I have uploaded this before on 'Klaroline Drabbles' which has been replaced by this collection. This idea was created by myself and xXPrincess-of-DarknessxXx
Summary: Snippets of Klaroline as human children
Five year old Caroline Forbes was dropped off to school in the morning at the same time as another girl with a similar shade of hair.
"Caroline, I'd like to introduce Rebekah to you," her teacher spoke to them. "Her family have recently moved to the area." Caroline pulled Rebekah into a warm hug causing Rebekah to act a little startled by the action.
"We'll be best friends," Caroline announced causing a bright smile to appear on the new girl's face. "Let me show you Bonnie," Caroline pulled on her new friend's tiny hand into the classroom where a petite tan skinned child sat playing with a dolls house.
"Caroline!" Bonnie greeted them. "Hi, I'm Bonnie." She introduced herself to Rebekah, she smiled with a nod feeling a little overwhelmed by the sudden greeting.
The three girls got on very well and enjoyed playing together with skipping ropes and hoops in the playground. They enjoyed running around as the boys trying to shoot goals into the football net causing them to stick their tongues out in annoyance.
"Nik!" Rebekah screamed as her seven year old brother greeted her outside the classroom as she waited with Caroline. Bonnie had already been collected by her Father who was about to take her swimming.
"How was your first day?" The older boy asked, pulling his sister into an embrace.
"I've had lots of fun! This is Caroline, she my best friend!" Rebekah grinned pushing Caroline closer to Klaus.
"Hi," Caroline greeted him, blushing. For the first time in her life she felt drawn to the boy before her.
"Hello Caroline, I hope to see more of you in the future." The blonde girl smiled cutely and nodded. "We best be going otherwise our brothers will be angry, goodbye Caroline."
"Bye Caroline," Rebekah pulled her new friend into a hug before taking her brother's hand who led her away from the classroom door. Caroline's eyes lingered on Klaus' departing figure.
The following day Caroline spent her play time at school dressing up as a princess while Rebekah and Bonnie rummaged through the chest for their own costumes.
"You look beautiful, Queen Caroline," Klaus appeared in the doorway of the classroom as he was returning to his own. A blonde girl caught his attention as he took each step. He felt drawn to look at her again. Caroline turned her pretty little head to notice Rebekah's brother.
"No, me princess," she shook her head causing her blonde curls to fly about.
"You're better than a princess," Klaus insisted. Bonnie made a loud 'rawr' sound causing Rebekah to laugh at the toy dragon Bonnie had found.
"Will you save me from the dragons?" Caroline asked sweetly feeling scared of the threat Bonnie had created.
"I will always be your knight in shining armour sweetheart."
"Bekah, find Klaus a knight costume!" Caroline called over to the two girls.
"No, Nik's not playing," Rebekah pouted cutely.
"Sadly I can't your majesty maybe another time." Klaus apologised giving her a small bow. "I will see you later." Klaus gave Caroline a wave before leaving the girls to their dress up.
After Rebekah and Caroline were getting on so well, Rebekah invited Caroline around for the day on Saturday. Caroline's mother left the girls to it on the doorstep just before Klaus stepped down the stairway towards the blonde children.
"Caroline," he greeted her with a smile.
"Klaus," she smiled adorably. "I like your hair," she added noticing it was still damp from his shower this morning. Klaus' eyes raked along Caroline's floral dress and how her curls bounced up and down in the high pony tail on her head.
"I like your everything," he smiled. Rebekah felt awkward as her friend seemed more interested with her brother. She eventually walked away from the situation hearing her other brother, Kol, in the kitchen.
"You have dimples. They cute," Caroline observed with a grin.
"Thank you, love." Klaus stepped off the last step, his feet meeting the wooden flooring. "I like you."
"I like cookies, do you have cookies?" Caroline asked, not really understand the context of Klaus' statement.
"We may have some in the kitchen or I'm sure Rebekah will help you make some..." Klaus moved closer to her again as he intended on reaching the kitchen.
"Brownies?" Caroline made another request.
"Anything for you."
"Really?" Caroline's eye lit up in delight.
"Yeah," Klaus gently kissed Caroline's cheek causing a giggle to sound from Caroline's parted lips. "You're beautiful," Klaus added making Caroline's recently kissed cheeks to turn rosy.
