Bonkai request from the wonderfully creative Jacpin2002, who always sends some fun stuff to write. The request is "Clarity".

Bonnie watched as Kai went into a psychotic rage. Just as she had watched Damon return to the real world without her. In this moment, Kai's rage reminded her of Damon. He was volatile and angry yet she hadn't even thought twice about releasing him into the real world.

"WHERE IS YOUR MAGIC?" Kai screamed stomping toward her.

Bonnie took a step back. She wasn't afraid, she was strangely calm.

"If I take you back with me, what are you going to do?"

Kai's surprise was visible. He blinked and stopped screaming. He was staring down at her, close enough to touch, if only she closed the step between them. He was still breathing hard from all of his shouting.

"What are you talking about? Where is the stupid bear, Bonnie? And I wouldn't play games with me, I'm feeling kinda batty," he made crazy eyes and gestured at his head like he was completely loony toon.

"What are you going to do if I let you back into the world?"

"Kill my father, merge with my twin and become the mega powerful coven leader. I think that's pretty obvious."

Kai's chest was still heaving, and he was breathing hard. But his eyes went to her lips.

Was Damon right? Was Kai flirting with her?

Like a bolt of lightning it hit her, Kai was flirting with her.

Oh, wow, Damon was right. That had to be a first. Like ever because she couldn't remember a single time he had even been a little right.

"Okay and when you are the evil coven leader, you are going to do what?"

"Why do you care?"

"Just answer the question."

"I don't know," he shrugged. "Normal coven stuff, lord my power over my minions."

"But you aren't going to run around like killing people, right?"

"Only the ones that bug me," he shrugged.

Bonnie put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrow to give him a stern look.

"Seriously?"

"It's not like I'm going to be hanging around Mystic Falls, murdering your friends so what do you care? My coven my business."

That was true. What did she care? Why was it her responsibility to save everyone? Including perfect strangers? It was Kai's coven and from what little she knew of covens, they didn't like anyone else meddling in their business. So why get involved?

It came to her perfectly clear in that moment. She didn't need to. It wasn't her job to save everyone, to lay down her life like it meant nothing. She knew when she returned to the world she was living Mystic Falls forever.

"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow afternoon," she said.

"Is this another trick, Bonster?"

She shook her head, defeated. "No. You don't know this about me, Kai, but this is my second time being dead and I'm not going to waste my third chance at life. I'm going to travel the world or at least go somewhere with less supernatural drama."

"Great, I'll hold you to it and if you ever find yourself in Portland, give me a call."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Don't get ahead of yourself. One moment of clarity doesn't mean we are buds, alright?"

"Alright."

Kai winked at her and she blushed.

What could she say? He was hot.

Second request from Jacpin, which is sort of the sequel to the first request. Request for "They were looking, but I didn't care. I ran to him anyway."

Bonnie smiled at Kai. He squeezed her hands and cracked a lopsided smile. Heat pooled in her stomach at that smile. They'd had a rough go of it in the beginning, but eventually he had convinced her. Kai was singularly focused in his goal, but in spite of everything she had done to stop him from escaping the prison world, he hadn't abandoned her here. She thought for sure he would once he had her blood and magic, but he hadn't.

It had taken a couple of weeks, but she had learned to trust him. She still had some qualms about releasing him back into the world, but he had promised to stay away from her friends and Mystic Falls. All he wanted was to be coven leader. So she had released him and she hadn't seen him since.

The memory of that smile was the last clear one, Bonnie had of him. And she thought of it frequently. Hating to admit it even to herself, but she missed Kai.

Especially, right now when she was in the Salvatore boardinghouse. Of course, the truth was, she wanted to be anywhere but here.

"How could you let that psycho out?" Damon sneered.

He was drunk. He was on his third bottle of bourbon, Bonnie noted with disgust. Her eyes narrowed and she felt her patience wear thin.

Stefan was silent, but still judging. Elena couldn't stop crying and for once, the sight of her tears didn't stir anything inside of Bonnie. She felt no sympathy for her friend. Even Alaric, who had shut himself in his apartment when news of Jo's death reached him. Bonnie didn't have it in her to feel bad for any of them because they were blaming her. They had abandoned her there, left her at Kai's insane mercy yet everything was her fault. Same old Mystic Falls.

"Maybe because he promised to stay away from me and Mystic Falls?" Bonnie snapped.

"Yeah and look how much a promise from Kai is worth. He killed Jo!"

"The Gemini coven's fucked up history and problems are not my responsibility!" Bonnie rose to her feet, suddenly furious with the lot of them.

"Bonnie this isn't like you," Elena said in a quiet voice.

"Oh?" Bonnie turned on her. "And what is like me, Elena?"

"You help people. You help your friends."

Bonnie laughed and it was hysterical. Her friends had left her in the prison world. Damon and Elena had half a second where they tried to save her and then gave up at the first hiccup.

"I help my friends?" Bonnie said and laughed that cold harsh laugh again. "Yeah, and when have any of you ever returned the favor? I died for you and Jeremy, Elena. I've died twice and Kai could have killed me in that prison world, he had the chance after Damon left, but he didn't. So why would I risk my neck going up against him for a coven I'm not even a part of?"

