"Also here's an idea, Klaroline or Forwood movie date gone wrong!" – A Lost Vamp
Mid terms are over. On to Foundation Week, Semi-finals, theses and more shit I'm beginning to really hate.
Also, OMIL's birthday is coming up so please don't give any prompts yet. I'm trying to get the remaining prompts done till then because I have something planned for OMIL's one year birthday. Can't believe I've been writing your ideas for a year now.
Caroline first met Niklaus Mikaelson when she was five and he and his family were moving in next door. She saw the tall, blond thirteen year old get out of the car with more grace than any boy she's ever seen and she was smitten. It was love at first sight.
Then his little brother Kol followed him, the fellow five year old throwing a rock at her and giving her a nosebleed and she was furious. It was hate at first sight.
Caroline had spent the next decade and a half trying to get close to one Mikaelson boy and avoid the other. But the age difference between her and Klaus made sure he was off far away in high school, college or his fancy new job and apartment in New York.
Meanwhile she was stuck with the boy from hell who firmly believed she was put into this world for his sadistic entertainment. The rock incident had just been the beginning.
His first day in her kindergarten class, he pushed her into the mud, sat on her and shoved worms down her throat. In grade school, he got into constant fights with her with both of them at least ending up in the principal's office once a week. In high school, he tried to sabotage every single relationship she was in by spreading the most bizarre rumors about her.
She thought that upon graduating high school and getting into Princeton, a school hundreds of miles away from where he was supposed to be attending Duke that she was finally rid of him. And yet there he was in the corner of the bar she was currently in, trying her best to be a glistening example of Klaus' perfect girl and Kol Mikaelson just mysteriously appeared out of nowhere like some monstrous mirage.
She tried her best to not let it show that she was beyond unhappy that Kol was breathing the same air as her again. Klaus' unexpected visiting of her was something she never thought happen but there it was. She was with Klaus Mikaelson, the boy she's been crushing on since as far as she could remember and so help her, she will kill Kol right then and there if he dare even approach them.
"I have to tell you, I'm kinda surprised you came to visit me," Caroline admitted. "What's the occasion?"
"I've been thinking about visiting you for a while," Klaus smiled that irresistible smile of his, all dimples and green eyes. "Ever since your last birthday."
A little light in her was flaring with happiness. "Oh?"
"I remember seeing you at the Grill that night and thinking about how stunning you looked." His eyes bore into hers with the promises of the world. "You're certainly not that little girl I first saw all those years ago anymore."
She was dying. This had to be heaven because Klaus thought she was 'stunning' and she thought she wasn't a kid anymore which means…could he? Oh please be what she was hoping he was about to do.
"And I really feel like I've known you forever," Klaus continued. "You're very important to me."
Her heart beat frantically in her chest like a hamster spinning on his wheel, training for the next Olympics. This was it. The moment she'd been waiting for her whole life, Klaus Mikaelson was going to tell her he felt the same way she did and that they should elope to Vegas right now, have little perfect blonde babies and live happily ever after. This was it!
"You're like another sister to me."
Insert record scratch her.
Huh?
Klaus continued smiling even as her world started to crumble around her, not really noticing as her dreams all died around her like soldiers being shot down by bullets from the sky. "Which is why I want you to be the godmother."
Godmother?
"W-What?" She squeaked out, her voice small in her throat, suffocating, dying.
Klaus grasped her hand on the table and squeezed but it wasn't enough to clear her head and she stared at him in a daze. "I'm going to be a father. It was completely unplanned, one night stand gone wrong- or right if you want to look at it that way with this girl. Her name is Hayley and either way, she's going to keep the baby and I'm going to make sure he or she has a good life-"
"W-Wait, what?" She uttered out, shaking his hand off, her fingers going to her aching temples. "What the hell is going on?"
He gave her a patient smile. "I was asking you to be the godmother of my unborn child."
Her intestines have risen up to strangle her heart like an anaconda strangling a crocodile. "But why?"
"Because as I said, you're like my sister." He explains calmly then shrugs. "So what do you say?"
She didn't know what to say or think to be honest, her head was spinning and she wanted to very dearly crawl into a hole now. How could she have been so stupid to think Klaus was here to return her affections when there were other girls he was busy impregnating?
He hadn't even considered that she was worthy enough to be impregnated – no , she was just Caroline Forbes who tried to drown his brother in the pond behind their house when they were seven. And who his brother made the whole school believe that she had both genital organs.
"Can I…get back to you on this?" Caroline finally managed to say. "I'd like to put some into it before I give you an answer."
Klaus nodded as if expecting it and stood up, throwing some cash on the table for the bill and then went around to her side to give her a soft kiss on her pale cheek. "Tell me when you've made up your mind."
Then he left and she was there at the table staring into her drink and wanting to die.
"Well, that was pathetic."
She closed her eyes at the all-too familiar voice and willed him to go away. Not now, not now, anytime but now. Please make him go away, Lord.
"Then again, everyone was expecting it." She opened her eyes to see that infuriating smirk of his and looked down at the table again, trying to drown him out as he took the seat Klaus vacated and continued his mocking of her. "Everyone who wasn't blind could see Nik was never going to think of you that way. It's basic science."
