#finished s6 the other night and it made me very scared for how the hell this show ends lol

[psychicsolanum]

AOS s4 is crazy good holy shit. The way they challenge our biases by showing a Fitz that is "just like Ward" and still making us understand him and deny his cries that he's a bad person, when, at least I am, so unable to give Ward that same respect. In my mind Ward was completely irredeemable, even though his and Dr Fitz's story are parallel.

I guess Fitz's reaction to that side of himself is far more self aware than Ward's, who was in denial. that definitely helps.

i also really like tying Daisy's arc this season into it, stopping fitz from going down the same self-sabotaging spiral she went through.

The killer and the traitor (part 1)

Ok so first imagine ever... I’m so excited about this!!

Plot: So, basically in this imagine the reader is Nolan’s sister and knew about the supernatural way before they did (they as in Gabe and Nolan) and she is Gabe’s girlfriend but he told her about how he killed Edgar, and she wasn’t very happy about it, read it to find out what happened....

P.s. there is going to be another part ;)

Word Counting : 1601

Pairing : Gabexreader

Warnings : spoilers of s6 ep16

A/n : I So I noticed there aren’t many Gabe imagines and, c’mon, that pretty face deservers some of its own!!! (Don’t think that I like his character, but, ok, lets admit it , he is hot AF)

Y/n was lying on her bed with Gabe, her boyfriend, by her side. She stood there playing with his fingers tangling and untangling his with hers. Everything was quiet, her younger brother, Nolan, was at a study group at library as he had told her, and her parents were gone for a couple of days.

With all the madness that went on at beacon heels the only thing she could do was keep a low profile just like Deaton had asked her to. She was a druid in training for the McCall pack but of course she couldn’t let anyone know about this. It was always better when your loved ones where hidden from the supernatural world. But now her whole world was tearing apart. Her boyfriend, her brother, practically the whole town was going after her friends and she couldn’t do much to help.

It was quiet for too long until Gabe decided to break the silence.

“I killed a kid today, well, not exactly a kid” She heard Gabe telling her.

“What are you talking about” she quickly got up and sat on the bed looking at him straight in the eyes hoping she heard wrong

“Didn’t Nolan tell you anything?” He asked her curiously

“Gabe, what do you mean? Nolan didn’t even come from school today, but… But what the hell are you telling me?“  Y/n replied quickly terrified even at the thought that she was lying next to a killer, a killer who she names her boyfriend.

“I finally got one out of the way, one of the freaks that have been going around the beacon hills terrorizing our home” Gabe said, and Y/n could almost hear how proud he sounded of his doing. He slightly smiled and got on his elbows

She felt her heart break to pieces by his words. Y/n got off the bed and looked at him, tremor visible in her eyes.

“You killed someone? You mean you... you took someone’s life? And.. and you just telling me this like… like it’s nothing?” she replied with her cracking voice

“Hey hey….. y/n, babe… it’s ok…. “He tried to calm her while he got up and went to pull her into a hug which she denied by pushing him away “It was no kid, no person, it was a monster, and I put it out of his misery. It was lying on the ground visibly tortured when me Nolan and Miss Monroe found it” he tried to explain himself, he tried make her see the whole situation by his point of view. “Someone was there before us and gave that creature a lesson but didn’t quite finish the job, so , Monroe asked us to ‘get rid of it’ and when your brother hesitated, I, I couldn’t just sit there and be afraid of it, I just… I just did it….”

Y/n almost felt relieved that her brother couldn’t just take a life that easily, but Gabe? A guy who she would trust with her life? The first serious interest of her teenage life came out to be a murderer? She used to count on him… well… not anymore?

“Are you really that untouched that you caused the death of someone? Did you even know him?” she almost yelled at him rubbing her head to calm the upcoming rage.

“Babe, it was no human it…” he begun explaining

“DID YOU KNOW HIM?” she cut him while screaming at him with fury and teary eyes

“it was Edgar” he replied waiting for her answer while looking at her almost confused… he never really talked to her about all that, just mentioned sometimes that he entered the side of the hunters which didn’t end up well, since y/n started a lecture about how he shouldn’t get involved in a world he didn’t know much about, but of course he wouldn’t listen to her, he was already brainwashed enough. Besides, she couldn’t just uncover her identity.

