"Well this wasn't how I wanted you two to meet." Klaus grumbled sleepily rubbing his eyes.
Caroline and the the other man looked at him confusingly.
Klaus sighed. "Caroline this is my roommate Stefan. Stefan, this is my girlfriend Caroline."
"Girlfriend?"
"Roommate?"
They both asked at the same time with scrunched noses making Klaus heavily sigh.
"What do you mean girlfriend?" Stefan asked, quirking a brow. "I haven't been gone that long-"
"Weren't you supposed to be gone until next week?" Caroline murmured.
"And you weren't supposed to be here at all." Stefan fought back.
"Enough." Klaus intruded walking more into the kitchen. " I thought you weren't going to be back for another week, mate?"
"That was the plan, business trip ended sooner than expected so here I am. Nice homecoming present by the way." Stefan said in a sarcastic tone winking at an annoyed Caroline.
She rolled her eyes turning towards the drink sink to switch the faucet on.
Klaus sighed taking another step towards his friend. "Look I'll explain everything later but I need to talk to Caroline, alone."
Eyes shifting between his friend and the blonde at the sink, Stefan sighed under his breath.
"Fine but you definitely have a lot of explaining to do." He agreed with a whisper, picking up his bag and suitcase then walking to his room.
Klaus nodded, nervously licking his lips before turning to Caroline who was now looking at him nervously. She was playing with the hem of his Henley she was wearing and pressing her lips together in a line, waiting for him to say something.
He walked over to her cautiously. "Morning, love." He said with a smile, leaning one hand on the counter.
Caroline smiled back, climbing on her tip toes to plant a small kiss on his rosy lips.
"Morning, baby."
Klaus was taken aback by the ridiculous pet name but coming from Caroline he could hear it all day.
He kissed her back lovingly, wrapping his arm around her waist pulling her into him. A low moan escaped past her lips, making them both smirk. Klaus kissed her again before leaning his forehead against hers sighing.
"Sorry you had to wake up alone." Klaus muttered softly.
She bit her lip lightly grinning. "It's okay, I liked watching you sleep."
"Well that doesn't sound creepy at all." He joked.
Caroline playfully pushed him away from her with a laugh.
"I meant because you looked peaceful sleeping, jerk." She giggled swatting him on the shoulder but he caught her hand midair, planting small loving kisses on her palm.
"After last night, it's impossible not to be at peace." Klaus smirked tilting up her chin to kiss her softly.
Caroline smiled against his lips, reveling in the fact that he couldn't get enough of her just as much she couldn't get enough of him. He never wasted a moment touching her and she honestly felt she would combust if he ever stopped.
His hand raked up her leg, teasing the hem of the shirt she was wearing. Expected as much, he smirked realizing she was naked underneath the big shirt.
"God, you're so sexy. I love seeing you in my clothes with my scent and our mutual one all over you, reminding me of what we did. It's taking my every will power to not take you over this sink right now." Klaus whispered, kissing her deeper and raising his hand higher up her thigh.
Caroline harshly moaned at his words, she loved dirty talk. Winding her fingers through his curls she pressed her body onto his.
"Then do it." She practically begged, licking around the seam of his mouth hotly before probing her tongue in.
She wanted him, she wanted him now.
Her plan for the morning was to wake him up with a blowjob then climb over his face so he could reciprocate the favor. Then they would thoroughly shower together, get dressed before going to the kitchen to find breakfast. Which they would eventually end up fucking on the counter then for round two, move over to the couch in the living room...or floor?
They were both too caught up in each other to care about anything or anyone else. Klaus teased a finger over her wet slit making Caroline whimper in anticipation as she chased his touch.
"This doesn't look like talking." Stefan commented with a disgusted expression on his face as he walked back into the kitchen.
Klaus quickly pulled away from his blonde lover with a growl at the voice interrupting them. Caroline shared the same frustrated expression towards Stefan, if looks could kill he'd be dead.
"Ever heard of privacy?" Caroline snapped.
Stefan widened his eyes. "She does realize this is my loft and not her's right?"
"Enough, both of you." Klaus demanded.
Caroline dramatically rolled her eyes. "I'm going to take a shower, I'm allowed to do that right?" Pointing her sass at Stefan, leaving a heavy kiss on Klaus's mouth before gladly pulling away with a satisfied smile walking past the other man.
His eyes followed her until she was out of sight, looking back at Klaus.
"She's...something." Stefan commented.
Klaus proudly grinned. "Yeah, she is."
Stefan fought of a smirk, awkwardly clearing his throat. "How did this even start, you and her? Last I recall you and Genevieve were keeping company but now suddenly you have a girlfriend?"