"Basic what?" She looked at him to explain more. "What are you talking about?"
"Nik's like the alpha wolf. He's going to be searching for an alpha female to match him. And even if you had reached all the requirements, he would've still been able to shag any bird he fancies since you're so blind about him you'll forgive him anything."
She wanted to cry or strangle him to death. She thought about it and remembered her vow to herself when she was a child that she'd never cry in front of Kol Mikaelson. He was the enemy and he'd use that show of vulnerability and make her feel worse.
But the tears came before she could stop him and his eyes might've softened the most miniscule bit before she wiped at her eyes and looked away from him. "Please just go."
"Forbes-"
"You're just going to be an asshole for the rest of the night and I really don't need it." Caroline shook her head. "You're not even supposed to be here. You're supposed to be in North Caroline, miles and miles away."
She looked up again and saw him staring at her intently like she was a flower unraveling in front of him and inside her was the results of every NBA game for the next decade. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He inclined his head, eyes never leaving her. "Go on. Ask it."
She knew what he was talking about somehow and asked, slowly, "Why are you here?"
"Because I needed to see you," He answered, face somewhat indifferent, like a shuttered window only letting small streaks of light out.
"Why?" She asked and this time watched his open the blinds and let her see what was inside. And it was something she didn't expect.
"I missed you." He told her with a wince and an embarrassed smile. She's never seen him look so bemused and yet sincere before. It was odd. "Like really badly."
"I've wanted to drive here and see you for the entire semester and the day I finally make up my mind to go, my brother shows up at your dorm first and I knew there was no competing with him." Smile looked more pained than awkward now. "After all, you've been in love with him forever and you've hated me just as long."
She was frozen in her seat, heartbeat frantic, veins icy with terror and should really stop anticipating what was going to happen next after earlier with Klaus but she knew, like a dark little secret she never admitted to herself what he was going to say next.
"And I know I've been an arse, it's who I am. You know that but you need to know that I-"
"Okay!" She stood up, cutting off the damning words about to escape his mouth. "This has been fun –not really, no. Not fun at all so I'm going to go and you never call me or come near me again. Got it?"
"Caroline, you didn't even let me finish-"
"Oh, what happened to 'Forbes'?" She started gesticulating in denial of what was happening. "Come on, don't forget, Mikaelson, we are enemies. Ever since we were five, practically our whole existences up to now, we have hated each other and I'm okay with that, really."
"I'm not."
She looked down at him and the intensity in his dark eyes was almost searing and she found herself talking her seat again, something in his expression forcing her to submit so he can finish this confession that would complicate things beyond imagination. "Why is that?'
"Because. It's so obvious!" He laughed bitterly. "For years, I've tried to hint it at you and you never noticed."
"Right? Like when you force fed me worms, or bruised my arm in middle school, or when you got Tyler Lockwood to break up with me when you asked him if he was okay with me being a former man?" Caroline bristled. "You've done nothing but treat me like shit."
"Like you were such a picnic!" He retorted. "You spat the worms and shove them down my pants. When I bruised you, you scratched and bit and punched back like hell. And Tyler Lockwood was a prat and you should be thanking me for scaring him off before he gave you an STD."
She was fuming, fists clenched and wanting to tear his ears off with her teeth just to hear the asshole scream. "What makes you think I feel the same way I about you?"
"Because you refused to stop it. This little game we have." He leaned towards her. "You never let anyone stop it no matter how bad it got because you like fighting with me, you like hating me, and you like the fact I spend so much time trying to make sure no one touches you."
She glared at him and leaned closer until his breaths tickled her skin, making her feel hyper aware. "Really now? Is that right?"
"Yes," He grinned, all sex and venom. "I dear say you might even love it."
"I do?" She cocked an eyebrow. "Why would I?"
"Because," He grabbed her hand with a grip tighter than Klaus' and it made her blood start to burn in her veins. "You want me."
She smiled at him, all teeth. "Maybe you're just projecting."
"I'm not." He told her like the opposite of his answer was ridiculous. "Let me prove it to you."
She gave him a challenging look which he took with relish. "How?"
He gave her that smile again, all sex and everything that came with it. He pulled her hand closer to him, thumb caressing the skin of her knuckles. Her stomach fluttered like bats trying to escape, having eaten the butterflies. "Your dorm's nearby right?"
"Mm-hmm," She pursed her lips. "So we sex it out and then what? We get over this?"
"No. I've never gotten over you, believe me I've tried." Kol pointed out. "Which means after we have mind-blowing sex tonight, I'm going to stay the rest of the weekend before returning to Duke. Then you'll pester me by calling me every day until the next time we see each other and I'm secretly going to love every second of it."
His grip on her hand became more gentle and he covered her hand with both of his before continuing. "And for Christmas, you're going to visit my family with me and I'm going to officially introduce my family to the girl I fell in love with when I was five."
"So in love you threw a rock at her face." She was smiling now but still reeling from how the night had gone for her. "You haven't really said the three words out yet though."
"Demanding. I like it." He smiled at her and the way his eyes shined when he smiled at her, made her want to spontaneously combust. "I love you." He said it simply, lightly like it was just a fact everyone knew.
Everyone knew but her until them. Probably.
"Now can we get to the sex part?"
She laughed and smacked him.
