Another little drabble set in a world where everything is Klaroline and nothing hurts.


Caroline deeply exhaled smoothly and slowly, letting herself gently settle into her next series of poses. She had gotten in the habit of practicing yoga every morning just as the sun was rising and the scenic view over the hill morphed into swirling red, pinks, and yellows hues of dawn. Allowing herself to get lost in the rhythmic music of Explosions in the Sky that was floating out through her small speakers, and with her eyes peacefully shut she moved languidly into a headstand position. She wasn't aware of another presence until he made himself known rather bawdily.

"What the bloody hell are you doing Caroline?"

Having her concentration completely broken and heaving a loud, aggravated sigh Caroline opened her eyes and looked up to see the confused and yet amused face of Kol. He was giving her entire body a lecherous glance over as usual and she glared at him from her maintained stance. Despite his disturbance, he surprisingly hadn't scared her into falling over.

"Harnessing my chi," she replied sassily as she lowered her legs down one a time until she was right side up. Kol was still hungrily staring at her and she knew it was because she had forgone wearing a shirt, and opted for her spandex sports bra and cut off yoga pants.

"What do you want?" She asked before moving into child's pose, trying to calm herself down. She hated interruptions during her private time in the early hours. Klaus knew better than to try and disrupt her morning routine despite his loud griping of hating to wake up bed alone in the morning.

"Klaus told me to fetch you for breakfast, apparently it now has to be an early thing," he said disdainfully. Caroline smiled from her position, Klaus had tried to get up at the same time as her for the past week, trying to start his day just as early as her but most days he failed and went right back to bed after her alarm went off. Apparently today wasn't one of those days, however.

"Well, I'm not done yet," she retorted moving into King Pigeon pose while trying to retain focus on her breathing and ignoring Kol's irritating presence in front of her.

"Christ, Caroline, if you get stuck like that I can't help you, Nik will dismember me and than kill me!"

Caroline snickered audibly. Kol had made the tragic mistake of less than innocently touching her last week. She was climbing on the high granite counter to get a mixing bowl from the overhead cabinets in the kitchen to make cupcakes and Kol "helped" her maintain stability by touching her lower back. When Klaus walked in he had not only snapped Kol's neck, but also every bone in each of his hands. Twice.

"Why do you do this to yourself?" He asked in exasperation as he sunk into the ground next to her. Moving into the Scorpion pose she saw the impressed look on his face at her graceful agility.

"Inner peace, flexibility, and it's just fun. It also helps in cheerleading," she answered haughtily.

"What a girl thing to do," he scoffed and laughed mockingly at her.

"You know Kol, girl's find that men doing yoga is unbelievably sexy in this century. It shows them they can be creative and flexible during sex," she deadpanned looking him straight in the eye. Letting herself down once again and sitting on her calves, she saw Kol's eyes widen, the cogs turning quickly in his thick head. Then a wide grin spread across his face.

"Teach me everything."


Twenty minutes later, Caroline had instructed Kol on not only the basic moves and intermediate moves, but advanced as well. He was surprisingly good, not that she would tell him, as his ego would explode. She had him maneuvered into King Pigeon pose when she saw Klaus hiking up the small hill towards them. When he came closer, and saw the contorted position of his younger sibling he let out a gruff chuckle.

"Morning, my love," he said kissing Caroline on the gently cheek as he moved to stand next to her.

"Morning," she chirped back, laughing at the look on his face as he started at Kol, who was now stuck in his position on the ground.

"I was getting worried, when Kol hadn't brought you back for breakfast," he said by way of explanation as to his presence. She laughed lightly; he was always worrying about her, the silly hybrid.

"Hungry?" He asked huskily, circling his arms around her, pulling her lithe figure into his body, his hands teasingly stroking her exposed skin causing her to shiver, despite the warmth of the spring air.

"Famished," she growled back, her own hands sneaking into the back pockets of his dark wash jeans. He loved to tease him back, and she gave as good as she got.

"Not to interrupt this tender moment, but Caroline, darling I'm afraid I'm stuck," Kol grumbled unhappily from the ground. They both looked down at him in shared amusement and pity.

"That's what you get for calling it a girl thing," she shot back spitefully. "I'm sure your smart enough to figure out how to get yourself untangled."

"Caroline!" Kol hollered in protest.

"Sorry, Kol I need breakfast," she taunted as she started to walk down the small hill back to the mansion, with Klaus hot on her heels. She squealed loudly as swept her onto his back in a swift motion, giving her a piggyback ride back to the house. His childlike behavior amused her to no end, as she was the one who usually instigated it between them. In a flash they were back at the mansion.

When Klaus finally deposited her into one of bar stools at the island in the kitchen next the stoic Elijah she was growing curious about breakfast. Usually she was the one to make it after her early workout as he was usually still sleeping and in return he would always make them dinner or lunch.

"Good morning, Elijah," she said amiably kissing his cheek as he read the financial section of the New York Times already dressed in his customary tailored suit despite the early hour and the fact that it was a Sunday.

"Caroline," he answered warmly in response. "What happened to Kol?" He asked confused and glanced out the window outside trying to look for his brother.

"No idea," Caroline said innocently as she shared a devious look with Klaus who served her a plate topped with a hot, fresh Belgian waffle with fresh peaches and whip crème along with a mug of tea. She beamed brightly at him that he remembered her less than typical fruit condiment on waffles. He returned her smile with one of his own, dimples and all. He took the seat next to her and alternately fed and stole off of her plate despite having one of his own.

"Hello brothers, Care," called Rebekah, flouncing into the kitchen wearing last night's clothes and blatantly smelling of a certain Salvatore brother's cologne. While her brothers each gave her an exasperated look, Caroline smiled merrily. She was glad Rebekah and Stefan had made amends as it made her relationship grow on better terms.

"Hey Bekah," Caroline answered with a mouthful of waffle.

"Charming, I can see why my brother is so captivated with you," she drawled teasingly rummaging through the fridge for some juice.

"Where the pest?" She asked unexpectedly, leaning against the counter with her glass. Caroline choked slightly on her mouthful causing Klaus to hit her back lightly. They shared a sheepish glance.

"I think he's caught up in something right now," Caroline remarked coolly. Klaus barked in laughter while the other look at the two in confusion but shook it off quickly as whatever happened to Kol was more than likely deserved. Payback was a bitch after all and Caroline Forbes did it better than anyone.
