Chapter 4

A/N: This is an AU story of the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire diaries.

Hi guys sorry for the wait. It's been hectic in college right now, I am applying to other colleges and keeping up with my grades plus other activities. But here is another drabble. I will be posting two this weekend for sure. I have had time to brainstorm both. So here is a Klaroline drabble, Klaus and Caroline try to give Henry advice on asking out a girl.

First Kiss

Rated: T-M

Klaus was sitting in his art studio mindlessly sketching one of his muses; Caroline as always. Not that she seemed to notice that he was sketching her. She was sitting at the desk, typing away on her laptop of her latest story for the paper. Lucky for them, the kids were still at school which gave them some time to themselves.

Feeling his gaze on her, she glanced over at him. He simply smirked as he turned his eyes away to examine his sketch. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She would still question sometimes as to why he would continually draw her.

She wasn't young and beautiful anymore. But she wasn't that old either. It amazed her sometimes how he would still compliment her and tell her how beautiful she was to him. He always would say that she was full of light and that is one of the reasons that he was drawn to her.

Just then they heard the sound of the front door opening and closing signaling that Henry was home from school. Since Henry was in junior high, he got home much earlier than his siblings; Lorcan and Lizzie.

"Mom? Dad?" Henry called.

"In the study!" Caroline shouted from the room. It wasn't just an art studio, but also a study so it was kind of both. A minute later, Henry entered the room, his backpack still slung over his shoulder. "Hey sweetie, how was school?" Caroline asked looking up from her laptop.

Henry simply shrugged, and tossed his backpack on the ground. He moved to sit down in the armchair in the corner facing his parents.

"It was fine."

"Thought you had practice after school?" Klaus questioned.

"It was cancelled due to the rain." He answered. Henry paused for a moment then spoke again. "Hey dad how did you tell mom that you liked her?" Klaus raised an eyebrow then placed his sketchpad down along with his pencil. Caroline rolled her eyes.

"One thing that you should already probably know about your father. He has a huge ego, and is sometimes too overconfident. He was straight out honest with me." Klaus snorted.

"Oh yes, I remember I just confessed to her one night that I fancied her. Told her she was beautiful, strong, full of light and that I enjoyed her. However I will admit her response was not what I expected." Henry arched a brow confused then shifted his gaze to his mother.

"Oh please! You were practically known to always be such a flirt and a player with all the girls. What was I supposed to think? That you honestly genuinely thought of me that way and it wasn't just a line to get into my pants- Caroline stopped herself just in time and turned to Henry. "Sorry honey." Henry just nodded awkwardly.

"Were you actually honestly interested in mom that night dad?" Klaus glanced to Caroline.

"Actually I was, I had spent the few weeks after we met just thinking about her. So when I confessed how I felt to her, I was quite shocked by her rejection." Caroline once again rolled her eyes.

"Apparently no woman has ever rejected him before." Caroline noted.

"Oh but that didn't stop me from still trying to woo her."

"Stalk." She corrected.

"Caroline love, we went to the same university, had most of the same classes and were friends with the same people. I wouldn't call every time we saw each other as 'Stalking.'" Klaus reminded her. "Anyway, it took almost a year for your mother to believe me that my feelings for her were real. Although at the time she was also seeing another man." Henry looked between the two.

"Wait you were dating some other guy while you were friends with dad?" Caroline sighed.

"He was my high school boyfriend, I kind of was in denial because I knew that it wasn't going to last. High school relationships never do once you graduate. I probably should have broken up with him after he had already left town. Things just weren't the same, I think we were trying to hold onto what was left of the relationship." Henry couldn't help but notice how Klaus's jaw clenched at the talk of Caroline's ex.

Clearly he wasn't comfortable with the subject. Caroline always knew how Klaus was. He was a very possessive man, and he didn't like to think about the other men or boys that had, had her before him.

