enniec123 asked: Hi, Caroline comparing klaus to an onion and explaining the whole layers thing from shrek
His affronted expression was enough to send her into giggles. To be fair, she'd drunk enough rum to get even Elijah tipsy, but the sheer offense Klaus showed at being forced to watch a cartoon with her was hilarious regardless of her blood alcohol level. Yet, he didn't budge from where she was cuddled against him on the couch. A gasp of realization lit her entire being with joy. "Oh my god, you're such an onion!"
"I beg your pardon?" Had he loved her a bit less, she'd surely be in danger. As it was, he only seemed supremely annoyed. "I'm watching the bloody movie with you, and you're insulting me by comparing me to produce?"
Grabbing his hand to toy with his fingers, Caroline grinned up at him. "That's exactly my point! On the outside, you're this hard, scruffy jerk that would ward off everyone if you could. But I got under your skin," she explained, "and with each layer you let me peel away, the closer I get to the soft, gooey center. Wait, now I'm thinking of Twinkies." She shook her head to get back on track. "But you'll love this movie because Shrek's an onion, too! And I'm your Fiona. Oh!" Another gasp escaped her as Klaus eyed her warily. "I totally know what we're going to be for Halloween now."
"You are NOT dressing me as an ogre, love," he warned, even as his arm tightened around her - she hadn't even committed to staying in New Orleans for the whole summer, and now she was planning Halloween. Parsing that out was a job for Sober Caroline, though.
Drunk Caroline had a much better idea. "There is a hot, non-ogre Shrek in the sequel," she teased, her hand flirtatiously wandering up his arm. "We can watch it next…"
Sighing, Klaus pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. "One monster at a time, my love."
