He was sitting in his living room as he usually did on Friday nights, with a glass of blood laced bourbon in one hand and his sketchbook in the other. The house was quiet, for once lacking the dulcet tones of Rebekah screeching at either him or Elijah. She had mentioned something to him about going out with that one human. In fact the only human in the Mystic Falls bunch. Not that he cared about him, for Klaus humans were used primarily for snacking purposes. Although he couldn't really annoy her about her 'date' because every time he did she would bring up a certain feisty blonde baby vampire.

Caroline Forbes. Now there was someone he didn't quite understand. One day he was being lured into another plot to kill him by her and the next she was saving his life by pulling out the shards of the white oak stake that Silas had stabbed him with. She was the most confusing kind of woman. He could tell that deep down she felt something for him but she was too damn stubborn to show it, let alone tell him of all people. So for now he had reserve him to the quiet lifestyle of 'wooing' said baby vampire. If only his enemies could see him now, staring at countless sketches of the beautiful blonde and planning all of the places he would take her once she gave into him. All the things he would do with her, do to her for that matter.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing on the table next to him. He set down the sketch pad and grabbed the phone expecting Elijah to be calling him about some sort of new threat or some other thing he had no interest in, however when he looked at the name on the screen he was pleasantly surprised at what he saw. Smirking he tapped the phone to answer it and brought it up to his ear.

"Caroline darling, what brings you to be calling me at this hour? Surely there is something better for you to be doing." He could make out muffled voices in the background, almost as if she was covering the mouth piece with her hand.

"Klaus I need your help," she whispered and his whole body tensed. "Listen, I can't talk now but will you come to the grill?" she sounded desperate and he knew she would have to be to be calling him of all people. "Please," she added softly. He was already on his feet shrugging his jacket on.

"I'll be there in ten minutes sweetheart," he told her and she breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him and then hung up hastily. Immediately his mind went to the worst case scenario. Maybe there were hunters or she had been kidnapped or there were wolves there. He had no idea but all he knew was that he had to get to her. Fast.

She picked up her shot glass and slammed back yet another shot.

"Wow you can really hold your liquor," the guy next to her said, slightly in awe.

"Yeah," she agreed in a bored tone. Could this guy seriously not take a hint? She had tried everything in the book to get him away from her. She had said she had a boyfriend and he had asked her where he was. She played the blatant 'I'm not interested' card, he stayed, pretending not to have heard. She had told him that if her boyfriend showed up he would rip him limb from limb for bothering her, he claimed to be able to hold his own in a fight. She had even played the lesbian card once after he had insisted that she couldn't have a boyfriend because she was alone at a bar. So finally, in mature Caroline fashion, she resorted to getting shit-faced drunk as fast as she possibly could. And yet, here they were, talking about how she could hold her liquor.

"Look Brandy," she said turning to him. Damn the town of mystic falls with their stupid vervain water making her unable to compel him to just leave her alone. Damn her for that matter for being too stubborn to just leave.

"It's Randy." He corrected her

"I really don't care." She was about to lose it and just go all 'hey I'm a vampire' on him before the doors to the grill opened and a familiar musky scent invaded the room. "Look, just so we're clear. I did warn you." She told him as she caught Klaus' eye and flagged him over to where she was.

Randy looked at the hybrid, taking in his build and puffed out his chest. Ok sure, he was more of the football player type build, making him look more muscular than the thousand year old hybrid, but she had seen Klaus shirtless and she could confirm that the hybrid had some serious abs going on there. Not to mention the whole supernatural strength thing. By the time Klaus had made his way over to them, he shot Caroline a confused look before she surprised him and practically bounced over to him. She flung her arm around his neck and leaned in as if she was about to kiss him, but when her lips were barely brushing his she spoke.

