My Vampire Heart
Request from kissesfromruya : Can you write a drabble where Caroline finds out about Klaus having sex with Hayley so she tries to make Klaus jealous (possibly with another guy?)Caroline wasn't entirely sure why she was angry at him. He had a right to sleep with whoever he wanted, right? But did it really have to be Hayley of all people? It was bad enough that she still had her suspicions about the wolf and Tyler, and not only that, Hayley had snapped her neck! Oh, but he cared about Caroline. Seriously?
If she had been thinking rationally in that moment, she would have realized that Klaus had no idea about what Hayley had done to her, and it wasn't a personal vendetta against her. But she wasn't thinking rationally.
"Do I really have to come with you Stefan?"
Stefan just gave her a look, and she climbed into the car, crossing her arms and glaring at him. A similar situation had taken place two days earlier, and they had discovered a barely clothed Hayley leaving Klaus' mansion.
Stefan's voice broke the silence suddenly as they drove. "We need his help Caroline."
Of course they did. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, no matter how hard she tried to do things on her own, there was no escaping that they needed him. But was there any real reason that she had to face him? She was furious with him. Livid. Where were all his pretty words now?
Oh, she had felt special being the only one that could hold his attention. Had felt a sense of power that she held the most powerful creature in the world's heart. That she was the one that could distract him. That she was first for once. And there was a security in their relationship that she had never had with anyone else that he didn't seem attracted to anyone else, that she was the only one for the first time in her life.
But she was always second, wasn't she? Caroline looked over at Stefan, the wheels in her head turning, and he returned her gaze, nervousness setting into his features. She would show Klaus that she didn't need him.
Klaus let them in, leading them to his living room, and Caroline sat next to Stefan immediately. She leaned against him. She smiled up at him when he talked. She even went so far as to place a hand on his knee. All to not a single visible reaction from Klaus.
She couldn't even honestly say that she knew what the two men were talking about when Klaus held a hand up, stopping Stefan's stream of words as he turned his glance on Caroline. "Whatever you're doing love, it's not going to work."
She felt a flash of anger at his words, because it was supposed to work. He was supposed to feel how she was feeling. Then the sting of tears filled her eyes and she stormed angrily from the room.
"What are you doing Klaus?"
Klaus turned his gaze from the door where Caroline had exited back to his old friend. "I'm not sure I know what you mean."
Stefan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before replying. "It did work, what she was doing, and you know it."
"It doesn't matter Stefan. She doesn't care about me."
"If she didn't care, she wouldn't be jealous. Now, are you going to go after her, or am I?"
Caroline leaned against the car, angry tears streaming steadily down her face, when she heard the crunch of gravel behind her. "I'm fine, Stefan. Finish talking to him so you can take me home."
"Caroline-" She spun with a gasp at his quiet voice, his apologetic gaze looking back at her. "You have to know it meant nothing to me. It was a fuck sweetheart."
She nodded, finally realizing the feeling that was bubbling in her, hurting her heart. Jealousy. She was jealous. And she knew that she couldn't let him do something like this ever again. Caroline strode to him, hands grabbing his necklaces to pull his head down to hers. "Don't let it happen again." She kissed him then, and he took a moment to respond before his arms finally wrapped around her, holding her tightly against him. Their lips moved together, learning each other. Klaus pulled away first, and they were both breathing heavily.
"It won't happen again Caroline. You have my word."
