, so I'll assume this is for some weird pervy fantasy of yours"

"Mmmm and you would be correct" Damon gave Elena a devilish grin as he picked her up and walked over to the bed while Elena was giggling, not wanting to admit that he had forgotten in the moment what she was going to school for.

Damon saw Elena off at the airport as she was starting her journey back home to Virginia. As she looked back at him and shot him a warm loving smile, he thought about how much he had gone through and fought to be the one she smiled like that for, for the rest of their human lives together. He smiled back and felt a pang of guilt knowing how excited and happy he was about seeing Bonnie in a few days. He refused to fly anything but business and first class to Tokyo and waited until the flights aligned to allow him to do so. It worked out for the best so Damon could wrap up things in Portofino and see that the rest of his and Elena's things were being shipped home. He wasn't sure how long he would stay in Tokyo so he had only bought a one-way ticket there, hoping he would be able to convince Bonnie to come home so he wouldn't feel as lonely as he had felt when he was still in Mystic Falls and Bonnie had left for her travels. He knew he should've felt over the moon at having Elena to himself with no distractions, but he could not shake the nagging feeling of something missing and often blamed the moments of him being distracted as missing Stefan, which he did, but he would be lying to himself if Bonnie was not also the reason for his frequent moments of disassociating.

Once Damon had gotten back to their place in Portofino he went to find the postcard Bonnie sent and studied the green-eyed girl staring back at him, ignoring the man next to her that had his arm wrapped around her waist in the photo.

"See you soon Bon-Bon" Damon said to himself.

BBBBBBBB

Bonnie slowly woke up and felt Ewan's arm still wrapped around her waist. She smiled to herself not remembering them falling asleep after their long night together and slowly lifted his arm off from her so she could take a shower. Ewan had been nice enough to let her and Sophia stay at his two-bedroom apartment he shared with his friend who was out of town, while she and Sophia looked for another place to rent since Bonnie wanted to stay in Japan for a little bit longer. The rooms were near each other, so Bonnie made sure to spell the room quiet, to make sure no noise got out that would disturb Sophia for more reasons than one. She slowly walked towards the bathroom when she heard Sophia speaking to someone in the other room.

"Let her have this I will make sure it won't go any farther than it needs to…are you sure he's on.."

"Let who have what moment?" Bonnie asked outside of Sophia's room with her arms crossed.

Sophia turned away from the window to look at Bonnie and told whomever she was speaking with that she had to go.

"One of my mentees.. you know you're not the only witch studying with me" Sophia flashed a warm smile at Bonnie as she walked towards Bonnie.

"Uh huh.. I know" Bonnie responded, suddenly not wanting to investigate it more.

"You and Ewan had a good night, he's cute, but I have a feeling this one isn't going to stick" Sophia teased Bonnie.

"Hey! That's not fair! I'm just trying to have my cake and it eat it too while I can, it's fun being mysterious and sexy for once when I'm not worried about dying for the millionth time" Bonnie joked while also being completely serious.

"Trust me, I understand, and I encourage it! However, we can't stay here forever, we have to get moving soon, I have a friend preparing their place for us in the next two weeks to show us some new protection spells."

"I know, I'm going to freshen up and do some shopping while Ewan's at work, let's meet up for dinner?"

"We'll see, I'll let you know, I'm meeting up with an old friend later, if it gets to be too late go on without me."

"Deal!" Bonnie smiled at Sophia as she walked towards the bathroom to start her shower. Sophia quickly closed the door.

Bonnie looked at herself in the mirror and admired the outfit she had put together. She had on a tight, cropped black tank with black high-waisted pin-striped wide-legged pants that fit perfectly and showed off her waist, white sneakers, her hair was long and flowy with perfectly styled loose curls, and she had a gold chained small black bag over her shoulder. She went into her bag and took out some clear lip gloss to place on her lips. After rubbing her lips together and placing the gloss back into her purse, she ran her fingers through her hair to fluff it up before walking out the door.

