Imagine that you're an old love of Kol's and when you're brought back to life and he sees you at the Mikaelson ball he tries to get you to fall in love with him again

Being separated from the person you love the most is hard. Was hard. You experienced it. You went through it. But it wasn't as hard for you as it was for your true love. Because when you died, when your heart was torn out of your chest, the last thing you heard, saw, and thought about was Kol Mikaelson, and it lasted for only seconds, but Kol had to live with the agonizing pain that came with your death for years. Until he was daggered, and put into a box for decades, but still, the memory of you lived in his mind and in his heart and he was quite certain he'd never let go of it.

You and Kol fell in love in the early 1900s, when he was briefly undaggered behind Klaus' back, though as soon as the villainous brother found out, he locked Kol back in the box he came from. But he had enough time to meet you, the lovely, fascinating Y/N Y/LN and he fell in love instantly. You felt the same way, and it overwhelmed the both of you to the point where you were intensely making out on the first night you met. It was fierce love at the first sight, and it burned hot and wild until your heart was removed from your body, and you fell to your death.

It was a tragic story that haunted the Mikaelsons even with the other half dead and the other half locked in a coffin with a dagger in his chest, but it was the thing Rebekah thought of when she was about to lose her hope on love or men in general. It was the thing that Elijah thought of, every single day, and the thing he used against Klaus when he was ranting hard at him. The epic love story, and it was burned to ashes, just like that.

Elijah and Rebekah eventually decided that you had to be brought back, with the help of some powerful witches. And Mystic Falls, where they were residing, had a great witch, Bonnie Bennett, and used her to perform a big spell. It was challenging, and everyone hated the Mikaelsons for using their precious Bennett witch for something as difficult as bringing an old vampire back, but she succeeded, and you were welcomed to the present day.

"Y/N, oh how I have missed you", was the first thing you heard after over a century, but you were glad it was that instead of something awful. You had no memories of any kind, except your name and some of your history, but you couldn't recognize the blonde girl hugging you, nor the handsome gentleman in a suit behind her.

With your vampire skills, you pushed Rebekah off of you, and sprinted elsewhere, but stayed near enough to talk to them. You gave them a scared, confused look, not understanding why these strangers were all over you and your expression caused Elijah to sigh, knowing what was up.

"She can't remember us", he grimaced, and kicked a chair to a wall, "where did that little witch go, I-", wanting to strangle Bonnie for not being good enough for the amazing, incredible Y/N. Rebekah held Elijah back though, and interrupted her brother's words to talk to you.

"Y/N, this is Elijah, and my name is Rebekah. You seem to have forgotten us", she frowned, "but I promise we'll get your memories back somehow. I also swear, that we are your friends and have no intentions to harm you, so please, if you'll just come with us, so we can offer you something to drink. I know you're hungry." Her explanation made you feel the thirst, the hunger, in you burn hotter and you understood that you did have cravings, you wanted blood, and badly.

You nodded, and let Rebekah lead you out of the place where you had been brought back to life. With excitement tingling in the two siblings, they took you to their house, where they had a lot to tell you.

Weeks after coming back to life, you were pretty sure you knew Rebekah and Elijah. No memory of Kol resided in you, though, and none of the Mikaelsons had talked to you about him, not before he'd be awake and able to explain and see you. Klaus welcomed you as well, but he wasn't willing to wake Kol up, which meant Rebekah or Elijah had to do it, and that wouldn't be a problem. Klaus knew what had happened between you and Kol, but he expected everything to be fine since you didn't remember him at all.

The Mikaelsons decided to celebrate your return by throwing a ball as soon as you had adjusted to the life you had to live now. You quickly learned the ways of today, and updated your clothes and hair, and in no time you could have been mistaken as a person born not more than twenty years ago.

Elijah was quite excited because of the party, because that was also going to be night Kol would be brought back.

When the night arrived, you were wearing the most beautiful dress ever, given to you by Klaus, although Elijah was your date just so you wouldn't have to be alone. He did like you, though he knew that Kol adored you, which was why he kept his paws off of you and stayed in the friendzone, as much as he would have liked to pursue his relationship with you. Either way, with Elijah, you walked into the room and turned the heads of pretty much everyone.

The whole Mystic Falls was excited to see the legendary Y/N.

As you and Elijah danced, Kol happened to arrive, with Rebekah. He looked around the room, to see what kind of people Mystic Falls was packed with nowadays, but one spotted out especially. You. Kol dropped his drink, but Rebekah had expected this kind of reaction so she managed to catch it with her quick reflexes. She smirked, and looked at her brother, who was amazed by the sight.

"Is that...", he croaked out after a long while of pure silence. The song ended, and Elijah let you go when he saw Kol from the corner of his eye, and told you he was going to get you two drinks, but in reality he had no intentions of coming back to you. He and Rebekah had planned the whole evening nicely.

