I do not own the Vampire Diaries. The CW and L.J. Smith do. No copyright infringement is intended. I do not own the movie either. I just wanted to contribute something to Bonkai appreciation week. Thanks for reading!
As usual Bonnie was the last one to arrive. She tried ignoring her stomach, but her hunger growled and made itself known. Taking long to get ready, she hoped that she would not see the three of them at the breakfast table, but she knew that wasn't going to be the case. As she came down the stairs she disregarded the feeling of nervousness that made her hesitate on the last step. With trepidation, she approached and entered the kitchen and she was the cynosure of the group. As she got to the table all three men stood up, Damon always reluctantly. Kol pulled out the chair for her and she sat down. Kai sat down with his plate almost done. Damon sat down and picked at his eggs.
"Sorry Bon, I just couldn't wait any longer," Kai said, a slice of bacon hanging out of his mouth. He always ate as if someone was going to take his food away from him and that often made Bonnie wonder about his childhood.
"How was your morning, darling?" Kol asked sitting and smiling at her.
"All right," she said, taking a sip of her orange juice.
"Guess who made breakfast today?" Kai asked, drumming his hands on the table. He asked this every morning much to her annoyance. Since breakfast didn't consist of pancakes Damon was out. That left Kol or Kai. Scanning what was on the table: blueberry muffins, bacon, and omelets with fresh squeezed orange juice she came to a decision. Kol made rather sophisticated breakfasts and she often didn't want to eat what was on her plate because it was too beautiful. Bonnie didn't really want to respond but she decided to indulge him.
"Was it you, Kai?"
"Yes it was, darling" he said, faking an English accent. Kol laughed at his accent, and quaffed some orange juice. The two had finally become friends and Bonnie and Damon didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. Bonnie had been living with the three men for a month now and she still wasn't used to it. She had spent four months living with Damon and was just starting to stand him when Kai came. Later they discovered Kol. Living with the three of them meant being pulled in different directions. They all vied for her attention. After eating breakfast without a single fight, Bonnie felt relieved.
Kol volunteered to wash the dishes. Picking up each plate and cup with dexterity he made his way to the sink, and was better than a dish washer machine.
"Bonnie and I are going grocery shopping," Damon announced, taking Bonnie's hand.
"Wait, I'm coming too," Kai said, putting his Converse on and tying the shoelaces quickly.
"Look we'll get you all the pork rinds you want. You don't have to come," Damon said irritated. Bonnie sighed, knowing that another fight was going to start if she didn't do something about it.
"You know what I think I'm just going to stay and watch The Bodyguard," she said, heading for the living room.
"All right then I'll stay," Kai said, smiling for no reason.
Damon was not going to leave Bonnie here with Kol and Kai. "I guess I could go later," Damon said but it fell on deaf ears.
Bonnie sat on the couch and Kai clumsily sat next to the left of her. Kol glared at Damon, who took the hint and let him sit next to Bonnie. Damon felt so far from her as he took a seat next to Kai. Bonnie pressed PLAY on the VCR before a fight could erupt. Damon and Kol could hear Kai's heart beating fast as the movie started. Bonnie kept her eyes on the movie, but she knew the vampires and sociopath were not that invested on what was going on the screen. Bonnie tried to pay no attention to Kai munching on pork rinds next to her. She shook her head when he offered her some and he said, "More for me." Kai couldn't keep still and his staring was anything but inconspicuous.
"Damn, look at the house," Kai shouted.
"I've never seen this movie before," Kol mentioned.
"What the hell?" Kai said almost choking on a pork rind.
"I was in a coffin," Kol said, shrugging.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and missed when she watched this with Damon alone. She turned to look at him and he managed a small smile. Kai caught them and to piss Damon off threw his empty bag on his lap.
"I can tuck you in like that tonight, Bonster," Kai grinned as he watched Frank tuck in Rachel.
"I rather you smother yourself Kai," she said to which Damon and Kol laughed.
Kai grinned to save face but his Adam's apple gave him away as he gulped. "You have a weird way of showing me love Bon, but at least you make an effort," Kai said rapidly.
"Believe me I do not make an effort when it comes to you," Bonnie said, her eyes narrowing at him.
"We're not really going to get to watch the movie in silence," Kol muttered lowly so only Damon heard him.
"You got that right," Damon said.
"I'll tell you how the movie ends," Kai said to Kol.
