HIYA GORGEOUS!! I absolutely adore all that you write and here I am once again to request something (tbh I’ll always be here to request things 🤭). So I’d like to request…

y/n (aka me) is Elijah's best friend but she's never met Klaus, only heard about him. one day she surprises Eli for his birthday so she walks in the compound, not knowing that Klaus is there too. she and Elijah exchange hellos then talk for a bit and before they can leave (Elijah is subtly trying to rush her out), Klaus hears her voice and comes downstairs. I'll leave the details to you but she and Klaus instantly hit it off so much so that it makes Elijah jealous (he's always had a thing for y/n but never said anything be he's afraid of losing their friendship). again, leaving the details to you. can we make it a 2-parter? 1 is jealousy/angst w/ implied smut between y/n and Klaus & 2 is Elijah confessing to y/n his feelings which lead to their first time sex and possible future relationship.

Sorry love if this is too much, it's okay if you're not up for it though! Thanks for even indulging me! 🤍

THIS SCENE MAKES ME GO FERAL

18+ ---- {Masterlist} {Tag-List}

Part One

A drunken hookup with Klaus complicates your friendship with Elijah, leading to an awkward morning after.

♡♡ Thanks for the request sweet Aurora!! This one was a blast to write. But implied smut with Klaus??? Nahhh. No half-measures here. This is for all my Klaus girlies. You can't fix him, but you sure can fuck him. ♡♡

5k words - Warnings: smutttt {with Klaus}, rough sex, mild choking, Klaus being the drama, Elijah hiding his feelings & Rebekah judging you.

{Part Two}

You came rushing through the gates of the compound, carrying so many shopping bags that you could barely see. Your arms felt on fire, but a little strain was worth it all when you remembered who you were doing this for.

Tonight was Elijah's big birthday bash, put together by you and Rebekah, and you wanted everything to be perfect. Elijah had become one of your closest friends, and this celebration was your chance to show him how much he meant to you.

"Eli, I have so much stuff for the party. Where should I put it all?" you ask once you got far enough into the house.

Elijah emerged from the grand living room and came into the foyer to help you. He had an odd look on his face, but you couldn't really pinpoint it exactly. He took the bags from your arms and carried them himself.

"Don't look in them! I want it to be a surprise!" You said, putting your hands over his eyes and guiding him towards the table.

Elijah chuckled, "Fine, Fine. Are you sure all of this is necessary?"

"Absolutely." you said, uncovering his eyes. "You only turn 1040 once," you joked, causing the pair of you to laugh.

It was over-the-top as shit, but a girl had to take any opportunity to give a Mikaelson a birthday they would remember, and then some.

Elijah's smile faltered a bit as he looked around the courtyard nervously. "Will you be returning home to get ready for tonight?" He asked, trying not to sound hopeful.

"I'm actually getting ready here with Bekah, why? Have a hot date you are hiding from me?" You teased, unaware of the way Elijah's body stilled at your words.

"Oh no darling, no date, just a brother he wants to hide," said an accented voice from the second level balcony.

Elijah let out a rough sigh as you turned to see Klaus stepping down the stairs towards you both.

You had heard of the legendary hybrid of course, but since you met Elijah you had yet to run into him. In fact, this was the first time you had seen Klaus in person and were unaware of the true look of him. Which made you almost go weak in the knees.

He was hot, like 'fuck me right now hot' and it took everything in you not to drool. It didn't surprise you, all the other Mikaelsons were extremely attractive, so it only stood to reason their infamous hybrid brother would be also.

You could tell by the look on his face he found you just as attractive, and with a devilish smirk, he seemed to say ‘I will fuck you right now if that's what you wish’

"Hello love, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," he drawled before bringing your hand up and kissing it softly.

You wanted to hate him. Klaus had been notorious for so long for his tantrums and viciousness. But one look and just a touch from his lips and you knew you were doomed.

"T-Thanks," you said, pulling your hand back.

Klaus tucked a piece of hair behind your ear and ran a thumb across your cheek.

"Are you blushing for me? Can't say I blame you, love," he said cockily.

Elijah rolled his eyes at his younger brother's antics, but as Klaus lingered on your skin he felt a stir of possessiveness settle in his bones. He cleared his throat, shooting his brother a glare,

"I would love some help setting up the party for your brother," you asked Klaus, hoping to spend more time with him, his charm quite intriguing.

"It's alright, I can help you," Elijah insisted, not wanting Klaus to interact with you for a multitude of reasons.

"It's supposed to be a surprise for you Eli,” you pouted, which caused Elijah to soften at your cuteness.

"I've got it handled, Eli," Klaus teased, emphasizing the nickname you used for him.

Elijah looked between the two of you, clearly wanting to decline your request and keep you both apart. But alas, for some reason, he couldn't come up with a legitimate reason.

Klaus grabbed your bags and walked off, you began to follow, turning back to give Elijah a wide smile. "See you tonight, birthday boy," you exclaimed happily before hurrying off after the younger Mikaelson.

You spent all afternoon decorating with Klaus, who insisted you call him Nik. He was somewhat sweet but full of himself. Yet, you enjoyed his company, he had a good eye for décor and matched your vision effortlessly.

"Have I accomplished my mission?" he asked. He brought a champagne bottle up, pouring two glasses and giving you one.

You leaned against the pillar with him and clinked your drinks together. "I'd say so, yes. Thank you so much for helping me."

"It was no trouble at all," Klaus said, then smirked at you over his glass. "You are quite stunning, love."

You grinned at his comment, "you should see me after I get all dressed up for tonight," you flirted, even though it sounded more like a challenge to him.

Klaus downed his drink then placed it on the table. Without warning, he pinned you to the pillar and trapped you against him. "Oh I plan on doing more than looking tonight," he said as his hungry eyes traveled over your body.

"I see you two have finally met, how wonderful," Rebekah commented, disrupting the moment.

You laughed nervously, glad for the interruption, gently pushing Klaus off of you. As much as you wanted to jump Klaus then and there, something held you back. And you knew what, or rather, who was keeping you from acting on your desires...

"We were just having some champagne," you tell her, taking another drink.

"I see that, the decorations look amazing by the way," she complimented as she poured herself a glass as well. "Catering has arrived, they are setting everything up downstairs," she informed you, letting you know you should probably get ready.

"I'll go get dressed then. Thank you again, Nik." You smiled at him again, and he grinned in response.

"I think I'm owed a dance for my hard work," he told you as you walked away with Rebekah.

You looked over your shoulder at him and gave him a wink, excited for the party to begin.

Once you were upstairs and away from Klaus, Rebekah spoke quietly to you. "Be careful with him, he's not like Elijah," she warned you.

"No one is like Elijah," you chuckled a bit, ignoring the pang of sadness you felt at the realization you would probably never be with the older Mikaelson.

The two of you spent your time getting ready, sipping on champagne and discussing the numerous guests who would be arriving. You got a little too buzzed, but you were excited and also needed some courage to face an unknown quantity of vampires.

Rebekah always had impeccable taste, helping you pick out a skin tight dress that came a few inches above your knees and accentuated every curve on your body. Adding even more with the tall black heels you slipped on, showing off your legs.

"I'm afraid I might have gone too far," Rebekah chuckled as she applied your makeup, making you look smolderingly hot.

"You think?" You asked sarcastically.

"You look like vampire bait and I'm sure it's going to drive him mad," she snorted, taking another drink.

"Who?" You looked at yourself in the mirror and fixed a smudge of lipstick.

Rebekah gave you a knowing look, but stayed quiet and you just smiled back at her innocently.

When everything was ready and all the guests started arriving, you and Rebekah made a grand entrance into the main parlor. Elijah was talking with someone when his eyes caught you across the room, you wandered over to him and gave him a big hug.

"Happy birthday," you whispered in his ear, as his arms pulled you tighter to him.

"Thank you so much," he said, pulling back just enough to smile at you, his face growing even brighter when he really looked at you.

You noticed the way his eyes traced your figure, taking you all in. The way they darkened a bit with pure desire, making you instantly become hot all over. But it was probably just your imagination, brought on by all the champagne you've been drinking.

You almost made a move right then, but the person he was conversing with interrupted and you found yourself drawn away by Bekah and her friends. Leaving Elijah to watch you from afar as you conversed with them, laughing and drinking.

Hours later, you were still in the middle of the large group of people, even dancing to the music that was blaring through the place. You saw Elijah dancing with a beautiful woman and you wanted to be happy for him, but then the woman whispered in his ear and touched his chest, and your mood immediately soured.

You went to the bar to get a drink, deciding more alcohol might be what you needed to wash away all your confused feelings.

"Thirsty, love?" Asked a familiar voice in your ear as your body was pulled back to collide with a strong chest. You could smell the scent of Klaus's cologne and instantly felt turned on.

"Very," you said, downing your entire shot.

He spun you around to look into your eyes, both of his hands on your waist, drinking in your appearance.

"You didn't have to do all this for me," Klaus teased, his eyes on your chest as he licked his lips. "I'm a sure thing, darling, you know that,"

You couldn't help but laugh. He may have been a lot of things, but he was definitely entertaining. You shook your head, but smiled all the same.

"I only ever dress up for myself, Nik," you sassed back to him, looking up through your lashes.

A slow smirk came to Klaus's face as he leaned in and captured your lips in his. He hummed into the kiss and his grip tightened on you. He pulled away, your lipstick was still on his lips.

You giggled and wiped it off, as he ordered you another drink. Not that you really wanted one but damn, he was good at persuading people.

"I recall that you owe me a dance," he reminded you, taking a sip of his own beverage.

"Oh?" You said innocently, fiddling with the many necklaces he was wearing. "I don't remember agreeing to anything," you flirted.

"Well, perhaps a private dance then," he teased, giving you a mischievous smile.

"Maybe I'll surprise you later," you whispered, leaning in and sucking his bottom lip into your mouth and playfully biting it, loving the look of surprise and arousal on his face.

Then you turned and sauntered away, leaving him standing there at the bar to watch you. You were definitely going to end up in his bed tonight, but you wanted to make him squirm a little. Or rather, a lot.

You moved through the crowd to see Elijah and the woman dancing close, whispering things to each other. Well, actually, only she was talking. He seemed like he wasn't paying too much attention to the conversation she was having with him.