He tensed at the mention of the pretty redhead.
"Can we not talk about Genevieve?"
"Let me guess, your little girlfriend doesn't know?" Stefan teased.
"She has a name, you know." Klaus warned washing his hands in the sink.
Stefan amusingly lifted his eyebrows and pressed his lips together into a line. "Sorry. Does Caroline not know?" He emphasized her name feasibly making Klaus lowly chuckle.
"Quite the opposite actually, she knows all too well and in an odd change of events, Genevieve is the reason me and Caroline are even back together." Klaus finished leaning back against the sink with crossed arms.
Stefan shook his head in confusion. "Wait back together? You two were dating before?"
Klaus sighed. It kinda just hit him that he hasn't told Stefan anything about Caroline. Not because he was ashamed or wouldn't want the world to know they were together but out of respect for her. By the time Klaus moved back to New York and moved in with Stefan, him and Caroline were in a rocky place. Neither knew where the relationship was going or if it was going anywhere at all which at the time it wasn't.
"It's a complicated and long story, mate." Klaus replied.
"We have time." Stefan said pointing his head towards the the hallway of the bathroom where he could hear the shower on.
The two walked over to the living room area, sitting on the leather couch as Klaus began explaining the root of him and Caroline. He hesitated before speaking, not necessarily sure how Stefan was going to react to him falling in love with his high school student. As the story went on he could sense judgement in Stefan's eyes and throw away responses, especially when he brought up their first time having sex was at a school event. Klaus mentioned their tough times which led to their "break up" when he moved here and how they reconciled last night.
When he finished, they sat in silence for a couple of minutes. He waited for Stefan to wrap his head around the fact that his best friend's girlfriend just a few days ago graduated from high school. Klaus wasn't expecting Stefan to blindly be okay with the situation, Rebekah was the same. But no matter what he thought, it wouldn't change how he felt about Caroline. If only Stefan knew how many times he tried to change his feelings for the intriguing blonde beauty, nearly impossible.
"Say something." Klaus lowly demanded, rubbing the back of his neck looking down.
Stefan deeply sighed, anxiously scooting to the edge of he couch and interlocking his fingers. "I- I don't know what to say. Not everyday my 24 year old best friend tells me the girl he loves and is sleeping with just became legal."
Klaus chuckled under his breath.
"Listen, Klaus umm...the way you and Caroline got together was wrong and I'm not going to pretend that it wasn't just because you're my friend." Stefan said sternly.
He understandably nodded. "I know."
Stefan nervously licked his lips and lightly biting his lip. "But, I've done my share of questionable acts and you didn't judge me and I'm not judging you with Caroline. Your setup might've been unconventional but what you two have together now is good. In the eight years I've known you I've never seen you smile this much or this happy with anyone." He commented.
A faint grin spread across Klaus's face. "I love her, you know."
"Love? Klaus Mikaelson using the forbidden four lettered word?" Stefan teased making them both laugh.
"I do though, she makes me happy in more ways than I could have imagined with anyone else." He explained. "Commitment and love, two concepts I never gave a damn about until Caroline. Until I realized that's exactly what I want with her."
Stefan's eyes widened in shock but he simply nodded. "Wow, that's big. So...when is she leaving?"
Klaus lowered his head slightly sighing. "Tomorrow evening."
His dirty blonde friend widened his eyes. "So soon?"
"The plan was for her to be here just for my art show and at the time we were broken up and I wasn't exactly on her good side when she found out about Genevieve." He explained.
"I didn't plan on us getting back together, I hoped but I thought we were done for good till we weren't."
"And now?" Stefan asked.
Klaus shrugged. "And now I don't want to let her go, again. I would love for Caroline to stay for a week or even for good but I won't fool myself into believing it's realistic, at least not for awhile."
The other man pursed his lips and scrunched his eyebrows.
"In those six months we were apart she already established a life for herself back home. She'll be going to college and working and she's excited about it I can tell. I wouldn't want to take that away from her."
"You should still talk to her about it, you owe yourself and her at least that."
"I know, I just don't want her to feel obligated. I want her to have everything she wants in life and enjoy it even if it doesn't involve me."
"Well, love is selfless after all." Stefan commented with a faint smile, observing his saddened friend.
He looked around awkwardly before speaking again. "Klaus umm...do you see a future with her? Distance seems to be your main obstacle but if a couple is willing to make it work they will. So with that in mind, do you see your relationship long term?"
Klaus licked his lips still looking down instead of at his roommate. Him and Caroline haven't had the "future talk" with each other yet, and now would be good a time as any. He's been willing to make it work and after last night he has a feeling Caroline feels the same. But they still need to talk about it and Klaus wasn't sure he was ready for that discussion.
