Kol Mikaelson- Birthday girl

//Kol kisses you for the first time on your birthday//

Music boomed through the walls of the Lockwood mansion as- probably hundreds, of alcohol consuming teens jumped up and down to the beat. You looked over from the doorway you were leaning on, to see your sister, Caroline, dancing with a bunch of- who you were assuming were her estranged friends.

>>

You never asked, nor really wanted this much attention, but Caroline insisted that a party was in favour for your birthday- despite you assuring her that it was okay.

You were a little worried at first, but as the party started, you soon realized that those who made an appearance did so for the sake of the party, not entirely for you. Which sounded sad, but brought you a sense of comfort and lifted a weight off your shoulders- not completely being the centre of attention.

You laughed at Care's dance moves and overly flirtatious behaviour before lifting your drink to your lips.

"Good evening." A masculine voice spoke. You turned quickly, realizing that the voice belonged to none other than Kol Mikaelson.

"Hey, Kol." You smiled.

"Not really in the party mood I gather." He observed, a flirtatious smirk playing on his lips.

"No, not really." You giggled. "I can't speak for my sister though." you added, pointing her out as he let out a short laugh at her dancing.

"If I didn't know any better, I would never guess any relation between you both." He smiled, his gaze meeting yours. "I believe it's a certain someones birthday today." He spoke playfully.

"Ah, that would be correct." You grinned.

"Well the happiest of birthdays to you, y/n." He smiled warmly, bringing your hand up to his lips before placing a kiss atop of it. You had known Kol for what seemed like years, but was merely a few months.

Meeting the Mikaelson family once Caroline had both introduced you to the world of the supernatural, and told you of her vampirism, you quickly realized something very different from Kol from the rest of his siblings. Maybe it was his relaxed, playful demeanor, or his wit and sarcasm, or maybe it was just the way he looked at you that made him stand out from the crowd. Regardless of what it was, you saw something special in Kol, and soon became close with the rebellious original vampire

Your cheeks were still flushed from the sweet gesture that sent your heart rate skyrocketing- and you for sure knew that he could hear it beating rapidly as he hid a smug smile beneath his lips.

The music changed to something much slower and everyone stopped their jumping and instinctively partnered up as they began swaying to the music. You looked around at everyone, your eyes landing on Caroline as she swayed along to the music with Niklaus' arms wrapped lovingly around her. Smiling at the sight, you were quickly pulled out of your little trance by a soft tap on your shoulder.

"y/n," Kol began, "might I be so bold as to ask the birthday girl to dance with me?" He asked cheekily.

"You most certainly may." You smiled as he gently took your hand and you put your drink down, moving from the doorway as he lead you out into the crowd carefully. He wrapped his arms around your waist and yours rested around the back of his neck as you began to sway along with the soft music.

You looked up, eyes locking with his as the moment suddenly turned into that of a cheesy movie scene; the pair of you dancing lovingly in the centre of a room full of other party-goers, looking at one another as if nobody else was there. You tore your stare away, giggling to yourself at how cliche the moment was before stifling your laughter into the crook of his neck as he chuckled along with you, desperately trying not to laugh too loud and draw attention.

"C'mon." He grinned, pulling the two of you out of the crowd and out into the garden that sat empty amongst the hundreds of party-goers before settling yourselves down on a park bench, but your giggling still hadn't ceased as you leaned into his side for support.

Kol looked at you, a smile of his own on his lips as he watched you laugh. To him, there was nothing more beautiful than your smile- the sound of your laughter being like music to his ears.

Your giggle had finally subsided, and you looked up to meet Kol's gaze as your final few laughter-fueled breaths made their way passed your lips. Realizing he had already been looking at you made your heart swell, and when he took your hand- you just about fainted.

"Have you had a good birthday, dear?" He asked.

"One of the best." You answered, eyes still meeting his gaze. The way he looked at you alone gave you butterflies. It was like every ounce of admiration and caring were housed in those gorgeous brown eyes of his- and they were on you.

With all but a quick smirk, he leaned down, cupping your cheeks with his hands as his lips met yours in a sudden, loving kiss. You moved in synchronization before you actually registered what was happening, and pulled your hands behind his neck.

Pulling away to catch your breath, you rested your forehead against his. A smile finding his lips through the heavy breathing as you did the same.

"Okay," You breathed out, "The best birthday ever."
