I just wanna let you guys know that I'm running on my own timeline here. After Klaus separated from TVD and made his own, the Originals, I kinda lost touch with them. I only followed scenes that includes Klaroline moments. So this is a warning that it won't match with the timelines on either TVD or the Originals, just a bit.

It was like the end of my life when those two separated.

So I'm a bit fuzzy on that..

Forgive me if I don't know about Hayley's pregnancy. I think I failed to mention how much I loathe her, thus explaining my intended ignorance about her being.


It had been three days since the night Caroline promised to be friends with Klaus, a real one at that. It was hard, considering how their ideals would clash. Where Klaus sees death, she sees a chance. Where he wants violence, she wants peace. They had been fighting like crazy, and there were many times where Klaus would come to the point of not telling her what he was up to. It irritated her. But what's more was that it depressed her.

She remembered Klaus's words,"I think we should enforce certain limits to our deal love. After all, I'm not the one with the most benefits in it."

"Friends. How fantastic," she muttered to herself.

She hugged her knees, but later resorted to lying on her bed face-down.

The sheets were no longer red but a bluish-green, it reminded her of something. It was lovely. She spread her fingers and started playing with the satin sheets.

"What a fortunate object, to simply enjoy your touch would be a privilege."

Klaus was standing in her doorway, she watched with caution as he approached and sat at the edge of the bed facing her. She frowned, scrunching her nose in the process and turned her back to him. Even though they made a promise to be friends he was still being obscure, simply doing his transaction away from her.

"I'm not in the mood to fight Klaus,"she threw a pillow at him.

Klaus chuckled at her action, finding it adorable."These sheets are the color of your eyes, I thought you'd like them. They're lovely, but not as much as you."

"I liked it. Thank you."Her voice was curt, still not facing him.

But Niklaus wasn't one that can easily be fooled. He heard her sadness. Was it because of him?

"Caroline-" but he stopped when she abruptly turned around to face him again.

"You know Klaus, I'm not really feeling the benefit of this friendship that we have. But I guess it's because you actually have nothing to gain. Like you said, I'm the one who benefits the most from our deal while you send your resources back to Mystic Falls. I'll just keep quiet and behave, or maybe I'll just go back home and find another way. Call back your hybrids, I'm sure there's another way." Caroline stood up and walked to her dresser, fishing through her clothes.

"I'll just go back", those words made Klaus panic. His eyes frantically followed Caroline as she slid off the bed and began sorting through her clothes. For a moment he was frozen, not knowing what the best decision would be for them. For her. Should he let her go? He doesn't want to. Then he did something neither of them expected.

"I'm sorry Caroline, love"

Caroline was in an absolute standstill. He was so sincere, and his melancholy gave her pain. She turned around and saw him, head downcast and still sitting on the bed. These were the rare moments that she has now learned to treasure, when his emotion show. Proving he is not just evil, that he has a heart. She smiled at him, even though she knew he couldn't see it.

Slowly she walked towards the bed and sat beside him. She lowered her head just enough to see Klaus's grim face, it made her heart sink."I accept your apology. I mean, look at me. I can't stand one day without being me, all fussy and judgy. So I don't really expect that you'll change in a matter of days. I know it takes time."

Klaus chuckled."Love, I don't even think there is such a word as judgy."

Caroline grinned at him."Alright. Judging then."

They exchanged stares sharing the serene moment they had now. It was relaxed, comfortable, with no one breathing down their necks about why they were together. It was a beautiful scene.

Caroline was the one who broke the moment."But you're right, I'm the one who actually has something to gain in this deal. Just think of it, you don't gain anything in the deal I'm surprised you accepted it. I'm the one you're wasting your resources on and I have nothing to offer, it can't even be considered a deal."

Niklaus gazed at Caroline who was sulking,"How can you even say that, love. Don't you remember our deal? You gave me a chance. One that I wasn't able to gain in the former times that I was with you, wooing you. The privilege you have given me was paramount compared to any other. Someone can try to offer me the kingdom I've wanted to retrieve for so long, yet I'd chose to have the chance you gave me over it. You've given me more than I ever imagined you would Caroline."

"Well, you're choosing me over a lot of things. Not really sure where that would lead to."Caroline was being skeptical.

