Hey there everybody! Got a new chapter here for you all. Sorry it took a while I was having massive writers block and I figured you'd all want focused chapters not a pile of crap. Anyway, I was beginning to doubt this story because I had no idea where to go but now that I got a vague Idea of where it'll be ending I'm all set.
Anyway, let's enjoy shall we?
"You're not nervous?" Bonnie asked, looking at Freddy. The bear shook his head and Bonnie looked away. 'That's great and all but I feel like my insides are tangled in a knot.' A hand slipped in to grip his and he looked back at the male beside him.
"You're nervous about going to your parents house," he said, amusement tinting his voice. Bonnie flushed lightly but let their fingers twine together.
"My parents can be a bit obsessive when it comes to my social life," Bonnie admitted, "I just don't know how to prepare you for that."
"Don't concern yourself with such things," Freddy said, "After the catastrophe that happened with my own parents I doubt that anything your parents could ever conceive of doing will do any damage. We'll be fine." Bonnie nodded, still nervous but calmed slightly by the bear's statement. He leaned against the elder, sighing out gently. He felt Freddy pause before his hand slipped away, only to return a moment later as Freddy's arm slid around him. He gave a shy smile, turning to bury his face into Freddy's shoulder. It was a peaceful moment.
At least, until a shout from his mother ruined it.
He looked up, taking a step away from the bear beside him. Freddy let him move, didn't chase after him. 'Thank god for that,' he thought in relief. He flashed a smile at his mother, trying to ignore her sly expression.
"Better get in dear," his mother teased, "your father is waiting back at the house." He nodded and hurried toward the passenger door. Freddy stood still for a moment, only getting in the back seat when Bonnie's mother spoke. "C'mon now. Don't just stand there. Get in."
The drive back to Bonnie's house was void of speech. The only sound that permeated the car at all was Bonnie's mother humming to some tune only she knew. As they began to near his house Bonnie glanced to his mother. She was certainly one of those people who had aged well. Her violet fur was soft looking and neat, her eyes bright with teasing promise. She was a child at heart sometimes, and Bonnie loved her for it.
They pulled into the driveway and got out. Bonnie's mother stepped up to the door, about to open it when someone beat her to it. The male rabbit who appeared hugged her tightly. "Enough of that Sean," Bonnie's mother chastised, though her laughter didn't give her the desired effect, "you can try to squeeze the life out of me when we no longer have a guest."
"Of course Diane," he replied, releasing her and instead draping an arm around his wife.
"You must be Bonnie's father," Freddy said in his polite tone. Sean smirked, looking him over.
"And you must be my son's boyfriend," he replied. Bonnie flushed crimson. Thankfully Freddy only nodded at the statement. "Well then, come right in. About time our little Bonnie found himself someone. Course I always expected it to be a pretty young girl but a handsome young man such as yourself works too." He laughed, narrowly avoiding the teasing swipe Diane sent his way and escaping into the house.
"They're very..." Freddy began after the two had gone inside. He fought for the right word.
"Eccentric?"
"I was going to say excited," the bear replied, taking Bonnie's hand in his. "Shall we?" The rabbit sighed, pulling his boyfriend into the house. The pair wandered into the living room where Bonnie's parents were waiting, seated on a couch. Bonnie released Freddy's hand as they were forced to sit in a pair of chairs, feeling more nervous than he'd expected.
'Why am I so worried?' he asked himself, 'For crying out loud I feel more nervous than when I met Freddy's parents.' He forced himself to calm a bit but couldn't bring himself to look up from his lap. 'How did I manage to get into this mess?'
"So Freddy," Diane began, "Your a senior right?"
"Yes ma'am," he replied. She smiled at him.
"No need to be so polite dear," she said, "but I'm glad that Bonnie found someone like you. You seem like a smart, responsible young man."
"Plus we won't have to worry about Bonnie knocking someone up," Sean teased.
"Dad!" Bonnie felt his face flame. 'Why must they do this to me?' He pouted at the teasing look his father gave him. "Can we not have that discussion right now?"
