A/N: Hola peeps! I know that this is one of the stories that was in my poll, but after I had a certain conversation about BonBekah last night, I was inspired to post this a little earlier than I had expected. Basically, it's a series of interconnected drabbles and one-shots centered around BonBekah, and basically, the titles are going to be actual TVD episode titles. Happy reading!
"You're wet," are the first words that Bonnie Bennett hears Rebekah Mikaelson say to her.
"Sorry?" she asks the vampire, furrowing her eyebrows together in confusion as she has a towel handed to her.
"You're wet," Rebekah repeats, as she watches Bonnie dry her hair. "What, did you decide to go take a dip while your friends were fighting for their lives?"
"No, I just thought that saving my human friend from drowning should come before saving the lives of my supernatural friends who know how to fend for themselves." Rebekah raises her eyebrows at the fiery little witch. She forgot how feisty witches, especially Bennett witches, were.
"What are you still doing here?" Bonnie looks at the blonde suspiciously.
"What do you mean?" Now Rebekah's the one who looks confused.
"Well, I saw Klaus leave like twenty minutes ago. So what are you, still doing here?
"Klaus left?!" Rebekah practically shrieks, moving closer towards Bonnie. Bonnie mentally patted herself on the back for being only slightly intimidated by how close Rebekah had gotten to her.
"That's what I said."
Rebekah snatches the towel out of her hands, crumples it up into a ball, and throws it as far she possibly can. When the towel only lands a few feet away from her feet rather than being out of her sight, Rebekah lets out a shrill scream in frustration. She then proceeds to kick the side of the nearest car, leaving a dent. It takes Bonnie a quick second to realize that it was Caroline's car.
Well shit.
"I know this might not exactly be the best time to mention this, but I wasn't done with that towel," says Bonnie, slightly amused by Rebekah's theatrics.
Rebekah glares at her. "I am so very glad that you find my pain to be amusing."
"I know it's wrong, but it feels so right."
Rebekah rolls her eyes as she turns around to walk away, only to be stopped by Bonnie who calls out, "Wait!" She turns back around to face Bonnie. Folding her arms across her chest, Rebekah hisses, "What?"
"Why are you so upset?" Bonnie asks, causing Rebekah's face to soften, her arms to fall back down to her sides, and her guard to be let down.
"Well, not what I was expecting you to ask, but if you must know, Nik asked me to go get the truck, and like a good little sister, I went to go get it, and then when I got it, he was nowhere in sight. So I decided to go look for him. When I couldn't find him, I saw you outside, all wet and shivering, and I thought 'hey, I have towels, might as well give one to the poor girl so she doesn't die.' And that's when you told me that my brother left me. All alone. Again."
Bonnie knows that Rebekah's the enemy, that she shouldn't feel sorry for her. But she can't help but feel sympathetic towards her. Original vampire or not, Rebekah's suffered through pain and agony just like she and her friends have… if not more! Besides, Bonnie's had her fair share of people leaving, so it was hard for her to not to feel sympathetic towards the blonde.
"I'm sorry." Bonnie gives the distressed vampire a small smile. Rebekah, despite herself, smiles back, something she hadn't done in ninety years.
"Thank you."
Suddenly, Rebekah hears doors being opened, thanks to her vampire hearing, so she does the logical thing and vamp speeds behind some bushes.
With Bonnie in tow.
"What the hell?" demands Bonnie, trying to get up from her spot, Rebekah not letting her do so.
"Hush! Keep your voice down."
From their hiding place, the two girls have a clear view of what's going on. They see Caroline and Tyler walking over to Caroline's car, hand in hand and oh so in love. Caroline pushes Tyler against her car, leaning in for a kiss, resulting in his foot banging against the dent Rebekah had caused. Caroline immediately moves Tyler aside so that she could inspect her car.
"Tyler!" Bonnie and Rebekah hear her screech, causing them to giggle. "You put a dent in my car!"
"I'm sorry Care," they hear Tyler trying to apologize, causing them to try to stifle their growing laughter.
They see Caroline get in her car, and drive away, as Tyler speeds on after her. Once the baby vamp and the hybrid are both a safe distance away, Bonnie and Rebekah burst out laughing.
"Looks like we put the dog in the dog house," remarks Rebekah.
"He's not a dog!" Bonnie is quick to defend her friend, although still laughing. "But you're not wrong about that dog house part."
Once their laughter has died down, Bonnie informs Rebekah, "My friend Caroline will be your first enemy in this town once she finds out you were the one who put that dent in her car."
Rebekah merely shrugs. "So let her."
Bonnie stares at her, almost in awe. "You really don't care about what other people think of you, do you?"
"Just the ones that matter."
Something about the way Rebekah said that caused a strange feeling to wash over Bonnie, once that she shook off by asking, "What are you going to do, now that Klaus is gone?"
Rebekah sighs. "I don't know. Do you know anywhere decent for me to stay at least?"
"The Salvatore Boarding House has four shower heads."
"Boarding House it is!" Both girls laugh as they think of what an utter disaster and shitstorm that would be.
The breeze of the cool autumn night picks up, causing Bonnie to shiver. Rebekah looks at her and says, "You're still wet."
Bonnie rubs her hands up and down her arms in a feeble attempt to warm up. "Well I wouldn't be if someone hadn't thrown my towel away."
Rebekah cringes when she hears this, and then proceeds to take her cardigan off. "What are you doing?" Bonnie looks at Rebekah in shock as the blonde hands her cardigan to her.
"Well, since I'm the reason you're freezing cold, I thought that it's only fair I should also be the reason you're warm and cozy."
"Well what about you?" asks Bonnie, concern evident in her eyes.
"Vampire, remember? I'll be fine."
"Right, I'm stupid."
"No, you're concerned and caring," Rebekah states firmly, as if daring Bonnie to argue with her.
"You're a lot nicer than your brothers."
"Huh, well there's a first time for everything I guess."
"I mean, you're clearly petty by nature, and you're obviously desperate for love and affection with all the abandonment issues you seem to have," Bonnie continues on as if she hadn't heard a single thing that Rebekah had just said. "Not to mention this stone cold bitch vibe you give off… but you're pleasant, nonetheless."
"Hilarious. What are you, psychic?"
"Well, that, and I'm just really good at reading people. And you my friend, are an open book."
Rebekah looks at Bonnie curiously. No one's really ever been able to quite grasp her personality so well. Heck, she was sure that even her brothers hadn't! But this girl, this young girl who was wise beyond her years… she saw right through her.
She's going to be a fun one.
Rebekah gets up. "I'll see you around little witch." As she begins to walk away, Bonnie Bennett's voice stops her in her tracks for the second time that night.
"My name is Bonnie!" she hears her call out. Rebekah looks over her shoulder and sees Bonnie standing up, wearing her cardigan. It was a little bigger on her tiny frame, but she looked nice nonetheless.
"Rebekah!" she shouts, before speeding away into the night.
Bonnie bites her lip as the whoosh of Rebekah's super speed causes a gust of wind to send her hair flying. She knows that her friends might actually kill her, but Bonnie actually likes Rebekah. In fact, she even looks forward to the next time she runs into her. One thing she knows for sure is that Rebekah, will definitely keep her on her toes.
Who would've guessed that the judgy little Bennett witch would actually enjoy the company of Rebekah 'life of the party' Mikaelson?
