Chapter 13
I'm so sorry for the long update guys, exams are fast approaching and I'm trying to revise! Trying being the operative word, enjoy this chapter J
'Er hi Rebekah' I say to her almost sheepishly I am in her house after all.
'I know this isn't a dinner party or anything but really Caroline, pyjamas' Rebekah says haughtily.
'we're doing a movie night' I say defensively, I see discomfort flash across her face but then it's gone, and I have a pitying moment for her. However, knowing she won't take pity well I say,
'you're going to need to change, otherwise I'm not the one who is going to look out of place' I say flashing her a smile.
She gives me a suspicious look back before she reluctantly turns around to go back upstairs and change.
'oh and bring down your duvet with you!' I shout up after her.
I head into the living room but no one is in there so I quickly settle myself on one of the sofa's plopping my duvet down to mark it as my space, I then set my bag down and pull out the film's; by the time I'm done getting everything set up Kol has wandered down, his duvet slung over his shoulder.
He throws it down next to mine and I send him a mock glare
'where are your pyjamas' I glare at his jeans.
'I don't really do pyjamas darling' he says with a wink
'oh gosh I did not need that mental imagery, is that a mikaelson thing or something? Sleeping without clothes on! I know back in dinosaur years' pyjamas hadn't been invented yet but you guys seemed to have adapted to everything else' I finish my tangent with a huff as Kol bursts out laughing and a disgruntled Rebekah makes her way into the room putting her duvet on the other side of me.
'We are not from dinosaur times, just because you're a baby everything feels old to you' she says indignantly.
'so you're saying it is a mikaelson thing?' I shoot back
'Not for some of us, although Klaus and Kol have never really been very partial to clothes. Even when we were human Nik would swim in the falls naked, and Kol would wander around in just some briefs on hot days. No matter how scandalous it was to do so' she says the last bit glaring at Kol's mischievous smirk.
We laugh and chat some more, and I find myself coming to like Rebekah she's got a good heart and we have a similar sense of humour; I find myself relaxing.
Her attention turns to the table where I have laid out the films.
'All boy films really?' Rebekah says looking at me surprised.
'Trust me, John Wick is for us really' I say giving her a secretive look and a wink.
We giggle at each other and Kol becomes suspicious, eyes narrowing and daring between us. Klaus and Elijah take that moment to walk in the front door and I hear others entering behind them, I see them both stop dead when they see me sandwiched between Rebekah and Kol my feet resting on the latter and giggling with Rebekah.
Elijah looks like he's very amused and Klaus gives me a panty dropping grin, I give him a big smile back he looks gorgeous. Him and Elijah are loaded with shopping bags and now that they have stopped, the guys behind them run into the back of them.
'where would you like this Mr Mikaelson Sir' one of the guys says.
The two men walk into the room carrying what I assume to be a very large TV the walk over to the wall Klaus is pointing at and begin unwrapping and setting up the TV. I give Rebekah a confused look but she just shrugs.
Klaus and Elijah disappear to the kitchen I assume before they are back in the lounge.
'so what's first love?' Klaus says sitting down.
'first you and Elijah need to go and get changed and get blankets' I say happy we can finally start now they have got here.
I get a glare from Klaus before he and Elijah both flash away.
'what first then'
'I for one want to see this John Wick film you seem so excited about' Kol says suspiciously.
'then we should watch Constantine, and end on a harry potter marathon' Rebekah says enthusiastically. During our talk I'd found out she was much like me in regards to being a Harry Potter fan.
'yay' I giggle excited it's a great film, I love John Wick's character!
Klaus and Elijah come back down and Klaus is now in clothes of his that look more actually worn, black sweat pants and a skin tight black shirt. Whereas Elijah is in a long sleeved matching pale blue pyjama set, Klaus takes his duvet and sits in an armchair looking uncomfortable and awkward.
