birthday girl || pt.1

…

You smoothed out the dress, as the door opened, all of your friends waiting outside the door for the two of you. Your eyeliner was a bit smudged but you cleaned it up the best you could. You came out looking a little ashamed of what had happened, and also came out with the biggest idiotic smile on his face.

Bonnie sort of glaring at the two of you, but she couldn’t say she was surprised. Damon was in the same boat of Bonnie, he was more angry at the fact that you fucked on his bed than you being with a serial killer. Elena didn’t really care that much, it was just funny seeing Damon so angry, and Caroline was still in much distress. Stefan and Enzo hadn’t witnessed the horrors everyone else went through but they heard Caroline’s insane mumbling and figured something was going on. After being filled in, neither one of them were too surprised. Enzo was just shocked that you had gotten caught. And Stefan was surprised that Kai could pull someone like you…

“…so… you said there was cake?” Kai smile, Damon glaring at him, trying his best not to strangle the heretic in front of the entire party.

“Kai.” You groaned, feeling the awkward tension in the air. “Look, I know what your thinking… and I can’t say you didn’t see what you saw… because you definitely saw something…”

“Heard it too.” Elena giggled, making Enzo snort. Both of them getting shot looks from they’re significant others that made them shut up immediately.

“Honestly… I’m not all that surprised. Everyone knows Kai has a crush on you.” Kai furrowed his eyebrows at the directions this conversation was going. “Your pretty, smart, innocent, perfect prey.” Damon hummed as if he was about to do you a favor. “So just say the words… and I’ll kill him.” He smiled innocently.

“Damon, no!” Your eyes went wide.

“If anything, she came on to me!” He defended himself. “A few times actually…” he added under his breath, which caught the attention of… everyone.

“I’m going to throw up.” Bonnie gagged, Caroline covering her ‘innocent’ ears, and Elena’s eyes going wide.

“Malachi!” You scolded quickly.

“I’m going to kill him.” Damon cracked his knuckles.

“Damon!” You quickly stepped in front of your boyfriend.

“Why him? Why did it have to be him? Why not someone slightly less… psychotic?”

“Actually it’s-”

“Shhh.” You put a hand over Kai’s face. He was tempted to remove it, but knew better than to get you more worked up than you already were. “Okay,” you turned back to the dark haired vampire. “Truth is… Kai and I have been dating for the past 4 months.”

“WHAT?!” Caroline gasped, nearly having a heart attack. “Four months?! Y/N! You didn’t even tell me!”

“We didn’t tell anyone, Caroline.” You sighed, removing your hand from Kai’s face. “I knew how you guys would react, and I didn’t want to freak you out-”

“So you decided to traumatize us by seeing that instead.” Damon scoffed.

“You could’ve knocked…” kai spoke.

“It’s my House!”

“Wait wait wait,” Stefan spoke up, beer bottle in his hand, and his eyelids halfway closed. He was wasted, but somehow still present enough to understand what was going on. “So how did you manage to have a relationship behind our backs?”

“You guys are actually pretty dense, so it was fairly easy.” You elbowed your boyfriend in the stomach, wishing you would’ve locked him in the room and faced this confrontation all by yourself.

“I snuck out… like every night… we would text… he would sneak over sometimes… whenever I ran errands throughout the day I was mostly going to see kai…” Damon put his hand on his head as he processed everything.

“That’s so sweet.” Elena put her hand over her heart. “This is like one of those movies where he’s the bad guy, and she’s the innocent hero who changed him for the better and the fall in love and-”

“He is the bad guy, and she is innocent, but instead of her changing him, he sacrifices her in some demonic ritual to become powerful.” Bonnie grumbled.

“Fair.” Kai shrugged. “But I won’t. Contrary to popular belief… I actually love my girlfriend, and I have no intentions of harming her whatsoever. In fact, I would do anything to protect her and keep her happy. Which is exactly why I haven’t be shoving my happiness in all of your sad miserable faces.” Kai smiled innocently.

“LOVE?!” Caroline gasped. Her hands going over her mouth as she processed what he said. “Omg… I can’t- That’s so…”

“Revolting” Damon cringed.

“Cute.” Her eyes began to tear up. Damon sending her a confused glare as she fanned her eyes, careful not to mess up any of her makeup.

“I know you guys are worried about me, and my safety, and you simply just don’t like him… but I promise I’m okay. I’m more than okay, I’m fucking great. All I ask is that you at least try to understand that I’m actually happy. I’m not in any actual danger being with him.” Kai smiled fondly, placed his hands on his hips as you spoke about how amazing you felt with him. Their was a significant boost in ego that followed along with your words.

“… can’t you be happy with someone else?” Bonnie groaned. “Like Matt! Matt is a nice guy!” She offered and both you and kai scoffed with a quick ‘no’.

“If she ever left me… for someone like Matt… I would burn this entire town to the fucking ground.” He spoke honestly, and you couldn’t help but smile at the threat.

“That’s- fair.” Damon nodded.

“Oh come on, stop torturing these two love birds.” Enzo groaned, done with bickering. “It doesn’t matter anyways, if he even hurts a hair on her head, he’ll have his heart tore out and shoved so fair down his throat he’ll be shitting blood until he reaches the pearly burnt gates of hell.” Enzo threatened, and even Damon seemed disgusted at the thought of that.

“Enzo’s right! And honestly… I think you guys are cute together… you balance each other out really well.” Elena spoke sincerely. “And besides, they’ve been fine this far… why fix what’s not broken?” She asked, looking to the only two opposed to the couple at this point.

“…a week.” Bonnie spoke up. “A week with no threats, or drama, out of you… and I’ll leave it alone.” She points to kai. “I just want my friend safe, and if you hurt her-”

“I wouldn’t even dream of it, BonBon.” He spoke honestly, arm wrapping around your waist, pulling you into him.

“No!” Damon growled, Elena leaning up into his ear whispering something that caused to him to roll his eyes. “But I- that’s not fair you can’t- fine.” He grumbled, his girl pulling away from him with a proud smile on her face. “I’m… okay with it…. For now…” he narrowed his eyes at both of you. You smiled, with a nodded, just happy that everyone was now at least somewhat okay with your relationship.

“Hey Birthday girl!!!” Jeremy called from down the stairs as everyone started to cheer and the lights turned off. Everyone looked up at the lot of you gathered up the stairs, as they slowly become to sing the happy birthday song.

“Right, enough of all this! It’s a birthday party! Let’s the birthday girl be!” Enzo cheered, making you giggle a bit as you boyfriend released you from his grip as you made you way towards the steps.

Damon watching in disapproval but still not saying a word like he promised.

I always found the “Kai is the most evil guy with zero redeeming qualities” excuse funny because when you look at which villain did the most harm to the core group, Kai actually did the least.

Lol The worse thing Kai ever did was kill his siblings. The things he did to Bonnie was fucked up too, but they were all retaliations to violence she initiated first. But compare that to Damon who did more harm to Elena Bonnie and Caroline’s life. And to Stefan by killing his friend Lexi. Damon who harmed Jeremy by killing Vicky, then killing Jeremy. Damon who sexually abused Caroline. Klaus who ruined Tyler and Stefan’s life by taking away their free will and making them hybrid slaves and a ripper. Klaus who killed aunt Jenna. Klaus who actually killed Elena. Damon who kidnapped Bonnie’s boyfriend in season 5 and turned Abby into a vampire. Damon who’s indirectly responsible for gram’s death. Like Damon and Klaus are the cause for pretty much all the pain and loss the main characters endured. Yet Kai is made out to be the most evil thing when he barely did anything to any of the main characters. In Plec’s eyes him being a Bonnie centric character was his biggest crime. If we’re being honest that’s what made Kai irredeemable. Remember Kai the psychopath Bonnie lover.

Kai is evil because he had a crush on Bonnie. That’s an unforgivable character flaw in Plec’s eyes.

Presenting: The Bonkai Legacies 2x12 AU my soul needed written!

“You know Dad’s probably trying his best to find us a way out of Uncle Kai’s prison world, Lizzie.” Josie sighs.

“No, I don’t think he is.” Lizzie whispers furiously. “Trying his best, would be getting his shit together and just contacting Aunt Bonnie to-”

“Bonnie?” Kai’s voice interrupts them. The twins stare at him in confusion. “D-Did you say Bonnie?” He repeats breathlessly.

X-X-X

A/N: In all the excitement of Kai Parker’s return on Legacies, this Bonkai Legacies AU fanfic oozed out of me like I was some alien creature excreting fluids 😂Tho I should say, I’ve never watched Legacies, so idk much about the sand clock/dark Josie stuff so I’m not including it.

BTW this was all written before Kai’s Legacies episode(s) came out, so I assumed Alaric dumbly sent expelled Salvatore School students to Kai’s Prison World, but ultimately he, Josie and Lizzie got trapped there too, and now Kai’s happily threatened to sic Rick’s ex-students on Josie and Lizzie in a “supernatural Hunger Games” fight to the death/survival of the fittest situation.

My fic picks up at a point where we assume Kai’s holding Josie and Lizzie hostage while Alaric managed to escape him and is hiding elsewhere in the Prison World, trying to figure out how to save the twins. Hope you enjoy!

Part I

“So, not only are we trapped in a prison world, we’re trapped in the prison world.” Lizzie hisses at her twin. “The one with our trigger-happy Uncle Kai who’s tried to kill us since we were fetuses.”

