Summary - Kai kidnaps you and comes out with a surprising proposition!
You stand in your room in the Salvatore house looking in the mirror, adjusting the skirt you had decided to wear. Why exactly were you making so much effort for a date you really didn't want to go on? You weren't really sure, but here you were, all dressed up, makeup and hair done. Kai was picking you up in 10 minutes to go for a meal somewhere across town. You didn't particularly want to do this, but it was the only way to get Kai off your back, and hopefully try and get him to leave all your friends alone once and for all too.
As you stepped out of your room, you bump into Stefan. He smiles at you then his face turns to one of suspicion. "Anyone would think you're looking forward to this date. You look great y/n"
You smile back and your cheeks flush slightly. You've had a bit of a thing for Stefan for a while but he's definitely not interested in you as more than a friend.
"Thanks Stefan. Nah, I'm just looking forward to getting this over with!" You chuckle nervously.
Heading downstairs, you heard a knock on the door. They don't wait for someone to answer, just walk straight in. Kai. Of course.
"Mmmmm! I smell cupcakes! CHOCOLATE cupcakes!" His eyes are wide but he hasn't spotted you yet so you hang back a bit while he walks into the kitchen. He's his usual cocky self. Did you really expect anything else? You sigh to yourself, walking down the last few steps and heading into the kitchen. Kai is sat on the worktop rambling away, eating the icing off the top of a cupcake (which you had just finished icing earlier) with his finger. He didn't notice you at first, then when he did his whole demeanour changed. His face went from smirky and cocky to... you weren't even sure. Shy maybe? No of course not. This was Kai Parker.
He quickly jumped off the worktop, hiding the half eaten cupcake behind him. "Y/n. I...."
"Oh please. Don't stop on my behalf. I'm sure you were having an exciting conversation about spleens or something..." you roll your eyes walking into the room. He doesn't say anything for a few seconds, just looks at you. You spot Elena and Damon raising their eyebrows at each other to the side of you.
"You look... nice..." he mumbled, looking down at the floor while he speaks.
"Uh. Thanks." You reply. It's hard to know what to say because you've never seen Kai like this before. He's usually so confident and full of himself!
"So... are we going?" You ask him, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah. Yeah. Let's go." He replies, walking past you and towards the front door. You glance over at Elena and Damon who are giving you a look of confusion. You shrug your shoulders and follow after Kai.
When you get outside, he's already standing at his car, the passenger door open and him leaning back nonchalantly with a smug grin on his face. Maybe he wasn't so different you chuckle to yourself, rolling your eyes. You climb into the seat and he crouches down to close the door.
"Thankyou Kai." You say with a soft smile. He smiles back.
"You're welcome y/n" and he shuts the door, jogging round to the drivers side and jumping in.
As he pulls away his eyes are fixed on the road ahead and he's biting nervously on his bottom lip. You glance over at him a few times, trying to figure him out. One minute he's his usual cocky self, the next it's almost as if he's worried about messing up. You shake the thought out of your head as you know for a fact Kai Parker couldn't give a crap how you feel about him.
"So...." you start to say. He's making you feel nervous now.
He carries on looking ahead but you can see a smile creeping onto his face.
"Where is it we're going?" You ask him. "What's the restaurant?"
"Actually..." he began. You put your head back and sigh. Of course. It wouldn't ever be straight forward with Kai.
"What Kai? What have you done?" You ask him firmly.
He looks over at you with an almost hurts expression on his face.
"Why do people always think I'm doing something bad? I was going to I say, it's not a restaurant. I've packed us a picnic to have by the lake." He mumbled quietly, but you heard everything he said.
"Oh..." you twiddled your thumbs for a few seconds. "Won't it be a bit... dark?" You question.
He chuckles. "You forget, you have a magical date y/n!" You let out a nervous giggle in response. This was going to be an interesting date to say the least...
