Paris was a beautiful city, the perfect blend of historical and modern designs. They city was teeming with culture, passion, love and adventure. Caroline instantly fell in love with its little cafés and homemade confectionaries. Her eyes lighting up at every little boutique store she found.

Klaus watched her in wonderment as she took in the sights he showed her and the places he introduced her to. Caroline was entranced by the city; Klaus was entranced by her. Everything with Caroline was new and exciting and even though Klaus had seen Paris before, many times in fact, with her it felt like he was experiencing it for the first time.

A smile tugged at his lips as he saw the excited one on hers. His eyes amused as he watched her emerge herself in the culture and the people and the ways of life. He always hoped she would one day let him show her this, never did he expect it to make him feel this alive.

They stayed in Paris for weeks, Caroline wanting to spend as much time in this city before returning home and Klaus wanting to give her everything she desired and more.

He picked them out the finest hotel, complete with silk furnishings and antique artworks. Klaus showed her all his favourite places, the museums and galleries and of course the little places he had discovered on his travels which weren't listed in the guide books. Caroline held his hand throughout it all, her eyes darting rapidly to take everything in.

One morning as the sun streamed in through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the room in a warm glow was when everything changed.

Klaus awoke as the light hit his face, his arm seeking out the baby vampire by his side. It was her giggle that caused him to open his eyes, immediately gazing upon her own blue orbs. She was breath-taking like this, carefree and playful, all her worries a million miles away in a small town that would never be good enough for her.

Caroline's hair was curly and wild from where Klaus' hands had been fisted into it the night before. Her eyes wide and sparkling, her plump lips a little swollen from his kisses. She was lying on her stomach, rested up on her elbows so she was looking down at him. The white sheet that covered her was tucked around her gently, collected at her chest. Caroline's hand was on Klaus' chest, her fingers tracing his bird and feather tattoo absentmindedly.

Klaus' hand reached out to stroke her cheek, a smile on his face at the realisation that right now they were in their own little version of the perfect eternity, and what an eternity it was.

"I realised something last night." She spoke softly and Klaus' tone mirrored hers.

"What's that, love?"

Caroline's smile grew as she leaned down to kiss his chest once, "I'm in love with you."

Klaus' hand froze on her cheek, his eyes searching hers for any signs of dishonesty. He found nothing but love reflected back at him, his heart clenching - as it always did around her - at the sight.

"And I am in love with you, Caroline." She already knew it but that didn't make it any less amazing to hear.

"Sorry it took me so long to figure out."

Klaus chuckled, pulling her firmly on top of him, "Better late than never, sweetheart." He drawled as he kissed her, his hand slipping under the sheet she clutched.

Rome was indescribable. A city that stood the test of time, Caroline couldn't help but wonder if her and Klaus would be like that one day. A thousand years from now, as the world changed and grew, if they would still be like they were now. Together and in love and happy. Rome was steeped in history and Klaus made sure to show her every inch of it.

They walked hand in hand along the cobbled back streets, the sunset fading above them. Caroline sampled every local cuisine she could, loving one little bakery that in her opinion made the best desserts she had ever tasted. Klaus showed her every famous building, telling her every story because he was actually around at the time.

They danced in the pouring rain in the middle of the night, the city still alive with lights and music. Caroline taking in every sensation Klaus gave to her. She was made of this, he thought, she was made to travel, to experience, to live. It was only as Caroline intertwined her fingers with his, her head on his shoulder that he realised perhaps she was made for him too.

Klaus took her to dinner every night, always in a new location, wanting her to see as much as she could. They drank champagne that had been bottled for decades, it was their thing after all. Caroline indulged in the feel of it all, the taste of the champagne, the history. Klaus indulged himself in her.

It was on their last night in Rome that another milestone in their relationship came. Klaus was dressed in his best tux, the one he wore when they first danced together, while Caroline looked like the Queen he always saw her as in her satin dusty pink dress. Klaus would never tire of looking at her, of knowing she belonged to him.

He didn't take her to a restaurant, instead leading her to one of his favourite places in Rome. It was a small spot on the edge of the city, overlooking a river as gondolas floated past. Klaus had thought of everything, a blanket and basket already laid out for them before they arrived.

Caroline didn't stop smiling for the whole evening. Klaus had never been more nervous.

"Caroline, you're my soul mate, my humanity, my light and my love. Will you marry me?" his voice was strong and sure as he got down on one knee.

Caroline's eyes were swimming with tears as she saw the ring, a beautiful diamond with a silver band. She smiled at how well Klaus knew her tastes.

"Yes."

That simple word had never felt so good as Klaus placed the ring on her finger, gathering her in his arms.

If this is what true happiness felt like he would welcome this feeling forever.

Tokyo was different. It was alive with music, people and technology. A stark contrast with Rome which was quaint and picturesque, Tokyo though definitely had its own appeal.

Caroline immediately got swept up in the flare of the modern city, keeping close to Klaus as he guided her through the hustle and bustle of the busy metropolis. Tokyo seemed to hum, no corner was quiet or undervalued, not even at night when the city seemed to evolve to suit a different population.

Caroline fit in effortlessly, finding her ground amongst the masses in the middle of the day just as easily as she did in the nightlife. Klaus watched her as she fell further in love with the city; he fell further in love with her. After 100 years of marriage the idea that he could love her anymore never ceased to amaze him, but then again after 100 years neither did she.

He watched her laugh and dance, her eyes focused on him like he was the centre of her world. She was definitely the centre of his. Eternity didn't seem long enough anymore, not amount of time did, selfishly he wanted her until the earth died. He wanted her long after it burned, even if that meant they were the only ones left.

He took her everywhere, down every back street and into every noodle bar. She wanted the world and Klaus made himself a promise to give it to her. Caroline laughed at that, saying there was no need for him to woo her when he already had her. Klaus wasn't wooing her for that, it was for the look on her face as they explored a new city. The glint in her eyes as he showed her another wonder in the world, the smile she gave him that she never gave to anyone else.

It was about half 1 in the morning on a hot Tuesday when Caroline pushed him into their hotel room, her lips devouring his with a hunger. After 100 years together Klaus knew this dance well, but the feel of it never lessened. It was like an addiction that never dulled.

They spent the rest of the morning pleasuring each other in every way they knew how. Caroline caressed him with her tongue as Klaus mapped out her body with his fingers. He would never get bored of touching her, every time felt like the first time. Every moan she gave him confirming how much she loved him.

They made love passionately, time being of no consequence when you have an eternity. Gasps, moans and screams echoing throughout the room as they wrapped themselves up in each other. Klaus kissed every part of her skin, making sure to pay attention to the spots he knew she loved. Caroline returned the favour, her fingers marking his body invisibly tying herself to him just as deeply as she had at their wedding.

"Happy anniversary, love." He whispered against her ear as they cuddled up with each other, satisfied and exhausted.

Caroline smiled, "Here's to a 100 more years together, Nik."

No, he thought as she drifted off to sleep encased in his arms, here's to the rest of eternity together.
