Nightmares ; Bonkai

chapter 10

A few hours and 3 corn dogs with a bowl of mac and cheese later, Bonnie was so full she could hardly keep her eyes open. She felt like an oompa loompa trudging her feet down the hallway to her bedroom and hoped it was only a few more steps away. She felt like Kai was around her the entire day – which seeing how she technically never got any sleep and he was making her sandwiches at 4 in the morning he was with her for most of the day. They ate dinner together and talked about mindless chatter, in reality both of their thoughts were on the conversation they had earlier, and he slipped away to take a shower and never came back down. She knew it couldn't have been that late, must be before midnight, but there was nothing stopping her from collapsing on that bed. She turned the corner and stopped mid-step, realizing her mistake for the second time.

"Seriously?" she mumbled to herself, once again in the same hall that Damon's room is located in.

Bonnie glanced at his door then the one to the right of it, where she's been sleeping the past couple nights and headed in that general direction. She stopped in between both doors, glancing from left to right. If she chose what was being door number 1 she was certain she'd get a restful sleep with no nightmares, but the repercussions involve sharing a bed, snuggling, and possibly getting sleep siphoned. If she chose door number 2 she would most certainly have none of those repercussions but the chance of a nightmare jumps to about 85%. Bonnie sighed and rested her head against the door, hand on the knob for a solid minute before opening it. When she lifted her head to glance inside she saw no one and smiled to herself, heading straight for the bed. She jumped the last four feet and landed head first in the pillows, her body relaxing the moment it smelled the fresh sheets.

"Well isn't this a nice surprise," she heard from behind her and lifted her head to see Kai walking out of the bathroom in only a towel, dropping her head back down.

"Better than the surprise I just walked into," Bonnie mumbled with half her face pressed into the pillow. She heard him chuckle as he made his way over to the dresser, throwing the towel on her head before opening the drawer. "That's not – I don't," she reached over her head trying to yank the towel off her, very ungraceful in her tired state of mind.

"What was that?"

"I don't want that," she finished and heard the smack against the floor.

"Do you want this?" His voice was right next to the bed.

"Kai!" she turned her head towards him and saw he was holding an extra T-shirt, "Oh, no thanks."

"I do believe you are blushing," Kai mused rounding the bed to his side and pulling back the covers. "Get up for a sec."

Kai tugged the sheets attempting to pull them out from under her but neither would budge. He walked back around to her side and lifted her up and over his shoulder.

"What –"he held onto her with one hand and pulled back the sheet with the other, gently placing her back down.

"Now was that so hard?"

Bonnie couldn't even hear what he was saying when the sheets felt this soft, cuddling up closer to the pillows towards the middle of the bed and blindly reached for the covers at her feet. The bed sank underneath her then the covers were up near her shoulders and body heat was radiating in front of her, opening her eyes and glanced up finding him staring back down at her. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and he smiled, settling in even closer.

"Were you sleeping?"

"No?" she answered confused. "When would I have gotten the chance?"

"I don't know, that's why I was curious." Kai locked one of his legs between hers. "This is the first time you've come in here without having a nightmare first."