"Y/N. Yes. Me and Elijah, and Bonnie Bennett, we succeeded on bringing her back to life. Now, she didn't remember us, so there's a chance she might not recognize you either, but I'm counting on the true love you two had, and still hopefully have. Go now, Elijah ditched her and she seems to have trouble with being all alone", Rebekah explained to Kol, who was absolutely astonished at the fact his one true love was actually there. Alive. And looking better than ever.

He was on the verge of tears, but instead of breaking down completely, he thanked Rebekah and left her to see you closely. He nervously walked to you, not sure how to begin, so he ended up stuttering whenever he was close enough for you to hear.

"U-uh, Y/N? Y-you look beautiful...", he murmured, awkward and uncertain, absolutely everything he wasn't used to be.

He thought he saw a fond loving look in your eyes, but then you happened to knit your eyebrows together and give him a confused look. His faint smile died down, and you looked around to see Elijah or Rebekah, but none of them were there for you to reach. So you turned back to Kol, who looked like a stranger to you, and cleared your throat.

"I'm sorry... Do I know you?", you asked carefully. You had a feeling that Rebekah and Elijah hadn't told you everything, or about everyone, and an uncomfortable feeling kicked you as you bit your lips and looked at the new, though handsome face in front of you.

"Ye-Yes, Y/N- I'm your, uh... We used to be in love before you died", he said sadly, "I'm Kol." His face dropped and his heart sank - he couldn't believe that his soulmate couldn't recognize him. After everything the two of you had been through. But he did know that magic and spells came with downsides, and this was definitely one. So he tried his best at not feeling so disappointed, after all, you were there still, and he could make you like him again.

"Oh", you breathed out, "I'm sorry I don't remember you. Are you a friend of Rebekah and Elijah's?", and tried to smile but it was hard. You couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be in his place, so you wanted to comfort him, but you didn't know how. You didn't know this person. Even though you apparently used to, and quite well, too.

"I'm their brother", Kol whispered and looked down at his feet, not feeling like being at the party anymore. Although he was happy that you had returned, now he couldn't give you an incredible kiss or hold you the way he wanted to or tell you how much he had missed you and get a similar answer for you.

"Well, would you like to dance with me?", you asked, causing his eyes to light up and his head to go up and down rapidly as he nodded. He took your hand, and pulled you to the dance floor where he took a good hold of you. You started to move with him, and together you danced, while most people watched in awe. Two legendary lovers, reunited. Though the other couldn't feel the love she used to. But Kol was determined to bring your feelings back.

"So, like I already said, you look dashing. And you still know how to dance, darling", he started and gazed into your eyes. You blushed slightly, and thanked him, before complimenting his looks as well. He was charming, and handsome, and a good dancer - you could see why you fell in love with him once. And you were quite sure you could feel that way again.

"There was this one time, when you and I danced outside, in the middle of the night. You woke me up, told me that you were having trouble with sleeping so I took you to the garden where we slow danced under the stars, in the middle of the roses which I think were your favorite flower", Kol explained, and looked at you with glassy eyes. You could feel your eyes filling with tears, although you could not remember the memory like he did, it was beautiful. You could imagine yourself doing that, and with him, so it felt true and real and you knew he wasn't telling you lies.

"It became a habit, actually. It was our little secret. When everyone else would be in their bedrooms, you and I danced in the dark night. You used to sing to me, you said we'd make music when there was nothing else to play... And I loved your voice. I still do", he continued, "I love your eyes too, and your smile, and everything about you, frankly. I love you, Y/N."

You inhaled deeply, and placed your head on his shoulder while you listened to his beautiful voice. He was telling you stories, and honestly, you were hoping that one of them could snap something inside you and you'd suddenly remember him and all the things you used to do.

"I love you, and even if you don't love me right now, I promise that I will make you fall in love with me eventually. I will never let you go, I will never give up on you or on this love. You're my everything, Y/N", he whispered and held you tightly. You cried quietly, it was so emotional and messy and soppy you felt like you were going to melt and your heart was going to burst. You liked Kol a lot so far. He was clearly in love with you, and god, you wished so deeply that you'd feel the same way.

"'Cause I'm with you...", he started, but he didn't have to finish. Because suddenly, you remembered. That was it. That was what triggered your memories. You lifted your head, and looked into his eyes.

"'Til the end of the line", you whispered.

A smile took over his lips and he started to cry too, how was he supposed to not? You remembered, you really did. Completely in the haze of the moment, you placed your lips on his and kissed him for the first time in ages, and it felt so perfect. So perfect.

You loved Kol, and he loved you. And that was how it had always been, and was going to always be.