Said Uncle Kai smirks while nonchalantly sharpening his machete only a few feet away from them.

“Lizzie, calm down,” Josie sighs, eyeing him warily. “If he really wanted to kill us himself, he would’ve done it by now.”

“Smart cookie,” Kai chimes in without looking up from his machete. “Just like your mother.” He sighs wistfully. “Sissy was so smart. She had her whole future ahead of her. Such a shame what happened to her.”

“No shit, Sherlock.” Lizzie snaps. “You literally Red-Wedding’d her!”

“Not what I meant, Lindy.” Kai chuckles. “I meant, it was a shame she got knocked up by ol’ Rick-iana Jones. She could’ve done so much better.” He rolls his eyes. “You and Jody are walking, talking proof of that.”

“Is that why you tried to kill us before we were even born?” Josie asks quietly. “You hated Dad?”

“And once again, Nick’s idiocy gene rears its ugly head. You’ve had 16 years to figure out why I wanted to kill you and you’re still wrong.” He sneers. “Man, my proteges are gonna crush you two so easily.” He laughs. “Isn’t it gonna be hilarious when Ricky’s two dumbest mistakes-” he points at his nieces. “-get killed by his biggest mistake?” He gestures to the prison world around him, crawling with vengeful supernaturals loyal to him. “Nah, not hilarious.” He muses, then snaps his fingers. “Poetic.”

All traces of humor leave his face. Josie stifles a fearful shiver while Lizzie masks her fear with a glare. Abruptly, Kai smiles and resumes sharpening his blade, almost as if their conversation never even happened.

“What the hell is taking Dad so long?” Lizzie grits out. “I’m sick of waiting around like this. Especially with this creep.”

“You know Dad’s probably trying his best, Lizzie.”

“No, I don’t think he is.” She whispers furiously. “Trying his best, would be getting his shit together and just contacting Aunt Bonnie to-”

“Bonnie?” Kai’s voice interrupts them. The twins stare at him in confusion. “D-Did you say Bonnie?” He repeats.

The girls exchange glances. “…Yeah, why?” Lizzie frowns hesitantly.

His face practically lights up in sheer glee. “She’s here, too?”

“If she was here, we would’ve been home by now.” Lizzie narrows her eyes at him. “She would’ve kicked your ass.”

“Lizzie!” Josie chides her.

“No, no,” Kai chuckles, waving her off. “Lily’s right. Bonnie definitely would’ve kicked my ass. She’s done it before.” He smiles fondly. “She’d kick my ass, I’d kick hers back. Maybe I’d stab her a little bit. She’d give me an aneurysm or two, boil my blood,” he shivers, grinning softly. “God, she’s so hot.”

Lizzie and Josie stare on in horror.

“What’s she up to now, huh? Is she still single?” He asks breathlessly.

“I-I think so.” Josie nods and Lizzie nudges her for actually answering.

“Oh, great!” Kai beams. “If that answer was a no, I may have had to go on a minor murder spree and kill her boyfriend.” He resumes sharpening his machete. “And every ex she’s ever had.”

“Aunt Bonnie would crush you first.” Lizzie sneers.

“Aunt Bonnie,” he sighs wistfully. “She’s your Aunt Bonnie and I’m your Uncle Kai. It’s perfect.”

The girls cringe, but Kai suddenly stiffens. “That’s it. Change of plans.” He claps and stands up. “Alright, idiots. If you want me to consider cancelling the Hunger Games to help you avoid certain death,” he points his machete at them. “Bring me Bonnie.”

X-X-X

A/N #2: Depending on what y’all think (and my muse), I might post more of this random Bonkai Legacies AU I never thought I’d write! It’s oozing out of my eyeballs!

Legacies Opinions 2x13: Forget Me Not...

WARNING: This post may contain spoilers for Legacies 2x13!

Hello, my lovely readers. It’s opinion time! 

Does anyone else feel like one thousand things happened in last night’s epi and it might take twenty pages to deal with all of it but I’m going to try to do it in less than five. So, here we go! 

Shipp-y time first: 

Handon:  This epi. might shock some of us because Hope does the unthinkable. She chooses to save other people; instead of running off to rescue her boyfriend. However, this also means that Landon is finally placed in a situation in which his powers finally activate! Yay! We finally get to see his full-fiery-phoenix-y-self in action. And no can be prouder than Hope. How? Oh, how did we get to this point? Well, it’s a matter of trust. Landon and Hope come to an agreement earlier in the day that neither of them will take risks without the other taking risks, too. And poor Dorian is caught in the middle, being used as an instrument of both Kai’s and The Necromancer’s machinations put an arrow in this bird-boy. It would also help to prevent Hope from being there to coax Alyssa from killing the Saltzmans. 

Only problem for the Handon shippers now is the question: Did Hope finally decide to allow Landon to take the training wheels off and become the hero we knew he could be, or did she literally leave him to die because she’s going to move onto a new love interest? Just putting that out there. I hope that’s not what’s happening. But Landon and Handon are too happy. As those of us who watched TVD and TO know from being burned so many times; our happy couples rarely last. It just doesn’t drive the drama-meter. So, hold on, because conflict is coming up.     

Sizzie: The second biggest ship of Legacies had a shocking resolution (for now) in last night’s epi. Again, in the world that craves drama we we were given a boulder size portion in last night’s epi. although Sizzie only got a couple minutes of the epi. to be together. In a not-so-shocking twist, Liz feared that Seb might be angry with Ric and come after him for driving a wedge between the lovers. However, it is Seb to the rescue who prevents Ric from being wolf-chow and Seb who becomes the person to anchor the PW, instead of Ric. Liz shows up at the end of the epi, begging Seb to go to the Mali Pit and to try to find his way back to her. If you did not find yourself moved my Thomas Doherty’s performance last night; I believe you need to go to a doctor and have them check for a heart. 

Do I think we’ve seen the last of Sebastian? No! if that was it... Blah! Blah on all your houses, Legacies Team! The only people I want back just as bad are Penelope Park, Caroline Forbes (and Klaus Mikaelson... The Necromancer could bring him back... Just saying... )

New ships: Triangle between Kaleb/Aylssa/Jed. And Josie and Jade. 

Kaleb/Alyssa/Jed: One of the funniest parts of the last epi. was watching Jed, Kaleb and MG trying to find The Golden Arrow and failing because two of the three males can’t stop over the school’s current “evil temptress.” Even MG’s getting a chuckle given Alyssa’s crush on him. How this triangle will play out, who knows? But it looks like Alyssa has a decision to make when she isn’t too busy causing chaos for the school (specifically #Team Saltzman). 

Jasie: Sorry, folks. I’m not jumping on this ship yet. I still want Penelope to storm in the door and to help Jo deal with this heap of evil she’s thrown into herself. but it looks like the writers have some other ideas. And who knows what will come of it given Jo’s trying to pretend she’s okay and is in fact still harboring a heap of Willow Rosenburg-esque evil.  

Other than ships, we had Kai masquerading as his father, the last Joshua Parker which led to him having a minor fight scene with Hope and I don’t know if anyone’s going to ship Hope and Kai, but there’s going to be someone out there. For me, seeing Hope and Kai face-off just made me miss Bonnie and Kai facing off and wishing we could coax Kat Graham back with cookies or happy fan-ish-ness. Alas, I believe that ship has sailed... 

The Necromancer’s plans are still being slowly unveiled and Rafael finally returned. Possibly as part of The Necro’s plans because Raf was wolf-napped by one of The Necro’s Red Hooded goons. Does this mean that Raf is going to be a sleep solider in The Necro’s army? is Raf dead and come back like Cassie and we won’t find out ‘till later in the season? What the hell is happening here!  

Oh, and Darth Jo is part of the The Necro’s plans, too! Oh, no! that it feels like the pot’s going to boil over soon. 

On the bright side, we can look forward to all-out-crazy-out-away-and-away-from-our-usual-time-sequence for ep 14. A month from now! A month! Say it isn’t so...

Until mid-March, I bid you all ado!  😊

Legacies Boss Explains the Premiere's 'Unlikely' New Romance, That Kai Reference and Hope's Next Move

Legacies returned for its sophomore season on Thursday, dropping viewers into a strange new world where Hope Mikaelson simply doesn’t exist. (You can always tell that something is amiss when Alaric grows a beard. Need I remind you of last season’s jinni fiasco?)

In an extremely abbreviated nutshell, here’s how the residents of Mystic Falls spent their summer vacation: Landon divided his time between caring for a still-wolfy Rafael (movie nights in the woods!) and falling in love with Josie, who finally got her newly bearded father to reveal the secrets of the ascendant; MG visited Kaleb’s family, crushing hard on his “off-limits!” sister; and Lizzie saw Caroline in Europe, where she balanced self-improvement with a healthy admiration of the locals.

And then there’s Hope, who managed to screw over Clarke and escape from Malivore just in time to see her boyfriend locking lips with another. After shedding a few well-deserved tears, Hope concluded that Landon might actually have found happiness with Josie. But just as she was prepared to get the hell out of Dodge Mystic Falls, along came a big, ugly monster-of-the-week to keep her exactly where she belongs.

Below, executive producer Julie Plec breaks down some of the premiere’s biggest moments, teasing a season’s worth of heartbreak still to come:

TVLINE | Let’s start at the end. I know you can’t tell me, but I’m asking anyway: Who or what was that spooky robed figure pulling Clarke out of Malivore?

