A/N: 07/22/2017 Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry I took so long posting another chapter, life's been hectic for me lately and I just haven't felt like writing. Having car troubles and Chester Bennington's death really put a damper on my mood, especially since I bought Linkin Park tickets and now their tour is cancelled :(

This one's short, but I thought it was too cute to scrap.

Dare to be Something More: That's a fantastic idea! I hadn't thought of following up on it but now I think I should! Thanks for the suggestion! Kai does in fact leave the house, but only with supervision. He's kind of like a little kid that constantly needs to be looked after, either by Caroline or someone else (I.e, Bonnie or Damon). I actually do have a couple chapters I'm working on where they go out and do something together, but they're not finished yet. I'll definitely be brainstorming on a Carenzo fic! I love those two!

57jellybean57: Yeah, jealous Kai is an awesome Kai ;) Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

CandyJMF: Aw thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter so much! :D Yeah Carenzo fics are hard to find, even harder to find completed (I still have yet to find one). I actually read on twitter that Carenzo WAS going to happen canonically in the show, but that fans 'wanted it too much' so they went in the Steroline direction. Which I think is just plain ridiculous. Like seriously, why would you diss fans like that and not give them what they want? But, whatever. We can still fantasize :P

Dark Goddess2000: Omg thanks! Really makes me happy knowing that you love these things I write so much lol. Hope you like this chapter as well, even though it's short :)

Chapter eleven: Your Mom

"Hey, do we have milk?" Caroline asked, opening the fridge.

Kai didn't look up from his phone as he sat on the couch. "I don't know, but I bet your mom has milk."

She shot him a death glare but it went unheeded. She closed the refrigerator door and huffed. "Well, apparently not, so I guess I'm gonna have to run out and get some."

"Your mom had to run out and get some, too," Kai smirked, still looking at his phone.

Caroline looked at him, clearly fed up. "Um, no she didn't, because my mom's dead. Now stop. Talking."

Kai scrolled a bit more on his phone, finally looking up and saying, "Your mom wanted me to stop talking, too."

"Okay, you know what, that's it!"

Patience gone, Caroline vamped over to him and snatched his phone away, scrolling through the web page he was on. Her jaw dropped at what she saw.

"'Best comebacks for every occasion'?"

"Yeah, I guess it is true what they say!" Kai chirped. "'Your mom' really is a comeback for everything!"

She glared. "You have one chance, one, to stop talking before I throttle you."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Your mom wanted me to throttle her last night."

"URRGHH! THAT IS IT!"

Tossing the phone aside, she lunged for him, his slow human muscles no match for her vampire speed. Kai barely had time to react before he was shoved against the wall, angry black eyes staring back at him as Caroline struggled to keep her cool.

"No wait, wait, I'm sorry!" He surrendered, eyes wide. "I shouldn't have done that, it was an insensitive thing to do and I am so- MOTUS!"

He thrust a hand in her face expecting flames or maybe a fireball to come shooting out at her, but nothing came. Of course he should have expected he'd need more magic than what little he had in his reserves for something that took so much energy.

Caroline's mouth fell open, shocked and angry that he would even try such a thing, and Kai could only avoid her gaze like a guilty child.

"Crap."

"Yeah," Caroline mocked, smiling mirthlessly. "Crap."

Needless to say, Kai slept outside that night.
