I'm in-between updating several of my fics, so I decided to just go ahead and do a little Klefan quickie. ;) Thanks for reading, and I hope you guys like it!

Everyone now knows that Klaus was inside of Tyler's body, and now he's back. He's confronted and talked to everyone involved, well, except for maybe one person.

"Stefan, can we not do this right now? It's been a long day." Klaus had just opened the front door and walked inside his house, where he saw Stefan standing there. Looking impatient and nervous.

"No, we have to Klaus. Because ever since you, came back, you've somehow managed to talk to everyone but me. Even Damon, for God's sake."

Klaus groaned and sunk down on to the floor. Stefan felt compelled, no pun intended, to do the same. They were sitting against opposite walls, facing each other. "I don't know what exactly you're expecting me to say Stefan."

"Something, anything!" He gestured with his hands.

"And what if I have nothing to say?"

"Since when do you have nothing to say about me?"

"Maybe," Klaus was tracing his finger around the top of the bottle of whiskey he was holding in his hand. "Since you stuck your hand in my heart and then went on your merry way to not care what the hell happened to me."

Stefan grimaced slightly. What he had done wasn't good, but putting it like that made it seem even worse to him. "That's not completely true."

"Ok," Klaus took a drink before setting the bottle down beside him and standing back up. "Help me figure something out then, because I'm a bit confused. You did it, you took me down, but I saw the look on your face. It hurt you, you hesitated at the end, almost stopped." There was an unreadable look in his eyes. Stefan knew he should probably stand up too, but he couldn't. "Why, would you want to not go through with that Stefan? I've done nothing but ruin your life, you've said so yourself. So why?"

There was a long silence. Stefan tilted his head back against the wall. "Because I care about you." He finally said, quietly.

Klaus stepped forward. "What?"

He looked up at him. "I care about you." He spoke more firmly.

Klaus took another step and held his hand out to Stefan. Stefan took it. They were standing face to face. "Thank you." Klaus kept his eyes on Stefan's. "But, I'm afraid I must give you an ultimatum Stefan."

"What are you talking about?"

Klaus brought his hand up to Stefan's shoulder. "Turn around and walk out that door and run into your lovely Elena's arms." He slipped his hand down to his chest, keeping it there lightly. "Or stay here, and follow me upstairs, right now." He took his hand off of him completely and stepped back. He turned to walk away. "It's your choice." He said over his shoulder.

Klaus made it all the way to the staircase, knowing full well that Stefan had not even moved.

Just as he was starting to think he was going to have to go back and move Stefan himself, there was a flash in front of him. And there was Stefan, looking surprised with himself. "I'm staying." He choked out.

Klaus didn't even try to hide the smile on his face. "Now that's more like it. Being in denial for this long must have been awfully hard."

Stefan shook his head. "Shut up or I'll change my mind."

"No you won't." Klaus' eyes traveled down to Stefan's lips, and Stefan noticed.

"No," Stefan sighed. "I won't."

Thanks for reading! And let me know what you think :)
