"Any Other Way"

The sun rose with a majestic sort of beauty as the dawn came. Yesterday's harsh weather long forgotten in the bliss of the morning. Caroline sighed in comfort as her head rested on Klaus' chest, while they watched the sunrise of a new day, a new life. The light made its way over the hills, covering them in a warm and encouraging blanket. They sat in silence on the cliff they had found the night before, overlooking Virginia, in all its secretive glory. Klaus' hand rubbing circles lightly on Caroline's, which lay across his arm, wrapped around her waist. Caroline snuggled deeper into his chest as he softly kissed the top of her head.

"Nik…" Caroline smiled. She could feel his grin as she mumbled sleepily.

"Yes, love?" He questioned, feeling at home for the first time in his existence.

"Do you know how much you mean to me?" She asked quietly. He nodded.

"Less than how much you mean to me." Caroline shook her head furiously, looking back at him. Klaus raised an eyebrow.

"No?" He wondered.

"No." Caroline agreed stubbornly. "More. I love you more Nik." Now it was his turn to shake his head as he chuckled, feeling like a young man in love…if of course you count one-thousand years old young. He did.

"Caroline you brought me to life, everything I believed in before I met you means nothing now. I have existed for a very long time, but I have never lived. But now, with you? I feel like I can finally breathe, I can finally live, as a whole. I love you Caroline Forbes, with every fiber of my being." Klaus spoke in a soft tone, a playful smile on his lips. But you could see the truth of his words in his eyes, which stared into Caroline's. If her heart could beat it would surely be racing now. She consciously wiped her cheek as she felt something wet slide down it. Blinking back the remaining salt water drops she turned completely in his arms. Her hands fumbled with the collar of his shirt as she thought about what to say. She took her time, not wanting to screw it up.

"Nik, when I first met you…you scared the hell out of me, I didn't show it but you did, and if I'm being honest I wanted to rip you to shreds." She grinned. Klaus chuckled smirking lightly.

"But then you spoke about the world and the genuine beauty you could find in it. That's when I saw a glimpse of the man you were as a human. A passionate, kind man, who didn't deserve the pain he dealt with. I saw you. Then over the past year that man resurfaced every time we were together and I knew that he was someone I could fall in love with. I think that's why I resisted so much…but Nik…" Caroline spoke seriously.

"You have become my life, over the year my feeling for you have grown, even if I didn't want to admit it, they did. This is the most real thing I have ever felt. Before I was nothing but a baby vampire, a Barbie doll for people to play with, but when I'm with you…I feel like I'm getting everything I ever wanted. Even when I couldn't see it, you knew I was suffocating myself. I was living a lie. You saved me from myself Niklaus, and my love for you grows with every breath I take." Caroline finished her declaration, and she knew that if she could blush, she would look like she had a bad case of sunburn. That was the mushiest thing that has ever spilt out of her mouth. Before she could worry about how bad she thought it sounded, Klaus pulled her lips to his, kissing her so sweetly it made her toes curl. Every cell in her body tingled as she craved his touch.

"Caroline…" Klaus whispered against her lips. She marveled at the fact that he sounded so breathless. Smiling she pulled him closer. Her lips moved against his as they let each other fill the holes that had, for so long, been missing. Breaking apart to gasp for air they grinned sheepishly at each other, realizing they would never get enough of the passion that so freely coursed in their veins. Caroline stood up as the sun grew brighter, Klaus following behind.

"I guess we should be heading back." She groaned. Klaus grinned at the reluctance in her voice. He intertwined his hand with hers as he moved a strand of hair out of her face with the other.

"We have plenty of time to see the world Caroline, our sunrises will never end." He promised. She smiled hopefully, leaning up to quickly kiss him again. A soon as she pulled away she began chuckling quite wickedly if you as Klaus.

"What's so funny, love?" He smiled.

"Nothing yet, but the look on my friends face when I walk into town holding the hand of one Niklaus Mikaelson, will be hilarious." He pouted playfully, making her laugh harder.

"Oh come on, like you can't wait to see Tyler's face?" She grinned, happy that his name no longer held any pain for her. Klaus slipped her a lopsided smirk as he silently agreed.

"But you know what?" Caroline whispered as she stood on her tiptoes, her lips brushing his.

"What?" Klaus asked, his free hand sliding to her waist. Caroline smiled at the want in his voice. Turning her head to whisper in his ear, her body flush against his.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." She breathed, letting herself fall back on the soles of her feet. Grinning playfully she tugged his hand in the direction of the car. Klaus' eyes widened momentarily as she toyed with him. He recovered quickly his adorably wicked smirk returning as he bundled her in his arms, bridal style.

"Me either." He said as he flashed them to the vehicle that would lead them to the next chapter in their life, Caroline laughing all the way.