He opened his mouth to speak until Caroline's sudden presence in the room stopped him, and their eyes met intensely.
She had a wide smile stretched across her face, practically glowing. Wearing a short blue summer dress. Her hair, bouncy golden loose curls that cascaded down her back and over her shoulders
Klaus couldn't even fight back the automatic smile on his face. Seeing her this happy and him being the reason for it made him want to shout from the rooftops.
"Are you two done gazing at each other?" Stefan interrupted making Klaus and Caroline roll their eyes.
Klaus stood from his seat. "I'll get dressed." He said walking past her.
Caroline lowly scoffed, feeling more than awkward and annoyed being left alone in the room with his roommate.
"I'll help." She announced.
"Am I really that bad of company?" Stefan teased.
Caroline glared at him before following after Klaus into his room.
"So...that was interesting and not at all awkward." Caroline said sarcastically to Klaus as they walked through Central Park together.
Their arms interlocked as they walked through the huge landmark, Klaus informing her how imperative it was for him to take her here before she left.
He hated thinking about her leaving. Though she had only been in New York for a day, he was already use to her being around. Waking up to her, going to sleep with her and knowing she would always be there made Klaus feel a warmth that he wasn't ready to let go of. Caroline's soon departure made Klaus ponder over what Stefan mentioned before they were interrupted
- Do you see a future with her?
Of course he did, a future with Caroline was everything he wanted and more.
Klaus had this on his mind all morning even while they were eating breakfast at the intimate cafe around the corner from his building. Caroline was rambling about how amazing the pancakes were while Klaus tried to stay engaged in the conversation so she wouldn't question him. Talking about the future was scary enough but not knowing how Caroline would react to the subject was worse.
He knew Caroline loved him and cared about him but she was still very young. She hasn't experienced nearly what he has nor been involved in a serious relationship before. Klaus was ready to settle down while Caroline still had so much more living to do.
"Stefan sure knows how to make an entrance, always has." Klaus teasingly stated as they continued walking.
"How did you two meet again?"
"College roommates. He was studying business while I studied art, I'm sure you could assume his frustration of our dorm room smelling of paint every night. We absolutely hated each other at first."
Caroline smiled. "I guess people do become friends in the the most unexpected ways."
Klaus grinned in response before stopping in his tracks.
Caroline scrunched her eyebrows in confusion when he stopped walking. "Klaus?"
Unlinking their arms and reaching down to grab her hand, lacing their fingers together he sighed. "There's something I want to talk to you about."
"Uh-oh. That doesn't sound good." Caroline frowned.
Klaus's eyes shot up. "No! No, love it's nothing like that I assure you. If anything it's the complete opposite of what you're thinking."
She exhaled into a smile.
He led them to a bench to sit down. Klaus was nervous and surely Caroline could tell based on his hand sweating wrapped around her's.
Facing her and looking into her lively blue eyes Klaus couldn't hide how happy he felt, how happy she made him.
He cleared his throat nervously. "I didn't plan on us getting back together this weekend, I didn't plan on falling in love with you all over again."
Caroline's smile widened.
"Those six months we were apart was brutal, but when I got the opportunity to see you again there was a shed of hope. Hope that maybe this wasn't it, that our story wasn't done being told and I was right. Surely it took us a little while but we eventually did find our way back to each other in the end." He grinned.
She fought back the tears that threatened to drop.
"And now you're leaving tomorrow..." Klaus said somberly.
Caroline's joyous expression now dropping into a frown at the reminder.
He sighed. "We're going to be apart again but I don't want what happened last time to happen again..."
"Neither do I." Caroline intruded.
Klaus grinned. "Umm...I've been thinking about this for awhile now and Stefan bringing it up and you leaving are signs that I should finally address it..."
The blonde beauty was puzzled by Klaus's nervousness.
"Do you see a future with me, Caroline?" He shakily asked.
"What?" She whispered, practically stunned by the question.
Klaus bit his lip nervously. "I asked if you see a future with me? Because I see one with you. When I look at my life 10 years from now, I see you there with me."
Caroline's chest was heaving up and down.
"Us living here in New York in a loft of our own. I would hopefully have a gallery of my own by then while you flood your work schedule with new parties to plan. I know you said you were interested in broadcast journalism, but organizing events and bossing others around is your true gift." He teased with a smirk.
She blushed and giggled.
"Our days would be busy and so would our nights and we'll probably struggle making time for each other. But we would mange to keep the passion brewing between us and never let our love die." He continued.