"I rather you not," Kol said. "Can you please stop with the jibber-jabber."
"I like that. Jibber-jabber," Kai said, cackling to himself. Bonnie felt like the movie she was watching was different. Every time you watch a movie with someone different it's as if you too are watching it for the first time. She couldn't believe she was interested in seeing how Kol would react to it. So far he seemed like the only one was really interested in it, while Kai was too busy staring at her, and Damon would occasionally look at her and glare at Kai.
"I can sing like that," Kai mentioned to the group and Bonnie turned to him.
"Oh, you wish," she said.
"I don't have to wish because I can," he said grinning at her.
"Bonnie, don't even encourage him. He's delusional." Damon said, crossing his arms in front of himself.
"I have many talents that you don't know about and my mouth is very talented," Kai informed and winked at her. Bonnie ignored him and her eyes were back on the screen.
"Oh please, you need better pick up lines," Damon told Kai, "at least take her out."
I plan to Kai thought but I need to get rid of you first. Kai smirked at Damon and said, "Gosh shut up Damon I really want to watch this movie."
Everyone was quiet for the next fifteen minutes that Bonnie was surprised, but she knew Kai was up to something. Bonnie watched as Rachel was singing on stage. Suddenly she was startled when she heard a huge burp and Kai's head landed directly on her shoulder. Damon was going to remove him when they all realized that he was sleeping. They came to the decision that it was better to leave him alone lest he wake up and start talking again. Bonnie tried to ignore his head lying on her shoulder, but she found herself constantly looking down at him. She watched as his eyes moved behind closed eyelids and wondered what he dreamt about. The movie finally ended and Kol got up.
"I can't believe I'm going to say this but I bloody enjoyed it," Kol said, grinning down at her.
"I will not be kind and rewind," Damon said, and stopped the movie.
"Are we going shopping?" Damon questioned. "Or are you just going to let him sleep on you like that?"
Bonnie gave a light shrug and Kai's head moved a little.
"Bonnieee," Kai moaned.
"That's disgusting," Damon said, resisting the urge to put the empty pork rinds bag over Kai's head.
Damon lifted Kai off Bonnie and left him lying on the couch.
Quickly they exited the house and made their way to the grocery store.
"Wake up mate," Kol said, throwing a pillow at Kai's head.
Kai rolled over and said, "Five more minutes."
"They are gone," Kol notified him.
Kai got up quickly and looked around. "You let them leave," he shouted.
"You fell asleep," Kol said.
"Why did you let them leave? They are going to come up with a plan now and leave us here."
"No they won't."
"You don't know that," Kai said making a fist.
"Calm down they will come back. Where are they going to go?"
"You're right besides Bonnie will see that it is better that she has us than just measly Damon."
"That's right," Kol said.
"Damon is so obtuse," Kai said, deciding to change the subject. "I mean he has this beautiful girl stuck with him and he still hasn't made the moves on her. I mean who the hell is this Elena?"
Kai watched Kol's expression change. A scowl now graced his face and he shook his head as if remembering something horrific. "She's the reason I ended up here. Bonnie could've helped me but she didn't."
"Wait so how do you feel about Bonnie?" Kai asked.
"I've been around too long and I know that witches often get taken advantage of. I used to hang out with them often and I hold them in high esteem. I think Bonnie is benefitting from being without her friends. As of now I do not hold any contempt towards her."
"Well that's good to hear. Do you think she likes me? I think she likes me. I mean I think she really did before she knew I was a sociopath. Damn I wish you were there. You would have been able to tell me how her heart used to beat around me. I mean how did it beat while I was sleeping on her shoulder?"
"Regularly," Kol beamed. "You really fancy her don't you?"
Kai smirked and said, "Is that what they call it? I don't know."
Kol laughed at him and said, "Fine we don't have to call it anything, but I better not see you painting any horses for her."
Kai pretended like he was going to vomit. "I can't be that guy.I mean if he wasn't here I'm positive I would have her right now," Kai said shaking his head. "He just ruins everything. All he talks is about Elena. Like dude no gives a damn. He's so blind but that's better for me. So what do you think I should do? You've been around long enough."
"I may have something that could help," Kol said a mischievous expression gracing his boyish face.
Kai grinned back. "Do tell."
The next few days would be entertaining indeed. "It's simple. All we have to do is divide and conquer."