“Edgar? ... As in …. Nolan’s classmate Edgar ?” Y/n’s voice was lower now by the shock …. “how could you? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? “ She started screaming at him again “you aren’t human Gabe, you are a monster, like all of those who are hunting down innocent lifes just because you can not understand them.” She got off control and continued accusing him “Do you even know what all these people have gone through for you just to be here ? You should be thanking them! They are protecting you they are trying to protect you even now that you hunt them!” as y/n started revealing her secret she stopped as soon as she saw the change in Gabe’s look. In that moment y/n knew there was nothing she could do to make everything as it was ten minutes before.

“How… how do you…..” he started asking but couldn’t quite finish… he lowered his head and took a step back as he tried to get everything in …. So many information were thrown at him and he couldn’t just accept all of it… he was too deep now to change his mind… when he looked back at her his eyes were reflecting two feelings , sadness and disgust. He has betrayed by the person he cared about the most.

“You! You are working for them!” He stated while pointing a finger at y/n accusingly “You have been working for them all this time! Those late night ‘get together’s with your friends weren’t really true after all were they?” He started talking again, his voice low, so low that it scared her. “Why y/n? Why are you on their side? Are you one of them?” He asked even if he already knew all the answers

“Gabe, for the love of god! Please! Concentrate!” She talked back, knowing that she just screwed everything up “ You, you can’t be serious, you are lying, please tell me you are” she said pleading him and completely ignoring his questions “ you can’t be a killer, please” the last part came out of her as a whisper, tears threatened to spill her eyes…

He didn’t know what to do, he was too confused to even think. So many things to deal with… He started pacing in her room but after a while he stopped and came in front of her again grabbing her by her arms, not too tight but enough for y/n to be afraid  

“ You know what? If that is how you see me, then I can’t really help but tell you what I see in you now, you know, since I didn’t really knew the truth before…” he started and y/n could feel the pain in his words “ You think those monsters are your friends” She cut him by telling him through gritted teeth “They are NOT monsters” but Gabe held her tighter and got into her face shouting “LET ME FINISH!!” He took a deep breath and then he opened his mouth again “You know what, they are just using you, you must be blind not to see all the damage they have caused in Beacon Hills. Those creatures are not to be trusted, yet you are trying to protect them. You were a waist of my time after all , I should never come up to you to introduce myself, I should never let myself fall for you. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t even look at you, but I guess it’s never too late” when he stopped, the tears that y/n was trying to hold in all this time were finally running down her cheeks.

“So... that’s it? You just hate me? But you don’t hate yourself for what you’ve done?” She started and saw him close his eyes and started talking before she could continue.

“I never said that” he took a deep breath and he looked at y/n with red eyes from the forming tears. “I never said I hated you” he continued with cracking voice. His grip loosens up and eventually he let her arms free “but I can’t trust you now, now that I know. We can’t continue this, you see me as what you want me to see, and I see the clear picture.” He stopped to take a deep breath just so he can give an end at this once and for all “I think it’s best for us to… to be apart…“he said as he took a step back.

“Well that makes two of us“ Y/n said as the same time she hated herself for doing this. Her voice, just as Gabe’s wasn’t convincing at all.

For once again there was silence in y/n’s room, except her silent sobs that could be heard from time to time that made Gabe more and more heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

“I think … I think I should better leave now” Gabe said as he started walking slowly at her room’s door.

Y/n couldn’t just forget about everything like that but couldn’t exactly be with him, not after what he did, not after her reveal… but still…. She would miss him

“Can you please…” her heartbroken voice was heard and Gabe stood still on his tracks, not daring to turn around and reveal his tears.

