Witchy

He exhaled, averting his gaze for a moment, fixating upon the oozing wound before reluctantly holding it out. He did not wish to bother his friends, he had learned over time to fend for himself, and in truth, it had made him reluctant to lean on others. He reluctantly removed his shirt and held out his arm again, exhaling as he did. "Firm but fair." He added, tilting his head. His choice of conversation was unwise, in Jeremy's mind, the time that had passed had healed such wounds, but he knew he was unpleasantly mistaken. "I don't know , I am just, not sure what to think about it."

''Jeremy are you kidding me?' she huffed ripping some of his shirt to tie around the wound to stop the bleeding so much. ''What the hell happened?'' it was hard for her to focus on the wound at the conversation surrounding Anna. why he thought it was a good idea to bring it up she had no idea. But she had to try and push past the past right? plus she was happy now, happier than ever with Damon. ''Well are you happy she's back?'' she quizzed. It was very awkward yes but being supportive was what she did. ''Do you want her to be back?''

no matter what anyone says. he wants to cling to that, to believe her. his arms circle around her waist to keep her close, every part of him itching to hold her possessively and never let go. "she thinks everything that changes from where she's from will magically make everything crash and burn. you can't help her. if you see a lost little blonde, you need to turn and run in the opposite direction. i don't want her to get to you or brainwash you into protecting the natural order or whatever." it's hard to carry on with panicking when she's so wildly reassuring in a way damon isn't used to receiving; releases a long sigh, tension slowly ebbing ... albeit not completely. "you sure about that? you've always been pretty pro-ancestors. what if they step in and tell you that you're making a sexy vampire sized mistake?"

She felt safe here in his arms, whatever was outside of that she didn't want to know about any of that. Anything that he thought might threaten them she cared nothing for, because it wasn't going to destroy anything they had. ''I'm not going to change anything Damon, I need you to trust me on that.'' that's all she needed him to do and if he did that, well that was enough. Eyes fixated upon his blue hues as he spoke, her arms still holding him so close to her not wanting to let go for a second. ''I refuse for anyone to tell me this is a mistake, i'm done listening to other people....I don't want their opinions, I want you Damon and only you...no matter what's going on here...or in the future nothing is going to change that for me. You are it for me. It's you and me against the world.'' she reassured him once more placing another soft kiss to his lips. ''Now are you going to stop worrying or do I need to list off more reasons why this isn't a mistake.''

"ok, fine. but i will take his dignity and laugh if he follows us." she threatened, a small smile on her lips as they moved across the bar. "this is suppose to be a girls night. to catch up. no boy drama." well, other than talking about their current boy drama.

Bonnie held up her hands at her best friends words letting out a chuckle. ''And I will take great pleasure in watching you do so'' as they moved across the bar Bonnie motioned to the tender for two more cocktails with a smile. ''It is a girls night, and if it ends with you kicking some boys ass I would say that is infact a great girls night.''

"you're right, that's a little closer to why you dated almost every guy you had before me. thank god i finally came along, huh?" he silently soaks in the contentment in her soft features, proud of putting it there, and skims his nose over her cheek, pressing yet another kiss against the corner of her mouth; kissing her is basically a disease for him at this point, and there's no known cure. "breakfast and elopement? god, you're spoiled." rolls his eyes, smiling against his will as bonnie catches onto the underlying truth there. yikes, he really told on himself there. "okay, hold your horses, cowgirl. you didn't see how feisty she was getting — you know that look elena gets when she's about to be the most stubborn, annoying, uppity person you've ever met in your life? she was gearing up. she was going to hold me prisoner tighter than the prison world ever could until i swore my undying fealty to queen bonnie bennett. it was out of my control." is he helping his situation or simply sounding more obsessed? oh, well. "i'd definitely be up for being seduced into agreement. seduced into making you breakfast in bed, even."

''Oh thank God you came to save me from those horrors.'' she chuckled, he was there all along really if they really thought about it, it was just a very slow burn. A hum passing her lips as he kissed the corner of her mouth. The feeling of his lips against her skin would never get old, each touch sending the same electric feeling through her body. ''Oh I know, I feel it too.'' another giggle passing her lips. This was the best part of this the things nobody else got to see when it was just the two of them. When he spoke of elena she knew exactly what he meant she was very stubborn especially when it came to her friends and the people she cared about. ''Oh and I bet it was so had for you to confess such a thing wasn't it? what exactly was it you said to her hm? come on make my head just a teeny tiny bit bigger.'' She pouted running her fingers through his hair once again. The witch just liked hearing how he spoke about her, and how he doted upon her. ''Oh would you now? and how exactly may you be persuaded to agree with me? I don't think it'll take much..'' her fingers running down the back of his neck and round along his jaw before tracing over his lips. Tilting his chin up slightly before she pressed her lips to his once again before mumbling against them. ''I'm feeling...Bacon..''

At the sound of Elena's voice Bonnie's head began to hurt as their argument rang round in her head. ''Why wouldn't I be upset with you Elena? don't act like a day or two will have calmed me down i'm super pissed at you.''

