Notes: I'm trying something new - 1) writing a multichapter fic but 2) not trying to write the entire thing first. My hope is that with the show airing angst, a need for fluff with motivate me. Plus it's almost Valentine's Day.

Mostly focused on Bonnie/Enzo, but there are mentions of SC and DE.

1: The Lovers

"Ooh, there's a fortune teller." Caroline escapes from Stefan's arm, tugging on Elena's hand instead, and rushes forward. The tent in front of them is slightly creepy - purple and black, with a gold sign that reads Madame Sybil's Readings. Both girls slip under the flap.

Bonnie sighs loudly, but Stefan shrugs. "C'mon. Can't hurt." He quickly follows.

Bonnie looks at the two left. "Are you serious? I thought we trying to make the movie in thirty minutes."

"Oh relax, Bon," says Damon, a crack of a smile on his face. "We have plenty of time." He disappears too.

And so, Bonnie is left with him. "What do you have against fortune tellers?" asks Enzo, arms crossed and smirking. He's half hidden in the darkness despite plenty of street lamps lighting their path.

"Nothing," she says, matching his stance. "We're just going to miss the previews."

He chuckles, making no move to enter the tent. "I think they're frauds too. Waste of time and money."

Bonnie glares. "Why are you even here anyway?"

"I was invited."

Bonnie kicks a rock on the pavement. "Damon and I need to have a talk about withholding invitations from undesirables."

Enzo doesn't respond. Bonnie continues to ignore him, watching the people walking through the town - many heading towards the movie theater.

It must have been a while, because Caroline peaks her head out. "Just checking to make sure you haven't killed each other," she says, grinning brightly. "You should come in, apparently Elena's going to get run over by a car in the two weeks. Damon's freaking out."

"That's all you needed to say, Gorgeous." Enzo lifts the flap wider as Caroline disappears. He turns to Bonnie, who rolls her eyes. "Coming?"

She sighs and slips under his arm.

It's warm inside the tent. It's also crowded, between the six of them and Madame Sybil - a fairly young woman with an uncomfortable smile and a collection of items scattered across shelves and tables. Bonnie begins to push up the sleeves of her sweater and accidentally elbows Enzo in the stomach.

"Ow," he says, accent cracking. "Watch it."

Bonnie grins, ignoring that he's still standing very close to her. "Don't pretend you don't deserve it."

Madame Sybil clears her throat and stares straight at Bonnie. "Would you like me to read your palm?" She smiles with her teeth and offers her hand. Her accent is different from Enzo's, but just as annoying.

Bonnie grimaces and shakes her head. "No thanks."

"Aw, c'mon, Bonnie." Elena nudges her forward. "We all did it!"

Bonnie glances around. "All of you?"

"I will get very lucky this June," says Stefan, grinning, his arm wrapped around Caroline's shoulder. "And Caroline should say yes to exciting opportunities in the future."

"That sounds like a fortune cookie," says Bonnie, unimpressed. Enzo snorts beside her and she graces him with a brief glare.

Sybil clears her throat again. "Since your friends have already paid for their fortunes, I will do yours for free." She leans back slightly before pointing to a deck of cards on her table. "And I'll make it a card reading instead."

Bonnie hesitates. It's free - but it's still nonsense. She knows this. She glances over at Enzo, who's staring at her. For once, he's not smirking, but rather seems thoughtful.

Bonnie shakes her head. "Thank you for the offer. Not my thing."

"What a waste, Bon-Bon. Enzo, man, take one for the team." Damon claps Enzo on the back and the latter grimaces. Elena glares at Damon but Damon shrugs. "C'mon, we're wasting time and money here."

Enzo looks like he's about to bolt right out of there - but then he sees her watching him. His face quickly turns into that annoying blank slate that Bonnie hates so much. Then he smirks. "I will, if," he says, stepping closer to her and Bonnie wants to punch him. "Bonnie joins me."

She should say no. She already has. But he's smirking and looks so smug and she hates when Enzo gets one up on her. He expects her to say no, to run out, and get them to the movie. But Bonnie doesn't like to do what Enzo expects. So she smirks right back. "You know what - let's do it."

Enzo blinks and Bonnie catches a flicker of surprise, but he quickly hides it. She doesn't bother to hide her triumph. The two sit in the chairs in front of Sybil, who watches quietly.

"How does it work?" asks Caroline, hovering above Bonnie.

"Both of you place a hand on the table, please." They do. "Now I shuffle the cards, and we let them tell us what the Fates wish us to hear."

Bonnie catches Enzo rolling his eyes out of the corner of her vision. She bites back a smile.

