So I seen this post by bossyblondebabe on tumblr as I was scrolling through the Klaroline tag that said no one talks about Caroline inviting Klaus to her graduation. So I realized it was true and I attempted to write a drabble! I wanted to start a drabble story on here anyways as I work on the other two stories I have up (btw next chapters for both are in the works, yay!)
This is unedited, typed on my phone at work. I apologize. (I do that a lot? Probably because at home my toddler does not allow me to type until bedtime!) hopefully this is okayish and I'll continue to write more drabbles if I have some ideas! Feedback, prompts, advice is always welcome!
For this drabble I took the scene of Caroline and Elena writing out their graduation invitations and kind of took a spin on it.
"You're done already? I'm only on my second batch." Caroline set down the envelope she just finished writing the address on and sealed into her perfectly stacked finished pile as she looked up at Elena with a shocked expression.
"We have family friends in Denver," she shrugged as she held up her only envelope to show Caroline. She opened her mouth to continue on about how no one, including herself, cared that she was graduating high school, but the address on Caroline's recently finished envelope caught her eye. "Who do you know in New Orleans?" She questioned her as she reached for the invitation before Caroline could grab it.
"Elena!"
Elena let out a small laugh that was anything but humorous. "Klaus Mikaelson. Really, Care?"
Before Caroline even got the chance to think of something to defend her decision of inviting him Elena continued with her unwanted opinions. "Why would you invite him? After everything he has done to us, to Tyler, to me!"
"Look Elena, I know but.."
Elena cut her off like she hadn't even spoke words. "He killed Jenna and Tyler's Mom. He killed his entire pack for Silas' ritual."
"Hey!" It eas Caroline's turn to interrupt Elena. She knew all the bad things Klaus did. Yes they all mattered; she hated every single horrible thing she knew he has done and the ones she didn't know about, but they have all done terrible things. What gave them the right to pardon Stefan, Damon, or even Elijah but not Klaus? "In case you don't remember correctly, I also killed an entire coven for that ritual. And you just recently tried to kill me but here I am spending time with you."
Elena chose to ignore the comment about almost killing her best friend. She refused to feel bad about what she did without her emotions, she couldn't feel bad about them. "You did that to save Bonnie, it's okay."
"And Klaus killed his pack to save himself." Caroline signed and pinched the bridge of her nose, she could tell this was going to go no where. Elena had her opinions and no one else's matter to post emotionless Elena. "Look, I'm not going to sit here and defend things Klaus has done because I can't; they are all terrible. But so are a lot of things we've all done."
"We've always has good reason to do the things we've done, Caroline. He doesn't."
"People are still dead, good reason or not. Anyways, Klaus has been a good ish friend lately. He's been there with no questions asked and asks for nothing in return." Caroline reached over plucking the invitation out of Elena's hand and smiled as she placed it back on the perfectly stacked pile. "So he gets an invite and if he brings a gift I won't complain."
Elena still wasn't accepting that her friend wanted to invite someone like Klaus back to town when they finally got rid of him. "But all those innocent people."
Caroline rolled her eyes at that comment; why did everyone act like all the people they killed didn't count. Just because they were killing them in the name of saving Elena? "How many people have Stefan and Damon killed? We killed two of Klaus' brothers, Matt's sister is dead, the list goes on." She crossed her hands on the table leaning in toward Elena. "We act like we are better than them but we're not. Like when Rebekah killed you. You were so angry, furious! But all she was doing was acting out against the reason her brother was dead. She was mourning. And here you are doing the same exact thing with Katherine."
At the sound of Katherine's name Elena's ears perked up. It was like everyone else Caroline had said didn't happen. Elena reached over grabbing Caroline's hand tightly, probably to tightly. "Do you know where Katherine is? If you do you have to tell me!"
Caroline pulled her hand away roughly. She took a moment to rub her hand out since Elena was using quite a bit of vampire strength to hold onto her. "No I don't. Calm down, Elena."
Once it seemed that Elena had dropped it for now Caroline put on her best Miss Mystic Falls smile and went back to finishing her invitations
