Imagine being a shy, innocent person and Kol always protects you

"Gosh, why are you always so shy? Why won't you talk more? C'mon, Y/N, it's not that bad. Have some fun once in a while. Don't be so boring. C'mon!"

These kind of things you had to live with. All day long, you were teased about your shy personality. But you just weren't one to insult everyone shamelessly, and laugh out loud, or drink and party recklessly. You liked to live in your daydreams, and read books, and cuddle and calm down after a long day. Some people just didn't seem to get that.

So it was very odd and out of picture that you found your heart in the hands of the complete opposite of you. Kol Mikaelson, who was a flirtatious, cheeky asshole, and a reckless brat, succeeded on stealing your heart, when he walked into the room and flashed that breath-taking smile and looked at you approvingly. You first met him at the Mikaelson ball, and starting from that night, he was the only thing you could think about. You were absolutely hooked, and desperately in love, but luckily he had feelings for you too.

After two dates that you forced him to instead of just hooking up and seeing how it goes from there, he asked you to be his, so he could tell all the other guys flirting with you that you had a boyfriend, and brag about how he was dating the most stunning, incredible girl in Mystic Falls. Or in the whole world, really. He was head over heels for you, and his cocky self started to crash down as he fell deeper and deeper in love, but he was still Kol Mikaelson, although a little bit fluffier.

He was also a major cuddler, which you loved incredibly much. He was your soulmate, really. He didn't mind you being so shy, either. He sometimes mentioned it, but it was fond and you didn't mind it. Though he was often praising you for all the traits you had in you, and adoring your appearance and making sure you felt loved, instead of teasing you about your shyness and your innocence. He even stopped killing people so much and being so ruthless, when he figured out that you were too much of an angel to stand the sight of blood and guts and death.

You were so innocent, he loved it. You were his very own princess.

But just because he treated you nicely, it didn't mean everyone did. Though every time someone called you with mean names or made fun of your personality or looks, Kol made sure the world had one less rude jerk. He didn't kill anyone, although he would have wanted to, but with compulsion or just his plain terrifying side, he'd scare your bullies away and make sure you were protected and happy no matter what.

"I am not too fond of ice cream, darling, but if you like it, then very well. I hope you enjoy strawberry flavored, because I got these for us, sugar." Kol had taken you out for ice cream, although he didn't understand what was so special about it - it was cold, and weird and if you wanted to taste something good then there was a billion other choices. But ice cream, he just did not get it.

He loved to see you smile so brightly and have a nice day, though, so once in a while he took you out to see a movie he would never in a million years see if it wasn't for you, or for ice cream, like today. It was a sunny, beautiful day, August had just begun and summer was at it's greatest point. You loved to get ice cream, or go swimming on hot days like these, and with Kol, it was all even better.

"Hey, look, it's the innocent sweet little angel of Mystic Falls!", someone yelled, and when you looked up, you saw a group of guys. The three of them walked to you and Kol, and grinned. "Is this your little boyfriend? I wonder how the two of you work in the bedroom. Aren't you scared that you'll break her? Or is she actually really kinky and dirty?", they continued, looking at Kol who smashed his ice cream out of pure anger, leaving pink liquid running down his hand after he had dropped the pieces of waffle down to the ground.

He jumped up, and grabbed the guy who was making fun of you by his collar, really furious at them for mocking you and invading your privacy like that. You shivered and quietly ate your ice cream as you looked at Kol threaten the guys. You didn't like violence, but you did love Kol too much to care about this, especially when he was doing it for you.

And honestly, a part of you wanted to attack these jerks.

"Listen to me closely, mate. You better quit talking about my girlfriend like that, or I will shove your teeth down your throat. She's perfect, everything about her is bloody precious and I will not allow you talking to her so disrespectfully. I cannot just let blockheads like you ruin my princess. So how about you turn around, and go right back to where you came from, pal", Kol growled, burning hot with fury. He hated idiots like those three right there, and wanted to kick their ass, but just for you, he tried to keep the situation non-violent.

He used compulsion to get rid of the guys, and you felt immensely grateful because of that. You kissed Kol when he sat down on the bench again, next to you, and you took his hand happily.

"I love you. Thank you, for everything you do for me", you whispered, and smiled at him. Kol smiled as well, and kissed the top of your nose softly.

"Well, at least I don't have to eat that disgusting ice cream anymore", he responded, and glanced at the crumbs on the ground, earning a giggle from you. And Christ, how much loved that giggle.
