She Drive's Me Crazy

'She drives me crazy, Uh uh, Like no-one else, Uh uh, She drives me crazy, And I can't help myself.'

Niklaus Mikaelson loved Caroline Forbes, there was no doubt about it. But there were times when she drove him completely out of his mind.

Like right now.

She insisted on helping the Lockwood mutt with his little pack problem in North Carolina (the wolves were experiencing some difficulties with a large coven of vampires that had decided to settle in the area), while he wanted nothing to do with his first hybrid and his little band of followers. Tyler was her former boyfriend after all and despite his claims that he was happy with that she-wolf twit, Klaus could see the way he still looked at Caroline.

And while he could understand it - Caroline was utter perfection no matter what she claimed - that doesn't mean he has to like it. Wolves can be territorial animals and the instinct is only amplified by his vampire side.

Insanely jealous? No. Klaus knew that Caroline was his just as much as he was hers, but he had always been rather possessive of his relationships and everyone who knows him is well aware of that fact. He trusts her more than anyone, but he doesn't hold much confidence in the Lockwood boy.

These opinions had been voiced many times in the event that Tyler decided to grace them with his presence (although it was usually when he wanted something). And while Caroline's faith in people was always strong -one of her many virtues he adored because, let's face it, without it they would probably not be where they are today- sometimes it came with a set of blinders that made her oblivious to the not so wholesome intentions of others.

Not to mention her inherent need to always put herself smack dab in the middle of dangerous situations at the first cry of help.

He was going to have his eternity cut out for him with his stubborn baby vampire.

"Nik, please! They need help!" She pleaded from her space on the couch. She sat on her knees with her hands grasping the pillow in her lap, while Klaus tried to pace away his frustration in front of the fireplace.

"I don't see how any of this is our responsibility, love." He replied curtly.

"You know why! Tyler is my friend and he asked for my help. I can't just ignore that. Besides, this sounds like a serious situation, people could get hurt." She insisted.

"You mean Tyler could get hurt." He mocked gruffly, his fists clenching at his side. Caroline rolled her eyes in response.

"Among a bunch of other people, yes he could, but that isn't the point! What if a fight breaks out between them, huh?"

"Then I'm sure my hybrid and his little tart will round up his pack to fight the good fight just like they did with me." Klaus walked towards the bar and poured scotch from a crystal decanter into a glass tumbler.

"Um, I'm not sure if you recall, but they all ended up dead. You killed them. Remember?" Caroline said, exasperation filled her voice. She was tempted to rip the drink out of his hand and down it herself. She may be strong-willed and stubborn, but Klaus was a worthy adversary and he had many more years of experience in talking another persons argument into the ground.

Klaus scrunched his face as if trying to remember. "Huh? That did happen didn't it? Well I guess that's bad luck for them then. Should have chosen a better alpha." He uttered flippantly.

"Tyler is my age, Nik! He doesn't have the knowledge you do when it comes to fighting off his enemies, especially when they're vampires. He is the only one in his pack, the rest are just human most of the time." Caroline got up off the couch and stepped into Klaus's path. "You know that they'll loose. They aren't strong enough to take on vampires when it's not a full moon, not to mention an entire coven that might want them dead!"

Klaus stood before her, still unconvinced that they should be part of this. Caroline quickly grabbed his arm as he went to turn away, and decided on another course of action. "Even if you don't care about helping them, won't you do it for me, Nik?"

She stepped closer into his space while keeping one hand on his shoulder and the other clutching at the collar of his dark gray henley. Klaus pursed his lips at her actions. He knew what she was doing but whether or not he could resist was to be determined. Nothing mattered more to him than making sure Caroline was happy, but sometimes that urge came back to bite him in the ass.

"Caroline.." He growled from between his gritted teeth. Caroline slid the hand on his shoulder up his neck to tangle her fingers in his soft dark blonde curls.

"Come on. If we can settle this before a fight breaks out then there won't be a huge mess to clean up afterwards. And," She murmured, leaning up to his ear. "The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can come back home and do anything you want."

Klaus pulled back to look into her true blue eyes, intrigue beginning to sparkle in his. "Anything, love?" The a smirk started to pull at the edge of his lips. Caroline narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"What do you want?" She cautioned. What was she getting herself into?

Klaus shrugged. "You."

"Done." She replied immediately.

"Naked." He quipped a second later.

Caroline tilted her head to the side. "Not surprising...Okay." She wasn't going to turn down hot hybrid-vampire sex. They do it all the time, and considering all the things he could have asked, this didn't seem like a remotely rough deal.

"While I paint you." He finished with a full blown smirk on his face.

...She spoke too soon.

Caroline could feel her blush building up as she thought about his request. Being naked while they made love was one thing, but the thought of sitting completely nude for hours on end while he stared at her bare form was a little unnerving.

"What's wrong, love?" He inquired innocently, his finger twirling a silky curl on her shoulder. "Not up to it?"

Caroline's head snapped up at the comment as her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her eyes narrowed at the challenge in his voice, her competitive side coming out.

"Of course I can do it." She declared with her chin up. Klaus eyed her fondly as she stepped up to him.

"So that's a yes then? I help the mutt's pack and you let me have your glorious figure all to myself, to do as I please?" Things were quickly heating up between them in the best way.

"I-I y-yes." She stuttered at the image he painted in her head. He was pulling the strings now. She could feel the heat pooling in her belly as he leaned in to place nips and kisses along her jaw. Her breath hitched when his teeth gently tugged her ear.

"Then I guess that means.." he trailed his lips across the smooth skin of her cheek, drawing closer to her mouth. Her lips were tingling in anticipation. Just when he met the corner of her mouth, Caroline felt him pull away. "...we should go and pack. We'll leave in the morning."

Klaus pecked her on the cheek and made his way out of his study towards their bedroom. Caroline stood stunned where he left her before groaning in frustration.

He really drove her crazy sometimes.


So I'm thinking about doing a part 2 where they deal with the vampire/werewolf shenanigans, and Klaus does his Klaus thing. Let me know what you think!

Hope you enjoy! Leave a review, and feel free to make a request. :)
