Enjoy!


"Make sure you're not so rough with her, little brother." Klaus placed his hand on Kol's shoulders while he was fixing his hair in the mirror.

"Yes.. yes. I know.. act like a human." Kol brought his hands up and pushed Klaus's hands off of his shoulders before resuming to tighten his tie. "It's not that I don't love spending time with women," Kol looked at himself one more time in the mirror before turning around to face his brother, "but you haven't told me the reason for all this."

Klaus opened his mouth, prepared to explain, but rolled his eyes when Kol continued to speak.

"And what exactly would I be getting out of this? You should be grateful for having such a helpful brother. I don't even know how this girl looks. Now that I think about it," Kol's gaze was positioned at the ceiling as he held up one finger, "ahh, it's gone. It was a really good point though."

"In due time, all will be revealed, Kol." Klaus said as he placed his hands behind his back.

"Yes, very well, Niklaus." Kol looked at his wristwatch. "Showtime." He smirked at his brother before heading towards the door. Right before exiting the room, he turned around with his hands in his pockets. "Wish me luck for the 'big date'?" He asked sarcastically.

"Do you honestly believe you'll need it?" Klaus raised an eyebrow at him.

"What can I say," Kol sighed. "The women adore me." He turned around and left Klaus alone. Once he was sure Kol had left the building, Klaus scoffed and took out his phone.

He spoke abruptly saying, "He's on his way," before hanging up.


1 day earlier

"I don't understand." Her brows furrowed in confusion.

"Leighton, this is what will make me happy," Klaus said as he cupped her cheeks and stared into her eyes. "You want me to be happy, don't you?"

"Yes, of course I do, Nik." She put her hands on top of the ones that cupped her cheeks and smiled.

"Then do this for me." Klaus removed his hands and went to sit down on a old brown couch. "I have big plans and Kol will only get in the way. Through thousands of years of being with him," Klaus tilted his head slightly and held up one his hands as if it was acting as a scale trying to balance something, "he was asleep for some of that time of course, but no matter." He waved his hand at the air. "I've learned a thing or two about him."

"Well shouldn't you know a bit more? He is your brother after all." Leighton asked as she joined the couch, sitting close to Klaus.

"My family likes to keep things private. It can be quite irritating, but if they didn't, then they would all be fools." Klaus leaned back on the couch.

"So what is it that you have learned about..Kol." The name was foreign to Leighton and knowing what Klaus had planned, it felt odd to say it.

"If he's bored, he likes to tag along with a sibling and create havoc and ruin things. But if he isn't bored, meaning he's distracted...with a woman," Klaus turned his head towards Leighton and raised his eyebrow as he smirked, "his priorities completely change. He's on a path of his own and could care less about my family. And that my dear, is where you come in."

"I see.." Leighton shifted uncomfortably.

"My dear, do not be nervous. It's what I want." He kissed her forehead gently.

"I will try." She sighed and let herself fall into Klaus's arms.

"Kol likes a chase, so be mysterious. And do not use that little trick of yours. Kol has been around witches for far too long to be fooled by some magic, even if its something different and foreign." He rubbed Leighton's hair continuously, like a mother would to soothe a child. "A little here and there to keep him interested should be fine, but nothing long term, my dear. Do you think you can do that for me?" Klaus grabbed her shoulders and held her an arms distance away as he looked into her eyes. "Have confidence in our little plan and tell no one, especially Kol, at least not yet." Klaus smiled as he watched Leighton nod her head slowly without hesitation.

"At times like these I wish compulsion worked on me." Leighton sadly looked at Klaus.

"My dear Leighton, believe me, neither of us want that." Klaus stood up and left Leighton's house, leaving her alone on the couch. She felt her phone buzz and pulled it out of her pocket. It was a text from Klaus telling her to get a good nights rest for the big date tomorrow.


Klaus left Leighton's house. A part of him wanted himself to feel bad for using her like that. He had been in Leighton's life since she was a young girl and he knew she was in love with him. She was exactly how he liked his followers, right in the palm of his hand, always waiting on him. Klaus shook the feeling off as he continued to walk down the road back to his house. He wanted to take in the fresh air instead of speeding home like he normally did.


NOW

LEIGHTON POV

I head a knock on the door. It must have been him. I checked my clock and saw that it read 5:00. He was right on time, while I was still in the process of getting ready. As I grabbed my shoes and jacket, I managed to put one heel on while still struggling with my jacket and the other shoe on the way to the door. I opened it and slipped the second shoe on right afterwards. When I looked up to greet him, I noticed him looking at my body.

"Where do you think you're looking?" I asked slightly defensively as I put the rest of my jacket on to cover myself. Kol met his gaze with mine and smirked.

"There isn't much to look at." Kol shrugged and crossed his arms. My mouth opened slightly, but I quickly closed it with a cough. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Uh... come.. come in." I managed to spit out. Did he really just say that? He walked into my house, slightly shoving me on his way past me instead of walking around.

"Quaint." He circled around the room and made his way back to me.

"Thanks.." I replied awkwardly.

"I'm doing this for Klaus. You're not exactly my type so lets just get this over with and tell Klaus what a wonderful time we had together. Sound good?" He looked at me, a constant smirk stuck on his face. What. a. jerk. Luckily, I was doing this for Klaus too.

"Fine. Let me just finish getting ready." I shoved past him and went to my room. I heard him scoff. Good. When I walked up to the mirror I stared at myself. My glasses were still on and I had no makeup. I sighed. I promised Klaus to distract Kol. If only I had a warning about his personality.. I put in my contacts and began to do my makeup, making sure to take my sweet time. He could wait.

After 30 minutes, I had finished with everything and looked at myself one more time before heading back out to Kol. He was sitting on my couch, very similar to how Klaus sat. He was reading one of the books my friend had left on my table from last time she spent the night. Oh no..

"What are you doing?" I rushed over to him and tried to snatch the book out of his hands but he held it over my head, just out of my reach.

"Well, well, well. Quite the naughty little thing, aren't you? And this line in particular is highlighted. How thorough of you. It certainly adds a pop of color to these '50 shades of Grey'. Shall I read it out loud?" Kol cleared his throat and continued to raise the book higher as I jumped up to try and take it from him.

Kol began to read, "He grabbed my.." Before he could finish, I placed my hand over his mouth, causing only mumbled sounds to come from him. With his other hand he tried to remove my own from covering his mouth and we both put up a struggle. We shuffled around the room until we bumped into the coffee table and tripped, landing on the ground. Kol hand landed on his back with me on top of him. I opened my eyes around the same time that he did and after a second of processing what exactly had happened, I realized that our lips were touching.


let me know what you think :)
