The Vampire Diaries

"Ah cute." Olivia laughed.

---

"Yeah, okay."

Adam narrowed his eyes at her then, "Not cute. How is it cute?"

---

Astrid just smiled.

"Seems I found a soft point." Olivia mused. "You don't like being called cute and I don't like being called a dinosaur."

---

"Can I go to bed then?"

"I don't like being called it because I'm not cute." Adam replied with a shake of his head, getting to his feet and getting them both more drinks.

---

"Mhm, if you want to. If your tired."

Adrian nodded and headed upstairs.

---

"Yeah you are, blue eyes, floppy hair, all you need to do is sing and you'll be as much of an icon as your uncle Henrik."

He sat himself down and pushed a drink over to her as he had some of his own. "I'm going to cut my hair then, if my hair makes me 'cute'. Anyway, if I ever try to sing, cats might die, so I'd never be like him." He laughed.

---

"Sweet dreams, Rian."

"I don't dream." Adrian mumbled before heading up.

---

"Autotune baby, autotune. I guarantee you your uncle used it."

"Cars are my thing, not all that musical stuff." Adam laughed with a shake of his head. "I'm going to cut my hair now though, definitely."

---

Astrid grimaced at that, sighing softly before snuggling into Kol.

"All the girls you've likely got on your arm are sure to run away at that."

---

Kol wrapped an arm around her.

"I haven't got that many, actually… despite what people think." Adam laughed, "I don't go out much, mostly at the garage and you don't see many there, and whenever my work friends go out clubbing something comes up or mum gets protective and doesn't let me go incase anything happens. Anyway, wouldn't want to be with a girl who not likes me because of my hair style."

---

"What would you like to do tomorrow?" Astrid asked Kol quietly.

"Sleep, drink..."

---

Olivia chuckled at that. "Well when you find someone I'm sure she'll love you for more than your hair."

Astrid frowned deeply and shook her head, "No, pretty boy… you know drinking'll make it worse, you don't want to drink really." she whispered, lifting her hand up to rest on the side of his face. "We'll get an early night tonight, do something fun tomorrow…. Normal."

---

"Not according to you," He laughed.

"What do I know? I'm an old ancient alone dinosaur."

---

"Normal? What's normal?"

"Something we're going to pretend to be for a day." She replied with a soft laugh, brushing her fingertips through his hair and whispered, "If we can get over this, and you can come out of it still sober, I will be so, so proud of you."

---

"Na, your not."

"Mm, I don't think I can manage that."

---

"I am, same age as your dad."

"You can, pretty boy," She whispered gently, "You have stronger will power than you think you do. I believe in you."

---

"There are older people around."

"Like who?"

---

"Have very little will power."

"More than you think you do," Astrid whispered before adding light- heartedly, "Especially when I am looking over your shoulder to stop you."

---

"Finn."

Kol just rolled his eyes.

---

"Mm, by a few years."

"Everything'll be alright…" She whispered, leaning up to press her lips to his.

---

"Exactly."

"I've lived longer than him, and your father. I never spent any time in a coffin."

---

Kol kissed her back softly.

"Ah lighten up, it's not like you look or act or are a withered old hag so…" Adam shrugged, downing the rest of his drink and humming, "I think your beautiful."

---

She slowly deepened the kiss then.

"I think you're drunk." Olivia laughed.

"Mhmm," He hummed with a shrug. "Tellin' the truth though."

Kol matched it.

---

"You're voicing what you think I want to hear. I doubt you truly think I'm beautiful."
