AN- Hi everyone i've had this story in my head for a while now, when was listning to The Dixie Chick's Travelin' Soldier one night and it inspired me to write this story. It's going to be a three shot story but i might change it to more i'll see how i go :)

This story wont really be focused on the milertary side of things so you wont see Klaus in the army as i dont know much about it

Remember to let me know what you think :)

Hope you all have a lovely day/night xo

Klaus sat in one of the booths at the mystic grill with his duffle bag lying by his side as he stared out the window, the rain was still coming down heavy outside as he watched people scurry about with unbrellas and jackets covering there heads sheilding themselfs from the rain as they ran to their cars, he sighed to himself as he absentmindedly stirred his black coffee.

He turned 18 two day's ago and in less than 24 hours he would be sent off on a mission to fight for his country, he didn't really want to go, he much rather go to art school and open up his own gallery but he didnet really have a choice, as soon as he turned of age his dad Mikael a former Sergeant major sighned him up and was shipping him off to the army, it didnet matter that the era of compulsory attendance by any man of the age of 18 was over and now it was voluntary.

His father said it was a great privilege and honour to fight for the country they now called home and that he would make the family proud if he followed in his and his two older brothers Finn and Elijahs footsteps and soon his two younger brothers Kol and Henrik will be doing the same when they came of age.

He and his family moved to America four years ago had have been living in the small town of Mystic falls for just about two months now being a milertary family meant that they moved around a lot, him and his siblings got home schooled as they never seattled anywhere long enough to enrol them in a proper school or even to make any real friends.

"Would you like a refill" Klaus heard someone ask him breaking into his thoughts, he continued to stare out of the window as he just waved his hand as a no in reponse

He heard a huff followed by an annoyed voice "Was that a yes or a no" The girl asked

Klaus turned to face the waitress that interuppted his thoughts ready to tell her to leave him alone but what he saw stopped him in his tracks. The young girl before him was absloutly stunning she had long blonde wavy hair , ivory skin and crystal blue eyes he just sat there for a while staring at the goddess in front of him he had never seen a more gorgeous girl before even his ex girlfriend Tatia didnet even compare to her

Caroline just stood there awkwardly as the man infront of her just continued to stare she had to admit though he was undeniable handsome with his dirty blonde hair , ocean blue eyes, full rasberry coloured lips and if he smiled she could tell he would have dimples she had never seen such a gorgeous man before her ex boyfriend Tyler had nothing on him. Caroline cleared her throat uncomfortable "So another refill or not" She asked again as she held out the coffee pot

Klaus shook his head as he came out of his trance "Sorry love , yes i would like another cup of your excellent coffee" He said as he smiled up at her

Caroline faltered at the sound of his british accent 'Oh god he was gorgeous with those killer dimples and he was bloody british anything else' She thought to herself just as she glanced down at his military attire , just great she always had thing for a man in uniform she sighed to herself as she took in his black combat boots, army pants, military jacket that had the sleeves rolled up and beaded necklaces that hung from around his neck this man was the entire package so to put it mildly she was utterly screwed.

Caroline shook her head free from her thoughts "Sure, would you like any milk or cream with that " She asked as she leaned towards him pouring his coffee into the cup

Klaus shifted uncomfortable in the booth he could smell the scent of her vanilla body wash from her close proximity tro him and it was currently causing a certain part of his anatomy to come to life "No, black is fine love" He replied his voice a little strained

Caroline pulled back "Okay, well let me know if there is anything else you need i'll just be right over there" She said gesturing to the bar behind her as she turned to walk away

Klaus catched her by the hand before she could do so "You haven't told me your name i would love to know what to call the beautiful waitress that is serving me this morning" He said in a flirty tone as he smiled up at her dimples and all

Caroline was caught off guard as she was still looking down at her hand that he was still holding. She slowly raised her eyes to meet his arching an eyebrow at him "It's Caroline and is this a new way of flirting because i bet you tell all the waitresses that" She restorted

"Well Caroline its a pleasure, i'm Niklaus but you may call me Klaus or Nik which ever you prefer and only the real pretty ones i assure you" He replied while raising her hand in his and placing a small kiss to the back of it, he looked up at her then before adding "So is it working" He smirked

Caroline blushed before recovering "Just to be clear, i'm too smart to be seduced by you" She said pulling her hand away, even though she was thinking that it couldent be any further from the truth this guy was already starting to affect her

Klaus smiled this girl had fire he liked it "Well, that's why i like you"

She rolled her eye's "Well, i better get back to work"

"Oh come on, take a chance, Caroline. Talk to me." He said raising a changelling eyebrow at her as he noticed her hisatance "Come on, get to know me. I dare you" He added smirking at her

Caroline looked around and noticed her boss Mr. Tanner staring at her with a questionable eyebrow tapping his watch signaling her to get back to work, ignoring him she turned back to look at Klaus "Okay fine , but not here, I'm off in a hour and i know a place we can go, can you wait intill then" She asked

Klaus couldn't keep the smile off his face at that as he replied "Ofcourse, Sweetheart i'll waiting be right here"

"Okay" She said as she headed back over towards the bar biting her lip trying to keep herself from smiling.