The mystery of what this thing is, what it wants and what it’s doing is very slowly revealed over the next few episodes, then suddenly all at once when we hit midseason.

TVLINE | I’ve always operated under the assumption that Clarke is bad news. How genuine was his big speech about not being evil, and just wanting to escape his father?

I think he was being 100-percent genuine. What he’s pissed about is that he was open and vulnerable with Hope, and then she exploited that and left him to suffer in the very place he wants to be the least. He thought they’d built a little bit of a simpatico thing, only to be abandoned. So now he’s just pissed.

TVLINE | I did enjoy watching Hope and Clarke work together, albeit briefly. They gave me major Bonnie-and-Kai vibes from Season 6 of The Vampire Diaries.

Oh, yes. Those are always fun write, when the two people you think wouldn’t be be able to stand each other are stuck together. I call it the broken elevator storyline. Two people stuck in a situation they can’t get out of.

TVLINE | Speaking of Kai, it was surreal hearing him referred to by Josie as her uncle. I assume this isn’t the last we’ll hear about him.

It’s definitely not the last we’ve heard of him. We’ll keep laying little Kai Parker Easter eggs, because he is a massive part of the twins’ backstory and mythology, which is something we plan on telling stories from for the entire series. While I know we’ll never be able to get Chris Wood back for an entire series, it’s certainly fun to keep him alive in the hopes that we’ll get to see him in small doses over the course of the run of the show.

TVLINE | In the meantime, we’re seeing Freya in a few weeks! Why is this the perfect time to bring her back into the fold?

Riley [Voelkel] was always the one that was so happy to be anywhere and do anything and help anybody out. Even in this case, she was willing to go from shooting Roswell to shooting Legacies all in the same week — while also having just finished a series regular role of her own on a new show. It felt great to have her back in the family, and it’s great for the story. For poor Hope, who’s now been forgotten by anyone who’s ever loved her, to have access to a family member at this crucial time would be a really great thing.

TVLINE | Yeah, I feel like Hope is a little directionless at the moment. Where does she go from here?

The first decision she has to make is: Should people remember her, or should she just escape and get on with her life and leave everybody to what she believes is their happiness? That’s what she struggles with for the first bunch of episodes. She thinks that if people seem happier without her, maybe she’s the problem, and maybe they’re better off if she’s not there at all.

TVLINE | Well, she wouldn’t be a Mikaelson without thinking she’s a burden on everyone.

[Laughs] I know, what a martyr.

TVLINE | I’ll admit, my heart broke for her when she saw Landon and Josie kiss. What was the thinking behind putting them together? Was it that they’re both drawn to Hope, so with her out of the picture, they’re drawn to each other?

Yes, but they’re also two people who have lived their lives for others for a very long time. Landon never had anyone to take care of him, which is why he always felt the need to care for Rafael and to protect himself. And Josie is such a protector of everyone. They’re the two people left at the school for the summer, which is another stranded-on-a-desert-island story. It brings the most unlikely of people together.

TVLINE | While I’m glad Hope didn’t end up getting on that bus, I’m a little worried about the big, scary thing that knocked it over.

That was a very, very tall actor on even taller stilts. That was our Shrek costume. He is, in fact, the star of Episode 2.

TVLINE | OK, now let’s talk about the star of this episode: Alaric’s beard. Is that thing sticking around?

It’s not going anywhere anytime soon. It’s not permanent, but I like it a lot, and so does Matt [Davis]. Hopefully, he’ll someday return to his old life and his old look. But in the meantime, it’s a good look on him.

TVLINE | And that was Sheriff Mac sitting with him at the bar?

That is the new sheriff, yes, that was our first look at her.

TVLINE | I guess he’s found a new drinking buddy to replace Damon. What’s the dynamic between those two?

They have an interesting dynamic. He’s a man of secrets and she’s the town sheriff, so I think there’s always going be some conflict there. We also know he’s been unlucky in love, so as we learn more about her backstory, I think there might be a friendship there that can bloom between them.

TVLINE | Lastly, I love that Kaleb is promising to help MG win Lizzie this semester. How successful will they be?

[Laughs] It depends on your definition of success. I think MG’s ultimate success will either be to finally have his love reciprocated, or to realize that he’s better than Lizzie and doesn’t need that love reciprocated.

Your thoughts on Legacies‘ season opener?

Family Reunion

“Is that it?”

Garrett craned his neck forward to get a better view and I suppressed a giggle. “Yes, babe, that’s my parents’ house. What did you expect?”

“When you said you lived in a wooded area, I dunno, pictured creepy cabin, bloody axe on the doorstep...”

I kissed his cheek before gently elbowing his side. “Come on, park the car, I can’t wait to see my mom!”

There was already over a dozen cars parked on the lawn, it was a wonder Garrett could find a spot. I could hear the nieces and nephews already playing in the backyard, probably climbing up and down from my old treehouse or chasing the cats in the pole barn. “Probably Uncle Reese and his family arrived yesterday,” I said as I climbed out of the car.

Garrett was already attempting to lift both our bags, making a big show of grunting and heaving. “Man, you weren’t kidding when you said your family goes all out for reunions. Did you pack the whole bathroom?” He groaned.

“Oh, stop it!”

I suppose his shock was justified, I hadn’t really told him much other than that I have a big family and my house isn’t exactly small either.

The ruckus only grew louder as we hurried up to the front door, I was practically dancing in place. “We’re home!” I announced as I walked in the front door, Garret poking his head in nervously behind me.

My mom ran in from the kitchen, her eyes lighting up as she wiped her flour covered hands on her apron. “Emma! Oh my baby girl, you’re home! I missed you so much!” I swear she was crying a little as she wrapped me in an uncomfortably tight hug. I could smell cinnamon in her hair.

“Mom, you’re crushing me. And you saw me just last month!” I managed to untangle myself from her before gesturing to the guy trying to hide behind me. “Mom. This is Garrett.”

Mom wiped her eyes, getting a swathe of flour on her face. “Oh, I’m sorry, Garrett. Emma’s told me all about you, I hope she’s not forgotten to tell you about me?”

Garrett laughed in an attempt to hide his nerves. “Of course, Mrs. Silver! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you!” He held out his hand all formal like. Mom took this as an invitation to yank him into a hug. My mom’s short but she is a strong little lady.

“None of that Mrs. Silver stuff, call me Diane! My, you’re a tall fellow, aren’t you?” She pulled apart to look him up and down. “Nice muscles! You have great taste, Emma!”

“Mom! Please!” I hid my face in embarrassment.

I heard the wood creak as a familiar set of boots walked up. I lowered my hands to see a tall man with graying hair and a thick beard.

I smiled. “Hi, dad… this is Garrett. He’ll be having dinner with us tomorrow.”

My dad eyed Garrett up and down, Garrett looked more tense than a stretched rubber band as he smiled nervously. “Mr. Silver, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He held out his hand again, I swear I saw it shake. Dad’s an intimidating man to people who know him, I can’t imagine how he looks to the person dating his little girl.

Dad stared solemnly for a few seconds, his face cold, before his eyes finally twinkled and he pulled Garrett in for a half handshake, half hug. Another thing to know about my dad- he’s a teddy bear.

“Garrett, finally, we meet! Emma’s said nothing but good things about you!” He boomed.

“Oh, really?” Garrett almost immediately relaxed. “I hope I meet your expectations!”

“Enough of that formal talk, boy!” My dad slapped Garrett on the back, nearly knocking him over. “You’re a part of the family now! I’ll take up your bags to your room, Garrett can sleep with the boys...” He trailed off as he saw me make a sour expression. “Only joking! He’s sleeping in your room too! It’s already all made up, your mom’s had it ready for a few days now.” He hoisted up both bags and headed up for the second floor.

I giggled and looped my arm in with Garrett’s. “Come on! Let’s go see my cousins! I’m sure they’re going crazy waiting to meet you!”

We found them where I expected, in the downstairs game room, the younger ones playing video games while the older ones were busy chatting it up. Roger looked up and beamed. “Hey, Emma, you made it!” He jumped up and quickly wrapped me in a hug.

“I see you’re a hugging family,” Garrett noted as he looked around.

Roger snickered and looked around the room. “Kay, the kiddos playing Super Mario are Jane, Chris, and Leon, they’re like twelve,” Chris turned around and stuck out his tongue, “Okay, Chris is thirteen, sorry, geez, the idiot who isn’t nearly as good looking as me is my twin brother Ryan, the girl wearing the red t-shirt is my little sister Bonnie, the really, really pregnant one is Mia, and the dude who totally isn’t high out of his mind is Jason.”

Jason tried to glare before he caved. “Okay, I’m a little high. But I’m not as high as I was at Christmas!” He complained. Ryan raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment.

Garrett nodded as he looked around the room. “Great, I, uh… yeah, I’m probably going to need to be reminded of your names a few more times while I’m here,” He said.

Roger gently punched his shoulder. “No worries, we’ll just beat the shit out of you if you get it wrong. Scooch over, Jason, make room for Emma and her boyfriend.” The way he said that almost made me want to punch him. Almost. I’m used to idiot cousins.

I stole one of the beanbags and made myself comfortable. “Where’s Greg, he’s usually here by now,” I said.

Ryan shrugged. “I think he’s with Uncle Keith? Rose went too.”

“Awww, I was looking forward to seeing her,” I complained.

“You’ll see her tomorrow at dinner,” Bonnie said, looking up from her phone, “But she’s trying to avoid her mom right now. She ah, brought her fiancee.”

