Practically bouncing with happiness, I ran through the Mikaelson home. The guy I've been flirting with at work finally got the courage to ask me out and to say I was excited would be an understatement. The reason I was at the Mikaelsons was so I could search for my best friend of many years, Kol. He was the one who helped me with my transition 76 years ago. Speaking of the devil, he must have heard me stomping through the house and sped to where I was. "Would you care to tell me why you're jumping through my home?" He grinned, standing in front of me. "I have a date!" I exclaimed, smiling from ear to ear. A look passed through his eyes but it quickly went away. "Great. With who?" He responded not nearly as excited as myself. "That guy at work I've been telling you about? Like yay tall, pretty blue eyes." I described moving my hand to show how tall he was. "Oh yeah. And?" "Well.... Seeing as you're my best friend and all... Could you help me get ready?" I asked, biting my lip. He sighed, looking as if he were thinking hard about something. Kols eyes then lit up and he smiled at me. "I would love too." "Really? I would ask Rebekah but she isn't answering her phone." I said, knowing that this is more of a girls job and didn't want to make him uncomfortable. "No, it's fine. I just need to run an errand. Meet you at your place?" Kol asked, grinning. "Yeah! At 6 okay?" He smiled and nodded his head, "I'll be there."
Hours past and it was already 8, all I had to do was slip on the dress that Kol helped me pick out. He was currently downstairs, probably raiding my alcohol cabinet. My hair was already curled, my eye shadow blended to perfection and the red gloss that sat on my lips shined. Slipping on the black dress, it fell just above my knees. It clung to my curves on the top half, lightly flowing at the bottom. Not bad, I thought to myself. Zach, my date, is supposed to pick me up at 8:30. I walked downstairs holding my heels in my hand. "Kol! Drum roll please!" I called out dramatically, hiding behind the wall so he couldn't see me. From his spot in the kitchen he began to drum his fingers against the counter top. I jumped out of the shadows and did a pose. The drumming stopped almost instantly. "Oh my god." "What?! Is there something on my face? Do I look fat? Is there lipstick on my teeth?! Answer me!" I began to panic, looking at my refection on the steel refrigerator. "No! No it's not that.. You just... You look stunning, Y/N.." I grinned and blushed, "Thank you Kol." I don't think I'll ever learn to stop blushing at the mindless compliments he throws my way. A long time ago I realized I was hopelessly in love with him, but years past and I came to terms that he's my best friend. You can never fall in love with your best friend, because if something happens they're not your best friend anymore. It's the painful truth. He smiled and quickly looked away. "If you want, you can stay here tonight. I'll need to tell you if the dates a bust or not." I lightly laughed, sitting on a stool at the counter. Kol leaned against it and nodded his head. "I was planning on staying here anyway." I let out a laugh and checked the time. 8:27.. Any minute now..
An hour past and still no sign of Zach.. Did he forget? Who am I kidding. He probably asked me out as a joke. I sighed and collapsed onto the couch next to Kol. "I don't think he's coming." I told him, trying to hide how hurt I really was. "Did you try texting him?" Kol asked with a small grin playing at his lips. "Yeah. I even called him, but nothing." I kept my answer short, examining Kols face. I narrowed my eyes at him, "what are you up to?" "What do you mean?" He asked, taking a sip of the scotch I had in my living room. "You know exactly what I mean. You've had this odd smile on your face the entire night like you're planning something.." Kol looked away, the smirk quickly dropping, "I think I might have made a mistake.. It just felt like the thing to do at the time but now I think she might hate me for it.." "What did you do?" I asked, concerned. "I may have compelled your date to stand you up." He spoke, narrowing his eyes at nothing. I let out a breath, "jesus. You scared me. I thought you did something horrible." I laughed, causing him to look over at me. "So you're not mad?" "Why would I be? I mean sure, it would've been nice to go out with a guy who's mildly good looking and kind.. And would've paid for everything." "Sorry about that." Kol mumbled. "It's all good, I suppose I can always compel someone to keep me company but I always thought I was better than that." I chuckled, grabbing the bottle of scotch off the table. "You'll always have me." He grinned. I rolled my eyes, taking a swig of the bitter liquid, "well I'm already dressed. Want to go dancing or something?" "Is Y/N L/N asking me out on a date?" Kol teased. "Lord no, but considering you ruined my night it's up to you to make it better." I laughed, "why did you do that anyway?" "Why did I compel your date?" "Yeah, I mean you've known how long I've been trying to get with him." "I thought it would be obvious. I compelled him because I care about you. And you can do so much better than him. He looked like he jumped right out of Magic Mike." "That's why I wanted him!" I responded, laughing. "If you want Magic Mike, go compel Channing Tatum." Kol spoke, downing the rest of his drink. I smirked and leaned my head on his shoulder, "I care about you too, Kol. More than I probably should. You're my best friend." I felt him sigh before my head fell as he quickly got up, "I don't want to be your friend Y/N! Why can't you see that?" I furrowed my eyebrows and waited for him to continue. "The real reason why I compelled your date to stand you up was because I'm in love with you. I always have been. And I didn't want to just stand by while you left to go on a date with Zac fucking Efron!" "What's wrong with Zac Efron? He's an amazing actor." I mumbled, too confused to respond with a normal answer. Kol let out a breathy laugh and ran his fingers through his hair, "wow. I'm just going to go.." I quickly got up and stood in front of him, "Kol, are you mental? I've loved you since the 40s! You've just been to stupid to realize." He stood there for a moment before pulling me towards him, placing a soft kiss on my lips. "You don't waste time." I whispered once we pulled away. "I've wasted 76 years." I grinned, "Touche."