K&C

True to her word Caroline came back excactly an hour later bundled up in in a black winter coat, grey scarf , matching gloves and black beanie "Okay ready to go" She asked as she approached him

Klaus immediatly stood up from the booth "After you" He said as he followed her out of the restraunt

Thankfully the rain had stopped now and the sun was starting to break through but it was still cold though Caroline thought as she led him to her car, you think being the sheriffs daughter she would understand the dangers of going anywhere alone with strange men she just met but being the sheriffs daughter also did have it's advantages she knew how to protect herself and she always carried pepper spray in her bag just incase but she didnet get that creepy vibe from Klaus she felt like she could trust him which was odd cause she barely knew him.

She unlocked her car and got into the driver's seat "Okay theres this real beautiful spot about fifthteen minutes away from here where i usaully go to get away from everything, we can talk there if you like"

"Sure thing sweetheart" Klaus said getting as well as he placed his duffle bag in the backseat and before buckling up his seatbelt

Caroline glanced over at him and smiled before turning on the car stereo as she started humming along to Taylor swift on the radio

Klaus couldn't keep his eyes off the blonde beauty beside him smiling to himself as she was currently bopping her head and humming along to that awful pop music not caring if anyone was around he decided he liked seeing her like this smiling and carefree it really suited her.

K&C

Fifthteen minutes later and they were parked at a beautiful secluded spot that over looked a clear blue lake and a waterfall, Caroline had told him it was called the falls and she came here quite a bit to get away "Its quite a lovely spot sweetheart" He said as he looked around while taking a seat beside her on the blanket she had placed down for the two of them

"Thanks i like it, it's so peaceful here one of the best parts of Mystic falls " Caroline said as she turned to face him "So, what do you wanna talk about?"

Klaus turned as well around so he was facing her fully "I want to talk about you. Your hopes, your dreams, everything you want in life."

"Seriously, thats what you want to talk about me, i lead quite a dull life" Caroline said laughing

"Why not, i find the subject to be quite interesting and beautiful for that matter and would love to know more" He replied as he scooted closer to her

Caroline blushed "Umm okay where to start, well i was born and raised in Mystic falls, i'm an only child which did have its perks come christmas time" She laughed before continuing "I am head cheerleader and head of all my highschool committee's and all of the town events as well, i work at the grill after school and on the weekends and i'm graduating in less than four months oh and my mom is the town sheriff, So there i think you may now know everything"

Klaus looked at her taking everything in she just told him she was indeed a very exceptional young woman "And your father, what about him" He asked her curiously

Caroline sighed "My mom and dad divorced when i was 6 and he now lives with his partner Stephen in boston" Caroline looked at the ground nervously affraid of what he would say after finding out she had a gay father , not many people took the news well in this town they arn't really known for their open mindeness

Klaus squeesed her hand reasurringly as he smiled at her "I have a gay uncle on my mothers side, uncle Elliot his name is his my favourite out all of them, he is very entertaining at the family get together's let me tell you. I think that's where my younger brother Kol gets his theatreactical behaviour from" He said laughing

Caroline looked at him shocked at his answer, she would have never of guessed that Klaus would understand about having a gay relative this guy was getting better and better she thought as she grinned up at him "Really wow, he sounds like a really great guy"

Klaus leaned back resting on his elbows "He is, So you havent told me about your dreams yet , what do want to do with your life" He asked looking over at her

Caroline sat there playing with the hem of her scarf thinking over his question before she spoke "Well i always wanted to be an a event organiser maybe start my own company one day i could plan partys, wedding's, functions all sorts of things . I've planned every function at my highschool and every one around town as well so i kind of have the knack for that kind of thing you know and i would love to travel one day to see everything this world has too offer because i've never really been anywhere" She said answering him

