Hey everybody! Sorry it's taken me so long to update my Stefonnie stories…I hit a wall and I couldn't seem to break through…until NOW! Okay, my blah, blah, blah is over enjoy the story. Thanks for your patience! Okay NOW my blah, blah, blah is over!
It had been a rocky road for the two of them. She had been very reluctant to even entertain the idea of them being together. Hell, she had fought it every step of the way even though he knew she had always liked him. He smiled when he thought of the first time he brought it up. They had been in the forest working on some spells and practicing her fighting skills and he grabbed her around the waist and heard the familiar pick up of her heartbeat whenever he touched her. He had caressed her hair and told her he liked her and wanted to go out with her. His Bonnie had looked him in the eyes and laughed until her side hurt. He had been dumbfounded while she had wiped the tears of mirth from her eyes. That is until she had realized that he was serious and then she had shaken her head no and walked away. He had never been as glad for his vampire speed as he had been then. Stefan remembered looking at her his grey green eyes imploring as he watched her tick off all the reasons why they could never date.
"For one you're my best friend's ex…you just don't do that! It's against every girl code in like the world, Stefan! Second you aren't exactly stable in the emotional department and don't think I don't know that you are still a ripper. I can't condone that kind of thing Stefan; it's just not in me. Third…wait fourth we're in the middle of an epic war with Klaus! God only knows what that psycho might have in store for us! We could all be dead tomorrow and then my last memory would be of me betraying my bestie. No thank you!" Bonnie looked at Stefan her eyes trying not to water sometimes she hated being Elena's friend. If she was just some random girl she would be all over Stefan like a cheap suit. But she was Elena's best friend and even though her friend kept saying that she had let Stefan go Bonnie still saw the sadness in her eyes. Hell, she even saw the sadness in Damon's eyes he walked around like it didn't matter but she could tell he was not dealing and her bringing Stefan around when everyone thought he was lost to them would just be cruel. Not to mention the fact that she liked this private time that they had together. Bonnie didn't want to answer a bunch of questions that she had not allowed even her own mind to ask or answer. Stefan calmly listened to her reasons for not wanting to go out with him and with each reason ticked off he took a cautious step forward soon he was so close to her he could feel the heat her body radiated. "One, I don't love Elena anymore. Two, if she really is your best friend then she will be happy for you. Three, I don't kill people anymore Damon taught me that I can pull myself from the edge I just need a little self control. Four, shouldn't we be taking advantage of all the time that we have since Klaus could kill us all anyway?" Stefan said his breath fanning Bonnie's bangs as he countered all of her reasons. "Bonnie I know that you are worried about how Elena feels don't she is pretty preoccupied with her feelings for my brother. As far as Damon is concerned he may not know that I messed up his plan for him, but he knows that I love him. Well, eventually after he's stop being angry he'll know I did that for him." Stefan said with a sheepish smile. "If I could care less that Damon might hook up with Elena and that's a much bigger code violation than your 'girl code' then why does it bother you to go out with me? We both know that even if I went back and explained everything to them that all that subtext wouldn't go away and my feelings for you would just make our triangle a square, so I say we just go out see how it goes and let the rest fall where it may." Stefan shrugged his shoulders and leaned in to kiss the tip of Bonnie's nose. He watched her mind whirl as she thought it through. She really did remind him of Damon sometimes when they were trying to weigh their odds. Stefan watched as Bonnie's mossy green eyes begin to soften and he could almost see when she had made her decision.
Bonnie looked at Stefan. She tried to not see the logic in his reasoning, but she also wanted to see where she and Stefan might go. She had always wondered what could happen between them if his 'connection' with Elena was gone and they weren't all googly eyed over each other. This was her chance to see. Yes, it was selfish of her, but she didn't care. She was single and so was he and she didn't have to feel guilty. She reasoned that he was right Damon and Elena were growing closer than and as icky as that was it was inevitable for that ship to start sailing any moment. Bonnie tipped her head back and brushed her lips to Stefan's. "Okay, we'll see what happens. But, nothing too public because nobody's supposed to know that you are here." She felt Stefan nod his accent slipping his tongue in her mouth and kissing her deeper.
Okay, I know that was kind of short and nope I'm not even going to try to write a second part…those don't seem to work out well for me . I hope you enjoyed it and I hope my muse stays with me long enough to write another couple. Happy Holidays!
