Two weeks until the wedding
"Elena, we're going to be late. Are you ready yet?" Kol shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm coming, I couldn't find my other shoe" she said as she walked down the stairs.
"I would have helped you look for it you know" he said with a smirk remembering the last time he started to help and he had turned and saw her bent over, which put his mind on something else entirely.
"Then we would have really been late, I remember the last time you helped" Elena said with knowing look and smile.
"True. Last time I helped myself to you" he said giving her his trademark Mikaelson smirk.
"Let's go" she said shaking her head as they went out the door.
"Sorry we're late, I couldn't find my other shoe" Elena said apologizing not noticing the smirk traded between the brothers.
"Men" Rebekah said rolling her eyes at Elijah and Nik.
"What did we do?" Nik asked innocently.
"I saw that smirk you two shared and what you were thinking" Rebekah said daring either of them to deny it.
Elena caught on and looked back and forth between her soon-to-be- brother-in-laws and shook her head leaving them standing there to follow Rebekah.
"Elena, it's so good to see you"Freya said giving her a hug as the brothers walked in.
"They were just trying to embarrass you love" Kol whispered in her ear before they sat down and she smiled at him.
After dinner they all sat around the dining room table talking about the upcoming wedding and making sure every detail was taken care of considering Kol was the first Mikaelson to get married. His sisters insisted on perfection, if perfection were truly possible. He had never seen anything go off without some sort of problem.
"Kol what do you think?" Nik asked waiting for an answer.
"About what?" he asked now that he was focused on the conversation at hand.
"Our sisters along with her friends plan on taking Elena out one last time, so we thought we would have bachelor party here for you" Nik said.
"As long as it's not the night before the wedding, never understand that" Kol said shaking his head.
"We already planned it for next weekend, same night as the girls are going out" he said looking at his younger brother.
"That works" Kol said a bit distracted.
"Everything alright Kol? You seem bothered by something" Elijah said with concern.
"I just want everything to be perfect for her" he said with a smile.
"It will be. We won't allow anything to go wrong. Trust us on that brother" Nik said glancing over at Elijah.
"So tell us, were you really late because you couldn't find your shoe?" Rebekah asked teasingly.
"This time it's true, last time I blame on Kol" Elena said.
"I swear that is all men think about. Sex" Rebekah said making Freya and Elena look at her with raised eyebrows.
"As long as it's mind blowing sex" Freya said making all three of them giggle.
"I've had some of that, then some that just weren't worth it" Rebekah said.
"True" Elena and Freya said laughing.
"I think that is my cue brothers to rescue my love before our sisters corrupt her completely before I marry her" Kol said patting his brothers on the backs.
Once they got home and she changed into her pajamas they cuddled on the couch to watch a movie. It was times like this Elena realized how much Kol had changed, but she also understood that dangerous, impulsive side was still there. She saw it when he had killed Tyler to protect her and the defeated look when he thought he had lost her because of it. He had changed her, just as she had changed him for the better and she couldn't imagine life without him.
