He couldn't figure out what had happened, one second her was bent on kissing her and the next he had revealed his true intentions last night.

His palm set against the wall as his head bent down in thought he could still smell her scent, once again he was reduced to that boy behind the bleachers.

Watching her with the excuse that Bekah was there, sketching her without meaning to falling asleep to only have her visit him in his most vulnerable state.

Close to seven years and he still ached for her after he had realized this last night he had made a decision that was a long time coming.

One that would please his family and hopefully give him a fighting chance with Caroline with his mind set he went back into the dance hall.

He waited until the song ended as he made his way to the podium dividing the groomsmen and the bridesmaids.

She looked up with a curious face as he grabbed for a drink preparing to speak, "My brother has come a long way over the years, he's not perfect but with the help of Ms. Bennett he's pretty close," he said.

The crowd laughed and applauded as the couple held each other by the dance floor, "The point I'm making here is that this pair," he gestured to Bonnie and Kol, "The feelings they have will never die."

He looked briefly over at Caroline who bowed her head, "Over the years I've heard stories about your adventures and I'm sorry that I've missed them," he said genuinely.

"You could come to visit more often," he heard his sister say leading him to his next line, he smiled looking over to her, "If you must know I'm moving back to be closer to you all. It's been decided."

"Can I finish," he asked his sister though he looked at Caroline with a boyish grin that hit Caroline in the chest she looked over at her friend who nodded.

"I do believe Kol has been chasing down Bonnie since the playground," he said as the projector started up behind them displaying a photo of the two by a slide.

Caroline turned watching the frame surprised by how much effort he had put into his speech she looked up again when she was sure he wasn't looking.

He was truly impossible but the thing was, she got what she wanted last night too, she wanted him and she always had.

His voice cut threw her thoughts, "And I know for a fact he only joined the football team to be near her," the photo switched to one on homecoming the year the pair graduated.

Kol wearing a cheer uniform and Bonnie wearing a jersey that said Mikaelson on the back, "In fact I do believe Kol came to me begging me to sketch her so he could have an image of her."

Kol pointed at him before he retaliated, "It's not like you didn't have a million of Caroline," Kol shouted at him making her laugh as he looked at her his cheeks and hers red.

Their moment did not go unnoticed by anyone watching as his eyes almost regretfully moved back to the crowd he barely heard his sister say, "You still like my brother."

"Moving on," Klaus said clearing his throat as he tucked said photo out of his pocket and showed it to the crowd doing his best to pretend he hadn't heard Rebekah's words.

Bonnie came forward and took the photo from his hand thanking him with a nod Klaus waited til she had returned to his brother's side.

He looked over at his younger brother in awe of all that he had accomplished for himself and hoped that one day he would get all that with one person.

He dared a glance over at Caroline before he looked back, "I don't think there's anything this pair can't overcome that they haven't already."

With applause he left the image of the pair turning to one of the proposal shots as he sat down at his assigned chair.

"That was sweet," he heard her voice flit through him he kept his head on the crowd as she pulled a chair and sat next to him.

"The girls are on the other side," he said as he sipped his drink preparing himself for a tongue lashing or a threat of some sort.

"I want to talk to you," she said just as attractively as he had Klaus gave her a side glance the smile forming on his face could not be helped.

"Five minutes," he said easily dropping his glass down as he took her extended hand leading them in to a different hall through the back door.
