Pairing: Klaus/Tyler (M/m) ping pong paddle

2 am
Freya realized that Keelin was coming over tonight for dinner right as she finally fell into bed. It was Friday and she would be damned if they were going to cancel. She hadn't talked to Elijah about it, but that was not the kind of thing her brother just forgot about so she was sure he had a plan.
They had gotten Kai settled in Kol's room on the second floor and Kol went to sleep in Davina's room on the empty third floor. Freya didn't think they should leave Kai up alone on the huge third floor by himself on his first night. He had argued that he was fine, but Freya insisted.
They had to sit down and figure out the bedroom situation. The adults had talked about maybe switching Elijah and Vanessa to the current girls' room and Finn and Henrik to Matt and Jeremy's room. All four of the girls would move upstairs as Klaus said they could turn the game room into a bedroom or his art studio. One of the girls could move into Davina's bedroom to double up. Then, Matt, Jeremy, and Kai could move into Henrik and Finn's room which, although it didn't have an attached bath, was bigger. If Klaus knew how full the house would be, he would have had it completely designed and added more closets.
Dana and Rachael had a tearful reunion as Klaus went and looked at a sleeping Penny. His sleeping beauty looked pale and innocent in bed. He hated that he had missed her first day of school. True to their word, the twin started arguing until Freya ordered them both to bed. They didn't want to sleep in the same bed, but it was a huge King size bed and they would have several feet apart. Dana was happy to see Penny, but Freya warned her not to wake up the girl or reveal that Rachael was actually Dana this whole time...
Klaus then popped in Matt and Jeremy's room to find them both sleeping. He hoped the next time he had to leave Mystic Falls, he could bring his kids with him. Next, Klaus opened the door to Tyler, Erik, and Connor's room. He said the light of a cell phone in Tyler's bed.
"Tyler, I saw that. Son, why aren't you sleeping?" Klaus said in a low voice.
"Hey Dad, how was your trip?" Tyler asked avoiding the question.
"Good. We brought home Rachael's twin, the real Dana and their brother Kai. Wanna answer my question?" Klaus said.
"I can't sleep. Care and I have been fighting. Dad, today was insane. We got pulled over and kicked out of school for the day," Tyler started explained.
"Want to come sleep with me tonight?" Klaus asked.
"Yeah, okay," Tyler said. He left his cell phone on the bed. Caroline's last text could wait.
Klaus put his arm around Tyler and pulled him in to kiss his forehead.
"Missed you," Klaus said roughly.
"Us, too, Dad," Tyler replied.
As Klaus got ready for bed, Tyler told him about his arguments with Caroline and how she wanted him to move in with her mother. He mentioned that Carol Lockwood offered to let them both move into the Lockwood mansion. Caroline said she would never move into the Mikaelson mansion as there were too many people living there.
Klaus listened and then got into bed. He turned out the bedside light.
"Son, regardless of where you live, you can still be a father. Did you consider just living separately and seeing the twins on weekends or on some schedule?" Klaus offered.
"Dad, no, how can I do that to Caroline? I love her. I want us to be a family, but I don't want to leave this family either," Tyler said in frustration.
"I understand, come on, you're exhausted. Come here and shut your eyes," Klaus said pulling Tyler closer and stoking his hair.
"Dad, I'm scared. I'm not ready for this," Tyler said his voice breaking in the darkness.
"We're here for you, Son," Klaus said as Tyler sobbed softly.
"What if I screw it up and my kids hate m-me? Sometimes I-I used t-to hate my d-dad so bad. He was a-always so p-pissed at m-me, no m-matter w-what I did. I was scared of him, of d-disappointing him, or him screaming at me for no r-reason," Tyler shook with sorrow.
"It's okay, Tyler. Your dad was an untriggered wolf and the son of several untriggered wolves, generations of anger. He didn't know what he was, that's why they call it a curse. The anger has to go somewhere. I know you made up with your dad near the end, hold on to that," Klaus said wiping away Tyler's tears.
"He told me he was sorry right before he died...I guess I need to forgive him and move on, it's not easy when I think of all this," Tyler said as Klaus held him.
"You know, there were times I was afraid with you boys. You know what my father was like, and Tyler, I've made mistakes with all of you. Son, you are going to make mistakes with your kids. You can't live in fear of that, all you can do, is your best every day. Somedays that won't be good enough. I don't know what it's like to have babies who depend on you for their every need, but if it becomes too much, ask for help. You and Caroline both have lots of people who will step in," Klaus advised.
