Wrote this on a whim, just really wanted to write some Bonkai, this is completely separate from my other 2 bonkai stories.
"She hates you?"
"No," Damon said blandly. "We had an argument, she'll come around."
"Will she though?" Kai said as he allowed himself a small grin, "you did lie to her," he tilted his head, "I can't believe you took all the credit cause from what I remember you did jack shit yet you leeched all the praise," he shrugged, "but you are a vampire so that does-" Kai's grin widened when he saw Damon's eyes turn from his usual blue to black in a matter of seconds. He managed to apparate in time when Damon lunged for him.
When he appeared again, Kai shook his head, chuckling. "Is she at her house?"
Damon glared at him, "none of your fucking business."
"She's at her house," Kai said, nodding to himself. "I advise you not to show up at her place seeing as Bonnie wants to burn you to a crisp."
"You know," Damon said as he slowly inched closer to the male witch. "You're not her favorite person either."
Kai took a step back, eyeing Damon cautiously. "I'm think I'm fairing better now in her eyes than you are." He tutted in warning, raising his hand, looking at Damon as he forcibly stilled in his steps. "Attempt to come another step towards me and I'll drop you. I'm not exactly thrilled about you either."
"Do I give a shit?" Damon hissed as he narrowed his eyes in warning.
Kai rolled his eyes. "You never do, unless it's about Elena." He clapped his hands then pointed at Damon. "Lets make a deal," he said playfully. "Let Elena be your only concern and let Bonnie be mine."
"I won't let you near Bonnie," Damon gritted, "I won't let you hurt her."
Rolling his grey eyes, he sighed. "Christ, you're an idiot." He narrowed his eyes at the vampire. "or you're acting like one...you know I like her."
"And?"
Kai stared at him for a moment, wondering why anybody tolerates this sarcastic asshole. Why do people give him chance after chance when he deserves none. What has Damon done in the past that allowed Bonnie's never ending forgiveness. "And nothing I guess." He held his hands up one more time, "I'm just gonna keep this restraint on you for a while, while I visit Bonnie." He dropped his hands and turned his back to the seething vampire. "Oh and if Bonnie doesn't burn you to a crisp if you show up at her place while I'm there then I will do the honors."
"You're an asshole," Damon huffed, rolling his eyes as he barged on the invisible barrier.
"Nope," Kai said, shaking his head. He smirked. "That's you."
"What the fuck?" Kai whispered, looking up at an melancholic witch. "What are you doing, get down!" Kai yelled as he watched Bonnie somberly bob her head to some really depressing rock music.
Bonnie looked down for a moment before disregarding him, making herself more comfortable on her roof top.
"Oh that's nice," Kai muttered. "Bonnie," he tried again, tone calmer this time. "Come down, it's not safe."
She continued bobbing her head, turning up the volume on her speakers, obviously trying to drown him out.
"Fine," Kai walked up her porch and entered the front door. He could actually hear the vibrations through the ceiling,"hmm I know that one." Kai said as he walked up the stairs to her bedroom or he assumed was her bedroom. Kai turned the door knob, taking in his crushes room, their was an awful lot of pink in here, something he didn't expect. He expected more greys and any other morose color he can think of. He walked up to the small, open window and peeked his head outside, taking in Bonnie and the exceptional way the wind was playing with her hair, she had her knees tucked under her chin as she stared ahead.
"What is it with you and staring?" Bonnie said quietly, still staring ahead.
"Nothing," Kai said, feeling a little pleased she didn't fling him through the window. Kai leaned his elbow against the window sill, "I only stare at you." Bonnie's brows furrowed at that, "besides I think I'm quite sneaky with my glances so the only way you'd notice me is staring is if you've been staring at me too."
Bonnie scoffed, "you wish."
"Yeah," Kai nodded, looking at her profile. "I really do."
"Stop being so forward," She turned her head to the side, the first time she properly looked at him. "It's really creepy."
"I know, you said that already. I can't help it though," he gave her a small smile. "Sorry." A week ago, during Alaric and Jo's wedding reception Kai approached the cute witch six times during the night and each time she rejected him for a dance. You would think it would shatter his ego but it only caused a dent, just brush it off and try again. Follow the wise words of Scarlet O'Hara, 'after all tomorrow is another day,'...man, he really liked that movie. Clark Gable is a God.
A new tune filtered the air as Bonnie hummed along, while taking small swigs of her beer.
"I like this song." Kai stated, as he sat on the sill.
"Showbiz," Bonnie nodded, "yeah, it's good."
"What's the singers name?"
"Muse, it's a band" she sighed, resting her cheek against her knee, looking at him, her green eyes expressionless. "What are you doing here Kai?"
"I found out about Damons lie to you. I wanted to see if you were okay."
"I'm not okay, he only told me about your link which he waited a long time to tell me." Bonnie said as she dragged her cheek against her knee as her chin rested on top of it again. "He never told me about his mom and now another ripper is roaming Mystic Falls."
"Yeah," Kai felt like gloating about Damon's fuck up but he didn't. "He put us in quite a pickle didn't he?"
"Yeah," Bonnie frowned, she whispered almost to herself, "Elena knew about it too."
"That really sucks," Kai said before internally rolling his eyes, couldn't he think of something better to say.
"Yeah, it really does." Bonnie said after a moment, "it's his mother so I can't really do anything." She let out another sigh and didn't say anymore after that. Kai looked at her drained frame before looking down at his hands. He nodded to himself before lifting his legs and sliding over the window sill, "what are you doing?" Bonnie asked as she looked up.
"Joining you," When Kai gauged her reaction and didn't see anger in her eyes, only confusion and resignation, he took that as a good sign.
"But I thought you were leaving?" Bonnie said flatly as she grabbed another bottle.
