Rebekah fought a smile as it foolishly tried to grow across her face while Matt spun her around the dance floor. She had no idea why she even wanted to smile so she told herself that it was because she prided herself in her scheming.
Yes, she was going to murder Matt Donovan and he had no idea what was coming and Rebekah would smile through the whole ordeal. But only if she could get this weird, thick, fluttering feeling in her heart to leave her alone. She closed her eyes, squeezing them shut, while being as graceful as possible, to fight against those undesired feelings. And she was quite successful until Matt twirled her under his arm in a move so smooth that Rebekah desperately wanted to giggle in delight as the feelings rushed back into her system with full force.
At least until she collided with someone else and his arms slipped around her, picking up the waltz where Matt had left off. She knew who it was without looking, she had danced in these arms too many times to count.
"Don't look so excited, Bekah. People might get the wrong impression," Klaus drawled with a raised eyebrow as he looked down his nose at his sister.
"I'm your sister. You shouldn't look so smug,"
"True, but at least I smell better than the Donovan boy. You smell like freshly cut grass and mediocre bar food. Charming, if you're into that type of thing, which we both know you aren't, dear sister. So, you'll have to excuse me for saying that your choice of date is most interesting."
"Speak for yourself, Nik," she snapped, throwing in an eye roll for dramatic effect before glancing over Klaus' shoulder to where Matt and Caroline were now dancing. Rebekah narrowed her eyes at the girl, a move she was sure that her observant and calculating brother would see.
Klaus leaned down to whisper in Rebekah's ear. "You do remember mother telling us not to play with our food? I know it was years ago, but now that she's back I figured a reminder would do you some good, sweetheart."
Rebekah only turned her narrowed eyes up to his face when he pulled back to regard her with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. He knew. Of course he did. Klaus knew everything that was going on around him. It had been beneficial several times in the past but now it was just obnoxious. She couldn't pull off a simple murder without him on her case. But then again, here was her equally mischievous older brother telling her to go ahead and get on with it…
Klaus only chuckled at her mixed response. "I never thought I'd see the day where you started fancying mortals after that whole scandal with that one prince once upon a time, dear sister. Of course I know what you're doing, just leave me out of it."
Finally, it was Rebekah's turn to smirk. Not because her brother was going to let her go about her plans the way she wanted but because here was the almighty, often bloodthirsty, Klaus Mikaelson telling her that he wanted absolutely no part in her diabolical scheme.
Rebekah's smirk turned into a full-blown smile and a laugh at Klaus' dispense, unbeknownst to him. Klaus twirled her one more time before the music stopped to hide how badly he was fighting the tug of his own grin. He loved to see his baby sister smile like that, and that's why he allowed Rebekah more room to play than his brothers.
When the dance ended, Rebekah felt sure Matt and Caroline's eyes were on them. With a short, smug glance over her shoulder directed more toward Caroline than Matt, Rebekah stood on her tiptoes as if to kiss her brother's cheek.
"Going to offer the world to yet another girl? I never thought I'd live to see the day that you would be falling head over heels for a pathetic baby vampire. Gag," she goaded into his ear, lips moving against his skin. "Smelling like strawberries and sunshine does little for your reputation, brother."
She patted him affectionately on the cheek before turning on her heel and walking back to Matt without a backward glance at the dumbstruck expression on Klaus' face. Rebekah made sure to glare at Caroline while leading Matt away by the hand with a smile.
She had to let them all know who was boss around here.
A/N: Well then...I have no idea where that came from and I know it's terrible haha. Actually, I'd had it written but forgot about it until I saw that one of the writers directed Joseph and Claire for a 4x04 scene and he asked if there were any Klabekah fans out there so, yeah...you should review and tell me how awful it is, lol. Thanks for reading:)
