Imagine Kol compelling you to forget him so you can live a normal life but he comes back, wanting you back

 The understatement of the year: being in love with Kol Mikaelson was hard.

 You had learned the hard way, that loving an Original, and the bratty, cheeky, flirtatious one, was a hardship but you had fallen for him so deeply, thoroughly and profoundly there was no way squirming out of it. You loved all about him though, and he loved you back and therefore you were in a happy relationship but it was dangerous, no doubt of it. For Kol, you'd go through hard gray rock, do anything for him, and it worked the other way around but your life was often at risk. It wasn't just Kol's fault though, it was the consequence of living in the knowledge of your hometown being full of supernatural beings and being friends with them.

 Kol was good at keeping you safe, luckily. But he was afraid, just like everyone else, that on one day he wouldn't. And therefore, after almost a year of hot sex, loving kisses, patching each other up and being utterly in love, Kol confronted you with bad news.

 "Darling, this has to stop", he stated coldly, surprising you. You and him had just fought some nasty hybrids and your side had been torn open, and Kol gladly healed you but he couldn't always be there. One day, he wouldn't, and you'd die.

 "What has to stop? Me being injured so often? I have a simple solution to that - turn me. I want to be a vampire anyway, I can't see why you won't do it", you replied and put on a shirt before walking to Kol with confident steps. He sighed, and shook his head before placing a hand on your cheek and looking into your eyes, deeply, intensely - in a way you had seen him use before, but never on you.

 "No, Y/N. I don't think that's the way. You'd still be in danger. But I have a way you'd be safe, you could live a normal life, Y/N...", Kol mumbled and gave you an apologetic, but sincere look. You shook your head, knowing what he was talking about, and to avoid his intentions you pulled away from him and started to walk towards another room. Before you could quite reach the door, Kol sprinted in front of you and he had his hold back on you, threatening to compel you, and sadly, you knew he would.

 "I love you, darling, but I cannot see you waste your life on me. On this world that you may never be a part of. I don't want you to lose the possibility of having children, a real future, love. Forgive me, but this is for your own best, my dear Y/N", Kol apologized and placed a kiss on your forehead, softly, gently. Then, he cupped your face again and forced his gaze into your eyes, "I will leave town and when I do, you will forget about me. You won't know anything about the supernatural. You'll live a normal, happy life without me. You will only remember me if I ever come back and tell you to", compelling you for the first time in forever. A tear slipped out from the corner of his eyes as the words left his mouth so smoothly, his accent endearing as always but suddenly you didn't recognize it anymore. It didn't feel and sound as epic and thrilling as it used to.

 "Goodbye, my darling. Perhaps one day we will meet again", Kol said, and placed a kiss on your forehead before flashing out of the room, and soon, out of the town, causing all of your memories of him to wash away as well.

 Empty gaps victoriously ruled your mind now, seeing your best memories were created with Kol. He was a big part of your life but he tore that away from you - for your own safety of course, but if you only remembered what he had done, you'd give him a good old slap across the face. You were perfectly capable of surviving, but he seemed to disagree and fled town with his family. But you couldn't even be sad about it, because you had no memories with him in them. It was like he never talked to you, kissed you, held you. It was as if you never witnessed his existence.

 Kol dealt with the situation quite well. He forced his family to go with him, and he compelled everyone to not talk about him to you even if their memories remained otherwise. It was just you, who didn't know about the Mikaelson or the Originals, or anything supernatural. You were just Y/N Y/L/N, living a normal life like Kol had wished you to.

 You moved on quickly, because there was nothing to hold you back. There were no memories to represent chains on you, to keep you from continuing your life and living it without Kol in it. It was easy for you, but it was tough for Kol, and for your friends, to see how happy you were even if it wasn't your own choice. But you and Kol had so much, you were deeply in love and you did tons of things together, and you had grown to be such an epic couple, even your friends approved your relationship. And they hated to see you throw all that away, even if you didn't know you were doing so.

 "Y/N...", Caroline mumbled on one day though, placing hand on your shoulder and causing you to turn over to her with a happy smile. But it didn't match her expression, if anything, Caroline looked sad and upset and it made you frown in worry. For weeks now, all of your friends seemed somewhat sad over something and you didn't know why, they wouldn't tell either and it both irritated and concerned you. But now it seemed like Caroline was on the brink of telling why.

 And yes, she was about to confess everything to you, because she had been having secret meetings with Klaus and he had compelled her to tell you the truth about Kol, and the Mikaelsons, and the vampires and the supernatural in general. Klaus loved you, though not like Kol did, and he wanted you both to just be together again and therefore he had broken his brother's compulsion on Caroline.

  "Uh, I... There's something I need to tell you", she started, giving you a careful smile while moving away her blonde curls. You got ready, believing that whatever she'd throw in your face, you could handle it.

 But you were wrong.

