A/N: This is my first VD fanfiction so please go easy on me! I really appreciate all opinions whether they are good or bad, I appreciate the feedback. This story will mainly focus on Kol/Bonnie with little bits of Klaus/Caroline and some other pairings referenced in it. I have a lot planned for this so hopefully you guys like it!

I own nothing and did not come up with the wonderful idea of The Vampire Diaries, full credit goes to the rightful people in which it should. The only thing I came up with is the plot! Not everything is canon to the tv show, just so you know. In my story both Finn & Ester are dead and so is Alaric. Bonnie's mother decided not to complete the transition, Klaus is still alive, and Elena is still human. The Original family decided to stay together.

I'm on my way, be there soon - K

Bonnie Bennett let out breath she didn't know she was holding when she saw the reassuring text come up on her phone's screen. She didn't care how many times Elena came by to bring her a dinner, how many times Caroline insisted on putting makeup and doing her hair for her, or how many times Stefan would apologize on behave of him and his brother for her loss. There was only one person that could truly make her feel safe and at ease, and it killed not only her friends but his siblings to see him with her.

He was true to his words and before the girl knew it, there was a knock on her front door. He had been at her home multiple times before and could have just walked in if he wanted too but he never usually did. "Come in!" Bonnie called from her room upstairs, though she knew with his superhuman hearing he could hear her as if she was right in front of him. The petite brunette felt alone in the big house minus her father who was traveling India for business, leaving her alone once again.

Cold hands found there way to her neck, pushing away her thick hair and planting a small and soft kiss along her jawline. "Is he gone again?" He murmured against her skin, asking about her father while he controlled himself not to take a bite at her caramel colored skin. It took a lot of his willpower to subdue his usually physchotic ways for the witch.

Bonnie found herself nodding as she leaned into the strong build of the man behind her, breathing in the combination of his cologne and shampoo. "He's gone for the next two weeks," She spoke softly as she answered the man's words.

"I'll stay with you."

Bonnie twisted her body so she could look into the eyes of the man, giving him a small smile. "Thank you, Kol." She said softly, speaking the name of her unexpected savior. Today he wore a navy long sleeve shirt with dark washed jeans and tennis shoes, ditching his usually classy wardrobe for a more modern clothing choice. His dark hair was messy on top of his head and his grey eyes searched her face carefully.

"No need for thank you's, love." He said before sliding his warm hands around the girl's small waist and embracing her in a hug. Bonnie rested her head on his chest, listening to the slow and unnerving heartbeat coming from the man a thousand years old. It was odd to think they still had blood going through their veins and a beating heart, but yet, they were dead. Not aware that Kol was doing the same thing, he took slow intakes of breath (even though he didn't need too) as he waited for Bonnie's heart to slowly come back to its normal beating pattern.

The two stayed in that embrace for what seemed like forever before they finally let go of each other. Some point during the hug Bonnie had began to cry.

"Please don't cry, beautiful." Kol said softly, wiping away falling tears with his two thumbs as he held Bonnie's head in his hands. It was such a foreign thing for Kol; Compassion. He had taken the life of so many people with his two hands and here he was, being gentle and loving with a witch. Not just any witch, a Bennett. "I hate to see you cry."

"I'm sorry," Bonnie managed to croak out, offering him a broken smile. It was an effort, especially for her. Abbey had refused transition almost two weeks ago though the dark haired girl still felt numb to the core. Her friends didn't know how to handle her angst, so used to her being the one to put aside her feelings for the bigger picture. Kol was someone new who didn't care what his siblings thought but rather found himself caring for Bonnie, instead. They were two different people but somehow Bonnie couldn't help but seek comfort in it. "Will you stay with me tonight?"

Kol nodded even though he was sure Bonnie knew he would never leave her, especially when she was in a state like this. Kol kicked off his shoes and leaned against the bed pulling Bonnie along with him in a daze. He took her lilac comforter and pulled it over the two and before he knew it she had snuggled into his defined and almost indestructible body, resting her head near his heart.

"Shh, calm down and sleep. I promise to be here in the morning." Kol whispered endearingly to the girl he had only met a month ago, stroking her hair as she nodded into his chest. Her tears subsided and soon he could hear the steady breathing as sleep took over her. Kol found himself watching her before he too closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep. Kol had always been the outcast and one looked down upon in his family. His siblings could tell him all they want about how spending time with the Bennett witch wasn't what he was supposed to do; It felt right to him, so it must be right.

Sunlight peaked through the matching floral lilac blind coverings, spraying light all over Bonnie's room and on her sleeping form . Weakly, she opened her dark eyes and a frown soon found her lips as she noticed a missing Original vampire. He had promised, she though as she sat up in the bed. The girl was about to worry that he had left her to go be with his siblings or get his fix on blood before the mouthwatering smell of breakfast greeted her.

Throwing off her comforter she made her way downstairs, still in the black yoga pants and navy hoodie that she wore the night before. She was greeted with the site of Kol in her kitchen, placing piece after piece of bacon into the fryer pan. He wore a clean set of close making Bonnie conclude that he made a quick stop home for a shower.

"Morning," She said, feeling well rested from her full night of sleep. Occasionally she had nightmares of Abbey and Grams; Since Kol has been spending the nights they had stopped, thankfully. "This smells delicious." She commented as she found herself standing next to Kol.

"You smell delicious," She heard Kol murmur under his breath making a round of heat come to her cheeks. She sometimes forgot his true form, a vampire, and the fact that it sometimes was a struggle for Kol to be around her dealing with his blood lust. He looked sideways at her as he removed some pieces of bacon, giving her a toothy grin.

One of the things she loved about Kol was how young and oblivious he could be. He was Rebekah's twin and they were both turned at the age of 18, which she would be in a month. He didn't look quiet as mature as his other brothers but there was something about him that was so manly. Maybe it was how he stood at the towering height of 6 foot or his sophisticated dress code. He was still a child at heart though and completely and utterly reckless. She remembered the one time she had a discussion with Klaus and he had remarked Kol as 'a less smart more emotion based Ripper', comparing him to Stefan in his darker days.

"Are you feeling better from last night?"

"Much, thank you." She said, giving him a sheepish smile. He responded by shoving a piece of bacon in her mouth with she ate while giving him a dirty look. Like she said before, child.

"Let us eat, love." He said, turning to her with a plate full of bacon in one hand and a another with a bowl of scrambled eggs. He had made enough to feed his whole entire family and the two of them. Hopefully he was hungry.

Kol ended up being more than hungry and ended up eating most of the food while Bonnie only picked at her food. ("Please eat, you are getting so thin." Kol pleaded with her, forcing her to finish a whole plates worth of food to make him happy.) It made Bonnie happy to know that at least someone cared for her well being and not only Elena's. She knew it was a horrible thing to think but she couldn't help herself. It shouldn't all just be about her.

"What do you have today?" Kol asked casually as he leaned back in the chair, eyeing up the girl across from his.

"School, it's a half day." She said with an annoyed sigh.

"I'll drive you."

"I'll get ready, i'm going to go shower."

"Want me to join you?" He wiggled his eyebrows, his immature self breaking through.

"No," Bonnie said quickly, shoving him slightly as she passed him though her cheeks had flushed and judging by the wide smirk on his face, he saw.

A/N: Okay, so what did you think? I view Kol as very reckless and physchotic with a serial killer almost edge to him, but yet he is still a baby at heart who likes to joke around. Bonnie is going through a really rough time and Kol is helping her through it. Love it or hate it? You'll see more of the characters in the next chapter! Sorry for any mistakes, I think I got most of them but I can be wrong!
