OLD FLAME MASTERLIST: CLICK HERE
When you stormed off, you were too heated that you forgot to grab your car keys. So you vampire sped as far away as you could in case Rebekah was following behind you.
Eventually you hid in an alleyway, thinking of where to hide next comfortably. You even thought about hiding in plain sight, like reading a book in the park or getting a drink at the grill. But after a moment of pondering, you had an idea. An idea that you are absolutely dreading. “Shit.” You cursed to yourself aloud.
Here you are in the vacant hallway of the loft building in front of a wooden door. Using your vampire hearing, you can hear commotion going on on the other side. You ball your hand into a fist, placing it at eyes view at the door. It isn’t a secret that you are hesitating to knock.
But after seconds of halting, you knock three times, sighing at what lead you to your utter desperation.
The sound of footsteps approach closer and closer. It stops for a brief moment as if he paused to look through the peephole. And before you know it, the door unlocked and opened without missing a beat.
“I always knew you couldn’t resist me.” Malachai Parker smirked at your presence, giving you an elevator look. He is wearing black jeans and a plain gray tee.
“Shut up, Kai.” You pushed the heretic’s shoulder to pass through and he inhales your scent. “This is the only place I know she won’t find me.”
Entering inside, you notice that Kai’s bed is undone, yet the majority of his loft is tidy. You’ve actually never been inside his place, so you’re impressed that he doesn’t live like a slob.
“Whoa. Hiding from like a stalker or hiding from an enemy?” He asked. “I mean, of course I’ll protect you because-”
“Neither. It’s a long story.”
“I have all the time in the world, hunny bun.”
“Kai, don’t call me that.” You said sternly.
“Stop.” You snarled. One more out of him and you’re going to snap.
“Okay sweetie.” His eyes flashed with humor.
Your frustration kicked in. “I said stop!” You vampire speed towards Kai, holding him by the throat and slamming his back against the wall.
“Okay okay, Y/N.” Kai struggled to get the words out, but he enjoyed your dominance. You ended up releasing your grip over his throat. “Kinky much?” He joked and you shook your head in annoyance. “Now what do you want to do? Netflix and chill? Or just go straight to chill? I mean my bed is just a few steps away.”
You groaned, allowing yourself to sink down into the couch like mush. “I just want to sit here. I’ve had a day.”
“Great! We can sit here and stare at each other all day.”
“Kai enough. You’re seriously giving me a headache.”
“Fine, Y/N. Fine.” He sighed dramatically. “Honestly though. What’s going on? Who are you hiding from?” Kai laid over his sofa with his hands placed behind his head, staring at the ceiling. You sat on the love seat beside it.
“I’m hiding from my ex’s sister.”
“Umm…” Kai glanced at your, looking evidently muddled. You don’t blame him because it does sound crazy. Normally you wouldn’t care to give Kai an explanation, but since he’s allowing you to hideout in his home, you at least owe him this.
“So I have an ex who lives in New Orleans. His sister is in town and told me that he’s spiraling and she needs my help to bring him back to normal or something.” Your eyes flickered at the ceiling as you attempted to shake the old memories you have with the hybrid.
His eyes never left the ceiling. “Why would you want to help your ex? And how would you help your ex if he’s all the way in Mardi Gras city?”
“Put the pieces together, Kai.”
Kai nibbled at his bottom lip in thought for a moment. Swiftly and briskly he shot up, planting his feet to the floor as if the couch was on fire. “No way. There’s no way you’re going.” The concern in his voice grew by the second.
“Hello, I never said I was going.”
“I know I know I know.” He paced leisurely, blinking rapidly. “Just the thought of it stresses me out.” A muscle in his jaw clenched.
“Okay? Relax Kai. It not that serious.”
“Can’t they send your ex to a therapist or a mental hospital? Exes aren’t supposed to be helping their exes. Tell the sister to hit the road.”
“Kai, it’s not that kind of ex.”
“Yeah sure. So…” Kai sat beside you. He seemed to overlook your hint that your ex isn’t human. His mood lightened. “What do you want to do? We can play monopoly. Which is perfect because we’ll be playing for hours. Oh oh! I know. How about twister. Or even better. Naked twister.”
He placed a lock of hair behind your ear and your face contorted. You grabbed the couch pillow and hit Kai’s chest with it. “Ha. Ha. Very funny.” Though Kai was being a pain, you couldn’t help but chuckle.
Kai stood from the couch and grabbed the remote from the coffee table. “Here. Go watch some tv and I’m going to work on a cloaking spell.” He said, throwing the remote beside you.
Before walking off, he just remembered something. “Oh duh. Silly me.” You ignored his remark as you browse through Netflix. Kai casually pulls a strand of hair off of your scalp and you inhale sharply. “Gee. Thanks for the heads up.” You added.