"I want to go to sleep and wake up to you. I see myself settling down with you, Caroline whatever that might mean. Whether it's marriage or us just being together. I don't want to pressure you to feel what I feel because I know you don't and I don't want to scare you off with all of this, I just want to be honest. And honestly...I don't see the rest of my life without you being apart of it." Klaus finally finished taking a breath.
Caroline was speechless.
This was the last thing she was expecting him to say to her. She was stunned and emotional but didn't know how to feel all at the same time.
"Caroline?"
She blinked a few times before looking back up into Klaus's worrisome eyes.
"Sorry, I just..."
"I scared you."
"No!" She closed her eyes taking a deep breath. "Umm...I'm just surprised."
Klaus nodded looking at the ground. He didn't know what else to say in this moment and neither did she. Caroline's silence was unnerving and Klaus wished he could take back everything he just said.
Clearing his throat again, Klaus let go of her hand and stood from the bench. "Right well, we should probably head back."
Caroline furrowed her eyebrows standing up as well. "What? Why?"
"It's going to take us awhile to walk out of the park, I figured we should get a head start."
"Klaus..." She sighed.
"Caroline it's fine. I don't want you feeling obligated and I already knew you didn't feel the same and that's okay."
She grinned. "That's good to know but you have nothing to worry about."
Klaus scrunched his brows slightly.
Caroline took a step towards him, placing her hand on one side of his face to bring him in for a kiss.
Klaus kissed her back softly, loving the feel of her lips mixing with his. His arm wrapped around her waist to bring her closer against his body. Caroline lowly moaned into his mouth while his tongue proved into her's slowly, then both clearly forgetting they were in public during their haze of passion.
She pulled away with a smile before the kiss could become anymore intense. Klaus relaxed into her touch as she smoothly caressed his stubbled cheek with the tips of her fingers.
"I see a future with you too, Klaus." She confirmed with another wide smile.
Klaus was still dumbfounded at her admission.
Caroline grabbed both his hands into her's. "You surprised me with what you said, I was caught completely off guard but I didn't realize how much I wanted you to say it till it was out in the open. Moving to New York and building a future with you is everything I could want."
"I don't want you to feel pressured..."
She scoffed in offense, taking a step back. "Excuse me? Do you not know me by now? No one can pressure me to do or feel anything I don't want myself."
Klaus lightly chuckled. "You're right, love."
"I know I am." Caroline sassed stepping towards him again. "Which means I'm not pressured into wanting to be with you long term. You make me happy, so damn happy. I love being around you and being able to talk to you about anything without feeling judged. You make me feel confident, beautiful and loved, that's more than anyone has ever given me."
Klaus faintly grinned. He still couldn't understand how anyone could mistreat someone as lively and caring as Caroline. How no one took the time to get to know her and love her. Though he was happy he made her happy, it didn't irk him any less that it took this long for her to feel this way about herself.
"Marriage is a lot to tackle and I'm only 18 years old and marriage isn't something I ever really considered for myself. But I also never thought I'd find that person who I could love forever. So who knows, I mean I don't want it anytime soon even though Caroline Mikaelson does have a nice ring to it." She teased.
Klaus pulled her closer to his chest. "Now, I do love the sound of that."
Caroline giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Easy bud, I love you but I just don't want that kind of commitment yet."
He understandably nodded.
"But...that doesn't mean I don't want to move to New York one day with you. Buy a place of our own together in the city but I get to decorate of course." She pointed out making Klaus laugh.
"Of course." He agreed with a smirk.
"And when you come home late at night from work smelling of paint and your body's all tense and worn out from the day, I'll be waiting for you with a bubble bath and a naked me inside." Caroline commented with a lip bite.
Klaus's breath hitched at the visual. "I don't do bubble baths, love."
She scoffed. "Did you completely disregard the 'naked me' tidbit?"
Klaus chuckled pulling her in for a passionate kiss. They both smiled into it, letting their mouths and tongue express what words couldn't. Neither could even attempt to hide their feelings in this moment, completely disregarding those walking pass giving them dirty looks for the public display of affection.
They were finally in a good place, a happy place.
Instead of dwelling on her soon departure, they were going to make the most of the time they had left together. Reveling in the fact that they both want to be in each other's lives for as long as they can.
Caroline deeply moaned as Klaus's hands began to venture down her hips, lightly squeezing through the fabric of her dress. Images of the plans she had for them this morning began spinning in her head as his ministrations continued.
"We should really head back." She suggested in between kisses.
Klaus nodded still kissing her.
He clearly wasn't interested in leaving this spot no matter how inappropriate it was, but it was also thrilling. But they needed to stop at least till they were in private.