It was all just too romantic. It had Klaus written all over it, and she liked it. It irritates her that she likes it. If it was her old self, she would've smacked her face for all the craziness she's been into. Just being with Klaus in one house was absolute insanity. All the people she knew back at Mystic falls would probably throw a fit if they knew what she had been doing the past few days.

"And I'd be glad to do it again love. For the rest of my life. If that's what it takes for you to finally agree,"Niklaus was now brimming with confidence.

Caroline was confused."Agree to what?"

"In letting me show you the world Caroline. Show you the beauty and wonders of it. Experience more than just the confines of your hometown. You deserve only the best Caroline, my love."He caressed her cheek and she lovingly leaned on his hand.

"These are the times I wish we are undisturbed," he then removes his hand from her face and looks at the closed door,"but I presume that would be asking for too much. What is it, brother?"


Caroline watched as Elijah gracefully walked into the room. The last time she saw him, he was with Hayley. Caroline wondered if he was here to talk about Hayley again.

Her guess was confirmed when Hayley followed in after him. Her eyes squinted at the sight of her.

"I don't want her in my room Klaus."Caroline's voice full of authority.

Hayley scoffed,"Sure. Act like you're the boss."

Niklaus narrowed his eyes at her impudence,"I'll make sure you have your wish love."

Hayley's eyes widened at Klaus's words, taking a few steps back from the approaching hybrid. Klaus swiftly walked past Elijah and roughly held Hayley's arm, pushing her outside of Caroline's bedroom and shutting the door. After locking it, Klaus looked to Elijah and asked what he needed.

Elijah sighed and looked at Caroline for a moment before returning his attention to Klaus."What do you plan to do brother? I'm sure you know better than keeping two of your women under the same roof."

Caroline abruptly got up from the bed and headed towards the door that conjoined their rooms and went to his room, slamming the door shut behind her.

"Hayley is not, and never will be my woman. I have only one woman, and that is Caroline," Klaus hissed and made a move to follow Caroline.

"Klaus."Elijah tried to stop him but Klaus only sent him a menacing look. It only meant one thing. Hayley wasn't welcome anymore. Although Elijah knew being with Caroline had a positive effect on his mood, he can't just let go of the fact that Hayley was carrying Klaus's child.


When Elijah went down the stairs, Hayley immediately approached him.

"Well?"

Elijah shook his head."I'll find you a good place to stay Hayley. You can't stay here now, or you'll be in danger of incurring my brother's wrath if he ever sees Caroline upset because of you."

Hayley scoffed at the predicament. The hybrid would actually risk his own child for a girl he barely knew. How comical. Their child was prophesied to bring chaos to the world, which he had been doing for more than half of his life. She was bemused at the fact that Klaus was ignoring a chance to become more powerful than he already was.

"I'm not just gonna back down Elijah. I'm the one carrying his burden. I have rights."

Elijah was appalled at her words,"Don't call the child a burden Hayley. You played a part with what you call the burden's creation. The infant has no fault in this, and should not suffer your bitterness."

Hayley lowered her head so Elijah wouldn't see her face, scowling with disgust. The blonde girl was becoming a thorn in her life.


Klaus looked at Caroline that appeared to be watching something from the window.

"What has you occupied love?"

"I'm waiting for that bitch-wolf to leave." Caroline voice full of hatred.

"I suddenly fear I'll one day incur your wrath love,"Klaus didn't mean to, but a hint of nervousness escaped with his words.

Caroline laughed with sarcasm,"Like hell you will. Who are you kidding?"

Klaus felt her tension. Oh, how he hated that the she-wolf had to be present. Everything should have gone on smoothly, if not for the interference.

"I promise you love, she will never dare to disrespect you again." He made a solemn vow.

Caroline looked at him, her eyes blazing, searching for something.

"She better not." And with that Caroline turned from the window and walked back to her room.


Evening approached and Klaus decided that Caroline should experience the nightlife in New Orleans. He knocked on the door joining their bedrooms, and waited for a few seconds until Caroline opened the door. She still had a grim expression, and yet Klaus couldn't deny the fact that she was still indeed beautiful. Although a smiling face brought out the best in her, and that was what he intended to do tonight.

He walked into the room, following Caroline as she slumped back on her bed.

