The Originals Imagines

Shocking- Kol Mikaelson

 "So Y/N," Caroline leans over to me a sneaky smirk on her face, "has there been anyone who's caught your eye since you've arrived in town?" I can feel the warmth of a blush start to make its way onto my face. Elena and Bonnie stop their talking next to us and give me a questioning look.

"Ya Y/N, has there been anyone?" Bonnie asks with an encouraging smile on her face. I stare at all three of them and from their giggling I can tell the blush has turned my face beet red.

"You can tell us Y/N if you want, if not don't worry about it." Elena tells me, placing her hand on top of mine in a comforting way.

"Don't judge me ok?" I ask them, which gets me multiple nods of heads and "Of course nots."

I take a deep breath and close my eyes, "Kol Mikaelson."

After a long moment of silence I open my eyes and see all three of them with a mix of confusion and fear etched into their faces. Embarrassment starts to flood my entire body as I watch them try to process what I'd said.

"Ok I know I'm not the ideal dream girl or anything and I know he is totally out of my league but-" I start to ramble but Bonnie interrupts me.

"No Y/N! It's not that! You're perfect, it's just..." Bonnie looks over at Elena and Caroline who look like they're trying to find their own words, "It's Kol, he's just so intense you know. You're so sweet and kind and he's so... not." Bonnie says with an unnerved look.

"I know he can be a bit crude sometimes but he's nice to me." I say trying to defend the man I'd come to grow fond of in my short time of knowing him.

"Really?!" They all ask surprisingly.

"Ya I guess. I mean whenever we see each other he always goes out of his way to talk to me even though I can't start a conversation for my life. And when I told him that people have told me that I come off as a freak because of how quiet I am, he told me that some people are too idiotic to see that the quietest people are always the ones with the most to say." It was the first time in a long time that it felt as if someone had truly seen me and heard me.

Bonnie, Caroline, and Elena just stare at me for a moment before Caroline cracks a big smile and starts talking about how cute that is and how she's so happy for me. When she's done Bonnie gives me a comforting smile.

"I'm happy that someone makes you feel that way Y/N, I just want you to be careful and safe ok? Kol and his family can be unpredictable and we wouldn't want you to get hurt."

"I know, and it's just a little crush anyways, there's no way Kol would really give me the time and day." I give her a shrug of my shoulders.

"Kol Mikaelson would be lucky if you gave him the time of day Y/N." Elena tells me.

"Thank you guys."

"Hello Quiet One." I turn in my seat to see Damon Salvatore smirking at me. I just rolled my eyes and went back to watching Jeremy clean the bar after he asked to keep him company at The Grill. I can feel Damon move out the barstool next to me.

"So I heard from a Little Birdy that someone has a crush on the wild Mikaelson?" When he says this I whip my head to look at him and am faced with the vampire smirking at him.

"Who the hell told you that? I whisper-yell at him. Damon just stares at me for a moment before reaching over the bar and pouring himself a bourbon.

"Just a little birdy." I let out a sigh and fought the urge to strangle him.

"I'm honestly hurt that I wasn't the first to be told, My Little Quiet One. I thought we were besties." Damon throws a hand over his heart in a mocking way.

"We're not besties." I try to tell him which makes him shake his head.

"Yep, we are. You're the only one I know that will keep my deep dark secrets and won't try to see the wrong in my ways."

"It's not my job to make you be a better person Damon."

"Exactly! Try telling Elena that, or Stefan, or Ric. You and I work well together." He pats me on my shoulder, I go to shrug his hand off when it's ripped off by someone behind us.

"It doesn't really look like she wants you touching her, mate. So keep your hands off." I freeze as I recognize the British accent and who it belongs to.

Damon turns in his stool, "Agh, Kol. My least favorite Original. Y/N and I are the bestest of friends so you can back off." He glares at him, which earns an even nastier glare from Kol. I stare at them for a moment before standing up, which gains Kol's attention.

"I need some fresh air." I say as I try to get away from Kol as quickly as possible.

I'm able to get one breath of fresh air before I hear the door next to me open and Kol walks out. He catches my eye and makes his way over to me, which makes me start walking in the opposite direction, until I feel a hand grab my upper arm.

"Where are you off to, Darling?" Kol's voice comes from behind me. I try to take a deep breath and focus on my breathing so my heart rate isn't as intense as it currently is.

"For a walk." I turn to look at him to find him already staring down at me with a ghost of a smirk on his face. A face which happens to be a breath away from my own.

"Fantastic, then I walk with you." I just freeze and look at him, I start to shake my head at him.

"Why would you want to do that?" I ask him. Kol stares at me for a moment with a confused look.

"Because I fancy you, Darling." I feel my brain shut down as I just stare at Kol, he must find the look on my face entertaining because he lets out a huff of a laugh.

"Cat got your tongue, Darling?"

"Why?" I shake my head at him in confusion and denial.

"Why wouldn't I? You surprised me." His answer to my question only makes me more confused.

"How could I possibly surprise you?" Kol stares down at me and the smirk on his face slowly morphs into something softer as he looks at me.

"I'll tell you over dinner tonight." He says as he takes my hand and kisses it. He gives me one final look and starts to walk off, leaving me in shock.

"Wait, tonight!" I try to yell after him. He turns around and smiles at me.

"I'll pick you up at 8, Darling."
