A/N: I know, I know. I have four other work in progress stories and the last thing I need to do is start another one, lol. This is a collab work with musicalfreak. She's wonderful:) this is exactly what the summary says: a crack fic of Klaroline-anized romantic movie scenes. Got a suggestion for one? review or let one of us know in a PM:)
Disclaimer: We own nothing!
Chapter 1: "The Notebook"
On a dark, cloudy day somewhere in between 'a day and a century' or maybe longer (she doesn't know…the years have all run together and she hasn't exactly been counting) Caroline shows up on his door step. In Mystic Falls of all places. She storms up to the front door and bangs on the heavy, elaborately carved wood. Klaus answers after a minute even though he knows exactly who is standing on the other side. He regards her with a raised eyebrow as he crosses his arms over his chest, paintbrush in hand, and leans against the door frame.
Being, once again, on the receiving end of his intense, scrutinizing blue gaze unnerves her and Caroline looses the sense of determined bravery in a single exhale.
"Still in Mystic Falls? I though you hated it here," she says with a half-hearted smile and a shrug.
Klaus shrugs in return, "I've been around a bit. It's nice to have a home to return to.'
"I haven't be back in years. Not sense Tyler and split seven decades ago," she explains.
"You mean to tell me that you've been alone that whole time?" he asks with a very amused chuckle, finally removing his gaze from her face as he momentarily looks down at the ground to compose himself.
Caroline's eyes narrow, "What about you? Where's your family? Made any hybrid's lately?" she spat and his eyes narrow this time. "You know what? Never mind. Coming here was a mistake. Just forget it."
And, as if to cue the summer thunder storm, she turns to leave, heading for her car with the low rumbling in the background.
"Caroline...love,...wait."
"So now you want me?" she scoffs, gesturing with her hands animatedly turning back around. He stops on the top stair of the porch and Caroline looks up at him from her spot in the driveway.
He doesn't answer again and she sighs.
"I've seen the world," she whispers, looking at the ground.
"So I guess your turning up here is pointless then, sweetheart. That was my offer, after all," he bites out, eyes flashing.
"Aren't you going to let me in?"
"Don't see the point in that."
"You're still a dick. At least that much hasn't changed.'
"Old habits die hard, love," he says with an arrogant smirk as large rain drops begin to fall.
"Seriously?! This is what you wanted! Me showing up at your door one day! I came back for you! What happened to the guy who was begging for me to give him a chance all those years ago?" she yells.
"You expected to be welcomed with open arms? I waited for you. For years, Caroline, while you went ahead and travelled the world. A hundred and twenty years, to be exact. I guess I finally let reality sink in."
"I did too!" she cries out through the rain and thunder. She can't tell if she's angry or overwhelmed, all she knows is that she's standing, absolutely drenched in the driveway of the Mikaelson mansion. "The world's a lonely place with no one to share it with, Klaus."
She flashes towards him but collides into him as he comes down the steps to meet her halfway.
And then their lips crash together as he picks her up and holds her to him on the stairs in the pouring rain.
A/N: Thanks for reading!