You gave him a wave and a smile, pointing at the woman and giving him an encouraging thumbs up. You don't know why you did it. Your chest did funny things seeing him with someone else though.

He returned your smile but didn't do much else before she spoke in his ear again and he allowed her to lead him out of the crowd.

You guessed Elijah was tired of his own party and went off to have some fun, and you were determined to have the same.

Klaus found you sitting on the couch, a cocktail and a plate of various snacks in front of you. You were thoroughly bored as you couldn't find him again.

He came from behind and crashed beside you, taking the glass out of your hand and finishing it, then set it aside.

"Hey! That was mine," you scolded playfully.

Klaus put his arm around you and kissed your neck. "How about you stop pretending you're enjoying yourself and come upstairs with me?" He suggested.

You laughed, and then he abruptly pulled you up and practically carried you through the door leading upstairs, pinning you to the wall at the top of the steps.

"Nik," you tried to say while laughing. "You can't just haul me off and have your way with me," you protested as his lips got closer to yours.

"Tell me to stop and I will," he taunted, bringing his lips to yours in a rough kiss.

You felt like you couldn't breathe, everything moving so fast. Klaus didn't even give you a chance to respond, lifting you so your legs wrapped around him.

He walked into a room and shut the door, setting you down on his desk. You realized that you were in his infamous art studio, looking around as Klaus hovered over you. You felt his lips on your neck, kissing every inch until you moaned.

Then he found the tiny zipper of your dress and slid it down, exposing your breasts. He smirked, reaching to tweak your nipple as he took you in. "Well then, love. Now I truly see why my brother has hidden you from me," he said huskily.

You giggled at his compliment but then you couldn't form words as he yanked the rest of your dress off you. You sat on the desk naked, save for your heels and nothing else.

"Dear lord, you are gorgeous," Klaus muttered, touching you everywhere.

You pulled him close by his shirt collar and locked lips. You bit his bottom lip harshly and he growled, his eyes flashing gold. The way his eyes changed on you was the hottest thing you've seen.

You pulled his shirt off him, tossing it to the floor before unbuckling his belt, wanting him as naked as you were. Once you had him bare, you raked your nails down his chest and he chuckled.

"You want to play rough, don’t you love?" He whispered as he nipped at your neck.

"Maybe," you teased, "what are you going to do about it?" You questioned, leaning back on the desk a little and spreading your legs for him, getting wet at the promise of a wild night.

Klaus's breath hitched when you touched yourself for him, his eyes completely transfixed on you. He was definitely intrigued by how confident you were.

"Well then," he growled before he roughly pinned your legs open, his hands squeezing your thighs harshly. He brought your body to the edge of the desk, kneeling in front of you as he ran a thumb over your dripping wet center.

He hummed at your scent as he pulled you forward a bit more to devour you, making you yelp in surprise, your hands tugging on his curls.

He was good, really good, and your toes curled at the pleasure you were receiving. It only got better when you saw his golden eyes as he gazed at you with a possessive glint, the vibrations from his own groans of enjoyment hitting you just right.

But before you could climax he pulled back and stood up, making you whimper and sit up on the desk, wanting him to continue.

Klaus chuckled at your impatience, pulling you into another searing kiss as you moaned. He broke it and gave you a smug smile, before wrapping his hand around your throat.

You were panting with need, your hand moving down to his cock and he hissed at your touch. He moved forward so he was resting between your thighs again as you stroked him slowly.

You both stayed this way for a moment, staring at each other. Until finally Klaus couldn't stand it any longer and roughly turned you around to face the desk. He pushed on your back until you were bent over on the wood, making you giggle with anticipation.

He smacked your ass hard, turning your giggle into a gasp as you looked back at him. He did it again and again until it was stinging. You wanted him so badly, it was unbearable.

You reached back for him and he lined up his cock to your entrance, sliding it up and down a few times until you were nearly shaking. He finally gave in and pushed into you, his hand tugging your hair until you arched into him, and he sank into the hilt.

He hissed at the sensation and you were about to tell him to move but he started fucking you without you needing to, hard and rough and perfect. He had you moaning with each thrust as you grabbed onto the desk, holding on tight as his body collided with yours, skin slapping as you got closer to climaxing.

It was hot and a little dirty, just what you had needed. Your moans only spurred him on as his hands explored your body while he took you from behind. The force of his thrusts causing items on his desk to clatter to the floor, but you both were far too gone to care.

He wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you back into him, making you stand so his other hand could roam your front. He moved up to massage your breast while pinching and tugging on your nipple until you moaned. He was clearly determined to make you come first and was going to enjoy doing it.

"Nik!" you whined his name when he pinched you a bit too harshly. You felt his lips on your neck, his fangs grazing the skin as he left hickeys.

You tilted your head for him and he smirked, licking your pulse point and gently nibbling. His thrusting becoming erratic as his hand slipped to your clit to rub fast circles until your legs started trembling and you let out a scream as your orgasm crashed into you.

He hummed in approval and thrust into you a few more times before you felt him filling you up with his cum, and you giggled from the sensation. He released you from his grasp and you leaned back down on the desk, turning around to face him.

You both were sweaty and exhausted but extremely satisfied. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close, placing soft kisses all over your face as you giggled again, trying to move away from him.

He grabbed your dress and handed it to you before slipping on his pants, leaving his shirt off. He gave you a soft kiss on the lips and then turned away, starting to pick up the fallen objects from his desk and placing them in their correct places.

You watched him in a daze, your body tingling as you pulled your dress back on.

"So, love, my room is right next door, if you care to continue our celebration?" He said with a smug smirk, giving you a wink.

You giggled again and nodded, knowing it was probably the alcohol giving you your confidence, but you were going to ride the wave (and him) until the end.

Klaus woke to find you peacefully asleep in his bed. He leaned down to give you a gentle kiss on your forehead as you stirred slightly.

It was quite a night.

He took his time to admire your body and then your beautiful face. The way your eyelashes brushed your cheekbones as you slept, and your lips were parted slightly.

He got out of bed and got dressed, heading downstairs to find some blood and coffee. Elijah was in the kitchen reading his morning paper and looking every bit as dignified as always.

Klaus poured himself some coffee and started drinking it. He glanced around and saw there was no one else there but his brother, and he was smirking before he even opened his mouth.

"How was your night, Elijah?" He asked teasingly.

Elijah took his time to respond. He folded his paper up, placing it beside him as he eyed his younger brother suspiciously, he always had an innate sense to when Klaus was up to something.

"Quite fine. Why do you ask?"

Klaus's smirk grew bigger. He didn't say anything else and went about making himself something to eat. He felt Elijah's eyes boring into him the whole time, knowing that he wanted an answer but Klaus wouldn't give it to him just yet. He just loved torturing his big brother, even after a thousand years it was still highly entertaining.

"Your friend is an excellent host," Klaus started off with, his back turned as he chopped some fruit to put into a smoothie. He could almost hear the wheels turning in Elijah's mind as he tried to figure out where Klaus was going with this. "You really should have introduced me to her sooner."

Elijah sighed heavily. Klaus glanced behind him, and he had an annoyed expression on his face. He wasn't getting anything from Elijah so he turned to face him, his smirk returning.

"I showed her how much I appreciated her hard work last night. Several times actually, in my studio, a few times in my bed and then in the shower," he added as his smirk got wider and his tone became suggestive. "I dare say I've never been ridden so spectacularly before in all my years,"

Elijah abruptly stood, opening his mouth to say something, but that's when Klaus turned on the blender. Looking at Elijah apologetically and holding a finger to his ear and shrugging his shoulders.

"What's the matter brother?" he shouted over the blender. "You look a bit upset. You know it's not very healthy to bottle up all of your feelings,"

He stopped the blender and poured himself a glass, then another for Elijah as he handed it to him. Elijah just glared at him and poured the smoothie down the drain, setting the glass in the sink.

"That's rather rude, Elijah," he scolded teasingly. "I made that just for you,"

"Have you no shame, Niklaus?" He asked harshly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Noooo, shame is for boring people," he taunted. "Why are you so upset? Aren't you happy for your friend? I can assure you that she enjoyed herself immensely,”

Elijah snapped. He couldn't take anymore. He walked over and grabbed Klaus by the shirt collar, and shoved him against the wall roughly, holding him in place.

"You know how I feel about her and yet you slept with her anyway," Elijah seethed.

Klaus raised his eyebrow. "If you want her, then you should of taken her yourself," he snapped, his eyes flashing gold in challenge. "It's your loss anyway," he added, shoving him back and adjusting his collar, then smoothing out his shirt.

Elijah was livid. He knew it was just Klaus's way of being obnoxious, but that didn't make it any easier to handle.

"I can't get the vision of her tits bouncing in my face out of my mind, Elijah," Klaus taunted him again. "Perhaps if you're lucky, you'll get to experience it for yourself," he said, brushing past his brother and walking away with a laugh.

You woke in Klaus' bed with a terrible hangover and an empty spot beside you. You sat up, your head spinning a bit as the memories of the night before came flooding back.

Oh God, you slept with Elijah's brother.

You covered your face in embarrassment. You got drunk, got laid and it was with the worst person you possibly could of picked.

Elijah was going to kill you. He's been protecting you from his brother and here you go, having sex with him in his bed. You could imagine how disappointed he was in you right now.

You quickly got dressed and made your way downstairs, needing some coffee and possibly a few pain pills to try and take the edge off your headache.

Klaus was walking away from the kitchen, a devious smirk on his face. When he saw you, his grin got even bigger, but he said nothing, just gave you a wink.

You turned red in embarrassment and dashed into the kitchen, finding Elijah sipping his morning coffee while reading his paper. He looked up when he saw you enter and then he folded the paper and placed it on the island.

"Morning," he started off in a professional tone. You hated how he sounded.

You grabbed a mug and poured the liquid into it. Elijah was silent as he waited for you to face him, and once you had taken a few sips, he was standing in front of you.

He pushed your hair off your neck and a flash of Klaus' mouth sucking and nibbling on you last night, appeared in your mind. You were definitely covered in marks and hickeys.

"I see you had fun," Elijah muttered, and you saw him look over your appearance, the slight smudged make-up, messy hair and rumpled dress from last night.

He wasn't usually one to judge someone else's life choices, but this was his brother and you. It seemed more personal.

