Caroline is bored walking down the hall with Matt and Elena and Bonnie, talking some rubbish about celebrities and anything other than the dismal school that they are currently in. She notices one of the younger girls run into the girl's bathroom crying and instantly feels bad for her, knowing exactly what school can be like. She mumbles some excuse to leave the others and walks back the way they went.

She's nearing the door when Tyler Lockwood walks right in. She frowns as a couple of other guys from the football team walk in. She runs down, what the hell is going on? She hears Tyler taunting someone, and immediately realises he's picking on the girl.

She bursts through the door and scowls at the three over-muscly blokes in the overly pink toilets. The girl is sobbing silently, cornered to the sinks with a smirking Lockwood in front of her. He turns, blatantly checking out Caroline before meeting her eyes.

"Can I help you?" he asks in an irritatingly cocky voice. "Yeah, you can piss off out of the girl's, repeat girl's toilets, and leave this girl alone. What did she do to you? Look at you?" Caroline snaps, holding the door open and raising her eyebrows. "Oh, come on, Forbes," He shrugs, "Just having some fun." She watches him walk over to her and she grabs the front of his shirt, spinning them and pinning him against the wall.

"Get out," she orders the girl as Lockwood's followers grab her. The girl disappears and she's left with the three assholes alone. Shit! What do I do? "Like to play it rough, Forbes?" Tyler smirks, walking over to her. He grabs her hip and she grimaces, instantly bringing her knee to connect with his groin.

He groans, reeling back and holding himself as he bends forward in pain. "Bitch," he hisses before ordering his 'boys' to pin her against the sinks. Her back hits the wooden counter, arms held and legs pinned back with theirs. She tries in vain to get out of their grip, feeling useless beyond belief. "Fuck off, Lockwood!" She growls as he walks back over to her enraged. "No," he smirks back. There's something so off about him that she shivers and glares determinedly at him.

He's about to say something when the door bursts open. They turn to look as Matt and three other guys, along with Elena and Bonnie, walk in. She recognises Stefan, Elena's boyfriend, and Kol, Bonnie's boyfriend, but the other guy is a complete mystery. "What's going on?" Elena demands, about to step forward when Stefan puts a protective hand on her stomach and pushes her out of the way. Tyler looks at the new guys with narrowed eyes before training on Matt.

"Whats up, homo?" He barks, "I didn't think this would be your kind of problem, since you're not so into fucking girls." Caroline lunges forward, but is held back by the other guys, even though their looking at the scene warily. "Shut the fuck up, Lockwood," Caroline snarls. "Just because you can't get laid unless it's forced on the girl!" She notices Elena and Bonnie stare in disbelief and the mystery guy's hands ball up into fists before he speaks. "I'd advise you to let her go, mate," he says eerily calm, "Or you won't like what happens next."

Tyler scoffs, "Who do you think you are?" Caroline feels the hands on her loosen and she takes a chance. She pulls her right arm free, punching the guy on her left in the neck so he chokes. Her elbow recoils into the other guy's face and she grabs the counter behind her, sliding up before knocking them both to the ground.

"Klaus Mikaelson," he introduces, now pinning a very shocked Tyler against the wall. "And if I find that you've been doing anything like this to anyone again, then I won't hesitate to beat the fucking shit out of you, until you're within an inch of death," he hisses, "Are we clear?" Tyler nods frantically, spluttering once he's released.

Caroline walks over to Matt and he instantly brings her close to him, stroking her hair. "You okay?" She asks, looking up at him. He looks slightly amused, "You're asking if I'm okay? She nods, frowning in confusion and he simply shakes his head in disbelief. "Yes, Care, I'm fine," he smiles, "This is bound to happen... Are you okay?" She nods and rest her head on his chest. "I'm fine."

They're outside on the field three hours later; Elena and Stefan curled up together on the bench with Bonnie sat on Kol's lap beside them. Caroline is lay with her head on Matt's lap on the grass, her legs over Klaus' lazily.

"Care, Matt," Kol addresses, "Is it true that twins have a telepathic connection. Caroline and Matt laugh and he shakes his head as Caroline talks. "Yes, Kol," she smirks. "We were having a debate on the possibility to lure you away so Matt can turn you gay and you can both live happily ever after in the English countryside with lots of adopted kids and doggies." Kol rolls his eyes and she laughs loudly when she notices Matt scowling down at her.

"Sorry, Mattie," she mumbles. "Wouldn't be hard," Klaus suddenly proclaims, making them all look at him in confusion. "What?" He shrugs, looking at Kol's glare. "Some of the conversations you have with Rebekah aren't exactly the..."

"Straightest?" Caroline offers with a smile. He nods and Kol scoffs, Bonnie is biting her lip to hold back a laugh as Stefan, Matt and Elena snicker. "Just because I am straight," Kol claims, "Does not mean that I can not appreciate the attractiveness of another man." Klaus nods, "No, that is true. But, last night you said that you would, what was it?" He smirks, "Fuck the lights out of Hugh Jackman because in that wife-beater not even I can resist him." Klaus does a flawless impression of his younger brother and nobody (save for Kol) can hold back their laughter.

