Imagine meeting Kai at a ball and you get to know him, dance with him, and eventually end up in bed with him

"C'mon, Y/N, it'll be fun! And you know how I'm not a fan of fancy balls at all, so hearing that from me should mean something."

You rolled your eyes at Bonnie and scoffed, "It does mean something. That you're losing your mind. I'm not going - you know how Damon's parties are. He calls it a ball but it ends up being one of those events where he disappears to bang a random slut, while everyone else gets drunk and, or, high as fuck and make out with strangers. I don't want to be a part of that, alright?", making Bonnie roll her eyes as well. She crossed her arms, after moving her short hair away from her face, and gave you a look that you couldn't quite read, but it was obvious that she wasn't pleased with your attitude.

"I know how Damon's parties are. But I swear this isn't a party, this is a ball, and Damon has put effort and concentration into it and would want you to come. Besides, if you don't come with me then I'll have to go alone which would be really awkward", Bonnie explained, "so you have thirty minutes to put on your most gorgeous dress, and get your ass in the car."

You groaned, but knew that there was no way to get Bonnie to change her mind, so you agreed to go. You could leave without her knowing in the first five minutes anyway. So you watched Bonnie leave the room to give you peace, and then looked for a stunning dress to put on, which was an easy task. You had only one dress for the situation, and that was what you settled with.

After thirty minutes, your hair was done nicely, your face fixed from I just woke up to something presentable, and you were wearing a lovely gown for the ball. It made Bonnie smile happily as you entered her car and greeted her with a mean glare. You would have preferred spending your Saturday alone on your couch with a blanket, ice cream and your favorite movies. But no, Damon just had to throw a fucking ball which you were sure would turn into something more disgusting and intense in a short moment.

And that would be when you'd shove your middle finger to Bonnie's face, and say I told you so with a grin.

"This is stupid", you muttered, but Bonnie only laughed, while she started the car, and drove towards the Salvatore house.

You were surprised by some sophisticated, not-Damon-like music when you and Bonnie entered his and Stefan's home together. It really looked like Damon had put his effort into the event, and you couldn't help but feel proud of the man who you had always known as anything but one to arrange these kind of parties.

"Bon, Y/N, what a nice surprise. The food is right there, and the drinks are that way - but remember that this isn't the kind of party you're used to, so don't have too much to drink. Also, I have some new faces around here and you should get to know them. I gotta go now, though, Little Gilbert is a burden to bear but you know me, always taking responsibility and taking care of things like the adult I am", Damon explained when he found you two at his door. He rolled his eyes with a smile on his lips, and made you do the same while he gave you a quick hug and then sprinted elsewhere, probably to take care of Jeremy.

"Is Damon okay?", you laughed, and walked further in with Bonnie, who joined your laughter.

"I don't know, for real. But there's Matt - we had some stuff to talk about, so I'm going to go over there. But you know, you should do as Damon suggested and meet some new people, or you know, talk to Stefan... Or whatever", Bonnie said with a wink, and fled the situation to save herself from your ranting. She had always been supporting the idea of you and Stefan being together, but you didn't really feel like dating a vampire, even though he was hot and great and all that. But it was too much to deal with. You were fine with being friends with them.

There you stood then, all alone, awkwardly stumbling and scratching the back of your neck. You didn't know how to dance to the music either, but luckily, or not, the music changed from a slow dramatic song to something much more Damon-ish. As the song changed to a real party song, people cheered and lights started to flicker around the room and the mood changed completely.

Really, Damon? It had been five minutes, or less, and you already had the chance to tell Bonnie who was right on the party. Not her, for sure.

You looked for her, but you couldn't find her in the sea of people, though you did bump into a guy taller than you, wearing a black shirt and matching jeans and God, he smelled like heaven. You looked up at him, ready to apologize but when you saw his face, that was when your heart stopped beating for a moment and your brain melted and your legs weakened. He had a pair of the most stunning eyes ever, and his tempting lips were curved into a cheeky smirk, and his jaw and the skin around it was slightly covered with a sexy stubble. Damn, he stole your heart immediately.

You understood your hand was still on his stomach, which felt nicely worked on through his shirt, but you still quickly moved it away and obviously blushed. He kept on smiling, and you felt the need to bury yourself alive, but luckily he wasn't a jerk. He was quite charming, to be honest.

"Are you okay? Sorry, I totally did not mean to bump into you just to get an excuse to talk to you, since I definitely don't think you have a perfect and all that... But you know, stuff happens. Anyway, let me buy you a drink to make this awful mistake up to you?", he suggested with a flirtatious, though boyish smile which just messed with you, making your head spin.

"S-Sure. I'm Y/N", you mumbled, and managed to smile, even if it was weak and barely possible to notice but he seemed to see how you didn't mind his attempt to flirt with you, even though it was bad.

Guess that's what years in isolation does to a man.

"Kai. Kai Parker."

"So, your friend dragged you here against your will, because you knew Damon wouldn't be capable of throwing a party without music like this, drunk people and making out with strangers? And here you are now, living the hell you could see coming from a mile away?"

"Pretty much, yeah", you said and finished your third drink. Kai really seemed like a nice guy, he was funny and flirtatious and made you feel pretty and cool, by constantly complimenting you and telling you cheeky jokes. He listened to you too, and laughed with you, and let's not forget, he was so freaking hot.

"Well, I'm glad that she forced you to come", he winked at you, and made you blush for what seemed like the millionth time that night. Kai had an effect on you apparently, even though you had already learned that he was what most would call evil and the current villain of Mystic Falls, but he was at Damon's party with permission, so he couldn't be that bad. And you liked him anyway. He was incredible.

"Hey, do you wanna dance? I like this song", Kai suggested after a moment of silence. You lifted an eyebrow, surprised by Kai's taste in music but gave him your hand to take which he did, before leading you to the dance floor where he created some space for you by pushing a few fairly drunk people away. A giggle escaped your mouth, as you placed your head on Kai's shoulder. The song was rather slow and beautiful, so you found it proper, and luckily Kai didn't seem to mind. He held your hand, and caressed your hair as you moved, though barely, but did manage to wander around the floor.

And as you moved, everyone else seemed to give you space and let you dance while no one else really did. You knew Bonnie, and probably Matt, and Damon and Stefan and honestly all of your friends, were staring at you dancing with Kai Parker but you didn't care.

You hadn't danced like this with a guy in forever, and it was getting to you. You could feel tears burning your eyes, aching to slip out and roll down on your cheeks. You had missed this, though, being held by someone who did in fact care, and knowing that at the moment, everything was alright. And that you had definitely fallen in love.

When you agreed to go to the party with Bonnie, you did not expect finding love there.

After the song, you looked up at Kai who wiped away your tears while the others, even the drunk ones, clapped their hands. You felt awkward, but luckily, Kai could sense it.

"Want to get out of here?"

You and Kai stumbled inside your house, looking for a switch to flip to put on the lights. Your lips were attached, so it was hard to do anything since you were moving body to body, and all that you managed to flip was a table, but you didn't have time to worry about it.

With Kai still on you, you found your way to the bedroom where he started to undress you, but made sure he wouldn't break that gorgeous dress of yours. You yanked his jacket off, and his shirt followed behind, just like other pieces of clothing, leaving a messy pile on the floor. Kai pushed you down to the bed, and kissed you again, your lips connecting like they needed each other.

"Are you sure about this?", Kai breathed out, and you nodded quickly.

"Absolutely. Stop wasting time", you replied, and smirked, before things got heated.

And heated, meant very heated.