You blushed and pushed your hair back over your shoulder, so his eyes would stop staring at your neck. You needed a cold shower or something, the entire night was still feeling extremely vivid.

"Look Elijah, I'm so sorry, he just caught me at the right moment and I got a little drunk and..." you trailed off, taking a drink of coffee to calm your nerves. You really didn't have any good excuse to give him.

"It's alright, you can be with whoever you choose," Elijah stated in a collected tone.

You frowned and saw him adjusting his cuff-links. A sure sign he was upset. He always did that when he was angry or hiding what he was truly feeling.

"It was just a one time thing," you added, but you felt like he wasn't listening to you anymore.

Elijah was acting strange. Sure he could be an enigma sometimes, but this was different. He looked determined but a little annoyed, and you weren't quite sure how to read the situation. You decided to steer the conversation away from Klaus and what had happened between you two.

"How was your night?" You finally thought to ask. "I saw you leave with a woman, you looked like you were having fun," you said it teasingly, hoping it would lighten up the mood.

But now it was his turn to blush.

"Fine, really. It was fine," he muttered, fixing the already perfect knot in his tie. Now that was definitely something. Elijah rarely ever got tongue tied. "We kissed and I walked her home," he added, his lips pressing together in a firm line.

"That's all? You didn't...well, you know?" You questioned hesitantly.

"One night stands aren't my forte," he replied, giving you a soft smile. "When I take a woman to bed, I make her mine," his words were possessive and he hadn't taken his eyes off you.

The two of you weren't the kind of friends who discussed your sex life with each other. So when he said this, your cheeks turned hot and your imagination went wild. The idea of him holding you down and having his wicked way with you was something you were definitely interested in.

You both were staring at each other, the tension growing by the second. Then you looked away, you couldn't possibly fuck another Mikaelson in the same twelve hour period. Besides, Elijah meant far more to you than Klaus ever could. Sex with him would probably lead you somewhere complicated, and you didn't want to ruin what you had right now.

The situation was way too weird.

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" You decided to ask, breaking the silence and steering the conversation away from sex. You just wanted to spend some time with him. "Maybe come up to my place? I don't work the next two days," you added, hopeful he would agree to spend time with you, even though he always did, but this time you felt more nervous about it.

It would help things get back to normal, as normal as they could be after what happened with Klaus.

"Sure, Klaus and Rebekah won't be home tomorrow if you would like to come over here instead?" He suggested, your eyes meeting his again.

He had such an intense way of staring into your eyes, that it almost felt like he was looking into your soul.

"Well, it's your birthday so whatever you would like to do," you stated, giving him a sweet smile.

Your phone buzzed, breaking the moment. You grabbed it from your purse and opened the new text from Klaus:

- I'm available if you ever need something to ride again.

You quickly put down your phone, forgetting you had given him your number. You decided you were going to ignore it. There was no way you were going there again.

Elijah looked curious but didn't press.

"I better go home," you said, finishing your coffee and putting it in the sink.

"See you tomorrow," he replied, stepping closer and giving you gentle kiss on the cheek.

You said bye to him and walked out of the kitchen to the courtyard where Rebekah and Klaus were arguing. They both looked over at you, their argument stopping when they noticed you.

"Hello darling," Klaus greeted, his eyes raking over you. Flashes of your evening together running through your mind, and you quickly looked away from him.

Rebekah looked between the two of you and you could see her trying to figure it out, her eyes widening as she stared at you. You quickly hurried out of the compound before either of them could say another word.

devotion

genre : fluff, angst, smut

word count : 12.6k

tags : vampire!female!reader, heretic!kai, protective kai, college, some cursing, minor bullying, mentions of murder, drinking, special appearances of Kol Mikaelson and Klaus Mikaelson, might be some grammar mistakes in here.

a/n: this has been one of the hardest things to do. it took me a week to finish this and polish it. even though at first i wrote this just for myself, for fun, and i was in such a mood to write, eventually, it became something that i wanted to share with the world. but i wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for my favorite TVD writer on this platform, @so-long-soldier28 OR @so-long-soldier-writes (i didn’t know which blog of yours to tag 😭) whose talent has taken my breath away. i want to say thank you for that, you are such an inspiration and such a gifted writer. i hope that somehow, i can inspire you too. ps. 12.6k words is insane for a start.

“Alright, mom, I know-“

“Sweetheart, trust me, you don’t want to miss out on those opportunities”

“Yeah” you sighed, “I gotta go now, until later!”

“Good luck, ____”

Rolling your eyes you grabbed your bag and headed out, locking your apartment door and making your way to the elevator.

Your mom just won’t stop insisting on you going out on dates, it’s almost as if she’s rushing her own daughter into getting married. But you’re just not interested right now, you want to live your life to the fullest, party, have fun, and yes, one day you definitely will find somebody. But now? It’s all about you.

Minutes later you finally reached your destination - your favorite bar in town. This is where you and your best friend Cora decided to meet up for the evening. And there she was, sitting by the bar, chit chatting with the bartender, who in fact, was kind of your type, but seeing how he looks at her, you just push that away and let them do their thing as you sit down right next to Cora.

“I see someone’s having fun batting those eyelashes” you giggle, tilting your head at her.

“Oh, stop, it’s nothing like that”

You roll your eyes and then look at the bartender.

“One tequila sunrise, please” you order and turn your attention back to your best friend.

“So, how’s it going with your mom? Still onto the boyfriend-hunt drama?”

“Yup, still telling me how I should not miss out on opportunities if anyone asks me out, blah blah blah. You know her”

She giggles, taking a sip of her mojito cocktail and sighing.

“Well, you know, maybe she’s right”

“What? No, Cora, I just want to live, okay?” you frown and protest at her immediately. But it doesn’t seem to phase her at all.

“Oh, come on! All of us girlies have someone, well, of course I’m still working on it BUT, how do you find it fun being single?”

“Trust me, I enjoy my own company just enough” you chuckle and thank the bartender as he hands you your drink.

Quite a few hours pass and you are on the dance floor, swaying your hips to the rhythm together with your bestie, music loud and mind a little dizzy from the alcohol that you’ve consumed. Everything is fine until your eyes find someone familiar in the crowd. As he turns sideways to pass through the people, you get the confirmation that it is someone you actually do know.

“Kai Parker” you whisper under your nose, your body stops moving too, and when Cora notices, she grabs you by the shoulders.

“Hey, what’s wrong?!” she shouts over the music.

“Oh, it’s nothing, I just feel a bit dizzy!” you reply, faking a smile. You two continue to dance, but your eyes just wouldn’t stop glancing over at the bar where Kai now sat. As much as you wanted to get out of here, you weren’t going to do so, not even if someone you secretly like is so near.

Someone you like? Yes. It’s crazy, but Kai Parker is your biggest crush. Nobody knows about how much you’re head over heels for him, despite of him being an asshole and knowing what he has done in the past. But right after Luke’s merged with him, he started to change. Even though you didn’t know the old Kai, you did see the good in him somehow. But you told no one, because every single person in this town despised him for all that happened in the past. Even your own mother hated him. But nobody actually seemed to acknowledge the fact that this guy has guilt eating him up every day and night for all that he’s done. Everyone still believes he’s the same old sociopath that he always was. Except you. That is why Kai has been your secret for quite a while now.

Unbeknownst to you, Cora has disappeared into the crowd somewhere while you were daydreaming about him, so deeply that everything around you just felt non-existent. Your heart was beating fast as you still managed to keep dancing, until you felt someone’s hands around your waist.

“Nice moves, you can really dance” it was just some random dude that reeked of beer and you couldn’t stand it, you did not want him touching you or speaking to you.

“Thanks, but I think you should go find someone else to dance with”

“Nah, I think I’ll stick to this pretty girl right here”

Your mood changed completely and you shoved him off of yourself, frowning as you puckered your lips at him.

“I said go find someone else!”

That’s when people started noticing there was something going on, but it was just a few of them, they were drunk, so they just moved away.

“Great, people these days” you muttered, trying to leave as you turned around. But once again, that guy just wasn’t anywhere near ready to give up on you.

“I don’t see anybody else I like in here. You really seem special, darling”

You rolled your eyes at him as he held you by your wrists now, your face super close to his.

“I am not your darling” you said through your teeth and he just giggled, beginning to lean in closer to your lips, which made your eyes fill with tears of fear.

“Let go-“

“Let go of her. Now” you heard a familiar voice coming from behind you, and the man grabbed the guy by the throat as he finally let go of you.

“Get your fucking disgusting barely-haired head out of here before I guide you out myself”

Kai. What is he doing?

“Oh, my apologies, didn’t know you’d leave your girlfriend to dance alone like that. Dick move” the guy laughed in Kai’s face which really pissed him off. His irises enlarged with rage.

“First of all, if she was my girl, I surely wouldn’t let her dance alone. Second of all, when a woman says no, it means NO. Unless you wish to have your oh, so heartless heart ripped out of your chest in front of everyone”

“Kai-“ you tried to interrupt in fear of a possible fight incoming, but he only raised his hand in the air and turned his head to the side, telling you he’s got this.

“Wow, I feel threatened!” the guy acted like whatever Kai said, scared him off. But he just wasn’t going to give up. Doesn’t he know who Kai Parker is? Or does he not fear him at all?

“Oh, I’m not threatening you, I’m just saying what’s a hundred percent going to happen if you don’t apologise and get the hell outta here right now”

“Got nothing to apologise for, she looks really nice. Maybe I should buy her a drink?”

God, this guy just won’t back down.

“What’s going on?!” Cora suddenly ran up to you, grabbing your forearm in fear and confusion.

“That dude just tried to… I don’t even know what he tried to do to me but… Well, you see”

She shook her head and darted her eyes at the two males in front of you.

“Kai is defending you? A sociop-“

“Shush, Cora, he’s got this” you said without thinking, and it made your best friend question this entire situation in front of her eyes.

“One last chance, dumbass, or you’re done for good” Kai raised his voice more and now the whole bar was watching them. Not even the best music blasting through the speakers could make them bust a move.

“I don’t give a flying fuck about your stupid little threats, boy. You’re skinny and weak, got nothing at all on me. I bet she would like a taste of me better, anyways” he looked at you over Kai’s shoulder, a creepy smirk across his face.

