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

Chapter 3: Reunited After...

~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, while still walking through the dirty alleyways, Bonnie recognises a very distinct building that he knows is practically right around the corner from your dad's mansion so he quickens his pace as desperation claws at him, demanding to finally see you or anyone he knows. He steps out into the public street again, hoping he won't have to be gawked at for long, and walks past the busy shop he recognised that has plenty of people standing in or around it, going on about their day. Ignore the eyes. He fiddles uncomfortably with the sleeve on his jumper as he slips past a group of people waiting to cross the street as a bunch of cars speed past, hearing them whispering to each other and share looks of confusion, shock, fear. Disgust. Some of them don't raise their eyes thankfully, some just looked scared or confused and some look like Bonnie's mere existence is an insult to everything in the world but no one dares move, even an inch, from where they're standing.

~~~~~~~~~~

Bonnie takes a hard right around the last corner he has to take to your dad's mansion, letting out a slight whimper as all the eyes on him fade away in an instant and he looks dead ahead to get rid of the remaining feeling of being in a spotlight. There is not a soul around here so Bonnie can comfortably walk along the pathway leading to the mansion that he can see in the distance. It seems to be slightly bigger than he remembers but that's just him. Impatience gets to him so he shakes his head because of it before beginning to run to the building which strangely makes him feel better as he moves, but he doesn't dwindle on that feeling as he gets closer and closer to the garden at the front of the house. At least this place still looks nice as it is full of bright colours, coupled with lovely smells from all the flowers and plants. There's a subtle, gentle breeze as Bonnie finally gets in front of the mansion and he stares at it for a moment, listening to the massive water fountain directly in front of him, suddenly getting a strange gut feeling about all this, but he ignores it, dismissing it as simple nerves for some reason. He turns to his left to begin to walk again, not exactly to the front door, but rather to a gazebo not too far away and surrounded by flowers because he can see someone standing in it with their back to him. The closer he gets the more his heart races because he finds that it's you standing there, staring out into nothing, with a closed book in your hands as you lean on the railing, seemingly deep in thought and relaxed as your shoulders slowly raise up and down while you breathe. Bonnie walks up the stairs that lead to the gazebo.

"Y/n!!" he exclaims.

You whip around to face him in a single flash and as soon as you realise who you're staring at, you stiffen up, eyes widening, mouth agape as the book slips from your hands, falling to the wooden floor. The same shock-filled face everyone else gave him, just more extreme.

"Y/n...?"

"B-Bonnie...?" You sound as if you're about to cry. "Is it really you?"

"Of course it is. Why? What's wrong?"

You shake your head and bite your lip, seemingly to stop yourself from crying as so many thoughts rush through your mind instantly but you can't move so Bonnie just opens his arms for you to run to. You do not hesitate to do so.

~~~~~~~~~~

He doesn't say anything else, as he doesn't really want to since the feeling of having you encased in his arms again is all he needs right now, so questions can wait and you don't seem to be in the right mood to be asked anything anyway. He can feel you shaking against him. Not long after, you begin to sob, burying your face in his chest more than it already is and holding him tighter while Bonnie rests his head on yours, allowing you to let everything out even if he still doesn't know what is wrong exactly. His mind flashes to back when he was in the dump and he had just woken up after he pressed the button that tells him if anything's wrong. It said he was out for five years. Shivers fly down his spine, wondering if that was really true since it would explain your behaviour and why everyone was staring at him in shock, which would mean they all thought he was dead or missing. That raises so many more new questions.

"Sweetie, tell me what's wrong," Bonnie says.

"I-I thought I would never see you again..." you sob.

Oh no. He really was gone for five years. The pain in your voice tells him everything and he stares off into space, dwelling on that as so many thoughts and questions sprout in his mind but never coming to a conclusion. It cannot be as bad as he's imagining and all the answers he is giving himself can't possibly be true. So then why does he have a sinking feeling to tell him everything is as far from ok as it can get, consuming his brain? Nothing will solve itself so Bonnie huffs and leans back up so he's standing straight as he puts both his hands on your shoulders. You look up at him, with now red eyes from all the tears that are still flowing down your face, and stare back at him.

"What happened?" he asks.

You shake your head slowly but he kisses your forehead reassuringly, and you can't help but smile at the feeling since you've never felt it in so long, but that smile quickly drops.

"Bonnie..." you start,

"you died ten years ago..."

Oh god a cliffhanger. Lord help us all. Also, I was reading back the first couple of chapters on A Malfunction? and....ew. It's so bad, oh my god. I've never cringed so much. I'm so sorry for everyone that read them. Until next time!!!
