Caroline yawned slowly, her eyes opening in a haze. She put her hand out, expecting to feel another body next to her but was met with cold sheets. A frown overcame her face instantly.

"I'm right here sweetheart." She heard a chuckle on her right, and her eyes darted to find her hybrid sitting on the love seat, a sketchbook on his lap. He was moving the pencil he had in circled strokes.

"Come back to bed, I feel cold." She whined, wanting his body next to hers. She smiled in triumph when she heard him abandon his sketchbook for her, and soon enough her bed moved and she felt him lie down next to her, his chin on her shoulder.

"How are you feeling today?" She hear him ask, his breath fanning on her neck, she shuddered. "Forgiving, I hope?"

Biting her lip, she turned to face him, her body now flush against his. "Maybe. But I really do feel like you can do a little better to earn my forgiveness,"

He nodded, a smirk on his face, she instantly knew what his thoughts occupied and she blushed. "Don't even think about it! Sex can't get you out of every punishment."

He laughed, showing his dimples. "I disagree sweetheart. Sex with you can get me out of every punishment. The only thing I have to do is put this finger," he wiggled his index finger," and creep it under here," his finger made it's way under her skirt and her breath hitched. "And then just push it in and let my mouth do the rest."

She glared at him playfully when he took his hand out. "Tease."

Smiling broadly he got up, holding his hand out for her. "Come on, we have to get you ready for today." He said.

"Why? School's not until three." She informed him, pulling her shirt over her head and making her way to the bathroom.

"I know, but Rebekah insists we get going for some gathering she said you would understand the rest."

"Oh yeah," She mumbled, coming out of the bathroom wearing a pink shaded white stripped cut top that showed skin. His eyes undressed her with each garment and she rolled her eyes and ignored the way his hands were coming at her.

"The more you look at me like that the more your going to get us in trouble, so I recommend you picture my mother naked," She smiled when he gasped in disgust," And let's go."

He shook his head at her. "You'll pay for that love, messing with a man's needs is not something that should be labelled humorous." And grinned at her scoff as she walked down the stairs.

"Your horny everyday, today is no exception." She sassed, swaying her hips in a way that drove him mad. He jogged towards her and snaked his hands around her waist as they joined the others for breakfast.

"There you are! I thought I had to go upstairs and drop vervain on you when you didn't show your face." Rebekah scowled. Today was important and she wouldn't let the blonde ruin it.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again." She thanked Elijah for the bowl of fruit he gave her.

Kol sniggered. "Funny. This happens everyday, mostly when Nik is home late with you." He gave a silent ow when Klaus slapped his head.

"Oh stop being so immature Kol." He said in annoyance.

Kol grinned innocently. "What? It's true. You two are like a loud porno movie. OH KLAUS! HARDER FASTER!" He bellowed loudly and burst into a fit of laughter.

Caroline stifled her laugh, trying to contain the pink of her cheeks and gave the Mikaelson brother a playful death glare. "You just earned yourself a death wish."

He wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively. "Maybe I could take it upstairs, and we can resolve this like strippers."

She tried not to laugh at his comment but failed as she roared into giggles, falling to the floor. Klaus glared at Kol and scorned him.

"Kol, you are too funny to resist." She said in awe, wiping joyful tears.

"I knew you couldn't resist me Caroline, after all, I am the most handsome brother." He exaggerated, pretending to flip his hair.

"You wish." Rebekah laughed, dropping her fork.

Kol placed his hand on his heart, taking offence at her words. "That hurts sister, really it does."

Caroline smiled, taking in the family before her. It seemed crazy how she could just blink and realise they wouldn't disappear. Nothing was more important than this. Absolutely nothing.