Klaus sat up and took her hand in his again looking at her seriously "When i come back from this mission and after you graduate i'll take you. Wherever you want Rome, Paris , Tokyo. Caroline there is a whole world waiting out there, waiting for you. Great cities and art and music, genuine beauty and you can have all of it , i will show you what this world has to offer" He told her stroking the skin of her hand with his thumb gently

Caroline just stared at him "Seriously, you barely even know me and you want to spend however long traveling with me and showing me the world" She asked him in disbelief

"Why not, one thing about my family moving around the world so frequently is that i got to see what this world has too offer at a young age , and i would love nothing more than to show it to you" He told her as he leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek

Caroline froze closing her eyes at the sensation of Klaus' lips on her cheek that was causing warmth to spread throughout her body "Why, i'm a girl you just met, so why do want to show it too me" She whispeared 'Because no one ever chooses me' She added silently in her head her insercurities coming forth

Klaus took her face in his hands so he could look in her eyes "I know this will probably sound crazy because yes i hardly know you but i havent had a connection like this with anyone else before it feels like ive known you forever" He looked down for second as the fear of letting someone in and telling them how he felt started to come to the surface, he took a deep breath as he looked into her eyes before continuing "I fancy you, your beautiful, your strong, your full of light, your everything Caroline"

Her own eyes filled up with tears at his declaration, as she continued to stare into his eyes she saw so many mixed emotions swirling in them ranging from honesty, tenderness, passion, desire maybe bit of fear and dare she say it even Love? Without even thinking about Caroline pressed her lips against his

Klaus was shocked at first but quickly recovered pulling her closer by her waist as he settled one hand there as the other secured itself in her curls deepening the kiss.

Caroline sighed against his lips the feel of his soft full lips against her's was simply heavenly

Klaus growled at the feeling she was creating inside of him she was a glorious kisser he thought as he sweeped his tongue over her bottom lip demanding access to her mouth

Caroline moaned into his mouth as she opened up for him, the first stroke of his tongue ingniting a heat throughout her body. she was in pure bliss no one had ever kissed her like this before not even Tyler who was okay but was way too sloppy at times but Klaus on the other hand was a kissing god it was soft, sensual , passionate, loving. She wondered if he was this good at kissing what else would he be good at.

She placed her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her playing with the short hair at the nape of his neck as she continued to moan in pleasure. The next thing she knew she was lying flat on her back staring up at him as he hovered over her with a look of pure desire in his eyes

Klaus looked down at the beautiful girl beneath him wanting nothing more than to ravish her but he wouldn't do anthing she didnet want too. He looked in her eyes to see if there was any uncertaniy but all he saw was desire and lust sparkling in her blue orbs, just as he about ask if she was comfortable with this she suddenly grasped the back of his head pulling him back down as she crashed her lips on his

Caroline gripped his hair tighter as she moaned into the kiss causing him to growl. She wrapped her legs around his waist pulling him more firmly against her as she started rubbing her bottom half against his

Klaus growled at the contact, he was becoming even more painfully hard at the friction she causing. He pulled away for a moment to look in her eyes "Are you sure sweetheart, we dont have to if you dont want too, if your not comfortable with this we can stop" He told her smiling down at her as he brushed a bit of hair behind her ear

Caroline smiled up at him caressing his cheek with the back of her hand "Thankyou for asking, but i want this, i want you Nik" She told him seriously as she laced her other hand with his squeezing it reasurringly

Klaus smiled with his dimples showing , his heart skipping a beat at the sound of his name he loved how it sounded coming from her lips "I want you too sweetheart, but if you want to stop all you have to do is tell me okay, whatever you want"

Caroline nodded giggling "I appreciate what you doing, i really do there are hardly any decent guys left around here expecially the highschool one's but Nik your acting like ive never done this before" She said raising an eyebrow at him

Klaus growled at thought of someone else touching her "Well im not like other guys love and if your sure, then let me ravish you like you never have been before so you will forget about any other guy but me" He smirked develishly at her before his lips and hands roamed every inch of her body

Caroline moaned loudly every nerve in her body on fire as pleasure overcome her.