"I need your help, just please go with it," she held his gaze pleadingly and he nodded once imperceptibly before he pulled away. She turned back to the boy she was with and wrapped an arm around Klaus' waist pulling herself closer to him. He responded immediately by throwing his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to his chest. "Randy this is my boyfriend," she said putting a hand to his chest, and Klaus had to physically restrain himself from looking shocked. He smirked at the boy who reminded him a bit of that Lockwood pup.

"Hello mate," he said with just a hint of malice in his voice.

"So you're the boyfriend," Randy retorted obviously sizing up Klaus. He scoffed and looked back to Caroline. "You could do better."

"With what? Someone like you? The guy who has been hitting on me nonstop for the past 2 hours despite the fact that I told you more than once I was already taken?" She rolled her eyes and gave a signature Caroline scoff.

"You were hitting on my girl?" Klaus asked tilting his head towards the boy. "After she told you about me none the less, did she happen to mention that I'm the jealous type?" It was a not so obvious threat but you would probably have to be a moron to not realize the implications behind his words.

"Oh so you're jealous of me?" Randy replied cockily, "that's so cute. But to be fair I didn't want to steal her or anything, she was just a hot single girl who I thought I would bring home for the night." Caroline felt Klaus tense beside her and he took a step closer, letting himself out of her grasp. He loomed over Randy threateningly. Honestly, she had called him in hopes that at one glance at the man Randy would back off and then she could drink alone peacefully, but things were quickly going south and she could sense the anger rolling off of Klaus.

"If you ever talk to her, or even look at her again then I swear that you will have me to answer to." A flicker of fear went through Randy's eyes before he glanced at Caroline, scoffed and walked away.

"Coward," she muttered under her breath before turning back to Klaus who still looked like he wanted to kill someone. He was glaring in the direction that Randy had exited. "Klaus," her voice was soft as she reached out and rested her hand on his arm. He turned back towards her with that fire still in his eyes.

"I should kill him," he growled.

"Klaus, it's fine, he wasn't going to hurt me," she tried to reassure him.

"He could have," she sighed and stepped closer to him, resting her palm on his cheek. His eyes widened as he slightly leaned into her touch instinctively.

"I'm fine," she told him again more forcefully. "Thank you from coming, I'm sorry that I used you again." Her voice was shy and she looked down, pulling her hand from his cheek, dropping it to her side.

"I can be your fake boyfriend anytime love," he told her with a smirk. She grinned and looked back up to him, her eyes practically twinkling.

"Any chance to prove you're the Alpha Male right?" She replied cheekily, lightly hitting him on the arm. He shrugged and smiled back at her. "Come on, I'll buy you a drink as a thank you for saving me, again."

"Wait so you actually met her?" Ok, Caroline would be the first to admit that she was just a little bit tipsy. But it made this whole thing easier, being with him and still being able to keep her head. Normally when she was with him it was so hard to think, so hard to concentrate on anything but that overwhelming presence he possessed.

"Yes love, I did. However I don't understand why you're making such a big deal out of it. I met plenty of other more influential people in my days." She snickered, he sounded like her grandpa when he used to tell her stories about 'the good old days' and 'way back when before you were born'.

"Because Klaus," she put extra emphasis on his name, drawing out the 'L' longer than she needed to. "It's Marilyn Monroe. She's like my idol." When she said 'idol' she raised her hands up to the roof for emphasis. He shook his head at her. "I mean she was blonde," she told him, in case he had forgotten. "And I'm blonde." Her eyes were wide and she said it so seriously that he burst into laughter, causing the blonde to pout. Then her face abruptly changed and she looked at him curiously. "So, who else did you meet?" Her eyes were wide. "Did you meet Jack and Rose?"

"Who?" He asked, he was very much enjoying drunk Caroline.

"You know! Jack and Rose," She made a gesture with her hands and when he shook his head at her as a way of telling her that he had no idea what she was talking about she sighed dramatically and turned more towards him. "From Titanic?" She looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to say something.

