AN: Just a one shot I thought up, the songs are real. I'll give you the list at the bottom. No beta. Hope you're amused.


Klaus could hear the crowd cheering for him. He could hear them screaming for him. He grabbed his guitar and walked onto the stage. The light shone onto him and the crowd went wild. The screaming was deafening. He looked out and saw the sea of flashes and phones going off. He was Klaus Mikaelson, and it was good to be back. He started to play the first chords of the song and the crowd screamed every louder. His band joined in and they started to play the song.

He was gone for 2 years, hidden away, working on his next album. The first album that came out took the world by storm. It made him into a household name. It paid for his new house in London, the vacation home in Bermuda, and a larger collection of guitars. The first album threw him into the music world with anger and rage. The first album was gritty, hard, angry. The first album was Klaus having his heart broken, being betrayed and most of all, how much it hurt him in the end that he swore never to be that stupid again. His second album came out while he was on a world tour. Between touring and recording, it reflected how everything was slowly tearing him apart. His lyrics were more metaphorical but he was still loud and gritty. And on that world tour is when he met her. The blonde goddess that would forever haunt him. For 2 years, he was blissfully happy with her. So much that his third album was about falling in love with her. But then it ended and she was gone, taking with her any love he felt. And the album took a darker turn. There was a sadness in it, it wasn't anger, it was the loneliness of knowing she was gone.

But now on stage he was back. He was here to reclaim everything that he had lost. He was here to show the world that no one could hold him down, no one could hurt him and most of all, no one would ever have that kind of power over him.

He began to play the next song. A song he wrote for her.

It's a beautiful world, everyone's insane, either you swim, either you fade...we wanna change the world but not what holds us back, i want to be for you what i've never had... all of this time i'm just trying' to reach you through the rain traffic as we float into space your wide eyes hide your face as we float in between i am with you if you bleed

This was her song. He wrote it as he falling in love with her. She inspired him, she was his muse, and he couldn't help it. She made him so happy and in an instant she was gone. He played the chords of the song, trying to reclaim it. He may have wrote it for her but he wrote it, and it was still his and he would not let her memory take it from him.

Fragile to the waves, Vicissitudes of days, when i am with you i feel a little brave. as we float in between i'd die with you, I'd die with you….

He heard the crowd cheer and he was almost tempted to smash his guitar but held back on it. The crowd loved him and he fed off their energy. He decided to play an older song from his first album. An album about a girl's betrayal to him, a girl who's name he'd long forgotten. They were all his songs, songs he'd written, played and created. They were his and he was going to remind everyone that they were. His voice sang out the words, each word laced with venom towards her. Towards the blonde angel that tore his heart from his chest. She who dared to make him love her and disappear. She who dared write a song about him! When he heard it he knew she was singing about him, and it just made the wound in his heart worse. So this is how she wanted to play it.

Love and hate, get it wrong, she fucked me right back down to size. Sleep the day, let it fade who was there to take your place? No one knows, never will mostly me, but mostly you What do you say, when it all comes down? There is no blame, only shame when you beg, you just complain the more I come, the more I try all police are fucking paranoid!

He loved her and he discarded him. Perhaps he was doomed to be alone forever. What did it matter? He still had his music and his fans. And wherever she would go, she would always see his face. She would never be rid of him.

I want you to remember a love so full it could send us all ways, I want you to surrender all my feelings rose today...The chemicals between us the walls that lie between us lying in this bed. The chemicals displaced there is no lonelier place than lying in this bed...I want you to remember, everything you said every driven word like a hammer, held to my head.

Klaus walked backstage after the set was over, dousing himself with a bottle of water. He could hear the crowd cheering still. He needed a few minutes before going back out to do an encore. His sister walked up to him, handing him a towel. He took it and wiped his face with it.

"Is every song going to be about her?" Rebekah asked

"Which her?" Klaus answered

"I forget there are so many. I have a surprise for you, I think you'll like it"

Rebekah walked off, and he saw a bottle of champagne sitting in an ice bucket. He found it strange that Rebekah would give him something like that. He didn't think he was that fond of champagne. He only drank it for her, and he shook his head. He would not think about her anymore. He went back out and played a few more songs. And the last song that he finished with, he would play acoustically. It was a song from his first album. It was about the deterioration of his relationship with the first girl who broke his heart. He played the first few chords and the crowd erupted. The lighters came out, as well as the phones as they were held up. This was the first song that expressed how much he was hurt, and the first song he wrote. He was playing it for what seemed like the millionth time, but it didn't matter. It was his.