"Okay, that makes sense," Tyler said groggily. Klaus listened as he fell asleep. Klaus found himself picturing Camille with a baby in her arms, their baby. He knew it was impossible, but he fell asleep with dreams of babies in his head.

6:30 am
Elijah and Vanessa got up early to get the kids off as they did on school days. Vanessa went in to get Rachael up and saw Penny staring at Dana, or was it Rachael. They looked exactly alike.
"Morning, sweetie! That's the sister. How'd you sleep?" Vanessa asked.
"I think that's Dana. She smells different. I don't know why I didn't notice it before. This other one has been lying to me!" Penny announced.
"I'm sorry, honey, we didn't know what to tell you. Don't be upset, she is here now. The twins were in a bad situation. They didn't mean to trick you," Vanessa said gently.
Penny growled, "That's not nice! She's a liar. I should...rip out her throat!"
Vanessa vamped over and grabbed Penny's arm, "Hey! We don't talk like that. Your dad is back and he is excited to see you. Don't make me go get him and tell him that you are threatening to hurt people. He'd be very...disappointed."
Penny started to cry, "Where's my dad?"
"Go find him, honey. I need to get Rachael up," Vanessa said in a softer voice. She hadn't meant to make the little girl cry, but for a second, she thought Penny was going to attack. As a hybrid, Penny was almost stronger than her, a baby vampire, and there would be little she could do to stop it.
"I'm uppppp. But I'm not going to school, right? I haven't even seen my brother," Rachael groaned. Vanessa smacked her on the rear through the comforter. Rachael cursed and Vanessa was tempted to pop her again, but she didn't want to wake up Dana.
"Watch the language. If you want to see your brother, then, you better get up and go see him now because you are going to school! He's in Kol's room. Let's let your sister sleep in. We'll need to get her enrolled on Monday," Vanessa said.
Rachael stumbled out of bed and made it into the bathroom.
A handsome, dark haired teen appeared at the door.
"You must be Kai," Vanessa said.
"Yes, I am. And you must be beautiful...," Kai said kissing her hand.
"A charmer, I see. I'm Vanessa. Elijah's fiancée," Vanessa said still laughing.
"He's a lucky man. I see one sister is still lazing about. The other?" Kai said surveying the huge bedroom.
"She's in the bathroom. I know. Impressive room. This was supposed to have been Rebekah's room. Did you meet her in New Orleans?" Vanessa prompted.
"Briefly. Another beauty, but an Original one. Wow, can I see this balcony?" Kai asked as Vanessa indicated he could look.
Kai looked out to the gardens on the side lawn. The property extended for miles. He could see how far the fences ran. It looked secure, but he knew his coven would tear apart nations to find him.
"It's stunning. Really! It's like living in a castle. You should see the dreary old pile of bricks we lived in in the prison world, so dark and dreary. I hated it. Ah, finally," Kai said.
"Kai!" Rachael yelled running to him.
Vanessa slipped out the room to give them privacy.
Kai choked out, "I didn't think I'd see you guys again. Thanks for getting me out of there. It was...hell."
Rachael hugged him around the waist as he tried to get his emotions under control. Two days ago, he never thought this day would come.
"Any word from our parents? My evil twin Jo? They cloaked me last night, but I just hope it's enough. I swear to you, we'll get them back some day for what they did,' Kai vowed.
"I wasn't the one who got sold to the Guerrera's. That was Dana. Kai, I don't know what they did to her and that little girl, Penny, but she's different. She had me come up here and pretend to be her. I didn't know what I was getting into. They could have killed me," Rachael whispered.
"But they didn't, Rach. You look fine. Have they been treating you fine?" Kai asked with no trace of the mischievous imp he usually was. When it came to his sisters' safety, he was dead serious. He thought that he had lost them before.
"Yeah, I got into some trouble yesterday, but everything is okay now," Rachael admitted shyly.
"Trouble follows you two like a shadow!" Kai laughed spinning her around.
"Hey, dildos, I'm trying to sleep here!" Dana yelled throwing a pillow at them.
Rachael giggled in horror, "Bitch, you can't talk that way here. They are super strict. Just take it from me, watch your asses."
Just as the siblings began to throw things at each other and wrestle, Freya came in.
