Nothing too out of the ordinary today.
It was nice actually having some peace and quiet for once. No supernatural shenanigans, no Bunnicula, nothing that would cause the day to go wrong for him. It was relaxing really.
The siamese cat figured he was asleep at this current moment, as he didn't recall seeing him at all anytime today. It was perfect for him. He was able to read his books in silence.
It had been a few weeks since Bunnicula came into everyone's lives. To say the least, Chester wasn't really fond of the vampire rabbit.
Ever since those few weeks ago, all sorts of supernatural things started to happen. Ghosts, monsters, and whatever else began appearing in the house. Harold didn't mind it one bit, but it terrified Chester.
All he wanted was a peaceful life where everyday wasn't like a horror movie. He didn't like things that were supernatural or magic. In fact, he hated them both. He preferred when sicience could explain things.
Though, despite the fact that he didn't like him, he couldn't help but feel drawn to him. It was like two magnets yearning to be close to each other. He didn't know why, but he didn't like it at all.
It was possible that part of him was actually curious about Bunnicula. If that was the case, only a small part of him would be. The rest of him didn't want anything to do with him at all.
He wanted to avoid him at all costs.
Alas, it might not be possible for him to do so. No matter what happens, Bunnicula would stay with them even if he wanted him gone. It was like he was meant to be there in all of their lives whether anyone liked it or not.
If he could, he would straight up- Wait a minute.
He heard a sound, making him lower his book away from his face slightly. He looked over to the door frame that was almost right behind him. Slowly, he put a bookmark into the book he was reading and set the novel down onto the coffee table.
Chester got up, walked over to the door frame, and peeked down the hallway. There wasn't anything around like he thought there was. It felt too absent of anything for there to be something lying around.
Maybe the noise that he heard was only in his mind. If it was, then he hated that. It made him worry over absolutely nothing.
As he gave a silent sigh of relief, he turned around so he could get back to reading his book. It seemed like it was getting to a good moment, too.
He walked back to the couch and picked up the book he was reading before. Before he could open it, a drop of green goo dripped down onto the book.
Chester's face turned white and his breath got heavier. He was afraid to look up, but he did it anyways. Seeing there was a slime creature up on the ceiling, he screamed and hid behind the couch.
His head poked out from behind the couch. He heard some laughter, causing him to look in the direction the laughter came from. Chester's ears went back as he became angry.
Of course, it was the vegetarian vampire himself. He was up in the air with his bat-like wings, clearly enjoying himself seeing Chester freak out over something like a supernatural slime creature. It wasn't something he intended to do, but it was a bonus for him.
"You!" Chester pointed at Bunnicula. "You can't go a day without scaring anybody with your supernatural crap, can you?"
Bunnicula was laughing too much to answer. Even if he could, it'd all be gibberish, so Chester wouldn't be able to understand unless Harold was there to translate it for him. Chester was getting fed up with it all.
He got out from behind the couch, leaving the book there, and went towards him. The cat grabbed him and pulled him closer. Their noses were almost touching from how close both of their faces were.
Bunnicula stopped laughing when he pulled him very close. He didn't expect him to do that, apparently he was having enough of it. To show it for sure, Chester even growled audibly, albeit quietly. The growl was quiet enough where it could go unnoticed, but loud enough for one to hear if they paid close attention.
"Tell your friend to leave. Now." Chester demanded.
He was about to let go of the rabbit, but he couldn't help but notice something in his eyes. It left him confused and made him focus on what he was seeing. What he saw was quite unusual, it was nothing like he had known before.
It was the very first time he saw such a thing.
His reflection in his bright red eyes was different than it usually was. Unlike how it would be if you looked in a mirror, it was... Glowing? A sort of glow that one would expect if they saw a spirit in front of them. It was a blue tinted, glowing version of his reflection.
It took Chester a bit to process what he was seeing in his brain. Once it registered it was that he was seeing, he immediately let go of him and ran upstairs out of fear. He swore that Bunnicula was messing with him once again.