“Oh no” you whispered when you saw Kai raise his hand, about to use magic on the guy.

“Motus” Kai chanted angrily and everyone watched the guy fly and hit the wall, his body then dropping to the ground as he groaned loudly. You gasped and covered your mouth in shock. Whatever was going through Kai’s mind, it wasn’t anything promising and it scared you. Yet, you still trusted him.

“He’s going to kill him!” Cora yelled out, but you kept on shaking your head no, because you knew that the old Kai is gone, or at least a part of him is, and that nobody’s going to get killed here tonight. No matter how disgusting of a behavior was shown towards you. Not on your terms.

Kai walked up to that guy with a quick pace, kneeled down and grabbed him by his collar.

“Now, tell me, do you still think I’m weak?”

The male could barely make a sound, but he still managed to speak up. And it still wasn’t what you, Cora, other people or Kai wanted to hear.

“Y-yeah, magic doesn’t… mean… anything” his nose bled, beads of sweat formed on the forehead.

“You’re damn wrong!” Kai yelled and placed his hands on both sides of that man’s head, the color of orange intensifying under his palms as he chanted some kind of a spell to make the other male suffer.

“Kai! No!” you broke free from Cora’s grip and ran to Kai, grabbing his wrists and crying as you begged him to stop. You really didn’t want to see Kai Parker as his old self - the careless, emotionless psychopath who did not feel any empathy for others. The one who could kill anyone and just laugh about it. The one who could spill another persons blood and absolutely thrive off of the sight of it on his own hands.

You yelled through tears again as no reaction from Kai was given.

“You’ll kill him! Kai!” you shook his wrists, “That’s not who you are!”

Right then and there, he snapped back and let that guy go, looking at you with entirely different eyes than they were mere seconds ago. They were glossy and his pupils were dilated, as if he did something so bad that his father was going to send him back to the prison world for an eternity.

“I-I’m sorry, I’m… so sorry” he said, taking a few steps back before he rushed outside. You ran back to Cora and grabbed her face.

“Listen, love, I need you to get out of here now. Call a taxi, go home, please”

“I am not leaving you!” she grabbed your wrists, squeezing them.

“Please, Cora, just go! I’ll deal with Kai, alright?”

She shook her head in disbelief and ripped her hands off of you.

“So you’re choosing that psychotic son of a bitch over me? Your closest and the only friend?! Fine. Go ahead. Go say thank you to a guy who killed most of this town just half a year ago”

“Cora-“ you tried to talk to her but she was gone before you could blink, making use of her vampire powers to disappear quickly. You wanted to catch up to her, but you knew it wouldn’t do any good.

You chose go to and compel the gross man who tried to get you all to himself. It is better if he doesn’t remember any of this or else, he will come back looking for Kai. And probably you too.

You ran out of the bar right after, searching for Kai, but had no luck because he is probably already back home now, which only leaves you with the option of getting back to your own. Only that you wanted to take a walk instead of getting dropped off by a taxi. Everything that happened was too much and fresh air was the only thing that could help you ease your mind.

You tried calling Cora multiple times, even left a voicemail, but she didn’t answer. You felt so bad for everything that happened tonight, it was just eating you up. You kept blaming yourself even though you knew none of this was caused by you. Still. It happened because of you. But what Kai did was unbelievable. It wasn’t anything you’d ever expect from him. He’s never spoken that much to you except for a small talk, nor did he know about your feelings for him. You both simply were just going to the same college. So why was he even protecting you? And how did he end up at the same bar you were at? All of this just seems very strange. Too many questions in the book.

As you were nearing your apartment, you took your keys and unlocked the door, closing and locking it behind you as you slowly shut your eyes and felt salty tears roll down your cheeks. Everything left you overwhelmed and you couldn’t help but let it out. It did hurt you that no one could see the good in him, no one understood what he went through, and no one was even willing to do so. It hurt you because if someone found out about how you feel towards him, they would turn against you too. You were lost. You were confused.

Why, Kai Parker, why?

____

A week has gone by and Cora hasn’t talked to you ever since that incident at the bar. None of your texts were answered, neither calls or voicemails. In fact, you haven’t talked to anyone you knew. It was only two people after all.

Cora must have told your mom about it all too. She didn’t speak to you either. You feared that you were not going to see them ever again.

Kai didn’t show up at classes too. It was so hard having nobody to talk to, and the only thing that occupied your mind was college. It was keeping you somewhat together. Or at least you tried to convince yourself that it was.

“Oh, look, it’s the Kai Parker girl” some girls whispered as you walked past them after class was done. It didn’t even seem like they cared about you being a vampire and having supernatural abilities like extremely good hearing. It got on your nerves really badly, but you decided to just ignore it. Not until you stepped out of the building and saw another group of students gossiping about something. Well. It’s just always going to be like that, isn’t it?

“I cannot believe that crazy dude literally stood up for her. Or he pretended to do so. Or… maybe he was just trying to show off with his little magical superpowers” one of them said, mocking Kai’s hand movements when he casts the spells.

“I bet he’s going to kill her real soon too. And she’s not even close to avoiding that cold blooded murderer. Maybe she would like to get killed by him after all” a guy said and the whole group laughed in sync.

That was the bottom line for you.

“Quit blabbering before I snap all of your necks off! You know nothing about me or Kai Parker. One more word and you’ll find yourselves trying to get wood splinters out of your asses” you said out of rage, the veins under your eyes popping up altogether with the eye whites turning red.

You quickly walked away and sat in your car, turning the engine on and speeding off home. The grip on the steering wheel was so strong that you could break it at any given moment. You’ve heard enough.

When you parked your car in the parking lot and got out of it, your eyes unexpectedly met with no one other’s than Kai’s. You thought your eyes were deceiving you, so you blinked a few times. But in fact, he actually was here.

“Kai?” you shut the door and he approached you with slow steps, hands in pockets and head hung low before he looked up when he stood right in front of you.

“Yes, it’s me. Don’t even ask why I came here. It just happened. And when I realised I’m standing in front of your home, I also realised I owe you an apology and an explanation”

You stood there, lips pressed together as you tried to process what was happening. You shook your head in order to not zone out.

“Just tell me. Everything”

“Listen, I know it’s strange, but… I’ve been having this weird feeling lately and I cannot seem to shake it off. Before you went to that bar… God, I’m so stupid… I actually had someone sit at the bar who followed you and found out about your whereabouts and told me everything. But don’t get me wrong, it’s not because I’m a stalker or a psychopath as they call me, well… Maybe I still a little bit am… It’s complicated. Um, it’s because I had a very bad dream about you and… In it, you died because I chose to drive past that same bar you were in that night. And when I woke up my head was ringing and I just had this feeling that something bad was going to happen”

You stood there not able to understand how he could do this. Have someone follow you? Someone to give him information where you’re going, and who you’re with? It just doesn’t seem right.

Looks like he still does have a sprinkle of a sociopath left somewhere in him.

“I’m sorry, Kai, but what?! What the hell were you thinking? You could have just simply warned me about your freaking crazy dream and told me to not go?! Or at least offer me company once you stepped inside Mystic Grills?”

“You would not have believed me!” he insisted.

“Okay, maybe I wouldn’t have but you could at least have tried! We go to the same college, it’s not like you’re a stranger to me. Look, people are gossiping about you and I a lot already and I was oh, so damn close to snapping their necks today! How am I supposed to put up with this shit, huh? My best friend AND my mother haven’t spoken to me all week! I’m all alone because of you!” your voice rang through the parking lot as you yelled in his face. Kai shook his head.

“No! It’s because they still believe I am the same old Kai Parker who kills without mercy, without empathy, with no emotions in me at all! That is not who I am. All those people… They have no idea how I feel. They don’t know. They don’t even care to think about the possibility of me being good. And I’m so sorry, I only did what I had to do just to keep you safe! God knows what could have happened to you!” Kai spoke and his voice began to break with the flood of emotions, but he swallowed thickly to regain himself, “Don’t you want everybody to try and trust me at least a tiny bit? Don’t you want your best friend and mother to speak differently of me? I can see that you trust me, ____, so why doubt me and switch lanes now after I saved you?”

Tears started to fall down your face as you listened to him, your heart tearing apart because of your feelings for him but also for what he has done. You just didn’t know what to say. A part of you wanted to just run inside your apartment and hide from him, but the other part of you kept telling you to stay and talk about this.

“Say something… Please” he whispered the last word. You closed your eyes for a second before they met his blue ones once again.

“Why did you protect me?”

He took your hands in his and held them tightly. You couldn’t lie to yourself in this moment, it somewhat felt so good, his hands were so soft, warm, and most importantly, you felt… safe.

“Probably because my human feelings are catching up to me really badly and I care about you. A lot”

You could feel your lip quivering in this moment, along with your own fast paced heartbeat that rang in your ears. Hell, you also could hear how Kai’s poor heart was banging, fighting to not jump out of his chest.

“Kai… But why do you care about me?”

He went silent for a moment, looking down and collecting himself before he spoke again. But this time, he spoke very quietly. Almost as if he was scared to say a word. Really scared.

“Because… I like you, ____”

The way your heart dropped in this moment was a feeling you’ve never felt before. It was so strong that it drowned out any other noises around you. You couldn’t hear anything anymore but your own heart that was thumping even harder and faster now. The way your legs went numb, the way heat flushed your entire face and the way your hands shook was nothing like you have ever experienced in your life. Did Kai Parker actually just confess to you?

Yes. Yes, he did.

“You… You like me?..”

He nodded and tilted his head slightly, his thumbs rubbing your hands soothingly.

“Kai… I like you too. But…”

His eyes lit up when you confessed. The sparkle he had in them reminded you of the galaxy that held millions of stars in it.

“But what, sweetheart?”

“If my mother finds out…”

He cleared his throat and sighed.

“I know. But listen… If we could work together, we could show everybody that I have changed. We could prove them wrong, make them believe that the Kai they knew is no longer a threat because he’s become good”

“I know, but, Kai… She’s my mom. She’s going to protest and give me one hell of a lecture if I tell her. And Cora, oh god, she’s my only friend… What if they turn on me? What if I lose them because I decided to choose to get close to you?”

“No. They won’t. Please, let me try. I’ll try my best, I’ll even make cupcakes for them!”

