The Little Witch's Imagines

Kol: Walk with me

Imagine: the reader is a really closed off and anxious person and they make it hard for Kol to get close.

You didn't make it easy for just anyone to find out what was going on in your life; you were excellent at keeping secrets and you kept any bit of emotion you had barricaded from showing. You were good at putting on a friendly front and taking care of yourself, but everyone knew you weren't telling the truth most of the time—especially Kol.

You didn't remind him of the women who kept him company in the past because you were so much more docile and closed off to negativity and greed. It made him curious to think you never talked about yourself or retained any calm whatsoever, always ready to defend yourself from cruel intentions. "I don't know. That's how I've always been," you told him one day when he made his curiosity known. "I don't think anyone starts out that way, love," he chuckled. You sat next to him on your porch, handing him a beer. "I know you didn't," you laughed at him. "What I'm asking is what's your excuse for the last few days? You haven't said a word," he spoke. "...College mostly. Graduating is...more stressful work than I thought," you covered. Your phone rang and you picked it up cautiously. It was a blocked caller. You were afraid to answer, looking between Kol and the phone, but placing it in your back pocket.

You stood, trying to seem casual. "Walk with me to the Quarter. I've been sitting all day," you swallowed. "Y/N-" "Come on, let's go," you said, pulling his hand gently. He grabbed your arms out on the sidewalk. "Y/N what's happening? Tell me," he growled. You shook your head, trying to find the words. "I can't," you muttered. You worried him enough to have him drag you to the Compound where he demanded you wait out whatever you were afraid of, and tell him what you said you couldn't. He wasn't surprised by your answer because the enemy you spoke of was always looking to somehow ruin the good things in Kol's life. "I got a warning a couple weeks ago. I ignored the others because I thought I could book something for my dad and I outside of town but...they were watching us so I decided to act normal and stay out of sight," you swallowed, "...What do they want with me?"

Kol sat on the armchair in his room as he held back on his reply. You could tell by the look in his eyes he was the one holding back now. "Did you do something?" you frowned. "...They know how I feel about you," he responded. Your face softened, kneeling in front of him in his chair. "How do you feel about me?" you asked. You were slightly shocked at his sudden kiss, but not entirely. You held back on doing the same for too long.