BBBBBBBB

It was a beautiful day in Tokyo, it had rained earlier that morning but had now stopped. Bonnie needed a few essential supplies like makeup remover and bobby pins, and then she needed to shop for other items like dresses, bras, and shoes. First, she needed to grab some coffee. One of the best decisions she had made was not to have a phone, if she desperately needed one, she would use Sophia's or find a laptop to log into. Being able to take in the moment as she did little things helped her to feel more connected to the world around her, which helped strengthen her magic. If she needed to track any of her loved ones down, she was able to do some pretty accurate locator spells to send different letters and postcards to them.

She was drawn to a different part of Tokyo today and wanted to splurge on coffee and small bites to eat. Hinokicho Park was one of the parks Damon had suggested seeing, back when she was naming the different places she had hoped to visit on her travels. She saw the Ritz Carlton in Tokyo was close to the park and opted to grab a bite to eat and coffee there. Once she sat down, she still had a feeling of being pulled to something or someone but decided to ignore it. To take up the time she had asked for a pen so she could doodle on her napkin and found herself drawing roses.

"Excuse me miss; this was ordered for you from a gentleman at the bar on the 45th floor." The waiter sat down a plate of pancakes in front of Bonnie.

"Uhm, thank you." Bonnie smiled up at the waiter and quickly looked back down at the plate of pancakes with a confused look.

"No way, absolutely not" Bonnie muttered to herself.

Bonnie did not want to believe that the person she suspected somehow found her in Tokyo, she knew she could track him to confirm her suspicions but did not want to. She stubbornly took her time eating her pancakes and drinking her coffee and after paying asked for the nearest bathroom so she could freshen up.

She looked in the mirror and reapplied her lip gloss and dabbed perfume on her neck and wrists, rolling her eyes that she was even freshening up to begin with. After a quick look in the mirror and playing with her hair to see how she wanted it to fall, whether it was pulled to one side, pulled to both, and falling behind her, she opted to just let it fall after running her fingers through it. She took one more deep breath before walking out of the bathroom towards the elevators. Once she got in, she wanted to turn around and continue with the plans she had for the day, but she couldn't fight the nagging feeling of just going up there. She pressed the 45th button and took deeper breaths as it went through the different floors, once it stopped and got to the floor she wanted, she made her way to the bar and saw a familiar figure sitting at the bar in a leather jacket.

"Wow, this takes stalking to a whole new level," Bonnie said in an accusatory tone as she sat down next to the familiar friend.

"You better hope I don't have a box of old toenail clippings and underwear" the friend responded with a smirk.

"You're disgusting..AND now extremely creepy" Bonnie retorted.

"I'll have what he's having thank you so much!" Bonnie told the bartender, when they walked over after she sat down.

"Seriously Damon, you need to explain.. now" Bonnie's eyes narrowed as she looked at him waiting for a response.

"Wow, so judgy and rude! I hope you know I paid a lot of money to have the bar open earlier to accommodate your drinking habits" Damon smiled devilishly.

Bonnie rolled her eyes while sighing and took a sip of the drink in front of her.

"Okay, is it such a terrible idea that I might have missed my best friend and the best ramen? Two birds, one stone." Damon took a swig of his bourbon.

"As my best friend you should have known that I would've seen you later this year around the holidays and didn't need to barge you're way through my boundaries.. again.. because even as a human you have little to no impulse control"

"See, I knew you would say something like that, but you forget to remember that you don't have a phone and if you did you would know I was making a pit stop in Tokyo on my way back home. You are the one that is somehow at this hotel the day I check in, I just so happen to have seen you before you saw me"

"Is Elena here with you?" Bonnie asked looking around the bar.

"Nope." Damon responded emphasizing the p.

"You came by yourself?"

"Yup."

"Okay, how long are you staying?"

