Disclaimer: I don't own these characters or plots nor do I plan on receiving any profit from writing about them.
A/N: I really wanted to post something light and fun and this is what I am up with. It doesn't even make sense with the timeline of the show so let's just suspend canon k?


Kol stood outside his brother's door and repeated "Klaus, Klaus, Klaus."

After several minutes of that, his hybrid brother stomped to the door with a snarl on his face. "What Kol?"

Kol leap out of reach. "Good morning brother." He said jovially.

Klaus eyes him suspiciously. "What do you want?"

"Nothing I just thought you should wake up. It's going to be good day. I wouldn't want you to miss a minute of it sleeping."

"What did you do?" Klaus questioned.

"Who me?" Kol pointed to himself feigning innocence. "What makes you think I, your favourite younger brother, did anything?"

Klaus felt a tick of annoyance "You are my only younger brother."

"Oh true enough. But Rebekah is fairly boyish sometimes?"

"Don't let her hear you say that." He warned.

"See I knew you liked me most."

Klaus moved lightening fast and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. "Little brother what did you do?"

Kol opened his mouth to answer but the doorbell rang out. He smiled mischievously "I'll get it!" He dashed away saying over his shoulder "Happy Valentine's day!"

"It's May you fool!"


Klaus went on with his morning. He had the distinct impression that Kol's behavior was more of the prank variety than sinister. He carefully checked his morning tea for laxatives, his paint for explosives, his face for a tattoo. Klaus was familiar with his brother's sense of humor. When he found nothing of that sort, he felt a heightened sense of dread wash over him.

He left the house determined to find his brother and get to the bottom of his attitude. He went to town and as he approached the school, he spotted a familiar blonde. "Good morning Caroline."

She jumped surprised by his appearance on a random weekday. "Klaus, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for my dear brother Kol. You wouldn't have seen him sweetheart?" he said.

"No." she said slowly. "Should I be worried?"

"No need. Just some family stuff."

"Right. Well don't let me keep you from whatever sibling feud you have going on now." She turned back to head to school.

The bell rang. Caroline grumbled about being late.

A young girl bumped into him. She looked up at him with wide eyes.

"Best watch where you are going." He said a hint of threat coming through.

Caroline pushed her towards the school and the young girl stumbled away. Caroline glared at him "If you have to be here, be nice."

He smiled at her, dimples in full force. "For you."

Caroline blew out a breath obviously exasperated.

"Hi." A young brunette stepped between Klaus and Caroline. Her outfit suggested that she was a student.

"Hello." He answered casually.

"My name is Angie and I think you are really cute." She flirted.

"Well Angie? Thank you. I can see you have good taste." He smirked and looked her up and down. "I think you look " He chose his words carefully, mindful of Caroline's presence. "delightful."

Caroline watched this interaction with amused eyes.

Angie smiled "Do you want to get out of here?"

Caroline's jaw dropped. "Angie!"

Caroline's shriek called attention to them. In moments there was a small human stampede coming towards them. Arms flailed. Hair was pulled. In the distance, Caroline even caught sight of Elena using her vampire strength to move girls out of her way.

"He is mine!"

"I love you!"

"Back off!"

"We are meant to be!"

Various mushy sentiments flew through the air. He sped away, Caroline in tow behind him. They didn't stop until they were well out of sight, deep in the woods.

"What the hell was that?" Caroline questioned incredulously.

"Honestly. I'm not sure. But Kol was a bit too pleased with himself this morning." Klaus informed her.

"Your family is really weird." She said voicing her general observation.

"We bore easily. " he said with a shrug.

"I better find him so we can get to the bottom of this." She said taking charge of the situation.

"You?"

"Well if you are spotted it will be Klausmania all over again. I think it would be wise for you to stay hidden." She said pushing him deeper towards the woods. "Stay."

He looked down and smiled. His eyes still focused on her. "Good to know you care."

"People could hurt themselves if this continues." She pointed out.

"Or you could be worried about me. All that female attention on little old me." He said faking the sentiment.

She snorted "Oh please."

"Don't worry love. You know you will always be the one I want."

She rolled her eyes.

Kol called out walking into the clearing that they were in. "So I see you figured out my present."

"Kol what funny business is this?" questioned Klaus.

"What brother? You aren't enjoying your adoring public?"

