Klaus knew this was a bad idea from the moment Caroline suggested it. Anything involving Katerina was bound to cause him nothing but trouble. Caroline managed to talk him round though, walking into his study with a bright smile, sitting herself comfortably in his lap. He cursed the power she had over him yet the feeling of her lips on his skin was something he had become addicted too. He had said no at first, she was the Queen of New Orleans after all and people needed to see her as that but then Caroline cut him off with a passionate kiss and a declaration of love on her lips. Safe to say Klaus forgot all about the book in his hands, letting it slip to the floor as he sat her on the desk in front of him and proceeded to ravish her.

That's how he ended up agreeing to let Caroline have a girl's night out with Katerina Petrova.

It was still hard to believe they became friends in the first place. Caroline had shown up on Klaus' doorstep with a weak, human Katherine leaning on her heavily saying she needed to see Elijah.

That's when they learnt of Katherine's fate, being human was killing her and vampire blood just wasn't working. Klaus relented in his pursuit for revenge like he promised and Elijah spent the next few days by Katherine's beside.

No one thought it would work when Elijah fed her his blood as a last resort. Caroline was crying into Klaus' chest and Elijah's eyes were glazed over even though no tears fell.

Then Katherine shot up gasping for breath, the veins under her eyes pulsating. Apparently while normal vampire blood didn't work, Original vampire blood was stronger and older and therefore eradiated the cure from her system.

He should have known then that Katerina would continue to be a thorn in his side. Elijah was smitten with her, which was nothing new and of course he decided to give their relationship another go. With Katherine staying in his home and Caroline occupying his every thought as she agreed to stay in New Orleans for the summer it was evitable that the girls would join forces.

Caroline told him once that she may like Katherine better than Elena because she didn't have drama surrounding her, she was fun and not judgemental and Caroline needed a friend like that.

Truth be told, their friendship was a good thing. Katherine had centuries of practise at defending herself against her enemies and Klaus was glad she was teaching Caroline a few of her tricks. Klaus couldn't watch her every minute of the day, Caroline would kill him, nor could he have a hybrid follow her round without it having the same result.

Klaus didn't trust Katherine with anything though, especially not his Caroline. That was why he was still in his studio, brushing paint onto a canvas at half 1 in the morning waiting for Caroline and Katherine to return to the compound. Elijah had given him a disappointing look and retired to bed a few hours ago.

He was just adding the finishing touches to the canvas when he heard the door opening and a loud thump echoing from downstairs.

He flashed to the hallway to find Katherine on the floor by the door laughing. Caroline was wobbling on her heels next to her, neither of them having noticed Klaus.

"Shhh, Kat!" Caroline giggled as she held out a hand to pull the brunette up, "You'll wake up the boys."

Katherine sat up slowly, kicking her shoes off, "The Original boys!" She giggled loudly and it was clear to Klaus they were both drunk.

Caroline hauled Katherine to her feet, stumbling in the hallway from the effort before noticing Klaus standing by the stairs, "Klaus, you aren't allowed to sneak up on me, remember!" Caroline scolded.

"Someone's in trouble!" Katherine sang and burst out into laughter again.

Klaus was about to respond when Elijah came down the stairs taking in the sight before him, "Katerina, Caroline." He said confused as he looked over to Klaus for an explanation.

"Elijah!" Caroline smiled and Katherine clapped next to her with glee. "You missed it, Katherine went all ninja on these guys earlier. I thought she was going to kill them with a barstool." Caroline said excitedly as her and Katherine started laughing again, leaning on each other for balance.

"What?" Klaus demanded.

"Easy big guy, some of your vampires can't take a hint is all. They were so busy trying to talk to Caroline they didn't notice I had snuck behind them!"

Klaus made a mental note to kill a few vampires tomorrow. He looked over to Elijah for back up.

"Katerina, perhaps we should take you upstairs now." He tried.

Katherine giggled and whispered something to Caroline whose eyes grew wide. "Okay, 'Lijah." She yawned as she stumbled over to him.

Elijah kissed her cheek before picking her up and flashing upstairs with her in his arms. Klaus was still watching Caroline who was swaying on her heels.

"Come on, love, time for bed." Klaus said as he stepped closer to her but Caroline twirled out of his grasp.

"I want to dance, Nik." She giggled as she spun round, her hair fanning out.

Klaus sighed, "You can dance tomorrow."

Caroline ignored him and climbed on the table. Her hands ran through her hair and she swayed her hips, normally this image would arouse him but right now he wanted her to get some sleep.

Caroline stumbled slightly and lost her footing. Klaus flashed over to her, catching her in his arms before she could fall.

As she opened her eyes they were inches apart, "My hero." She giggled as her arms went around his neck.

"Caroline, we should get you to bed before you hurt yourself." Klaus said amused by her carefree attitude.

"Do you want to know a secret?" She asked ignoring his statement, she didn't wait for Klaus to answer before she spoke again, "Elijah and Katherine are having sex."

Klaus nearly dropped her right there. He didn't need to ever know that particular secret.

"We should have sex too." Caroline insisted as her hand dived into the back of his shirt. Klaus almost swore under his breath, he had never seen her this drunk before but it turned out she was still as bluntly honest as never.

"You should probably sleep it off, sweetheart." Klaus said gently. He wanted nothing more than to take her but not while she was drunk. He was old fashioned in that respect.

"Stop being a gentlemen. You're the bad guy!" Caroline protested, "You are meant to ravish me!"

Klaus had to hold back the laughter at her tone, "And I will, sweetheart, as soon as you have slept."

Caroline pouted in his arms as she let Klaus carry her upstairs to their room, "Stupid Original Hybrid." She mumbled into his chest as they entered their room.

Klaus set her down on the bed as he helped her remove her dress.

"So you will get me naked but you won't sleep with me?" Caroline asked and Klaus laughed.

"I figured you would prefer not to sleep in your dress, love."

"Why are you being so stubborn? It's not like it's our first time, Nik. We have lots of sex!" Caroline huffed, "Besides as your Queen I say we need to have sex right now or I might explode."

Klaus smiled and pecked her lips, "If you still feel that way tomorrow then I will happily oblige." He said with a smirk as he slipped one of his shirts over her head.

"Don't make me sort myself out." She threatened and Klaus felt himself growing hard at the thought. A low growl escaped his throat as Caroline threaded her hands through the hair at the nape of his neck. Klaus let her pull him on top of her and didn't protest as she placed kisses on his chest.

He looked down at her curiously as she suddenly stopped her actions, a soft smile on his face as he saw she was asleep. Klaus gently rolled off her before tucking her under the covers and into his arms. Caroline shifted a bit, getting comfy as she hooked a leg across his hips.

"I love you, Klaus." She muttered sleepily and Klaus placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I love you too, Caroline." He said before drifting off to sleep.