It must be your skin I'm sinking in must be for real 'cause now I can feel and I didn't mind, it's not my kind It's not my time to wonder why...Everything's gone white and every thing's gray now you're here, now you're away I don't want this, remember that I'll never forget where you're at

Their names didn't matter, Tatia, Caroline, none of it mattered. Because here in this moment, it was his. Him standing on stage, singing for thousands, listening to his voice, that was all that mattered. This was his moment. He played the next chords and was about to sing the next verse when someone else did. It was a female voice. He turned his head and saw her, walking out. He almost stopped playing if he hadn't played this song so many times it was like second nature. The crowd screamed even louder when she appeared.

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time are you at one or do you lie? We live in a wheel where everyone steals. But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields. If I treated you bad, you bruised my face couldn't love you more, you got a beautiful taste

It was her. Caroline. She was singing his song, walking towards him. He was at a loss for words, until he remembered the next words to his song. He couldn't believe she was actually here, singing with him.

Don't let the days go by, could have been easier on you, I couldn't change though I wanted to, Should have been easier by three, Our old friend 'Fear' and you and me. Glycerine, don't let the days go by, Glycerine…

She smiled at him and he felt his heart alive in his chest again. She was more beautiful than he remembered. Her blonde hair was cascading down her back, and her blue eyes sparkled as she sang with him. He realized she stopped singing, giving him the next verse alone. He changed the words to reflect how he felt about her.

Bad mood wine again, as she falls around me, as you fall around, as she falls, as she falls….

The crowd cheered when they heard the altered lyrics and Caroline smiled at him. The rest of the band joined in, and it was no longer acoustic.

I needed you more when we wanted us less, I could not kiss, just regress. It might just be clear, simple and plain well, that's just fine, that's just one of my names. Don't let the days go by. Could have been easier on you, you, you...Glycerine….

And then at the end they harmonized together to sing the last verse. Klaus was surprised, it meant that she had watched him perform. The crowd cheered when the song was over. Klaus didn't know what to do next. Caroline walked over to him and hugged him. Klaus immediately wrapped his arms around her holding her close.

"I missed you" Klaus said

"I missed you too" Caroline said

Klaus not wanting to waste any time, crashed his lips against hers, devouring her. The crowd screamed at their kiss. She broke away when she needed air.

"You should thank Rebekah" Caroline said

"I'll thank her after, let's get out of here"

Klaus went back to the microphone and waved at everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Caroline Forbes everyone!" Klaus said

The crowd cheered as Caroline waved as she walked off the stage.

"Thank you everyone!" Klaus said as she took his guitar off and walked off the stage

He looked for Caroline backstage and found her in his dressing room. He closed the door and walked towards her.

"Before we do anything, we have to clear some things up. No more lies, no more secrets"

"Agreed"

"No more hidden ex girlfriends that come back claiming to have your love child, or gay lovers that suddenly want to rekindle everything"

"No, no more"

"I'm serious Klaus. Is there anything or anyone else from your past that's going to come back?"

"I didn't know I had a child, I didn't know until my daughter came to find me. And I did experiment when I was younger, didn't you?"

"We're not talking about me. We're talking about you"

"Please your band is filled with exes, and I"m suppose to be fine with that?"

"We're all friends, we realized we were better as friends than lovers"

"Must you say that word?"

"What would you want me to say? Besides they were great inspiration for my songs"

"yes, your songs"

"Don't be like this"

"I don't have anymore skeletons in my closet if that's what you're asking"

"Good, because I'm going to tell you the last secret I've been keeping from you"

"What is it? Did you date Rebekah too?"

"No, I'm pregnant"


Hope you were amused. It's loosely based off Gavin Rossdale of Bush and Gwen Stefani of No Doubt

Songs all by Bush. Go check them out. The songs are Float, Comedown, The Chemicals Between Us, Glycerine. There's a vid of them singing Glycerine together on youtube somewhere. Totally inspired by it. Hope you were amused.
