AN: thanks to fefe95, Darkness-Princess-Kit, vampirefan14, vampirebarbieprincess, KahlanDarcy and BiancaR for your kind reviews. And also to all the people who put my story in their alert or favorite list. You're amazing guys, I have been in a super mood all day thanks to you ^^. As you can see, I decided to make that fic a multi-chapter as many of you asked me to. I hope you'll enjoy the second chapter as much as the first. Enjoy your reading .

It was half past six in the morning when Caroline told Klaus that they should go to bed and get some sleep. A girl needs her beauty sleep, she had joked. So, they were now heading to the mansion when all of Klaus's siblings had finally retired to their room, Rebekah was the last of them to go, of course. Caroline was going to enter the house when she was stopped by Klaus's hand on her arm. She then turned around with an interrogative stare in his direction.

"Thank you Caroline." He did not need to tell her why he was thanking her and she did not ask him. They both knew that he was thanking her because she had been there for him, comforting him. So she just answered with a smile: "You're welcome Klaus". When they were in the hall, Caroline started to walk in the front door's direction. She bid Klaus goodbye and paused for a few seconds, just looking into his shining eyes, which were red from crying. She went to open the door, but the few seconds had been enough for Klaus to make up his mind and he just asked bluntly:

"You should stay here you know". And he suddenly thought that he had to find a good reason, even if Caroline did not really care if there was one or not. He continued: "Because it's late and you're probably tired, maybe you shouldn't drive…" He knew pretty well that his excuse was lame, with her being a vampire, but neither of them seemed to pay attention.

So, they silently came up the stairs, not to wake up any of the inhabitants of the Mikaelson's mansion. Caroline followed Klaus into his room and was glad that all the guest rooms had now a new purpose because she would not want to sleep in any other room than his. And, surely, Klaus also needed the company, from what she had seen today.

"I think you would be more comfortable in that love" he said, giving her one of his tee-shirt. She noticed that his little nicknames did not bother her as much as they did. If she was being honest, she would even say that she started to like them, they made her feel special.

"Thank you" she answered with a smile.

"My pleasure love, you can use the bathroom" He informed her quietly, his voice still broken by the emotion.

With that, she entered his en suit bathroom and got off her clothes. She threw his t-shirt on and couldn't help but breathe the scent of it: it smelt just like him. She could not believe how whipped she was; she hated him less than a week ago! But, a lot had changed in this short lapse of time. Tyler had died, HE had died, and he had come back to life and cried on her shoulder for hours. And she had realized what she was still unsure about: there was humanity left in him. And, that humanity was so messed up that she understood why he had become the insensible hybrid he was today. Of course, she had not forgiven him for all of what he had done, but she would try and be more understanding with him: she would allow herself to give him a chance.

When she came back in his room, Nik couldn't stop himself and just stared at her. She was so beautiful and he found her so attractive in his shirt, the blonde was seriously messing with the poor boy's mind. He took an unnecessary breath to calm down and not jump on her. Caroline watched him the whole time with a smile on her face but she did not say anything about it. She guessed that she should give the Original a break; he'd had enough for one night.

She went to his bed and just lie down on it. It was so fluffy and big and it had soft Egyptian cotton sheets, he surely knew how to live she told herself. He came near his bed too, and she started to ask herself what the hell he was doing when he took the pillow next to hers and put it on the floor. So, she just called out:

"Klaus…?"

"Yes sweetheart?" He answered innocently, as if what he was doing was not the least of strange.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I am doing my bed, why? Did you want the pillow? Because I can go and find another one."

That guy wouldn't stop to surprise her. The reckless killer that did not seem to have any feeling or whatsoever was just proposing her to give her another pillow because he took one to sleep on the floor. She was certainly going to wake up from her dream anytime soon and find herself really stupid for having dreamt something so stupidly impossible.

"Caroline…?" Asked Klaus, worried, misunderstanding her shocked silence.

"I don't care about the frigging pillow Klaus; it's just that you won't sleep on the floor. It's stupid; we're in your room!"

That was his turn to be shocked if you looked at his face: "Alright love but, I thought you wouldn't want me to sleep in the same bed as you so…"

Seriously, what was with him and being cute, it was just freaking out of character. Or in fact, it was out of character for the Klaus she knew, but there was more to him, it seemed.

"Come here silly." She told him with a chuckle. "Okay okay, I'm coming sweetheart." He answered with eyes as big as saucers.