After hours of binge watching and constantly having to remove Kai’s arm off of your shoulder, it was time to sleep. You turned the tv off, yawning as you stood and stretched your limbs. “Where’s your stash?” You asked, not having to specify human blood.
“Fridge. Bottom drawer.” Kai replied. He made his way to his dresser drawer and pulled out a fresh sheet along with a blanket. He also stole a pillow from his bed before making the couch.
Standing beside the island, you smiled faintly at his gesture as you sipped through the straw of the blood bag. “Thanks Kai.”
“The bed is all yours tonight.” He said, removing his clothes one by one and tossing it inside his laundry basket.
“But the couch is fine.” You protested.
Kai was in his boxers when he passed the threshold of his bathroom. “No seriously, Y/N. Take the bed.” He slammed the door behind him, tone resonating with solemnity. But you weren’t phased. Instead, you snickered and made yourself comfortable underneath the covers on the couch, allowing yourself to drift off to sleep.
When Kai’s lengthy shower was ceased, he wrapped a towel around his waist and purposely vacated the bathroom as so. He frowned when he found you asleep on the couch because he couldn’t tempt you with his muscular physique.
He kneeled beside you and brushed off the strand of hair on your face, fake pouting. “Stubborn little hunny bun.” He carried you bridal style and tucked you in his bed without waking you.
Upon waking, there is a faint noise that grows louder the longer your eyes are open. The warmth of the covers brought you to want to lay in them all day, however, you’ve realized you have matters to attend to.
Sitting up, you are both muddled and vexed that you found yourself in Kai’s bed. You sighed in relief that he isn’t beside you. Instead, he’s walking towards his door with nothing but his sweatpants on. It seems someone has been knocking on his door quite a few times.
Kai opened the door and it’s Damon. Disappointment clouded the Salvatore’s features. “Really, Y/N? You’re sleeping with another enemy?” Damon glared.
“Ha!” Kai exclaimed. “Oh I wish, Damon.”
“Damon, how did you even find me?” You asked.
Damon snickered as he entered inside to sit at the foot of the bed. “Thanks to bon bon, she broke his cloaking spell.”
“Of course.” You rolled your eyes. “But what are you even doing here? You could’ve called.”
Rebekah appeared underneath the doorway and you cursed to yourself. “Aren’t you delectable?” She holds a lengthy pause at Kai’s abs before shifting her view to you. “Come now, sister. You have a plane to catch.”
“Oh no no no.” Kai attempted to shut the door but Rebekah halted him from doing so, due to her being a much older vampire than he is.
You watched as everything unfolded. Kai grasped Rebekah’s arm. She yelped in pain, nearly sinking to the ground as Kai siphoned her. “Oh no you don’t, sucker.” Damon said through clenched teeth, standing. You knew he was going to try to separate the two, so you vampire sped towards the buffoons to avoid a bigger mess.
“That’s enough!” You shouted. Thankfully the heretic didn’t resist when you released his grip on the original. His chest rose and fell as if he’s consumed with power.
“So you two are working together huh? To get me to go to NOLA?” Your nostrils flared. It wasn’t difficult for you to figure it out.
“And Stefan.” Damon added. “But he’s on call.”
“But you, Damon. You’re on Rebekah’s side? Out of all people?”
“I have my reasons.” He shot a glare at Kai who is gazing at you.
Rebekah briskly grabbed your upper arm and vampire sped you to the hallway, closing the door on the way. “Really, Rebekah?”
“Please, Y/N. Please listen to me.” Rebekah said desperately and you took in a deep breath.
Kai appeared down the hall. “Y/N!” He shouted, concerned.
“Kai it’s fine. Go back inside.” You said. The heretic obeyed and allowed your privacy with the blonde. Your view shifted back to Rebekah. “I can’t go.”
“Honestly, if my family wasn’t desperate, I wouldn’t be here. Nik doesn’t know it yet, but he needs you right now.”
“Oh sure he does.” You spat in a disbelieving tone, pacing slowly.
“Yes it has been some time, dear sister. But my brother is in a very dark place right now and once upon a time…” Rebekah paused, softening her tone. “...you were his light.”
You stopped in your tracks and your eyes fell to the ground at Rebekah’s last line. You were his light. Happy memories with Klaus suddenly flashed before your eyes, nearly forgetting the heartache you went through. It has been quite some time, so you’re not hurting as much anymore. But a sprinkle of it still lingers inside of you.
“If I do this. If. Your family owes me.” You stated firmly, expression hardened. As much as you do not wish to be reunited with your ex lover, you know for a fact that Rebekah will not give up. And you don’t know if you’d be able to live with yourself if something terrible happens to Klaus from his fit of rage.
Rebekah’s eyes gleamed, intoxicated with joy. “Of course, sister. We’ll happily be in your eternal debt.”
