She settled on sending him a text. It wasn't a big deal, just a text to tell him if she could go to watch a movie with him at his mansion.

As friends.

After all he was the one who suggested watching another film together, she wasn't texting him to go out together or anything, just informing him that she accepted his offer and if he was available in an hour or so.

Caroline was on her bed, still with her clothes on after she accompanied her mom for some grocery shopping. The month of July turned out to be colder than they were used to in the little town of Mystic Falls, but she didn't care as long as there was peace and no more supernatural problems.

Still, she felt lonely.

Bonnie was gone and Elena left the country with both Salvatores following behind to explore Europe. She smiled at her friend's cheerful face when she told Caroline to go with her and the older vampires, talking about how it would be a dream come true for the two best friends, a way to forget all the pain that came with Bonnie's death.

The blonde vampire however, refused to accompany her with a kind smile, promising that she would be okay alone, that she needed to cry for their friend on her own. Elena finally agreed and said goodbye with a hug, leaving Caroline with her mom.

And now there she was, a month later and not feeling any better than when Elena left. Despite having her mother to support her through all of her mourning, she decided she needed a distraction. Klaus ended up being her choice.

After all she had already been his distraction more than once, right? It wasn't the same obviously, but still.

She was cut out of her thoughts when her phone buzzed.

"I'm available whenever you want, sweetheart ;)"

Did he really just sent her a winky face? This was so weird, not to mention his innuendo.

She got up from her bed and slid her sandals back on. It was stupid lo lay there for an hour when she could just go there and not wait there doing nothing. Or that's what she told herself.

Locking the front door with her key, Caroline walked to her car and in less than ten minutes she was already parking in front of the Mikaelson household.

She took a long breath and exhaled.

It's just a movie. Better than crying herself to sleep, that had to stop.

She walked to the main door and before knocking a smirking hybrid was already opening it to her.

"Welcome, love." He said gesturing her to follow him, "how are you doing in this beautiful summer day?"

Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Well if you don't take into account that the day is not beautiful at all because of the clouds hiding the sun, I'm fine." She nodded with a small Miss Mystic Falls smile.

Klaus chuckled and smiled at her, turning around to face her. "Who said cloudy days can't be as beautiful as sunny ones?" he wondered and kept walking until he reached a large door which he opened to her yet again.

She sighed at his question, but had to admit that he was right, grey days could indeed be nice from time to time. Entering his living room, Caroline realized what a big couch the Original family had, and glancing at their TV screen she widened her eyes, it was clear that it was bigger than her laptop's and even more than the one in her living.

"But I'm glad to know you are okay."

Klaus whispered behind her, a chill running up her spine at his words. He placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her towards the soft looking couch, taking her jacket and placing it on the nearest chair.

Caroline comfortably sat down and looked around to the wall full of movies. Though what she didn't like was the way they were catalogued.

"Why are the movies in alphabetical order?" she asked out loud. Klaus looked at her with an amused smile, his arms crossed in front of his chest, standing almost awkwardly in his own house.

"Would you like change it?"

She shrugged.

"No, I'm just saying it would be better if they were ordered from oldest to newest."

Klaus smiled at her want of having everything her way, "you can do that any other day if you wish, but today I thought you wanted to watch a movie."

Caroline nodded not answering his not so subtle proposition, "I do."

There was a moment of silence when she didn't get up as Klaus had expected.

"What do you want to watch?"

Caroline's eyes widened a bit and turned her head to face him, "are you giving me the chance to choose what we will be watching?"

Klaus chuckled at her surprised face, "I am, sweetheart," he said taking a seat on the couch next to her. When she didn't move he smirked, "if you don't get up now I may think about what I just said and choose the movie myself."

That immediately made her jump from the sofa and head to the wall full of movies. It was so odd to have a TV screen surrounded by hundreds of movies when she barely had any. It took her some time to pick the perfect movie, she didn't want to watch something she didn't like but she wouldn't be confortable if she chose a movie Klaus hated. Though thinking about it now, it could be fun.

Caroline smiled to herself and took the DVD.

"Why am I not surprised?" Klaus murmured behind her while she put the movie and the TV on.

