Just a little established Klaroline based off of Lana Del Rey's ' National anthem' monologue ' I Still Love Him'. I don't own this song, Lana Del Rey ( though I wish), or The Vampire Diaries ( Klaroline would have happened from the very first moment if I had owned it)

He was like this hybrid, this mix of
a man who couldn't contain himself.
I always got the sense that he became torn
between being a good person and
missing out on all of the opportunities that life could
offer a man as magnificent as him.
And in that way I understood him
and I loved him.
I loved him, I loved him, I loved him.
And I still love him.
I love him.

Lana Del Rey- I Still Love Him

Caroline settled down into the bath, leaning back on Klaus's chest. Her eyes fluttered shut as he ran his hand up and down her arm, leaving goosebumps in his wake. Over the many years they had been together, they had fought. Roughly and often. But this was their safe haven. This bathtub, where they could say anything, and not get angry at eachother.

Another that hadn't changed was how much they loved each other. Despite the fact that she could be controlling, and judgemental, he still loved her. Despite the fact that he could kill without mercy, could live without compassion sometimes, she still loved him. And they both reveled in each others love.

"Where should we go next, sweetheart," he asked, leaning his head back.

"Hmm, we haven't been to Amsterdam lately, and Matt and Rebekah probably want to see us," she answered, leaning up to kiss him.

"Must we go see my god-awful sister and the quarterback?"

"It's been almost a decade, and besides, he's not a quarterback anymore."

"I don't care how long it's been. And he'll always be a quarterback to me, sweetheart."

"You need to see her soon, Klaus! Do you remember the freak out of 2023? Do you really want a repeat of it?"

"God no, but we don't need to see her every time she threatens a temper tantrum."

"Ugh, whatever! How about Paris?"

"Sounds wonderful, sweetheart."

Over the years, they would fight, leave each other,and threaten each other, but one thing that would remain was how much he loved her, and how much she loved him.

So there it is! I'm actually really proud of this one C: I was listening to Lana Del Rey - like I do all day- I heard the monologue, and I was like 0.0 Klaroline! I was going to do the whole monologue, but it didn't really suit this one. Who knows, I might do the other half as a Forwood breakup one? I don't really know.

R&R, lovelies, and have a fabulous day!
