The only thing Kol can think about is Jeremy, he can't get the brat out of his head. They've been back to that park every day this week and Kol still hasn't been able to dispose of Jeremy. It's ridiculous. Everyday instead of acting like the vampire he is and using a baseball bat as a weapon to kill the boy, Kol smiles and laughs and uses the baseball bat to well, play baseball. It's embarrassing. Take yesterday for instance. There Kol is with a perfectly solid baseball in his hand and all he has to do is put a little extra effort into his pitch and it'll knock Jeremy's head clean off. But instead of following through with that brilliant idea Kol sends a wicked curve ball Jeremy's way and Jeremy manages to smash it out of the park. And even Kol has to admit it was an impressive hit.
"Kol, what's that sappy smile all about?" Rebekah asks with amusement.
Sappy smile? What's she talking about? Schooling his features into a scowl, Kol replies, "I don't know what you're talking about." Rebekah's grin widens and she looks to Elijah who's clearly amused as well.
"That's not the worst of it Rebekah," Elijah says to her, pretending Kol isn't standing right in front of them, "I heard him singing to himself." Now that, Kol knows is a blatant lie, he would never do such a thing. Whistle maybe, but sing? Never.
"I was not," Kol says defensively, but they are both looking at him like they don't believe a word of it. Clearly they are both enjoying this and it's pissing Kol off.
"You know Elijah," Rebekah says, making a show of it an infuriating way.
"What's that Rebekah?" Elijah replies, playing along with her.
"I think our darling brother Kol is in love." They both turn and grin at Kol in that shit-stirring way siblings do. But Kol doesn't react to those challenging grins. Two words are bouncing around in his head, getting louder and louder and he may just have a full-blown panic attack. His blood turns to ice and his head is spinning. In love. In love? In love? It's not possible. Is it? Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
Kol can hear someone saying his name and slowly he realises it's Rebekah. He manages to focus on her and she looks worried.
"Kol, are you ok? We're sorry, we were just mucking around." Oh God, what if they're right? Weakly he manages to ask, "do you really think so?"
"Umm," Rebekah seems hesitant to answer and looks to Elijah for help. Elijah shrugs, and with a scowl for him Rebekah turns back to Kol.
"Relax Kol, it's not a like it's werewolf bite, it's just love." That doesn't help
"It's worse than a wolf bite. At least Nick's blood would cure a bite. But this..."
"Really Kol, now who's being dramatic?" Rebekah says, a hint of amusement back in her voice. "It can't be that bad, who is she?"
She? If only it were that simple. Why couldn't he have fallen for a nice, murderous vampire girl? Someone like Rebekah or Katherine? But nooooo, he had to fall for a stupid, annoying mortal boy. Life really sucks sometimes.
AN: I'm an Aussie, which means I know basically nothing about baseball. If I've written something silly or you think it could be better, please PM me. Thanks for reading.