"Kai isn't a threat to us unless we make him one," Stefan said. "I'm sorry about Jo, but we tried to train her. What else could we do? The Geminis aren't our problem."

"Liv is Tyler's girlfriend."

"And Liv helped Kai merge with Jo," Bonnie growled. "But I'm the bad guy for walking away from a problem that isn't mine?"

"Bonnie no one is saying that," Elena said in an appeasing tone of voice.

"Then what are you saying? Because I'm done laying my life down for other people."

"Bonnie I – I - I didn't mean it like that," Elena said at last feebly.

"Well I did," Damon slurred and tried to focus his eyes on her. "If you aren't around to save other people, what good are you?"

"Are you saying Bonster is only worth something if she's putting her ass on the line for you ingrate morons?" a voice said from the doorway.

Bonnie froze at the sound of that voice. She knew it all too well. She looked over and saw Kai in the doorway. He gave her a playful smile and winked. A shiver of anticipation ran down her spine because that smile – it held a promise of more.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well," Kai waved his hands in front of him. "I kind of went through some things after the merge."

Bonnie could see that. He was broader than he had been. He had stubble and honestly, he was so hot now that Bonnie thought might be drooling. Kai had always been a smokeshow, but he went from son to daddy real quick. And this black trench coat he was wearing with a high collar – well it only added to the bad boy look.

"What happened to you?"

Kai rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Damon went charging to him in a blur, but Kai held his hand up and froze him there. Damon was still awake, she could tell because his eyes were darting frantically around the room, but he appeared unable to speak or move.

"Jo and I merged so I got an upgrade, obvs," he laughed in a self-deprecating way. "Then the weirdest thing happened, I started to like excrete this like alien liquid from my eyes."

"You mean you cried?" Elena said gaping at him.

"Yeah," Kai bobbed his head in acknowledgement, but his eyes never left Bonnie's. "So I googled it and like apparently I've caught feelings."

"Is it permanent?" Bonnie asked trying to keep the hopeful note out of her voice and failing miserably.

For the first time since she had met him, Kai looked at a loss for words. His gaze was uncertain, but he gave a tentative nod. "I think so."

"What does any of this have to do with us?" Elena cried mystified.

Jeremy finally sat up straight, joining the conversation.

"So you've got feelings now, great. Now get out," Jeremy snapped.

Kai tossed Damon into the wall and his expression was still less confident, but his confidence was returning.

"You're gonna regret that," Damon snarled.

"Nope, I don't think I am. I'm like mega powerful now that I'm the coven leader. Also I'm not here for any of you losers. I'm here for my girl."

Bonnie stared at him as shocked as the rest of them. Damon cursed and snarled.

"Me?" she stammered.

"C'mon, Bon you know I like you and now that I have actual feelings?" he grimaced and tried to explain. "Like now it's really real."

"You can't be serious," Damon groaned. The disgust was evident in his voice. "Can I kill him yet?"

"Damon," Elena cautioned.

"What the fuck is happening?" Jeremy muttered. "Bon?"

But Bonnie heard none of them. All she saw was Kai.

"Then why didn't you come sooner?"

"Kinda had to sort out my feelings," Kai shoved his hands in his pockets. "See, I used to think I had them, but I didn't, not really and it turns out they are kind of tricky. So I had to do some Googling and some processing. But I worked it out and I'm totally into you so what do you say? Do you want to skip town with me?"

YES! Every fiber of her being screamed, she even took a step toward him. But something inside of her stopped her. Maybe it was the last sensible bone or maybe after everything that had happened to her, she just wasn't as brave as she had once been.

"And go where?"

"I have to get my coven in order and since you're a solitary witch, I thought it might be up your alley. Or we could skip out on them and travel the world. Whatever you want."

Whatever she wanted? Now there was a more enticing offer than she had ever heard before in her life. No one had ever asked her what she wanted to do before, at least not about anything important.

Bonnie knew they were all watching and staring, but she didn't care. She ran to him anyway. She threw her arms around Kai's neck and he picked her up, spinning her around. She felt a surge of magic and when he put her down, she didn't recognize the scenery. She was in a modern apartment, overlooking a city.

"Where are we?" she looked up at Kai.

He grinned down at her. He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. When his silver ring touched her skin, electricity and magic sparked up inside of her.

"My apartment in Portland. We can go somewhere else if you want to, but I figured we should skip out on the Salvatores before they tried to kill me."

"Probably smart," she agreed with a wry smile. "Are you sure you want to fix things with your coven?"

"Worried I'm going to go looney-toon and murder them all?"
Bonnie grimaced guiltily. "Maybe a little."

He tugged on her hair. "I'm not going to go looney-toon on anyone. Scout's honor," he held his fingers up.

"Were you a boy's scout?"

"Is that the point?"

"Yes."

"No," he touched his forehead to hers and wrapped his arms more securely to her waist. She snuggled into his body. Warmth filled her as she took in the physical changes, he was bigger and bulkier. It sent a thrill through her. "So what do you want to do?"

"How about dinner and then we see?"

"Sounds perfect," his smile was wicked.

And she returned it with a smile of her own.