You licked your lips as you chuckled lightly at his food offer, and took a deep breath. You lightly grabbed Kai by the forearms and squeezed them.

“Fine. But if they leave me, I will never forgive you despite of how I feel about you. They’re the only family I’ve got left”

He nodded desperately.

“I will do everything to prove them wrong. I promise”

“I choose to believe you. Don’t mess up, Kai” you said and gave him a small smile as you let go of him and walked inside the apartment complex.

_____

Another week has passed, Kai started showing up at classes, your best friend has finally reached out and your mom finally called you to apologise. Surely, you still haven’t told them about your and Kai’s conversation from that evening in the parking lot. You’re still afraid of their reactions, but if you must, you’ll tell them. It cannot be hidden for much longer.

Everything seemed to be falling back into place, despite of all the stares people gave you and Kai, seeing how you two always talk and giggle during the breaks, go to eat lunch under the tree outside, share the same cup of coffee and give each other light smacks on the shoulders as one of you made jokes. But somehow, you didn’t care anymore. You knew that whatever the situation, they will do it regardless and try to ruin your life, but you aren’t the one to back down. You want to fight for Kai. You want to fight for the truth.

“I’m so glad the classes are over” you said with a sigh of relief, throwing your bag over the shoulder as Kai walked you out of the classroom.

“Do you want to grab a coffee or something to eat? Orrrr a drink?” he offered and you debated for a second whether to go or not, since you and Cora made plans to meet later.

“Oh. I’d really love to. But Cora is going to wait for me at the cafe, so I think we could do this in the evening? After me and her have a little girl talk. You know I cannot refuse to miss out on a drink with you on a Friday night”

Kai smiled at you, putting his hands inside the pockets of his dark grey jeans.

“Sure, sounds good to me. I hope you two have a wonderful time and I don’t become your main topic”

The smirk on his face and the eyebrow wiggle gave it away that he was teasing you, and there was nothing left to do but to push him and laugh about it.

“Oh, shut up”

“Text me when to get to your place” he said as he spread his arms and pulled you into a hug. You then both parted ways and you headed to the cafe to see your friend.

The moment you stepped inside the cafe, your eyes met Cora’s, a smile on her face that you missed so much over the time. She gave you a warm hug and told you that she already got you your coffee. She’s just the sweetest.

“You didn’t have to” you smiled as you sat down, placing your bag on the empty space next to you.

“Shh. I owe you” she smiled, “So, how’s college?”

“It’s okay, I do get tired and annoyed but I’m pushing through. Assignments have ‘ass’ in them for a reason after all”

Cora laughed at your little joke, but her smile quickly faded and she tilted her head in question.

“Hey, ____, you seem… A bit different”

You furrowed your eyebrows.

“Hm? What do you mean by different?”

“Happier? You’re just glowing”

You chuckled and tucked your hair behind the ear, taking a sip of the drink. You had to quickly come up with a fake explanation, as if Kai didn’t hug you earlier and it didn’t make you all giddy.

“Maybe because… You came back and mom did too. I was just afraid you both would leave me all alone and never come back. It was terrifying”

“Oh, no, no. I was just overreacting after that night. Was a bit buzzed too. It’s all fine now. So, did you manage to catch Kai and thank him?”

You nodded.

“Well… No. At least not on the same night. He actually showed up at my parking lot the other day and… We talked about it”

Cora shifted in her seat and placed her elbows on the table. You could tell from her face, she wasn’t too pleased with it.

“And what did he say?”

You huffed. Here it goes.

“He said that he’s been having some sort of nightmares that are almost like, I don’t know, warnings? And they’re about me. That’s why he was at that bar that night. I know, sounds unrealistic, crazy, problematic, stupid… You name it. I didn’t want to believe him at first either”

She frowned.

“Nightmares?” she laughed, “god, this man is so silly”

“Cora” you shot her a serious look.

“Sweetie, he was on the verge of killing that guy” she whispered.

“But he didn’t. When I stepped in, his face changed completely. I snapped him out of it”

“So, you actually think he’s changed? Or is changing?”

You nodded, looking out the window and remembering his little sweet confession to you.

“Yes”

“Are you like, in love or something? This whole different you is making me question everything. Did something happen between you two? Anything I don’t know of that could knock me off of this seat?”

You smiled, rubbing the edges of the cup with the pads of your fingers.

“No, nothing happened. We only spoke. He’s also returned to classes and he’s the only one who’s been keeping me company on breaks. I don’t have to feel unwanted there by everybody no more. He makes the day better”

She only raised her eyebrows and sipped the coffee, sitting in silence for a minute. Cora looked pretty much pissed.

“If it makes you happy” she said with no emotions in her voice.

“Cora, I-“

“I need to get home. I’m hungry. Plus, I have to walk my dogs”

“You could get something here”

“No, no, ____. Not the food-kind hungry” she whispered to you as she got up and grabbed the coffee cup on her way out.

Closing your eyes, you could tell how much Cora was against Kai. Even after you told her what happened. How can you make everyone believe in him? He has been trying to prove them wrong but people just seem to stick to their same old beliefs. It’s a tough cookie to crack, but you’re very sure that soon things will change. You just need a little bit more time. And you know that it’s not going to be easy, but you are more than ready to put up a fight.

_____

When Kai saw you come out of the apartment complex, he was left absolutely speechless. The black satin dress you wore made him feel a clutch in his stomach, a feeling that was new to him, something that made him wonder if this reaction is positive or negative. But when he realised he thought in his mind that you looked jaw dropping, Kai knew it was one hell of a positive emotion. The jewelry you wore brought your eyes out, and the way your hair was done reminded him of a goddess. And indeed, you were one.

“Wow” he whispered under his breath as you approached him. He didn’t look too bad himself : a white shirt combined with a black jacket, a pair of charcoal jeans with black boots was just enough to make your heart pound. If you think about it, he didn’t really wear anything too fancy, yet, it had such an effect on you. Plus, the silver rings on his fingers. Now that could make you trip and fall if you stared for too long.

“Hey” you smiled, biting your lip as you felt all shy because of how good Kai looked.

You both stood there in silence for a moment, Kai’s mouth open, but no words coming out yet.

You giggled.

“Hm, Kai?”

“Hey, you look… Insanely beautiful” he barely got these words out. Never has he ever seen a woman this pretty in a dress. Not that you’re not beautiful in your usual everyday clothes, but this dress just hugs your curves so well that it’s hard to believe you’re real.

“Thank you. You look super handsome. You should wear black jackets more often”

“Thank you. If I knew you’d be dressed this fancy I would’ve digged a tuxedo outta my closet”

The both of you exchanged laughter before silence stood between you both once again.

“Um…”

“Yeah, uh, let’s go to the Mystic Grill” Kai smiled awkwardly and digged his hands in his pockets. It’s actually adorable, at least in your opinion. Well, not like anyone else’s opinion matters at this point. He’s dressed up for you, no one else.

The walk to the Mystic Grill didn’t take too long, considering it’s only a few minutes away from you. As soon as you walked inside you both took a seat in front of the bar, ordering yourselves some drinks. The place was pretty crowded, some nice calm music was playing in the background, chatter between people mixed in with the melodies. You loved it here.

“Did I tell you that you look so damn handsome yet?” you smiled at Kai, placing your elbow on the hard wood and resting your jaw into your palm.

“Heck, you could tell me that as many times as you want” he chuckled and licked his lips.

The bartender came with the drinks and placed them in front of you.

“Here are your drinks. By the way, you, young lady, look gorgeous” and he also sent you a wink.

“Oh, thank you” you gave him a kind smile and took a sip of the cocktail.

“Looks like I’m gonna have to deal with that again” Kai said as he drank his shot in one go. You frowned and chuckled.

“Ah, come on. Relax. I’m here with you, not for anyone to flirt with me and snatch me away. And that was just a compliment, poeple do that when they see someone attractive. Out of kindness”

Kai shrugged his shoulders and sighed, ordering another shot of bourbon.

“Kai?”

“Mhm?” he responded, but with no eye contact this time.

“Look at me”

He turned his head at you.

“Yes?”

“If you think I’m going to let random guys flirt with me, you’re wrong. If I say thank you it doesn’t mean I’m flirting back. Chill”

“Okay, okay. Sorry, sweets” he smiled.

You smiled back and took another sip of your drink.

A few hours passed by and both of you were pretty tipsy, but not wasted, so you both decided to go outside to get some fresh air. You leaned against the cold wall and just stared at Kai without saying a single word. God, he looks so hot right now, you found it hard to believe this man was actually real. A little bit of facial hair made him look ever more manly and sexy, and the two buttons of his white shirt undone just took your mind elsewhere. The urge to kiss him was so bad that you could barely fight it back.

“What?” he smirked, cocking his head to the side.

“You know, I just cannot help but wonder if there’s another female thirsting over you right now”

“What do you mean?”

“I saw a couple of girls staring at you back there” you smiled, nodding your head at the bar.

“Oh, look who’s being an overthinker now”

“Just saying”

Kai then stepped closer to you, brushing a strand of hair out of your face and tucking it behind your ear. He kind of stumbles, but recovers fast, just laughing it off knowing it’s the alcohol to blame. Or maybe it’s you playing a part in this, too. He’s mesmerized by your beauty, he cannot help it but let his eyes wander down to your lips, then back to your eyes. Every single part of his body is fighting back the urge to do something ; he doesn’t know what that even is. He just wants to get closer and lay his lips on yours. And there goes the clutch in his stomach again, just like earlier when he first saw you in that dress.

“You look so pretty” he says quietly, but loud enough for you to hear.

“You look so handsome” you say back, placing your palms on his chest. His heart is beating so quickly, but so is yours. But somehow, you still cannot find the courage inside to lean in and kiss him.

“I think we need more drinks” you say and he nods, placing a hand around your waist as he walks you back inside the bar. The way his hand held you so firmly made you feel thousands of emotions at once, you felt so good, so alive, and so safe that you wished this feeling never ended. No one has ever made you feel this way. You did not want to lose Kai. At all.

After you both had more drinks, the bartender just kept on shooting glances at you, throwing a smile, a wink, and a compliment after a compliment. At this point, Kai was beginning to feel some kind of an emotion that he didn’t know what it was. He wanted to absolutely smack the heck out of that bartender but at the same time to hold back and simply show you’re his date non-verbally. And so he chose the latter.

