Ain't It Funny

Let's Party!

"Bon-Bon, let's go! We're gonna be late!" Damon takes a look at his watch and throws his hands up in frustration. 

"Damon! What are you doing all that yelling for, you nut? I'm ready." Says Bonnie with a big grin on her face as she walks down the stairs and heads out of the front door of her apartment, with Damon quickly in tow. "Grab the bottom lock for me please" 

Damon quickly locks the door and continues to follow after Bonnie. "Well, I wouldn't be yelling if we had left here about, oh I don't know- *looks down at watch again*- 27 MINUTES AGO"

Bonnie stops dead in her tracks and does a 180 spin to face Damon, who was staring so deeply at his watch he almost ran her down before he realized she was not longer walking towards his car. 

Bonnie firmly grips Damon's shoulders and looks him dead in the eyes- something she's not able to do often due to their 8 inch height difference, but the 5 inch heels she has on are giving her a bit of an advantage right now. 

"Damon, this party is literally in your honor. Meaning you could cry if you want to, you could get drunk if you want to, and you can be as late as you want to. Especially when your best friend is having a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. Besides, you're walking in with me so they'll just think I had you on CP time anyways.", she says with a wink and smirk.

Damon just sighs and rolls his eyes, "You know I hate being late to things, and if anyone says anything about you being on CP time then they're just gonna have to fucking deal with me." 

Bonnie stays silent and turns around to continue walking to Damon's car, Damon follows suit and shortly they're buckled up and on the way to his brother, Stefan's home that he shares with his fiance, Caroline. Bonnie has her phone connected to Damon's bluetooth and is scrolling through her Spotify library, when she finally lands on the "No, No, No, Remix" by Destiny's Child. This isn't really Damon's taste, but Bonnie's riding shotgun so he's okay with it for now. 

Damon reaches to turn the radio down a little bit so Bonnie could hear him when he says, "I don't understand why everyone is making such a huge fuss over this, it's just an apprenticeship" 

Bonnie stops scrolling through her phone and whips her head to look at Damon like the crazy man he is. "JUST AN APPRENTICESHIP?! D, this isn't just any old apprenticeship! You're going to be studying under THE EMERIL LAGASSE! Mr. BAM! Himself! This is a huge opportunity that's being presented to you and we want to celebrate your success.. Especially me, I knew you'd be an amazing chef when you got me right with that chicken noodle soup when I had the flu from HELL during finals our freshman year. Campbell's ain't got shit on you, my friend. I know big celebrations aren't really your thing but you know how Caroline is, she's been planning this since you told Stefan you got the apprenticeship, so just humor us and if you're still annoyed in like an hour then we can dip. Deal?" 

Bonnie's staring at him with the biggest puppy dog eyes, and Damon can't resist them, which Bonnie is well aware of. She holds out a pinky, because pinky promises are bond, and she promises to follow Damon's lead if he's still uncomfortable. Damon doesn't really have a choice in the matter because in the time it takes for Bonnie to make it through her grand emotional spiel, they've reached Stef and Caroline's house. Damon, still slightly annoyed, wraps his pinky around hers and feels better once he makes that contact with Bonnie. They get out of the car and loop their arms in each other as they make their way up the long ass drive way.

"Bon, I know how lucky I am to have this opportunity. Being a chef has been a dream of mine since before I can even remember,  and cooking with Emeril Lagasse is an absolute honor that I'll never take for granted. I'm just... worried. What if I flop? What if I get there and Emeril doesn't think I'm worthy enough to even breathe his air, let alone learn anything from him? I'm very thankful for you and my brother for encouraging me to follow this dream, and Caroline as well for setting this party up for me, but it just seems like there's more and more people who are constantly watching me and will see me if I fail." 

Bonnie stops in her tracks again (she's really good at doing that) and looks Damon square in his eyes and says "I know you're freaking out inside, and you're worried that it's not gonna work out for you. But Damon, I've known you for 6 years now and I've learned a lot about you. One of them being, there's literally NOTHING you can not do. You are skillful, and wise, and you're patient, you're precise. You're literally everything someone would want to have study under them. I know you're scared, but you shouldn't be, you fucking got this Damon. Don't psyche yourself out." 

Damon just looks at Bonnie, and gives her a tight hug and places his head on top of hers. He wants to say thank you but he doesn't have to because Bonnie's reassuring squeeze around his body shows that she knew just what he was going to say. They separate from the hug, but stay arm-in-arm, and walk the 5 more steps to the front door of Stefan and Caroline's house.

---Okay, so that's it then! that's my very first Bamon fanfic and hopefully I'll have more to come! Please let me know what you think and if I need to improve anywhere. All constructive criticism is welcomed! I know I left this in an odd spot but honestly, I wanna make sure y'all are gonna like it. So if people don't think it's trash then I'll do a part two! Also, below you'll see the outfits I thought Bonnie and Damon would be in for the party.