Caroline curls up in ball, complaining that laughing hurts as she sits up. She leans into Klaus, since he's the closest body now, and nobody seems to think anything of it when he puts his arm around her waist and continues to bring up times of Kol's not-so-straight-ness for Matt to confirm 'yep, that was kind of gay, Kol'.

"To be fair, I think anyone would fuck the light out of Hugh Jackman," Caroline eventually defends, "And Robert Downey Jr, Johnny Depp, Jospeh Morgan and Ian Somerhalder... Have you seen them!" She pretends to swoon and falls back onto Matt's chest, since he fell back laughing and never got back up. "I would," Elena and Bonnie agree in unison. "I think I would," Stefan shrugs, earning wide eyes from everyone. "What?" He asks defensively. "I definitely would," Caroline sighs. "Especially Joseph Morgan. That damn accent gets me going."

"TOO MUCH INFO!" Matt groans, covering his ears and making everyone else laugh. "Sorry, bro," she smiles, patting his leg. "But the guy is God," she sighs lovingly, staring off dramatically. "Klaus," Kol smirks, "You look a bit like him." Caroline moves onto her elbows and looks at him strategically as he smirks expectantly.

With his cropped golden curls and that damn stubble (that lets her know that, yes, he is older but not by too much); piercing deep blue eyes; those cheekbones and the stern jaw. "Yeah, you actually do," she admits after a moment of staring. Her eyes suddenly widen and she looks at Kol. "EW! Kol! You can't be gay for Joseph Morgan anymore, that'll be weird! He's off your list!" They laugh, but Klaus asks, "What list?"

She looks at him incredulously, as do Elena and Bonnie. "The list?" she repeats, "Of five people of the same gender you'd do if you could?" He looks at her amused and she huffs. "You are dull," she mutters. "What about me?" Matt asks, sounding hurt, "I'm only allowed five?" She laughs and shakes her head, "No, for you it's five women." He rolls his eyes, "Still don't swing that way," he teases. She sighs, giving up and turns to Klaus.

"You have a list, you just don't know it!" She warns with a jab to his chest. "Everyone does!" Amused by the curious girl, he nods, watching as she, Bonnie and Elena begin bickering about some celebrity. Kol, Stefan and Matt start talking about baseball and he watches them all with a small smile.

Only a few hours ago, he came to collect his brother. They heard from some first year that Matt's sister was in trouble and none of them thought anything other than to help her. Even Klaus, and he never met her. Kol had spoken highly of her though when at home, and he had been told she was pretty, alright and cool. Those were understatements. She was beautiful, even though she was only eighteen and therefore three years younger than him, she was smart and funny and so full of light that he forgot all his problems. That is until his phone begins to ring.

He pulls it out and gives Kol a blank look. Both of them rise, Klaus more reluctant than Kol since he had the blonde beauty practically sat on his lap by now. "Sorry, love," he shrugs, "Got to go." She nods and moves off him, opting to sit on Bonnie's lap teasingly, winking at her best friend. "Looks like I'm harassing you now, Bon," Caroline smirks. Bonnie rolls her eyes as Klaus and Matt chuckle.

Kol and Klaus are in the car on their way home. It had been four and a half hours since 'the incident' and their sister had sent Klaus a text to tell him that their father was livid and-

"What about Tatia?" Kol suddenly asks, out of the blue. "What about her?" Klaus frowns, looking over at his brother for a second. "You're completely taken by Caroline," Kol points out, continuing before Klaus can even get the words out of his now open mouth, "And don't try to deny it because you aren't even that comfortable with Tatia, your girlfriend. I know Caroline, and she likes you. She also thinks you're single. You like her, she likes you, but there's the big bitchy glob that is Tatia. The same Tatia that has betrayed you, got pregnant with another man's child, and has lied to you repeatedly. I know you don't feel how you used to, but you can't stay with her simply because she is pregnant."

Klaus frowns, looking at his younger brother out of the corner of his eye. "How do you know Caroline likes me?" He asks unbelievingly, causing Kol to eye roll dramatically. "A, you are diverting this conversation away from the correct topic. And, B, I've known Caroline for months now. I've seen her hurt, broken, devastated, drunk, happy, hateful, scared, and crushing. And she is totally crushing on you, Niklaus."

"You're starting to sound like her," he points out. Kol smirks, "See, you've been with her for, what, four hours? And you know how she talks. You also know the difference between her laugh and her giggle, because you smile is bigger when you make her laugh to when you make her giggle. You know how she walks, because I caught you checking out her arse on the way to the field. You know how she expresses her emotions, because you couldn't help but look."

Klaus looks at his baby bro in shock. "How do you know all that?" He demands, turning shock into a frown as they pull up in front of the house. "Because that is how I looked when I began to fall in love with Bonnie. Now, what about Tatia?"

AN: Any problems with the part about 'gay list' then I apologise. Just using something from my own life. That whole scene is based of my own experience with my friend who has a cousin with an uncanny resemblence to Beyonce, so her brother said that it'd be weird if she loved her if their cousin looked like Beyonce. Thought I'd weave it in for a laugh.

First human AU, is it bad/good? Let me know if I should continue, please!
