THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

THE DESCENT (S2:E12)

It's early in the morning and I burst into Bonnie's room, startling her while she's doing her make-up.

Bonnie : Jesus Christ, Sam! You scared the hell out of me.

I chuckle a bit and flop down on her bed.

Bonnie : How did you even get in here without my dad seeing you?

Sam : Witchy, you should know me better than this. Do you really a think your old man is gonna stop an original vampire from seeing the girl he loves? Hardly doubt it.

She shakes her head while giggling a bit, then goes back to do her make-up.

Bonnie : Any reason you're here so early in the morning, or do you just want to annoy me?

Sam : There is a reason, actually. See, I've been thinking a lot about our relationship recently...

In an instant, she whirls around and points a finger at me while wearing a mean ass glare.

Bonnie : If you break up with me right now, I'll... -

I chuckle, while speeding over to her and giving her a kiss on her head.

Sam : Calm down, Femme Fatale.

After a heavy sigh, she grabs my hand which I placed on her shoulder and gives it a kiss, while sounding really timid.

Bonnie : Don't scare me like that, Sam.

I turn her back to her mirror and start combing her hair.

Sam : I thought about how happy I am. Our relationship matured a lot. Like the thing with Jeremy. It sets me off, sure. And I'm overthinking a lot of things at the moment, but yet I never have the feeling that I can't count you. This is a level of trust I never had with anyone before.

Bonnie : So you came here to tell me how awesome I am? Sure, please do continue, Mr. Salvatore.

Again, I gotta chuckle.

Sam : Well, that's part of it, yes. The other thing I want to talk about... is our future.

Through the mirror, she gives me a creeped out look.

Bonnie : I'm a bit young for marriage, don't you think?

Sam : Well, I was born at a time where a pretty girl your age would be a married woman with child already. But I ain't gonna ask you to marry me, don't worry... not yet.

She smiles widely at that last part.

Sam : I'm talking about something which is gonna happen a lot sooner, I'm afraid. Sooner or later, Klaus will come to Mystic Falls.

Her eyes narrow at this.

Bonnie : How can you be so sure about this? Maybe we're lucky.

Sam : When are we ever lucky? But in all seriousness, Klaus will be here. And then I'll have to make a decision.

Bonnie : Join him or stay with us.

I just nod, purposely avoiding to meet her gaze through the mirror.

Bonnie : It should be an easy decision. Klaus is going to be a threat to your brothers. And you don't ever let anything happen to them. So...

Sam : Klaus is my brother too.

Now, I meet her gaze and see the disapproval in her glare.

Sam : I don't know if I can stand against him. I can't stand against you, Stefan and Damon either. You see the predicament.

Bonnie : Then stay out of everything.

Sam : If I could, I would. But as an original vampire? Hardly doubt that's possible. And you know me, I can never stay out of trouble for too long.