Caroline granted him one last kiss before pushing herself away with a groan. "As much as I would love to indulge in severe PDA and possibly getting arrested for blowing you in Central Park, we really should head back to the loft."
Klaus lowly snarled. "I guess you're right, I do you owe after all for letting you wake up alone."
"Yeah you do." She smiled mischievously.
"Stefan?" Klaus called unlocking and entering the loft with Caroline not to far behind.
He called out his friend's name again but no answer which made his smile widen, turning towards the beautiful blonde girl closing the door.
"Well it looks like it's just you and me, love." Klaus said teasingly walking towards her with a lustful glint in his eye.
Caroline didn't waste a second before jumping on him. Klaus caught her as their mouths melted together hotly, as he walked them over to the living room. Their lips never detached even as he moved till he sat down on the leather couch bringing her down with him. Straddling his lap, Caroline instantly began rocking herself against him seductively.
"Someone's eager." Klaus groaned against her lips.
"Shut up." Caroline demanded breathlessly kissing him deeper.
She cradled his face in both of her hands, her lips fire on his. Her tongue exploring his mouth, her lips attacking his feverishly Klaus could barely keep up.
He bunched up her dress, needing to feel her skin under his fingertips. Klaus caressed her thighs briefly before venturing up to her dress straps. Peeling one strap down at a time, Klaus lightly kissed over the newly exposed skin making Caroline purr on top of him.
Klaus held her back so she was pressed against him, his mouth worshipping any patch of skin in sight.
"Mmm..." Caroline hummed. Her eyes closed grinning as she reveled in the feel of his mouth on her, loving her.
"Touch me." She whimpered desperately when he pulled down the front of her dress, exposing her white lacy bra to his hungry eyes.
He peppered kisses along her cleavage while his hands traveled under her dress, his index finger reading the slit of her panties.
Caroline pressed his face against her chest. She was in blissful madness at the pleasure he was giving her just with his hand and mouth on her chest. It hadn't even been 24 hours and she was already itching from not having his touch.
As amazing as it felt, his touches and caresses were driving her crazy. She needed to kiss him, feel him.
Tugging on his hair pulling his head up, Caroline crashed her lips onto his desperately. Klaus groaned feeling her clothed center making contact with his covered and hardened cock. She allowed his tongue to slip into her mouth as she moaned appreciatively, still lightly tugging on his curls.
Klaus's fingers teased the hem of her panties that Caroline was begging for him to rip off. He was attempting to do just that until they heard keys clacking and Stefan walked in immediately covering his eyes with one hand.
"Really guys?" Stefan whined closing the door with his foot.
Klaus severely blushed while Caroline huffed in frustration climbing off of him.
"Someone should put a bell on you." Caroline murmured fixing her clothes.
"I could say the same about you." He fought back, placing his bag of food on the kitchen counter but still covering his eyes.
"It's safe to look now, mate." Klaus said buttoning up a lose button on his Henley.
Stefan hesitated, peeking through his fingers once more then dropping his hand completely from his face.
"I get you two are all in your honeymoon phase and that's great, really but please remember I live here too."
"Well technically you interrupted us." Caroline mentioned with a fake smile that Stefan reciprocated.
Klaus rolled his eyes at their bantering. "I see you bought food." He said quickly to change the subject.
"Yup, figured we needed some groceries so we don't starve to death. Klaus you mind getting the last couple of bags from downstairs while I put these away?" Stefan asked while placing the milk in the fridge.
Klaus nodded in response brushing his hand over Caroline's lower back as he exited the room.
Caroline awkwardly gazed around the room, attempting to preoccupy herself until Klaus's return. Being left alone with Stefan was...weird?
He turned around crossing his arms facing her. She didn't know how to react but he looked like he wanted to say something to her.
"While we have a little time alone I think we should talk, friend to girlfriend." Stefan gestured.
Caroline arched one brow confusingly. "Okay...talk about what?"
"You and Klaus." He stated, lifting his finger to halt whatever she was ready to interject with.
"Are you serious about him, about your relationship?"
She looked puzzled.
He sighed, nervously pressing his lips together in a straight line. "I didn't know anything about you until now Caroline so I was completely oblivious that Klaus was suffering from a broken heart. I just thought he was in one of his moods but he was off and unhappy and buried himself in work and now I know why. In the short time that I've seen you two together and the way he talks about you, I know he loves you..."
"Do you not believe that I love him?" Caroline asked defensively.
Stefan shrugged. "You tell me. Six months ago you claimed to have loved him yet you said you didn't want to be with him. Look, I'm not going to act like I know every detail about your relationship or your history together so I'm not judging you. I just don't don't want to see my best friend getting hurt again."
