A/N Hi everyone! Here is another new story that has been on my mind for a long time and I hope you all like it. love Josh, he's so funny and cute, and I want him to find some love, so I came up with this.
I changed a few things. There is no prophesy, but the Mikaelson family is torn over Klaus and Elijah's arguments. Also, Kol is back from the dead.
This story is about two men, and there will be some sexual themes between them, so this is a warning. If you don't like it, please don't leave a review or read it because it's not nice to hate on something when I've already told you not to read it if you don't like it.
I hope you like it.
Salvation Of The Selfish
.
.
You were the love of my life, the darkness, the light
This is a portrait of the tortured you and I
Is this the, is this the, is this the end?

"You're kidding, right?"
"I'm afraid not, brother,"Freya said with a sigh, showing just how exhausted she was.
"Hayley tried to take the baby from Nik?"
"Yes."
"Oh, that silly girl had it coming to her. Nik kills if someone takes the last cookie from the jar, believe me, I've seen it. Taking what he holds most dear? That's just asking to be killed."
Alek Mikaelson stretched as he got out of his bed and wandered into his front room, snapping his fingers as he did which turned the lights on. He leant down and grabbed a small remote and clicked a few buttons which opened the curtains attached to the large windows. He smiled to himself as the light appeared in his penthouse and tossed the remote onto the couch.
"What about Nik and Elijah?"
"Working together but our brothers are still at odds. The only thing that bonds them together is the child."
"They'll work it out, Freya, they always do. Whatever Nik does, however horrid, Elijah always forgives him."
He yawned as he made his way over to the sliding doors that led to the balcony and opened the doors. He stepped outside, breathing in fresh air.
"I don't think so."
"You haven't been stuck with them for over a thousand years, sister."Alek said as he leant against the railing, looking down at the people passing by."They always make up."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."He replied firmly, running a hand through his tangled hair."The strongest bond in the world is family and, while Elijah felt for Gia and resents Nik for what he did to Hayley, he would rather himself burn in hell before any harm came to our hybrid dick of a brother. He knows deep down that what Niklaus did was out of fear. Fear of losing his daughter."
"I guess you may be right."
He chuckled, running his fingers along the railing."I'm always right. The two will be as thick as thieves again before you know it; I give you my word."
"How about you give it in person?"
"I don't know about that."
"Brother-"
"Freya, we've been over this."He singsonged as he walked back into the penthouse."The entire world has forgotten about me. They think that I'm just a myth, a legend, the monster underneath their bed, the sixth Original that may or not be nothing but a mere scary story. I like being safe, why should I- "
"For your family."
He sighed, shutting the doors behind him, and leant against them, rolling his eyes.
"While I adore my family, love, I refuse to risk myself."
"We need you, Alek, please!"
He opened his mouth to reply, but nothing came out, just a long breath.
"Brother? Why won't you come home?"
"Because I value my life."
Freya sighed, apparently upset with her brother which made him roll his eyes.
"Alekzander, your family need you. For once, in your life, can you do something for someone else? Your selfishness has gotten you nowhere. You have been selfish for one thousand years, standing in the shadows while your family stand alone."
"My selfishness is self-preservation."Alek hissed, sauntering over to his kitchen, jumping onto the counter."I like being immortal and untouchable, sister, and I don't want that to change. There are enemies willing to strike at Nik a-"
"I know, brother, but you must stand with us. We need you. The family, while reunited, is still broken, and I can't piece it back together by myself. Come home, brother, I implore you. If not for me than for Hope."
The youngest Mikaelson brother released a long breath, feet swinging back and forth, opening his mouth to reply but, before he could, a twenty-something man came wandering into the kitchen, dressing as he did.
Alek smirked at him, wiggling his fingers goodbye as the young man, who had several bite marks all over his body, began to leave as he pulled on his shirt. He hadn't been compelled to spend the night with Alek, the Original wasn't a monster, but he had been compelled to forget the bites.
While he didn't force them, they were merely blood and bodies to them.
They all merged into one as the years went on. If they earned his respect, they remained around for a while but, in the end, they meant nothing.
They were his to play with, to pleasure him and feed him.
They all knew the rules.
Mutter any word that was connected to a fondness for Alek they died.
"Alek?"
Alek jumped off of the counter as the door shut, landing on the ground gracefully.
"I'll be there by sundown."
Before Freya could praise him, he ended the call before he began to pack.
