"She's breathtaking," Klaus whispered into the silence of the library his brother Kol looked up from
his phone to see who he meant before giving the blonde a once over.
"I suppose," Kol said with a tilt of his head, "Well I'm off," he said standing from his chair.
"We haven't gone over the last three parts of your exam," Klaus protested as he secretly wished him away.
"That's your problem," Kol said squeezing his shoulder, "You're the TA."
Klaus grumbled shutting his books as he went he turned his head back to his bag movement caught his attention out of the corner of his eye, it was her.
She had stood up from her chair and was currently trying to reach a book far out of her reach. Klaus stood though not knowing why and marched over to her he plucked her intended book from the row and slowly handed it to her.
Their eyes met just as their skin connected, a spark ignited with him a sizzle as her fingers danced across his hand when she took the book.
"Thanks," she mumbled out as she leveled herself on the floor leaning her back on the shelf Klaus' arm leaned him above her their tight space lingering.
"Not a problem," he whispered against her cheek before he stepped back she looked just as mesmerized as he did as he walked back to his table looking back at her every so often.
He sat there for an hour longer sketching her he grew frustrated at not quite getting the lines or the shading right.
He felt her eyes on him instinctively he lifted his head to see he was rewarded with a tinted blush spreading across her features. He smiled as he got back to work finishing what he thought was a rather rough but mirror image of her.
He waited then until she left her table again.
Ten minutes later he was rewarded rushing to where she had left her belongings he placed it as a bookmark where she had left off before he sat himself back down pretending to be absorbed by the book he was looking at upside down.
Taking a chance he turned his head in just the slightest as he heard her open her book once more, he smirked when he heard her breath hitch.
He smiled when he focused solely on how her eyes absorbed the paper he was so lost in her reaction he hardily remembered to look away, her eyes met his locked and connected.
Instantly he realized she knew it was him, his mouth parted as she gaped at him "My name is Caroline," she said in a quiet voice getting shushed by the others nearby, "What's yours?" she asked uncaring.
They shushed her again and his face grew hard staring down each one who dared disturb their moment.
She laughed softly placing a hand over her mouth.
Klaus grabbed his bag and moved to her table sitting across from her, "I'm Klaus," he introduced himself extending his hand he swore the world restarted when hers took his and shook it.
"Thank you, Klaus,"she said as her fingers traced the edge of the paper with her resemblance on it.
Klaus felt his ears grow warm, "Not a problem, Caroline."