Caroline relaxed her tense body and dropped her arms from over her chest. It was oddly comforting to her how much Stefan cared about Klaus and that he was so expressive about it. As much as she wanted to ring his neck for jumping to conclusions about her personal feelings, she couldn't fault him for being a concerned friend.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear taking a step more into the kitchen area. "I'm glad that Klaus has a friend like you, Stefan and I completely understand your concern and possible distaste towards me,"
"Car-"
"It's okay." She stopped him. "Neither of us made the best first impression on each other and what you just said about Klaus really put my concern about you to bed. But I hope you can do the same with me and believe that I do genuinely love him. At first I was scared of how Klaus made me feel, loved and wanted because no one has ever made me feel like that and that's why I pushed him away. It was new, scary and I know I didn't handle it well and I regret that but now I have a second chance, we both do."
Stefan remained intrigued.
"You don't have to like me, hell you can hate me but for Klaus's sake...I think we should at least tolerate each other. I'm very serious about him whether you believe me or not. My age has nothing to do with how I feel and I'm not going anywhere but I also would never make him choose between us. So I'm willing to be civil if you are, for Klaus of course." Caroline concluded with a small smirk.
The corners of Stefan's lips turned up slightly, trying to fight back a grin, trying not to reveal his relief. Caroline's reassurance of her feelings for Klaus did relieve him. From experience, he's never liked the girls Klaus was involved with but Caroline was different in many ways, sassy as hell but different. She truly loved and cared about Klaus as he did her and that was something Stefan knew he would have to accept. Maybe the teenage girl wasn't as bad as he set her out to be, maybe he shouldn't have made assumptions based on just one meeting.
"Of course." He sighed his response. "For Klaus's sake." He added with a wink making Caroline playfully roll her eyes.
"Bloody hell, mate I almost couldn't carry that second bag." Klaus announced walking back into the loft with two grocery bags in his arms.
He quirked a brow at the pleasant sight of his best friend and girlfriend surprisingly not at each other's throats.
"Everything alright?" Klaus asked.
Caroline happily took one bag out of his arms to assist him.
"Everything's fine, right Stefan?" She lifted an amused brow at the dirty blonde haired man while placing the bag on the countertop.
Stefan lightly chuckled under his breath. "Right."
Klaus observed both of them cautiously but amusingly. "Are you both secretly plotting to get rid of me?" He joked.
Caroline giggled prancing over to him, impulsively leaving a small kiss on his lips.
Stefan nervously cleared his throat. "Umm, I'll just be in my room."
The couple watched as he left before Klaus turned all his attention back on the beautiful blonde in his arms.
"What was that for?" Klaus asked, referencing to the sweet but unexpected kiss.
"I'm just happy. I'm happy with you." Caroline answered shyly.
Klaus rewarded her with a smile, tucking her hair back before bringing her in for a romantic kiss that Caroline melted into instantly with a smile.
It was 2 in the morning and Caroline couldn't sleep.
She had a lot on her mind, she had Klaus on her mind to be exact.
Caroline lied on her back restlessly in the bed she was sharing with her British lover who was sleeping soundlessly on his side. She loved watching him sleep, she loved him and it was a stab to the heart each time she remembered that she was going back home to Whitmore today.
That she was leaving him.
They spent the remainder of the night together, well with Stefan too for awhile. Klaus cooked dinner for everyone while Caroline chose a movie to. Her and Stefan fought on whether to watch The Avengers or Pretty In Pink, a battle she won by default since it was her last night.
After the dinner and movie, Caroline offered to clean the dishes but Stefan insisted he'd take care of it. She was glad her and Stefan were putting in an effort to be cordial with each other and as the night went on they actually kinda liked each other, kinda.
All three spent the rest of the night just talking about practically anything. Though seeing Klaus interact with his friend was an oddly pleasing view, she wanted some alone time with him. It was her last night here and she really didn't want to share him with anyone, not to mention how incredibly horny she currently was. But she also wasn't going to cut Stefan off.
Before they knew it, it was 12:30 and they were all pretty tired excluding Caroline. She was too anxious and wound up, the last thing on her mind was sleep but she followed Klaus to his bedroom anyway.
That brings her to her current state of uncomfortableness.
Would it be selfish to wake him? He just fell asleep an hour ago, can't be too bad and besides he sill owed her from earlier. She just wanted to be close to him and forget all the rest at least for the rest of the night.
Without another thought, Caroline turned to her side leaning over him.
"Klaus." She whispered.
She smiled at how adorable he looked sleeping all curled up on his side of the bed.
"Klaus." This time it was more of a quiet whine.
He slightly moved in his sleep but not much.