But as if Caroline could even think about the others. They had all been boys and Klaus had become her man. The only reason she didn't mind his possessiveness was because she was just as possessive of him. She hated the idea of any woman being close to him, or even touching him. It drove her mad with anger and jealousy.

Surprisingly even presently they were both still in love and possessive of one another. Like just the other day, at Klaus's art gallery at the French Quarter. Caroline had come to support him but when she arrived she found another woman practically throwing herself at her husband.

Jealousy had rushed through her all at once and she was instantly by his side. Grabbing him forcefully and pressing her lips to his. While also introducing herself as his wife. The other woman had seemed to take the hint and backed down.

But it was not like that she needed to worry, Klaus had been dazed just by one kiss. And as always told her, that she was the only woman that he could ever want. That she was perfect and no woman could compare.

But don't mistake that they were the perfect couple, they still had their fights like any couple and had many ups and downs. But at the end of the day they love each other enough to want to work things out. And they have been together for the fifteen years now or seventeen if you can't the extra two years of dating.

"So then how did you and mom finally get together?" Klaus and Caroline glanced at one another as they both recalled how they got together in the first place.

Flashback:

Tulane University, 2014

Caroline age: 20 (Just turned)

Klaus's age: 23

Caroline was sitting on the window seat of Klaus's apartment watching light snow fall. It wasn't anything major, but it was still cold and there was a good three or four inches of snow on the ground.

She and Klaus had been eating pizza and drinking beer all the while watching cheesy Christmas movies. Klaus had fallen asleep on the couch during the movie, and the credits were now rolling.

Caroline glanced at the clock, it was a quarter to two in the morning. She was glad that she didn't have class in the morning. It looked as if she would be spending the night here as usual. Almost always Klaus and Caroline would hang out on a Friday or a Saturday along with Stefan and sometimes Bonnie and Kol would join them.

But tonight they were busy, Stefan was attending a party with Marcel along with Kol. And Bonnie studying for a big exam that she had on Monday. Caroline and Klaus had been invited. But Caroline didn't want to go, because she wasn't exactly friends with Marcel.

Klaus had offered to stay with her, and even offered to buy the pizza if she brought the beer.

Caroline turned back to Klaus who was sound asleep still sprawled out on his side of the couch. An idea popped into her head. Pushing herself up, she maneuvered herself over to him. Lately things had become more intense between them. So she had been trying to keep her space from him.

It was actually a few days ago that she had realized that she had feelings for Klaus. After a month since she broke up with Tyler over both the cheating and that they no longer felt the same way, Klaus had been there to comfort her through it all not just Stefan.

Caroline found herself day by day developing strong feelings towards Klaus. She had been jealous when his ex, Genevieve kept trying to hit on him and sleep with him again. The red head, had been trying to hook up with him yet again, but he had rejected her instead. She had been happy but had come to realize that she really hated the idea of Klaus with another woman. She had planned on telling him sometime soon but her fears caught up to her.

She was actually afraid that perhaps he didn't feel the same way anymore. She wasn't sure if she could face rejection. So she had just simply decided against confessing her feelings also fearing that she would lose her friendship with him and she wasn't sure if she could take that.

She leaned down on the side of the couch from Klaus who was still sleeping peacefully. Just when she slightly brushed her fingertips against his arm, his eyes flashed open and suddenly she found herself on her back gasping for her. Klaus had rolled them over, pushed her into the floor with his hand gripping her throat.

"K-Klaus…" She choked. Klaus's eyes widened as he realized that he had just tried to strangle Caroline half to death. Immediately he loosened his grip and let go. He moved off her so that she could breathe.

"I'm sorry Caroline." She rubbed her throat. She should have remembered that he was a light sleeper. And she knew why, she had witnessed first-hand that Klaus had suffered a dark childhood.

She still remembers knocking on his apartment door. They had been supposed to meet for lunch. He didn't answer the door, so she just let herself in. Knowing where the key was, she opened the door and found Klaus and another man arguing.