He shyly placed himself next to her on the bed, unmoving and avoiding contact. Man, he didn't want to push his luck. Caroline, on the other hand, did not seem to have the same opinion and she put her head on his chest and snuggled nearer. So, to hell with his resolution, he gently put his arm around her light frame and rested his hand on her waist. Having her so close to him was unfair: hybrid or not, he was still a man! But, he mustered all of his safe-control and decided to speak to break the tension: "I just wanted to apologize that I didn't tell you that I was in Tyler's body." His vulnerability shown herself again and with this, Caroline tightened her grip on him. "And I'm so sorry for all of what I've done to you or to the people you love". She could not believe he had apologized, Klaus. Had. Apologized! Oh god… I mean she never thought she'd see the day. Sensing that it was hard for him to do so, she just said "I know" and hugged him even more. After a few minutes of soothing silence, Klaus said:

"Goodnight Caroline."

And, spontaneously, she answered: "Goodnight Nik."

With that simple word, the hybrid's heart swelled with happiness. Anyone, his siblings put aside, had called him that. In fact, if Caroline had called him by his other nickname is because for her, Klaus was the enemy's name. And the man that she'd seen that night was far from the monster that was Klaus, so she decided that his human side would be Nik from now on.

The blonde girl fall asleep cuddled up with the hybrid and with a smile on her angelic face. Niklaus found sleep far later after he'd watched the blonde for hours (he could not get enough of her). He was overtaken by sleep thinking that it was the first time he was falling innocently asleep next to a woman who wasn't his sister. He must really love her; there was not anymore doubt about the fact.

It was past midday when Caroline woke up and she found the other side of the bed empty. A frown came upon her face and she called out for him. She was reassured when she saw his strong frame at the bathroom door. Her eyes got lost on his gorgeous bare chest, on which were falling drops of water from his damped hair. He was extremely sexy and Caroline turned her blushing face, embarrassed.

Klaus saw the blonde gawking at him, but did not dare to make a remark. He just smiled his breathtaking smile at her and that made her blushed even more, damn. He then told her:

"You can take a shower if you liked, there are some towels next to the bathtub"

"Okay, thanks."

"I'll go and make you something to eat." He said when he heard her stomach growl and she laughed her bubbly laugh. It brought a smile to his lips, she made him smile more in a day that he smiled since he became a vampire. She was magic like that.

He got down and found the kitchen full of his siblings. He did not even have the time to say a word before his sister came crashing in his arms, throwing herself at him. "I'm so relieved you're okay"

"Thank you Bek, I know I had not been really grateful but I'm glad for what you did…" He said holding her tight.

"I missed you so much". Oh how he had missed her too.

"Now, you'll drink some blood immediately!" She instructed.

"Yes mom" He joked.

She glared at him and nearly threw a blood bag in his face. He caught it and started drinking. He greeted his brothers that were sitting around the table. They weren't as demonstrative as their sister but Finn patted his back, Elijah told him he was glad to see he was better and Kol just threw some stupid jokes to show his affection, as usual.

He started to cook something for Caroline when she got down the stairs. All of his siblings stared at her in utter shock, Elijah even spit the water he was drinking and, for the first time in years, Kol was speechless. They knew that their brother had stayed with the girl in the garden for a very long time, but they would never have thought she would have stayed the night.

The blonde didn't pay attention and just said hi, as if everything was normal. Nik finished his cooking and she ate with a smile. Then, she looked at her phone and, like she thought it would be, her mother had called her several times and had let worried texts. So she send a text back, writing she stayed at Bonnie's for the night and that she would also spend the day with her. She couldn't really say the truth now, could she?

When she was finished, Klaus asked: "Do you have any plans for the day?"

"No, what have you got in mind?" she asked curious.

"We could go for a walk; I know some nice places near the falls." He said with a seductive smile. Caroline could not deny that offer and anyway, she did not want to.

"That would be great".

They stayed and prepared what they would need for the day, and half an hour later they were leaving:

Suddenly, Caroline's phone rang and she answered, realizing it was Bonnie.

"Hey, what's up Bon?" She asked enthusiastically.

"Strangely, I just ran into your mother and she asked me if we had a good night, I just nodded not understanding a word because I thought that you certainly needed the cover. So now, you'll be a nice friend and explain why the hell you said to your mother that you were spending the night at my place?"

Oops… She was stuck.

AN: So, what did you think about that chapter? I hope I'll have plenty of reviews ^^. And I may not be able to post every day because of high school, but I'll have some time because it's nearly the end of the school year for those who don't pass the baccalaureate. And I'm in this category because it's my first year. Hey hey, I finished my rambling ;).

See you soon guys :D.
