Pairing: Klaus/Elijah (M/M) hand, brush

Prompt fulfilled for elenalovly (Part 2 coming)

New Orleans Airport

Klaus was trying to contain himself. He knew he had been away too long. But what Elijah did was ludicrous!

Klaus got off his flight, got his luggage, and found his brother.

Elijah paled at the sight of his seething hybrid brother. Klaus' blue eyes bore holes into Elijah.

"Niklaus, please, you are being ridiculous," Elijah said in a hush.

"You struck my little girl, against my wishes," Klaus retorted.

"Brother, if you would have heard the foul words out of her mouth, you would have done the same. I beseech you, do not be angry with me," Elijah answered.

"Elijah, I am angry. I do not say this to hurt you, but you do not have a child. You have no idea of how far you would go to protect them," Klaus said as they walked to parking.

"I have no idea? Have I not protected you all these centuries from yourself? And where the hell have you been? In Paris? Your daughter needed you. We need you," Elijah went on.

"You know where I have been. You need not question that," Klaus said decisively.

"And I did not struck the child. She is my niece, I love her. I put her over my lap and smacked her bottom soundly a few times. She's a werewolf, she healed. She cried, she made up with her mother and went to bed," Elijah explained as they got his black Jaguar.

"She cried...You said you beat her with a hairbrush!" Klaus fumed.

"Niklaus, for the last damn time, I gave her a little spanking. I didn't hurt her," Elijah added.

"Good. Then, when we get hope, I will do the same to you, dear Brother," Klaus promised as he got in the passenger seat.

Elijah scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous!"

"Oh, I am serious. If it is such a light punishment, then you can get the same for spanking my daughter without my permission. Did Hayley give you permission?" Klaus inquired forcefully.

"She was crying too hard to speak. So I suppose not," Elijah huffed.

"Well, you can fetch the hairbrush and we'll go to your bedroom and I'll give you a little spanking and put you to bed. I'm sure you will sleep soundly," Klaus spat.

Elijah was disappointed and frustrated that his brother was not hearing him.

"Damn you, Niklaus. If you had been here, I would not have had to smack anyone. You think I wanted to do this?" Elijah asked crossly.

"I do not know what is going on in that head of yours. My daughter is a teenager and I don't feel like it is appropriate for you to smack her behind like that," Niklaus said firmly.

"It was over her jeans with a hairbrush. It's not like I striped her to her underclothes and took a cane to her, for God's sake!" Elijah concluded.

"I understand what you did, Elijah, but you aren't hearing me," Klaus insisted.

"Niklaus, you're acting like you never spanked Hope before. I've been there when you have, so don't act like you are so high and mighty," Elijah yelled.

"I admit there were times when she was younger I gave her the odd smack on the seat of her pants. Hayley spanked her and even took that little paddle to her several times. I didn't like it then and I like it even less now. I will not back down that you should not have disciplined our daughter without our express permission," Klaus continued.

Elijah became more upset, "Niklaus, while you were out gallivanting around the globe on your revenge mission, I was trying to help Hayley. I am sorry if I overstepped. But you have no idea of how many times I talked things over with Hope, reasoned with her, and tried to get her to behave herself."

"Did you even give her a warning that you were going to spank her if her behavior didn't improve?" Klaus pressed.

Elijah glanced at his brother as he navigating through traffic, "Look I tried. If it isn't good enough, than I am sorry."

"Apology accepted, but you did not answer my question," Klaus said louder.

Elijah pounded on the steering wheel. "No, I didn't warn her. But I would think she knows that foul and disrespectful behavior like that in our family will not be tolerated. You didn't warn me so..."

"When we get home, you will go to my room and wait for me," Klaus said in an ominous tone.

Elijah felt tears well up in his own eyes, "Niklaus, you cannot be serious..." His stomach twisted up with anxiety and he was afraid to even glance at his brother.

"Just drive, Brother. You are not the only one overdue a session with the hairbrush," Klaus said shutting his eyes and leaning back.