The man was degrading Klaus by calling him 'pathetic', 'useless', 'worthless boy' and 'nothing'. It wasn't long before the man punched Klaus in the jaw, so hard that she thought she had heard a crack. He had then knocked Klaus to the ground, and tried use the opportunity to kick him.

The sight of Klaus being in pain, sent her on overdrive and rushed to help him. The man clearly had been shocked by her presence not expecting her to be there.

She had moved to defend him, to not to let this man hurt Klaus again. But he only laughed at her, and it made her angry. She remembered slapping him across the face, which obviously wasn't a good idea because his response was to punch her in the face in return. She recalled how the force had knocked her back and left her dizzy but still fueled her anger.

When he had been about to hit her again though, that was when Klaus had stepped in. He had saved her from him. It was only later when the man finally left after Klaus had showed his strength to him, the man was revealed to be was his father Mikael.

Caroline had stayed with him that night, comforting him and taking care of him.

Now Caroline always was careful of what she said to Klaus or things like this. She knew what it was like to be called 'useless' too. But Klaus had never once made her feel like that. And she had grown out of that insecure teenager phase from back in high school.

She pushed herself up to look at him, he was unwilling to meet her gaze fearing that she would be either scared or mad at him. But she was neither, and instead touched his cheek making him turn to her while leaning into her palm.

"Are you alright?" He asked. She nodded. "Are you sure?" She rolled her eyes and only nodded once again. "Well love tell me what's on your mind since you woke me up." She grinned.

"I had an idea!" She said cheerfully. He waited and listened to what she had to say. "Let's go sledding!" Klaus stared at her for a moment.

"Alright we can go first thing tomorrow-

"No, we should go now." Klaus looked at her like she was crazy.

"Sweetheart, it's almost three in the morning."

"So?" She put her best puppy dog face on that she could muster up. "Please?" Klaus groaned. He could never deny this woman anything. A knowing grin spread across her face, she knew she had won. She jumped up excitedly, a wide smile spread across her face that Klaus loved so much.

Klaus was lucky that his sister visited from time to time, so he had some extra clothes for Caroline to borrow. His sister and Caroline were about the same size, so it was pretty useful.

Caroline zipped up her jacket and placing a hat on her head. Turning to Klaus just in time to see him pull on his boots. He stood and opened the storage closet to the right of the front door where the sled lie.

There was only one so they would have to share. Not that Klaus minded what's so ever. It was another way to be close to her.

Caroline grinned excitedly when she noticed the sled. Klaus pulled a scarf out and wrapped it around her neck for her.

"Thanks,"

A little while later, they found a good hill outside not too far from Klaus's apartment.

Caroline settled with sitting in front and Klaus sat right behind her. The sled began to move sliding down the hill with them and gaining speed. Caroline laughed as they raced down the hill together. Klaus simply smiled as he heard the pearls of her laughter echoing in the snowy night.

The sled started to jerk and suddenly they were moving in the direction of a tree. Klaus forced them to lean to the right, but instead the weight caused them to fall over into the snow.

Caroline giggled as she pushed herself to sit up. When she saw Klaus she couldn't stop herself from bursting into laughter. He was covered with snow from the sled hitting the tree that he was under. All the snow had fallen on top him.

Klaus rolled his eyes as he stood brushing off the snow then moving to pick up the sled. When suddenly he felt something hit his back lightly. He turned around toward her with accusing eyes. Caroline pretended to not have noticed.

"What?" She asked innocently. But he knew that she was anything but innocent. He made a move to pick up the sled again, when another lightly pitched ball of snow hit his back.

"So that's how you want to play sweetheart." He said picking up some snow and forming it into a ball. He turned to throw it at her when another snowball knocked him in the face. Caroline chuckled until she noticed the glint in his azure blue eyes. He was now looking at her as if she were prey.

"Klaus," She said with caution not sure what he was thinking. He moved to her step by step, while she backed away from him with every step he took toward her. It wasn't long until she found herself backed into a tree.

