The ending is a bit abrupt I will grant you, maybe I'll change that somehow. And yes I used a Delena thing a few times. But there's enough of them to go around, lol
"So, here you are. In college. Building a life for yourself. Plans, a future; things you want." Klaus said over the phone, eyeing the phone as if pointedly staring right in her eye. She shouldn't be there, wherever she was. She shouldn't be waiting for Stefan to come back to her. She shouldn't be sitting there, in denial, becoming someone he didn't know, and losing the grip on herself, the woman he loved. He inhaled and kept from saying those things, knowing he would have the opportunity to tell her as best as he could later. She didn't want to hear his words, and so she didn't have to.
"I don't know what I want now." She replied smally. Klaus blinked and stopped short, freezing in the middle of that bar. Caroline Forbes, always with a plan, and she didn't know what her plan was going to be? Something was definitely very wrong.
"Yes you do." He said smoothly, beginning to walk again. "I know you want those children. And if you need to bring them here, to New Orleans to keep them safe, the door will always be open to them. I know you know, you want to be happy. And love, I hope he makes you happy but I know he won't. He's not enough for you. It's not my place to tell you but that's what I think. I know that you want a beautiful future, to be chairman of the mystic falls beautification committee and director of the policeman's yearly ruffle. And maybe those positions, that power is still in your beloved small town. But it's also here, by my side, if you want it. And Caroline, I'm not saying this because the window's closing. You will always be welcome. My heart will always be yours, and I will always be waiting for you." Klaus took a deep breath, and let himself relax for a moment, before bracing himself to be scolded. Maybe she would accept his painting of her future, maybe she wouldn't. But all those words came out so fast he could barely catch them long enough to say them properly. And so the silence stretched on.
"However long it takes, right?" Caroline asked. Klaus smiled.
"Yes. However long it takes." He replied. More silence came and he almost sat down to wait it out.
"I love you." Caroline said. His gasp was audible enough he heard her chuckle slightly. "I love you." She repeated.
"Caroline." Klaus whispered and said the only three words that were banging around in his head. "Come to me."
"I'm on my way." She replied. The call ended and Klaus stared at the phone as if it just turned to gold. Staring ahead he put the phone in his jacket, uncaring if Stefan ever got the bloody thing back.
Forever had just begun.