His hand found its way on your thigh, rubbing it slightly. He watched as your eyes widened and your lips parted, wanting to say something, to comment on his move.

“Should I even ask why you’re doing this right now?”

“No” he shook his head, eyes like glass and cheeks with a slight tint of red, his lips forming into a small smile.

“Jealousy” you said, placing your hand atop of his that rested on your thigh.

Kai frowned.

“Is that what I’m feeling?”

“Yes, dork. You’re being jealous that he’s flirting with me. But don’t worry, as I told you already, I have zero interest in flirting back”

“Then the hundred’s on me?”

“Absolutely” you nodded and finished your drink. Kai gave you a slight smirk as his eyes found the floor. His head hung low, but the next song that came on made him look back up, straight into your eyes.

“Come dance with me” he said.

“Always a yes” you replied and let him grab your hand, leading you to the dancefloor that was built for the weekend at this bar.

At first, both of you hesitated to do anything, but eventually, Kai’s hands found their way around your waist. You rested your forearms around his neck, the skinship making you melt inside. Your faces were just inches away, and the temptation was growing within seconds. Your eyes were running back and forth between Kai’s eyes and lips, and so did his. His hands slowly rocked your hips to the rhythm now, unbeknownst to him it wasn’t your waist anymore. It just happened naturally, and you knew that this is the Kai Parker that people should know. Gentle, a little jealous, protective, funny, a little lost, but working his way through. Seeing him like this made you so happy. He was breaking out of his shell.

“Kai”

“Yes, baby?”

Baby. He just called you baby. You could not believe the word that just left his mouth.

“Baby…” you bit your lip, “can I just say that you are doing so well? You’re doing so much better everyday, you’ve shown me how great of a man you really are. I’m so, so, so proud of you, Malachai”

“That… name” he suddenly broke the eye contact, but his hands still remained where they were.

“Shit, I’m so sorry, I didn’t-“

“Shut up” he whispered and leaned in closer, kissing you gently but with so much passion that you couldn’t tell if all of this was real and wasn’t just some hungover dream. His grip on you tightened and your fingers found their way into the back of his hair, tugging on it slightly as your tongues danced together. The euphoria you felt in this moment is one to remember. His lips felt so soft, warm, and the taste of bourbon lingering on them only made you more dizzy, but in a good way.

“I love it” he murmurs as he pulls away, letting you know that you have the permission to say his full name without making him feel any negative emotions. You said it unconciously, it just slipped out. But now, knowing that Kai actually accepts it, your heart and soul are at peace.

“Say it again” he dared you.

“Malachai”

“Fuck” he hissed before his lips met yours again, this time the kiss becoming more aggressive and intense. You couldn’t help but get lost in the feeling, it felt like paradise. You swore you melted into the kiss and lost yourself in it for a moment. But only for a moment.

The bar was about to close.

“Hey, lovebirds, we’re about to close” the bartender announced, ripping you two apart.

“Oh, shit. We gotta go” you said, grabbing Kai’s hand and intertwining your fingers, leading him out as you said goodbye to the bartender.

“Did we just really spend the whole night here drinking?” Kai asked as you two walked down the street.

“Yes. Well, not just drinking”

“And dancing”

“And making out” you added in the end.

“That… Yeah” Kai smiled to himself, and looked down at your intertwined hands.

“How-“

“That’s what couples do. They hold hands like that, Kai” you smiled at him, swinging the locked pair of hands.

“Ah… Couples?”

You swallowed thickly.

“Yeah. Couples. People who are in relationships”

“Rela- No, forget it. I’ve consumed a bit too much of alcohol. Leave this explanation for another day”

You chuckled and wrapped your other hand around his bicep.

“Okay”

_____

You were paying a visit to your mom, helping her with painting the kitchen walls, since she’s decided to renew her house a little bit. She was cheerful, happy to see you back home where you grew up. You couldn’t hide the excitement either, the nostalgia washed over you the second you pulled up to the house. You spent twenty years here, so many memories left behind that you’ll cherish forever. Sure there were things that didn’t go well, she tried to protect you from getting turned, got hurt in the process and barely made it, but she lived. She knew how hard it would be for you to live as a vampire, she didn’t want it, neither for you, nor for herself. Yet, it happened. That one night she nearly lost her life, she watched her daughter get bit and killed, and it left her powerless and weak against none other than Kol Mikaelson. He was evil. You didn’t know exactly why he targeted your family, but he did what he wanted to do. Partly. Because someone came to rescue just on time to save your mom from getting bitten too.

Thankfully, when his brother Klaus found out about Kol’s dirty work, he kicked his ass real bad and you haven’t seen any of the originals return to town ever since. It’s even better if Kol’s no longer roaming this earth anymore, but you can’t really be sure about that.

You’ll never forget nor forget that night of horror. You’ll never forgive Kol.

But you’ll never know who saved your mother from death.

“Darling, you should rest for a little. Sit down, here’s some tea for you” your mom patted your shoulder, a white cup in her hand.

“Thank you” you smiled, taking a seat in the living room, sipping the tea she’s made.

“I heard from Cora you’ve been seeing someone” your mom gave you a look of curiosity.

Your eyes widened in fear. Did she tell your mom about Kai? Heck, hopefully she didn’t say it was him.

“Um, yeah, kind of”

“So who’s the lucky man?” she gave you a warm smile, sitting next you.

“Mom” you giggled, “we’re not that serious” you tried your best to talk about it, knowing what the outcome could be. Though you did want her to know and at least try to understand.

“Oh, come on, ____, spill the beans! I’m more than happy to hear about it all”

“Well… We go to the same college, and since no one else talks to me there, he’s the only one who does. My time there passes by with good emotions, because I know that on every break, he’ll find me and chat with me”

She pouted, grabbing your hand and rubbing it soothingly.

“I’m so glad to hear that, honey. Is he the same age as you?”

“It’s uh… We are a couple of years apart”

In this moment you prayed she didn’t catch on. That’s if she knows Kai’s age, because most people do.

“Not so much” she nodded, “Is he good to you?”

Your heart sank, and you looked at her with the happiest smile on your face.

“He’s very good to me”

“Is he also one of you?”

“No. Well, he’s also a part of the supernatural” now, you really knew that this could be an easy giveaway.

“Is he a werewolf?”

“He’s um” you bit your lip, “a witch” you quickly redeemed yourself in hopes of escaping the awkwardness. You knew Kai was a heretic, not just a simple witch.

“Oh wow, well, at least he’s not one of those people who hate the supernaturals. Imagine he was a human and found out and then ran away”

You giggled.

“I know. Would be a disaster”

“Describe him to me, I really want to know what your love interest looks like”

She just keeps asking more and more. This could end up so badly if she comes to the main point. But you felt ready, no matter how much it scared you. She’ll know sooner or later anyway, right?

“He’s tall, really handsome, like, super handsome,” you chuckled, cheeks turning red with blush, “he’s got dark brown hair, ocean blue eyes. And his smile, mom, it’s magical”

She giggled, squeezing your hand with excitement.

“He must be really good looking to have you talk like this. What’s his name?”

Oh no.

You hesitated for a second, but deep down you knew it’s now or never. You opened your mouth to speak, his name almost escaping your lips, but it didn’t. Your phone that was right in front of you both on the table, began ringing.

His name was on display. And your mom saw it. Her hand immediately left yours.

“Don’t tell me-“

“Mom, please”

“Why do you have Kai Parker’s number?”

You pressed your lips together and grabbed your phone to answer, dodging your mom’s question.

“Hey” you said.

“Hi, love”

“Speaker. Now” your mom mouthed to you, and you had no other choice but to listen. You put Kai on speaker, letting him know your mom is here right next to you.

“Hi, Ms. _____” he greeted.

“Kai Parker. Hello. What’s your business with my daughter?”

You shook your head in disbelief. This isn’t going well.

“She’s very lovely. And she’s helping me a lot, dare I say, she’s brought feelings out of me that I’ve never felt before. I need to say thank you for having such a wonderful daughter”

Your mom sighed.

“He’s going to hurt you, ____”

“No, mom. He won’t. How many times we’ve talked and went out, he hasn’t laid a single finger on me. He even protected me one night at the bar when some dude tried coming up on me”

She frowned. You couldn’t understand what she was thinking. Was she mad? Was she trying to understand?

“I actually did” Kai added.

“I still cannot trust you, Malachai”

Did she just?..

“Mom-“

“It’s okay, ____” he spoke from the other line.

“If you hurt her, I will make sure you return to the prison world, but this time, with no loopholes or chances to come back. Mark that in your book” your mom said and took your phone, pressing the red button to end the call.

You didn’t realise but you were crying. The salty tears ran down your cheeks and dripped down on your legs.

“Listen. He’s a sociopath. Do you really think I can trust him after all he’s done? He’s danger to you, dear”

You shook your head no.

“If you don’t trust him, then at least trust me! Trust in me that I’m changing him for good! I fell for him because deep down, I knew there’s good in him, mom. And it sucks so damn much that nobody understands me, it hurts me to the bone that I have to fight so hard to show everyone that Kai is worth a second chance!” you spoke through your tears, anger taking over you to the point the cup in your hands started to crack and eventually broke.

“For you, I’ll try. I’ll really try, honey. I just don’t want to see you hurt and in pain. But keep in your mind that one wrong step and I’ll make sure he’s not coming back”

“He’s staying” you said strictly, running off to your childhood bedroom. You cried hard into the pillow for what felt like an eternity. It was so hard to pull yourself together. You wanted nothing more than to have Kai in your arms right now, tell him how much you care and how much you’re willing to try to prove everybody that he’s not evil anymore. Because he isn’t.

You heard your room door creak as your mom came inside, your phone in her hand.

“Hey. Kai has called you ten times already. I think you should call back” she said calmly as she placed your phone on the nightstand. You didn’t answer, laying curled up in a ball, begging for her to leave your room in your head.

As soon as she did, you took your phone and called Kai back.

“Hey, is everything okay?” he asked as soon as he picked up.

“Hey. We argued… She still doesn’t trust you. But she said she’ll try for me”

“It’s alright. It’ll take time”

“I just wish she knew how happy you make me and how good you really are. It breaks my heart, Kai, I really don’t want you to go back to prison world”

He smiled, even though you couldn’t see it.