Ooooh. I looked to Garrett. “Rose is gay, she met a girl while at college. I didn’t know they got engaged though!”

“Oh yeah!” Bonnie snickered. “You really need to get on Facebook more often. Auntie Octavia had a freaking meltdown when she saw she had changed her Facebook status to ‘Engaged to Marie Schultz.’ First it was about how she wasn’t going to have any ‘real’ grandchildren, whatever that means, and then it was about that how she didn’t tell her before announcing it to Facebook, gee, wonder why, and then it was about how it was sinful, and oh my god, it was just a dramatic shitshow!”

Jason giggled. “It was hilarious! She was crying about it with my dad on the phone, my dad was just ‘uh huh’ and ‘of course’ until he hung up, and then he went to the fridge and got like, three beers.”

Garrett nodded slowly. “Ah, the gay cousin drama. Think everyone’s been through that. Where’s the fiancee then?”

“Marie is currently in the kitchen, driving Octavia nuts.” Bonnie’s smile was downright sinister. “She was raised in a family of cooks and is wooing the crap out of the rest of the aunts. They all love her. Even Great Aunt Denise!”

My jaw dropped. “Aunt Denise? She’s the biggest Bible thumper in the family! She got shifty when my mom and dad moved in together two months before they were married!

“I know!” Bonnie threw up her arms. “Octavia is practically about to explode! Didn’t help that the stress had her screw up her stupid fruit cake, ended up adding a tablespoon of baking soda instead of like an eighth of a teaspoon. Completely ruined it, she had a meltdown and sobbed but no one really cared, frikken drama queen. I think she’s just drinking wine in the corner and pouting while Marie has everyone else eating out of her hand.”

I looked over at Mia, who seemed content as always to be quiet. “How you feeling, Mia? Aren’t you supposed to have had that baby yet?”

Mia blinked owlishly a few times. “Oh, no, not for another month… I feel ready though. I’m huge.” She groaned and squirmed a bit. “I still can’t believe there’s only one in there too.”

I giggled and reached forward, taking her hand. “I can’t wait to meet this lil guy! Or girl, you’re still keeping the gender quiet?”

“It’s gonna be a surprise! A really great surprise. I think I’ve settled on William for a boy… or maybe Leroy...” Mia sighed and threw her arms up in the air. “Nevermind, I still don’t know!”

“You should name him after meeee...” Jason teasingly flopped himself onto her shoulder, which got him shoved to the floor for his trouble. “Owwww!”

Mia smiled bashfully. “Oops?”

The rest of us laughed before Roger jumped to his feet. “Come on, let’s go raid the wine cabinet!”

Chris perked up. “Can I-”

“Absolutely not!” The cousins chimed together while Chris’ shoulders sagged.

“Come on! Jason said you guys snuck wine all the time when you were my age!”

“Yeah, and we got our butts beat so bad we couldn’t sit down for Easter lunch,” I said, ruffling his hair. “Few more years bud, we’ll turn a blind eye when you’re eighteen.”

That night I laid in my old bed, staring up at the ceiling where there used to be some sort of fanart of a TV show I used to watch. I’d long taken it down, but I could still see bits of the blue tacky stuck to the plaster.

“Your family is fucking amazing.”

Ah, wondered when that was coming. I looked up, Garrett was getting dressed for bed but had sat down at the foot of the bed to ponder the day’s events. I laughed and sat up. “I mean, they’re family, I guess they’re okay…”

“I mean it though.” Garrett turned to me, I think I saw a tear in his eye. “I’ve been hugged by people who think I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Your cousins, your aunts and uncles, even your dad...” His voice choked up a bit and he turned away.

I sat up and crawled to him, wrapping my arms around him in a hug. “Hey, hey, it’s okay. I know your family… well, they weren’t as… good as some.” That was an understatement. He’d opened up about what hell he’d been through. “But my family? We stick together. We never, ever hurt each other. The bad apples, well, Grandpa Oliver disowns you. And if the patriarch of the family disowns you, you’re no longer family. That’s how we do things here. And… and I love you, Garrett. That means they love you too.”

Garrett blinked a few times, probably to clear out the tears. “… I love you too, Emma.” He kissed me and I giggled, running my hands through his hair. We parted and that roguish grin of his that I’d gotten attached to returned.

“So, have you ever screwed anyone in your childhood bed?”

Answer is no, I hadn’t, and although I was paranoid about the creaking, it was a pretty great screw.

Next morning I woke up, rolled over to get some great cuddling in, and found that Garrett’s side of the bed was empty. Confused, I sat up and glanced around the room. His phone was still here, although he’d changed out of his pajamas.

Where the hell was my boyfriend?

I rolled out of bed, managing to get dressed quickly enough before heading down to the kitchen. I’d slept in, no idea why I’d not been woken up, but I headed for the kitchen first.

My mom was just sliding something into the oven when I tapped her shoulder. She spun around, setting her hand on her chest. “Christ Almighty, Emma! You could scare a person half to death!” She said.

“Mom, have you seen Garrett?” I felt my stomach growl as I smelled the soup cooking on the stove. God, I couldn’t wait for dinner. “I woke up and he was gone. Left his phone behind so I don’t think he left.”

“I don’t know, dear.” Mom frowned. “He might’ve and just forgotten, Roger and the boys had to make an emergency run into town, your grandfather was worried there wasn’t going to be enough food to go around.”

I snorted. “Mom, there’s always enough to go around… but I guess it wouldn’t be a reunion without leftovers. I’ll check the pole barn, maybe dad needed some help carving up dinner.”

The late morning sun was already warming to the typical summer heat, the littlest of the kids were playing hide and go seek, I dodged toy balls and dollies before reaching the pole barn door. I knocked a few times and reached for the handle before the door opened.

Dad stepped out, his leather apron flecked with blood. “It’s a mess, Em, it’s probably best you stay outside,” He said.

Fair enough. “Dad, have you seen Garrett? I’ve been looking for him all morning.”

“He’s with me, helping out.”

Oh thank god. I smiled. “Well, tell the idiot he left his phone inside, all right? I was worried about him.”

Dad grunted before closing the door. Men. I rolled my eyes and headed back indoors. Dad never liked to be interrupted while carving up whatever he and the guys caught. Oh, well, and Rose this time. So not just the guys.

I went to make myself busy in the kitchen. Aunt Octavia was already there being dramatic as can be while peeling potatoes, apparently that’s all my mom and the other girls trusted her with. I settled with making the bread, kneading it and letting the loaves rise while getting another ready. Never enough food, according to mom, never enough. Marie was super great though, she had a soft voice that was never loud and she had a way with chopping vegetables.

I never caught sight of Garrett, although I knew he was probably just busy with Dad. Wrapped up meat would get shifted into the kitchen thanks to Ryan and Roger, although that wasn’t my job to deal with, that was always mom’s. This year she had Marie to help, much to Aunt Octavia’s horror, although I doubt not even Marie knew the secrets to all the spices mom would throw in.

I was about five minutes from losing my mind and just grabbing a handful of the steamed broccoli and going nuts at it when my mom said it was time to bring it all to the table.

We had to always set up tables in the basement, there just wasn’t enough room anywhere else. I sat with my dad. And since he was the oldest, he got to sit near the head of the table with Grandpa Oliver.

I really am lucky to have a grandpa still around when I’m twenty three, let alone a grandpa who’s in truly great health. The man is wiry but strong, with a full head of silver hair and a cold, steely stare. But he was my grandpa, and he loved all of us grandchildren.

There were so many this year, I scanned the table for any sight of Garrett but was disappointed to see he hadn’t made it down. Where the hell was he?

Marie and Rose were holding hands across the table and giggling, I was mildly jealous of how cute they were. Aunt Octavia had quite the tongue lashing from my mother and Aunt Denise earlier, so she was holding her peace for the moment. The table was lined with bowls of mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, various soups and stews, breads, and covered silver plated trays. My stomach was almost hurting by all good it looked, but I wasn’t a kid anymore, I couldn’t get away with snitching a bite. Especially with Grandpa watching me like a hawk. It was like he knew. I settled with chewing on my lip and staring longingly at the covered tray in front of me.

Grandpa stood and cleared his throat. “Everyone, quiet, quiet...” It didn’t take much to make everyone shut up, even the little kids knew to be quiet when Grandpa talked. “Shall I speak a prayer over the food now, before one of us snaps and starts filling their plate before the blessing?”

I almost asked about Garrett but I kept my mouth shut. The quiet murmurs of agreement circled the table and bowed their heads. I held onto my father’s and grandfather’s hand, bowing my head as well. Grandpa cleared his throat and began his prayer.

“Our creator, who gifted us with the bounty of nature, we thank you for this food, but also we thank the men who slaughtered it, the women who prepared it, and now we shall partake in what we’ve been given. In the name of the Wild’s God, amen.”

Everyone murmured amen as well and reached for the tray lids. They were lifted off and I was greeted with a cloud of steam to the face. I had to take off my glasses and wipe them off before putting them back on.

In front of me was a man’s head, steaming hot and surrounded by a garnish of greens. Its eyes had been carefully scooped out, the top of its head removable so that one could enjoy the brains. The mouth was stuffed with minced up pork by the looks of it, and the smell, oh the smell was divine. Cuts of the best parts of man and woman were scattered up and down the table.

If only Garrett could have seen it.

“Wow.”