"Maybe one day, maybe 100 I don't really know" Damon looked at his drink not wanting to see how frustrated Bonnie inevitably was at this point.

"Damon" Bonnie said with a serious tone.

"What?! You knew who I was when you decided to be my best friend, that's your fault, not mine, and I really do not need to explain myself to people who take random pictures with strangers." Damon scrunched up his face not wanting to directly ask about the guy in the picture.

Bonnie finally started to laugh.

"Ah okay, I see what this is now, Damon Salvatore are you jealous?" Bonnie continued to laugh.

"What is he like 18? Barely?"

"Funny, he's 26, any other questions?" Bonnie inquired.

"Okay I am already bored of these questions; I did not travel all this way to talk about some random guy that you're too good for."

"I thought you traveled all this way because it was on your way home" Bonnie teased.

"Whatever, what are we doing today witchy? Do I get to meet your misses Miyagi? Or are you going to keep asking me the most redundant questions?"

"I missed you Damon" Bonnie stated with her head resting on her right hand looking at Damon.

"I missed you too Bon-Bon" Damon leaned over to kiss her on the forehead and then gave her a hug.

"Well.. while you're here crashing on my time away, you can at least make yourself useful big spender," Bonnie said as they broke away from each other's hug.

"A naked couples massage?" Damon raised his eyebrows smirking.

"No pervert, you're taking me shopping, and your buying, even better" Bonnie's eyes lit up.

"On one condition"

"Okay? What is it?"

"We have to be at least two bourbons deep."

Bonnie took a deep breath as she thought about if that would be a good idea or not, and realized that it was too good of a deal to pass up and she didn't mind drunk shopping if it meant that they got to spend some time together.

"You've got yourself a deal, Salvatore"

They then clinked their glasses together to cheers as they took sips of their bourbons while smiling at each other.

Bonnie and Damon spoke about the training she had so far with Sophia and mentioned how they met by chance at the start of her travels when she first arrived in Africa and that she had been helping her ever since. She mentioned how it was nice to have someone older and wiser help her to navigate her magic and her personal life. Bonnie didn't delve into much of her racy escapades with different locals as she didn't feel like being teased by Damon. Damon also spoke about how he was still dealing with Stefan's loss and navigating this new life with Elena as a human but didn't want to stay on the subject for too long.

BBBBBBBB

After a few hours at the bar, they then headed out to shop. They were able to get some essentials for Bonnie, and Damon helped to pick outfits out with her, and she always made it a point that they pick out items for Elena as well. Bonnie then looked at the time on her watch and remembered that she was supposed to check in with Sophia for dinner.

"Shit, Damon I need to see your phone," Bonnie said panicking in one of the stores they were in.

Damon was playing around with different-shaped sunglasses in the mirror. He put his hand in his pocket, grabbed his phone, and tossed it over to Bonnie.

Bonnie got on his phone and logged into the email she made for emergencies. She e-mailed Sophia letting her know that she had met up with an old friend and that time got away from her, but she would like her to finally meet someone that meant a lot to her.

Damon was still dancing to the music in the store trying on different sunglasses in the mirror which made Bonnie laugh. Soon after she sent the e-mail, Damon's phone dinged, alerting her that a new notification appeared. Bonnie saw that Sophia responded by saying that she did a locator spell hours ago and figured she had met up with someone and would meet at the hotel she was first located at for dinner.

"Guess whaaaat" Bonnie sang to Damon.

"Let me guess, they have an open spot in the matrix" Damon stated looking at the long black cardigan Bonnie had picked out over her arm.

"Ha ha, real funny jack ass" Bonnie put the cardigan back up on the rack and walked over towards Damon.

"You finally get to meet Sophia!" Bonnie exclaimed.

"Yayyyyyy!" Damon said sarcastically while waving his hands in the air.

"First of all, you look like the long-lost member of the three blind mice in those, second of all I thought you'd be more excited, she wants to have dinner at the hotel you're staying at!"

