Hi there, I ship Bonnie and Enzo and I really love reading their fics. This is my first fic ever, I'm not a great writter, but I love this ship and I want to keep them alive. Hope you enjoy this story about Bonnie and Enzo, a housemate AU, all human.
Disclaimer: I don't own these character, I'm just borrowing them.
Bonnie's had a long day, a long week for that matter. With all the craziness at work and being on bridesmaids duties for her best friend, Elena - who's getting married next week. Amongst her bridesmaid duties was planning tomorrow's hen's night (well helping Caroline, her other best friend, plan it).
But it's Friday, the end of a working week, she can finally unwind before tomorrow's big night, because, as Caroline puts it, it's gonna be epic!
Bonnie studies her refection and decides her skin requires some TLC. Grabbing the tube of face mask Caroline got her, she gently applied a layer to her face and neck. The mask looks like bottled dirty farm mud, the stuff pigs roll in, but the thing does wonders for her skin.
Sliding off her robe, Bonnie step into her warm, lavender scented, bubble bath. Sitting back with her arm resting on either side of the bath, Bonnie took in a deep breath and let out a slow sign. She could already feel her body relaxing, the warmth of the bath and the lavender aroma help smooth away the knots in her shoulder.
Her house mate, Damon, Elena's husband to be, is at his brother's place tonight, making last minute arrangements for his bucks night, also held tomorrow. Which means, Bonnie has the whole apartment, and their shared bathroom, to herself.
"What'll be tonight?" Bonnie ponders as she pop on her headphones.
"Who I am kidding, you can't beat Babyface's greatest hits," Bonnie smiled contently, selecting her favourite R&B artist's album on her iPod. She close her eyes and let Babyface's serenade her as she settled further down the bath.
The faint sound of the toilet flushing and sense of movement jerked Bonnie out of her slumber, as she slowly opens her eyes she realise that she must have dozed off in the bath, geez I must really be tired. Her eyes slowly scans the room and she turns to look over to the toilet. Who flushed the toilet, is Damon home?
Bonnie stopped short as her eyes landed on a man dressed in dark jeans and top, standing by sink with his back to her. For a second she thought it was Damon and was ready to give him an earful for not having the courtesy to knock before he used the bathroom. But as Bonnie's vision adjusts, and although he was of similar height and build to Damon, this man's hair was shorter, his posture was different. It wasn't Damon, in fact he wasn't anyone she knew.
"Who the hell are you?!" Bonnie demanded, yanking off her headphones while looking around for something she could use as a weapon.
The stranger tensed, switched off the water and slowly turned around. His brown eyes flicker from surprise to fright. He let out a short but loud scream and took a step back - his sudden scream surprises Bonnie and she let out a scream of her own.
Seconds later Damon rushes in the bathroom, "What's going on, where's the fire?!"
He found his housemate in the bath, face covered in mud, gripping onto a back-scrubber ready to attack his best friend, who was backed against the wall with his hands up in surrender.
"Oh good, you've met," Damon continued casually, amused at the scene in front of him "Bonnie this is Enzo St. John, your new housemate," referring to the dark hair stranger. Enzo let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and awkwardly waved Bonnie "hello".
"Enzo, this is Bonnie Bonnett, also your new housemate." Damon finished with his signature smirk looking between Bonnie and Enzo.
Realisation finally sinks in, Enzo, her new housemates , Damon's best friend who relocated to Mystic Falls from Seattle. Who is also Damon's new business partner, here to help him run his bar while he's off on his honeymoon and also when he gets back. The housemate whom Bonnie was told was suppose to arrive tomorrow morning.
"I thought you weren't arriving until tomorrow morning," Bonnie stated, not meaning to come off rude, but she was annoyed, she was having a nice, relaxing night and, Enzo here, just had to arrive early and ruin everything.
"I was able sort out my stuff in Seattle quickly, so I left earlier this morning," Enzo answered calmly, either not noticing Bonnie's annoyance or choosing to ignore it. His eye briefly flickers to hers then quickly looks down again, making Boonie feel a little self conscious.
It suddenly hit her that she was in the bath, completely naked, in front of her new housemate. She quickly glance down to make sure the bubbles were still covering her bits. Unfortunately because she's been in the bath a while now, the bubbles has since begun to disintegrate, with only a thin layer of bubbles left which Bonnie hoped was enough to cover her body. Bonnie can feel her face burn, she's thankful the face mask hid any evidence of her embarrassment. She descreatly moved her arm and hands to cover her bits.
"Besides, I thought it'd be nice to surprise Damon, arrive early so I can help him with his bucks night," Enzo continues and moves toward Damon, arms around his friend's shoulder nudging him towards bathroom door.
"Well, Enzo, first rule of the household, since we'll be sharing this bathroom , please knock before you enter." Bonnie said giving them both a glare.
"Bon-Bon, in Enzo's defence, we thought you weren't home, I did call out when we came in but you didn't answer, and poor Enzo really needed to pee - long drive and all. And besides, you should have locked the door, that's what these are for" Damon points to the door lock.
"I didn't hear you, had my headphones on and I was asleep, and I thought I had the place to myself tonight!" Bonnie muttered, looking down.
"Ok, simple mistake on both parts, but Bon-Bon, I think you should wipe the mud off your face," Damon's scrunch up his nose wiggling his finger at Bonnie face "you're scaring me with your monster from the swamp look, what if it doesn't rub..."
Enzo saved Damon by shoving him out the door, Bonnie looked like she was ready to launch the back scrubber at Damon's head.
"Sorry to interrupt your bath," Enzo nodded in apology, still avoiding eye contact "but we'll leave you to it, nice to meet you Bonnie Bonnett."
As Enzo closed the door behind him, Bonnie thinks she hears Damon tell Enzo that his fly is down.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this fic. It took me forever to write and I know it's not perfect. As mentioned above, I really enjoy reading all the Bonenzo fics, we have so many talented writters in this fandom and I'm so greatful for their time and energy in creating those amazing stories.
I'm not sure if people have lost the motivation to write Bonenzo fics or if they are just too busy, but this is my contribution, to help keep these beautiful characters alive. 😊
I'm almost done with chapter two so i should update soon.
