Klaus was rushed inside as Caroline already had something in plan. Nothing could be that spontaneous for her.

"So, I didn't pick where we would go first. I wasn't sure. But I made a quick packing list, and have a list of airports that can quickly get us international flights. So I was think-"

"Caroline," Klaus said gently, interrupting her. "You do realize we're vampires right? I can easily take care of this. Where do you want to go?'

Caroline thought for a moment. "I'm..not sure. God, I've got the whole world but I'm not sure where to go. Maybe Paris? Tokyo? London? Rome? Rome. Maybe we could go to Rome? There's so much history there. We could see the colosseum. Or-"

Klaus smiled, haven't been this happy since the day he met his daughter, Hope. The girl he had been pining over for years, loving for years, is finally his. And not only that, she's traveling with him too. He was going to be able to show her the world, the one he had came to love so dearly,

"Rome it is."

There they were on a 2 am flight to Rome. Caroline had quickly fallen asleep, exhausted from the long day.

Klaus, just could not fall asleep.

His desire to admire the sleeping beauty overpowered his need for sleep. God, she was so beautiful. The way her hair spilled over her shoulders, the look of peacefulness on her face as she slept, he had never seen anyone as pure as her.

That's a reason he had denied himself Caroline all these years.

She was too good for him. No matter how hard he had tried, he was never truly good. The only things that actually made him feel human was his daughter, Hope. - and of course, the blonde goddess, Caroline.

He couldn't help it. It was just who he was. A Mikaelson. He hoped he could start a new life, build a new future, with Caroline.

After a few hours on the flight, Caroline had finally woken up. She had needed the few hours of sleep and could finally think her actions through clearly.

She had left home - her girls, the Salvatores,Elena - to travel the world with the hybrid she spent so many years fighting. They'd all call her crazy.

But when she looked at Klaus, his eyes lazily looking back at her, she frankly didn't care what they thought of her. Caroline always fought for other people's happiness - it was time for her to fight for her own. And if that happiness was loving Klaus Mikaelson - she wouldn't let a thing ruin it.

"Klaus," Caroline giggled, observing Klaus's tired state. "Did you get any sleep?"

He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up a bit. "Not really. How much longer do we have on the flight?"

"Enough for you to get a nap in."

"But who will keep you entertained?'

Caroline rolled her eyes, "I think I'll be fine. Goodnight, Klaus."

Klaus fell asleep fairly quickly, leaving Caroline alone. There weren't any good films available, so she skyped Stefan, who was apparently awaiting her call seeing as he picked up so quickly.

"Hi Stefan." Caroline smiled the moment she saw Stefan appear on her screen. For a while, Stefan and her had dated. It didn't work out though - as Stefan turned human and their relationship fell apart. They were still close friends though, and Caroline often confided in Stefan.

"Hey Caroline. How's it going with him?"

Caroline rolled her eyes at Stefan's use of words. "It's great, thank you very much. He's sleeping right now." Caroline titled her laptop so Stefan could see Klaus' sleeping figure, at which Caroline giggled at.

"Well, good. But remember, if he gives you any trouble, I'll-"

"Stefan, you're human."
"Damon will come down there and kick his butt."

"How are my girls?" Caroline said, some guilt coming upon her for leaving them.

"They're fine. For some reason they love Damon. I'll never understand. They're upstairs sleeping in a fort with Damon."

"Damon built a fort with them?" Caroline rose her eyebrows in amusement. "I'm sorry I missed that."

"Yeah well, he had a lot of free time. Elena went to visit Bonnie."

"Is Elena still mad at me?"

"Well, she's not mad, she's just concerned. She doesn't have a good experience with the Mikaelsons, especially Klaus."

Sighing, Caroline ranted. "I just wish she could see the nice side of him, you know? Just like with Damon, there's more to him than the bad. And he's so sweet, and charming and I can't help myself when I'm around him. He makes me so happy."

It was around this point when Klaus himself woke up. He didn't alert Caroline though, as he was curious to what else she had to say about him.

Stefan was silent for a few moments. "You know, I'm glad he makes you happy. We all are. We just don't want you to be heartbroken, that's all."

"Right." Suddenly Caroline felt very tired. "Well,I gotta go. The plane should be landing soon. I'll call you soon."

"Bye Caroline. Stay Safe."

"Bye."

A few moments after Caroline had put her laptop away, Klaus decided to 'wake up.'

"Goodmorning, Sunshine."

Caroline quickly turned her head, blushing. It wasn't that he had called her sunshine (even though the nickname itself was unusual- but Klaus had called Caroline 'love' so much it became less awkward and more romantic and common) but his voice was groggy and deep and his accent. Caroline had severely unappreciated his voice in the past.

"Goodmorning to you, Klaus. We're almost there. Wake up."

Klaus started to get ready, fixing hair in the mirror he had borrowed from the little girl in front of him. Caroline didn't know what was cuter- the fact that Klaus was so insistent upon fixing his hair, or that he was fixing his hair in the reflection of a Cinderella mirror.

But soon enough the two of them were landing in the first stop of their world tour- Rome. Caroline loved it. Even though at this point they were just in a crowded airport, she still loved it. It gave off a better vibe than Mystic Falls ever did. She could just feel the history in the air. She also had her own tour guide who knew the area better than anyone else in the world. It was amazing.

Klaus, however, was less excited about Rome and more excited about the look on the anxious blonde girl's face. She looked so happy, so alive and it was the best thing that he was one of the reasons she felt that way.

"So since it's only 8, how about I take you to my favorite restaurant before we go to the hotel? Show you a little bit of my favorites before we turn into tourists."

Caroline smiled, a soft tone to her voice. "I'd love too."

As they left the restaurant, Caroline was glad that she had agreed to let Klaus take her. That place was amazing - it had great food, great people, and gave off the vibe of home. She had never wanted to leave, but Klaus had reminded her of their plans for the next day, so she grudgingly agreed to leave. It wasn't that big of a deal though, she had a lifetime to come back and spend there. With Klaus.

But when they arrived at the hotel, all that adrenaline vanished. She was exhausted. She just wanted to lay in bed and sleep forever.

"You ready for bed, love?' Klaus said in a teasing tone after the fifth time Caroline had yawned since they arrived. They were just now arriving to their hotel room.

"I'm as ready as I've ever been." The moment Klaus opened their door, Caroline had flung herself on the bed. But there was only a bed, singular.

"Klaus, there's a bed. One bed."

Klaus quirked an eyebrow at Caroline."Yes, I know. I figured that would be okay with you. If it's not I can go down and compel-"

"No, no it's fine. Go change and lay down so I can use you as my teddy bear. I'm tired."

Quickly enough, Klaus changed and laid down with Caroline. There was a couple of awkward pauses before Caroline decided to say something. She realized she never said it to him, even though she always wanted to.

"Klaus?"

'Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, Caroline. I love you more than I ever thought I could. Now go to sleep, I'm waking you up early tomorrow."

Caroline snuggled up to Klaus, and all was well. For now, at least. But that's all the two of them needed.