Damon scowled and took off the sunglasses he had on and placed them back on the rack which made Bonnie giggle.

"I am so excited I can hardly contain it, let's go witchy," Damon said sarcastically.

"Whatever ratatouille"

"Okay, Neo, that's not even the name of the rat" Damon picked up the bags they had accumulated from shopping.

"Wow I didn't know you felt so strongly about your rat people, at least I know what to get you for Christmas" Bonnie teased.

Damon shook his head and smiled, feeling the most relaxed he had felt in months as they walked out and waited for their car.

BBBBBBBB

They made it up to the suite Damon was staying in, they both dropped their shopping bags as Bonnie looked around the suite admiring the space and features.

"Wow, this beats.."

"Your lame tour guide's apartment? I bet"

"Okay I'm jumping in the shower just for a quick rinse" Bonnie stated ignoring Damon's comment.

"Need a buddy? The environmentalists will applaud us for our efforts" Damon raised his eyebrows and shot Bonnie a devilish grin.

"You're gross, I'll be out soon, we have reservations in an hour and a 1/2"

"Whatever Bon-Bon, you love it."

Bonnie shook her head smiling not wanting to admit that she missed this banter with Damon, even if it blurred the lines of teasing and flirting.

BBBBBBBB

Thankfully Bonnie had the makeup she needed for a quick nighttime makeup look and made sure not to get her hair wet in the shower. She saw the clothes she had laid out on the counter and realized she forgot to buy underwear, wanting to avoid having Damon see what she liked to wear underneath her clothes.

"Fuck it," she said to herself as she put on the tight black maxi dress with skinny straps she picked out. She was a little self-conscious at the fact that her dress showed every curve as well as the shape of her erect nipples. She didn't know why she was self-conscious and was able to lay bare with Ewan the night before but felt different at Damon seeing her like this. Her hair still held the long soft loose curls she had styled earlier that morning. Damon had picked out earrings that looked like the dangly gold earrings with the pearls at the end that Whitney Houston wore in The Bodyguard which made Bonnie smile. Bonnie looked at the black open-toed strappy heels they both picked out and Bonnie realized she would need Damon's help with them which made her groan in annoyance.

"Damon, can you please come in here? And I don't want any crude comments when you do" Bonnie shouted from the bathroom.

Damon quickly got off the couch he was sitting on with his shirt off, waiting to get in to take a shower. When he walked in, he swore his newly human heart had stopped. Damon widened his eyes as he took in Bonnie sitting on top of the bathroom counter holding her heels. Bonnie couldn't decipher what he was thinking which made her nervous.

"Can you help me strap these up? I should've done it before I put on the dress, but it's tighter than it looks" Bonnie said with a nervous laugh.

Damon didn't trust himself with any words, so he didn't say anything as he knelt to take Bonnie's leg and place it on his right knee. He placed his left hand on her ankle while his right hand slowly lifted up the fabric of her dress which made Bonnie tense up.

"Shoe please" Damon ordered and held out his right hand.

Bonnie quickly gave him the shoe as she was taking quick breaths. Damon took notice of her breasts rising and falling with each breath Bonnie was taking.

Damon took his time wrapping each strap around her leg, and once he was done, he switched knees and Bonnie quickly placed her left leg on his left knee so they could repeat the process.

"All done Bon-Bon" Damon said as he patted her leg and looked up at Bonnie intently still kneeling on the floor.

"Okay..thanks. I'll get out of here now so you can shower, make it quick Damon" Bonnie hopped off the counter and walked past Damon as she could feel his eyes staring directly at her ass.

Damon got up as soon as he heard her heels walking away from the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it and closed his eyes.

"Fuck." Damon muttered to himself.

I am hoping to have part 2 done tomorrow and posted! Fingers crossed! If not, then Monday. Thank you! More questions will be answered in part 2 I promise!
