What happened between Klaus & Caroline after the Hook-up? Just because we didn't see how they ended things doesn't mean they didn't talk or say goodbye. This is how I envision it.
Note: This one was not edited so sorry for any spelling mistakes etc
The summer was coming towards an end rapidly and you could tell by the color of the leaves the would be falling soon. The sun was about to set as a bright spectre of orange and red colored the sky in an almost dramatic setting. And although the temperature was starting to drop slightly the chill barely kissed Caroline's skin. She was still locked in the comfortable safeness of his embrace as he left the last few kisses on her body. The light stubble of his beard scratching her still heightened senses. He still had the biggest smile on his face, one she herself even rarely got to see. A mixture of pure joy and excitement, combined with a whiff of arrogance and sense of self achievement.
This afternoon had been a long overdue moment between them. Though she had denied it for the last years since Klaus Mikaelson had arrived in Mystic Falls she had just now confessed to truth to both him and herself that there was a connection between them and that yes, she had romantic feelings for the big bad hybrid. Ever since he had confessed to fancy her , her own feelings had grown with every encounter they had. Although sometimes diminished by his cruel and brutal actions they had flared right back up again when he made some big romantic gesture towards her. She had pushed them aside and kept them to herself because of her relationship with Tyler and the obvious disapproval this would get her from her friends. But she and Tyler had broken up and her friends weren't her. It had been hours and hours since Rebekah had rescued Matt and they should've met up again at the boarding house, but her phone hadn't gone off once in that time, so either nobody was that worried about where she was during all this time, or nobody cared. Caroline shook the thought from her mind quickly, her friends loved her and she loved them. They probably figured that she was a big girl with good vampire qualities that made her able to take care of herself.
Her mind was quickly back with the man she was still embraced with as he kissed her lips again softly his hands on her lower back pressing their bodies together. As she giggled just the slightest bit she could feel his grin against her mouth. He was pretty happy with himself right about now, and if she was honest she felt pretty great herself. Over time they had played this attract and push away game for far too long and it had led to some pretty damn undeniable sexual tension. At first she had just kissed him, thinking that maybe they could make out a bit and it would be great and then he'd let her be. But as soon as he kissed her back she knew that it wouldn't be enough for the both of them. The kiss had brought a need and hunger with it that could only be satisfied by one thing and one thing only. .Sex. Though it had been long anticipated and maybe, just maybe, she had fantasized about it once or twice after a particularly bad fight with Tyler or after one of his big romantic gestures, it had still been much better than she expected. So much better! It was the way he had touched her, though passionate it had also had a form of maturity she hadn't had with previous boyfriends. This was probably why college girls dated older guys although in her case maybe now she was dating a very old guy. She mentally chuckled at that note. As he stared once more into her eyes she smiled and sighed just a little. He was so handsome, and the tender loving look in his eyes on this moment would almost make her forget the person he was when he wasn't around her. The person who did all those horrible things. The person who killed so many people. Tyler's Mom, Elena's aunt Jenna… And she was the one who just had sex with him.
Great! Now she felt bad about it! It had been one of those typical Caroline impulse moves she started to blame herself. Sure it felt good at the moment but how was she going to explain this to her friend? Or did she not have to explain this? Maybe this could just be their secret. After all her sex life wasn't any of her friends' business. And Elena was currently sleeping with Damon on a regular base which was just as bad. Ok so she should probably tell Elena first and Elena wasn't allowed to be mad at her because she was still happily humping Damon! And then she could ask her for advice.
Klaus could feel her slipping away from him. Her mind went back to the million thoughts that occupied the blonde's strikingly beautiful head at all times. He could see her thoughts racing as he places a final kiss on her cheekbone. Her taste still on his lips and her sweet scent still hovering over his body. He honestly didn't blame her, her attention had been fully committed towards him since noon and by all that was good and pure in this world it had been glorious. He had used the excuse of the eminent demise of Katherina Petrova to return to Mystic Falls just so he could see her again. It had been a few weeks and he had found his memory of her did not do her beauty justice. His heart always gave a little sign of life when she smiled at him as if to say try and deny my existence all you want but i'm still here and beating solely for her.
Though last time he saw her they had left on friendly terms when he had saved her from the witches and promised her to be her last love , she had wooshed at the sight of him giving her usual sass. But when she first laid her eyes on him he saw the gentle smile, the one breath she had missed, the skip of her heart and he had known...known that she was secretly happy to see him. That maybe just maybe he now had a chance. Part of him, a very small part just wanted to throw her over his shoulder and drag her back to New Orleans right then and there. But Caroline was her own person, beautiful, strong, self-reliant and hot tempered and she would never go for it. And that was what he wanted, more then anything in the world. For her to be with him out of her own free will. They had played their signature game of back and forth for a while. It was sort of their thing. Well that and him getting her alcohol, both equally amusing!