Garrett walked in right at this moment, wiping off his still bloody hands. He looked up and down at the array. Grandpa turned around, his face stern.

“Boy, you’re off to a bad impression. You missed the blessing!” He scolded.

Garrett’s face went light pink as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Sorry, Roger and Ryan went on ahead, I told them I could handle cleaning the workshop.”

Grandpa blinked owlishly. “… You did it on your own?”

“Well, yeah! I mean, Emma’s dad said it had to be done before we sat down to eat and… wow.” Garrett slowly approached the table, I could hear his stomach growl. “I honestly thought Emma was screwing with me, but you guys really go all out when you get together.”

Grandpa nodded. “Well then.” He looked down at where Ryan and Roger were grinning sheepishly. “Boys, you left the newcomer to do it on his own?”

“He volunteered!” Ryan complained while Roger facepalmed.

Grandpa scowled. “Just for that, you’re cleaning up after dinner,” He said. The twins groaned while I laughed and motioned for Garrett to sit the hell down.

“I was worried about you, idiot.” I lightly elbowed him.

Garrett laughed, spooning a mound of the pork from the head onto his plate. “What, did you think your dad got pissed at me and decided I was going to be dinner too?” He shook his head. “Nah, Roger and Ryan needed help, and well, I delivered. It was really nerve wracking to go hunting, but once it was done, it was… wow.”

“I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time that happened to my boyfriends.” I let Garrett stew in his horror for a few seconds before I laughed. “Kidding! The only time dad made my significant other prey was when he was caught peeping through other girl’s windows. Oh, and he cheated on me. Jack ass.”

“Oh, totally a jack ass.” Garrett gasped as a cut of the thigh was passed down. “Oh my god, that looks amazing.”

“Take a bite.” I leaned in, my breath coming to a stop. What was he going to think? Would it live up to his high expectations, the fantasies he revealed to me when he knew he could trust me?

The meat was so tender it practically fell apart with his fork. Garrett swallowed, clearly nervous before sticking it in his mouth. He chewed, swallowed… and grinned.

“Wow! It’s amazing!”

I did a little dance in my chair. “All right! Now pass me the mashed potatoes, babe, oh, and a slice of the breast meat! Love me some breasts- don’t you take that the wrong way!”

Garrett laughed, and it was then I knew he was a keeper.

How you meet: you hurt eachother both physically and emotionally, and then laughed about it. Alot! It was a normal day, you had just returned from dance practice and you were kind of exhausted; so you weren't paying that much attention to your surroundings! And then, let's just say, you hit a wall. Literally! Knees buckling, foreheads banging, elbows stabbing eachother in the stomachs - you struggled to break free. "Oh my freakin- you broke my face!! My face is broken!! What the hell is your forehead made out of?!! Bricks?!" "Well, I wouldn't of had to break your face if you had just watched where you were going, you frat-boy looking douche!" There was a long pause, some intense eye contact and then you both were cracking up; red faced and both clutching your stomachs, you managed to introduce yourselves! You've been attached at the hip ever since! You both have 4D personalities and you both love to make people laugh! You're 100x more extra when you're with eachother! Like Bonnie and Clyde, Tom and Jerry - you have eachothers back but always tease eachother constantly! He quickly becomes one of your best friends! He also gets oddly really protective of you, in a funny way, and his band mates like to tease him to see his reaction! "Hmm, I think my girl crush would have to be Barbie! She's really sexy!" "...(delayed reaction) Wait, what!? (^..gif..^)..who just said that!?? I'll stab you in the eye with a fork!!.." Even though he uses humor to mask how much he dislikes other people talking about you, you know if it came down to it, he would genuinely put someone in their place for you! Your friendship is the sweetest! (*sob*.. my 4D son!)

Female bestie: Lisa (Black Pink)

How you meet: you meet through dance! You had started taking more and more dance classes and workshops after your debut and occasionally you would meet new people in those classes! Long story short, she "accidently" caught you off gaurd after practice one day and you might have turned around and kicked her in the shin in a desperate attempt to "defend" yourself. You apologized over and over again but she just wouldn't stop laughing and take your apology, "hahahahhahahahaha you call that self defense?! You looked like a rabid bunny...I'm sorry hahahhaha...I can't stop laughing...hahaha.." "HA! Hilarious. Laugh it up..." She ends up choking which makes you laugh hysterically, until both of you are just a mess of giggles. You quickly end up bonding over your love for dance and food! And it became kind of a game between you two, on who could sneak up and scare the other more: at award shows, at fan meets, at restaurants; any and everywhere you could possibly think of! You had gotten in couple of good scares, but she was still the reigning queen! Which, she always brags about! "Lisa, you're best friends with Barbie right!?" "Yeah! She's my bestie!" "I hear you like to sneak up and scare eachother! How do you usually do it?!" "Yeah! I get her everytime! Like this...(^.. gif..^).." She's such a fruitloop, but you love her!

Group bestie: NCT Dream

How you meet: it was one of the weirdest encounters you've had in your entire life, to be completely honest. One second you were picking out something to eat at the local 7-11 and then without warning you were surrounded by a pack of fetus looking thugs. "You barbie!?" "We've literally watched every single one of her music videos and all of her interviews. We know what she looks like, why would you ask such a stupid question!?" "I was just trying to act cool!" "Well that's your problem right there! You're a rapper not an actor!" "You want to fight me!?" "Oh look, Canada thinks he can throw down.." "Stop pushing his buttons, Haechan. But on a serious note, we've all seen pictures of her on Lucas' phone sooooo that definitely was a stupid question.." "I swear to go-" "Umm, sorry to interrupt but...what is happening!?" "We're your new best friends, we're here to replace Lucas. Nice to meet you!" "Ummm..I mean..okay, sure.." And just like that, your fate was sealed! (No joke, my brothers football team actually did this to me! Soooo yeah, this legit happened!) You end up not really minding though. They are super supportive, always cheering you on and hyping you up! It's kind of cute, they follow you around like little ducklings; always competing with Lucas for your attention and friendship. "Noona, Yukhei said you prefer atleast one of your bestfriends to be buff so..(^.. gif..^).." You love them!

Ship name: b-min, smiley couple

How you meet: you ran into him at an award show. Literally! You were too busy trying to watch out for Lisa! You knew she was obviously attending the award show, and you knew it was the perfect setting and opportunity for her to sneak up and scare you; so you weren't paying attention to anything! Until you were laying flat on the ground, another human being hovering over you. "Yikes, are you okay!?" "Oh my god! I'm soooo sorry!" You apologize profusely as he tries to help you stand. "It's no problem, I might be short but I'm sturdy- nope, I take that back, you're shorter.." With red cheeks and shaky hands you both stumbled awkwardly through your introductions and from then on, it was history! He ended up asking you out and you jumped at the gun to say yes; you've been together ever since. He really is a great boyfriend, always cuddling you, buying you flowers, taking you out to eat, supporting you. (I'm actually getting kind of jealous lmfao) He's whipped and his band mates tease him about it all the time! "And here we have Park Jimin not paying attention to the camera at all because he's too busy texting Barbie! What a shocker!....(^.. gif..^)..." You're total relationship goals!

Biggest fan: Wooseok (Pentagon) is probably your biggest fan! He's constantly listening to your music, watching your MV's, downloading your songs, watching your TV appearances and talking about you in interviews! "I'm a huge fan of Barbie-noona! She's really talented and she's such a good dancer! I would love to collab with her sometime in the future!" It's the cutest thing; he's such a big fan of everything you do and he's so loyal to your fandom, constantly calling himself a fellow bb! "Wooseok, quick question! Do you think there is anyone in the world that dances better than Barbie?!" "...(^..gif..^)..." It's adorable!

Scandal: it's not a secret that you're a dancing dancer who loves to dance, and it's definitely not a secret that EXO's Kim Jongin is one of the best dancers out there, in your opinion! (It's a total FACT!) So given that he's actually one of your closest friends, even an older brother at times; always willing to practice with you and give you advice! You use this to your benefit! Often! That's why dispatch has photographs of you and Jongin together on multiple nights! "New romance between Solo Artist Barbie and EXO's Kai?!" "Ken and Barbie?! More like Kai and Barbie! New hott couple alert!" You both end up laughing until you're curled up in a ball on the floor. "Really?! A Barbie and Ken joke!? That's what they're leading with?" "You're a bit too vertically challenged to be a Barbie, but honestly I'm killing it in the Ken department.." "Jongin, are you actually trying to fight me right now?!" It's really ridiculous!

Other activities: sure, you're a singer and a rapper but dancing is and always will be your number one! It's your passion, it's what you went to school for and it's what you live to do! So when yg suggests that you start trying to broaden your fan base with some type of variety show or competition like 'Hit the Stage' you freaked out! (Girllllllll, so would I!)You were so excited but also very nervous to showcase more of your dancing skills on such a big platform but it turned out to be one of the funnest experiences! You ended up feeling right at home amongst the other dancers, made some new friends, learned more about dance as a craft and even made some new fans! "It was just sooo fun! I was definitely nervous but I pulled though! I knew I had it in me!" "Ohhhh wow, so you're just not going to give me credit at all!? I mean, its not like I went through another dating scandal just to help you practice or anything, right?! How rude of you, midget." "Oh my god, Jongin, I swear I will push you down a flight of stairs..." It was awesome!

