Today could not go any slower for the supernatural couple as tension in the house reached the fever pitch. His family arrived today for an undetermined amount of time. Kol found himself magically locked into a guest room more than twice this week. He had hoped to provide a more physical apology but his little witch had prevented it. It left him in an even more agitated state as he stormed into their bedroom that morning and saw her laying casually on her back reading a book. Bonnie glanced up for a moment briefly making eye contact with her fiancé. The more time they had spent with each other, the less words they required to express their feelings to each other. Kol threw his hands up and scoffed as Bonnie gave back a blank expression.

"It's not my fault." Kol said in a huff.

Bonnie gave no reply, only going back to reading. More surprised than upset, Kol's gaze lingered on Bonnie. The way her bangs fell in front of her face and how she looked in the morning light. It made him ache to possess her and to kiss her face which spiked his rage. Without saying another word, he stormed out of the room and slammed the door. A slew of curses flew out of his mouth as he reached for his phone in his back pocket.

A few moments later, she gave up her attempt to read and slammed her book down. She swallowed as she realized there was nothing she could do about the arriving family. She had agreed to live with him, to be with him yet the thought of the siblings being around her constantly was maddening. No matter what, it did bother her to see Kol so frustrated, she stared at the wall as she thought what to do.

Bonnie wouldn't call herself angry, angry didn't do her rage service. She had been breaking windows all day long as the countdown to the Mikealson Clan would arrival. Finn and Elijah were easy to deal with, they had manners their other two brothers lacked. Rebekah and Bonnie had gotten a little closer in the recent years but she had to admit she was afraid for her friend's sanity being cooped up with her brothers. Rebekah had apologized for the inconvenience yet had stayed mum on why they were coming back to Mystic Falls. Nothing frustrated her more than being kept out of the loop, it reminded her of those "people".

Mystic Falls had almost reverted to the pre-supernatural phase. It was refreshing to wake up and stroll through towns. Bodies were not found on a daily basis and the council was gone with a bit of her help. She loved this town like mother would love her daughter, all she wanted was the best for it. Now she felt as if the family were the horsemen of the apocalypse. With a shrug, she went to go find her sweetheart before she would be forced to share him.

"Goddamn it, Elijah. You can at least tell me why this has to be done. Do you know what it's like to live with an angry witch? I've been hiding from her like some..." Kol clutched the phone tighter and tighter as he heard Elijah's soft chuckle on the other end.

m "Weakling? I'll be arriving within the hour, I'm sure you can survive until then." Elijah chuckled as he hung up the phone.

Secrecy was never Kol's strong-suit, he liked the attention but Elijah was the epitome of the word. He had never even seen his brother truly feed as he thought is was too "uncouth".The secret must be great as he was gathering the family. They hadn't spent time with each other much after they were undaggered. So much had changed in the world, that they had scattered to the wind to explore it. It was sheer boredom that Kol had return to Mystic Falls to bother his older brother after he was freed and everyday he thanked fate for bringing him back.

Unconsciously Kol fiddled with his locket as he paced around the den. It was made of silver and dangled by an heavy chain. The silver chain loops were re-enforced as Kol could not risk being without it. The oval was smaller than his hand but bigger than more traditional types. Intricate latin words were etched all over the surface yet one word was large enough to read, "Dilectus". The latin word for Beloved. Inside contained a picture of Bonnie from one of their many vacations together, he had taken a picture of her sitting on a sand dune. He tinkered around with it more and more as they spent more time fighting than simple time together. Suddenly he felt a presence in the room and he turned around to see Bonnie standing in the room.

"When will they be here?" Bonnie asked as she crossed her arms. Kol made a dash to the other door to escape but Bonnie slammed the door shut. "Answer me or I start throwing knives"

"It's not nice to tease." Kol replied and began to walk slowly to Bonnie. Bonnie tilted her head slowly to the side and a sigh escaped her lips. It was clear that it was not the time for jokes so he began to rattle out the few details he knew.

"Okay, Okay. Elijah said an hour so that means exactly 57 minutes from now. Finn said he was waiting for Sage at the airport. Rebekah is your friend so I hope you know where she is and Klaus is Klaus. Now don't do anything drastic, my love. We have guests coming. We are happy couple, are we not?"

"Happy, yes yet I don't need my magic to see the future for myself. Dealing with all their little servants running around the house, blood stains, and the various parties they are bound to throw!"

Kol opened his mouth but before he could speak, Bonnie threw up arm and wagged her finger.

"Do not even try to fight this. Every freaking time you and your brothers get together, at least a room is completely destroyed."

Kol ran his hands through his hair and began to remember all the little get together they have had together.

"New's Year was a blast" he laughed.

"Don't even!" She glared at him. " I don't who is worse you or Klaus"

"Klaus. after all I am the most handsome of all"

The young original sped up to grab his witch into his arms. "Am I wrong?" he asked taking a strange amount of satisfaction from feeling her muscles relax.

She tried to pull back, startled by his touch. There was no denying that she loved him as she placed her head lightly on his chest. It was hard to be this angry for so long. "I'm sorry I'm being selfish" She sighed into his chest.

He kissed her on the top of her head and squeezed her tighter. "You can't make up lies about yourself. There is nothing selfish about anything you do. This is your home."

Bonnie felt the tension ease out of her body. In these moments he was everything she ever wanted. "I want it to stay that way"

"It will never change from that" he whispered into her ear. Bonnie only had to turn her head a bit to kiss the lips of her lover. As they separated a smile grew on each other's face until they heard a loud cough.

The moment she saw who it emanated from, a mumble of curses could be heard as she exited the room. Kol raised an eyebrow looking back over to his older brother. As soon as Klaus returned the look, Kol broke out in laughter. Klaus walked over and patted Kol on the shoulder.

"Careful, she may try to dagger us all." Klaus chuckled.
