A/N Hi, everyone!

I've never written Finn as the main character before so please bear with me. I honestly do think that if Esther hadn't returned in 3x13, he would have come around because he wasn't so bad in the flashbacks I've seen in The Originals.

Chapter lengths will sometimes be short, but I hope that doesn't matter to you.

If you don't like the idea of this story, please don't leave a review because it's cruel to leave hate if the author has already warned you.

Anyway, I hope you like this.

How To Love

.

"I am like the winter, cold, lonely, and dead on the inside.

Strong winds warp my thoughts, and I feel like I can't breathe.

You are like the summer, warm, beautiful and bright.

You're the sun that slowly rises and calms the storm inside my head."

"You are beautiful, darling."

Kol smirked as he gazed into a pair of brown eyes that made his heart race."I've never seen such beauty. It's like you were sculpted my the man below himself."

The youngest Original brother chuckled as he turned away from the mirror, letting out a long yawn, running a hand through his tangled hair as he left the bathroom. He, like Elijah had demanded due to him wanting to 'save the world', shut off the light on his way before he stepped out into the long hallway that held the bedrooms of each sibling.

He yawned once again, scratching at his bare chest as he stumbled down the hallway.

"Bloody bladder at three in the bloody morning!"

The Original's bare feet hitting the wooden floor was the only sound in the hallway along with his yawning. He had spent the first month out of his coffin in strip clubs, dodgy bars, and charming women along the way.

He adored the new century.

Kol smacked his lips as he reached his bedroom that was next to Finn's and, just as he was about to open his door, Finn's door opened.

Kol got the shock of his life.

His tired eyes widened as a pretty blonde, aged about twenty, silently stepped out of Finn's bedroom and made her way towards the bathroom Kol had just come out of.

Kol's lips parted in shock, and he mumbled."Bloody hell!"

She failed to notice him as she tip-toed, dressed in a black shirt, clearly Finn's, that reached just above mid-thigh.

The Original almost fainted as he caught sight of blonde again just before she entered the bathroom.

Kol's mouth remained open as he looked from the bathroom door to Finn's door.

He shook his head, chuckling. It couldn't be Finn.

He was half sure that Finn was still a virgin. He was also sure that Finn couldn't breathe the same air as a girl like that let alone talk her into his bed.

But Elijah had purposely placed Finn next to Kol because his elder brother was the only one who had the patience to deal with the randy noises coming from Kol's room.

Kol rubbed his eyes and pinched himself, sure that he was dreaming.

No, he was awake.

He stepped back into the shadows as the blonde came out of the bathroom, once again tip-toeing down the hall and back into Finn's bedroom. Kol went to follow her, to see if it led to another reality, but the door was shut in his face, almost hitting his nose.

Kol frowned, shaking his head."Is she lost?"

The Original suddenly felt the need to wake everyone up.

He turned left and right, torn between his sister, Klaus, and Elijah.

It was breaking news.

Kol moved quickly, knocking rapidly on Klaus' door, trying to keep it quiet so that it wouldn't disturb Finn.

"Nik!"

He almost burst down the door when he got no response.

"Nik!"Kol hissed, now slamming the door with his palm."Get your hybrid arse out of that bloody-"

Kol almost fell into the room as the door was yanked open and appeared a groggy Klaus, running his fingers through his tangled curls. He cleared his throat as he glared at his brother, looking ready to attack the younger Original as he raised his eyebrows. His hybrid brother, like Kol, wore boxers and his fangs bare, just in case he had to fight.

Klaus rolled his eyes when he noticed his brother, human features coming forward. "What the bloody hell do you want?"

Kol looked left and right, whispering."Let me in!"

"Excuse me?"

Kol rolled his eyes, stepping closer, whispering again."Let me in!"

"Oh, Kol, you're a thousand years old!"Klaus groaned, crossing his arms and leaning against his doorframe."I'm sure you can handle your nightmares now. If not, go to Elijah, he, unlike me, gives a damn."

Klaus yawned as he turned back and began to walk into his bedroom but Kol suddenly grabbed his brother, yanking him out.

"Kol-"

"Finn has a woman in his room!"

Klaus suddenly woke up, and his eyes went wide."What?"

"Finn has a woman in his room!"

"When you say woman..."

"A woman!"Kol hissed, making wild gestures to with his hands."Blonde, big blue eyes, long legs...legs that probably can wrap-"

"Kol!"

"Huh?"Kol snapped out of his daze, clearing his throat before he just said."She's a woman. She's not chained up, so I'm sure she's here of her own free will."

Klaus opened his mouth and closed it for a few moments, at a loss for words before he finally spoke.

"You're telling me that our boring, snobbish, prudish elder brother, who I'm sure has never even noticed a woman's bosom, has a woman in his room?"

Kol nodded, looking just as shocked as Klaus.

Klaus stepped closer, hands on his brother's shoulders."Tell me everything."

Finn had to admit; Mystic Falls was beautiful at night.

It wasn't as crowded as it was during the day and he preferred to be alone at these times. Sometimes he would wake up in hot sweats, convinced that he was still locked in the box that he had called home for nine hundred years.

He still hated Klaus but, over the past month, the hate, while it was still there, had subsided slightly. He had come to see that his family, despite their immortal existence and bloodthirsty ways, still acted like family. They bickered and fought like they had a thousand years before and Finn had trouble holding onto the hate.