“Can I …” She tried to speak to him but it was beyond hard to complete a sentence without sobbing . She turned her head to see him looking at the other way and with one breath she said “ Just give me one last kiss before you go”…

The surrender

Title: The surrender

Pairing: Kai x Reader

Word Count: 4.3K+  

Warnings: romantic, fluff, angst, OOC!Kai

Summary: The reader is gonna marry Kai, but someone from his past comes to make him pay his debts.  

Notes: This is the story I wrote for the Fandom Writing Challenge, my prompt was gym. This contest is such a great idea! Hope you like the fic :) This fic takes place after s6 of TVD, but some things are different.    

 She had met Kai four years ago. It was like she had been known him since forever. They shared multiple passions together, they had the same interests and the same black humour. She loved the way he used to wake her up in the middle of the night to start deep conversations, kissing her on the cheek so slowly and in a very sweet way, she felt home with him; she loved how they made up after a fight, ending everytime with her unbottoning his shirt and him pushing her closer, so close it would feel like even their skin was too much to separate them; but most of all, she loved how he made the proposal special. He had prepared the house they bought together with roses all around the living room, candles, their song played by the vinyl (Sweater Weather, by the Neighbourhood) and he was wearing a smoking. He kneeled down and he showed her the little blue box in which there was the ring. She was in tears, with her hands on her lips, astonished. Then she smiled, murmuring softly Yes.

Now, he was taking the boxes from his apartment to the new house. She was sitting on the couch, staring at the picture the camera - that he had prepared before that moment - took of them when she said that word. It was the only thing that always made her smile, no matter what.

<< Honey, would you like to help me out a little bit? >> Kai asked, entering in the house with a lot of boxes in his hands, his forehead was sweating.

She giggled, holding back a laughter.

<< Of course, honey. >>

<< Oh, come on, it was just a cute nickname for you! >> he exclaimed, leaving the boxes next to the stairs.

<< Since when you’re so cheesy? >> she asked, coming closer to him.

He grabbed her hips, pushing her against him, feeling her heartbeat racing through the chest. He grinned.

<< Since we’re getting married, darling. >> he answered, lowering his voice.

She bursted into laughing, covering her mouth with a hand. He liked so much to make her laugh like that, because her smile was brighter than the sun, behind her hand and her laughter was crystalline.

<< It’s so strange. >>

<< What? >>

<< Saying that we’re engaged. It’s weird. >> she said, while his hands were still laying on her hips.  

<< Well, get used to it, because I’m gonna tell everyone that you’re mine, from now on. >> he replied, then he kissed the tip of her nose and got back to the boxes.

<< You already are, Kai. >>

He stopped for a second, then shrugged, smiling like an idiot.

<< Yeah, I am. >>

She rolled her eyes: that guy was gonna be the end of her.

 It was late, when she felt these kind of kisses on her left cheek. It was more like lips were touching her skin very softly, she was barely aware of them. She moaned, hoping that Kai would leave her alone, because she really wanted to sleep - she had to get up early in the morning -, but he didn’t. He kept going, caressing her arm, slipping down to her hand, then he went back, like he was driving a car and he stopped on her hip, drawing circles on it. It was his way to make her know that he had to talk to her, that it was important.

She snorted.  

<< Are you going to repay me after this at least or I just have to stay up for nothing? >> she asked, her voice a bit low.

<< I’m gonna make it up to you, I promise babe, but can you just turn around and look at me now, please? >> he replied and his voice was rough, it made her shiver, but there was also a tone of concern in it. She didn’t like it.

The clock was striking: 4AM. Like always. She turned in order to look at him. He was barely illuminated by the moon. His left side was bright, but the rest was covered by the dark. He didn’t want her to notice it, but there was fear in his eyes. He couldn’t trick her, to be honest. She was the only person who really knew him.

<< Kai, what’s wrong? >> she asked in a sweet way.

He took her hand in his, brushing his lips on it, like children do. It was his way to calm down, because it made her more real and she was his anchor.

<< What if… hypothetically… there was someone looking for me? Someone from my past, that I didn’t tell you about? >> Kai asked, remembering that figure he saw while he was taking the boxes in the house. He recognized him, of course. He didn’t change in all that time.