Caroline smiled and turned around to take a place in the huge couch next to him, with enough space between them so she could breathe calmly without having to worry about touching him involuntarily.

"You said you liked it once and I love it, so why not watch it?"

"I told you I liked the book, not the movie." He pointed out from his spot, looking at her with his usual smirk.

"But," she said directing the remote to him, "you also admitted you enjoy good acting, and Keira Knightley was nominated for an Oscar thanks to this movie." Caroline smirked back at him and Klaus' eyes were shining for how well she remembered their last encounter.

"Very well sweetheart, onto the movie then."

With a pretty cool little remote, in Caroline's opinion, Klaus closed the courtains behind him and the pair began to watch Pride and Prejudice.


This time the blonde wasn't surprised at how easily they made jokes and talked about the characters, how the sweetest one between the sisters was Jane and how annoying Mrs. Bennet was.

Klaus didn't laugh at her when she cried a bit when Mr. Darcy professed his love for Elizabeth, and she was glad of that. She already knew he wasn't like any other boys she had dated before, he was a real man.

Not that they were dating.

This wasn't a date, just a casual movie afternoon, she told herself.

Caroline kept silently watching the film, only laughing at Klaus' funny comments. The youngest Bennet sister was the worst though, the two vampires agreed on that.

And before she knew it, Caroline was crying again, at first because the ending was beautiful, but then Bonnie came into her mind again, and she couldn't stop the tears.

The credits were already playing and she kept crying, her best friend, who loved watching romantic movies with her, who always insisted to have a Saturday movie night at least once a month when they were kids, the incredibly smart witch was now gone and she couldn't do anything to go back in time.

It felt like everything came to her suddenly when she had been crying for so many weeks already, she thought her eyes were dry.

"Are you alright, love?"

And that's when she realized she wasn't alone, Klaus was next to her, his eyes full of concern and she couldn't look at him. She tried to hide her tears with her hands, which was rather ridiculous, but it was better than nothing.

"Yeah," her voice cracked and she coughed, "I..." she whispered and put her hands on her lap, "I was just thinking of Bonnie and..." she couldn't talk anymore without her voice lost again.

She stilled when she felt Klaus' hand on her back, caressing it slowly. However, her shoulders relaxed at the touch some moments later and not thinking much about it she turned around and rested her head on Klaus' chest.

He was the one stilling then, but his hand found a place again caressing her blonde curls and he rested his cheek on her head.


It was odd to see Caroline cry, it made him angry in some way; he knew why it was he just didn't want to admit it out loud. After hearing her laugh and watching her face brighten by his comments, he didn't feel comfortable with her tears; they should never cloud her face like they did.

Even in the darkness of the room, Klaus knew these tears weren't the same ones she had shed when the male protagonist proposed to the young woman. These tears were real sad tears, and he couldn't help himself when he felt the urge to touch her and try to comfort her.

To his surprise, she trusted him enough to admit the reason behind them and cry on his shoulder. Caroline seeking him for comfort was even weirder than seeing her cry, but he responded to her needs. It made him happy to know he was able to help her when she most needed.

They stayed that way for who knows how long, Klaus kept his hand caressing her soft hair and he almost thought she fell asleep. That's why when she turned around to face him, her puffy eyes red from crying, he almost looked at her with shock.

What it did shock him was the feel of her warm lips on his, though he quickly recovered to return the kiss, carefully not to push her much in her state.

When finally she backed away, she only smiled at him, her forehead touching his.

"Thank you."

He nodded understanding what she meant, and caressed her curls a bit more.

Her smile changed then and turned into a smirk.

"You know, Mr. Darcy's words reminded me of a Big Bad Hybrid I met once."

Klaus chuckled but decided to humor her, "which were the words, sweetheart?"

"It was all for you," she whispered, "You know, you shouldn't take your pick-up lines from movies, Klaus." She smirked playfully.

"Caroline, my pick-up lines are nothing but original," and her laugh in response of his joke was something he wished he could hear every day for the rest of his long immortal life.

Tears indeed, didn't suit her at all.


Thanks for reading! If you are wondering, nope, the next drabbles won't follow this two.