I feel an odd emotion for him, I suppose it's the addition of a duvet and sitting alone with me squeezed in between his family, and him so far away. I'm pretty confident that they wouldn't hurt me by now but even so when Elijah has nowhere to sit I get up from under the warmth of mine Rebekah and Kol's body heat. Ignoring their protests.
'Elijah sit' I say pointing at my recently occupied seat.
'and where will you sit Caroline' Elijah says giving me a look that says sit back down.
I go over to Klaus who is actually looking rather confused along with everyone else.
'get up' I say impatiently
He glares at me 'why would I do that; I'm sitting here' he says annoyed that I'm trying to kick him out of his seat.
'just trust me get up' I say glowering even more impatient.
He gets up sulkily like a child pouting, although angrier and more dangerous. I quickly go to the armchair and throw the cushions off and onto the floor. There are a lot of cushions for an armchair and it gives a lot more room, slightly more uncomfortable maybe but roomier.
I grab my duvet and spread it over the chair giving it a bit more cushioning, then I grab Klaus's duvet.
'hey' he snaps 'first my chair now my covers' he looks more confused than angry now though.
'sit' I say angry this is taking so long.
Klaus sits down and everyone looks more confused than ever, before I squish in next to him and pull his duvet over us. The now three Mikaelson's on the opposite sofa now wear matching smirks and Klaus looks very happy now.
'if you wanted to be closer to me sweetheart all you had to do was ask' Klaus says grinning
'you looked all awkward and angstsy and Elijah needed somewhere to sit' I shrug 'now let's watch john Wick' I say grinning at Rebekah.
We quickly settle down and the curtains are quickly shut and the lights turned off, the movie starts and me and Rebekah shoot each other looks when Daisy turns up, we also tear up when she's killed.
Rebekah looks at me matching tears in our eyes her lip wobbles and she says 'she was only a puppy'
'wait for it' I say equally as shaken, I normally skip this bit.
The guys all have blank looks on their faces so I sniff into Klaus's shoulder for comfort and he wraps his arm around my waist and tucks the duvet more tightly around me. it's a sweet gesture for Klaus and I miss the glare he shoots at a smirking Rebekah before bringing me closer to him.
The film progresses and I see the guys becoming intrigued, when the father of the Russian kid is explaining about John Wick and you see him in the shower Rebekah shoots me a grin and she mumbles 'I get it now' then she lets out a low whistle I join her letting out a laugh.
'see that's just unrealistic' Elijah says breaking the silence.
'he could have easily just shot him then' Kol chirps in at the bath scene.
Klaus hums his agreement and I roll my eyes. The movie continues nicely and the next bit that warrants any commentary is when the female assassin is trying to kill John.
Kol snorts 'I'd snap her pretty little neck as soon as I heard her coming'
'why doesn't he just compel her'
I groan 'he's not a bloody vampire! He's just a human who is awesome at fighting and looks hot doing it' I say exasperated.
'bloody, you sound like us' Bekah says.
'so you enjoy watching fighting' Elijah says slyly.
'only when it's for a good reason then it's hot' I mumble my eyes glued to the screen distractedly.
All the Mikaelson's share a grin directed at a smug Klaus before we are redirected to the film, the rest of the film progresses quickly and everyone agrees that it was an awesome choice by the end although Klaus mentions that he would have drawn out Yosef's death for longer.
'have you guys ever had any pet's' I ask curiously
'not really, we were moving around a lot we never really had the time. But we should get one! Please Nik please!' Rebeckah says pouting at her brother.
'I'll think about it Rebekah' he says looking at me grumpily like its somehow my fault, I smirk back.
The rest of the evening is smooth with a lot of laughing and jokes, and sarcastic comments, I convert all of the Mikaelson's to harry potter, except Rebekah who is already a fan, the most surprising reaction is of Elijah who decides that he is ordering the books as soon as it finishes.
We finish and by this time it's been almost 24 hours and its lunchtime again the next day, we are all yawning and bleary eyed and now that the last film is over and we are just sitting around talking its really relaxed and the extended time in each other's company with only bathroom and food breaks has made us closer somehow.
