The next day things were extremely silent between Klaus and Bonnie and even Keegan for that matter. Yet Klaus found a seat next to Bonnie once they boarded the train car. Keegan sat a few booths away listening to music as per usual and Bonnie stared out the window; twiddling her thumbs. "I forgive you." Klaus finally spoke out.
"Excuse me?" Bonnie blurted out a little stunned. Last time she checked she hadn't apologized for anything. "What exactly do you forgive?" Swiveling in her seat she stared him in the eyes. She knew this was going to be a priceless arrogant response.
"For ignoring me." He stated simply while shooting her a devilish smirk.
"Okay," she began slowly. "Then I forgive you as well." She watched as the smirk washed away and the muscles in his jaw tightened.
"And what is it that you forgive me for?" His voice was impatiently sharp.
"I forgive you for calling the pot black when so is the kettle." She smiled even though his expression didn't change. "Klaus we're both afraid. Just face it." When she noticed him pulling away from the topic she reached out and held his hand.
Huffing lightly he shook his head. "I'm not afraid." As she squeezed his hand she watched as his eyes roam the train car before settling back upon hers. "I'm worried."
"Alright, we can call it that." She spoke up trying to soothe him.
"Not only am I worried that my father will end me; I'm worried he'll take out anyone in his way. I'm worried that it might be you. Your safety is above all else Bonnie."
Clearing her throat Bonnie ran her free hand through her hair. "What about Elena, aren't you worried that if Mikeal kills her your supply of hybrids will end?"
"Elena means nothing compared to you." For a small moment his answer took her breath away. It was the absolute first time she'd heard anyone say that. And the fact that it came from Klaus himself really
"Okay." It was the only thing she could think of saying. As she removed her hand and cleared her throat once more she tried desperately to find something else to talk about. "So where do you think Finn is? Just out of curiosity."
"He could be anywhere really and seeing as how you refuse to try the locator spell. We'll just have to start going down a list of his favorite destinations." Bonnie sighed lightly. The pressure of using such powerful and even dark magic definitely frightened her. There were just some things you shouldn't mess with; but of course Klaus wouldn't understand that.
"You're asking much more than you know from me."
"Then—Love—do something about it." She recoiled from his tone of voice. It was a little too forceful and demanding.
Sliding out from her side of the booth Bonnie began to pace the almost empty train car. As the scenery zipped past them it only made it harder for her to wrap her head around things. "You have no idea what you're asking me to do. That's what frustrates me the most Klaus. I mean this is the kind of thing my Grahams warned me about. What Analeese warned me about."
"And I'm sorry for that." With lightning speed he stood in front of her forcing her to stop pacing. As he held on to her arms and pulled her closer for some odd reason it seemed as if her heart slowed down. She could feel her skin warm underneath his cool touch. "Do you trust me?"
"Are we really going to have this conversation?" Bonnie retorted, she couldn't believe he had brought up this dreaded subject again. Every ounce of trust Klaus managed to build with her was wiped away.
"Well if you learned to really trust me Bonnie, you'd know I would never let anything happen to you. Because I love you Bonnie Bennett, you are my everything." Before the words fully escaped from his lips they met hers.
With their lips intertwining in a dance of lust Bonnie could feel blood rushing from her head. A little dizzy she pulled away breathing heavily. "Whoa there big boy—" Listening to Klaus chuckle she ran her fingers through her hair trying to wrap herself around how suddenly things had changed. A random flashback sent all of her repressed desires for Klaus to the surface.
"Keegan," Klaus began, finally taking his eyes off of Bonnie. "Prepare our things, we're almost there." Bonnie watched as Keegan left the room as ordered. "And now we're alone." The cheeky smile Klaus shot at her made her knees buckle slightly.
"I guess we are." She answered with a coy smile. Whether or not she was in love with him just didn't seem like a pressing question. All that mattered to her was that she felt something and it was time to act upon those feelings.
A/N: I realize this chapter is extremely short, to be perfectly honest it was sort of a filler chapter. BUT at least now Klaus and Bonnie can be all lovey dovey with each other! Oh happy days :)