She tried to catch his gaze, but he avoided eye contact with her. Damn, he was surely hiding something relevant! He was looking at the ring on her finger, bright under the stars’ shine.

<< You’re gonna tell me everything or you’re gonna tell me everything, there’s no in between. >> she responded.

He put a hand through his hair, breathing out the air. He needed more oxygen. She was his oxygen. He couldn’t allow himself to lose her.

<< I can’t. >> he answered closing his eyes, even if he knew that it was gonna piss her off, because she hated when he did this, but he had to keep her safe.

She slowly held back her hand from him, looking anywhere but him.

<< Then, we’ve got a problem. >>

He clenched his jaw.

<< I’m sorry. >>

She nodded, biting her bottom lip.

<< Yeah. >>

<< Don’t be mad. >>

<< Are you kidding me, Kai? >> she asked, totally angry, switching the light on. He sat on the bed immediately, as soon as she got up from it. << What the hell is happening? Who’s coming for you? >>

<< I was joking, okay? It was just a joke. >> he said, smiling, but it was a fake one and she knew it.

<< Damn Kai, I know when you’re lying. It’s not a game! What happened? >>

He thought about it, about confessing her who he was before, about the merge with his siblings, about the others letting him go for mercy, but that was his life before her. He wasn’t that person anymore. But, also, she would have looked at him with different eyes and he couldn’t let it happen.

<< Promise me you’re not gonna forget your feelings about me. >>

She gulped, her heart skipped a beat.

<< You’re scaring me. >>

<< Just promise me. Do it, please. >>

She looked at the ground, torching her hands. She moistened her lips, before talking.

<< I won’t. >>

He breathed out, relieved.

<< Come here. >>

She got back to bed, her arms around his waist and his hands caressing her hair. She didn’t feel safe, that night. There was something wrong and she had to discover what it was. But, despite everything, when she closed her eyes, listening to Kai’s heartbeat, she fell asleep almost instantly.

                                                                ***

 She was getting dressed to go to the office, when someone knocked at the door. Kai went to open, she heard his footsteps from downstairs. She finished to put her hair in a ponytail, when Kai asked to the visitor something with low voice. She decided to investigate, so she went downstairs slowly, without being heard. A guy with dark hair was talking to him and he seemed very angry.

<< Now that I’ve found you, Bonnie’s gonna lock you up forever. >>

<< Look, I don’t want trouble. I’ve changed. I won’t come after you or Elena or Bonnie or anyone, this time. >>

<< Oh, sure as hell you won’t, because we’re gonna send you again to a prison world. >> he answered, grabbing his wrist.

<< Damon, please… don’t make me do it. >>

<< Kai? >> she called.  

He turned to face her. His eyes grew wide, frightened. The last thing he wanted was she getting hurt. And Damon would have done it. They voted, but Damon and Bonnie weren’t glad to see him leaving Mystic Falls, even if the majority of the others let him go. They were afraid he could harm somebody. He didn’t.

<< Y/N, go away! >> Kai exclaimed.

<< Who’s she? >> Damon asked, then he saw the ring. << Are you getting married? While Elena’s still in a coffin because of you? No, no, no, if I can’t have the happy ending with the woman I love, neither are you! >> Damon said, just a second before he could run onto you.

But Kai was faster and when she was about to get bitten by a vampire, he sucked some of his life from his wrist with a hand, knocking him out. She looked at him, afraid of what he could do to her too for the first time in years. He took a step to get closer to her, but she took a step back, instead. It was the moment he realized he had lost her. It hurt his heart like only a punch could do.

<< I would never, never, hurt you in any way possible. >> he said, showing his hands. A bit of electricity seemed to jump from one finger to another, because it was the first time he used magic since he got away from Mystic Falls.

The tears burned behind her eyes.

<< You already did. >>

Kai felt his heart fall from his chest to his stomach. Feelings were really the most horrible thing to handle in a human life. He tried to be human, he did, a lot, but it wasn’t him. He still liked the smell of magic, the power running through his veins, the way it made him feel. Powerful. Indistructible. Whole. Not damaged, like his father always told him. Not evil. Not fragile.