"I'm not that beautiful," she shook her head in disagreement.
"No you're perfect," Klaus added causing Caroline's cheeks to flush further.
Klaus let Rebekah spend some time with her friend in the kitchen, as Klaus had mentioned before they baked cookies and brownies which they had to hide from Kol's clutches otherwise their creations would have disappeared.
In the back garden of the Mikaelson family home, the girls played in the sand pit having a competition about who could build the tallest castle. Caroline was clearly winning as Rebekah's sand was too dry to stand on top of one another.
Rebekah's brother Kol was only a year older than the girls and seemed to enjoy running around the garden with a foam aeroplane in his fingers. Making the noise that the large machines would make, he ran around the girls until he treaded straight through Caroline's artist work. Her castle flopped onto the grass around the pit, some of the grains had stuck to Kol's jeans as he continued to run.
"Kol!" Rebekah exclaimed standing and running after her brother. She screamed at him for ruining their game. Caroline sat in the pit crying as she saw the remaining piles of sand.
Klaus wondered outside wondering what all the noise was about. Once he saw Caroline crying he ran over to her and extended his arms offering her a hug. He was completely oblivious to his siblings chasing each other around the garden.
"What's the matter Caroline?" The older boy inquired as Caroline accepted his comforting embrace.
"Kol ruined my sand castle," she whimpered into his shoulder, causing the tears from her eyes to dampen the material of his shirt.
"Let me help you build another one," he offered with a kind smile as Caroline pulled away with a pleased nod.
"Okay," she smiled moving towards the piles of sand. "Thanks."
"No problem love, I would like to help you," Klaus smiled collecting the buckets. "Rebekah, come help Caroline and I recreate her castle." He called out to his sister who eventually ran over, seeming out of breath from her time chasing Kol.
"I like you to help too," Caroline beamed watching as Klaus began gathering the sand into the bucket.
"Let's make a huge castle!" Rebekah decided assisting Klaus and Caroline in the sand pit.
Caroline's time at the Mikaelson's home was coming to an end, she'd had quite the day hanging out with Rebekah and recovering from Kol's attacks. Klaus was around and she'd taken quite a liking to his kind nature towards her.
"Oh good, you haven't left yet," Klaus appeared in the hallway standing by Caroline and Rebekah just as they were about to say goodbye. "I have something for you." Klaus offered Caroline a rolled up piece of paper with a drawing inside. Caroline unrolled the masterpiece causing a bright smile to appear on her lips.
"Is that me?" She questioned noticing the familiar features and her hair tied up with her curls dribbling down.
"Yes, it's you. Although it's not better than the original." Klaus smirked offering the girl a quick wink. Caroline giggled and a warm blush spread across her cheeks.
"I love it," she complimented on the basic level.
"Thank you, love," Klaus smiled glancing between his drawing and Caroline herself as she gazed upon it.
"You talented," she added feeling Rebekah's presence as she peered over at the drawing over Caroline's shoulder.
"You're my muse," he added.
"Oh cool," she smiled shyly not mentioning the fact she had no idea what a 'muse' was. Klaus's wide smile showed off his adorable dimples making Caroline giggle.
"Your dimples showing."
"The dimples that you like," he smirked raising his hand to push a stray curl behind Caroline's ear that had obviously fallen from her pony tail.
"Yes they are sweet," she nodded before glancing to Rebekah. "My Mummy outside waiting, I should go. Bye Rebekah," Caroline pulled her friend into a hug before doing the same with Klaus. They both returned it with Klaus clinging on a little longer than his sister.
"Goodbye Caroline," Klaus said his goodbyes with her name smoothly rolling off his tongue.
The little girl smiled before meeting her mother's arms at the door. Both Mikaelson siblings watched as their new friend made her way into the back seat of her mother's car ready to go home after a tiring day.
Rebekah closed the door before smirking at her brother.
"Niklaus has a crush on Caroline," she grinned yelling it out to the house.
"I do not. Shut up Rebekah," he growled. Kol laughed in the other room, agreeing with Rebekah's statement as he saw how Klaus had cared for Rebekah's friend.