Elijah wiped away a tear and continued to drive. When they got to a stoplight, Elijah began to cry and got out his handkerchief in a bid to win sympathy.

Klaus snapped, "Elijah, stop that crying or I will really give you something to cry about right here on the side of the road."

"You would not!" Elijah whimpered.

"I am sorely tempted to right now. Keep this up and find up," Klaus said sternly.

Elijah let the rest of his tears drip down his face and continued to drive until they arrived at The Compound.

Elijah sat in the car a moment. "Niklaus, you know everything I do is for this family. Can you not forgive me?'

"I will, Elijah. After you have been punished, now march up to my room. Oh, and bring the hairbrush you used on my little girl. We will see how you like it upon your bare arse!" Klaus smirked.

Elijah felt blood heat up in his neck and ears. He felt faint. "Brother, it's been over 900 years since I've been thrashed. Perhaps you could punish me in another way?'

"One," Klaus counted as he removed his luggage from the car.

"What are you doing?" Elijah asked in horror.

"Counting to three. If I get to three, that's three nights where I blister your behind before bed," Klaus explained.

Elijah opened his mouth in shock, "But..."

"Two. Get the hairbrush and meet me in my room," Klaus stated again.

Elijah paled and vamped up to Hope's room. Luckily, she and Hayley were out at the Bayou trying to pacify the angry Crescents.

Klaus came in and greeted Freya.

"Brother, this is long overdue," Freya said with tears in her eyes.

"I am starting to see that. How's Keelin?" Klaus said.

"Away with Médecins Sans Frontières, I am hoping to visit her soon, but with everything going on...," Freya drifted off.

"Sweet sister, you go and see your love. Hayley texted that she and Hope went to the Bayou. I am planning to have a serious chat with Elijah," Klaus said with his eyes flashing yellow a moment.

"Niklaus, Hope is fine. We all know how you feel about it, but he wasn't like you say Mikael was. I hope you know that," Freya defended.

"I know, but I want this to be a safe place for Hope. I'm sorry but I feel like he overstepped and overreacted. Teenagers act up and rebel. You cannot beat that out of them," Klaus shared.

"You and Hayley are the parents, but you have to understand that Elijah steps in as a co-parent when you are not here. I am not defending what you did, but your daughter was out of control. It scared us," Freya said gently.

Klaus nodded, "I hadn't thought of it like that. But Elijah needs to realize he cannot solve all of our problems around here. He's always 'handling' everything, at the expense of his own mental sanity. I am going to give him a taste of his own medicine. It's been a long time since he got his uptight ass smacked as a human. Could you do me a favor?"

Klaus' Room

Elijah had retrieved the hairbrush from Hope's dresser. It felt heavier and the metal part colder than when he had swatted her with it the day before. Elijah changed from his suit into a matching sweat suit and watched on Klaus' couch. He knew this was just a ruse to teach him a lesson. He had to admit that Niklaus was convincing. But who ever heard of a younger brother spanking an older brother for discipling his daughter. Elijah would never back down that the girl deserved a trip over someone's lap. If her parents wouldn't do it, well, it fell to him. The patriarch. Elijah then realized with concern that Freya was now the matriarch and that Niklaus was coming.

"I should have had you face the wall like the misbehaving lad you acted like," Klaus quipped coming in with his suitcase and setting it down.

"Perhaps you could fit me with a dunce cap or erect some stocks. The villagers could pelt me with rotten fruit, like the old days," Elijah recalled.

"Nay, we will stick with an old-fashioned spanking, I think. You face that wall. I'm going to change and then paddle your behind just as firmly as you did Hope's," Klaus said making a motion for Elijah to face the wall.

Elijah started to cry again, "I did not hit her that hard! I know she is a human child. Do you think me a monster?"

"Of course not. Oh, I asked Freya to do a little anti-healing spell on you. If you feel a tingling in your behind, that is why," Klaus mentioned casually.

"A what? Anti-healing! Niklaus, this has gone far enough!" Elijah said heading towards the door.