Before she had chance to protest, Klaus was on her in a second tickling her sides. She screamed and laughed uncontrollably as he began to tickle her to death.

She fell back onto the snow, he followed still tickling her.

"Klaus! S-stop! P-please ha-ha!" She couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm sorry love I can't understand you." He mused.

"K-Klaus I can't…breathe!" He stops, pulling his hands away from her. She takes this time to gasp for a breath as he looks down at her.

"Do you surrender?" He asks cockily. She glares at him playfully.

"Never." He smirked knowing just how stubborn she was. He moved to start tickling her again. "Okay, okay! I surrender. You win!" Klaus chuckled amused by her.

Caroline looked at him for a moment gazing at how happy he seemed, how relaxed he was around her. She was suddenly caught in a trance by his eyes. They would not let her look away. She didn't know what it was that possessed her to. But maybe it was how perfect it was in that moment. She slowly ever so slowly brushed her lips against his.

Klaus froze as he felt her lips brush against his own. He had thought he would have had to wait another year for her to come around to the idea of being with him. He had really meant it when he said that he would wait for her to be ready. Having her lips pressed against his own was heaven.

Caroline started to worry when he didn't respond and tried to pull back but was stopped when he cupped her cheek and pulled her closer taking control of the kiss. It started out sweet and meaningful, as Caroline tried to show everything she felt for him. After a few moments they broke the kiss, both needing air, pressing their foreheads together.

"That was amazing," Caroline said breathless. Klaus smirked.

"Indeed it was." Klaus frowned. "What does this mean Caroline?" He still wasn't sure if she had gotten over Tyler yet. And he didn't want this to be a one-time thing. He longed for her unconditionally. She bit her lip.

"Look Klaus after these past few months, I really thought over my breakup with Tyler. It may have taken a while for me, I was in denial believing for some-time that he was the love of my life. But I finally was willing to accept the truth, Tyler and I weren't meant to last. I knew it the first time that I met you, but I was too scared to accept it. Tyler and I had already ended a long time ago and I had begun falling for you even though I didn't want to. I wanted to hold onto what Tyler and I had left because I was scared." Klaus listened to every word that she said.

"What are you afraid of?"

"You. I'm afraid of you." She confessed. Klaus stared at her for a moment confused.

"Caroline you know that I would never hurt you love." She shook her head.

"No I'm not afraid of you…I'm afraid my feelings for you and what you say to me. Klaus, all the things you say to me scared me because I knew I would fall for you eventually. Especially when you're promising things like being 'my last love'. I was afraid that if I gave in I would be hurt again. But I have come to realize that my feelings for you are too strong and I knew that I would regret not giving you a chance, us a chance." She paused. "Even if we don't last long, I know that I will be happy to have gotten the chance to see if we can work. If you really are my 'last love' or the love of my life. I want to be with you Klaus." Klaus stared at her for a moment taking in everything that she said. She had feelings for him, she wanted to be with him. She was finally giving him a chance. "Klaus…" She was starting to become worried again when he didn't answer. Did he not feel the same way anymore? He pressed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss that left her dazed.

"You were right that day Caroline." She raised an eyebrow. Then recalled that very day that she had been so drunk that she told him that she knew he was in love with her.

Klaus had been mad at her for refusing to tell him why she hated Damon so much and couldn't afford to be in the same room as him. She had called him up drunk at a bar that same night. Even though he was mad at her, he still came to take care of her and bring her home.

She told him while she was starting to become completely out of it, that she knew why he couldn't turn her away. "I am in love with you." He confessed.

Present Day

"So you kissed dad?" Caroline nodded.

"Yes I kissed your father first. It took me a long time to realize and accept my feelings for him. I couldn't accept or believe that he genuinely had deep feelings for me because I was little insecure back then. But I was able to accept them only when I realized that I couldn't keep living in the past." Caroline explained.

"Okay…wow…dad must have really loved you. I mean he waited a year for you, I was surprise you hadn't given up." Klaus shrugged.

