Hi guys hope you enjoyed the last chapter it was a bit longer than normal but I hope you guys didn't get bored. Enjoy this chapter there is more talking and the introduction of some more characters hopefully!
'can we just pretend that didn't happen' I looked at Klaus pleadingly, but as soon as the words left my mouth I knew it wasn't going to happen.
'it was an unforgettable experience sweetheart, and not one I've had the pleasure of doing before' Klaus spoke honestly.
'what do you mean, you've never let anyone feed of you? You let me on my birthday' I said hesitantly
' yes well you're different love normally I let people suck on an open wound and even then only on the wrist; no one has bitten my before however and defiantly not on my neck' Klaus says looking at me straight in the eye showing me he had no doubts that he really believed I was special.
'well then thank you' I said bravely
' I dare say it was a pleasurable experience for the both of us sweetheart' Klaus says letting that smirk leak onto his face yet again, that smirk promised so many things debauched, wicked depraved things; that I had no business desiring but when they were promised by that smirk I was helplessly ensnared in the web that was Klaus.
'well I'd better be off then sweetheart, you need your rest you have a school tomorrow after all' he said mischievously.
'you could stay... if you wwant to' I stumble tripping over my words in a rush to get them out of my mouth.
Klaus raises an eyebrow inquisitively, his eyes burning darker, and I blush.
'not like that pervert, I mean like on the sofa in my room there could still be a big bad around and who better to protect me than you?' I trail off
Klaus looks at me debatingly for a moment as though he is assessing if I'm playing some sort of game with him or if my intentions are actually genuine. As though he has found some sort of answer in my eyes his lip twists. 'if you wanted a sleepover all you had to do was ask sweetheart, I'm happy to protect you from this mysterious, what did you call it? Big bad?' he smiles rare and genuinely.
I smile back I love playful Klaus before flashing to the kichen with my empty dishes and leftover snacks and coming back to grab my duvet and covers, I hesitantly look behind me to see Klaus picking up the rest of my blankets and pillows before following me to my room. I immediately start making me bed with my sheets, I'm one of those people who is always cold and being a vampire didn't seem to change that as much as dull it, saying this I procede to layer up my bed with the assortment of blankets and duvets that I have placing my pillows back in place before surveying my work; I catch Klaus looking at me with a bemused look on his face.
'are you quite sure you have enough blankets there sweetheart' he smiles impishly
'I get cold alright yes I know I'm a vampire but vampires still get cold and I always ran extra cold as a human' I say daring him to laugh at me.
He holds up his hands in defence and goes to sit on the sofa in my room, it's just a small loveseat I realise, and looking at Klaus now I don't see how he will every rest comfortably on it his muscled body will be hanging off it. But still as he turns to lay back propping his feet over the end until his knees rest on the arm, and tucking his arm under his head so that it rests comfortably I can't help but feel bad I go over to my double bed and pick up a pillow and my favourite duvet. I return to him to see him watching me; gently I move to grab his arm continuing when I see him nod minutely his eyes still following me, I untuck his arm and lay it down at his side before gently pulling his curls to get him to sit forward he does and I tuck he pillow securely under his head. Next I grab the duvet and waft it over him letting it fall and cover his body I gently take off his boots and tuck up his feet giggling to myself at the thought of tucking in Klaus mikaelson, the man millions fear, and here I am making sure he's snug as a bug in a rug. I continue giggling as I tuck him in and laugh outright when I see the almost indignant expression on his face, he looks so very happy and yet so very uncomfortable.
'erm not that I don't appreciate the hands roaming my body moment love, but what exactly have you done to me' Klaus asks while trying to glare and failing miserably.
'I tucked you in silly' I say impishly
'tucked me into what love?'
'I tucked you into bed Klaus you know like snug as a bug in a rug? Don't let the bedbugs bite?' I continue watching the confused expression on his face.
'its something parents do to their children when they are young it makes them feel safe, like nothing can get them because they have been tucked in by their mum or dad and so there is this kind of magic that protects you because your mu would never hurt you and so all the bad things stay away because your mums spell is there to ward them off' I trail of feeling silly, out of all the people Klaus has met and all the things he has done and here he is listening to me trying to explain the magical feeling of being tucked in as a child. Then I realise Klaus was never tucked in as a child, he was beaten and abused and never got to feel safe or loved or protected, and then I get mad. How could someone do that to an innocent little boy? Someone who just wanted love and approval, and yes maybe a god damn tuck in! I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Klaus' soft 'thank you Caroline, for giving this to me'
I smile despite my anger then because Klaus said thank you I look to him anger still in my eyes but a smile on my face and say quietly 'I'm just a baby vampire Klaus, I doubt I could ever make someone like you feel safe, but your welcome anyways everyone deserves to be tucked in, even if it is just once' I smile
'who says it'll just be once sweetheart' Klaus says mischievously, breaking the mood 'I'm quite enjoying this, I'm surrounded by your delicious scent it's a cocoon for my senses that I'm not sure I'll ever want to leave' he says sniffing my pillow.
I try and look disgusted, but I'm sure I fail miserably, because I know what he means it's like even his smell is attractive, like it calls to me on some other level chemically, and I can't yet figure out what it means. With that thought I make my way to the bathroom and get ready for bed before coming back into my room closing the door turning the light off and jumping into bed burrowing under my covers. Hopefully I won't be cold tonight what with the loan of my duvet. I close my eyes and try and sleep, mercifully sleep comes soon and just before oblivion takes me I whisper 'night klaus' and hear the muted rely of 'goodnight love' before my eyes close.
Sometime later I wake up and look at the clock on my bedside table it's the middle of the night and my sleepy brain can't figure out why I'm awake, and then I shiver and realise that I'm cold, I get up on instinct and make my way over to the warm creature in my room, how dare it have warmth while I don't. I will steal its warmth I think evilly before going to it and grabbing its covering, ahhhh delicious warmth I think wrapping it around myself, its awake now looking at me, I don't want to leave it here to die in these arctic temperatures I think, poor thin it only had one cover to begin with. I grab its arm and pull it over to my cocoon getting under and wrapping my many coverings around us both. There now we will both be warm I think happily getting ready to go back to sleep.
'love, not that I'm objecting but what are you doing' a sexy accented voice asks
'cold we share' I grumble grabbing a warm arm to me and plastering it to my body soaking in the heat I sigh contentedly hearing a chuckle before drifting back to sleep.
And that's it for today guys sorry for the long wait on the update but I have not abandoned this story! I hope the long chapter makes up for it and that you guys enjoy sleepy caroline, more characters next chapter I promise! I just got distracted with sleepy Klaus in this one hope you enjoyed J