Admit It

(requested by anon) Kai Parker x Reader word count : 5 161 summary : Reader has a crush on Kai but its too afraid / shy to tell him.  * gif by jake-riley keep reading after the cut 😉 (it turned out waaay longer than I thought , hah😅🙈) ___________________ End of the semester. There were exams and so many other things to think and obsess about , but instead Y/N didn’t care about any of those things. All she cared about was Kai , well more like thinking and crushing on him in silence. Which is one of the reasons why Stefan had offered to tutor her in history and pretty much every other subject. No one liked Kai very much but he still got free access to the Salvatore boarding house whenever he wanted. That’s exactly where Y/N was that day - studying with Stefan. She sat on the ground resting her back against the sofa with a text book in her hands. Flipping page after page pretending to read , it wasn’t like she wanted to pretend. It kind of just happened on its own.  Every time she closed her eyes Kai’s face popped behind her eyelids. None of her friends could figure out how she could fall for him of all people. In their eyes he wasn’t a good person and was definitely not good enough for her. Only the heart wants what it wants. Somehow in all those years , he had been the first one to stir something inside her. There had been other boys she liked but it had never felt this way. All she could do was think about him. Dream about him. Kai was constantly in her mind no matter if she wanted him gone or not. He had her completely under his spell , only there was a problem. Y/N was shy and was too afraid to tell Kai about any of this. Chances were he was going to reject her. “Hello ? Earth to Y/N.” said Stefan waving his hand in front of her face snapping her back to reality. “You spaced out again , didn’t you?” “No.” “Right.” he trailed off. “You are going to flunk the exams if you don’t stop thinking about him.” “I am not thinking about him!” snapped Y/N , a sigh leaving her lips a moment later. “Sorry. I - I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It’s just…” “You like him but you are too scared to tell him.” he finished for her. Y/N nodded. Kai could have anyone he wanted. It was enough for him to smile at any girl and she’d swoon instantly. Y/N always did. His eyes , his smile , his dimples always made her so weak. “Maybe I can help.” he offered. “I can ask him , you know test the waters for you.” Y/N turned towards her friend. Stefan had the best intentions , she knew it but it just didn’t seem right. She wasn’t in 2nd grade anymore , she was in her senior year of high school. Asking someone to ask the person you have a crush on if they have a crush on you was just … childish. “No. You don’t even like him or approve of me liking him.” she stated flipping another page by habit. Stefan reached his hand taking the text book out of her hands. Y/N didn’t protest. “Also he is going to laugh at me. He said it himself - he is not burdened by emotions like love. I’m perfectly fine crushing in silence.” Stefan studied her face. He didn’t have to be a vampire to know she was anything but fine crushing in silence. Y/N needed someone to intervene for her , other ways if Kai found someone else , she’d be crushed. “Oh-kay. Do you want a sandwich ?” “Grilled cheese please.” she smiled. Stefan mouthed ‘Okay’ and headed towards the kitchen. Y/N took back her history text book and started reading , for real this time. Stefan was right. She’d flunk her exams if she didn’t focus. A few minutes later just as Y/N had finally managed to concentrate , the large front door opened. The girl hadn’t even noticed someone had walked into the house until that someone sat on the sofa and leaned in to see what she was reading. Y/N felt someone’s breath on her neck and turned her head finding Kai’s face barely two inches away from hers. “Hi.” said Kai grinning. “What are you up to ? You didn’t even look up when I walked inside. Its hurtful.” “I … I um…” she stuttered. “I’m studying.” “Can I help ?” he asked. “Its been a while but I am sure I can be of use. Also I’ve been told I am an excellent tutor.” “By who?” she wondered. Y/N would’ve said YES in the blink of an eye , if she hadn’t been this shy. Even though she was pretty sure Kai being her tutor would be more than distracting. He was a distraction even when he wasn’t around and him standing this close to her , with his hand on her shoulder had completely thrown her off balance. His blue eyes sparkled more than usual and his smile took her breath away. That day he was wearing gray jeans with a dark blue t-shirt and a black jacket. His hair was a bit longer and Y/N fought the urge to run her fingers through it, not that she would’ve been able to do more than to raise her hand and stand frozen contemplating what it would feel like without actually doing anything. “Here’s your sandwich.” said Stefan landing a plate with grilled cheese on the coffee table. His eyes darted between Y/N and Kai. At the moment Y/N had turned towards Kai and he could feel her hyperventilating at the sight of Kai standing this close smiling at her.  "Why are you here ?“ Kai looked away from Y/N giving her the chance to look away. Her gaze fell on the sandwich and all of the sudden she didn’t feel all this hungry. From the place Kai had put his hand on her shoulder it felt as if electricity had started pulsating in her bloodstream. Her heart was beating faster than ever and she was pretty sure she had been holding her breath for the past 5 minutes. It seemed as if the room had gotten hotter only it hadn’t. It was the feeling of her skin being on fire because of Kai. "Oh I was just walking by , thought why not drop in and see what my friends are up to.” said Kai amused. “Maybe I can help with the tutoring.” “We are not you friends.” said Stefan glancing at Y/N who seemed frozen , her eyes focused on the plate in front of her. Kai had placed his hand on her shoulder and Stefan could hear her heart beating way too fast , causing her cheeks to turn red. “And I’m perfectly capable of helping Y/N with her exams on my own. Thanks. Why don’t you find someone else to torment ? Like some innocent sorority girl or a cheerleader?” Y/N suddenly got up , Kai’s hand falling from her shoulder. Quickly she gathered her things and shoved them in her messenger bag. She ran roughly her fingers through her hair turning towards Stefan and avoiding looking at Kai completely. “Sorry. I - I have to go.” she mumbled not even bothering to take the snack Stefan had made her. A moment later she was out the door. “What did I do to her?” wondered Kai looking after Y/N. It appeared as if she was trying to win a marathon or something , nearly smacking her face into the door before opening it. “Every time I am around she just ups and leaves or acts super weird. What did you tell her about me ? Or should I ask my two biggest fans Bonnie and Damon?” Kai reached for the plate but Stefan slapped his hand away. “Rude.” Stefan grinned at him , taking a bit from the grilled cheese. “That’s just the way she is.” he said. “No. It’s not.” said Kai. “Last time I saw her , we were at the Grill and she nearly smacked her nose a wall and almost broke it in her hurry to get away from me. I don’t see her running away from any of you like that. Y/N didn’t even say goodbye to me.” sighed Kai with a note of hurt in his voice. Kai couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The more he thought about it , the more he thought it hadn’t been something he had done , which meant someone had said something to her. Y/N was one of the few humans left in the group. It was why he liked her. She had a chance at a normal life. Well as normal as her life could be with vampires , witches and werewolfs as her best friends. He wanted to be her friend too. There was something about her that was drawing him in. He could tell she wasn’t like her friends , but each time she acted like this it made him feel weird - sad and hurt. He hated that feeling. “Look what the cat dragged in.” said Damon walking into the house with Elena on his arm. “What ? No cheerleaders to play with ? Get out.” “I am not going anywhere until someone tells me whats up with Y/N.” insisted Kai. “Why is she acting like this around me?” “Y/N likes you.” said Elena smiling. “As if it isn’t obvious by the way her cheeks blush every time you are around or anyone mentions your name. Not to mention how she just can’t stop talking about you. Bonnie can’t stand being around her anymore.” “I don’t know why Y/N would even look at you , let alone like you.” added Damon. “You are the most awful person in the world.” he grinned. Elena punched her boyfriend’s forearm. “Damon ! Don’t say that … in front of him.” “What do you mean she likes me?” wondered Kai. Everything after Elena had said Y/N likes him had somehow gotten lost on the way to his ears. “Ugh , I know its been 18 years for you and clearly you are out of practice when it comes to girls.” groaned Damon. “But its so obvious even Miss Cuddles sees it and her brain is made out of cotton. Y/N has a crush on you.” Stefan stood there , finishing his grilled cheese and trying to figure out how to stop what was happening in front of him Y/N had specifically said 'no’ when he had offered to intervene on her behalf. “Would you two stop talking?!” he said. “Y/N would find a way to kill all of us if she figures out any of us spilled about it.” “I’m not going to tell her. Are you?” asked Damon pointing at Elena , who shook her head. He turned towards Kai next. “Now you know. Get out of my house.” “Why wouldn’t she just tell me?” thought Kai out loud. “Because she is shy , specially when it comes to boys even more if she likes the boy.” said Elena softly. Out of everyone she seemed to have the nicest attitude towards Kai , even though he knew she didn’t like him either. “Also probably thinks you don’t like her back and doesn’t want to get hurt.” “I … I think I might like her back.” whispered Kai , everyone stared at him the same way they had when he had stabbed Jo at the wedding. Elena and Stefan struggled for words. Only the eldest Salvatore seemed to be able to speak. “Get out.” said Damon pouring himself a drink. “Alright alright… I’m leaving.” said Kai raising his hands in defence. “By the way - your house is not that cool now. I liked it better in 1994.” Damon threw one of the sofa pillows at Kai , missing him by a few seconds as Kai left the house. He walked around the front yard , his hands in his pockets kicking in a small stone on his way. Y/N’s friends wouldn’t lie to him , at least thats what he thought. Either way he intended on finding out if it was true. When Elena had said Y/N likes him , something weird had happened with Kai’s heart - it had stopped for nearly half a minute. And he had felt this weird warm fuzzy feeling spread through his body. “Emotions … ” he muttered. “Why do they have to be so hard ?” *          *          *

