A/N: This is pretty much fluff with fluff. I hope you like it and remember that feedback is very much appreciated <3

Every step of the stairs screaked when you made your way to the attic. Even though they had barely been used for a very long time, the many years were beginning to tell on them.

The first thing you noticed when you opened the door to the loft was the dust. It was almost not visible in the dark but you could feel it tingling in your nose.

Y/N: Klaus, are you up here?

You had been searching for your best friend for hours; this was the last place where you needed to look. The silence was long – very long. Just when you were about to leave, an answer finally came.

Klaus: I’m over here.

You followed his voice until you saw Klaus sitting bent over on the floor. You frowned. This was a very untypical Klaus posture. And if anyone would know that, you would.

The two of you had been close friends since childhood. You had gone through everything together, never leaving the other one’s side no matter how the situation had been.

Y/N: What are you doing?

Klaus: I’m trying to find this thing I had when I was younger. It’s a small stone. White. Almost shaped as a heart, at least if you have a bit of imagination. Do you remember it?

You could not help but smile.

Y/N: I do. And apparently I remember it better than you do.

You placed your right foot on a small stool next to him and drew back your trouser leg. A glistering silver chain embellished your ankle. And a small, white stone hang from it.

Y/N: You gave it to me, on my 12th birthday. Remember?

He closed his eyes and smiled.

Klaus: Your 12th birthday. I remember now. The winter before had been awful. Everyone was slowly running out of food so there wasn’t much of a celebration. I gave the stone, everything I had, to make sure that you got at least one gift.

Y/N: And you reminded me that my birthday should always be celebrated for as long as I lived. Turned to be a lot longer than we had expected.

He kept silent, lingering to the memory. He did not have many happy childhood memories but in the few ones, which he had, you were always there.

You pulled your trouser leg down again and sat down next to him.

Y/N: So tell me. What exactly made you come all the way up here to search for a little stone?

Klaus: You’ll think me silly.

Y/N: In that case, it wouldn’t be the first time. Come on, tell me.

It took a few seconds before his brain finally agreed to let his heart speak.

Klaus: I soon am to be a father. For every day which goes by there one less day until my daughter is born.

Y/N: And you want her to have the stone?

Klaus: No, I… I don’t know what I want. I guess I just wanted to feel the comfort which it gave me as a child.

You and Klaus had faced many dangerous things during your millennium together. But you had never seem fear in his eyes the way that you did now. Your hands took his.

Y/N: Klaus, it’s okay to be scared. Every parent-to-be is.

Klaus: But every parent-to-be isn’t a monster feared by all living beings in the world. One day she will found out everything I’ve done. And how would she ever be able to live with me after that? I’m not just a bad person; I’m as evil as it gets.

Y/N: Hey, you’re not all bad. I’ve known you all your life; if there wasn’t good in you, do you really think that I would have stayed? I mean I know you’re egotistical, I know you’re self-centered, I know-

Klaus: Are you going somewhere with this?

Y/N: But I also know you have a good heart. That child will be so lucky to have you as a father.

You pulled up your trouser leg once more, took off the chain and placed it in his hand.

Y/N: Here, take this. It will give you the courage that is had been given me through centuries. A reminder that you are always loved. And when time is – who knows, maybe on her 12th birthday – you can give it to your daughter to make her remember that she is loved greatly by you. And by me, of course.

Only on a few occasions had you seen Klaus cried. And mostly, his tears were due to feeling hurt or betrayed. But today, right now, the water in his eyes were the result of something else; he felt the most sincere kind of happiness which has ever existed on Earth.

He did not have to thank you; his eyes said it all. So instead, he placed a soft kiss on your cheek.

Klaus: What did I do to deserve such a great friend as you.

Y/N: Honestly? I’ve got no idea. But if you ever want to thank me for me being, well me, then I like diamonds. A lot.

You blinked, a playful smile dancing on your lips. But to your surprise, his face stayed in the same serious folds.

Klaus: Will you be my daughter’s godmother?

Your mouth dropped.

Y/N: Wh… What?

