Author's Note:I wrote this one via tumblr a few weeks ago, thought i'd share it on here too. Hope you like it!
It was a request: Klaus and Caroline stay in on a rainy day and cuddle and watch movies.
She sat upon the window seat, her copy of "Pride & Prejudice" in hand - her favourite - she scanned the same page over and over again, failing to find her concentration, she had nothing else to do and thought occupying her time indulging in her favourite novel might keep her company, but she was wrong. Sighing in frustration, Caroline threw the book lightly to the other end of the window seat and threw her long legs out from under the bright red throw she had placed over her legs too keep her warm and cozy - just how she liked it when she intended to relax - and quickly stood up from her spot and made her way out of the library in search of Klaus.
She eventually found him in his art studio, gently sketching in his sketch book on the small couch that sat in the middle of the room, feet raised on the coffee table that was placed in front of it. She made her way over to him, standing behind him and slowly wrapped her arms around his front and kissed the side of his neck.
"Hello, love." he whispered, still concentrating on his current work of art.
"Hi." she replied and settled her chin atop his head, taking a look at what Klaus was sketching.
"It's beautiful, as always." Caroline said, eyes following the motions Klaus was making with his pencil along the paper.
He smiled, something he constantly found himself doing when in Caroline's presence.
"Thank you, sweetheart." He replied appreciatively.
Caroline then made her way around the other side of the sofa, sitting down right next to Klaus and gently leaning into his side and sighed. Klaus then halted his movements on the sketch pad and took a side glance to Caroline, who had now settled her head in the crook of his neck. She remained quite for a few seconds and so Klaus took his attention back to his work, resuming his even strokes.
A minute later Caroline sighed again with slightly more force, this time making sure her breathe hit Klaus' neck. He stopped his hand again, this time taking his pencil and pad in his left hand, removed his feet from the table in front of him and set his supplies down there. He turned to gaze down at Caroline as he settled back into the couch and slowly started to stroke her long, wavy, blonde curls with his right hand.
"What's with the long face?" he asked.
She sighed again, lifting her head up slightly to meet his clear blue eyes. "It's raining, Nik." Caroline whined, sounding like a young child.
Klaus rolled his eyes at Caroline's answer, having had this conversation only about a thousand times before.
"Well, what do you want me to do about that, love?" He said.
His answered only caused Caroline to let out an even louder sigh - well, more like a frustrated groan. He always replied with the same answer and so did she. He knew that, she knew that, yet they never skipped this part of the well known dialogue, even though they know how the conversation will end.
"Well, you could keep me company because unfortunately "Pride & Prejudice" just isn't doing it for my anymore, Nik." Caroline replied.
He let out a chuckle. "And what would you like to do then, sweetheart?"
Caroline let out a "Hmm…" pretending to think on what she'd like to spend her time doing with Klaus on such a gloomy day, with the rain pattering on the rooftop and windows.
"We could, oh I don't know, watch a movie together?" she said. Sitting up on the couch and starring into Klaus' eyes, using her puppy face to convince him - which she didn't need to do, as he always complied to her wish - yet she loved seeing his reaction to it.
"Which movie will I have to sit through this time, Caroline?" Klaus answered with a small groan of his own this time, knowing exactly what she is about to say.
"The Notebook of course!" Caroline said with enthusiasm. She then tapped his knee lightly as she stood up from the couch and quickly flashed into the adjoining room which held the movies and in a flash she had placed the movie in the television, which Klaus had gotten a few years ago - for this particular reason, turned the television on and settled back onto the couch, leaning into Klaus' side once more, eager to start the movie.
Klaus sighed as he got comfortable, winding his arm around Caroline's waist and taking the throw from the back of the couch to place over the both of them.
"Here we go again." He whispered. But Caroline still heard and said "Shh. It's starting." and slapped his chest for the interruption.
Tell me what you think and if you have any requests, feel free to PM on here or over at my tumblr: newtythecutie. See you next time, hopefully a lot sooner! I'm so terrible at updating/posting things, haha.
