That morning, Barry was the first to wake. He still noticed the moon in the sky meaning the wolves hadn't shifted back yet.

The sky was still pretty dark but it was soothing and a shade of navy blue. Dark clouds lined the sky over the ocean, blending in with its surroundings, those surroundings being the dark ocean, sand and sky.

He checked the time on his phone and saw that it was 5:30 AM. No big deal. Barry jumped out of bed and paddled over to the fire which was burnt to a crisp. Ashes lined the marble floor around the pit as a few flurries of fire remained struggling on the tainted wood.

The air was chilly and Barry ran his hands over the sleeves of his sweatshirt, his famous STAR LABS sweatshirt. He wore it a lot to remind him of home. Central City's meta population has diminished a lot, so thats why he decided to take on the world. Of course, he was only a phone call away incase anyone needed anything.

He talked to Joe almost everyday. He would check in to make sure Barry was doing alright, maybe also to make sure he has friends and a social life. He was happy to hear about Caroline and Grace, he actually met them once when they took a weekend trip to Central City a few years ago. Caroline and Grace always tell Barry to say 'hi' to Joe for them whenever they hear him talking to him on the phone, or when they stalk his messages.

Though Barry loves his new friends, Caroline, Grace, Klaus, Leo and even Kara and Mon el, he still did miss his STAR LABS team. He missed Harry and HR, the two Wells. HR was annoying at first and Harry was a distrusting doppelganger of Eobard Thawne, but they turned out to be his best friends.

He missed Caitlyn and Cisco too, though he did see Cisco a few days ago, he decided it to call him to see whats been happening.

"Pick up please," Barry mumbled as he paced around the cabana… quietly.

"HI BARRY!" Barry jumped at the voice.

"Shut up you're going to wake everyone up!" Barry whisper shouted as he ran into the cabin thing. "We have vampire-hybrid things here remember?"

"Sorry! The time difference is weird here, we're getting ready for bed now."

"We?"

"Not the time Barry."

"Okay whatever, hows things going on earth 19?"

"It's getting better… we're handling it well enough. Gypsy and Breacher are working well together and I think he's starting to like me… though Gypsy and I did break up."

"Did?"

"Not the time Bartholomew James Allen!"

"My middle name isn't James."

"Shut up," Cisco groaned. "How are things on your tropical end?"

"It's actually pretty great. Kara and Mon el just got engaged."

"They did? Tell them I said congratulations! Ugh I cant wait for the wedding."

"How do you even know they'll invite you?"

"Yeah tell them to do that too… maybe one for Gypsy and Breacher as well…"

"No offense to Breacher, but, I don't think they want that scary man at their wedding."

"Honestly, I wouldn't either."

"But if you marry his daughter then you're kinda screwed dude."

"BARTHOLOMEW!"

"Stop full naming me SanfranCISCO."

Cisco groaned on the other side of the line.

"Crisco…" Barry added.

"I'm going to kill you Allen."

Barry chuckled, "You're on another earth you can't get me."

Suddenly the line cut off and Barry felt someone tap him on the shoulder. "Crap, right, forgot."

"I can open freakin portals with my mind, you really think I would let you get away with that comment?" He grinned playfully.

"I missed you, all of you."

"Dude we're always here, with you. You've known that since day one."

"I know, I just forget sometimes."

"Do you miss HR?"

"Yes."

"Wanna say hi?"

"Yes!"

Suddenly the door opened and something walked inside.

"What the bleep is that?!" Cisco hid behind Barry.

"Chill Cisco it's just a werewolf."

"A WEREWOLF! BARRY IT'S A WEREWOLF!"

The wolf looked at them and tried to grin the best the wolf form could be.

"Who is that…?"

Barry didn't remember the colors of Klaus and Leo's fur from last night so he looked out of the small cabin to see who was missing from their beds. "It's Leo."

"LEO!" Wolf-Leo rolled his eyes. "Hey."

Wolf-Leo walked up to him and held out his paw. Cisco held out his hand and wolf-Leo high "pawed" it.

"I just high-pawed a werewolf," Cisco laughed and watched as the wolf nodded to Barry as if to say hello, and vanished out of the cabin.

"Wait Leo?" Barry called.

Wolf-Leo stuck his head back inside.

"I'm going on a quick trip with Cisco to visit an old friend, can you tell the others if I'm not back in time?"

The wolf nodded.

"And tell Kara and Mon el I'm happy for them and Gypsy and I said congratulations," Cisco added.