Y/N wondered the streets of Mystic Falls for hours trying to clear her head with no luck. Finally she got to her house around 8PM , kicked her shoes right after walking inside and dropped her bag near the door. She walked upstairs not even bothering to put on her fuzzy slippers and threw herself face first on her bed , smashing her head against the pillow again and again. How it was that she was so shy ? Why couldn’t her friends compell her to be more open and straight forward ? Y/N felt like such an idiot leaving the Salvatore’s like that. She rolled on her back  grabbing the pillow and placing it over her head ready to scream her frustration into it. After she was done with that , she changed and went to bed. Y/N tossed and turned for a while before finally starting to drift into sleep. Just as she had fallen asleep someone laid on the bed next to her. “You look so cute when you are asleep.” said Kai softly. Y/N’s eyes opened and she found Kai laying on his side , his body turned towards hers. Her eyes went wide and she screamed jumping off the bed. Kai laughed. “What the hell?!” she shouted , running her fingers through her hair. “What are you doing in my bed? Get out!” “Why would I do that?” said Kai laying on her bed with his hands behind his head. “Your bed is awesome and those pillows are so soft. Plus you and I need to talk.” “There is nothing for us to talk about.” said Y/N , pulling the pillow from under Kai’s head and smacking him with it right after. A moment later she turned towards the door with the pillow in her hands. If Kai intended on sleeping in her bed, she will be sleeping on the couch. How had he even gotten inside the house ? When had he gotten there? Questions swarmed her mind but no answers came to her. “Oww.. So hostile.” said Kai serious for a moment before starting to laugh. Her heart fluttered hearing his laugh. It was so beautiful for a moment she almost let go and started laughing with him. “I guess I like it better that way. Its much more fun than -” Y/N reached the door , bouncing right off it the second she tried to get out of the room. What the …?! she thought , placing her hands where the empty space was.It felt as if there was glass instead of air only she knew better. Y/N threw her pillow at it and weirdly -  the pillow went through. A groan of frustration left her lips. “- you running out of the room whenever I show up.” he laughed getting up from the bed. Y/N sighed , turning around to find Kai standing barely an inch from her. His eyes were fixed on hers , sparkling in the dim light. Why did he have to be so perfect with his smile and everything. It felt like torture being this close to him and not being able to force a word out out her mouth or to make herself touch him. Her breath got hitched in her throat again for the hundredth time the past few weeks. “I sealed us into the room sweetheart.” he said brushing his fingers against her cheek. “You are not getting away this time.” Y/N felt her heart race and her cheeks flush at his touch. Having him standing this close to her was definitely not helping her overcome her shyness. “Not unless you admit that you have feelings for me.” he added taking a step backwards from her. Kai sat on her desk chair spinning himself on it a few times before his hands reached for a small elephant figurine she kept on her desk. He played with it for a while before getting up and walking around the room touching things - a few notebooks , flipping the pages and looking inside until Y/N yanked them out of his hands. The her childhood picture , turning it to her and pointing at it with a smile on his face. “You were so cute back then.” Y/N glared at him and sighed in frustration. Back then ? What was that supposed to mean ?! “I don’t - I don’t have feelings for you.” she said and threw herself face first on her bed again. Apparently her friends had spilled the beans. How could they do that ? Specifically after Y/N had just told Stefan NOT to do that earlier in the day. “Sure you do.” said Kai getting onto the bed with her again. He laid on his stomach placing his elbows on the mattress and holding his head in his hands.“I don’t blame you. How can you resist my good looks and my killer charm? Its mission impossible.” he laughed. “You are so full of yourself.” she muttered into the mattress. “Hah!” he laughed messing up her hair. “Deflecting hhuhh… HEY by the way I like how your hair smells like peaches. I love peaches. How is your hair so soft ?” “Get out of my room please.” “No. I told you Y/N. We are sealed into the room until you admit that you have feelings for me.” Y/N reached in her back pocket taking out her phone. She lifted her head up  running her fingers through her hair trying to fix the mess he had made , not even looking at Kai. Quickly she dialed Stefan who picked up pretty almost half a minute later. Maybe he’d back off if thinks a Salvatore might show up to her rescue. “I’ll kill you and Damon and Elena as soon as this idiot lets me leave my bedroom.” Kai laughed grabbing her phone. “Hey Steven. Sorry , she can’t talk right now.” He got off the bed and slid the phone across the boundary along with his own phone. “There. No more interruptions.” Y/N stared at him. Asking him nicely didn’t work. Involving Stefan didn’t have the result she had expected … there had to be a way out of this room. “I hope you brought food.” she said getting off the bed and casually walking to the window. “Cuz we will be suck here for a looooooooong time.” She hurtled herself at the window , trying to get out through it with no luck. Kai seemed very amused by her angry face expression. Y/N rubbed her shoulder not expecting magical boundaries could hurt that much. There’d be bruise showing up on her shoulder in the next few days. Kai grabbed her by the waist in vampire speed and tossed her onto the bed with him on top. He could hear her heart racing and now he finally knew why that was. Their eyes met and suddenly he felt the desire to kiss her , but he didn’t plan on doing that until she confessed her feelings for him. Somehow he’ll have to wait a while longer. “Come on princess. Admit it.” he teased , his lips almost touching hers as he spoke. “You are dying to feel my lips on yours. For me to hold you in my arms all day and night long.” “No, I am not.” she pushed him off her. Kai grabbed her by the waist again and they rolled onto the bed twice until he was on top of her again. “Stop doing that.” “Why ? Does me being this close to you make you nervous ?” he said innocently. “Or maybe I don’t make you nervous. Maybe that’s exactly what you want , isn’t it ? It’s OK. You can have me this close for as long as you want any time you want … just say the words.” “What?” she wondered. Y/N was starting to think that she was hallucinating. Who knew , maybe she was and all of this was a dream or a hallucination brought upon by stress of her finals. It wasn’t possible that he had said what she thought he had said , was it ? No. Kai was messing with her. He was just bored and had decided to come over and entertain himself. “Don’t what me , you know what.” he said leaning in even closer to her. His eyes piercing into hers. Y/N could feel his breath on here face , intoxicating her. Involuntary her hands reached for his hair and then froze in mid-air before dropping on the bed next to her. “I don’t like you.” she said quietly. “Of course you don’t.” said Kai with a serious expression on his face. “You love me don’t you?” “God ! Get off me !” “Whats the magic word?” he teased. “I have vervain in my night stand’s drawer?” “Wrong , but I’ll be nice and do as you ask.” he said amused , rolling onto the bed next to her and casually resting his hand on her stomach. His fingers tapped on it in the rhythm of some song , moving up and down , sending shivers all over her body. Kai was having way too much fun in that moment , specially listening to her heart beat and breathing. He noticed how every time he got close to her , her heart started beating like a hummingbirds. Her breathing turned shallow and her cheeks flushed a bright shade of red. He liked the effect he had on her , even more so now that he was starting to figure out he likes having her in his arms more than he had thought possible. A few minutes passed , Kai turned towards her seeing her eyes were closed and a small smile was tugging at the corners of her mouth each time his hand moved on her stomach. Kai was so close to breaking the boundary around her. Just a little further .. “Let go.” he whispered. Y/N cleared her throat , opening her eyes. Her hand took his , tossing it on his stomach. Not only her skin was on fire but he had her feeling a billion other things all at once. She didn’t know if it had been his intention but the more his hand moved on her stomach , going up and down , the more her head was starting to spin. His touch felt amazing , having him this close to her felt amazing. “Can you be my personal hero and poof me a sandwich ? I haven’t had dinner.” she said suddenly , feeling her stomach starting to rumble. Maybe she should’ve grabbed the grilled cheese on her way out of the Salvatore’s earlier that day. “I can’t poof you a sandwich. What is this ? A Disney cartoon?” he said , trying not to laugh. “However I did stop by the Grill earlier. There are curly fries downstairs. Your favourite right ?” Ah , of course the fries would be downstairs and not here. Clearly Kai had planned ahead. Her stomach rumbled again. “I hate you.” she muttered. “No , you don’t.” he laughed turning to his side. His fingers brushed against her cheek and Y/N closed her eyes. “Why is it so hard for you to say it ?” “There is nothing to say because there is nothing there.” she snapped getting off the bed. Kai got up right after her pinning her against the wall , his hands placed on either side of her boxing her in. Y/N’s eyes looked everywhere but at him. “What if I told you there is something … that maybe there is something on my side too?” he said quietly , his eyes drifting between hers and her lips. “You are lying.” she replied. “All you want is for me to say something so you can make fun of me later.” A look of hurt flashed in his eyes for a moment and then he pressed his body closer to hers , his forehead almost touching hers. Almost there , Y/N was almost where he wanted her but she still refused to say it. “What if I’m not lying ?” he whispered. “Would you say it then ?” “Nothing to say.” Kai took a step back from her , seeing Y/N run her fingers through her hair. “Hope you like your bedroom because … none of us is going anywhere until you confess.” he stated. “God this will be so much fun !” “Fine.” she said  , pausing for a moment. Kai looked at her expectantly. “You are sleeping on the floor. Now , move.” “No.” “No?” “No.” “Ugh !” she groaned pushing him away and walking towards the bed. “Can you at least get my pillow back please?” “You can use me as a pillow.” he said hopefully. Y/N was starting to get on his nerves. Anyone else would’ve confessed by that point. All of the sudden a new plan formed in his head. “Voudoux.” he muttered , drawing her pillow back in the room. He patted it a few times , and gave it to Y/N. “Sweet dreams princess.” Kai made himself comfortable on the floor next to her bed and yawned placing his hands under his head. Y/N stared at him in confusion , the shrugged her shoulders. She could deal with him in the morning. Just a few more hours until the sun rises. “Thanks …for the pillow.” “Any time.” he muttered sleepily. About half an hour passed and Kai started to snore. Y/N however remained awake. She laid on her stomach starring at him with the moonlight seeping through the window. A sigh left her lips and she ran her fingers through his hair carefully , doing her best not to wake him up. His hair was so soft to the touch , it was hard for her to stop. A smile showed on her face seeing Kai crunch his nose in his sleep. “I wish I could tell you.” she said quietly. “I wish I was brave enough to say it when you are awake and not sleeping curled up into a ball , looking so cute and cuddly.  I do like you. I do want you to kiss me , but I know its never going to happen.” Y/N tapped his nose lightly , her fingertips exploring every inch of his face trying to memorise the feeling because there wouldn’t be another time for her to do that. “How am I supposed to tell you that each time you are around my heart tries to leap out of my chest or that a billion butterflies start swarming around in my stomach flapping their wings like crazy? That your smile makes me the happiest person in the world or that your eyes have me completely mesmerised each time I look at them…” she sighed. “Or that I can’t stop thinking about you day or night ? I get so nervous when you are around , I freeze and act like a complete idiot. You must think I’m pathetic.” Y/N rolled over on her back , covering her face with her hands. The next minute passed in silence and she had just started to calm down her breathing when - “I don’t think you are pathetic.” said Kai. “I think you are the most incredible person in the world.” A split second later Kai was on top of her , moving her hands away from her face. Y/N looked so terrified and scared of what she had just said. He couldn’t understand way. Hearing her say those words had thrown him into a pool of this warm fuzzy feeling he always got around her. His heart did a few very weird flips hearing her say she wanted him to kiss her and he wanted to kiss her now more than ever. He knew for sure now - he liked her. “Please go.” she whispered. Kai brushed his palm against her cheek , smiling at her. Y/N wondered why he was smiling. He had tricked her , made her believe he was asleep in hopes she’d say it then..and he had been correct. Kai gazed into her eyes for a long moment and pressed his lips on hers. At first Y/N appeared too startled to react and then her hands wrapped around his neck ,pulling him closer to her. Kissing him felt electrifying , his touch waking up every cell in her body with only a single burning desire on her mind. Too soon Kai pulled away , brushing his nose against hers. “That wasn’t so hard , was it ?” he smiled at her. “Come on princess. You must be starving. Lets go downstairs and I’ll make you whatever you want. And after that we can talk about our first date.” “Wait what ?” “Our first date.” he said smiling as if its the most obvious thing in the world. “I told before but clearly you were too lost in my eyes to hear what I was saying. Weirdly how it took me so long to find out why you were acting so weird.” Y/N stared at him , afraid to move or even blink thinking all of this would somehow vanish in an instant. “I like you Y/N. You are fun to be around and … I’ve never felt anything like this in my life.” he sighed , grabbing her hands and pulling her off the bed. “Don’t look so shocked. I’m changing.Or maybe you are changing me. It’s complicated I guess.” “I - I …” “You are so cute when you are stuttering.” he pressed his lips against hers again. Kai lifted her up until her legs hitched around his waist and her hands around his neck , lightly tugging on his hair. A smile was starting to spread across her face. “So about that first date. I assume you will say yes?” Kai muttered a few words and then walked right past the door , heading downstairs to the kitchen. Y/N’s eyes were fixed on his and she wasn’t even blinking. Or breathing for that matter. “Yes.” she said quietly still unable to wrap her mind around what was happening. It was all going too fast and too slow at the same time. Kai smiled widely at her , stopping on the way down , backing her against the wall. Their lips met again in a deep passionate kiss. Sounds of someone clapping surprised both of them. At the end of the stairs stood Stefan. He rubbed his nose and ran his fingers through his hair starring at their startled expressions. “Well , I see you two patched things up.” said Stefan smiling , making both of them turn towards him instantly. “Don’t you dare break her heart. Or I’ll rip out yours.” “Stefan !” “Oh-kay.” muttered Kai , looking away from Stefan who had just walked out of the front door. “I think your friends are warming up to me. Sort of.” Y/N started to laugh , Kai joining in a few seconds later. MASTERLIST March / April 2017 MASTERLIST MAY 2017 MASTERLIST JUNE 2017