He was nowhere near forgiving Klaus, but as long as he was surrounded by the rest of his siblings, he could tolerate the bastard.

Finn's thoughts were broken into when he heard a loud scream.

He turned his head to see a large man dragging a young blonde with him into an alleyway.

"You know you want me, babe."

He pushed her against the wall, a hungry look in his eyes, and it wasn't for blood. Finn watched as the man pushed the young blonde girl against the wall with his hips, hands running down her arms before they grasped her hips.

His knee forced it's way between her legs, making her scrunch up her face in disgust.

Finn felt anger build up inside of him. People like that were nothing but scum.

"Get away from me-"

She punched at his shoulders, trying to push him away.

The blonde haired girl shouted at the man, seeking to get his hands off of her hips."GET OFF OF ME!"

The man laughed, hand coming up and cupping her soft cheek with his hand while the other traveled down her dress in an attempt to bunch it up around her hips. The blonde haired woman bit down on her lower lip to stop herself from sobbing as his forehead rested against her cheekbone as he tried to reach underneath her dress.

"Excuse me!"Finn shouted, his calmness breaking for a moment as he crossed the street."Let go of her!"

The man paused, only for a moment, and turned to look at them, a harsh smirk on his lips."Get your own bitch! This one is mine!"

He turned back to the woman who was still trying to push him off. She opened her mouth to plead for help, but the man cupped his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet while his other hand continued to try and make it's way under her skirt.

Her eyes went wide, tears filling them and she began to shake.

Finn swallowed.

He was a noble man, but he didn't like hurting people either.

The Original's eyes widened as he eyed the man's finger's itch towards the young woman's upper thigh and he shook his head. Everything between wrong and right rushed from his mind as he flashed forward. He grabbed the man by the arm, yanking him away from the shaking blonde.

"Hey!"The man shouted, almost tripping over his own feet."Let go of me!"

Finn kneed the man in the ribs, snapping his wrists before he tossed him aside, leaving him in writhing pain on the ground. The woman watched, eyes wide and lips parted, unsure of how it had happened.

He flashed forward, catching her before she fell and he picked her up in his arms.

She jumped, scared but he looked down at her, hushing her.

"I'm not gonna hurt you."

She, as if sensing he was telling the truth, didn't fight as he held her to him.

The Next Morning

"You're kidding?"

"Nope!"Kol hummed, popping the third letter, sitting down across from his siblings at the breakfast table."I saw her with my own two eyes coming out of Finn's room and going back in."

"Are you sure that she isn't one of your little pets who have gotten free?"

Kol rolled his eyes, grabbing his fork."No. I take very good care of my pets, thank you very much."

Elijah sighed, shaking his head at Rebekah and Kol's bickering. He asked Klaus if Kol's story was true and the hybrid backed up his little brother.

"It's not like Finn."

"He's changed. He's been locked in a box for over nine hundred years; he's got to get laid sometime!"

"Rebekah!"Elijah shook his head at his sister, tutting."That's enough. I will not have that kind of-"

Kol tapped the table, shutting up his siblings."Shhh! He's coming!"

They all went silent as Finn entered the room, dressed neatly as usual and he sat down at the head of the table, across from Elijah, grabbing the newspaper.

Rebekah smiled widely at her brother."Morning, Finn!"

Rebekah was the only one who ever said good morning to him and, just as he opened his mouth to return the greeting, his brothers chimed in.

Elijah, Klaus, and Kol smiled at Finn widely, Kol winking cheekily."Morning, big brother!"

Finn frowned, utterly confused by his brothers' excitement. His brothers were smiling at him, Kol and Klaus looking especially happy as they stared at their brother.

Finn offered his brothers a small smile, nodding."Good morning."

"Sleep well, Finn?"Klaus asked, taking a sip of his tea.

Finn just nodded, looking down at the paper.

Kol then spoke up, also asking a question."Sweet dreams?"

Finn glanced up at the paper, glancing at Kol with another nod."Yes, thank you."

"Ah, don't lie to us, brother!"Kol smiled, nodding before he asked."You sure nothing made you toss and turn?"

Everyone, even Elijah, burst out in sniggers. Elijah hid his smile behind his cup, but his shaking shoulders told everyone that he was laughing. Rebekah giggled loudly, slumping against Klaus who was chuckling along with Kol.

Finn frowned again, confused."What's so funny?"

"All right, that enough!"Elijah firmly said, and everyone went quiet before the second eldest brother turned to Finn."Kol saw your lady friend sneaking out of your bedroom early this morning."

Finn's eyes went wide, and his calm composure broke for a second before he gathered himself."Excuse me?"

"Leggy blonde? Big blue eyes?"Kol spoke, digging into his bacon."She's got a butterfly tattoo on her ankle?"

Finn spluttered, shaking his head wildly."I wouldn't know!"

Klaus smirked, patting his eldest brother on the shoulder, proudly.

"Oh, don't be so modest, brother!"Klaus chuckled, cup in his hands."It's about time you put those Mikaelson charms to good use."

Kol nodded in agreement, also patting his brother."You're finally one of us now!"

"Don't listen to them, Finn."Rebekah smiled at her brother, patting his hand."I'm sure you'll treat her well. Kol and Nik are nothing but pigs."

Klaus and Kol opened their mouths to defend themselves, but they paused at the sound of feet hitting marble.

Each Original looked up to see the woman in question walking into the room.

She smiled at them, hands behind her back."Good morning?"

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it!