Klaus: I know I should speak to Hayley firstly but I doubt she’ll be able to find someone better for the job than you. Please. It would mean a lot to me.

Now it was your time to have your eyes filled with water.

Y/N: I… I’d be honored.

He gave your hand a squeeze and you have him one in return.

Prompts: 1. “Do you love me?” “Absolutely.” “Do you trust me?” “Not with that look on your face…” 3. “I really, really, really hope that’s not blood.” “Well in that case, I have some bad news…”

Pairing: KaixReader Words: 429

Quiet days with Kai did not exist – they never had and they never would. You knew and accepted that. Yet, you would always be surprised when the day took its turn.

Today it happened very late at night. When you were about to go to bed, a message popped in. Kai looked at your phone before you had the chance to.

His eyes got dark.

Y/N: What is it?

Kai: Damon.

You sighed, knowing their not so great relationship.

Y/N: So… What did he write?

Kai: He wants you to come to the Grill.

Y/N: That’s not weird. He’s my friend, remember.

Kai: He calls you babe.

Y/N: Well, considering he’s at the grill, he’s probably drunk then. Come on, let’s just go to bed.

Kai: He shouldn’t write that to you when you’re with me.

Y/N: I’ll tell him tomorrow to stop doing it, okay? Just come here.

You pointed to his side of the bed, hoping that he would stop this. But one never gets what one wants. His eyes suddenly lit up.

Kai: I have to go.

You got up, stopping him from leaving.

Y/N: What? No!

He turned towards you and put his hands on your arms.

Kai: Do you love me?

Y/N: Absolutely.

Kai: Do you trust me?

Y/N: Not with that look on your face…

He kissed your forehead quickly.

Kai: I’ll be home soon, don’t wait up for me!

And before you had the chance to say anything, he was gone. You thought of his last words. He definitely would not be home soon.

…

Small strokes of sunlight were coming through the window when Kai returned home.

Y/N: What happened, what did you, oh-

His shirt was completely red. And it had been white when he had left.

Y/N: I really really really hope that’s not blood.

Kai: Well in that case, I have some bad news…

You sighed.

Y/N: What did you do?

Kai: I just taught Damon not to write to my girlfriend like that. I didn’t kill anyone. At least not anyone we know.

You wanted to be mad at him. You should be mad at him. But there was just something… something special about having Kai, the guy who did not care for anyone, showing care for you.

Y/N: You can be forgiven for this. But don’t do it again.

He took a step towards you.

Y/N: And no kissed before a shower!

He smirked.

Kai: I can take a shower. If you join me.

Pairing: StefanxReader (platonic-ish) Words: 926

 A/N: This is a sweet songfic based on Charlie Puth’s  One Call Away. I’ve loved the song for so long and I thought it suited Stefan’s character well. If you’re feeling like life is a bit hard, this might be able to lift your spirit. The italics is the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it, please let me know your thoughts about it.

Your body was boiling. Not with anger nor with sadness – but with stress. Apparently everything had to be done right now and your time scheme was filled with lots of different projects.

Just as you were laying your finishing touch on an assignment, your phone rang. The name shone from the screen.

It was Stefan. Your best friend.

But you knew you did not have any time left for him and just having fun – another presentation, some other homework, and of course your chores at home had to be done. Therefore, you did not take his call.

After having done the dishes and making your way to your room again, the doorbell rang. You were slightly tempted at not opening it but decided to go the door anyway. When you opened the door, you were surprised by a familiar face.

Y/N: Stefan? What are you doing here?

Stefan: You didn’t answer your phone. I just wanted to check if everything was okay. I haven’t seen you around much lately.

You sighed. You knew that in the big picture everything was fine. But right now you did not feel fine. However, that was not something you wanted to burden him with.

Y/N: I’m fine. Just busy you know.

Stefan: Well, this is your lucky day then. The one where I’ll be there to save the day.

You frowned. What was he talking about?

Stefan: I’m taking you out on a little surprise trip. And don’t say that you don’t have time. You need to take a break and I’ll help you when we get back.

To be honest, getting away from everything sounded amazing. But you could not help but think about how much you would then have to do when you got back.

