Too good to be true.

This girl would be the death of him.

Klaus had fallen in love with her the minute he saw her in the art room, at school. Though he never tried to talk to Caroline and only in his dreams he had a chance to be with her. But the dress she wore at the annual meeting of group mates made him gain the brace and he finally did it, he spoke to her. After two years of being far from her, his feelings started to wake up again. He finally dared to ask her to dance with him, then it was followed by the kiss, dreamy dates and a proposal which made them bond their lives together, til the death would to them part.

It was almost 7AM. Caroline had opened her eyes long before Klaus did. Little did he know that she was just laying down beside him and looking at his miraculous innocent face.

Her soft fingers were touching his eyelids, and for a second he moved, maybe unconsciously he felt someone touching him,then, she traced her index finger down his face, then his jaw line, and landed on his lips. She was enjoying the feel of his gentle lip skin on her fingertips. She smiled at herself,not realizing that Klaus had woken up and wrapped his other hand around her waist.

"Caroline,love What are you doing?" He opened his eyes and they immediately started to shine as the sun rays ran across his eyes…They never ceased to amaze her.

"Nothing. I woke up and had nothing to do."

He frowned.

"And you decided to stare at me while I was sleeping? I almost got a heart attack when you touched me."

She smiled at his declaration.

"Well, I am glad that only I can make your heartbeat stop." She giggled at the same time as he did, and then she kissed his dimples, meanwhile caressing his morning face.

"I was thinking about making a breakfast for us. It's been months since we have been living together and you always surprise me with your poached eggs or beignets,or your fancy English breakfast. So this time, I am cooking for us."

He froze in surprise.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to. You know I do enjoy to please us both, in all ways." He scowled.

"Shut up! I meant that I wanted to try something new, besides, you will have time to dress up and take a shower and leave on time. Please! Let me do this for once, and I promise, if I fail, I'll only make coffee or tea for you from then and on."

"You little minx. You love challenges, don't you?" He grabbed her neck and pulled her into his hug, then slowly kissed her. She didn't want to break the kiss but her desire to show him what she was capable of, was overwhelming. So she gently broke the kiss and jumped off of the bed.

"20 minutes, kitchen,try not to be late !"

Caroline was enjoying a calm and perfect life with Klaus, and she was enjoying his efforts to please her in all terms. But since she was willing to please him as well, and cooking wasn't her strong point at all, she decided to take cooking classes and learn something, for her husband. She was trying hard and seemed like she was capable of succeeding, if she wanted. But it was her little secret.

She opened the fridge and took what she needed. During her last lesson, she learned how to cook bacon stuffed french toast, so she decided to surprise her husband with his favorite country's breakfast food.

Exactly twenty minutes later, she was ready and waiting for Klaus to come in and taste her "masterpiece."

"Smells yummy." He shouted from the room. "I hope it tastes the same."

"You better come and get it, Nik! Be ready to be blown away!"

"Woah, easy there, Caroline." He stepped into the kitchen and immediately smiled at her, then he grabbed her tiny waist with his strong hands and kissed her forehead, then her cheeks, and then her thin rosy lips.

"I'd leave all the food behind if it meant that I would have your lips on mine forever. This is my favorite dish."

…. He was so in love with her,so in love….

She smiled and kissed him again, letting him know that she thought the same.

"Okay enough, time to taste the long awaited bacon stuffed French toast!" She clapped her hands in excitement and was dying to see his reaction.

He carefully sat down on his chair and started to observe the meal in front of him. The glass of orange juice, a fork, and knife, and a plate full of his favorite dish.

At first, when he tasted it, it felt actually got amazed, how come that he didn't know that Caroline was such a good cook. The butter melted in his mouth, and then …. His face changed in a blink of an eye.

"So? What do you think?" Caroline asked in excitement, again, leaning on the counter top.

"Well, toast is great, umm, a little bit unsalted but tasty. The cheese is great too, maybe Parmesan would be better, but this is good too." he continued to eat, even though bacon was too much fried, almost burnt, and cheese was over salted. He took a sip of juice and swallowed.

Caroline knew that something was going on. She knew Niklaus way better than he had imagined. She knew he was lying.

"God, stop lying Nik. Say it! It's awful, isn't it?" She crossed her hands in disappointment.

He cursed himself unconsciously, knowing that his action might have hurt Caroline's feelings. "No,no love. I didn't say that. It's good! Really,Caroline… "

He stood up, and approached her,calmly.

"Here's what I think…I love you. And I love your pretty hands you were making this breakfast with… I love your dedication and I love how you try to surprise me every time. But you don't have to. Besides, don't you think I wouldn't know about your classes? I can teach you, if you want. We can do it together." He cupped her sad face and observed her again, making sure she was alright.

"That stupid cook wasn't good anyway, she was shouting all the time." She smiled, looking up at his face. She was in love, so in love.

"I was starting to think that Ratatouille was your teacher. Who the hell puts orange juice with french toast?" He laughed, making her sigh at his action.

"Stop bragging, you prick. She was good at her job, though."

"Really? Then I might consider taking a lesson or two from her."

"God, you're so annoying,but that's why I love you." she wrapped her hands around his neck and pressed her forehead onto his.

"You're already too good to be true, no need to try to be better." Klaus closed his eyes, hugged her tight, capturing and cherishing the moment with the love of his life.