I always found the “Kai is the most evil guy with zero redeeming qualities” excuse funny because when you look at which villain did the most harm to the core group, Kai actually did the least.

Lol The worse thing Kai ever did was kill his siblings. The things he did to Bonnie was fucked up too, but they were all retaliations to violence she initiated first. But compare that to Damon who did more harm to Elena Bonnie and Caroline’s life. And to Stefan by killing his friend Lexi. Damon who harmed Jeremy by killing Vicky, then killing Jeremy. Damon who sexually abused Caroline. Klaus who ruined Tyler and Stefan’s life by taking away their free will and making them hybrid slaves and a ripper. Klaus who killed aunt Jenna. Klaus who actually killed Elena. Damon who kidnapped Bonnie’s boyfriend in season 5 and turned Abby into a vampire. Damon who’s indirectly responsible for gram’s death. Like Damon and Klaus are the cause for pretty much all the pain and loss the main characters endured. Yet Kai is made out to be the most evil thing when he barely did anything to any of the main characters. In Plec’s eyes him being a Bonnie centric character was his biggest crime. If we’re being honest that’s what made Kai irredeemable. Remember Kai the psychopath Bonnie lover.

Kai is evil because he had a crush on Bonnie. That’s an unforgivable character flaw in Plec’s eyes.

Ummm ya'll... Plec's racism is trending again, this article was recent "When Will Vampire Diaries Co-Creator Julie Plec Acknowledge the Horrible Treatment of Bonnie Bennett?" By Princess Weekes

Saw some active tweets too. Glad more people are calling her out.

I read it and the article is on point.

When Will Vampire Diaries Co-Creator Julie Plec Acknowledge the Horrible Treatment of Bonnie Bennett?

What position was Bonnie on the cheer leading squad? I never saw her routine but I think she was close enough to Caroline that she probably was like the co captain if Caroline was sick, especially since she knew all the routines and offered to tutor Elena when Caroline was telling her she was too out of practise to stay on the team.

She should have been co or at least deputy captain, because in addition to all the reasons you mentioned, Caroline won't have got along with anyone who took the role as seriously as her. We see Bonnie cheerleading in s1 but in s4 during Elena's humanity-off arc, we don't see her in uniform and there's no explanation if she's just taking time off because of Expression or if she's dropped out. :(

Back in 2015 Plec knew what ships Bonnie fans wanted. She was very aware that nobody was asking for Bonenzo and very aware what that most of the audience found Enzo irrelevant and boring. Look at this tweet she said in response to someone who called Enzo boring. Now compare that to this tweet she said about Chris Wood. Enzo is just as much a violent murderer as Kai and Kol. Yet she put Bonnie with Enzo. So it’s not about Bonnie being too good for murderers. It’s about Bonnie not being good enough for popular characters. This is why she had an irrational hatred for Kennett and Bonkai and was okay with Bonenzo. Enzo wasn’t popular like Kol and Kai.

Agreed with everything you said. I will always say that if Julie was genuine about thinking Bonnie was too good for these bad boys, she’d have written Beremy 100x better than it was.

One of my favorite things about Bonkai is that it was a ship with consequences and a ship that (at one point before getting ruined) felt like it was going to be a dynamic where the guy actually has to earn things. I found that to be really refreshing on this show.

A show where Elena literally sleeps with Damon a day after he kidnapped her brother and killed her friend in season 5.

A show where -like Kai- Klaus also stabs the girl he likes, but unlike with Bonkai, Klaus stabbing Caroline (and giving her a poisonous werewolf bite) was turned into a “romantic” moment where a dying Caroline tells Klaus “you’re worth being saved cause you love me”.

A show where Damon murders an innocent pregnant Black woman and then 15 years later kills that woman’s husband (because Damon felt guilty looking at his nephew Zac) is turned into a moment where Bonnie tells Damon there’s hope for him cause he made pancakes. And the woman he murdered liked pancakes. So you know that totally makes up for Damon’s actions.

So anyway, Bonkai was different. There was no one coddling Kai. There was consequences for his family murdering spree. There was consequences for him leaving Bonnie behind in 1994 (although if we’re being real. Bonnie was left behind because she made it clear she isn’t leaving with Kai. And she stood stuck there not because of Kai but because she sent her magic away.) As shitty as that “hope for Damon because he made pancakes” line was, when the post-merge Kai arc started, I thought well maybe that was foreshadowing Kai. Maybe Bonnie learn about what he did on her birthday. Maybe Bonnie will come back questioning her loyalty to friends who don’t even notice she’s missing or care to meet her half way in a prison world. It just frustrates me that the ship where the abuse was least romanticized is falsely accused for being the worse most abusive ship of all. People even go as far to blatantly lie and say Kai tortured her fun (when in reality he tortured Elena for fun. He only harmed Bonnie to make a point or when she attacks him first) And that’s just mind boggling to me. People being anti-bonkai is one thing but being anti-bonkai and a “i’m holier than thou-hypocrite” is another.

Well said! I really don't have anything to add to this. It's like you took the thoughts out of my head!