"I see we are awake! Rachael, good to see you," Freya said hugging her.
"Guess you heard about yesterday?" Rachael said feeling her out.
"Hey, we don't have to talk about it, unless you want to, okay? Now, Rachael, you get ready for school. Kai, we'll cloak you again today and then...well, go shopping. You kids are going to pretty much need everything," Freya said.
Dana paled, "But, we don't have any money."
Freya patted her arm, "Hon, I don't think you have to worry about money. All we need you to do right now is leave that bracelet on and do your best to behave yourself. You, too, Kai."
"Because if I take the bracelet off, you will feel it, right?" Kai quipped.
"Kai, I'm going to go ahead and guess that your smart mouth has gotten you into trouble, but that handsome face and charming smile has also equally gotten you out of trouble, right?" Freya laughed.
Kai reddened, "Sorry, I just blurt things out before I think. Yeah, my mouth has gotten me in trouble...a few times."
"Let me just give you some ground rules, my brothers and sister are the oldest beings on earth. Technically, I am, but I spent most of that time in a sleeping spell, so I don't count myself. If you have lived one thousand years, you tend to have a few old fashioned ideas. One of those is to speak to your elders with some respect. Let's just leave it at that for now. But my brother Elijah, especially, is not going to put up with you back talking him," Freya shared.
Kai nodded, "Okay, I'll watch it."
"Thanks, Kai. I just don't want to see you get off on the wrong foot. The three of you are my wards, but we treat all the kids here as our own. So don't feel like you can't go to my brothers, just as you would me for help, advice, money," Freya smiled, "or anything you need."
"Thanks," Kai said, his light grey blue eyes calmer now. This boy was too good looking for his own good, Freya thought.
"Also, I have a bit of a date tonight. She is coming over for dinner tonight. I know you haven't really had a chance to meet any kids, but if the other kids are going out, you are free to go, too. Kai, Dana, you're not prisoners anymore. I want you to be as much as regular kids as you can be, okay?" Freya asked.
Dana smiled, "Cool. It sounds good. It's been a long time since we were anything near normal."
Freya nodded, "Group hug?"
Kai laughed and Dana rolled her eyes. Rachael hugged Freya tightly as Freya wrapped her arms around the three siblings. She prayed words of protection over them silently and felt love for them already. Freya felt her eyes well up and tears spill over. Siphons, or no, they should never have been treated like that by their own coven.
Freya laughed, "Shit, now I'm crying. Sorry, don't swear! Rachael, I'll let you get ready. Kai, come on, I'll introduce you to Elijah and the boys...and Penny."
Klaus' quarters
6:45 am
Conner knocked and walked into to Klaus' room. Klaus was in the shower and Tyler was still sleeping.
Connor nudged him, "Hey fuck face, your cell was blowing up all night!"
Tyler groggily looked at his messages, "Oh god, I told Caroline to fuck off and hung up on her. She is literally going to shoot me and then maybe have her mom shoot me again. I'm dead."
Klaus came out of the bathroom dressed.
"Connor! Hey Son, good to see you," Klaus said hugging him tightly.
"Hey Dad, I was just giving Tyler here his cell, it was buzzing all night.
Erik was ready to smash it with a hammer. We were too lazy to get up and turned it off...," Connor laughed.
"Sorry about that," Tyler said sheepishly.
"I'll go wake up Erik, Jer, and Matt," Connor volunteered.
"Thanks, Son," Klaus said.
Tyler looked guilty and tossed the phone to Klaus.
"You told the mother of your children to 'fuck off'? Oh Tyler, then you hung up on her? You know, your uncle told me he almost had to paddle you in front of everyone yesterday and that he talked to you about the cell phone," Klaus stated.
"Yes, Dad. It's true. Uncle Elijah gave me a bunch of chances and talked to me...a couple of times," Tyler admitted.
"Sometimes you need more than a talk, huh?" Klaus said tossing the phone on the bed.
"No! Dad, please, not that," Tyler begged standing and unconsciously rubbing his backside. Klaus wanted to smile at the childish gesture, but restrained himself.
"Okay, then you're grounded tonight to your room. No electronics, no phone, no tv. You can read and catch up on school work," Klaus stated calmly. That sounded like hell to Tyler.
"Dad! We're supposed to meet up at the Grill, some old friends from football and then we were going to,-" Tyler faltered in defeated.
