This is my first TVD fanfic so I apologize in advance if either Klaus or Caroline is OOC. Also, this story is for my BFFOUC, .rain, since she helped me write it last night.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything Vampire Diaries or Elvis Presley…or a record machine (although that would be pretty cool…)
Caroline approached the door to the Mikaelsons' mansion. She knocked and waited, but the door wasn't answered. Assuming no one was home Caroline turned to leave. Just as she began to walk away the door opened and she turned back around to see Klaus standing in the doorway. Suddenly the speech she had prepared was forgotten and Caroline became nervous, though she tried to calm herself as she walked toward the Original. "Hello, Caroline," Niklaus said.
"We need to talk," Caroline said and Klaus stepped aside. "Do you remember when you bit me, then saved me?" the blonde asked.
"Vividly," Klaus said quietly, an indistinguishable emotion mixing with his English accent.
Caroline tried to ignore the flash of humanity and focus on getting answers. "Well why did you save me?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady and strong. "I thought you wanted Tyler to 'learn his lesson'."
"You know why, mate," he said. Klaus walked up the grand staircase and down the hall until he came to his bedroom, where an unfinished paining rest on an easel. On the walls were various paintings. Elvis Presley played on a record machine in the corner of the room. "You said so yourself."
Caroline sat on the edge of the queen size bed. Automatically she started thinking about Tyler in order to avoid thinking about Klaus. But Tyler is gone, and that tactic is now pointless. "You love me," Caroline breathed. "And Tyler's gone."
The record began to play Can't Help Falling in Love. Klaus held his hand out to Caroline. Hesitantly, the blonde girl placed her hand in his and allowed herself to be guided closer to the older vampire. With one hand placed on Caroline's waist and the other interlacing their fingers, the pair began to sway in time with the music. Caroline was struck with the realization that ever word Elvis sang was true. Green eyes meet hazel as she makes this connection. Klaus, maintaining eye contact, guided his no-longer-secret love closer to him. Their faces were inches away from one another, and the two remained in that position even as the final note faded and the song came to a close. Klaus lifted his hand from her waist t to push a few locks of curled hair away from Caroline's face. I know I can't forget all the horrible things you've done, Caroline thought. But the least I can do is try to forgive.
So there you have it, my first TVD fanfic. PLEASE leave a review. I would very much appreciate it. And thank you for reading.
