AN: First up this is a sequel. If you don't read Unsettling first you will have no idea what's going on here. Like Unsettling this story is borderline crack, though this one probably tends to stray a little closer to the edge. Just a warning that there will be swearing, violence, slash, incest and any other cool stuff like that I can think of. If any of that offends you than this isn't the right story for you. Also I fear some Aussie slang creeps into this story, sorry if it confuses anyone. I figured it was ok because Claire Holt and Nate Buzz are Aussies. I also wanted to let you know that because I can never decide who I ship in Vampire Diaries there are a few shake ups in the pairings from Unsettling. Of course Kol and Jeremy are meant to be but if you really liked any of the other pairings you might wanna think twice before you read this. One last thing, unlike Unsettling the POV jumps around a little in this fic. With what I've written so far, there are a few chapters from inside Jeremy's head and one from Nick as well. Thanks for reading.
Kol's keeping his promise to Jeremy. It's Jeremy's second game for the school team and like last time, he's smashing them out of the park. But unlike last time there's a bit more of a crowd here. Word got around after the last game about the new player on the team and more people have shown up to the game to see what all the fuss was about. And Jeremy isn't disappointing them.
Mystic Falls wins thanks to their new hitter. Now Kol's got half an hour to kill while Jeremy packs his gear up and celebrates with his team mates; it's a good time to feed. Lately Kol's had a thing for blonde chicks, chubby ones. Kol finds a suitable victim and lures her to a dark corner. He feeds from her wrist and it's frustrating because he knows he has to let her go. It's been quite a while since he's killed and he's just itching to take a life. But Kol refrains and lets the girl go. He lets her go because he doesn't want unnecessary attention that could cause trouble for him, or more importantly, for Jeremy. Kol compels her to forget, it should work, he's been practising after that whole business with 'the kiss'. It's just a matter of focus, that's all. He needs to be one hundred percent committed to the idea he's compelling. No doubts, no distractions, no wandering thoughts.

"Nice work Jeremy," Kol tells him when they meet up to go back to Jeremy's place. "You'll be playing in the Majors in no time."
"Yeah right," Jeremy laughs, "it's only a school game."
"But you've won both. It's the first time Mystic Falls has had a winning streak in four seasons."
"Two games is hardly a winning streak."
"Of course it is," Kol says. "I can see it now 'Jeremy Gilbert star hitter'. You and A-Rod," Kol finishes with a grin.
"It would be cool," Jeremy admits.
"More than cool," Kol says, anticipating the awesomeness of it. "It'd be epic and I know you could do it," Kol says taking Jeremy's hand. He really truly believes Jeremy can do this, if Jeremy wants it bad enough. Jeremy's gonna be famous one day. There's more than one way to obtain immortality.
AN: I couldn't resist throwing in that While You Were Sleeping reference :)