"I think you've had enough to drink for tonight sweetheart," he told her as he took the glass she was bringing up to her lips away. "Those two never existed." He added and she looked sad for a moment before she perked up again, straightening up in her seat and he couldn't help but smile at her again.

"Can I poke your dimples?" He chuckled.

"Alright love, I think you've passed the acceptable amount of alcohol intake for a vampire about an hour ago."

"I can hold my liquor, thank you very much Mr. Mikaelson." She raised her chin up stubbornly tossing her hair back.

"I can see that," he said as he slid off the bar stool. Her gaze grew panicked and she grabbed his arm before he could go anywhere.

"Where are you going?" She looked so adorably frightened and he just shook his head with a small smile.

"Nowhere love," he reassured her and her face relaxed. He held out his hand to help her off her own stool and she took it, sliding down. Once her feet hit the ground she swayed a little bit.

"Whoa," she said looking around still clutching his hand. "When did the room get all...fuzzy?" She blinked a couple times and he laughed again, looping his arm around her middle. He picked her up effortlessly and carried her out. She made an adorable squeak when he first picked her up and struggled to get out of his grasp but once he got the two of them out the door he scooped her up bridal style, earning himself another adorable noise of surprise.

She looped her arms around his neck and threw her head back so she could look up at the sky. Playfully, she kicked her legs a bit and Klaus chuckled. "You know I never get to be like this" she said "Nobody ever has fun anymore. It's all serious business all the time. Everything is always about Elena. Elena this Elena that, which Salvatore should Elena choose, should Elena take the cure, oh no Klaus is using Elena's blood to make hybrids. Who cares?!" She yelled into the night. Klaus stayed quiet, she never talked to him like this and he had to admit that he liked it. It was refreshing for her to finally be honest about something with him. "Everyone is so focused on Elena all the time. I'm never the one that people worry about. I'm always second. Damon used me to get to her, Stefan wanted her over me, Bonnie has always liked her better. Even you." She got really quiet all of the sudden, real pain seeping into her voice. Still, he said nothing, letting her vent as he carried her towards her house. She leaned her head to rest on his shoulder. "You always chose her. When Alaric kidnapped me to get to her you went to make sure Elena stayed safe. And I get it, I get that you did it because you were lonely and wanted hybrids but I'm lonely too. My mom is never around. My dad is dead, all my friends are sick of me." He felt a sudden wetness on his shirt and it took him a moment to realize that she was crying. He stopped mid stride and sighed as he lightly set her down so that he could hook at her. He held her face in his hands, hating every single tear that fell from those pretty blue eyes. They seemed out of place somehow on her beautiful, usually bright and cheerful face. She seemed so put together all the time, so happy and care free, but he should have known. It was always the ones who seemed so put together who were so broken on the inside.

"Caroline do you remember what I told you that night at the Gilbert house? After Tyler left?" He asked her and she nodded but he continued anyway. "It was all for you. You have always been my first choice. Elena Gilbert has nothing on you." He brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "A thousand years and I never thought that I would find someone that I could care about as much as I care about you." He paused to give her a hard look. "Do you understand me?" She nodded and took a step forward to lean into his chest. He smiled and pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. She closed her eyes as she rested her head on his chest, moving in as close as she could and wrapping her arms around him.

"I like you," She told him and he laughed again, playing with one of her perfect blonde curls.

"I like you too sweetheart," He told her, "Now let's get you home and into bed."

"Well Mr. Mikaelson," She said, seeming to have gotten her cheeriness back once again. "If I didn't know better than I would say you're trying to seduce me," He scooped her back up again and she tightened her hold around his neck.

"I thought you were too smart for that?" He said and she laughed.

"Well, sometimes I can be a bit stupid," She said with a glint in her eye and he moved to kiss the tip of her nose.

"Not tonight sweetheart, when I ravish you, it will be when you are completely sane of mind." He told her, "Not when you are too drunk to stand." She huffed in annoyance but buried her head in his neck, letting out a content sigh as she did so.