<< I’m not human, Y/N. >>

<< That was pretty clear to me. >> she replied, crossing her arms.

<< I come from a prison world in which I was put after I… >> he stopped, gulping. He couldn’t reveal all of his story to her. She would have looked at him differently. She wouldn’t recover after this. << Look, I did terrible things and my coven, the Gemini coven, kicked me out from there and they were right, but then I changed. I made ammend for my mistakes. I’m not that man anymore, you know it. >>

<< How could I be so sure of that, Kai? >> she asked and her voice was trembling.

<< I’m the same man who asked you to marry him. You loved me yesterday and you have to love me today, still. >> he answered, clutching his shirt where his heart was laying. His eyes were circled in red and he looked so tired, old. It was like he was a totally new person. A stranger. << I do. >>

<< I don’t know if it’s still like this anymore. >> she reponded and her voice cracked down.

His heart broke into millions of tiny little pieces. He could feel them so sharp, they could even cut him from the inside and make him bleed, like fragments of a glass could do with the palms of the hands. He tried to breathe, but it was like he was going under, adrift, without his anchor. He was drowning. Then, the worst thing that could happen, was now real. She took the ring from her finger and gave it to him. He shaked his head, but she grabbed his hand and put it on his palm. He clenched his fingers around the ring, biting the inner of his cheek, until he could taste the metallic sense that the blood leaves.

Damon got up. He was furious. The first thing he did was sending her across the room. She tossed, after she was thrown away against a wall. Kai got immediately angry at him, so he used magic to fling Damon onto the ceiling. Damon took a stick from a chair, hurt Kai’s leg and then went straight to her. She tried to crawl back, but her head hurt.

<< You don’t wanna do it, Damon. >> Kai threatened.

<< I want to, Kai. >>

She looked back to see if something could help her, but she didn’t know what to do. It was like her brain freezed. Could she use a pillow? A lamp? Maybe she could throw a lamp against him. She made it fall from the table, along with the photograph of the proposal. The glass of the frame broke. Kai saw it, while the last magic he had sucked from Damon, was slipping away from his hands and it hit him in the chest.

<< I surrender. >>

She looked at him, her eyes grew wide. No, he couldn’t do it! He couldn’t play the part of the surrender, just to save her!

<< You, what? >> Damon asked, turning to look at him.

<< I surrender. Just leave her alone. Please. >>

Damon grinned, raising an eyebrow.

<< Great. Now let’s go to Mystic Falls. >>

Kai gulped, standing in front of the door. Damon went away, faster than anyone could ever do. Kai was about to use some teleportation? She didn’t know, but she couldn’t let him doing it alone.

<< I’ll come with you. >> she whispered, trying to get up.

<< If I have to die, I have to do it alone. >>

A sob slipped away from her throat.

<< You know I love you, right? >>

Kai’s lips trembled, then he nodded, not able to talk.

Then, she saw him disappearing from her visual range. So she jumped from the floor, in order to reach him, running to fill the distance that tried to take them apart and finally hugged him, holding him tight, fading away with him.

 It happened just before they got together. It was raining outside and it was very late, that night. They had been known each other for weeks, but she never moved a step, even if he kept gazing at her or winking at her. Everytime she saw him training in the gym, it was like her heartbeat was going faster and faster, looking at his muscles, his body, his rings that continued to shine under the lights… there was something, something dangerous, that had attracted her to him and she had to vent the repressed lust making exercises. She waited and waited and waited, until she couldn’t do it anymore.

So, she waited for everybody to go out from the male dressing room, except for him and then she entered. She heard the sound of a shower, biting her bottom lip, because of the dirty thoughts she had about him. She wasn’t supposed to had them, he was her friend after all, but luckily they weren’t so close to make the situation weird. That was her opinion about their relationship, at least. The sound stopped. She listened to his footsteps coming closer, until he went out from the shower with a towel tied to his hips and one another between his hands to dry his hair. He noticed her, put the towel away and looked at her. At the beginning he was surprised, but then he grinned.

