Another one-shot is here!
Summary: How would Klaus and Rebekah feel if Rebekah decided to move in with Matt and leave their mansion? Here's what I think. Song fic to 'Holding On and Letting Go' by Ross Copperman.
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody really know if it's the end of the beginning?
The quiet rush of one breath
Is all we're waiting for
Sometimes the one we're taking
Changes every one beforeā¦
Klaus looked out the window of his room for the hundredth time that morning, wondering if Rebekah would visit. Is anybody even out there? He wondered to himself as he walked to the kitchen.
When he got to the kitchen she was there. He was staring into her eyes, waiting for the quiet rush of breath to begin speaking. But the breath she took was only enough for her to change everything before. She hugged him and walked away.
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
"There." Rebekah said as she placed her last painting on the wall. Matt came up behind her and his arms snaked around her stomach. "I'm so glad you're here. You wouldn't believe how lonely I've been." He whispered in her ear. You're here the words swung open her future but slammed it on her past, and Nik.
"Well you won't be lonely anymore, well, not if I have a say in it." Rebekah said as she turned to kiss him. And as if her prayer was answered, the homesickness disappeared. "Bekah, what's wrong?" Matt asked, sensing her discomfort. "I love you, I love being her with you, this is everything I wanted, but I've never missed Nik so much in my life. So in a way, it's everything I don't want. I feel like I've lost him" Rebekah whispered.
She was afraid that Matt would lose interest in her if he heard her childish fear. "Oh, Bekah, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much I get that." Matt says with a soft smile. And with that smile, she held on to Matt and she let go of her fears for the night.
Sometimes we're holding angels
And we never even know
Don't know if we'll make it,
But we know,
We just can't let it show
"Nik, could you help me with this box?" Rebekah yelled from across the Mikaelson mansion that they shared. "Coming Bekah." Klaus yelled and rolled his eyes at his sister's need for help.
But that was two days ago and Klaus wished more than anything that he would've taken advantage of every second he had spent rolling his eyes and daggering his baby sister. Because now she was gone. And he missed her more than anything.
He never knew that his angel would leave. He didn't know, he couldn't know, what he would do without her. But if she asked, he wouldn't let his hurt show. No, he couldn't ruin her time with Matt. As he sketched another picture of her, a tiny tear trailed down his cheek.
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
Rebekah sat up in bed that morning. Alone. Matt had to work and she was alone. But she was in Matt's house, in Matt's bed, and going to see Matt for lunch. This was everything she wanted. But right at that moment she was alone, and without her big brother. That was everything she didn't want.
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Klaus finished his painting and poured himself more scotch. A door to a day or lifetime spent on art and himself was opened. But the door where him and Rebekah lived together and traveled together in peace had swung shut on him.
Some prayers find an answer
Rebekah had a feeling that she should go to her brother and spend some time with him. So that's what she did. As she pulled into the driveway, she finally felt whole.
Some prayers never know
As Klaus opened his front door to find his sister he was overjoyed. As the two caught up over glasses of wine by the fireplace he asked, "If it doesn't work out with the human would you return to my side?" Rebekah looked at him and said, "That's a prayer that will never get to know. I will not speak about my relationship with Matt failing."
We're holding on and letting go
After an hour more of just talking Rebekah announced that she had to go meet Matt for lunch. She expected to just walk away, but as she reached for her car door Klaus showed up and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"I will miss you Bekah. Tomorrow morning is when I depart for New Orleans. I had hoped you would join me but that is not so." He held out a drawing of the two of them playing some sort of chasing game before they were turned and said, "Hold on to this as a token of my love. Because I think it's time for us to let go for now."
Her teary blue eyes looked into his and she whispered, "Do not say goodbye. Mother always told me that saying goodbye means that we may not meet again." Klaus almost smiled at her belief. She had told him this story many times, but they always found each other when they said goodbye.
"That's the thing; we may not meet again for a very long while. I just want you to be prepared for it Bekah. You are holding on when you should be letting go." He murmured.
"I will always hold on. Even if everyone else lets you go. I will never say goodbye." Was her response as she pulled away from him to get in her car and leave. "Always and Forever." He whispered as she drove into the distance. And he swore that he heard his sister say, "Always and Forever, Nik."
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
