A/N: this idea came to my thoughts while watching some Klaroline videos on youtube, hope you'll like it.

Please review once you've read it.

Caroline was about to walk down the stairs of Klaus's mansion. The Salvatore brothers, Elena, Bonnie and her had been practically been forced to a dinner party at his house. Klaus had given his word that it was just a kind gesture, but given the circumstances this was Klaus after all. They all had been waited for something to happen, a secret to be revealed or a trap. No one truly believed this night had been for nothing, but Klaus had lived up to his words. Nothing happened that night.

Caroline looked down at her bracelet. This particularly bracelet had Klaus given her once before, she didn't know what she was thinking when she wore it tonight. Earlier that day, one of Klaus's hybrids was there to deliver a black box and a note. Inside the note it said 'love, I hope you'll wear it tonight, it is yours after all – Klaus.'

Klaus did know what Caroline liked, what her taste in dresses and jewelry was. She hated him for it, it made him so much harder to resist. Yet she couldn't help herself when she wore it. It just went perfectly with her one sleeved red dress she had worn once before on one of mystic falls masquerade balls.

Tyler was out of town, she was still mad at Klaus for that. After she had begged Klaus not to kill him, he had given Tyler mercy by giving him a head start before he would kill him. Yet he wasn't scattering the earth for him either. Caroline was mostly mad at herself. She did have dirty thoughts about Klaus, just like Elena had said to her when Elena's humanity was turned off. Every time she did think about Klaus she had cursed herself for not thinking about Tyler.

Standing there at the top of the stairs with her bracelet still intact, Caroline held a pillow. Klaus had earlier that night threatened her to stay the night. He had said he would kill Tyler if she didn't. He knew Caroline would not pass the invitation with Tyler's life hanging in the air. It was a selfish act of him, but he needed her to stay the night, he wanted to be alone with her. Yes, he was alone in the house. Half of his siblings were now dead, Rebekah was spending the night with Matt, no one knew what those two had been up too, and Elijah was off somewhere else in the world. Klaus just couldn't stand the thought of a night alone in his house, even if he liked the peace of quiet sometimes; it was just starting to feel a bit lonesome in the big house, he would never admit that to anyone though, not even Caroline.

"I thought you had gone to bed an hour ago," Klaus said, a bit surprised she was there in his hallway. He had just return from drawing a picture of her in her red dress, when he saw her at the top of the stairs.

"I couldn't sleep, I needed another pillow" She said, barely looking him the eyes. Every time they would be alone together, Caroline would be nervous. She had her days when she could march in to his place and talk to him, but standing in the hallway alone at night was not one of those days.

"You're still wearing your dress," Klaus stated obviously, as he looked at her with his intense eyes. Caroline felt her mouth go dry and her heart speed up. She almost cursed herself for letting him have that affect on her.

"Well, I don't have my pajamas, and I don't take the chance of sleeping in my underwear," Caroline spat back at him.

"I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind giving her a pair of hers. You can go and pick one you like" He said, gesturing to the nearest room beside the stairs.

"Now, I'm curious to why you couldn't sleep" Klaus added before she could say anything. He loved that he was able to cause a physical reaction to her body. Even if her mind wasn't ready for him yet, at least her body was.

"Believe it or not Klaus, no matter how expensive the beds are in this house, they are slightly uncomfortable" She said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You are always free to join me in my bed" Klaus offered with a smirk. Caroline got a mild shock on her face before she quickly pulled herself together.

"What are you going to do? Threaten Tyler's life again, just to get me into your bed" Caroline replied angrily.

"Don't worry love; it was just a kind offer considering my bed is none like the rest of this house. No lives are needed to be threatened," He said, with a flirtatious smirk. Caroline scoffed at his obvious lie.

"What would you do if I were to accept your offer?" Caroline replied with the same flirtatious smirk, raising one of her eyebrows playfully. Two can play at this game she thought.

"Come with me and you'll see" He replied with a smile, making her heart skip a beat. Klaus almost didn't dare thinking she would actually accept the offer, it would be too early for her yet.

"Actually I think I will" Caroline said, making his heart skipping a beat this time. She tried to suppress her feelings that were happy about this. She only wanted to show Klaus that she could stay in a bed with him and not be affected, but she was already reconsidering if this was a good idea.

"I'll choose a pair of pajamas from your sister and I'll be right in with you" She said, clenching the pillow she had in her hands as a way to protect herself. While she walked over to Rebekah's room, Klaus's eyes lingered on her until she was inside the door. He couldn't hide the smile that crept upon his face. She had actually said yes, and he was happy about it, maybe she would take upon his offer on travelling a lot sooner than a decade.

He walked back inside his room, taking his shirt and pants off. He wasn't going to give her the pleasure of him wearing his night pants. He folded his clothes beside a chair, and climbed up in bed under the covers.

"Seriously" Caroline said as she walked inside his room. The lights had been turned off, so it was completely dark, but she could still see perfectly with her vampire eyes.

"You didn't for real think I would be wearing a shirt right?" He asked, with his British accent that was so charming to Caroline's ears, even if she didn't want to admit it.

"Those pajamas looks ravishing on you" He said, looking at her navy blue top and black shorts.

"Ew, these are your sister's clothes" She said with a face of disgust, not wanting to be complimented at Klaus at a moment like this.

"Yet I have never seen her in them. Although I can't picture them looking as good on her as they do on you. It makes me think of the last time I saw you in blue dress" Klaus said, referring to the ball his mother threw.

"Let's just get this night over with, so I can get some decent sleep" She said not wanting to reply. She climbed into the grey covers, at the left side of the bed.

"Good night sweetheart, I hope you will sleep better now" He said by her side.

"I'm already starting to regret this" Caroline stated, but the state of her voice told him that it was obviously a lie.

"I hope we can have other nights like this in the future" Klaus dared to say, with a smirk Caroline couldn't see with her back turned to him.

"Don't count on it Niklaus" she said before closing her eyes, not realizing she had said his true name. Klaus smiled in victory, even if she didn't know it yet, she was already changing. Klaus would make sure they had others nights like this, and maybe in time they would do more than just sleep. He smiled at the thought before closing his eyes too. Even if he didn't realize it either, she was changing him too.

A/N: you would make me eternally happy if you'll give me your review. Hope you enjoyed it.

PS: Didn't check for any grammar after writing it. I was so excited to upload it. So please excuse my bad grammar if there's any.