Y/N: Stefan, it’s really sweet of you but I don’t think I have the time for it.

Stefan: Come on. I’m reaching out to you – take a chance.

You kept quiet. His eyes shone with excitement and you hated to disappoint him.

Stefan: Please come along with me and don’t be scared. It’s just for the rest of today. I just wanna see you smile.  

He reached out his hand. In the end, the thought of getting outside the house and being with Stefan won the match and you took it. Stefan smiled happily and led you out in the sunshine.

…

The two of you wandered in unaffected parts of the forest. Parts, where the flowers grew wildly and plant and animals which you had never seen before lived to a great extent. The two of you spoke about everything and nothing – he even managed to make you forget about all the things that you had to do.

Then, you saw it. The lake.

It was the most beautiful thing that you had ever seen. There was a forest in the opening and the rays of sunshine hit the light blue surface of the clear water.

Stefan was already moving further one but you stood still. Finally, he noticed your different behavior.

Stefan: What is it?

Y/N: I’d like to stay here. If that’s okay with you.

Stefan: Of course. Despite knowing that you and me can make it anywhere, we can stay here for a while.

The two of you sat down in the fresh green grass. You closed your eyes and took a few deep breathes and decided that it was time for you to tell Stefan what was really on your mind.

Y/N: I don’t know how to handle this. It seems like life is just about continuing making projects and feeling stressed and I feel more and more alone.

After having told him, you opened your eyes and looked at him. His eyes showed how worried he was for you.

Stefan: I know that life can be tough sometimes. It can be hard to find the meaning with living. But you just have to remember to live, no matter how busy you feel. As long as we do the things we love and are around the ones we love, life has some sort of purpose.  

He moved closer to you and his green eyes looked deeply into yours.

Stefan: Remember that no matter where you go, you’re not alone. I’m here for you. Always.

His words touched you. Despite having hear his advice hundreds of times before, it was different now because it came from someone who genuinely cared for you.

Y/N: Thank you Stefan. That really means a lot to me.

Stefan: I want to help you, I really do – just let me know. I’ll be there for you. When you feel like hope is gone, just run into my arms.

You smiled and hugged him tightly, whispering a ‘thank you’ in his ear.

Stefan: I’m only one call away. So don’t hesitate to call me if you need a friend. No matter if you want help with a project or if you want to get away from everything.

Y/N: And what if I really want to go for a swim?

Your eyes sought the blue water and your lips turned into a smirk. Stefan did not look do happy about it.

Y/N: Come on, don’t tell me that after all those sweet words, I’ll have to call someone else instead. Damon perhaps?

As soon as you were done speaking, Stefan rose and swept you off the ground and carried you out into the water, both of you giggling on the way out.

Pairing: KlausxReader Words: 762

A/N: I haven’t written anything in a while. This didn’t turn out as great as in my head but I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is always very much appreciated.

Klaus: Where do you think you’re going, love?

You rolled your eyes while still facing the door before you turned around to meet him.

Y/N: Out.

Klaus: How nicely specific of you.

It took everything in your power to not roll your eyes again.

Y/N: Since when did it get illegal to get some fresh air?

Klaus: Since Rebekah had to leave and left me on protection duty.

You wrote a mental note to get Rebekah to stop protecting you – and it contained a lot of exclamation marks. Obviously, she did it out of love. And usually, you were okay with her slightly obsessive protection. But you did not need to have her leave the job to her brothers. And especially not to Klaus.

Y/N: Let me give the night off then.

Klaus: Not going to happen.

Y/N: Look, Klaus, no offence, but I really don’t like you.

Klaus: My job isn’t to be your friend. My job is to protect you.

Y/N: I don’t need your protection!

You hadn’t meant to raise your voice – somewhere along your conversation, frustration just took over.

And it was about to take over Klaus as well.

Klaus: Considering you’re a human who lives in Mystic Falls and has – if I remember correctly – been attempted killed by one werewolf, two witches, four vampires, and a humanity free dopplegänger, I’m pretty sure you need all the protection you can get.