 After an hour in Mystic Grill, with her rambling about this and that about werewolves and witches and your epic love for Kol, which had been taken away from you with freaking mind compulsion, you were sitting with tears in your eyes. Crying, silently just being there, existing and breathing, you tried to comprehend all the new, yet old information and deal with the sudden anger that you felt towards Kol. A name you had heard before, said before, loved before - and now could not recognize.

 "You and Kol were... relationship goals, more or less. Even his psycho brother agrees, Y/N. Apparently he has some big plan to force Kol back here so you two can be reunited", Caroline spoke, trying to make you understand her point, which you did but didn't agree.

 "You and Klaus, are you together, then?", you asked to drift the conversation away from you and your lost love. It made you fairly uncomfortable, in fact you hated it, how you had been so in love but it had been torn from you. How secrets and bonds had been taken from your hands. Sure you understood that Kol was trying to protect you, or whatever, but you were mad nonetheless - you knew you could be strong and brave just like Bonnie, or Caroline, or even Elena. But no, this guy had forced you to forget about freaking vampires, that included he himself, and even your best friend Caroline.

 "Doesn't matter. What matters is you and--", Caroline said while blushing, but you interrupted her.

 "I don't want anything to do with Kol. I believe you, Care, I believe every word but that's exactly why I don't want him. If we had this legendary love, why did he take it from me? Maybe he wanted to get away from me and used the want to protect me as an excuse... Or something. My point is - I don't love him anymore, and that's all his fault and I don't want to be the one forced to fix it. I want him to stay away from me", you shot and gave Caroline a glare. You loved her, but right now you were too annoyed to remain calm with even her. You got up from your seat, and stormed out of the Mystic Grill, suddenly wanting to mope in your bed for the rest of the night and block everyone out.

 As you walked out of the hangout, you heard Caroline beg for you to stay and hear more but you didn't. You fled the place, and the situation, and made your way to your own house while crying, and laughing. You just heard that you lived amongst vampires, werewolves, witches, doppelgängers, hunters and once, even a hybrid and the thing you were most upset about? Losing your boyfriend. But how were you supposed to feel otherwise?

 You opened your front door and while grunting to yourself, you shut it loudly and then started to walk towards your bedroom but before you could, you were stopped by a handsome stranger in front of you. He had a bouquet of the most red roses you had ever seen, and on his lips was a boyish, charming smile while his alluring eyes looked at you fondly. It took you only seconds to pick up the pieces and realize that this was the infamous Kol Mikaelson, and it earned a scoff from you as you walked past him, refusing to take the flowers.

 "Love", he breathed out, "do you recognize me?", knowing what his brother had done. You nodded your head, then shook it, before turning over to him and giving him a cold, unhappy stare. But while you remained mad, Kol let out a dreamy sigh, realizing how truly in love he was with you even if he had tried to fight it. He didn't come back just because Klaus pushed him to it - he came back, because he was hopelessly, foolishly in love with you and he needed and wanted you and couldn't possibly stay away.

"I do. But I don't. I know you're Kol Mikaelson, I know who your family is and I know what you are. But I don't recognize you. You know why? Because apparently, you took the right to erase my memory", you spat, earning a surprised, sad look from Kol. He had expected another kind of reaction from you, but then again, he knew what kind of a girl you were - he knew better than anyone - and therefore perhaps it wasn't so surprising after all.

 "I did, yes. And I am truly sorry for doing that, darling. I love you, and I only did it for your own protection, you must believe me. I wouldn't stand seeing you get harmed because of this insane of a world", Kol sighed, and walked to you, handing the flowers while giving you a fond, caring look that managed to both break and melt your heart but you still tried to stay strong. Even though it was one hell of a gorgeous look.

 "So if you did it for my protection, why are you here now?", you asked while crossing your arms, after wiping your eyes. You didn't want to cry in front of him, but seeing the man you once loved, made you emotional to say the least. He was handsome, and seemed to care about you, and you could easily see why you had been in love with him. Oh, how you hoped that you could still be.

 "Because I have come to realize that the best protection for you is me by your side, my darling. I love you too much to let go, and somewhere deep inside, you love me too. I can prove it", he said, and sprinted to you, smacking your bodies together. He tossed the flowers away, and while holding you in an intense embrace by swinging one arm around your waist and placing one hand on your cheek, he stared into your eyes like he had done not so long ago.

 "You remember now. You remember me, and everything we ever had or did", he whispered, his voice thick and thrilling as he spoke. A sudden gasp rose from you, when images began flooding into your mind, reminding you of who Kol was to you, and how it got that way and what you had experienced together. It was quite amazing, and just like that, all the anger in you was gone and replaced with love, like with magic.

 "I do, yeah", you let out, and before Kol had time to say anything else, you pushed your fingers through his hair and pulled him lower to place your mouth on his. The first kiss in ages - and it felt good. You closed your eyes, and let him walk you towards the counter where you leaned then as your lips moved together so perfectly, like you remembered.

 "Don't you dare compel me again", you breathed out when the kiss broke, "I love you and I never want to feel otherwise", happy to know, remember and feel it all again.

 And Kol promised to never do so again. And so, you were able to live happily together, and that also made Klaus very happy.
