Klaus and Hayley + care

Klaus, Elijah and Hayley were sitting in the living room in an awkward silence, three of them with a book open in their laps, but none of them really reading. Hayley looked up at Klaus, who pretended to not notice her.

Hayley sighing looked back to the book, she let go a faint moan if pain and placed her hand over her belly. She expected some reaction for Klaus, she wanted him to care even if it was simply ask her if she was okay.

But Klaus remained silent looking to his book, he knew that she would be fine, that his brother Elijah would take care of her…and probably she would prefer Elijah over him to look out for her. Elijah raised his eyes from the book to look at Hayley, she looked back at him.

Elijah remained silent as well, he wanted to give his brother the chance to care…he has already waited to long to Klaus' redemption, and now, with his feelings for Hayley he was the one stopping his brother from being truly happy.

He should've noticed before, the way Klaus looks at Hayley especially when she doesn't notice, and the sadness on Hayley when Klaus ignores her. Elijah stood up and walked to the kitchen, leaving Klaus and Hayley alone…even if he couldn't be with Hayley, he still wanted her to be happy as much as he wanted his brother happiness.

Hayley placed the book next to her carefully, closing it. Klaus looked at her for one second, but before she could notice he looked back at his book. Hayley annoyed by Klaus' indifference crossed her arms over her chest, staring at all the books in the library.

"There is anything wrong, love?" Klaus asked her already sensing Hayley's mood, she looked at him and snuffed "Anything." she said to him with a fake smile and looked back at the books "Not that you really care." she mumbled under her breath.

Klaus ignored her last comment and his eyes remained in the book in front of him, she wanted him to say something about it, to care. "Well, I'll go to The Abattoir." Hayley said standing up, she would never go there…with Marcel and all those vampires who want her dead.

Klaus knew she didn't mean it and didn't even bothered to look at her. Hayley walked to the hall and grabbed her coat "Goodbye." she said opening the door and seconds later closing it. As soon as Klaus heard the sound of the door closing he stood up and ran outside.

He saw Hayley walked carefree, like she wasn't going to get herself killed. "Come here right now!" Klaus ordered her, but she ignored him, just like he did with her seconds later. He speeded to her and grabbed her arm firmly.

"You're coming with me!" Klaus said, he wouldn't let her put herself in danger, she would be going home with him. "Release me!" she demanded at him, trying to release herself but he was far stronger than her.

"No!" he growled and forced her to walk to the house "So, know you care?!" she snapped at him, and he released her in that second. She took a step away from him as soon she found herself free.

"You have barely looked at me this lasts months and in the second I walk through that door, you come here all overprotective and worried. You didn't care before, don't bother in doing it now!" she snapped at him, she has been dying to remonstrate him his indifference.

"Why would I care?" he said and she opened her mouth to say something, but she wasn't able to say not even a single word. She looked down and felt her eyes watering. "As soon as you were in danger you would call my brother!" he snapped at her and she raised her head to look at him.

"If I call him for help it's because I know I can count with him. All you care it's you precious New Orleans!" she snapped at him screaming, "I want New Orleans to make it safe for you and our child!" she snapped at her, screaming as well.

Hayley's eyes softened as soon the words 'our child' left his lips. "Then, why do you act like you don't care?" she asked him quietly, Klaus grew closer to her and placed his hand in her shoulders. "You love my brother and he loves you. It's better if I stay away." Klaus said as he let his hands run down Hayley's arms.

Hayley looked down at his words, love, there was such a strong word for her. She liked Elijah, and his kidness and nobility…but she knew she didn't love him. "What if I don't love him?" Hayley mumbled, raising her head and her eyes met Klaus'.

He was surprised by her words, he never expected her to say something like that, especially in front of him. "You don't?" he asked her in a whisper "I don't." she answered in a whisper as well. "I want you to care, Klaus. We got in this together, we're in this together now." Hayley said, taking Klaus' hand and placing it above her belly.