<< Took you long enough, uh? >>

She gulped, less confident in what she wanted to do or say. Now she was paralyzed by fear. What if he didn’t feel like her? What if he didn’t want something more than a night of passion?

<< What? >> she asked, her voice sounded like a murmur.

<< I was wondering… >> he replied, moving closer to her, his voice rough and low, with water slipping away from his hair and his lips so red, it seemed like blood. Her heart began to race. << …if you’d ever do something about this situation. >>

She shaked her head, trying to focus on his words and not on his damn chest.

<< What situation? >>

<< Oh, you know, >> he answered, caressing a limb of his towel with his fingertips. He was teasing her, she got it. Hell, she hated him, << the fact that you’re disperately trying to stay away from me, even if the only thing you want is to rip my clothes off and… >>

She couldn’t wait anymore. He wanted it, she wanted it, they both wanted it. She kissed him. Their lips moved in sync, like they were supposed to meet as two pieces of the same puzzle a long ago, but they couldn’t and now they were recovering the past. He pushed her against the wall, taking control of the situation, his fingertips moving up on her hips, crashing his lips against hers twice, three times, four times, until she had to stop him to catch her breath.

<< I’ve been wanting this for… >> << Me too. >> he said, putting a lock of her hair behind her ear with softness. It didn’t seem like him, after what they had just done.  

She looked in his eyes and saw torment, melancholy, but also sweetness, that kind of sweetness that comes from pain. She had noticed that just now.

<< I don’t want to ruin anything between us, Kai. >> she said and got his attention.

<< You won’t. This can just get better and better. >> he responded, smiling and that maybe was the moment in which she fell for him.

She didn’t know why, but falling in love with Kai felt like falling in love with the devil.

 She crumbled on top of him, falling on the ground. He looked at her, astonished. Then, he bursted into laughing. Why the hell was he laughing? Was it funny? She was about to lose him forever and he was laughing?

<< You’re such an idiot, Kai! >> she exclaimed, trying to stand up.

<< This reminds me the first time we got laid, in the gym, remember? >>

She blushed, standing up.

<< I hate you. >>

<< Liar. >>

He got up after her, checking if the ring was still in the jean’s pocket, then looked around them. That was Mystic Falls. Damn, he wished to never see that place again.

<< What’s this place? >> she asked, confused.

It was the time to tell her the truth. He didn’t want to do it, he just wanted to keep her away from his past, he wanted to be a better person for her, the person she already thought he was, but it was hard now. He was gonna lose her forever.

<< I caused harm, in the past, to some people… well, a lot of people, but they let me go. Sadly, two of them were in disagree with the others and now they want revenge, I suppose. >>

She crossed her arms.

<< What did you do to them? >>

Not Why didn’t you tell me? or You’ve been a liar since the moment I’ve met you. She gave him the chance to explain.

<< It’s complicated. >> he answered.

She sighed.

<< We’re gonna fix this and then you’ll tell me anything at home, okay? >>

<< Home? >> he asked, shocked. He thought there wasn’t a home to come back to, he thought she didn’t forgive him, but maybe she did. Maybe she… Oh. Oh, no. He closed his eyes, breathing out. Her eyes were like an open door to her heart. She was just tired, that was the truth, tired of his lies and his silences. << Yeah, we’re gonna talk at home. >>

That would have been the last time they could. He was sure about that.

She followed him, while he was placing the ring she gave him in the necklace he had around his neck. She was behind him, walking calmly, but he could feel her heart going fast, concerned.

<< Why did you follow me, Y/N? >> he asked, outside the Salvatore’s house. She didn’t answer. << I mean, you could have just remained at home, thinking about a new life, thinking that I was better than I really am. It would have been… >>

<< …easier. >> she finished the sentence for him. He turned to look at her. << Yeah, I could. Damn me and my stupid feelings about the man I was supposed to marry, I guess. >>

Kai closed his eyes. The sense of guilt grabbed his throat and cut his vocal cords. He understood it, he just wanted her to say it, to say that she still cared about him, somehow.