Sybil lays down a card in front of Bonnie. "The Empress." Her fingers linger over the card before drawing back. "Pay attention to your dreams and intuitions. You will find others are attracted and drawn to you over the coming weeks."

Damon snorts - loudly - and Bonnie takes the time to send him a pointed glare. He puts his hands up in surrender, but Elena shakes her head on his behalf.

"The Hanged Man." This card is placed in front of Enzo. She looks him straight in the eyes. "It's time to let go."

Bonnie furrows her eyebrows, looking over at Enzo, but he looks unaffected. If she wasn't sitting right beside him, she may not have noticed the slight tick in his jaw.

Sybil flips over the final card, in the center between the two. Her mouth spreads into a wide grin and Bonnie shifts in her chair uncomfortably. "The Lovers," says Sybil, her finger outlining one of the hearts on the cards. "It appears the two of you are destined soulmates."

Bonnie's eyes widen. She turns to Enzo who looks back just as perplexed as she.

Then they both burst out laughing.

"Why is that funny?" asks Sybil, glancing back at the four others.

"We hate each other," says Bonnie, pointing back and forth between herself and Enzo. "That'd never happen."

Enzo leans sideways in his chair. "Exactly. So you've now proven to us that you really are full of crap." He turns back to Damon. "I told you."

Damon exchanges a look with Elena, but shrugs. "Whatever you say, man." Bonnie frowns - he doesn't seem convinced; neither, she also notes, does Caroline.

"You're being too harsh," she says, mostly to Enzo, but Bonnie knows that it's directed to her too. Bonnie just rolls her eyes and stands up, ready to leave.

Stefan slips in front of Bonnie, blocking her view of the table, to pay. Caroline shrugs as Stefan joins her. The four leave, and Bonnie looks over at Enzo as they follow. The hang back as they make their way over to the movie theater. Bonnie notices Elena and Caroline whispering to each other, but decides to ignore it. She decides to ignore a lot of things.

Enzo has always been a mystery to her - other than annoying, she really knows little about him. But usually the silence that hovers over them - the fifth and sixth wheels - is comfortable enough that they can tease their friends in between their bickering. Tonight, however, it's awkward.

"What did she mean by 'it's time to let go'?" Bonnie asks, because she can't help it. Stefan and Caroline are in line for tickets now, as Elena and Damon head over to the food stands.

Enzo glances over at her but quickly avoids her eyes. "She's just some crazy lunatic. It's nonsense, remember?" Bonnie nods, but her arms are crossed over her chest. "Besides, c'mon, me and you?"

Bonnie sighs. "Right. Exactly. There's no way in hell - you and me." She shakes her head. "You're too - "

"Handsome? Amazing? Charming?"

"Rude. Sarcastic. Selfish." She takes a step forward to glare directly at him. "You're a ruiner."

Enzo just smiles, completely unaffected. It annoys her. "And you, love, are judgy, just as sarcastic, and completely selfless." Bonnie frowns and he steps even closer suddenly, and she swallows with his face inches from her. "You're a doormat."

There's so much wrong with what he's saying she doesn't even know where to begin. But just before she can, Caroline skips over with tickets in her hand. "Ooh, are we interrupting? Are you two about to make out?"

Bonnie glares at Enzo before turning to Caroline. "As if. Keep him away from me. He's sitting on the side of all of you." And she leaves them, heading over to Elena and Damon.

Part of her hopes she's imagining Enzo smirking at her back.

When they finally arrive in the theater - they've missed some previews already - they quickly grab a middle row. Bonnie moves to head in first so the couples can sit together and she's far away from Enzo. Just before she can slip into the row, however, someone grabs her arm.

"What are you doing?" she hisses at Enzo. She shakes his hand off her arm as Elena and Damon find their seats, Caroline and Stefan right behind them.

"You'd interrupt their making out if you sat in the middle when you got up to go to the bathroom mid-way through." Enzo sits beside Caroline, gesturing for Bonnie to sit next to him, in the aisle seat.

She wants to glare at him, and maybe she does slightly, but she also sits down quietly. He isn't wrong. That annoys her. He annoys her.

Enzo balances his popcorn on the armrest between them. Bonnie glances at it, then him, and he gives her knowing look. Rolling her eyes, she grabs a handful of his popcorn. She's slightly impressed he doesn't smirk. Instead, he takes a long sip of his drink - also stored in the armrest between them - and turns to the movie.

The previews end, the movie begins, and Bonnie doesn't notice until halfway through that she's drinking his soda too.