Caroline huffed in frustration, how was he even this stubborn asleep?
She lightly nibbled on his earlobe and left small kisses up and down his exposed neck, smirking against his skin as he began softly moaning and squirming. Her ministrations continued and she scraped her teeth lightly on his neck and licking the spot with her wet tongue.
Klaus moaned again turning over to face her. He was now awake but a little frustrated but also turned on.
"Caroline?" He asked sleepily.
"Were you asleep?"
Her question made him quietly laugh. "I was." He lazily grinned completely facing her now on the bed, tracing patterns on her bare leg with his finger delicately. "What's on your mind, sweetheart?"
She anxiously bit her bottom lip. "You."
Klaus raised a brow in confusion. "What about?"
She looked up at him intensely. Klaus looked so confused and concerned it made Caroline want to laugh because if only he knew what her real issue was.
Biting her lip again, Caroline rolled over on his side so she was now hovering over his body. Klaus's hands automatically landed on her hips and Caroline didn't waste time talking before pressing her lips against his intimately.
Klaus was shocked by her actions but it didn't take long for him to begin moving with her.
Caroline's hands cradled Klaus's face, slightly weaving her fingers through his hair as she continued kissing him. She began slowly rocking her hips into his, trying to seek out any kind of friction. They were both fully clothed but Caroline moaned at the feel of Klaus's evidently hard cock pressing into her clothed center. God she wanted him, if only he knew how incredibly wet she was for him underneath her pajama shorts.
"Make love to me." Caroline whispered against his lips before kissing them again.
Klaus hesitantly pulled back at her request which made Caroline freeze in embarrassment.
She sat up still straddling his lap, blushing profusely. "Oh, sorry, I didn't think you'd mind..."
He scrunched his eyebrows pulling her close to him again. "Why would I ever mind? Don't take my silence as a rejection but more as shocked; you still manage to surprise me everyday."
Caroline smiled wrapping her arms around his neck. "So..."
"As much as I want you and believe me I do..."
"Then what's the problem?"
"Well my best mate for starters who isn't exactly the deepest sleeper, living in the room right next to mine with pretty thin walls." He pointed out.
She ignored him, kissing and sucking a particularly sensitive spot on his neck that made Klaus groan in pleasure. His grip on her hips tightened as she began rocking her hips into his again. She felt this good just with clothes on.
"Caroline..." He strained.
She retreated, staring down at him with lustful eyes. "We can be quiet besides it's my last night and I want you."
Klaus's eyes shifted from her eyes to mouth. He didn't want to deprive either of them of what they both needed. He trapped her lips with his aggressively. They frantically kissed still rubbing against each other causing them both to moan. Klaus's tongue already found home in Caroline's mouth deepening the already passionate exchange.
Caroline smiled into each kiss, not being a to shed or hide her happiness not even from herself.
Klaus's hands rose up underneath his t shirt she was wearing; he loved when she wore his clothes. He kneaded her bare breasts underneath the shirt delicately in his palms.
"Klaus..." She moaned at his callused hands loving her.
"Shh." He reminded before discarding the item of clothing from her body fully.
Caroline grabbed his hands as he continued fondling her breasts, moving her hands along with them. He didn't think such an act would have him aching with need for her even more but her desperation for some type of release was arousing.
Klaus kissed along the valley of her chest then up her neck till he reached her mouth.
Caroline was a moaning mess already and he was only touching her chest.
He kissed her deeply, sliding his hands down to her hips as he switched their positions. Rolling on top so she was now laying underneath his body and their lips still never departing.
Caroline had her arms around his neck while Klaus gracefully reached down to the hem of her shorts. She lifted her hips so he could take them off easier and he took her panties with them.
"You're more eager than I am." She smirked against his lips.
Klaus instantly sunk two fingers into her dripping cunt making Caroline loudly moan but Klaus silenced her with his mouth.
"Shh." He reminded her again with another kiss.
Caroline nodded kissing him harder trying to keep her noises of appreciation to a minimum. She bucked her hips up, reaching for some kind of release as she rode his hand. Her arms around his neck keeping him close as his lips maneuvered down to her neck, sucking and licking over the same spot.
"You're so wet...so sexy." He murmured lowly into her ear.
Her eyes fluttered shut, harshly biting her lip to suppress any possible moan from escaping her lips from his words.
As amazing as this felt she didn't want his hand to get her off, she needed him inside of her to feel his warmth mesh with her's.
Caroline dropped her arms from around him, sneaking her hands down to grab his wrist stopping any further movements.
Klaus looked confused but his eyes fogged with lust the moment enveloped one of his fingers in her mouth. His cock twitched as they continued making eye contact while she sucked her juices off his finger.