"You can try it, but Freya also sealed the room for me. Just in case the girls get home earlier, they won't hear anything or be able to enter. Now, face the wall," Klaus demanded. Elijah put his hands in his face and sobbed.

Klaus lost his patience. He vamped to his brother and turned him and walked him to the corner. Elijah realized what was happening and stalled. Klaus swatted him over his sweatpants. Slap! Slap!

Taking advantage of Elijah's shocked, Klaus pushed him further into the corner and pulled down his sweatpants. Elijah was wearing white boxer briefs. Klaus couldn't help but smirk. Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Elijah sobbed, "Stop laughing. Hayley likes them. They are organic cotton." Crack! Crack!

Elijah moaned and rubbed his smarting rear.

Klaus cleared his throat, "They look, ah, very snug. Now do not move unless you want a preview of the damn good smacking I am planning to give you."

"Freya must have started the spell. It stings!" Elijah wailed. Whack! Whack!

"That what it feels like to get spanked as a human! Hurts, doesn't it?" Klaus prodded.

Elijah was shifting from foot to foot.

"No more, Niklaus. I won't spank anyone again! I swear," Elijah gushed turning from the corner. Klaus pushed him gently back in and popped his cotton clad butt four more times. Twice on each cheek. Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack!

"I didn't say you couldn't spank, just that you couldn't spank without permission. Now think about that," Klaus said going to change. "Hands at your side!"

Elijah was fighting to keep his hands steady and off his bottom. He was not sure what Freya has done but the smacks had smarted a great deal.

Klaus changed into more comfortable jeans and a black pullover shirt and looked at his brother. He was fidgeting in the corner and obviously feeling the first spanks keenly. His tight underpants probably hadn't helped. Klaus always assumed Elijah wore silk boxers or briefs, not the more fitted boxer briefs he had on now. He hadn't been planning to truly bare Elijah's behind, but now he thought he would have to, as he would not be able to just pull the material away.

Klaus sat down on the couch in front of the fire place. It was long enough to accommodate his brother's form, he thought. Although Klaus hadn't swatted his daughter that much, he had more experience spanking Marcel. Most of it, after he had been made a vampire.

"Elijah, it's time for your spanking. Come here, please. Do not dally, you know you deserve this," Klaus said firmly.

Elijah sniffed and shuffled over with his pants around his knees. He felt childish and chastised already. He had spanked his niece to get his brother home. It worked and now he had to pay the piper!

"I'm sorry, Niklaus," Elijah said tearfully.

"I know. Fetch the hairbrush and bring it to me. My hand already stings from your stubborn bottom," Klaus informed him. Elijah handed Klaus the brushed and winced when he want to position him over his lap. Klaus just gripped him more solidly and flipped him flat down over his knees.

Klaus pulled up Elijah's legs so his entire form was resting on the couch. He patted his seat with the brush and started to pat him. Pat. Pat. Pat. POP!

Klaus raised up his arm and cracked it down over both of Elijah's cheeks. Elijah immediately began to wail and kick and twist.

"Stay still. If you cannot behave, you are going to have a hard time explaining to Hayley why you are getting a bedtime spanking tonight," Klaus warned.

Elijah clenched and braced himself for the next flurry of swats. He was not left to wait long. Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Whack! Whack! Klaus spanked Elijah randomly over his underpants and every once in a while gave him a hard swat on each sit spot. Elijah was sobbing hysterically and blubbering that he had learned his lesson.

"Let's see if you did. Lift so I can pull down your underpants," Klaus insisted.

Elijah fussed and tried to scramble off Klaus' lap. Crack! crack. crack. crack. crack.

"Those spanks don't count. Lift," Klaus demanded. Elijah obeyed and his boxer briefs were worked down to his sweats at his knees.

Now that his behind was bare, Elijah's eyes popped open to feel the cold flat back of the brush rubbing the area. It was already aching and sore. He wouldn't be able to take a spanking with that brush on the bare.

He hollered, "No!" as Klaus raised the brush a little higher to bring down harder. Klaus swatted all over until the entire area was red.