After he had finally revealed to her that the young quarterback was safe and sound in the company of his younger sister she eventually gave in and talked to him. She had asked him about New Orleans but he deflected the subject as not to bother her with it all. The conversation had quickly become much more serious pretty quickly. He found he could not hold his questions for her any longer. During the time they had spent apart he had thought about her, daily. It was when Tyler had shown up to kill him and told him he and Caroline had broken up with him he had a flicker of hope. Klaus had every intention of tearing Tyler Lockwoods heart out that day. But when his hand was buried deep within the boy's chest clutching over his beating heart, in his eyes he could only see the saddened face of Caroline. He had let the boy go for her, it was always all for her. Which led him back thinking to the conversation they had prior to their lovemaking. She had asked him if he didn't have a dying girl to punish for all over her sins. And he said he wouldn't for her. He had to make clear, he would do ANYTHING for her. Klaus had asked her for her confession about him. Now with the complication of Tyler Lockwood and the distraction of all Mystic Fall's drama all gone. In the woods where it was just the two of them...she had no more place to hide. The only thing she could do was be honest with him, as he had always been honest to her. His fragile heart had been close to shattering when she started explaining that none of her future plans involved him. Had he really been that blind and clueless. Had he misinterpreted the time they had spent together so badly that all he was to her was a solution to a supernatural problem they could not fix on their own and she wanted to be towards him was a mere distraction. Klaus wanted to turn his back on her then and there but she stopped him. She made him promise to walk away if she showed him her true longings. And when he had promised her so , she had done what she does best. Taking him off guard completely by surprise. Though he had technically kissed her before when he was in Tyler's body, this had truly been their first real kiss. Partly because it doesn't count when you're in another body and also because since that time he had fallen in love with her.
At first the kiss had been gentle, soft like she was afraid he would harm or reject her. But his lips moved in sync with hers almost immediately and he almost shivered when her hand had stroked his signature slight stubble. It became clear pretty much right away that the chemistry between them had changed. This wasn't going to be a kiss goodbye. As he saw her grin the same wicked grin he had he knew there was only one thing that would satisfy both of them...and it would start with ripping that goddamn floral top off of her.
Caroline could feel him press the very last kiss on her forehead. He picked a lead out of her head and smiled. She smiled softly back at him. Their moment had been incredible and now it was over. She grabbed the remains of her clothes from the ground and started getting dressed again. She noticed him doing the same. Both of them not risking being caught naked by a hiker, or worse, somebody they knew.
"That was one of my favorite tops you know" Caroline whispered with her back towards him. It felt awkward suddenly making eye contact. Everything had changed now between them.
"I'll make sure to send you a new one" Klaus joked.
She laughed.
"Are you leaving already love?" Klaus said, this isn't how he wanted to say goodbye to her. The whole thank you for a great time see you around was beneath what he felt for her. Especially now.
"Didn't peg you for the cuddling type" Caroline said rather coldly.
"I'm not….but this isn't how we should say goodbye" Klaus said honesty in his voice.
"Look this was a mistake" Caroline said still not looking at him as she finished putting her shoes back on.
Klaus sighed slightly annoyed. "Don't do this Caroline, don't you dare…" He warned Caroline
"Do what?" Caroline asked confused.
"Push me away because you blame yourself for doing something you wanted but isn't socially approved by the rest of your good guy hero friend club" Klaus responded.
"I don't do that" Caroline muttered.
He chuckled "Yes you do love, you are always looking for everyone's approval when honestly the only one you need to please is yourself."
"I happen to like being liked thank you" Caroline replied.
"I like you for you…..look Caroline I know what I promised and I will keep my promise but I have to ask you one more time before I go….Come to New Orleans with me…" Klaus said coming closer to her again.
"You know I can't" Caroline whispered looking down at the multicolored leaves on the ground.
Klaus took a step in closer again, I can't wasn't I don't want too.
"What are you so afraid of?" He whispered.
'YOU!' Caroline grunted she was losing her temper with him now. "I'm afraid of you'
The honesty of her words hit him harder then he had expected. "You do not need to fear me Caroline, I would never hurt you'
"I know you won't but i'm afraid that if i will let myself go and lose control completely when i'm around you and I just can't …. My life is here, my friends, my mom! And they need me to be in control" Caroline explained with a little sadness in her voice.
"Tell yourself whatever you need to darling to hide the fact that you are just scared to make a commitment." Klaus said slightly offended.
"I need to go...it's getting dark my friends will be wondering where I am" Caroline said after an awkward moment of silence. She was definitely not getting into this subject with him. She turned her back and started to walk away.
"Caroline...Just so I know….Should I wait for you….to ever show up at my door...is there any chance you'll take my offer up one day?" Klaus asked as she walked further and further.
Caroline smiled, even after his promise he wasn't actually going to let go and part of her was relieved that we wasn't. She turned her head around and looked back at him over her shoulder smiling. "Maybe, Someday, but not today"
And then…. She was gone.