He nodded again and disappeared outside.

"Ready?" Cisco turned to Barry.

"Hell yeah lets go."

The waves crashed silently on the beach, basking in the morning sunlight.

The steam of the shower flowed around Grace as she ran shampoo through her slick hair. She thought back to her morning with Leo, or wolf-Leo. They ran around the beach together and played fetch with a frisbee that they made Barry run and get from a nearby store before he left with Cisco, who randomly popped up for some reason she couldn't figure out. He's still in wolf form, she expected it to go away throughout the night, but this is lasting longer. They weren't supposed to shift last night, hybrids can control when they turn.

Ever since they all gathered together at her apartment the night before they left, things have been… strange. The dreams have gotten out of hand, though no one had one tonight, thank god. Yesterday morning, she felt so bad for Klaus and the day before Leo and Gypsy. Something weird is going on but it won't ruin their trip.

She felt like she hadn't showered in days even though she only just did yesterday. These past few days have been the longest, yet best of her life. She is dating Leo now, finally.

Grace turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a soft towel around herself. The shower was located in the small cabin where their food and bathroom were. She threw her hair up quickly as she dried off, stepping into new clothes she had brought in before. She wore a simple outfit for their third morning in Aruba. Her top was a soft velvet-like blue shirt paired with simple black leggings and some slightly heeled flats. She dabbed her towel on her wet hair and then brushed through it. She added some simple product to it and then brushed it out again. She opened her bag, applied a simple layer of makeup to her face, and made her lips a shade of soft pink. She gathered up all of her items and shoved them back into her bag as she stepped outside of the cabin, breathing in the fresh air and not the mugginess of the steamy cabin. It was still pretty early, almost 7:20. She looked around the cabana and saw that everyone was still sleeping except Leo who was rolling around on the sand, still in his wolf form. Barry was gone with Cisco, claiming to visit someone by the name "HR". Klaus was still in his wolf form as well, his tail wagging slightly as he slept and Caroline rubbed his back unconsciously.

They were seriously perfect and needed to get together already… But maybe they are, her and Leo were keeping it secret, maybe they are too. Kara and Mon el were cuddled up together in bed, basking in the new light of being newly engaged. Rebekah and Stefan were still in bed as well, enjoying each others presences.

Their lives felt like a movie, she just got the man of her dreams after a long, complicated state of denial and Kara and Mon el got engaged as well and Klaus and Caroline maybe, possibly, confessing. Plus, there was that suspense with the dreams and the wolves the past few days, there's always conflict in a story.

She walked down the two single steps leading up the cabin and stepped onto the marble floor that rested around some parts of the cabana. Wolf-Leo noticed her and ran over to nuzzle at her legs.

"Leo!" She whisper shouted as she giggled, petting his head. "You should do this more often you are literally adorable."

She looked over the ocean and noticed the moon starting to fade from the morning sky. "You'll shift back when the moon is gone right?"

He nodded as he rolled around in the sand more, like a giant puppy.

"Why not we take a walk? I'll bring a blanket and your clothes for when you shift back."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The sun struck her eyes as she started to stir. She tried to ignore it and go back to sleep by nuzzling into her pillow, but to her surprise, she wasn't on a pillow.

Caroline opened her eyes to see a mound of fur underneath her.

Oh, right. The wolves. Last night. They kissed, they confessed. Oh, god.

She felt herself rising and falling as wolf-Klaus breathed underneath her. Slowly, she sat up and let the blanket fall to her waist. She checked her phone and saw that it was 8:20 AM, the moon sets fully in 10 minutes, he would turn back then and she will have to face him for real. Last night she told him that she loved him, now he would actually be able to respond.

Sighing, she put her head in her hands and scanned her surroundings. Kara and Mon el were still asleep, cuddling each other like they didn't want to let go, Barry was gone and so was Leo and Grace. Rebekah and Stefan were also still asleep, cuddling in a similar position as Kara and Mon el but buried totally under the sheets. With vamp hearing she could hear her talking to Leo somewhere further down the beach but she couldn't hear Barry at all.

She turned around to finally look at Klaus. He was in the same exact position as last night, lying on his wolf stomach with his face resting in his… paws? Yeah, sure paws.

