lancer } { be still my heart cause I'm freakin' out

[judgy]

Bonnie Bennett doesn't freak out. Except she kinda is.

This date had been her idea, why is she so nervous? She wasn't nervous when she left his room. She wasn't nervous when she informed Elena. Asked if maybe she could find someone else to stay with tonight? Ya know, in case...stuff happened. There could totally be stuff. (There's always stuff. But this might be ... naked-er stuff?)

It takes her an hour and a half to pick an outfit. Red shirt. Jean skirt. Her best boots. Leather jacket. And what is potentially the most important part, the red lace underneath. In case stuff. Then there's her hair, which she almost straightens, but leaves as is. After all, he got half-naked with her earlier with it curly, why go through the effort?

Why is she acting like this? She and Chris have been aggressively and excessively making out almost since they met. She should be totally calm. What the hell is wrong with her?

She's putting the last touches on her make-up when the knock at her door almost makes her jump out of her boots.

Shit. Shit shit shit. She is so not ready for this.

But she's gonna open the door, smile, and pretend she can't hear her heart in her ears anyway.

Chris doesn't take quite as long as Bonnie to get ready, mostly because there are only so many configurations of certain outfits he can wear. But he does take his time to look good before making his way over to Bonnie and Elena's dorm and knocking on the door.

He's not nervous. Or at least he's telling himself he's not. He just knocks on the door and waits quietly for Bonnie to answer.

As soon as she lays eyes on him, she almost changes her mind. They didn't have to have dates to be dating, right? She could just...yank him inside and skip to the physical part, right? The part where his hands are all over her, and his mouth finds all the right spots, and there's no space between them...

Instead, she takes a breath and tries to be cool. Even though she's absolutely positive he's already seen the look in her eye and knows exactly where her mind just was.

"Hi."

Yep. That's all she's got.

"Hi."

He grins a bit at that, before taking a step back and gesturing with one arm ahead of him. He knows where her mind just was, but the date will be worth it. He's sure of that.

"Shall we?"

[judgy]

Bonnie smiles, thankful one of them seems to have a good handle on that thing called self control. Stepping out into the hall with him, her hand finds his without a thought.

"Where to?" She assumes he has a place in mind, having suggested dinner over something else.

He takes a deep breath, before jerking his thumb towards the direction of the college town while he looks for a quiet place to orb them from. "I was thinking that we should check out this new club in town, if that works for you."