Elijah tried to protect his behind with his feet, but Klaus finally threw his right leg over Elijah's legs to hold them down. Then, Elijah tried to throw back his hands. Klaus caught them behind his back and held them with is left hand. Once Elijah was restrained, Klaus lightened his swats and slowed them down.

"Do you understand why you are getting this paddling, Elijah?' Klaus prompted.

Elijah wailed, "Yes! I s-shouldn't have s-spanked without t-talking to H-Hayley and y-you. It h-hurts so b-bad!" Smack! Smack!

"I trust you, Elijah. I do, but I also know you. You knew I would be angry. So you either didn't care or you did this on purpose to draw me back here. Which is it?" Klaus said spanking steadily.

"I wwanted you h-home. W-we need you hereeeee. Sorrryyy," Elijah gasped as Klaus began paddling harder and faster for the last ten spanks.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

"I should h-have j-just t-told you! I am s-sorry, but H-Hope really was c-cruel to her mother," Elijah said.

Klaus threw down the brush. Elijah's behind was a bright red and looked like it had square shaped marks in some places.

"All done, Brother. I wish you would have talked to me brother to brother, but I do trust you with my daughter. Next time, talk to me or Hayley first, okay?" Klaus said soothingly. He rubbed Elijah's sore rear. He hated to hear Elijah weeping, but knew it was cathartic for him.

"G-Glad your b-back," Elijah uttered sniffling.

Klaus released his brother from his hold, "Me, too, Elijah. Come now. Let's get you up."

Klaus let Elijah attempt to put up his tight underwear and gave up.

"I cannot. My behind is too sore," Elijah hissed.

"I'll get you a robe," Klaus said softly.

Elijah stepped out of his sweats and underpants. He took off his sweatshirt and put on the robe. Elijah was still emotional, "I am glad you are back."

Klaus went to him and threw his arms around Elijah's waist. "I missed you, Brother." Klaus found himself crying, too.

Elijah was now comforting Klaus, "Niklaus, no more of this. Our family needs to be together.'

"I know," Klaus agreed as he wiped his eyes.

"Is Freya going to heal me? I am supposed to take Hayley out to dinner tonight. I am not sure I can sit," Elijah admitted.

"Then, you better behave yourself. Hayley is expecting a nice dinner while I take out Hope. I may have been a little firm with you, but I wanted to find out what you were really up to," Klaus confessed.

Elijah pulled away, "I should have admitted how much I was struggling without you being here. That being said, Hope really did deserve a spanking. But maybe it should have come from you or Hayley."

"Or maybe she should have been grounded like a normal teen?" Klaus pointed out.

"Niklaus, your beautiful daughter is many things, but normal is not one of them. I say that with love. Now, can I rub my behind? It's on fire," Elijah said plainly.

"Yes. I hope I didn't bruise you," Klaus said with concern.

Elijah cringed, "I think you did. Now, can we agree this is the first and the last time we need to do this?"

Klaus smirked, "No, I think it is very effective."

Elijah flushed, "Niklaus, stop it."

"I am not joking. I think you get so uptight that a spanking helps you get out your feelings. And Freya agreed!" Klaus shared.

"What?" Elijah said in horror. "You don't mean that."

"Yes, she said you best watch it..."

Elijah fumed, "I cannot believe this. Both my brother and my sister. Who is next?"

Klaus listened, "I think I hear the girls downstairs. You best wash your face. I'll tell them you are in a shower. I won't say a word to them about this."

"Gee, thanks," Elijah said sarcastically.

"Watch it, Brother. I can still tap that sore behind if you need a lesson in manners," Klaus offered.

"I am fine. Let me get cleaned up," Elijah said. He was horrified. Freya was out of line. The more he thought of it, the angrier he grew. Elijah had his brother back, but he wasn't going to be the punching bag of the family. He had to improve his mood before he took Hayley out tonight. Elijah didn't want her to know about any of this.

It was hard to keep a secret in the Compound, but not totally impossible.