"With your mother I just always felt drawn to her, and getting to know her just made me realize that she was right for me." Klaus admitted.

"Why are you so curious about how your father and I got together anyway?" Caroline wondered curiously. Henry sighed, a smile spread across Klaus's face.

"Who is she?" Caroline glanced back and forth between Klaus and their son who was now blushing.

"Allison Moore, she's in my math class." Caroline grinned.

"Oh! Your first crush!"

"Mom!"

"What?" Henry was sure that his face was the color of a bright tomato.

"Anyway, so dad do you have any advice you can give me on how to ask her to the dance?" Klaus glanced to Caroline as memories of both his dates with Caroline and passed women flashed through his mind.

"Be creative." Klaus advised. Henry nodded.

"I think I'll go see Alek, maybe he can help me brainstorm." And with that he raced out of the house, and headed over to Alek Salvatore's house which wasn't that far down the road from his.

Klaus turned back to Caroline. "You know you technically didn't finish that story love." He said a smug smile spreading across his face. Caroline gave him a look.

Continued Flashback:

The front door to the apartment opened and slammed shut in an instant. Two forms were locked in an embrace moving against one another. Caroline felt the wall against her back, Klaus pushing against her. Their lips locked, their tongues mingling with one another's. Caroline fingers had found their way into his hair tightening on the locks tugging his face to hers.

Klaus had his hands on her hips yanking her to him, trying to be as close to her as he could. Caroline pushed her hips against his feeling how hard he was. Klaus groaned and jerked his hips forward against her own.

Caroline gasped causing her to break the kiss to suck in some air. Klaus's lips found her neck, sucking and trailing kisses down it. Causing her to moan into his ear, he smirked hearing the sounds that he was eliciting from her.

Needing to feel his skin, Caroline started tugging at his shirt. Taking her hint, he pulled it up over his head and tossed it aside. She sighed in relief and began running her fingers across his chest, then trailing down his back causing him to shiver slightly. She had remember seeing him the other day.

She had found him in nothing but a towel. It taken a lot to not touch him. Caroline didn't get time to think because in the next second, her shirt was removed and thrown to the side. Leaving her nothing but a lacy red bra, grabbing his face again she brought her lips back to his in another passionate kiss.

Klaus reached down and lifted Caroline so that she could wrap her legs around his waist. Klaus brought her over near the fire place and laid her down on the rug. Caroline grasped neck and tugged him down with her. She brought his mouth back to hers as his hands made way to her back and unclipped her bra. He slowly tugged it down her arms till she was revealed to him.

Planting a quick kiss on her lips, he began to slowly trail kisses down her throat. Caroline gasped as he took one of her breasts in his mouth sucking on it while he tweaked the other. Caroline couldn't help but moan, as her fingers knotted in his hair holding him to her. Then he switched and did the same with the other one.

Unable to wait any longer, Caroline grasped Klaus by his shoulders and hauled him back up to her pressing her lips to his. In a sudden swift motion, she pushed Klaus onto his back and then getting on top of him-

Present:

"I am not going to tell our son, that on the same day we had our first kiss we also had sex." Caroline scoffed as she turned to close her laptop. She felt arms start to wrap around her.

"You know love, the children won't be homes for another hour." He moved to place kisses on her collarbone. Her breath hitched slightly.

"Klaus I have to finish this article for the paper." But that didn't stop him from pushing her shirt slightly to the side, to kiss more of her bare shoulder. She moaned slightly.

"You sure love?" Caroline huffed in frustration.

"Fine, five minutes- She didn't get to finish that sentence when Klaus pressed his lips to hers. Only an hour later, Klaus and Caroline had to find out how to explain to Lorcan why the door to the study was locked.

Notes: So sorry about the long wait, college has been hectic especially when you are trying to apply to other colleges that you are transferring to. So this is a chapter about Klaus and Caroline's first kiss, next chapter the Mikaelson family will be celebrating Christmas. Reviews thanks!
