She was turned around when he first laid eyes on her but his heart still skipped a beat even after all these years he would know her anywhere he walked slowly towards her His chin tucked in observing everything about her.
She must have sensed it because at first she turned her head then her whole body when she saw him Klaus smirked as he gave her side glance trying not to notice how she was fixing herself.
"Good to see you," he said quietly as he waved at their close friend before sliding his hand into his hair brushing the curls around his face nonchalantly as he loojed up and passed her.
Caroline scoffed tossing her hair back to reveal her lovely neck but making Klaus begin to think it was an instinctive reply to repel whatever he said meting his eyes as she tried to regulate her breathing.
"Don't lie," she said just as quietly her stare lingering longer than necessary before with a tilt of her head her eyes were flickering from his to her friends, "You hate that you're here."
Klaus rolled his eyes pretending he was no longer looking at her, "I don't care enough about you anymore to lie," he whispered into her ear intentional his smirk growing to a smile as he felt her shiver.
Caroline rebuffed him however, "Ouch," she said in a fashion that sounded like his sister in law Katerina a flicker of emotion crossed her face before it was gone replaced by a small smile.
He felt a tinge of guilt but he had started it, "I bet you wished you would have just said something gracious instead," he said without a hint of mocking which surprised her, she conceded with a nod.
Caroline's smile grew at the opportunity, "A little bit," she flirted without meaning to, a natural habit she slipped into when he was around no matter how poorly their break up sat with them both.
Klaus saw Stefan go through the wrong escalator and with a laugh pointed at him gesturing to Caroline, she smiled and he thought of something to help them beginning once more, "Start again then?"
She smiled as she nodded once, "Yes please," she said her hand almost darting out to take his as he asked before she caught herself Klaus had a strange look in his eyes as she left him.
She moved way back to the spot where she first encountered him after she had grabbed her bags which he now held almost as if he slipped into the role of dotting boyfriend.
He took only one step back before he leapt forward filling the space between them and if possible closer than before, "Good to see you Love," he said with a smile that could destroy cities.
"I missed you," the words falling from her lips before she could think coherently she could tell they stunned him as much as they did her she gulped licking her dry lips as she watched him react.
A breath later he bowed his head to her as he sighed, "Same." Caroline unknowingly smiled at him feeling seeded to emerge for the both of them, some buried, some forgotten and some new.
"Look at you two in the same room and nothings imploded yet," Stefan said jokingly interrupting the scene that had played out having missed the twosomes moment in the sun before his arrival.
He also failed to notice the heated flush of Klaus' collar and the tinted pink over Caroline's face as she brushed her hair behind her ear before she hugged him that or he didn't feel the need to comment.
"Shut up Stefan," she replied with a grin that melted as she squeezed him her eyes connecting with Klaus' for a single moment before Stefan put her back on the ground.
"What she said," Klaus added as Stefan hugged him as well, Klaus didn't take his eyes off of her for a second that Caroline would know by the hairs standing on her neck if she hadn't been looking at him directly in the eye as well.
Stefan looked floored he took a suspicious step back looking them both over his eyes almost squinting by the time he spoke, "And on the same team," he asked teasing heavily as he helped Klaus with Caroline's bags.
"It's your wedding," Klaus said with a raised brow considering he was here to watch his best friend get married to his baby sister something that sat well with him in all honesty, no one had ever been good for her until she started seeing Stefan.
He shifted closer to the blonde loving the flutters he still got in his stomach just by their proximity, "We're a united front," he said with a tilt of his head to the blonde beside them.
"Agreed," Caroline said as she nudged Stefan for groaning as he lifted one of her lightest bags, "Whatever's happened between us," she said with a brief look at Klaus, "Shouldn't matter at your wedding."
Stefan considered them for a moment, in the back of his mind he knew getting them back together would be hard but crazy things happened at weddings and this was going to be one of them.
He smiled at the seemingly matured pair as he set the bags comfortably on his back, "Okay then, lets go get me married." he said finally leaving the two to follow after him together.