“I won’t. I promise you I’ll be here. I’m not going anywhere”

“Good. Because if you’re gone, I won’t be able to keep going”

“Shhh. I told you, I’m not leaving you. We’re both in this, okay? Together”

“Okay. Both you and me” you finally smiled.

“By the way, text me your mom’s adress”

“Hm? Why?”

He chuckles.

“Cupcakes, remember?”

“Oh!” you giggled, “Alright, will do”

_____

The other day, Kai made some cupcakes and delivered them at your mom’s doorstep. Though he himself decided to leave as soon as he put the box down on he mat. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to randomly show up unnanounced and alone. It’s better if he meets her with you by his side.

Your mom opened the door, but nobody was in sight, and as soon as she was about to close it, her eyes fell on the little box. She questioned it, but picked it up and brought it inside. Opening it, she found a little note along with cupcakes that looked super delicious. At first she thought it might have been you, or Cora, but once the note was flipped over to be read, the handwriting wasn’t anyone’s that she knows.

The note read :

Hi, Ms. _____. Consider this a little gift for you before I meet you eye to eye. I hope you like them. Kai Parker.

She furrowed her eyebrows, but they slowly went back to their usual position and her mouth curved into a small smile.

“Do you think she’s going to accept them?”

“I know she will. There’s a small hope I have that she’s going to start building trust for you”

Kai smiled as his hands rested on your hips while you sat on the kitchen counter.

You decided to invite him to your apartment for the night. Wanting to spend some time alone with him gave you the idea to do this. You wanted no interruptions, no people to give you stares, no one to bother your sweet time together.

“Hey, don’t you think it would be nice if we went to the town party?” Kai asked, his hand finding its way to cup your cheek.

“I thought you were the one who refused?”

He huffed.

“Well, I changed my mind. Take it as a challenge - anyone dares to threaten you, I won’t do anything stupid except shoot them a death stare and simply carry on to party with you”

“And you don’t mind my mom and best friend being there?”

He shook his head as he gently stroked your cheek.

“I think it’s the perfect opportunity to prove myself”

“Then I think we should definitely go” you leaned into his palm, wrapping your hand around his forearm, your thumb dancing back and forth on his skin.

“And the perfect opportunity for me to throw my black tuxedo on” he added, making you blush like crazy. You rolled your eyes.

“Don’t start. I might faint even at the thought of it”

“Can’t wait to catch you falling tomorrow, then” Kai leaned in and pressed his lips against yours in a slow but full of love kiss. Everytime he kissed you, you felt butterflies go nuts in your stomach, every part of your body felt electrified.

“Sweetheart, you’re shaking”

“Oh, don’t break a sweat. It’s the Kai Parker effect” you whispered the last sentence that left him laughing out loud.

“God, you drive me crazy” he snickered, pulling you into another sweet kiss.

As the kiss grew more and more intense, both of you soon found yourselves breathing heavily, gasping for air in between the kisses. You couldn’t help but feel an ache in between your legs, needing something to touch you down there. With each second passing by, the desire only became stronger. You moaned into the kiss, immediately making Kai pull away and look into your eyes.

“Is everything okay, baby?”

“Y-yes, you just feel so good” you spoke in between breaths, watching as his eyes filled with lust, his grip on your body becoming tighter.

He didn’t answer. You didn’t know what ran through his mind, you had no idea what he was going to do next. There was also fear that you might’ve crossed the line with telling him that. But in just a moment, his lips were back where they were before, but this time finding their way down to your exposed neck. It felt so amazing that you couldn’t keep it together and let out a whimper, your hands on his chest, nails digging into the fabric of his shirt.

“Do you want to keep going?” he asked, looking into your eyes with heavy lids. You nodded to confirm that you want to continue and Kai wasted no time to get back into it. But he was taking a little too long and you couldn’t wait any longer. Your hands tugged on the belt that he wore paired up with his jeans.

“Take it off” you begged.

“As you wish, baby” Kai gave you another wet kiss on your collarbone before he unbuckled the belt and pushed the jeans down to his thighs. Meanwhile you took your shirt off and tossed it to the ground, revealing your breasts that were hugged perfectly in the lace bra. Kai couldn’t hold back and started to kiss your hardened nipples through the fabric, biting them lightly to hear a moan fall from your lips.

It only drove him more crazy than he already was, and he couldn’t wait any longer, he did not want to waste another minute. You watched as Kai pulled away and his hands pushed your skirt up, cold breeze hitting your core as he ripped your panties off. You gasped as he did it, witnessing something completely unexpected from him.

“No worries, princess, it’s just a piece of fabric” he smirked as he undid your bra and threw it away. You thought it was a little unfair that you were only left in a skirt and Kai was still fully clothed.

“And this piece of fabric is blocking my view”

You ripped his shirt off and pulled him closer, kissing him as your hands started pulling down his boxers along with the jeans. Kai helped you out and kicked it off with his feet.

He stood before you, completely naked, out of breath and so turned on by you that it kind of hurt. It was impossible to resist him. His muscular arms made you curse under your nose, you could not get enough of the sight in front of you. Eventually, your eyes fell to his rock hard length that was leaking with precum, and you couldn’t wait to feel it inside of you.

Kai grabbed you by the waist and pulled you closer to the edge of the counter, his fingers snaking under the skirt as his thumb met your pulsating core.

“Fuck” you whimpered, pulling Kai in with your hands around his neck, your faces so close you felt each others hot breaths tickle the skin.

“I so love to hear those sounds you make, keep ‘em coming” he groaned, slowly plunging two fingers inside you, curling them up to hit your sweet spot. You could not hold it any longer.

“F-fuck, Malachai”

“My god. Say it again, please”

“Malachai” it came out as the hottest sound he’s ever heard before, he never knew his full name that he hated so much could make him feel this way one day. But here you were, calling it and making Kai fall in love with you even more.

His fingers left your core and he took his length in his hand, stroking it before his tip pushed against your folds.

“Please” you cried out.

Kai huffed and inserted himself in you slowly, stretching your walls that were pulsating with need. You threw your head back in pleasure, your nails now digging into his back. He hissed at the feeling but he loved it. He actually didn’t even mind if there were going to be marks left after tonight.

He started to pick up the pace, the skin slapping against one another filled the room and it echoed. You both were moaning from the pleasure, holding each other tightly as your bodies collided and started to coat with a layer of sweat. Kai’s hand found its way around your neck and you never thought he had that in him. But you loved it and it turned you on a lot. The way his fingers pressed the sides of your neck sent shivers down your spine, he was just perfect at doing that.

Soon enough Kai was at such fast pace that his rough thrusts made you lose yourself and you buried your face into his neck, biting the skin with your fangs that made him groan. But not in pain. It was pleasant.

“I’m going to cum, Malachai” you moaned into his ear, feeling your legs tremble and the knot in your stomach tightening with each thrust.

“Fuck, me too” Kai whined as he gripped your face, holding you so close as he became sloppy, leaning his forehead against yours as he kissed you.

Within seconds, the both of you came hard, your body was jolting and your back was arching, breasts brushing against his chest as Kai fucked you through your orgasm. He filled you up and stopped moving eventually, so now it was just you both catching your breaths.

“I fucking love you” he confessed.

“I fucking love you more,” you smiled, “but I’m afraid I might need your help to come down”

“I’ll carry you to the shower, baby. I got you” he pecked your lips, pulled out and picked you up bridal position as he brought you to the bathroom.

“Mind if I join?” he asked, standing with a smile across his face.

“Not at all”

_____

The town party took place in a big mansion, which was already very crowded when you arrived. Once you stepped in after the owner allowed you to, you looked around to see where champagne was being served. You found it on the table and poured yourself a glass, loving the taste of it.

“Hey!” Cora greeted you with open arms, a big smile on her face as she hugged you tight.

“Hi! You look insanely beautiful”

“Look who’s talking” she snickered, pouring herself a glass of champagne.

“Anyone to keep you company tonight?”

“Of course, he should be-“ you were ready to tell her who was going to join you, but your eyes met his from across the room. Your breath hitched at the sight - Kai in his black tuxedo. It was hard to keep shit together in this moment, you never thought anyone could look this good in a suit. And the first two buttons undone of the white shirt he wore? The absolute death wish.

“Scratch that. He's already here” you said, placing the glass down as you watched Kai approach you.

“Hi” he smirked, placing a kiss on your cheek, his hand on the small of your back. He then turned to Cora.

“Hello” she greeted him, trying her best to hold back any negative comments.

“Hey. You must be Cora?”

“Yeah”

“I’m Kai. Nice to meet you”

“Nice to meet you too” you could tell, she was for sure faking her smile. Come on, Cora, he’s not going to cause any problems.

“I think I should head upstairs, I heard there’s some good food there. If you’ll excuse me”

“Of course, I’ll find you later” you smiled at her, watching her walk away in such a hurry. Hopefully she’ll change her mind in the near time, it sucks having to see your best friend avoid your boyfriend at any given moment.

“So, where’s the part where you faint and I have to catch you?” Kai asked, grinning at you as he stood very close to you.

“You’re late on that. I already died a thousand times from the second you walked in” you batted your eyelashes at him, glancing at his lips for a moment.

“You really want me to lose control, don’t you?” Kai whispered in your ear. You cleared your throat as his low tone sent shivers down your body. That’s another thing that you were totally obsessed with - his voice. You could listen to him talk all day and night.

“I could ask you the same, James Bond”

He laughed, grabbing the glass from your hand and taking a sip. Your brows furrowed.

“Hey, that’s my gla-“

“What’s yours is mine” he teased, giving you the drink back.

“Quit with the teasing already. We just came here”

“Fine, fine. Do you want to go get some food?”

You nodded and grabbed his hand, walking to another room that had a table full of all kinds of food and snacks.

“Chocolate covered strawberries, classic” you gasped as you took one and had a bite. It was fresh and tasted amazing.

“Aaaand, no cupcakes” Kai complained but it only made you giggle at his silly comment.

“You sound like a little kid right now. Seriously, cupcakes at a party? Be more fancy than that”

Kai picked up some whipped cream off of the cake that was in the middle of the table. Your eyes widened.

