"What are you doing?" Elijah said as Klaus entered the living room carrying a roll of ribbon.

The hybrid grinned. "I have found the solution to our problem, brother."

Kol arched a brow and sipped his drink. "What problem might that be?"

"How to show Y/N our appreciation for her help," Klaus answered which didn't clarify things for Kol at all.

"I find, 'thank you' usually works wonders," he insisted.

"Yes. So do gifts. And, baby brother, I know just what she wants." Klaus and Elijah shared a look that had Kol shifting in his seat. Just what were his brothers up to this time.

You were still staying with the Mikaelsons. You hadn't seen the point in going anywhere else as they were the ones you were here to visit. Today however you were taking a break and enjoying some time to yourself. You lounged on your bed reading a book by one of your favorite authors and enjoying the peace that solitude brought you.

Mid-afternoon there was a knock on your door. You placed your finger between the pages to keep your spot. "Come in."

Instead of opening the door, the knock came again. You rolled your eyes and sat the book face down on your bed.

"Yes?" you said as you opened the door. You stopped in surprise when you were greeted by Kol. Though you were certain him being dressed only in boxers and wrapped in ribbon tied in a bow that pinned his arms to his sides had more to do with that than anything else.

You grinned at the sight. Kol shifted slightly as pink dusted his cheeks. "Hello, Kol. What is this if I might ask?"

He cleared his throat. "It would appear that I am your thank you present, darling."

You hummed then grabbed the bow by its knot and pulled him into your room, slamming the door behind him.