"Right, right," Sean said, "I forgot that I'm not supposed to talk about your sex life." Bonnie groaned, trying to ignore the amused chuckle that escaped Freddy.
"Sean," Diane chastised, "you know better than that." She gave her son an apologetic look and turned back to Freddy. "So, have you decided what you want to do in college?"
"It's not entirely decided but likely I'll be going into Business Management," the bear replied, "In all honesty my parents would prefer I go into Law but I've started to realize that certain decisions are ones I have to make on my own."
"It's good that you're discovering yourself," Diane said with a smile. Sean nodded and stood.
"Whelp," he began, "I better get to work. You two behave." He flashed a smirk and hurried out. Diane gave a small laugh, standing as well.
"That goofball," she said before heading for the kitchen, "I'll call you two when lunch is ready."
"Thanks mom," Bonnie called after her. Freddy gave a sly smile.
"Might I see your room?" he asked, "I promise that I'll 'behave' as your father put it." Bonnie shook his head.
"Great, his insanity has rubbed off on you," Bonnie said with a sigh. He stood up, motioning for Freddy to follow. "Come on you." Freddy followed him up calmly, still chuckling under his breath. Bonnie huffed and walked to his room, hands buried in the pocket of his hoodie. As he went to open his door he paused, suddenly self-conscious. After seeing the type of atmosphere Freddy had been raised in, his home suddenly seemed incompetent by comparison. He shifted a bit, nerves coming back full force. What would Freddy think? 'Maybe this isn't such a good idea.'
"Something wrong Bonnie?" He jumped at Freddy being so close, his voice right by his ear. He whirled around, pasting a nervous smile to his face.
"Not at all!" he said, "so uh...this is my room." Freddy gave him an amused look, quirking an eyebrow.
"Your room is a door?" he asked. Bonnie gave a nervous laugh and turned back to the door, grabbing the door handle.
"Course not," he said, waving off the question as ridiculous. His heart fluttered in his chest, pulsing through his ears. 'Shit. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm gonna be sick?' A hand rested on his shoulder and he jumped.
"Are you sure you're all right?" Freddy asked.
'No,' he thought bitterly, 'not okay at all.' He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Y-yeah. I'm perfectly fine."
"Bonnie," Freddy said, "Are you...nervous to be alone with me?" He blinked, silent. Freddy sighed. "After what your father said I began to wonder. Relax, I won't do anything."
'Wait...what?' He turned to look at the bear behind him and shook his head. "That's not the case at all. I'm not worried about something like that. I know you well enough to know you wouldn't do anything I didn't want."
"Then what is it?" Bonnie sighed, relaxing back against the body behind him.
"Nothing," he said, "just a moment of stupidity. I'm fine." He pulled away and opened the door, leading the way in. Freddy didn't comment, simply looking around at everything presented to him. Bonnie sat on the bed, watching Freddy take in his surroundings.
"It's very...you," Freddy said at last. Bonnie gave a small smile and shifted over when Freddy came to sit beside him. "You certainly have more freedom than my brother or I." He wrapped an arm around the rabbit, pulling him closer. Bonnie sighed and relaxed, smiling to himself. "I always wondered what kind of people raised you."
"What do you mean?" he asked, looking up into brilliant blue eyes.
"I mean," he said, leaning closer, "that I had always wondered what kind of people could make someone as wonderful as you." His breath hitched and Freddy pressed closer to press their lips together. He sighed, ears flattening a bit as his eyes closed.
'Didn't see this coming,' he thought, shifting to wrap his arms around Freddy's neck. The bear responded by moving his grip to Bonnie's waist, pressing them closer together. 'Unexpected but...definitely not unappreciated.' They parted, slightly out of breath, and simply sat there, clinging tight to each other.
In Bonnie's mind it was one of the best moments of his life.
So there you have it everyone. I'm off to write my co-story on Wattpad. Wish me luck!
