KAI PARKER X READER
SUNSHINE
Hi, Emma!First of all, your writing is gorgeous. Second, can you write an imagine where the reader is really shy and kinda like the sunshine of the group; she has a big crush on Kai and everyone can see it and Kai finds it adorable. Thank you, love! 💗

Yellow ribbons strung down from the ceiling like rainfall, soft party music thumping quietly through the room, guests clad in pastel colors. It was Caroline’s get together, so obviously she’d planned the entire thing, so the usually darkish red feel of the Salvatore home looked like a unicorn had thrown up all over the place. The smell of homemade cookies wafted throughout the house, pink balloons in every corner, guests pouring in through the front door by the minute. The gang sat huddled around the living room, chatter echoing around their little group, broken by the sound of the ringing doorbell.
“I got it!” the girl jumped up at once, a hopeful look on her face.
“Expecting someone?” Elena cocked her head with raised brows.
“Pshh, no,” the girl waved her hand, unable to hide the warmth growing in her cheeks.
She skipped across the wooden floors, tripping on her high heels as she stumbled for the doorknob. Her fingers locked around it, pulling the wooden frame open to reveal exactly who she’d hoped to see.
“Hi,” she giggled giddily, pulling Kai Parker into the house.
“Hi,” he smiled back, that grin sending her heart into overdrive. He spun around so that the girl’s back was forced into the door, his blue eyes devouring her up.
“Kai?” she asked, chewing at her lip when he didn’t say anything.
“Mmm,” he said, eyes flickering back up to hers, “couldn’t help myself,” he shrugged.
“Oh,” she blushed furiously, looking over her pastel blue dress, which hugged at her hips, her feet snug in the flowery white heels she wore, hair falling in a perfect halo around her pretty face.
“Where’s your color?” she asked, nudging Kai’s front playfully. He wore a black blazer over white shirt, paired with the usual ripped skinnies, brown hair pushed up into that cute little do.
“I don’t do colorful,” he snickered, stepping aside, “plus, I wouldn’t want to take any of the attention away from you,” he winked.
She laughed as they entered the living room, every head around the table raised to look at the two as they walked over in sync towards the group. The girl went to sit by Kai, but Caroline grabbed her wrist and forced her away before she had the chance, false smile plastered to her lips. They were playing some kind of board game, and usually she would have been all for it, but today she only had eyes for the heretic, who kept beaming at her from the other side of the oak table.
“Ugh, stop that,” Caroline hissed under her breath.
“Stop what?” she said, snapping from her trance.
“Stop with the heart eyes, I’m gonna puke.”
“You can tell?!”
“Everyone can,” Elena whispered from beside her.
Kai looked up at the girl, who shielded her face with embarrassment, Kai raising a brow at Caroline and Elena, who guarded either side of his girl.
“Come on, you can do better than him,” Elena said, brown eyes giving a roll. “You’re an innocent little sweetheart, and he’s...” Elena drifted off as Kai absentmindedly hexed one of the board game pieces into having a seizure.
“You’re gonna lecture me on good guys? Look at who you’re dating,” she scoffed.
Damon coughed and brought his piercing eyes up to hers from over the table, “I can hear that, you know.”
“Sorry,” she stuttered instantly, “you know I don’t mean it that way.”
“None taken,” he laughed. “I actually enjoy watching you get all hot and heavy over your crush,” he sang aloud so the whole room could hear.
Everything went quiet, movement freezing, awkward silence strung thick in the air. The girl buried her face in her arms to avoid looking at Malachai Parker, who’s full lips were twitching with amusement.
“Uh, who wants to go next?” Stefan cleared his throat as she pulled herself up and bolted out of the room and around the wall.
“Damon!” Elena scolded him with a shake of her head.
“Sorry,” he said, not sounding even a little sorry.
The girl was out the front door in seconds, heading into the garden and sinking down onto a patch of green grass under the shade of a low hanging tree. She lay her head back onto the bark, legs stretched over the lawn, eyes only blinking open when she felt Kai’s presence beside her.
“Hey,” he tried with a smile.
“Hi,” she said, eyes forward.
“If it makes you feel better, I lit Damon on fire after you left.”
“What?!” she gasped in shock, turning her head to look at Kai.
He gave a snort, “kidding. But I will, if you want me to, princess.”
“No, it’s-just-it’s okay,” she sighed, tucking her knees into her chest.
“Hey, hey,” Kai cooed, offering her a hand and pulling her to her feet.
“I’m sorry about, that...” she trailed off, unable to hold the heretic’s intense gaze.
“Don’t apologize,” he said, fingers crawling under her chin and bringing her head to his, “it’s adorable.”
“What?” she stammered.
He chuckled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ears, lips splitting into a grin, “I like you liking me.”
“Oh?” she asked, heart racing.
The sunlight skimmed through the tree branches and danced across his face, illuminating his perfectly defined features.
“You get all, you know,” he smiled, licking his lips, “flustered.”
“I do not!” she laughed.
“Mm?” he said, trailing the back of his hand down her cheek, silver rings grazing her flesh. She shivered under his touch, goosebumps jumping to her skin as she dipped her head to the side.
“That’s what I thought,” he smirked.
“Kai-” she began, but he’d already hoisted his arms under her thighs, scooping the girl up into his arms and locking her firmly in place against his chest. Her hands instinctively flew around his neck as he began to twirl her around, her vision blurring as the world spun under his feet, unable to restrain their chortles of laughter.
“You literally swept me off my feet, Malachai Parker,” she giggled as he came to stop, still holding her there, enjoying the feeling of her legs straddling him.
“Did you not want me to?” he challenged, letting her go for a brief second, scooping her back up as she yelped in surprise.
“No, I did, I mean I do, I mean I-” she shook her head as she tripped over her words.
Kai snickered, blue eyes drawn to her lips, “god, I want to eat you up.”
“So what’s stopping you?”
She’d said it without thinking, instantly freezing over as her words settled in.
Kai arched an eyebrow, cocking his head to the side, “wasn’t expecting that.”
“Why? Because I’m-”
“The good girl,” he finished.
She nodded, brushing her fingers lightly through Kai’s hair, “yeah.”
“You’re like sunshine, sweetheart. You can’t enter any room without bringing that light about with you,” he babbled affectionately. “I’d feel bad, like I’m corrupting you or something,” he said, lips bent.
The setting sun set orange flares across their faces, a heavy tension settling between the two.
“Well, where there’s sunshine, there’s gotta be a little darkness, right?” she murmured.
Kai bent into her mouth, their noses touching, breath fanning across her parted lips.
“Yeah?” he breathed huskily, blue eyes boring into her own, his lips starving and begging to be devoured.
“Yeah,” she said, closing the gap between them as her lips went crashing into Kai’s, hands grabbing at his hair as her back went slamming into the tree he pushed her against, a groan escaping her lips. One taste was all she needed to be addicted to Malachai Parker, his mouth like nicotine she craved, their lips in a constant battle together, bodies entwined, hands never knowing where to travel first. And so they kissed, light and darkness forever trapped in the fleeting embrace of one another.