Bunnicula was left there confused. He wasn't sure what to make of what he saw in the cat's eyes. His reflection in Chester's eyes had a yellow tinted glow to them, unlike Chester's, which had a blue glow.
There were many things that he had experienced in his lifetime, but this wasn't one of them.
He gradually went down to the ground. The second his feet touched the floor, his ear wings turned back into normal looking rabbit ears.
It left him feeling confused. It was something he needed to research himself, as he didn't have knowledge on it himself.
In the meantime, Chester grabbed all the books he could find about the supernatural and dragged them under Mina's bed. He turned a flashlight on and began flipping through the pages.
He wanted to know what kind of trick Bunnicula was pulling on him. As he went on and on, searching through the pages, he couldn't find any information about it.
Chester closed the book and grabbed another. He spent minutes looking in that one, but there wasn't anything he could find about it either. He went to the other books. Same result, nothing about reflections glowing in anyone's eyes.
It confused him a lot. He wanted to know what it was then, if it wasn't anything supernatural. He didn't know where to start looking if it wasn't in the books.
He didn't want to get out from under the bed, though. Chester was too frightened after seeing that in his eyes. Somehow, the way of how the reflection looked wasn't the only thing that scared him. He couldn't figure out on what other ways that it could've scared him.
Now that he thought about it, he felt a sense of familiarity in Bunnicula's eyes. It was if he had known him his whole life, or even longer, as impossible as that sounded.
It wasn't possible, he only knew him for a few weeks. How he got that out from looking into his eyes was beyond him.
Chester shook it off as it was probably nothing.
"Oh hi, Chester! What are you doing here under the bed?" Harold asked.
This made Chester jump, as he didn't expect Harold to show up.
"I'm hiding under here because of Bunnicula!" Chester told him. "I've had enough of the supernatural stuff he does! That eye reflection was the last-"
"Eye reflection?" Harold interrupted with curiosity, wanting to know what he was talking about.
"I looked in his eyes and he was pulling some sort of trick where my reflection was blue and glowing!" Chester said, getting annoyed at this point.
Harold put his paw up to his face as he gasped. "That wasn't anything supernatural, Chester, he's your twin flame!"
"A what now?"
"Your twin flame!" Harold repeated enthusiastically. "You don't know what a twin flame is?"
"No, and I don't care to know about twin flames or soulmates or whatever you want to call it." Chester took the bed sheets and put it down. "Besides, they're not scientifically true, they're things that people make up to give people hope when finding that 'perfect' someone."
"No they're not, Chester, it's true!" Harold said. "How else would you explain what you saw? And twin flames and soulmates are different, they're not the same."
"If it's not supernatural, then there's gotta be a scientific explanation." Chester said.
Harold frowned. "Look it up if you don't believe me."
"I'm not getting out from under the bed. Anything supernatural could be there- Harold, what are you doing?"
Harold gently grabbed the back of Chester's neck with his mouth. He then proceeded to drag him out from underneath the bed. Chester fought with him to stay under, although he didn't succeed in fighting back.
The dog put Chester in the computer chair. Harold went to the side of the chair, wagging his tail with enthusiasm. Chester rolled his eyes as he pulled Google up. He might as well prove the stupid dog wrong.
He typed in 'glow in the reflection of other people's eyes' in the search bar. The results were all pointing to twin flames. Well, most of them anyways, some of the results were people asking about it. He clicked one of the sites, looked for the section he wanted to know about, and began reading.
Paragraph after paragraph, he was beginning to believe that maybe it was relating to twin flames. His feeling of being skeptical was still there, though. There was no way Bunnicula, of all people, could be his twin flame nor could it be an actual thing.
After reading it all, he closed the browser. He decided to do some more research on 'twin flames' later, even if he didn't fully believe in such a thing. Any logical sounding answer would be better than unbelievable ones, or no answers at all.
But for now, he'd deny anything about it. He wanted to know more before he could come to a conclusion.