"Go to the bathroom and go get your school clothes. I need to get something from your aunt," Klaus said. He didn't want to have to spank Tyler, but he'd had a choice and he had chosen.
"Yes, sir," Tyler said heading to his room to get his clothes. He thought maybe he should shave, but he didn't really need to.
Klaus was waiting for him on the bed with a small spray bottle and the ping pong paddle was out. Tyler was relieved it wasn't one of those heavier paddles that left his butt aching. At least this would just sting and be more embarrassing than anything else.
"Put your clothes on the chair. Is that how you folded them? If they are all wrinkled like that, you are changing. I doubt your mother ever let you go to school looking like that," Klaus muttered.
"Our housekeeper used to iron all my clothes," Tyler replied.
"Well, all of our housekeepers are dead so now we have to do the ironing. Pants down," Klaus ordered. Tyler flushed to reveal that he hadn't worn underwear under his basketball shorts.
"This spray is something Freya concocted in her lab. It will slow your healing. You took your shower last night, right? Well, I guess you are going to school with a sore bum then. That bus ride will not be pleasant, but I expect you to apologize to Caroline. You know better," Klaus said turned Tyler to the side and spraying his backside and thighs with the liquid salve mixture.
"Dad, I feel bad enough. She's been snapping at me and I lost it. I should have just told her I wasn't allowed on my phone all night," Tyler groused.
"You can tell her that, too. Over my lap, sometimes this where you learn best. You can have ten children and I'm still going to put you here when you misbehave," Klaus said picking up the paddle. He would have warmed up Tyler over his underpants because the salve would burn Klaus' hand, but since he had no underwear, no warm up.
"Dadddd, that's so embarrassing," Tyler whined as Klaus tapped his rear with the paddle. Klaus flipped from the smooth black side to the red, dotted side with was rougher.
"Just be a good boy and you never have to worry about getting another spanking, right? Now, think about the consequences of losing your temper and hurting the people you love. Think about what hurts worse," Klaus insisted.
Tyler just groaned. He knew that he had been an asshole to Caroline and worse that he had blown her off.
Pop! Pop!
Klaus began by paddling from the center of each cheek and then giving Tyler a hard swat across both.
POP!
He kept this up for a minute until Tyler's feet kicked and he almost covered his backside with them. Tyler couldn't help it as the little, round paddle stung more than he ever remembered it doing in the past.
"Move your feet or I'm going to restrain your legs and really give it to you," Klaus threatened. Klaus rested the wooden paddle on Tyler's behind and gave him a few more pats. He didn't recall him ever squirming and kicking this much before from the paddle.
Tyler began to wiggle and grunt more after two minutes of light swats covering his whole behind now. The smacks were random and if he tried to move his arms back, he got swatted hard on his sit spots. Klaus never slowed or quickened his pace, he just kept popping down the paddle systematically.
After Tyler's whole rear end was pink and stinging, Klaus paused a moment. Tyler was fighting to keep his hands under his head and his feet down, but losing the battle with his feet.
"Okay, Son, almost done. I'm going to pin your legs under mine. You're squirming too much," Klaus said shifting Tyler's legs off the bed and latching his right leg over them.
"Daddy, no! I'm s-ssorry. Please, it already stings like hell," Tyler wailed. Tyler hadn't been crying, but was starting to now as he knew what was coming.
"Settle down, one more minute. This is what happens when you don't listen in this house, doesn't it? I'm here now and I'm not letting you get away with being mean and keeping all your anger penned up inside of you. Let it out, Son. It's okay," Klaus said right before he began to start paddling Tyler with his legs restrained.
Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap!
"AHHHH! AHHH! OUCH! DAD!" Tyler shouted until he began to cry hard enough that he couldn't talk.
Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap!
Klaus kept going for a full minute, but after the first five hard swats, he was merely flicking his wrist. Tyler's hand came back and Klaus pinned it after half a minute.
Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap!
When Tyler's sobs hitched and he felt his whole body relax, Klaus immediately stopped. The entire spanking had only taken less than five minutes, but it left Tyler's behind bright red.
"Okay, that's it. That was a hard one," Klaus cooed as he put the paddle on the bed and rubbed Tyler's back. Tyler had kicked off his basketball shorts and was only in his white t-shirt and white socks.