The blood that trickled down his forearm, had laced his shirt, sinking through to his skin of his torso. The wound was deep, but he hoped with his ring, and supernatural hunter abilities on his side, it would heal quicker than it would worsen. "Fine , but it isn't as bad as it looks." A lie, but one to protect someone he cares deeply for , so he feels this is enough of an excuse. He sits quietly for a moment, before saying exactly what he was desperate to ask. "Did you know Anna's back?"

''Not as bad as it looks? Jeremy you're soaked in blood, and you're telling me that it's not deep and a graze?'' the witch rolled her eyes. ''Take the shirt off.'' she needed to see what the damage was before she could help him in any way, but somehow she knew it was beyond her means. Her focus however was quickly moved from the wound at his next words. Anna, the very girl that was the cause of their relationship crumbling years ago. Her brow rose before she shrugged. ''No? was I supposed to?'' Well it's not like she would be excited to see her would it?

baby. the pet name takes him aback, quiets some of the panic that has him in its chokehold. because since when does damon salvatore get baby'd? it's like being on the receiving end of his own affection for once; makes him pull her closer by the hips, rests his forehead against hers for a moment after she kisses him. he doesn't even want to tell her everything — wants to pretend none of it's happening, seek comfort in this safe space with her, but he knows better. she'll find out eventually. "lizzie freaking saltzman happened. she's here from the future, some alternate one, and she's trying to fix ours because we're upsetting some magical balance or something. she's even looking for you, wants your help with it." he pulls away just enough to search her eyes, desperate blue on painfully gorgeous brown. "she said you and i aren't supposed to end up together. that everything that strays from her magical timeline will change things for the worst, whatever that even means."

Bonnie took a deep breath as he pulled her closer, closing her eyes as their foreheads touched for a moment. It might have taken him a moment but he told her. The mention of Caroline's daughter created a shocked look on the Bennett witches face, not to mention the word future. Time travel? surely not. They'd been through some crazy shit, like people dying and coming back, literal hell but this? this was definitely out of her reach. She had to take a moment to take in everything he said, the main part of it being that they weren't supposed to be together, what was that even supposed to mean? Them being happy changed the future that much? Her eyes fixated on his blue hues. ''Hey...this couldn't change anything for the worst. Us being here, together isn't for the worst no matter what anyone says Damon.'' she let out a sigh still trying to figure out what the hell she was supposed to do with any of this. ''If she asks for help....i'll try my best but..'' she paused for a moment her hands intertwining around his neck as she pulled him back towards her to rest his forehead against her own. ''This....us...i'm fighting for it. I'm right here...i'm always going to be right here.''

@thatbennettwitch !

Bonnie wasn't expecting him, let alone him having what seemed to be a breakdown over something. She could see in his eyes something was wrong. Backing up against the wall her breath caught in her throat when she finally hit it. Confusion filling her features as she listened to him. Her hands moving to cup his face as he rambled on in an attempt to calm him down. She had absolutely no idea what he was saying, giving up? timeline? all of these words meant nothing to her. When he finally took a breath after his panicked speech, she reached up on her tip toes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips- another attempt to calm him down. ''Hey...what's going on baby?'' her voice was soft and gentle, her eyes searching his to try and figure out what someone could have possibly said to him that's got him so riled up. ''I love you Damon, i'm not going to give up on this.'' she had to assure him because he needed it right now, she wouldn't give up not in a million years. ''What's happened hm? talk to me we can figure this out...''

"you would not. sneezy's cute, anyway, like one of those kittens that won't stop sneezing and you feel so sorry for it that you just have to adopt it." snickers over his own joke, a rush of happiness making him feel dangerously lightweight, impulsive as his lips offer even more kisses; another on her cheek, another directly on her pout. "what, now you want to move in with me? god, you're so clingy." damon tucks his arm around her waist and pulls her all the closer to show off exactly what he thinks about that half-joking possibility. "we could always run away, elope, change our names. or you could woman up and find a big fancy 'everyone ship bamon' spell, and wham. problem solved." pauses. "don't judge me for bamon, that was all elena."

''Oh so you felt sorry for me and you just had to have me?'' she teased, rolling her eyes slightly but a smile still lacing her lips. The kisses he traced in places before directly on her pout caused a content hum to pass her lips. Forehead leaning to rest against his as he pulled her closer to him. A soft chuckle at his words. And yet she didn't hate the idea, joke or not. ''I know i'm the worst.'' their little bubble wouldn't be the worst thing to wake up to everyday, perhaps it would happen eventually and she couldn't wait for it. ''Elope? wow at least take me to breakfast first. Bamon? she mushed our names together? this coming from the woman who thought this was a bad idea. I knew you'd sway her round, You must have really told her how obsessed with me you are. Gross.'' she mocked a disgusted look before pressing a kiss to his lips in return to his from earlier. ''Please don't tell me you're going to make me get up today, I vote a stay in bed day. If needed i'm sure I can sway you to agree with me..''

caroline's lips purse, still ready and on the attack on the behalf of her friend. bonnie's negotiation made sense, but that didn't stop her shooting another dirty look in the man's direction. "fine. but one 'innocent' touch and i'm kicking his ass."

Bonnie couldn't help her smile at her friend trying to protect her. She always admired Caroline for that she protected everyone around her with everything. ''I'm starting to think you're going to kiss his ass anyway Care.'' she chuckled. ''Come on ignore him, we'll go to the otherside of the bar. To stop you from taking that man's dignity away.''
