She holds him even tighter into her warm embrace. The stream of tears became heavier, turning her eyes into waterfalls, and cascading down her bony yet soft cheeks onto the head of her broken boyfriend. Jeremy wraps his arms tighter around the witch's waist, almost cracking her ribs but she doesn't mind as long as it comforts her human boyfriend.
"Bonnie, please don't leave me," he whimpers softly. She softly resumes stroking his hair, just as she had before she found out his heartbreaking secret.
"OK, I'll sleep here tonight," she replies, not understanding what he meant when he pleaded for her company.
"I don't mean that, Bonnie," he whispers, confusing her. "Of course that would be nice but what I mean is don't leave me… ever…" he continues. "What I mean is, just don't die, be careful, please!" He struggles through the tears that seemed to be drowning his face.
"I promise," Bonnie replies. Even though she couldn't truly be sure that she wouldn't randomly die at any given time she would say anything to comfort her boyfriend right now.
Jeremy tilts his head up, feeling the movement Bonnie looks down and catches his eyes in a deep and meaningful gaze. She forces a smile to form across her teary face. Jeremy smiles back before slowly moving against Bonnie's hold and away from their warming embrace to straighten his posture somewhat matching hers, Bonnie releases her grip from around his shoulders. He moves his arms from her waste to softly frame her face, responding quickly, Bonnie puts her arms tightly around his neck and smiles even deeper. Slowly he presses his head to hers, never breaking their meaningful gaze. Closing his eyes, he captivates her lips in a careful kiss. Feeling his tear soaked lips on her, which were equally covered in her own liquid sadness, she lightly closes her eyes.
After a few moments of soft kissing Jeremy presses his tongue to Bonnie's lip pleading for entry. She immediately allows it, granting them both to feel the bliss of their lover's tongue massaging their own. Jeremy softly smiles against Bonnie's lips allowing another stream tears to begin running out of his eyes, shocking Bonnie.
"What is wrong!?" Bonnie panics as she pulls back from Jeremy. "Why are you crying!?" she continues.
"It's nothing, Bon," he tries to brush off her question.
"Jer," Bonnie urges him to answer, making Jeremy chuckle. He just sits for a moment trying to think of a way to explain how he felt.
"I just," he starts. "Feel so," he continues, pausing to give himself a few moments to try and think of a suitable word. "Accepted," he finishes. A smile flourishes across Bonnie's perfect face.
"Well, you should. I will always accept you Jeremy, always!" she almost screams with passion, wanting to say 'love' as Jeremy had casually slipped in earlier but had to remind herself of all of the alcohol in his system possibly causing him to say something that he didn't quite mean.
"And even though it doesn't really apply right now, I will always accept you too Bonnie," Jeremy says.
"We should really sleep we need to be up at 8 which is in…" Bonnie pauses to check her phone. "Oh god, 5 hours! It is 3am! We have been in for over 2 hours!" Bonnie panics. Usually, to ensure that she has enough strength for her magic, she makes sure that she at least 7 hours of sleep a night, which she knew she wouldn't get having walked Jeremy home at around 1am and expecting to get home at 1:15, but she didn't expect to have so little.
"It's OK, Bon!" Jeremy giggles. "We can just sleep now!" he smirks. Bonnie nods, standing up walking toward his door. "Where are you going!?" Jeremy calls.
"To Elena's room…" she trails off remembering that she wasn't at an infamous Elena Gilbert sleepover but was instead here with her boyfriend. She lets out a small laugh at her silly confusion, undoubtedly because of her tiredness. She slowly swivels to face her boyfriend again and with a smirk climbs back onto the bed with him.
Climbing under the covers they snuggle close to each other. Bonnie rests her head on his chest, feeling his heart beat the blood through his warm body, as he frames her supple upper body with his strong arms, protecting her. Bonnie's soft breathing quickly lulls Jeremy to sleep. Once she hears his soft snoring she whispers into his chest "I love you," and falls to sleep.