'as fun as this was I really need some sleep' Rebekah says around a yawn.
'Me too, I'd better be getting home' I say grinning at her blearily and attempt to extract myself from Klaus's grip, he remains stubbornly attached to me refusing to let me go however. How odd that the big bad hybrid seems to love to cuddle.
I don't have the energy to put up too much of a fight though I'm tired and content here.
'you're welcome to stay here love' Klaus says giving me an adorable look, I raise my eyebrow at him saying really?
'just sleep Caroline, we're friends, Friends have sleepovers' he says throwing my words against me.
'Fine but that's all s-l-e-e-p'
'as you wish sweetheart'
We wish the others goodnight and after a cheeky wink from Kol and hugs from me much to all the originals surprise, we head into Klaus's room.
His room in all dark colours the huge wooden bedframe stands central in the room it's a dark rich colour and the sheets are almost black, there is a small area around a fireplace with a sofa, desk and side table and two doors leading out of his room; upon further investigation I discover one leading to a gorgeous en-suite and then he other leading to a walk in wardrobe.
'this is shameful' I mutter to myself 'all of this room and he barley uses half of it' tutting I turn around to exit and see an amused Klaus has been watching me avidly, I blush at my noseyness before sitting on the bed.
'I'm just going to get a shower love, make yourself comfortable' Klaus says with a small but genuine smile as he disappears into the bathroom and the sound of water running can be heard.
I grab the duvet that Klaus had unceremoniously dropped on the bed, I shuck of my sweatshirt and socks leaving just my pyjama top and sweats on underneath before getting in bed and getting comfortable.
Klaus soon comes out of the bathroom in a pair of pyjama bottoms and a skin-tight t-shirt he quickly turns off the light and gets in bed with me; his breathing starts to change and mellow out but I can't get to sleep. It's odd it's like I'm over tired, I twist and turn until Klaus interrupts me.
'are you always this much of a fidget when you sleep love' his deep voice purrs.
'I can't get comfortable, I'm sorry if I'm keeping you up I can go sleep downstairs' I say softly preparing to get up.
Instead a warm arm reaches out and grabs me pulling me into him, he wraps his arm around my waist and I'm left with no choice but to rest my head on his chest.
'of course, I don't want you to leave sweetheart' the deep timbre returns.
'you could have just said that' I grouse.
'where would be the fun in that love'
'When I was little I always had trouble going down for a nap, my parents struggled with me constantly fighting against sleep and then if I went without I was grumpy all day, i feel like that now' I reminisce.
'I can imagine that you've always had that fire Caroline, unwilling to submit to anyone's will but you own. I admire that about you sweetheart' Klaus's voice is soothing to me and I feel myself sink into him more.
'did you parents ever figure out how to get you to sleep without being harmed' he continues amused.
'They had different techniques my mum would drive me around in the car or trick me by pretending to fall asleep next to me, and my dad would take of his shirt and lay me over his heartbeat skin to skin or if he couldn't do that stroke my hair and tell me stories' I say as a tear escapes me at the thought of my dad.
No Not Tonight Caroline I berate myself don't go there.
I feel a shift in Klaus as he sits up and then he's quickly back to where he was before, except he's lost his shirt.
'klaus, what are you doing' I hiss angrily.
'relax sweetheart' he says moving my head to his chest, he starts stroking my hair and it all comes together, he's trying to soothe me like my dad did.
'I'm not a child anymore Klaus' I say around a yawn, although his actions are surprisingly sweet.
'of course not sweetheart, now let me tell you about this girl with long blond hair in golden ringlets…' Klaus begins to tell me the slightly gruesome version of goldilocks and the three bears, and I smile big against him.
His heart is in the right place, I think to myself, he's trying to be sweet and caring. For me he is trying. I place a kiss over his heart before I let myself surrender to sleep.