"It has proved to be rather tedious." He answered tightly. "I caused quite a ruckus when I went looking for you. What did you do Kol?"

"Nothing too awful. Just a harmless little love spell on the ladies of the town."

His revelation shocked Caroline and annoyed Klaus.

"Undo it." Klaus demanded.

"I can't brother." Kol said impishly.

"What do you mean you can't?"

"This is no longer a funny joke Kol. Rectify the situation." Klaus' voice getting hard.

"I can't." Kol repeated. "You have to kiss someone who is under the spell."

"You can't go back to town." Caroline jumped in.

"No need." Kol said cheerfully. "No one was immune to my witch's little spell. You will do just fine."

"But she isn't acting any different." Klaus pointed out.

Kol smiled mysteriously. "Curious isn't that Caroline?" he said pointedly and continued on. "Well in any event brother, it seems like this played right into your hands. You want the spell broken?" Kol swept his hand at Caroline grandly. "Well there you go and as an added benefit you finally get to kiss your girl."

"Klaus." Caroline said tentatively.

He started walking towards her. "You were the one who wanted me to solve this."

"I did." She mumbled. He moved closer into her personal space, one hand coming to rest on her shoulder another to stroking up her neck. Tingles spread out over her body.

"It occurs to me that the reason that you are acting exactly as you usually do is because the spell has no effect on you.."

Confusion washed over her face. "I …"

"The spell gave people feelings for me. It didn't affect you because you already have feelings for me. So I would gather that you want to kiss me right now. It would be oh so easy to say it was for everyone else but we both know the truth don't we sweetheart?"

She shook her head a little. Klaus smiled, the effect to her all the more potent at his close proximity.

"Caroline." He whispered in her ear. "I would like to kiss you now."

She let out a shuddered breath but did not move. He took that as her acceptance and tilted towards her. He watched as she closed her eyes and ever so slightly leaned forward. He stopped just short and pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth. "But not like this." He breathed out.

"Oh come on!" Kol exclaimed. "Really brother?!"

"You should have ran while you had the chance." He warned Kol then he sprung into action. Kol bolted away and Klaus took off after him, blurs to Caroline's eyes. She was left in the clearing, her hand reaching up to the corner of her mouth that he kissed.


Caroline walked into his home later. Kol looked like a beat up mess slumped over one of their numerous fancy couches. She could hear Elijah tutting at the blood on the floor. She walked past them, stepping over debris. She could hear Klaus cursing upstairs. She followed the noise to the second floor.

"What was that?" she demanded as she came into the room.

"Caroline." He said surprised by her sudden appearance.

"You just left me in the woods!" she exclaimed.

"I apologize for that." He said sincerely.

She stalked towards him and poked him in the chest. "Seriously what was that?"

"That was sibling pranking at its best."

"Not that! You didn't kiss me. Care to explain that?" she poked him again, repeatedly.

"Oh." He said easily grabbing her hand. "I didn't want to ... I mean the first time we kiss isn't going to be mastermined by my younger brother."

"Oh." She said somewhat disbelieving of his reason.

"Yes oh." He repeated a funny smile on his face part shyness and part genuine happiness at his earlier revelation.

"Alright then. " She said nodding. She looked at him inquisitively. "I guess I'll be going then."

"See you next time love."

With that she left the room. Klaus sighed. The door closed for a second before she burst back in.

"Did you- " he was cut off as Caroline pressed her lips against his. Her arms wrapped around his neck holding him in place. He deepened the kiss, pulling her hips flush against his body. She melted into him. Both of them fighting for dominance. The entire world pinpoint focussed on what they were doing. She gripped his hair. He revels in the softness of her lips. Eventually the torrent of a kiss slowed down to soft brushes as if they weren't quite ready to stop yet.

She let out a giggle as his wondering hands found a particularly ticklish spot on her body. He grinned at the sound.

"That's what I had in mind."


A/N: I hope you were all picturing 421 for their almost kiss. I was definitely channeling that scene. Credit where credit is due. New Girl inspired and inspired by another fic. Unfortunately I can't remember who wrote it or the title but I think it was a Harry Potter fic. So no copying meant by this fic if anyone know recognizes it please let me know so I can properly credit the fic or if the author is somehow reading this then I hope I haven't offended you. I tried to reimagine it. As always please review. I love any and all feedback.