Part of you wanted to point out that he forgot the time when one of the travellers had tried to murder you as well but then again, it did not really help your case.

Realizing your defeat, you stamped towards the coach and sat down reluctantly.

As if things were not bad enough already, your phone started ringing. Knowing without looking who was calling you, you just let it ring.

Klaus: Aren’t you going to answer that?

Y/N: Nope.

He frowned, his left eyebrow slightly lifted.

Just when it had finished ringing, it rang again.

This time, Klaus could not help himself. He stole your phone and looked at the screen.

Klaus: Who’s B/N?

You instantly got up and took your phone out of his curious hands.

Y/N: That’s none of your concern!

It only managed you to take three steps away from him before he was right in front of you once again.

Klaus: Who is he?

This time, his voice was much softer, the playfulness completely gone. The sudden change took you off guard.

Y/N: He’s… He’s no one. Really.

Klaus: Has he hurt you? Crossed your lines?

His searching eyes had a hard time finding your evading ones.

Y/N: It’s complicated. I guess most people wouldn’t call it crossing a line. I guess… I guess it’s just me.

Finally, your eyes faced his. But only for a short second. Then he grabbed his jacket and walked towards the door.

Y/N: What are you doing?

Klaus: I have something to take care of. Do not even think about leaving the house while I’m gone, you’ll have to face both mine and my sister’s anger and none of those will be pleasurable.

And with those words, he slammed the door.

Y/N: Oh no.

…

After having waited impatiently for what seemed like many hours, you sprung up from the coach when Klaus returned. Your eyes widened

Y/N: I really, really, really hope that’s not blood.

Klaus: Well in that case, I have some bad news…

It took a few seconds before you were able to ask the question to which you feared to answer.

Y/N: Did you… Did you kill him?

He walked closer to you.

Klaus: No. I didn’t. I wanted to after he told me everything he had done but I knew you wouldn’t want me to. I just taught him a lesson and compelled him not to speak to any woman again until he was capable of treating them the way that they deserve.

You were frozen of astonishment.

Klaus broke the long moment of silence.

Klaus: Well, I guess I’ll just go shower off the blood, then. Goodnight.

Just before he left the room, you gained control over your body again.

Y/N: Thank you.

When he turned towards you, he was met with a genuine smile. One which he had to return.

Magic isn’t necessarily making cool spells or controlling the weather. Magic is when you suddenly see another person for who they truly are instead of just seeing the shield like everyone else – and when you are not scared of letting someone see you for who you truly are. That’s magical.

So, I’ve really been discussing making a new prompt list a lot with myself. And I’ve come to the place where I’m just gonna try and post this and see what happens!

I’ve found some amazing prompts on @ourwritingprompts, @writers-are-writers, and @dialogue-prompts and since they really inspired me, I wanted to do a little list with some of my favorite prompts of theirs. I hope you enjoy this and send in some requests. And do check them out if you seek some inspiration as well :)

Summary: During a fight against a pack of werewolves, you get into a very dangerous situation. Matt tries to save you but will he be able to? Or will the two of you at least be able to tell each other about your feelings for each other before it is too late?

Pairing: MattxReader (+ some platonic!DamonxReader) Words: 1,156

A/N: My summaries suck, I’m so sorry. Please give it a chance anyway?

The atmosphere in the Boarding House was tense as the final details of the plan got settled.  Everyone – as in the entire gang – had to make sure that they knew everything about their own part of the plan in order to make it work because tonight was the night of the battle.

The enemy of this battle was a group of werewolves who had decided to take camp on the mountains just outside of Mystic Falls. It would not usually be a problem but during the last full moon, the wolves had gone on rampage in the town.

Therefore, they had to fight them. And they had to do it before the next full moon, which was tomorrow.

Damon: Everyone knows what to do?

You nodded along with the others. Because you were human, you did not have a huge part in this plan – but you still wanted to fight.

Damon: Well in that case, let’s go kill some wolves.

All of you rose and went to the door, you and Matt being the last ones in line. However, just before you walked out, Matt grabbed your arm and turned you around.

