Virus (Sequel To 'A Malfunction?')(Bonnie x Reader)

Chapter 28: No Issues

"Y-yes..."

"I see." He writes something down.

Bonnie was half expecting to be scolded or to be bombarded with the question asking why the hell he would do that, but no. Dr. Trace just writes something down and moves on, not really concerned. Although that does relieve Bonnie, he can't help but think if this is a common occurrence.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Let me see him."

It's been a few hours since Bonnie woke up and he's done nothing but sit on the windowsill, looking down for some people watching. Occasionally, a doctor or nurse will come in to check up on him and make sure his health is still stable. He still can't get over how he survived.

"Bonnie?"

"Hi, y/n, darling..." He doesn't move.

All there is is footsteps towards him and then gentle arms around his chest.

"I know what happened..." you say.

"I know..."

You sit on the windowsill right in front of him so you can hug him more comfortably. All Bonnie does is move one hand to place it on the back of your head, moving you to his chest.

"Is there any serious damage?" you ask quietly.

"No..."

"Do you know how long you have to stay here?"

"No..."

After a moment of silence, you sigh.

"Bonnie..." you start, "why did you try it?"

Now, you expected to get one of multiple answers, ranging from him not telling you, telling you the whole thing, or just crying. These sound like things Bonnie would do, but he doesn't. Not this time. What he does is so strange, you almost start to panic. He moves his hand on your head to your cheek and pinches it, leaning closer to you so he's almost talking in your ear.

"I'm sure your dad can tell you," he whispers.

You don't know how to respond so you just stutter.

"O-ok..."

He lets your cheek go and goes back to looking out the window. You haven't spoken to your dad at all since storming out.

~~~~~~~~~~

You try to push away from Bonnie so you can look at his face and have a more serious conversation but as soon as you try to, his grip on you tightens, making it impossible for you to move.

"You're not going anywhere," he says.

That's when you know there is something seriously wrong with him – separate from everything that's happened. That event has changed something in him. Then your brain flashes to how Bonnie might have an altered version of the virus, given by Des. What's the bet that this near-death experience has sped up the process due to the injury?

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me, why?" you say.

"I might if your dad explains it first."

You bite your lip. "What do you...think of my dad? Do you like him?"

"I don't think you want me to answer that."

"I see..."

That's not good.

~~~~~~~~~~

You've managed to get Bonnie to let go of you enough that you can move around freely – although he's still got a firm grip on your hand. Just as the door opens.

"Hey, dad..."

The second those words escape your lips, you feel Bonnie's grasp tighten.

"How is he?" your dad asks.

"He's fine. There are no serious issues."

"So you know what happened?"

"Yes..."

"Has he told you why?"

"He wants you to tell me."

"W-why?"

That's the first time you've heard your dad stutter in a long time, meaning what lead up to it is even worse than you were initially thinking. You just stare at him.

"I'll...uh... Tell you later," he says, looking at the floor.

You sigh and partially roll your eyes as you can't understand why he can't just tell you now. There's no one else in the room aside from Bonnie. Speaking of him, he leans towards your ear again as you feel his claws gently moving across your hand.

"Can we go home...?" he asks.

"If I'm given the clear then yes. We can go home."

He mummers happily, resting his head on your shoulder. You look back at your dad who looks absolutely lost. You look between both him and Bonnie before you feel your top being tugged. Bonnie looks at you, innocently, with almost a wonder in his eyes, coupled with the smallest smile on his face.

"You know, I'd go through this all again..."
