Part II of III
(Feel free to send me prompts on Tumblr or PM me them here.)
Caroline stood at the edge of the woods, trying to focus on anything around her as she tried not to listen to the grunts of pain coming from behind her. Or imagine what he looked like behind her… No, Caroline, bad! Do notthink about Klaus shifting back and his lack of clothes and seeing his naked chest again, and other parts- no! She squeezed her eyes shut as she continued to mentally berate herself, not noticing the sudden silence around her.
The rustling of branches caused her to turn, immediately throwing a hand over her eyes at the sight before her. "Klaus! Seriously?!"
The hybrid chuckled, continuing to unabashedly walk over to a nearby shed. Naked.
"Something the matter, sweetheart?" he asked with a grin as he bent down to retrieve a duffle bag by the side of the shed.
Caroline peeked out between her fingers, immediately turning red as she caught a glimpse of his ass, his nice, toned- "Ugh, don't play dumb, it doesn't suit you," she mocked, immediately turning her head away as she caught a glimpse of him turning towards her. "Do you always have to be such a pain in the ass?" she asked before mentally slapping herself as her choice of words brought his aforementioned body part back to her mind, thankful it was too dark for him to see her blush deepen.
Klaus chuckled again as he half turned to her, looking the embarrassed blonde up and down. "Nothing you haven't seen before, love," he said cheekily, earning himself an exasperated huff. "And here I thought you enjoyed our little banter," he drawled, sifting through the bag.
The young vampire snorted. "Yeah, like a stake through the heart," she muttered, glad she couldn't see the smirk that was surely on his face. "Or like being surprised in the woods by a werewolf!" she said, dropping her hand in annoyance without thinking.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, Klaus was buttoning a pair of jeans when she looked at him. Wait, jeans?
"Where the hell did you find pants?" she asked incredulously, taking note of the bag at his feet for the first time. "Wait, did you plan this whole thing? Oh my god Klaus, really?" Caroline rolled her eyes at the hybrid, crossing her arms over her chest irritatedly.
The hybrid merely continued to grin at her as he fished out a shirt. "Come now, love, you know I'm always prepared," he said as he pulled on his shirt.
Caroline threw her hands up in the air as he pulled out a pair of socks and boots as well as a light jacket. "Unbelievable," she muttered to herself, though his laugh indicated he had also heard her.
Once he was fully clothed, Klaus turned to the blonde, clasping his hands behind his back and lowering his head slightly, as if to look apologetic without actually having to apologize.
Caroline sighed heavily. This was looking like it was going to be a long night. And she would get to look forward to Elena's reprimanding later, especially after she heard about Klaus. Or maybe she didn't need to… "Why are you here, Klaus? You promised you would tell me," she said as she fixed a glare on him.
Klaus furrowed his brows as he looked at her. "I don't recall making such a promise," he said slowly, eyeing her curiously. "Besides, I was a wolf, I couldn't answer you one way or the other," he added.
"No response means you didn't say no, so you basically agreed to it," she told him matter-of-factly, a smirk of her own creeping across her face.
He shook his head as he grinned at her, she never ceased to amaze him, this girl. "If you say so, love."
"Well, I do. Now spill."
Klaus flung the duffle over his shoulder before he advanced on her, pleased when she made no move, save an eyebrow raise. "Perhaps we could talk over a drink?" he suggested, offering his hand to her. He would never admit how apprehensive he was about her answer.
Caroline pursed her lips in thought. This was almost certainly a terrible idea. Then again, Klaus wouldn't hurt her, she was sure of that much. And she did want to know what the heck he was doing at her school, traipsing through the woods in his wolf form. Plus maybe some alcohol would help her get through her inevitable chat with Elena later.
"What the hell," she breathed, taking his hand, surprising herself almost as much as him. "I have a feeling I'm going to need a drink after hearing whatever it is you have to tell me"
Klaus grinned, not hesitating to pull the blonde in the direction of the nearest bar, not wanting to give her a chance to come to her senses. He took full note of her smile, though she tried to hide it by bowing her head as they walked, and he squeezed her hand slightly, immeasurably pleased when she looked up at him, smile still on her lips.
