Her head shot up when she heard the door swing open and Klaus stood there looking slightly flushed and like he would be out of breath if he wasn't in such great shape. Caroline sat there mouth agape as he walked over to her taking her hands in his making her stand to face him. Klaus was sure the temperature in the room rising even with the cold outside.
"I don't know what to say," she said looking down at their hands touching so intimately. His right hand let go of hers to travel up her side gliding up to cup her face and make her face him. "Just say it's me, that's all." He whispered his breath feathering on her face making her eyes flutter closed.
She could feel him, smell him it all seemed do real. Like those dreams one doesn't want to wake up from and she really didn't want to wake up. "Caroline?" he asks worriedly thinking he might have done wrong by her and their blossoming friendship.
She looked up into his eyes her own searching his for what he wasn't sure. "That was real?" she asked their smiles growing with equal measure as he nods. She reaches around her left hand still in his attaching itself to his neck to kiss him softly.
His hand leaves hers trailing down her hips puling her closer. Klaus' other hand was doing wonders on her headache as he runs his fingers through her hair. She moans and he smiles into her lips their noses touching until his cologne becomes too much for her senses and she has to sneeze.
Knocking their heads together as she manages to cover her mouth with her hand she blushes hiding her face in her hands and turning away from him. Caroline apologizes through her hands hearing him chuckle behind her as he wraps his arms around her waist so her back is to his chest. He nuzzles her neck inhaling her enjoying the moment, "Its fine Love." Klaus says to Caroline as she turns to face him once more still beet red arms crossed and smiling moronically she can only assume. "I kind of deserved the bump in the head. I forgot the movies and tools." He says jokingly and she swats his chest. She bites her lip nervously when he takes her hand in his kissing the back of it his eyes never leaving hers.
And then she wakes up on her bed, it was all a dream. She looks at the bottle by her bedside night time cold and flu she dreamt the whole thing. She goes to move but then she feels it, the warmth spread through her waist looking down she sees an arm wrapped around her.
Hours Before
Klaus walked in and saw her slumped in her chair her spoon hanging from her mouth at first he thought something was terribly wrong. Then he heard her snore loudly she turned trying to get more comfortable in her chair making him smirk as he closed the door. He walked over to her to make sure she really was just resting taking the bowl of soup from her lap along with the spoon in her mouth and setting it on the table.
He lifted her up in his arms hearing her whine quietly against his chest he kissed the top of her head carrying her to her bed once more placing her on top of the sheets. Klaus then removed his coat setting it by the kitchen as he went to lock the door and call his brother that he wouldn't be making it back to work but that he was fine.
He then wrapped the sheets around her as she cuddled up into a ball on her right side facing him he ran his shaky hand through his hair. Watching her sleep it felt strange he thought about leaving until he heard her whisper his name. Klaus leaned forward thinking she was waking up feeling nervous about being caught watching her sleep. Somehow it felt more insulting if he went home though.
He grabbed her hand in his running his fingers over her smooth skin wondering how anyone could be so soft. A yawn escaping his lips as he watched her sleep he felt peace. She whimpered in her sleep tears coming from her closed eyes he wasn't sure if he should try to wake her. "Klaus," she cried again and he shook her, "Caroline Love wake up. It's just a dream."
Her eyes open partially, "Klaus, I think I took too much. Crazy dreams." she says looking from him to the bottle by her bed. He had to agree considering what he had witnessed, "Hey hold on to me." he whispers running his fingers down the side of her face. "Lie with me." she says pulling his arm so he stands crawling over her slightly and climbing into the sheets with her. He wraps his arms around her as she drifts back to sleep Klaus soon finds his sleep his nose buried in her sweet smelling hair. They could talk tomorrow.