<< I’m sorry. >> he said, opening his eyes, cirlced in red and glossy. << I’m sorry I dragged you into this. >>

She nodded.

<< Me too. >>

 << I’ve been wanting this for… >> << Me too. >>

 He knocked. Two seconds later, Damon opened the door and grabbed him by his collar.

<< Whoa dude, calm down! >> she exclaimed, opening her palms in front of her chest, to make him understand they came in peace. << He just surrendered to you, show a little respect for your enemy, couldn’t you? >>

He shaked his head, looking at her.

<< Why are you here? >>

<< Who’s she? >> a blonde girl asked. << Kai was the only one supposed to be here. >>

<< She’s his fiancé. >> Damon replied.

<< What? >> another girl asked, surprised. << She’s not wearing any r… >> she was saying, but then she interrupted, when she looked at Kai’s chest, where the ring was, tied to his necklace.

Y/N looked at him too and she saw it. She held her breath. It was like a demonstration of his love for her. She was angry with him, she was furious, but the guy she had been known for four years was a different person. He wasn’t bad, he wasn’t violent, he wasn’t kind either, but he was one of the good guys and she loved him. She loved him with every inch of her body.

<< Are you insane? Are you crazy? >>

<< Caroline! >> the other girl called.

<< Bonnie, that would be the only motivation to be with a sociopath like him. >>

<< No, wait, maybe there’s another explanation. >> she stated. << Since the merge with Luke and Liv, he changed. Now he’s kind of different, I think. That’s why he found someone who loves him. >>

Damon shaked his head, still holding Kai by his collar.

<< I don’t care. That’s his fault, if Elena’s in a coffin. He’s gonna pay for that. >>

<< Wait. >> Y/N said, trying to be brave, to show confidence, like that time in the gym. << Maybe there’s something Kai could do to fix your problem. Can you, Kai? >> she asked him, looking in his eyes, praying him to show them compassion.

She basically begged him to let himself go (for her).

<< Yeah, there is. >> he replied. He heard her pray.  

She breathed out, relieved. Then, he started to talk.

 They got home. He knew he had to tell her the whole story, he knew he had to be honest with her, but he also knew that he hide a lot of terrible things to her and they were hard to digest. They stopped on the doorstep. She had her back laying on the door, while he was staring at her, the keys between his fingers, moving, trembling. He was scared of what she could say. He almost prepared for a death sentence.

It never came.

<< I think you have something that belongs to me. >> she said.

He gulped.

<< What? >>

She glanced at the ring on his chest. He nodded, understanding it. He took the ring away fromt he necklace and gave it to her. His fingers met hers for a second and that contact made her shiver. He didn’t seem to have noticed it, because his eyes were locked into hers.

<< I thought I was gonna lose you. >> she affirmed, putting the ring around her finger.

<< Look, Y/N… >>

<< No, let me finish. >> she interrupted him. << I’m still angry about the lies and I still don’t understand a lot of things about your past, but I believe that you’re different, now. The fact that you didn’t attack Damon until you had to and that you surrendered to him, even if it meant losing everything, shows me that you’re still the same. You’re still the same guy I had feelings about and I remember it. >> she explained, referring to the promise she made him earlier. He clenched his jaw, gulping. She forgave him, even after all the awful things he had done, someone loved him enough to forgive him. He held back his tears, that were burning behind his eyes. << I fell for you that night in the gym, Kai. >> she said and a sob slipped away from her lips. He felt the urge to grab her hand, but he stopped himself. << I don’t know if it’s toxic or fair that I’m in love with you, but I am and I don’t want to throw away everything that we’ve built. >>

Kai nodded.

<< Neither am I. >>

Y/N’s lips trembled.

<< Do you love me? >>

He caressed her cheek. He needed to feel her skin against him, her warmth.

<< Of course, I do. >>

She hugged him. She held him so tight, her knuckled turned white. She closed her eyes, hoping that everything could be alright, finally. Just feeling him so close to her, was like being home again. He wasn’t the bad guy anymore, even after all the terrible things he had done. He was just her boyfriend.