“Malachai! You can’t do that!”

“Oooh, love hearing that name. Be careful with it though, darling” he smirked as he picked up a chocolate covered strawberry, eating it as he locked eyes with you.

“Oh, you’re here!” heads turned as your mom walked in the room. You did not expect her here at all.

“Mom?”

“Hi, sweetheart” she gave you a warm hug and then, Kai walked over to you, standing aside as he greeted your mom.

“You’re the one who sent me the cupcakes, right? I want to say thank you, Kai. It was such a sweet gesture from you. But you still have to work your way to my heart” she gave him a smile, cocking her head to the side as she raised her eyebrows.

“Was me. You’re more than welcome, Ms. _____. Well, that was one of the small good things I could do. Had to start off somewhere”

“I hope you continue to do so. You know our deal” she said as she nodded lightly at him.

“I promise, she’s safe with me” Kai reassured her, wrapping a hand around your waist as he looked at you.

About an hour passed and you wanted to get outside to have a walk in the fresh air. Kai agreed with you and you both escaped the crowded building.

“Your mom is so kind, I already like her a lot” Kai spoke first.

“If you already think she’s kind with the smallest interaction you had, just wait until you get to know her even better. She’s the kindest soul out there. I’m very happy to have such a good mother”

“And you look just like her”

You giggled.

“Thank you. I gotta thank her too for the good genes”

“I might as well”

“You know, I think we did the right thing coming here tonight. Look at you bonding with my mom. She seems to be more and more accepting, I’m really glad we got past the point of her saying no to us being together”

Kai’s eyes lit up, he felt so happy that there was finally some progress regarding gaining trust. It was all he’s wanted ever since he first laid eyes on you. He knew it was going to be a tough battle, but he chose to fight and leave the past behind. And it’s even easier with you by his side, because he knows that you’ll stand up for him no matter what the circumstances are. You are both warriors in this case.

Kai suddenly stopped walking and took your hands in his, looking deeply into your eyes as he stood like that for a little while until he finally spoke.

“You know, I’m so thankful. I have you and you literally changed me for the better. I never thought I could be like this. I never believed I could be changed. I might have done so many horrible things before, taken so many innocent lives, but it’s not me. It was the broken, lost and unwanted kid who only ever deserved to be loved and accepted. Nobody could give that to me because nobody liked me. Not even my own father. And if you told the old me that one day I’ll be in love, he would’ve only laughed and probably burned your house down later just for fun while eating pork rind. That’s just how I was. A total mess in the head who never cared about anyone but himself. But now, I care about you, about your mother, even about your best friend. About people. And I owe it all to you”

Tears welled up in your eyes as you heard him talk like this. Your heart was aching for him. It was hurting you knowing that this man right in front of you never had the love he deserved. In your eyes, he was the most imperfect-perfect person who made you feel alive.

“I am so sorry that you had to go through all that shit. But I promise you, I’m never going to leave you. I’ll be by your side at all times, Kai. I’ll give you all the love that you were supposed to receive throughout all the years. You’re never getting rid of me” you smiled through the tears, watching as his eyes turned red and got all watery. Kai couldn’t help but sniffle as he began to cry.

But unfortunately for you both, someone interrupted your special moment by appearing out of the blue.

“If he won’t, then I will”

Kol. Bloody. Mikaelson.

“Kol?! Why are you here?” you asked as you clung onto Kai, gritting your teeth at the enemy that stood tall not too far from you.

“Well, I figured why not ruin another beautiful night for you and take something from you? You see, all these years Klaus held me daggered in the coffin, but thanks to my mother, who’s unfortunately dead again, I’m baaaack!” he sang the last two words as he took a few steps forward - closer to you.

“You should have stayed in that damn coffin and rotted in it! You turned me into a vampire, almost killed my mother and yet, it’s still not enough for you? Get your shit together, Kol, you are not hurting anyone else that I care about” the anger inside of you made your blood boil, you could not believe that this was happening right now. There is no way in hell he’s laying a single finger on anybody.

“Oh, come on, I’ve missed you. Really needed to pay a visit and make this party even more fun” he laughed, raising his hands in the air.

“Did you not hear her? You are not hurting anybody!” Kai finally stepped in, his voice full of anger that had him clench his jaw as he stared coldly at Kol.

“Who are you again? Ma… Malachai Parker? Hmm. Cannot quite recognise you, seems you have flipped your personality upside down for this girl. Bonus points for the facial hair”

You snarled at him.

“Don’t ever call him that again”

Kol scratched the back of his head and shrugged.

“Nevermind that. I’m here to do some business, so, let’s not waste any more time and get to it, shall we?”

“Whatever the hell you’ve got on your to-do list, it’s not happening” Kai took a step closer to him, leaving you standing behind his back.

“Pfft,” Kol rolled his eyes, “the hell are you gonna do about it? Punch me? Veeery heroic”

You could hear how much Kai’s heart was pounding and how fast his blood was pumping through the veins. You were so freaking scared, you knew how strong Kol was, and the last thing you wanted was for something tragic to happen.

“I swear I will rip your empty heart out, pack it up nicely and send it to your family with the biggest ‘Congratulations! Your least favorite son is dead for good’ written on a big ass note”

Kol’s laughter rang outside once again. That was more than annoying.

“Awh, you can’t be any funnier than this! You should become a comedian. Oh, wait, don’t sweat it. You’ll be dead soon enough”

Kai’s eyes darkened, his irises growing bigger. His chest was rising up and down intensively.

“You are not killing him!” you shouted out loud, veins visible under your eyes.

“What’s going on here?!” heads were turned as you saw Cora and your mother coming in a hurry.

“Kol?!” your mother stopped in her tracks when she recognised the man. She grew furious at the sight of him. He’s supposed to be dead.

“Oh, hello there, mom. Surprised you are still alive”

“I’m more alive than you are” she snapped back.

“I see I got quite a few choices here, but who shall I play with?… Hm. I think I should use this opportunity to do what I couldn’t quite do before. Ms. ____, you’re up first”

“Not on my fucking watch” Kai hissed and punched Kol in the face, but Kol did not hesitate and fought him back. They kept on throwing punch after punch at each other, but neither seemed to hear you screaming and begging to stop. There was a lot of blood. Kai’s hands and his white shirt were covered in it.

“Look at you, little heretic, fighting me like a teenager” Kol groaned at him as he tried to grab Kai by the collar, but knowing his abilities, Kai chanted a spell that sent the other male flying to the nearest tree. And Kai wasn’t done just yet. He walked up to the bastard and chanted another spell that left Kol screaming in pain, grabbing onto the tree, the grass, and his clothes. The amount of power Kai had wasn’t anything close to what the original vampire expected before he came back.

“Who’s fighting like a teenager now, huh?” Kai spat at him as he intensified the spell and it made Kol’s skin burn as if a bucket of vervain got poured onto him.

“Kai, you’re going to kill him!” you yelled out, worried that things could go wrong. But he made you a promise, and it’s Kai, so you still had trust in him regardless of the hatred towards Kol.

“Don’t worry, I won’t. I’ll just make him suffer the way your mother did that night” Kai stated, lifting Kol up against the tree and dropping him on the ground, frying his skin and making his head ring.

“Wait! How does he know what happened to me?” your mom shot you a glance, not able to grasp on what Kai meant by that.

“Yeah, I haven’t told him about it…” you said, looking back and forth between Cora, your mom and Kai.

He then stopped using magic on Kol for a moment, turning around to face all three of you. Kai licked his lips and his eyes welled up with tears again.

“Because I was the one who saved her”

“Malachai…” your voice broke. It was hard to grasp the situation, but it all made sense. Kai returned to Mystic Falls as soon as he broke free from the prison world. It was a chaotic return for him, the whole merge with Luke changed some things. And it changed Kai, too. When he first saw you at the park, listening to music with your eyes closed, something sparked inside of him. He just couldn’t help but feel the need to get to know you. It was hard to understand why he felt like that, but it was just like a magnet. And then, Kol Mikaelson happened. Kai stepped in and saved your mom. And the reason why she didn’t see who saved her was because she was on the verge of passing out and dying, her vision was nowhere close to clear. It was blurry and dim. And once Kai healed her, he left. He then started going to college, he carefully observed you, secretly watched out for you and wanted to approach you. Yet he wasn’t able to get the courage until he began having those nightmares that eventually brought him to the bar that night. Even if he pulled a stupid move by having someone alert him about your whereabouts. It was all that he needed to finally do something more than just say hello before classes. It was all that he needed to begin this journey. A journey to the new Kai Parker. A boy, who after years of suffering finally found someone who’ll love him for an eternity.

“You… saved… me?” your mothers voice cracked as she bursted into tears, Cora following right after.

“Yes” Kai gave her a little smile, knowing that this is the moment that’ll change their view on him entirely. He doesn’t have to be scared or doubtful anymore. He could see it in their eyes - they trusted him now.

“Oh my god” you smiled through the tears, your heart fluttering as you finally found out the truth.

All of you got lost in the moment and forgot about Kol who was slowly getting back on his feet.

But, to your surprise, another familiar face made himself known as he broke the silence.

“I would like to apologise for my stupid brother’s behavior. He’s just as problematic as you know” it was Klaus. Hopefully this time he’ll get Kol and never ever let him come looking for you again.

You swallowed thickly.

“Please, just get him out of here. I want him nowhere near me or my family OR Kai for as long as we are alive”

Klaus quickly pulled a dagger out and drove it through Kol’s heart, his skin turning blue as he faded away. He picked him up and threw him over his shoulder, giving you a nod before leaving.

You smiled in victory, running to Kai and pulling him into the tightest hug ever. He kissed your lips and smiled back at you.

“I love you, Malachai”

“I love you too”

Cora and your mom exchanged looks before coming closer and giving Kai hugs. He didn’t expect this, but now that it happened he was sure that finally, they know you were right this whole time. He’s a good man. He’s worthy of love. He’s worthy of family.

“Sorry I doubted you” Cora said as she held your moms hand in hers.

“I am too” your mom added.

“It’s alright. All that matters to me now is that all of us are safe and alive. So, when’s the family dinner?”

Your mom chuckled at Kai’s sudden question.

“Come tomorrow at seven. I’ll gladly accept you to join us”

“And I’ll be very honored to be there”
