Klaus was trying very hard not to be nervous. He never gets nervous, because after all he was the alpha male. But this was going to be an important day; today he was finally going to tell Caroline that he was in love with her.
As Klaus was getting ready for the night's festivities he felt his phone vibrating. It was his brother Elijah calling, he gave a small smile relieved that his brother was talking to him.
"Brother, now how do I owe the pleasure of hearing from my only living male sibling."
"Niklaus, we have a problem, it seems your prodigy Marcel has been wreaking havoc in New Orleans, and it concerns the witches that you tried to kill seven decades ago."
It was at that moment that Klaus shuddered, because he knew this was very serious. Marcel is his prodigy, and as much as wished trouble wouldn't come his way on this particular night, he knew he had to get to New Orleans.
"Okay, I understand, we will leave at midnight", Klaus said. "I'll meet you at the house at midnight" Elijah abruptly hung up on him. Then it finally loomed on Klaus that tonight was prom, and he was going to Caroline's date. How could he possibly tell the amazing woman he's grown to care for and love that he was going to leave her, and there's a possibility the he may never return. He sighed and took a long gulp of his whiskey, and got to his car to pick up Caroline for prom.
As he was about to step out of the car he remembered he needed to grab the corsage. He had chosen a beige rose with diamonds surrounding the blooming flower. As he was walking towards the door he kept thinking to himself, 'I just want Caroline to have the best night, but if she were to hate me for leaving her, I don't know how I could even bear it.', just then he reached the front door of her home, and saw someone he knew he would want to spend eternity with.
"Hello Klaus" Caroline Forbes said to him.
If he had a beating heart it would have stopped at that moment. Caroline was breathtaking, that was the only word he could think of to describe such a beautiful person.
"You are breathtaking Caroline, just so beautiful," he told her blushing.
"Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough for my dress. I still can't believe Elena stole my dress, but I have to admit your dress is perfect!"
Klaus could not help but smile at his lady love because he actually made her happy. She was dressed in a vintage dress from the 20s, he always thought of Caroline being a twenty's girl, so when she asked for his help, he knew she would look even more perfect than she already was.
"Shall we Love" he asked her politely.
"Yes, I can tell tonight is going to be a magical night", she told him beaming at him. As he took her hand he walked her to his car while thinking 'I will give you the night you deserve my love.'