"Catch Hope, Dee Dee!"
Hope giggled as she, as fast as she could with her little legs, jogged around the compound, looking over her shoulder every few moments to see if Davina was chasing after her. The teenage witch made a show of chasing after the tribrid, a broad smile on her face as she moved quicker every few seconds, making Hope squeal loudly as she dodged Davina's hands.
"I'm gonna get you!"
Hope shook her head, looking over her shoulder again when Davina just missed her.
"Never!"
The hybrid witch was suddenly picked up into strong arms, and she pouted as Josh looked down at her, laughing as Hope whined.
Josh grinned."Josh wins!"
"You cheat!"
Josh shook his head, placing Hope down on her feet."You're a sore loser, mini-Klaus."
Hope, who had forgotten about Josh playing, just shrugged and returned to her play mat.
Davina and Josh, keeping an eye on the tribrid, made their way over to a nearby table.
"She's something, huh?"
Davina nodded with a small smile."Yep."
Josh and Davina watched as Hope played with her toys, babbling nonsense to herself.
Davina turned around, noticing Josh's sad smile as he looked around the compound, clearly remembering the times he'd spent with Aiden.
"How are you doing?"Davina looked over at her best friend, smiling softly."With Aiden?"
"I'm good...ish."Josh replied, watching Hope out of the corner of his eye."I'm going to miss him every day, but it's gotten easier now that I'm back with everyone. I'm immortal. I have to learn to deal with death someday."
"And now that I know it wasn't Klaus, it's easier to live here, so I don't have a constant reminder."
Davina nodded, an empathetic look on her face.
Josh, wanting to lighten things up, clapped his hands."So, you and Kol back together again? How is it living with the Addams family and looking at his Original face all the time?"
Davina smiled at the mention of her boyfriend."It's new living with the people who have tried to kill you, and you've tried to kill but Kol...he's still Kol, it doesn't matter what he looks like."
"But him being a major hottie makes it easier, yeah?"
The two best friends looked at each other, Josh waggling his eyebrows before they laughed.
Davina smiled, her laughter music to Josh's ears."Yeah, yeah, but don't tell him that."
"Oh, I won't, i've got him on Snapchat,"Josh shook his head, rolling his eyes."He really loves himself."
The two best friend laughed again, realizing just how much they'd missed each other.
Josh opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when Hope let out a squeal.
"Daddy!"
The two turned around to see Kol and Klaus making their way down the staircase.
And, as usual, they were bickering.
"Daddy!"Hope repeated, a broad smile on her face as she looked to her uncle."Kol!"
The two Mikaelson brothers smiled at the tribrid.
"Hello, love."
"There's my little darling."
Their smiles soon fell when they turned back to each other, glaring.
"It's not fair!"
"It doesn't have to be fair, little brother,"Klaus sighed as he made his way over to his daughter, picking her up."I am not taking a bloody selfie with you."
"Why?"Kol frowned, hands on his hips, clearly pouting."I know that you took one with everyone else that last Christmas. Why won't you take one with me?"
Klaus sighed, something he tended to do a lot around his brother."Because Rebekah forced me."
"You mean Bex has you wrapped around her little finger?"
Davina and Josh let out stifled laughs as Klaus' mouth opened and closed as he tried to think of a smart comeback, but instead, he just flashed his eyes at his youngest brother. Hope smiled, resting her head on her father's shoulder, chewing on her fingers as she watched her uncle and father glare at each other.
They all watched as the two wily Mikaelson brothers glowered at each other, daring the other to say something.
Then, Kol opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a familiar voice echoed throughout the compound.
"Third door to the left on the second floor, boys."
A few people wandered in, completely ignoring everyone else, carrying suitcases as they marched up the staircases. Klaus and Kol shared a confused look, utterly speechless as they watched the people follow orders, blank looks on their faces.
Klaus shook his head, swallowing."It can't be."
Davina frowned, looking up at them."What is it?"
Kol didn't answer as he followed Klaus' gaze to the entrance.
"It is."
All eyes turned to the entrance to see a young looking man, looks mirroring each of the Mikaelson brothers, and a smirk that reminded them of Klaus', as he sauntered in, dark shades covering his eyes.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my big brothers."
Davina and Josh's eyes widened, gazes flickering between the three Mikaelson's.
He grinned, a chuckle leaving him as he took off his shades, winking at the humans before his eyes turned to the other Originals.
"Long time, brothers. Miss me?"