Kai shook his head as he crawled to her, "no," he grimaced, "I'd rather stay with you at the moment."
"You're doing it again," Bonnie muttered when Kai sat down beside her, she surprised him when she handed him that bottle of beer, he took it and a moment later he was handed a bottle opener. Well this is a turn of events, this small reception was better than he expected.
"Doing what again?"
"Flirting," Bonnie said simply before taking a long chug.
"You don't like it?" Kai said as looked over at her, biting his bottom lip.
Bonnie shrugged as she wiped her bottom lip, his eyes instinctively followed that tiny action. "I like the act of flirting, it's just, no offence...I hated you so it's weird, especially with that debacle at the wedding."
'Hated?' past tense, that's a very welcoming sign but he cringed inwardly when he recalled the meal at the wedding reception party. Kai blinked quickly, "shit...was kind of hoping you wouldn't bring that up."
Bonnie lips tilted upwards, "you caused one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, how can I not?"
Kai sighed, "yeah I was drunk." He caused a minor scene at the reception, the catalyst being a full bottle of white wine and the incessant averting of Bonnie's gaze when he tried to seek hers. So maybe she did bruise his ego a little and maybe he acted a little on spite when he stood up suddenly to give a toast that nobody wanted to hear which was fine by him because he was not talking about his sister and her happy day but how amazing Bonnie looked and how everyone should take notice. She did look amazing though in her plum, figure hugging dress but maybe speaking about it for two minutes in a room of eighty people wasn't the best option. Besides the whole hating his existence thing, maybe that was another reason why she refused to dance with him afterwards.
"Looking back, it was a little flattering though." Bonnie said as she looked ahead.
"Really," Kai said, "because it looked like you wanted to kill me."
"I did," Bonnie nodded, "but still, it was oddly sweet."
"I was just telling the truth," Kai shrugged casually but inside he was so fucking pleased.
"Kai..." Bonnie moaned as she reached for another bottle from the mini cooler she had wedged between the gutters.
"I know, I know," He said, his tone placating, "no flirting."
After a couple moments of silence, Kai spoke up, he didn't want to ruin the moment but he had to ask, "why are you being so receptive towards me?"
"I give up," Bonnie shrugged, taking another sip.
Kais brows furrowed, "...on?"
"On everything and nothing."
"I don't understand."
"I used to be so sure...the people who I thought were my friends, people who I thought have my back, don't and the people who I thought were my enemies, aren't, they would even go as far as saving my life by risking theirs," she looked at him then, expression pointed and intense for a moment before she looked away, "so I stopped caring, I'll judge less. Do you want to be my friend, Kai?"
Kai who was nodding along, looking at his hands, looked up suddenly at the last part, his heart thumping. "Yes."
Bonnie clinked her bottle with his, "then lets be friends. I have this 'fuck it' kind of attitude at the moment. It'll be cool to have a witch as a friend. I'm sick of vampires." Kai wasn't sure if it was her talking or the beer talking but everything she was saying was music to his fucking ears. "But if you're lying, I'll finish off what I did to you in 1903."
"I don't doubt it," Kai said with a small smile. "I'm not lying."
Bonnie turned to look at him for a moment before saying, "you know what? I actually believe you. You haven't done anything wrong since the merge so I'll believe you."
Kai felt a wave of gratitude as he gazed at her, "thank you," he breathed, "you have no idea how much I appreciate that."
Bonnie turned her head and shrugged, "I love this song," she said after a minute, "seen you before...couldn't look you in the eye..."
"Did you make a playlist of the most depressing songs in mankind for these kind of situations?"
"Yes," she said hesitantly, "is that strange? you'd be surprised how many times I had to use this playlist. It calms me down when I want to set things on fire or scream curses to the world, this soothes me a little."
Kai looked at his bottle, feeling a little uneasy. This was the first time she's been truly opening up to him and honestly he felt a little unworthy of it. God, she must be so lonely, opening up to a guy who stabbed her, a guy she tried to kill in retaliation. "With friends like yours, it's not strange at all."
She smile humorlessly, "Yeah...I'll leave one day though."
"Yeah?"
Bonnie nodded, "in the dead of night, no one will know. I'll disappear one day, I'll go off and finally live."
Kai nodded at her admission, he wasn't sure if she was serious but it didn't bother him if she was, he'll end up following her anyway. "Damon will be pissed."
"Fuck em," Bonnie shrugged. Kai looked away and grinned, music to his ears. They sat their for a while, listening to Radiohead in silence when a telephone call came from her bedroom. Kai rolled his eyes as he assumed it was Damon, the spell he did would have worn out by now. "I have to get that," Bonnie muttered as she scooted over to him then proceeded to crawl over him, her hands planted on either side of his legs. Kai held his breath when she looked up at him, damn, her eyes are pretty. She looked away and grabbed the window for leverage before hopping into her room.
From the phone call, he guessed it wasn't Damon due to fact their wasn't any threats being thrown around and Bonnie was genuinely laughing from time to time. When Bonnie hung up, she walked towards the window, her head peeking out the same way Kais did. "That was Ms Clarkson from across the road, nice lady, she wants me to get down, afraid I'll hurt myself. That goes the same for you too."
Kai nodded as he grabbed her speakers, along with her mini cooler. Bonnie stretched her arms out to receive the items.
When Kai and Bonnie stood in the middle of her room, Bonnie spoke first, "the company, although unexpected was nice."
"I'm just happy we're civil to each other," Kai said, looking at her.
Bonnie looked away and nodded, "yeah, me too." She looked back at him, "good night Kai."
He ducked his head, "night Bon." He walked towards her door and turned around, "don't suppose we can do this sometime."
"You mean, listen to sad music while talking about how shitty our lives are," she shrugged, "yeah okay."
He walked out the threshold and smiled. "Until next time," he called out.