"You look more beautiful when you smile love"

Caroline looked at him and squinted her eyes,"There's nothing to smile about."

Klaus only grinned,"tonight love, there will be. Come, get yourself ready. We're going to have a night out."

She looked at him quizzically,"what are we going to do?"

"It's a surprise love, I have a feeling you'll like it."Klaus left a kiss on her forehead and went back to his room to get ready as well.

He decided to wear a henley, since he noticed how Caroline took more notice of him whenever he wore it. He wondered if she knew what effect it had on him whenever she would look at him, eyes darkening a bit, looking at him with want.

Soon, they would come to that. For now he had to pursue her, let her know how special she really is. She had to know it, even he had to spend the next thousand years proving it to her.


Klaus waited at the bottom of the stairs, and looked up in anticipation when he heard Caroline's footsteps. He smiled, she always managed to take her breath away every time.

She was wearing a dress again, it flowed gorgeously from her waist and ended just above her knees. She wore flat shoes this time, and her legs still looked beautiful in all its creamy splendor.

"You look stunning love,"he complimented as she walked down the stairs.

"Don't I always?" She looked at him feigning mock as she descended the final step.

Klaus laughed, making Caroline smile. And that short moment got to him, unable to resist he pulled Caroline to him and kissed her forehead.

"You do love, every single day," his voice husky.

Caroline shivered in anticipation. Being so close to him intensified the warm sultry air of New Orleans, she subconsciously lifted her head a bit to lightly brush her lip against his gorgeous stubble. Klaus groaned at Caroline's simple action that ignited the fire in him.

In a flash he pinned Caroline against the wall, so hard he heard her bones almost break against it. But Caroline's moan of pleasure kept him going on. Despite the rough way he had with her earlier, he gently brushed the tip of his nose along her jaw, letting her feel his hot breath on her neck gaining another moan from Caroline.


Caroline couldn't believe she was doing this again. But even though she knew that her friends, her mother, and even the world would disapprove, she wanted it. She didn't feel it was wrong, she only thought that everyone else saw it wrong. Her thoughts were once again disrupted by Klaus's gentle kiss on her jaw, that trailed down her neck, and finally a short but intense kiss to her lips.

After the kiss Klaus kept her suspended from the floor and pinned to the wall, not helping with Caroline's growing arousal. Unable to resist his plump lips, she leaned down and initiated the second kiss. It was a longer one, their tongues dueling, Klaus nibbling on her bottom lip, leaving her panting after.

Klaus, being pleased with her reaction continued to drop butterfly kisses on her face and finally landed on her mouth. This time the kiss was gentle, his tongue slowly teasing hers, gently biting on her bottom lip every now and then. He slowly lowered her to the ground without breaking the kiss.

Once Caroline's feet landed on the ground he withdrew from the kiss slowly, reducing it to short, chaste kisses until he stopped.

He heard her sigh dreamily, it made him smile. Before she had a chance to react to the situation, he backed away from her, held her hand, and guided her towards his car.

Niklaus had a smile lingering on his face, not being able to remove Caroline's flushed cheeks from his mind.

"What's going on?" Caroline was suspicious of the smile that Klaus seems to have temporarily pasted on his face.

"I'm just having a wonderful evening sweetheart," Klaus grinned at her.

Caroline's cheeks reddened again after realizing what he was referring to. She thought of making up an excuse for her actions, but looked at Klaus. He looked happy for once. Not because of a great kill, or another step towards domination. It was because they had kissed. Could a simple action really make him that happy? She questioned herself. If she came up with another snide remark about what happened, she'll ruin his mood, and put another stain on their newly found friendship.

"Don't let it get to your head. You won't always get it," she said instead. She was proud for not saying anything mean about him this time.

Klaus chuckled," does that mean that there are times I will then?"

"No! I didn't say that.I just... it's... don't..." she continued to stutter. Not knowing how to make a comeback, as she had made her remark a rather open ended one. He did make a point.

She glared when Klaus laughed."Don't worry love, it won't happen again."

She relaxed when he said that.

"Unless you initiate it, of course." His husky voice partnered with his statement made her tense.

For the rest of the ride she stayed like that, muscles tensed.

Nice going Klaus, she thought. She scoffed at her idea of being nice and decided to abandon it.
