Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews and faves and follows, I really appreciate them :)
This drabble was a birthday gift for Paula (howeverlongs on tumblr) and was inspired by another kcer and her tags on a certain gifset (Sara aka klarolineforevermine on tumblr). It's a celebrity AU/AH.
Hope you enjoy it!

From the way you talk to the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true."

"It's going to be alright, sweetheart"
Klaus came up behind her while she was checking herself out on their house's bathroom mirror and kissed her bared shoulder, she gave him a small smile and turned around.
"I know," she sighed, "I'm not worried about the critics, because I know we made a movie everyone will enjoy, but I'm not sure how the fans are going to react to us."
Caroline looked up at Klaus' bright blue eyes after smoothing the lap of the Armani suit she picked up two months ago for this day. He was looking at her like he always did, with amazement and awe, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Sometimes his stare was too much to her, but this time she waited for his words.
"Love," he smiled placing his hands in her waist and bringing her closer, "we have been together almost for a year now, we moved to this house five months ago and this whole time we have been avoiding this moment so that the movie could get the full attention of the media and the audience. I think it's okay to be slightly concerned about it."
Caroline's left eyebrow lifted at his admission, Klaus never cared about what people thought of him perhaps that helped him in a way to be a better director and find new challenges. His smile grew wider.
"…But, you know your fans will love you anyway, and if they criticise your acting for who you spend your free time with, then they aren't your real fans."
He gave her a small chaste kiss, leaving her side to see if their driver had arrived.
"We need to be there in 20 minutes and the theatre is half an hour away, Caroline. I hope you are ready."
"A Queen is never late, Klaus, everyone else is simply early; you should know that."
She said winking at him through the mirror when he looked up from his phone.
"A King though, always needs to show his servants that he deserves his throne."
"Who said you were a king?" she teased him, finishing with putting on her earrings.
Klaus walked up to her again, holding her hand and leaning to whisper.
"Oh love, I will be glad to show you later tonight what a good king I am."
Caroline blushed at his seductive tone and shivered when he placed his arm around herself to lead her out of the bathroom and towards the front door to meet their car.
It was going to be a long night.
The premier of one of her new movies was always crazy, fans screaming and crying, photographers asking you to look one way or the other, interviews with tv programmes that lasted forever…
It was easy to do all of that with a smile on her face, Caroline learned that since the first film she starred in came out when she was sixteen. Being nominated for an academy award for her part on that movie though changed the path of her entire career. For the last ten years, she hardly ever stopped to rest, every year she had at least a new movie coming out.
Aside from her brief relationship with the football player Tyler Lockwood, she spend her time working. She didn't have time to love and anyway, she thought she was still young to settle down and stop her passion for acting like Tyler asked her to.
That was one of the reasons they broke up.
A few years later she met Niklaus Mikaelson, the arrogant and too-proud-of-himself young director, that at his 29 years he already had won an Oscar and two Golden Globes.
Everyone wanted to work with him, so when her manager Bonnie called her to tell her that she had an audition for one of his movies she freaked out, though not as much as when she got the role.
Meeting and getting to know Klaus however, was totally a different thing. He was very professional like every person who worked with him said, but outside work his biggest talent was flirting with any kind of girl. She still wondered how his reputation was so high after everything she saw, before she really bonded with the real Klaus, the one she loved and admired now, the one whose real talent aside directing was drawing.
The premier of this new film they did together was going to be even crazier, because for the first time they were attending an event as an official couple, something that with a lot of effort they hid from the public eye for a long time, enough so that they could even live in their luxurious house at Hollywood.
The cab stopped and Caroline blinked.
"We are here."
Camera lights were already flashing through the darkened glass.
"Are you ready?" Klaus asked, holding her hand. She squeezed it.
"I am."
He nodded.
"You can go first, sweetheart."
Klaus woke with a groan as someone opened the curtain that was hiding the sun from his face.
"Wake up sleepyhead, it's a new day!" a sweet voice he knew all too well told him, sitting at the edge of the bed as she started to roam her hands through his curls.
Caroline was happy, so that meant the reaction of the media had been good.
Slowly he opened one eye to look at her girlfriend. She was already dressed in a simple pink jumper and grey sweatpants, her curly blonde hair falling around her smiling face. He couldn't believe his luck sometimes, he worked hard for all the awards he got, but this woman was a mystery he could hardly understand but would gladly spend the rest of his life trying to do so.
"Are you just going to stare at me all morning?" she asked amusedly.
"If you let me I would stare at your beautiful face all day, sweetheart." he murmured in a flirty way. She chuckled.
"I don't think so, I believe you have a meeting in…" she checked the time on the clock hanging next to the window, "…three hours."
He got a hold on her waist and in under a second he had her lying on top of him, Caroline gasped and held onto his bare chest. "Then I have more than enough time to spend touching you," he said, his hands travelling under her jumper and going up and down her back till he felt goose bumps "kissing you," his lips found hers in a passionate kiss, he took his time enjoying the taste of her lips, biting on her upper lip as Caroline hummed in satisfaction, her hands now making their way down his chest.
"And do you have time to listen to me, oh almighty king?" she smirked down at him, resting her forehead on his as she caressed his abs.
"I'm a man of many talents love, I thought you knew that. I am more than capable to do more than one thing at the same time," he whispered in her ear unclasping her bra.
Caroline rolled her eyes, "well you should know that even though we surprised the media with the announcement, everyone is excited and happy about a Klaroline relationship."
Klaus stopped his movements and smiled at the face Caroline gave him, so he kept moving his hands around her upper body in his way to find her breasts.
"About what did you say?"
"Klaroline" she said simply.
"Klaroline?" he repeated as a question, "Is that…"
"…A combination of our names yes. Apparently that's how people call our ship" she was trying not to laugh at the face he was making, he knew that. He sighed, standing up and taking Caroline with him as she settled her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She started leaving small kisses there and he groaned, in pleasure this time.
"To be honest I don't think I want to hear what that means or what the crazy things fans say." He opened the door to the bathroom with one hand while keeping Caroline's body pressed against his with the other one.
"You know, there is some interesting stuff out there that you might like."
Klaus laughed as Caroline giggled.
"I really don't want to talk about fanfiction or tumblr anymore, once was more than enough. I'm going to take a shower."
"Really?" Caroline wondered, "and when are you going to let me go?"
"Never, you are taking a shower with me."
Thanks for reading!
There was a reference to a movie I really love, if you catched it I'm high fiving you from here ;)
Have a good dayy!
