I was thinking about 8x01 with steroline and there's a gif manip on tumblr of Klaus being in Stefan's place at the beginning of the ep and I also was very happy about the possible klaroline reunion happening next season and maybe the last Originals episode so I made this. :)
The curtains drawn made it easier to pretend they were still going to get sleep at some point, Klaus kissed her again and Caroline pulled him with her, rolling them over and tangling the sheets between their bare limbs. Their hair had gotten severely disheveled, and when Caroline pulled back to look at him with his curly hair in his eyes, she smiled. He grinned back and pulled her harder against him, earning a squeal of delight with his nose buried in her neck.
Eventually the sun poked through, and it cast a long enough beam of light to remind them both they had full days ahead of them. And so they stopped, just laid on the bed, and stayed in silence for a bit. Hope wasn't up yet. The twins were over at Alaric's place for the week. And no one had called either Klaus or Caroline with an update about something new and terrible going on. So Caroline enjoyed the feeling. She could feel Klaus's heartbeat against her ear. His gentle stroking of her hair, at first calming the chaos then just enjoying the feel, was comforting to say the least.
And Klaus reveled in the fact that he had this. Her arm was tucked up underneath her, digging into his side in an oddly comfortable way. And her other hand was just resting on his chest, like it belonged there. And he knew that it did.
Then there was a knock on the door. Hayley, fortunately. They catapulted from the bed and put on enough clothes to stave off comments from the hybrid woman. They shared a look and Klaus went for the door while Caroline disappeared into the bathroom.
Klaus opened it enough to see Hayley's face.
"Bout time you two got up." She noted
"What is it, Hayley?" He asked tiredly
"Elijah went down to the witch cemetery. He said you needed to go to find him if he isn't back before sunrise."
"I assume you're coming with me." Klaus said.
"Only if you promise not to talk about Caroline too much." She replied. Klaus raised an eyebrow and Hayley chuckled to herself as she turned away, knowing that promise wouldn't be kept.
Klaus closed the door and began to search for more clothes. Caroline came out of the bathroom in a pencil skirt and a bra, Klaus was unable to help looking her up and down because of it.
"Alaric requested a video chat a minute ago. Seline's going to be keeping her eye on them today until I can go over there." Caroline said with a newly irritated voice. Since she had come to Klaus last year, alaric had found there was another branch of the armory in Lousiana, not far from New Orleans. He'd hired a nanny for when Caroline and Klaus were unable to take the girls. "The girls told me about their day so far." She added, Klaus gesturing for her to go on. She began talking about the many things the girls loved Seline doing.
"…And then she cut their sandwiches into the shapes of little hearts and stars. With no crust." She huffed, picking up a shirt from off the ground.
"Well if you'd like I could compel her never waste the edges of an already unhealthy choice of bread again."
"If Ric had hired the old lady nanny, then my kids wouldn't be wasting perfectly good parts of the sandwich." She snapped, trying not to smile at the sound of Klaus not being able to hold his laughter in. Klaus watched through the mirror as she put her shirt back on, mournful of the loss of such a sight. "Millions of people in this world go hungry every single day while our hot nanny is getting all sparkly with their food." Klaus smirked and stood up to pull Caroline in, dropping a kiss on her mouth.
"Are you worried Alaric is susceptible to the charms of the young woman?" He asked.
"Maybe" She said. "He's running the Armory every minute he's away from Lizzie and Josie. Sleeping on a futon and probably not eating full square meals."
"Well if you would like, I could drop by the armory and bring him some food from that Italian restaurant that's just opened up." Klaus suggested.
"Ric likes Chinese better." Caroline murmured, eyeing him.
"There's one on fifth." He countered. Caroline grinned and pulled Klaus in to kiss him again. She broke the kiss and stared in his half-open eyes.
"Thank you." She replied gently.
"Anything for you, love." He murmured and kissed her again.
"What are your plans for today" He asked with a smile, falling on the edge of the bed as Caroline flew through the room looking for shoes.
"Bonnie needs me to send a witch talisman back to her from here; apparently it's supposed to help bring Enzo back to this world." Caroline said. She flashed a grin. "Enzo is one step closer to coming home."
"I'm sure the she will get it by sundown. Especially if I send someone to help you." He offered. Caroline considered him.
"If this person keeps me from doing what I need to today, you'll hear from Marcel that they're laying under a bush with their neck broken." She said. Klaus put his hands up.
"I swear on my life. They will be at your complete disposal." He replied. Caroline grinned.
"Thank you." She found one of her shoes behind a mirror. "What are you planning on doing today?"
"Oh, saving Elijah from some witch problem. God knows my brother may be honorable but he is certainly not wise." Caroline stood up.
"Do you think you'll need help?"
"Nah, Hayley will come with. Besides she'll probably do more of the rescuing than I. Those two are a fairytale wrapped up in a Shakespeare tragedy." Klaus replied. She shook her head.
"You better hope she didn't hear that." Caroline warned. He shrugged and reached out a hand for her which she took. His arms went around her waist and he raised his chin to look up at her, Caroline's arms draping over his shoulders.
"Seriously love. Be careful today. If that talisman requires more of you than you can give we'll find another way."
"I have to help Bonnie."
"Not by sacrificing your own life. I'd sooner watch Enzo become trapped in hell than his prison break be staged by your injury or death." Klaus murmured. Caroline leaned down and her blonde hair fell over his shoulder as well, her nose brushing his.
"Okay. Well you better not get trapped in some witch spell while trying to save your brother. I'd rather not kill anyone but if I have to…" She trailed off. Klaus stared deeply in her eyes and hooked his hand around the back of her neck, throwing her down onto the bed and himself on top of her. Caroline kissed Klaus for a minute, but as his kisses trailed down her neck she had to push him off.
"Enzo won't be closer to Bonnie if you keep me here all day. Same with your brother." Caroline warned. Klaus sighed and sat up while Caroline escaped, leaving the door open and taking her other shoe with her.