Matt: You’re sure you want to do this? No one will mind if you choose not to go.

You sighed. This was a recurrent conversation of yours. You knew that Matt just wanted to be a good friend and protect you but you wanted to fight.

Y/N: Matt, I know you just want to take care of me but I can handle this. I’m a great fighter and I might even be better with a crossbow than you.

Matt: I know that. I just don’t want to see you get hurt. Or worse.

Y/N: Look, I’m in just as much danger going out there to fight than I would be tomorrow night if you don’t get rid of the werewolves.

Before Matt had the chance to speak again, Damon appeared in the doorway.

Damon: Not to interrupt or anything but I’d like to fight the wolves while it’s still dark so could you perhaps wait with the troubling conversations?

Y/N: We’re coming Damon, I’m pretty sure two seconds won’t make the difference.

When he left, you turned to Matt again.

Y/N: I appreciate your concern but it’s my decision. Please respect that.

You felt bad when you noticed his eyes changing. You hated hurting him – after all, he was your best friend. You had known each other since you were kids. And truthfully, he might be something more to you. You had noticed a slight difference in your stomach when you looked at him. But you still had yet to truly understand its meaning, wherefore you kept quiet.

Y/N: Just… let’s go and get rid of the wolves and then we’ll talk later, okay?

You tried giving him a small smile but the smile you got in return was even smaller. However, there was no time to think more about that – it was time for battle.

…

The fight was quite unequal. There were a lot more wolves than you had expected and more than you were. And of course all of the vampires had to be careful not to be bitten since Klaus had been difficult to reach the last few months.

But as time went on, it looked as if you would win. And you had even gotten a few good shots in yourself, feeling proud of your skills.

At least you were until a werewolf, whom you had not seen, came in from the side and threw you away – out from the mountain.

Your scream was mixed with that of another as you flew away and down the side of the mountain. But before you had gotten that far down, your hand was grabbed by another person – Matt.

As you were hanging down the side of the mountain, you held fast as tightly as possible.

Y/N: Please don’t let go Matt.

Matt: I won’t.

Despite his words, you could see that holding you was hard for him. He grinded his teeth but he still held onto your hand.

He tried pulling you up but you were too heavy. He screamed for help but everyone was too busy in their own fights.

It did not take long before you could feel his hand getting slippery. Your heart sank – you knew how this was going to end.

Matt: I won’t let go. I won’t let you die.

He tried pulling you up once again but it only made his grip less tight.

You closed your eyes and prepared yourself for what you knew was to come.

Y/N: Matt?

Just before you felt his grip disappear, you looked into his eyes and finally realized what your body had been trying to tell you all along.

Y/N: I love you.

You had just said the three words before Matt lost his grip, resulting in you falling down from the high mountain. You closed your eyes and screamed but then you felt another hand around your wrist.

You looked up and saw Damon who easily pulled you up and placed you on the safe ground of the mountain. When you looked around, you noticed that all of the werewolves were dead and that all of your friends were safe.

After catching your breath, you gratefully looked at Damon and hugged him.

Y/N: Thank you Damon.

Damon: No problem. Could not let you die after giving poor Matt such a huge confession.

He looked behind you where Matt was sitting, looking both terrified and relieved.

Damon and the rest of them walked away from you and Matt, giving you some privacy. After a way too long awkward silence, you decided to speak.

Y/N: Turns out that you were right. Probably would have been better if I’d just stayed at home where it was safe.

You could not read any of the signals that Matt was showing and had absolutely no idea what he was thinking. You were just about to lie and say that you had only meant ‘I love you’ as in friends but then you were caught by surprise when you felt his sweet lips on yours.

When he pulled away, he held his hands around your chin and placed his forehead on yours.

Matt: I don’t know what I would have done if Damon hadn’t come and saved you.

His eyes were filled with guilt. You placed your hand on his cheek.

Y/N: Shh, it’s okay. I’m okay.

Matt: But…

Y/N: No, listen to me. I’m okay. And I’m okay because of you.

Matt: I love you too, you know. I just did not know it before I almost lost you.

Y/N: I know what you mean.