K&C

Caroline was now covered by Klaus's milertary jacket as she laid there sated with her head nestled into his neck and one arm on his chest as she traced lazy patterns over the feather tattoo that adorned his left shoulder after what it felt like hours of love making siging in postcoital bliss

"Now that was amazing, i mean wow and here i thought i've had great sex but thats was like oh. my. god it put my ex to shame, if thats whats its like to be ravished properly i so wanna go again" She said rambling wanting to staddeling him again and go for round three or was it four she lost count

Klaus chuckled at her rambling as stoked her bare back with his hand that was curled around her waist under his jacket "You sure know how to do wonders to my ego love but i cant take all the credit you were simple devine sweetheart, magnificent even" He said smirking at her leaning in to catch her lips in sweet kiss

Caroline pulled back as she looked up him a soft smile on her face "So, tell me more about you"

Klaus stared down at her "You sure, you really want to know, we can do something else more proactive with our time" He said raising his eyebrows in a suggestive manner

Caroline playfully hit him on the shoulder "Well i told you about me, its only fair so dont think your getting out of it that easily" She said pointedly

"Okay, sweetheart let's see well i'm british obviously and i was born in london, i come from a big family i have four brothers and one sister it goes Finn, Elijah, me, Kol and Rebekah who are twins and my youngest brother Henrik who just recently started school, my father was an Sergeant Major in the army so we moved around quite a bit never really seatled in once place for too long we came out here about four years ago when i was fourteen and we have been travelling from place to place ever since as typical military families do i guess. My two oldest brothers both served in the army before me and now it's my turn to make both this country and my family proud" He replied sighing

"Do you want to go" Caroline asked him

Klaus just looked at her for a moment as he twirled a piece of her golden hair around ihis fingers "I dont really have a choice my father's family was in the milertary as well so he expects his sons to follow in his footsteps no matter what"

She looked up at him with saddness in her eyes as she stroked his chest "But if you had a choice, would you choose this lifestyle"

Without hisatation he decided to give her an honest answer hoping she wouldn't think any differently of him "No , i wouldn't i know it sounds bad because it is a huge honour to fight for our country but this isen't me , i wanted to go to art school, get a degree and open up an art gallery but i guess it dosent really matter anymore now does it "

Caroline took his face in her hands like he did to her earlier "Of course it matter's, you matter and one day after you have finished this mission , you will get everything you ever wanted and just because you didn't choose this chapter in your life you will choose the next one so just dont give up okay and dont let anyone control your life anymore, if you really want something grab on to it and dont let it go. I know i barely know you but i believe in you Nik, remember me and you are going travelling and i think i want to see Paris first" She said kissing his lips

Klaus deepened the kiss before pulling away from her rubbing there nose against eachother he smiled "Thankyou and Paris is a wonderful first place to visit place, love and the view from the top of the eiffel tower is simply breathtaking"He said kissing her again

Klaus sat up looking down at her as he continued to speak "You are truly amazing Caroline, i cant wait for when this is over because i want to start my life with you in it by my side, Caroline i know this is too soon but i have never felt this strongly about anyone before, i'm falling in love with you Caroline i think i have been in love with you ever since i first met you at the grill this morning and when i come back i want to spend forever with you, so Caroline what i'm trying to say is will you Marry me" He asked nervously hoping that her answer would bring him nothing but joy

Caroline gasped as she quickly sat up letting the jacket fall to her waist. She just stared at him with a hand covering her mouth as tears streamed down her face

"Well sweetheart , dont leave a man waiting here it dosent do much for the nerves or his ego for that matter" He joked

Caroline removed her hand away from her mouth "Sorry, and yes ofcourse i will marry you" She squealed as she jumped on him attacking him with kisses a look of pure happeniess gracing her face

Klaus laughed a huge smile on his face as he kissed her "Well since i dont have ring yet, this will have to do" He said as he took of his necklace and placed it around her neck

Caroline eyes shone with tears as she looked down at the necklace she now wore it was a beaded necklace with a simple wolf charm hanging from it. She picked it up in her hands kissing the charm before kissing him "Thankyou , its beautiful i will cherrish it always but why a wolf" She asked curiously

Klaus laughed as he touched the necklace "There an intriging animal they are strong and hold so much power, beauty and loyality and when they find their mate they love them with their whole heart and never let them go for all of eternity , just as I believe you are my mine sweetheart , I love you Caroline' He said caressing her cheek with his hand

Caroline leaned into his touch bringing her hand up to cover his "I love you too, Nik" And she truly did even with only meeting this man this morning everything had changed since then she was engaged , in love and she couldent be happier. The only part she was dreading was the morning when he would leave for his mission in the army for god knows how long but she held onto hope that he will make it through and she will see him again and they will start their happy life together

Klaus couldn't contain his smile at hearing those three little words even though they have only known eachother less then 24 hours but it seemed like an eternity "Always and forever' He whispeared in her ear

Caroline smiled softly at him "Always and forever" She repeated before leaning in a capturing his lips in a loving kiss.
