The insatiable hunger for blood awakes you from your midday nap, finding yourself in Klaus's kitchen, drinking out of a blood bag found in his refrigerator. The nap you just had was definitely necessary to prepare yourself some rest for tonight's shenanigans. Caroline's birthday party. Since she is your best friend, and also the one who turned you, there was no doubt you'll need the energy to light up the night.

And it's a good thing that Klaus Mikaelson adores her because he's given her permission to use his mansion for the night that will be filled with drunk people.

Kol Mikaelson, another good friend of yours, was more than happy to allow you access to his bedroom to nap and get dolled up.

As you're doing the last minute touches to your makeup, dance music was on full volume in Kol's bedroom to assist in hyping you up for the party downstairs. It was so loud that you didn't even hear his footsteps approach his bedroom to lower the music.

"Well aren't you a sight?" Kol grins, his arms folded in front of his chest.

You brushed off his so-called comment, his naturally witty personality is to blame. "Have any guests arrived yet?" Glancing at the clock above you, it is a quarter to 9.

"A handful perhaps."

"Is Matt here?" You ask.

"Matt? The lad's hand I broke not long ago." Kol chuckles at the memory and you scoff in annoyance.

"Yes, that Matt." Taking one last look in the mirror before making your way downstairs, you roll your eyes as you're reminded of what Kol did to Matt at the Mikaelson Ball. "My date's carpooling with him."

Kol's mouth forms a line, his expression hardens at the thought of you inviting a date under his roof. You were too oblivious shifting to the bedroom door that you didn't notice. He huffs as he follows behind you.

Caroline's blonde hair and bright blue eyes paired with a red cup in her hand catches your attention first. You find her smiling bright while she's chit chatting with Matt and your date, Ethan.

Ethan's eye grow wide at the sight of you, walking over to you to greet you with a hug. "Hi Y/N." He holds you at arms length to quickly examine you. "You look very pretty tonight." Your date commented and you mouthed a thank you with a warm smile.

"Kol Mikaelson." Kol, with narrowing eyes, volunteered a firm handshake to Ethan. "I live here." He spat, now leaving elsewhere in the mansion. Your date shot a questioning look at the original, then immediately shook it off. It wasn't worth dwelling on in his mind.

"Ew what's his problem?" Caroline glances at his back in disgust.

"Don't know." You brushed him off a second time. "Let's go take a birthday shot!"

More and more guests started arriving and after the gift of liquid courage made its way into your system, it was time you decided to tug at your date's hand to dance together in the crowd of people. Thankfully, he was too much of a gentleman to take advantage like most guys would and place his hands where it doesn't belong. Instead, he stood at a fair distance as he jumped up and down with you to the dance music.

Little did you know that Kol was scowling at the two of you from afar. "Why the long face, brother?" Klaus asks, not in concern, but with a trace of humor.

"Bugger off, Nik." Kol snarled, with the need to get away from his brother, he migrated elsewhere.

Suddenly, the song switches to a different genre not meant to jump up and down to, but at a pace where you can still sway your hips. "So Y/N, I was thinking." Ethan says, your swaying of hips slowly stops, giving him your attention.

"Yeah thinking what?" You ask, giving a half smile.

"Uh..." Ethan scratches the back of his head out of nervousness, his other hand holding a red cup. "How about you let me take you on a real date?"

"A real date?" Your lashes fluttered. You caught onto his nervousness, thinking to yourself how adorable it is.

"I mean yeah. Like you know, dinner? A movie?"

Before words could escape your mouth to answer your date's question, Kol appears beside you, eyeing Ethan to compel him. "Take your dinner and movie somewhere else, mate." He said through clenched teeth. Ethan did what was asked of Kol and left the mansion.

Your eyes burned with frustration and your mind filled with confusion at Kol. Why is he being so cold towards Ethan? This is the first time he's ever met him. "What is wrong with you?" You shifted so that you were face to face

"The bloke's intentions are far from good. I did you a favor, darling." Kol shot a false smile, then decided to walk off and leave you hanging.

"And how would you know that? Huh?" You didn't have the patience for his nonsense so you grasped Kol's wrist, but he quickly shook your grip and stormed off. And of course, you had the need to follow him for some answers.

After repeatedly calling out his name while following him and him not answering to you, you had to fight the urge to vampire speed to him because there are a ton of humans around. Humans that do not know about the supernatural in Mystic Falls.

Finally, you two ended up in a vacant hallway, which is now the perfect time to use your vampire speed. "Goddammit Kol." You said through clenched teeth, being face to face with him again. "What is up with you today?"

Kol sighed. His right foot took one step to the right, but your quick instincts caught up, your left foot took a step to the left. He rolled his eyes, placing his arms folded in front of his chest. "Why does it concern you so much? Shouldn't you be off joining the party?"

"Why shouldn't I be concerned? You're my friend, I'm your friend. Friends don't go on and ruin their friends dates."

"Ha." Kol let out a fake laugh. "Friends. That's all I am to you." He shook his head in disagreement, his eyes away from you, arms relaxing to his sides.

Your brows knitted together, giving a questioning look. "What are you talking about? What are you trying to say?"

Kol's tongue strides over his upper lip, tempted to shake his head again in frustration with you. "You're bloody oblivious, aren't you?"

"I guess I am." You shrugged.

The youngest original brother takes a deep breath with his eyes shut, then opens them again before speaking. "I'm in love with you, Y/N."

"You're in love with me? What?" Your face went blank and all of a sudden, you couldn't produce any more words.

Kol reacted immediately at your response, assuming you were going to shut him down, he places his hands on both your shoulders, compelling you. "Forget everything I said and go back to the party."

You patted his upper arm. "I'm wearing vervain." His eyes grow wide in shock, embarrassed, not peeping a word as his hands are still glued to your shoulders, his entire body tenses up. You found his embarrassment amusing and stifled a laugh, then your voice softens and your heart is now doing back flips. "I'm in love with you too. Always have been." You confessed. It's true, you've always had feelings for Kol but your pride being too important with the fear of rejection, your plan was to keep it to yourself for eternity, up til now.

Kol exhales from relief, relaxing his arms off your shoulders, placing his hands to your cheeks, his eyes scanning yours left and right. "Where have you been all my life?"

"Here. Always." You whispered. Kol's eyes gleamed at the miracle of your feelings matching his and his mouth curved into a smile before smashing his lips onto yours with a kiss.