"Come here, sweetheart," Klaus said, pulling his son into his arms. He covered him with a blanket and made sure his behind was not touching his tight as it looked especially sore.
"S-Sorry, Dadddd," Tyler cried into Klaus' chest. Tyler went to rub his backside but Klaus pulled his hands away.
"Your hands will burn. Listen, don't try to wipe off the salve, water will make it sting more. Sorry, but this time, you are going to have a stinging behind for a little while to remind you to behave and treat people nicely," Klaus shared.
"No! It really burns so bad. I didn't think the ping pong paddle could hurt that much!" Tyler conceded.
"It's all in the wrist. But also that salve is a little different. Since you triggered your curse, you have been healing so fast, but with this salve, it's like you are human again for a little bit. Do you think we'll see an improvement in your behavior?" Klaus asked rubbing circles in Tyler's back as he stopped crying.
"Yes, sir! I swear. Aunt Freya is kinda mean, though. I thought witches were supposed to help people!" Tyler whinged.
"I always said witches were a pain in the arse," Klaus said laughing at his own joke.
"Dadddd, I have to get ready for school and my butt is going to sting all day!" Tyler complained.
"I love you, Son, but I do need to see an improvement in your attitude and behavior. You apologize to Caroline. You can go out with your friends tonight, but tomorrow, you clean up that room with Connor and Erik. Don't think I didn't notice. Elijah has really been trying to stop nagging and lecturing all of you because it's not working, but we need your help around here," Klaus said helping Tyler stand.
"Yes, Dad. I know Uncle Elijah has really been trying to give us a break. I'm sorry I gave him such a rough time. And thanks for last night. I feel a hundred times better. I mean aside from the blistering pain in my a-, butt," Tyler corrected. He didn't want to put his father to give him a single extra smack, his behind was so sore right now.
Tyler struggled to slide on his cotton briefs without rubbing them across his behind. They felt tight. God, were these Erik's or was his backside swollen? Next, Tyler cringed as he slid up his jeans and buttoned them. His polo shirt was slightly wrinkled, but as it was black, it looked okay.
"Bus comes at 8am so you have time for breakfast," Klaus smiled.
Tyler's behind was flaming and he finally rubbed it over the jeans, it did not help. Klaus hugged him again and planted a kiss on the top of his head.
"Let's go downstairs. You might want to wash you face, though," Klaus suggested.
Tyler stiffly walked to the bathroom and winced when he leaned over to splash water on his face. It was going to be a long day. But aside from the bus and sitting in hard wooden chairs, the thing he dreaded was facing Caroline. He would be lucky if she didn't punch him in the face herself.
Klaus couldn't help feeling guilty seeing Tyler suffering the ill effects of his behavior. He hoped that this new, stronger, water resistant salve would prove to help the hybrids behave better.
Tyler went downstairs, met Kai and the real Dana. Then asked Elijah if he could talk to him. Sadie was excited to have so many new people around and barking loudly, which she almost never did. Things were hectic, but Elijah steered Tyler into the great room.
"Uncle Elijah, I just wanted to say sorry about yesterday and the phone thing. I'm going to clean my room tomorrow. I know you've been doing a lot more than you should around here and I'm going to help more," Tyler apologized.
"Thanks, buddy. I appreciate you saying that. You look tired. Are you sure that you're okay to go to school?" Elijah said feeling his forehead.
Tyler flushed, "Um, Dad, spanked me, just a couple of minutes ago."
"Oh," Elijah said surprised, "Tyler, I told him that we talked about the other things yesterday-."
"No, it was for saying something rude to Caroline. I told her to 'f-off' and then hung up," Tyler admitted.
"Oh, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because of what I told him about yesterday," Elijah breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, it wasn't, but the way I've been talking back, I probably deserved it," Tyler blurted.
Elijah smiled, "Tyler, you're a teenager. It would almost be abnormal for you not to let your mouth get away with itself sometimes, okay. When you feel yourself getting upset or irritated, it's okay to take a break or count to ten. You can excuse yourself respectfully. It takes some practice to control your emotions and it doesn't happen overnight, we know that. Now, the bus is coming soon. Good luck with Caroline. Have a good day. I love you, Tyler."
Elijah gripped his shoulder.
"Thanks, Uncle Elijah. Love you, too," Tyler said realizing that he really meant it. Despite everything going on today, Tyler still felt pretty lucky.