She inched onto the bed so she was close to him and started to rub his head. His fur was soft and easy to run her hands through. As her fingers ran in the space between his eyes, they twitched slightly which made her laugh. She could stay like this forever, not having to face him when he would respond to her declaration of love when he shifts back. Hopefully, he would stay asleep when he turns back… maybe shifting into a wolf takes a lot out of him. She can't face him, not yet…

Would he leave? Does he not feel the same and stepping that far frightened him? She tried to rid her mind of those ridiculous thoughts but she couldn't help it.

She needed to think so she sat up against the headboard. As if sensing her absence, wolf-Klaus shifted so his head was resting directly in her lap. She tried not to scream so she wouldn't wake him or anyone up, but she really wanted to. He was fully uncovered now, the blanket was off of him so of he shifted, everyone, including her, would see him… naked. So, she grabbed the blanket, carefully, and draped it around him. Soothingly, she ran her hands over his head and couldn't help but smile.

Maybe he will say he loves her back. Maybe he will kiss her again like he had done last night.

Right, they had kissed. She remembered the sweet taste of his lips as they brushed across hers. His lips were always for some reason bright or a shade of red. She would ask him why he had such perfect lips and his answer would always be something half-ass or cocky.

He looked beautiful as a wolf. The golden early morning sun rays illuminated his dark fur, something she didn't see last night in the moonlight.

She felt like she was there for hours upon hours, days upon days. She couldn't move because she didn't want to disturb him, and she couldn't call anyone because Kara and Mon el were asleep, Barry was god knows where and Grace and Leo were down the beach, hopefully being discreet about Leo's wolf form.

Suddenly, she felt the fur she was running her hands through turn into messy curly hair. Her body stiffened as she felt some weight lifted off her lap.

"Leo!" She heard Grace yell from a distance.

She could see them now, coming back from their walk as Leo tried to fumble on clothes behind the sheet Grace was holding up. That reminded her that Klaus was totally naked under that sheet that she luckily covered him with.

Daring to look down, she felt him move slightly, only nuzzling into her lap more. She felt electricity jolt through her body as his hot breath itched at her stomach where her shirt was riding up.

After a few minutes of thinking, she looked down at him. He looked completely and utterly adorable. This reminded her of yesterday morning when she woke up to him hugging her, but this time it felt strangely different. Not a bad different, but a good different. In the time she's known Klaus, she would never expect him to be a cuddler, but he is. She watched as his bright lips that she kissed last night twitched and parted slightly. His face was on his side so she could only see half of it, which she wasn't complaining. His eye lashes curled perfectly over his closed eyes as his hair fell in messy, curly, ringlets. She continued to stroke his hair and put her other hand on his shoulder.

She wondered what he was going to be like when he woke up. Would he remember anything from last night? Did he even remember her saying that she loved him? Maybe he would think he killed her and start freaking out, thinking that another person he cares for was gone.

They stayed just like that for a good 20 minutes, her watching him, and him being in total oblivion. Maybe, maybe she snuck one picture against her better judgment. Unfortunately he started to stir, his eye brows narrowing and his breath picking up it's usually faster tempo.

This was it. She was going to find out right there if he loves her back, if he remembered last night, or if he thinks she's dead. Or maybe they would just be stuck in an awkward position and he would die of utter embarrassment. A part of her was anxious for him to wake and respond to last night, but another part of her wanted him to stay asleep forever, both so she could contemplate last night and keep him this vulnerable.

Hoping for the best, she watched as his eyes slowly opened. He didn't move, he only blinked to regain focus on his vision and closed his eyes once again.

"Klaus?" She whispered, doing her best to not startle him.

His eyes shot open and he jumped up, breathing heavily and trying to regain awareness of his surroundings.

"Hey hey, calm down I'm here," she moved to put both of her hands on his shoulders and make him face her.

His eyes were wide, alert and confused. "Y-You're alive," he managed.

Yup, she knew it. "Of course I'm alive."

He let his head hang low as he closed his eyes, his hands holding him up on the bed.

"D-Do you remember what happened?" She asked daringly.

"Hold on, just, just give me a second…"

Nodding sympathetically, she moved to sit against the head board once again.

After about two minutes, his eyes returned to hers. "I remember."

She took a deep breath and clenched her lips together. "And…"

Making sure the blanket was still around his waist he swiftly moved closer to her, so close that his lips were devouring hers once more.

She gasped in surprise just before he caught her lips. It felt like that moment lasted for eternity, just them, no one else there to witness it.

He backed away, leaving his forehead on hers, breathing in the same air she breathed out just like last night. "I-I remember." Their chests rose and fell in tight heavy breaths as they tried to tame their uneven breathing. "I love you too."
