Sorry this is so short, but I was inspired after seeing the latest episode "Our Town." There is definitely potential there, and as evil as Klaus is he needs someone to love. Who better than Caroline? I dunno I think I'd be cool. So please don't hate me for this.

ALSO THIS HAS BEEN EDITED A BIT


When Klaus walked into Caroline's room he instantly felt bad. He had gone to the Forbes' house to fix her because he needed to do what Stefan wanted. Although all the while he planned ways of escaping this terrible hold, for now Caroline needed not to die. Klaus wondered how did he let this happen, how did he end on her doorstep. He had been outplayed. It enraged Klaus to the think that he had lost this battle to Stefan. When Klaus finally stepped into her room everything shifted. She looked so weak and powerless, so different from what she was always like. Caroline looked at Klaus, and didn't scream or frown. She said something that actually affected him.

"Are you going to kill me?"

"No," Klaus responded sitting down next to her on the bed. He thought about what he was going to say for a moment before stating, "I can let you die. If you really want to die I will let you. I don't have to feed you my blood and save you if you really think that you're life is so meaningless. But let me just tell you that there's a world out there for you, there's a whole world waiting for you to go and find it. There's music and art, and beauty, genuine beauty, there are countries upon countries and so many languages, foods to taste, and beaches to go to, forests to wander in, and mountains to climb, so if you decide to give up, I just want you to know that you aren't leaving behind a meaningless existence." For a moment they were silent, Caroline dumbfounded, and Klaus in astonishment over the kindness that he had just offered Caroline. Since Rebekah was gone he had had no one to talk to and it seemed that that was getting to him. Or maybe it just fascinated him that anyone could love another person so much, to the extent where they would ponder breaking a sire bond.

Caroline frowned as tears rolled down her cheeks, and for a moment Klaus thought she was going to tell him that she wanted him to let her die. "I don't want to die." She said finally, and Klaus let out a tiny almost inaudible sigh of relief. Klaus held Caroline in his arms and rested it against his chest, pulled up his sleeve and told her to drink.

After so many years, having people drink his blood wasn't really a rare occurrence and he didn't flinch. He did have to admit though, that it didn't feel terrible. That was a far cry from not terrible said his second thoughts, which he tried to block out. What he had felt was a different feeling, a you-are-a-good-person feeling, or something like that. Klaus stroked Caroline's hair as she fed from his wrist. An experience that was truly surreal for both parties. Even though they didn't yet know each other well, their transfer of blood connected them. Caroline must have been tired because she fell right asleep without even falling back on the bed. She just lay there against Klaus' chest. As he listened to her breathing, and watched her peaceful, beautiful- wait what? Anyway, her bite marks disappeared slowly but surely as Klaus scowled to himself.

Klaus decided to take the challenge of proving to Caroline that she had something to live for, so to start off, he brought her a bracelet. The bracelet had been in his family for years and was silver and covered in diamonds. He didn't know where his family had got it, but he did know that it held protective powers. Klaus was confused, why again am I bringing Caroline a bracelet? As he tried to understand why he wanted to bring her such an extravagant gift, he settled on believing that he was trying to solve her stupidity about the world and disdain for vampires. He made sure to keep the voice in the back of his head shut up.

Caroline would probably open the box in the morning and be confused, wondering why he had brought her the bracelet. She'd probably think it was strange, because it was. Although strange, it also felt right. Klaus was determined to have her to know that there was beauty in the world.