He looked at Harold, who was staring at him with hope and glee. He crossed his arms as he looked at him with what seemed like annoyance and disbelief. Chester wasn't really annoyed, but sometimes his face liked to show emotions he wasn't really feeling.
"I still don't believe in it." Chester said, turning the computer off.
He got out of the chair, grabbed a book, and went under the bed once again. Harold followed him, but he was stopped by Chester.
"If you don't mind, I'll be wanting some alone time hiding under here reading my books." He said, already opening a book and beginning to read it.
"You can't stay under there forever! You have to eat and use the litter box and everything!" Harold protested.
"Watch me." Chester said without looking away from the book.
Figuring that he wouldn't be able to get him out anytime soon, Harold left him be. The minute he left the room, Chester peeked from underneath the bed and looked at the computer.
There was more that he needed to know about twin flames. The eyes were definitely a way of knowing if two people were twin flames. It made him become very curious about it, one he could describe as a morbid curiosity, if Bunnicula really was his other flame, which he hoped he wasn't.
He only wanted to know what the hell all of this was.
Bunnicula was going through everything he could find.
He was on the last book he found. He was doing everything he could to find out about what he saw in Chester's eyes. He went through way more books than he'd like to admit, it was hard to find information about it in said books.
Books were all over the floor around and under him. All of them were pushed aside after he was done skimming through them. He was going to eventually pick them up and put them away, of course, but he was too busy to do that right now.
A sigh came out of him as he finally found what he was looking for. It took him skimming through almost the whole book to find it. Carefully, he read all of the pages on it. He read each page twice in case he missed anything.
When he was done rereading the pages, he closed the book. It took him a bit to run everything through his head and process it all.
He didn't think that his twin flame would be Chester.
He always did have a fondness towards him, but then again he liked just about everybody. If not all, then he liked at least half of all the people he had met before.
Bunnicula looked around. He had to make sure it was at a place where no one would find it and take it while it'd be easy to remember where it was. He found a spot and he put the book there.
He then flew back to the other books and put them all away where he found them. He landed onto the ground; that should be all of the books. A growl came from his stomach. Seemed like it was time for some carrots.
He ran out of the basement and went into the kitchen. He looked outside, apparently night had fallen recently. Presumably it had been thirty minutes to an hour from now since it had turned dark.
He didn't think he took that long at all. In fact, it only felt like twenty minutes at best. It felt like time went by way too quick, though it seemed so whenever anybody did something.
Bunnicula looked over to the fridge. He could see that Harold and Chester were by it. The siamese cat noticed him, causing him to grab his food bowl and move away from his sight. He didn't seem to be in the mood to deal with any shit Bunnicula might pull off.
The vampire didn't think of it as much, though, he was used to it by now that he didn't want anything to do with the supernatural. Of course, he always tried to stop it all whenever it got too out of hand.
Bunnic decided not to bother him for now. He opened the fridge and grabbed out a big, juicy carrot.
He bit into the carrot.
A/N: Now, I'm not really one for AUs, but the thought of this one had me interested.
I always thought soulmates, and recently twin flames, were very interesting. I had to do a good amount of research to actually make this one since I didn't know much about twin flames at all until days ago. With the research I did, I decided to use some of it for how one would know if someone was their twin flame as I wanted to do something different from the soulmate AUs you would find.
Of course, there were some things that had to be thrown out the window for one or the other since it might not have worked, i.e. it'll take several lifetimes for both twin flames to meet each other but since I wasn't sure how that would fit for Bunnicula, I decided to make it one-sided where only Chester reincarnated several times unlike Bunnic.
Actually, in fact, knowing what twin flames were made me want to create an AU for a ship. For an hour I couldn't decide whether to make it for Bunnester or for Fiverweed, since I wanted to keep an AU for one ship. Y'all already know the rest.
Though I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. Yeah, there's gonna be more of this once I can think of it. It's going to be a slow burn type of deal, so them falling in love be happening gradually. So, it's not going to happen immediately, it'll take several chapters for the romance to happen.