She moaned at the taste of herself.
"Do you like watching me, Klaus? Watching me taste myself?" She whispered innocently.
Klaus tried keeping his moans low but Caroline was truly being the little minx right now. He kissed her hard and passionately, lowly groaning as one of Caroline's palms began rubbing over his clothed aching cock. Klaus submitted to the pleasurable feel, bucking into her hand leaning his forehead on her shoulder.
"Fuck, Caroline." He groaned.
"Shh. We have to be quiet remember?" She seductively whispered, tugging on his earlobe playfully with her teeth making Klaus shudder.
She was completely bare underneath him while Klaus was still wearing his pajama pants. Stopping her actions, against Klaus's disapproval, Caroline teased the hem of his pants with her fingers slowly dragging them down over his hips.
Klaus kicked them off hurriedly making Caroline giggle. He smiled down at her lovingly, tracing her face shape with his fingers and brushed her bottom lip with his thumb. The intensity brewing between them from just a stare was overwhelming.
Caroline tipped her head up, kissing him sweetly as her small hand wrapped around and pumped his length.
Klaus moaned against her mouth as their kisses became more fiery as she proceeded to wounding him up.
"I need you." She declared in between heavy kisses, leading his cock to her awaiting centre and tightening her legs around his waist.
They continued kissing even as Klaus entered her smoothly, them gasping into each other's mouths at the intrusion.
Detaching from her mouth, Klaus stared down at Caroline with passion and love in his eyes, never looking away when he pulled out almost fully then plunging back into her heat.
He started off slow and deep, determined to draw out every whimper and moan from her lips.
"Fuck..." Caroline lowly gasped out, signaling to Klaus that he found her g-spot which made him repeat the the action.
Caroline continued withering underneath him as he hit the spot over and over again with each deep thrust. He pecked her lips, down to her cheek and jaw then peppering kisses along her neck. His hands rested on both sides of her head to keep himself up to not crush her, letting his mouth do the worshipping his hands weren't.
She loved this, being with him like this. Trusting him enough to let him be this close and touch her body. No one has ever made passionate love to her before, worshipped her body like art or never tired of touching her until Klaus. Without even saying anything he made her feel beautiful and wanted.
"Harder, Klaus." Caroline demanded breathlessly, kissing and sucking the flesh of his neck.
Klaus loved hearing her say his name, it was the sexiest sound he's ever heard and made him want to just devour her.
He obliged, quickening his pace with every thrust and eyes rolling back at the sensation of being inside of her.
"You're so tight, Caroline...god you feel amazing." Klaus muttered burying his face in the crook of her neck to muffle his noises.
Caroline just moaned in response, if only he knew how delicious he felt buried deep inside of her.
"Oh...Klaus." Her voice a tad high, raking her fingernails down his bare back making him lowly growl in want.
Klaus didn't even have it in him to care about Stefan hearing their cries of passion, nothing else mattered besides the blonde goddess underneath him.
Klaus leaned forward, kissing her lustfully as their hips rocked into each other's. He could feel her coming to her end, if her lavish kisses weren't an indicator.
"Yes...I'm so close." Caroline cried.
Needing her to find her release soon, he enthusiastically slammed into her repeatedly. Caroline's body shook in pleasure as she came completely undone after a few harsh thrusts.
They kissed hotly as Klaus also rode out his own release still pumping into her and letting go.
He pulled away leaning his damp forehead against hers with staggered breathing. Caroline lazily smiled up at him which he returned.
Klaus captured her lips into a sweet kiss, one of his hands cradling a side of her face and caressing her cheek delicately. Caroline sighed appreciatively slightly deepening the kiss.
The intimacy of each time they made love was still new to them both but it felt right and neither wanted it to stop. It was moments like these that reminded them how much trust they had in each other, to be this vulnerable with. This was something they were going to miss the most.
Caroline was the one to pull away this time. "Do you think he heard us?" She whispered amusingly.
Klaus laughed. "I think he will never confirm or deny that."
Caroline softly giggled, cradling his face in both her hands and Klaus quickly relaxed into it. She seemed like she had a lot to say which she did but this wasn't the time. What they just finished doing was indescribably amazing and she didn't want to ruin the moment for either of them. So all that came out was...
"I love you Klaus Mikaelson." She said softly.
Klaus gulped, still taken aback to hear her say those three powerful words to him but it sounded so bittersweet. It sounded almost like a goodbye.
He replied to her declaration with a passionate kiss, to insure her that when she gets on that plane it won't be a goodbye. They will see each other again but she needed to believe that just as much as he did if this was going to work.
Caroline smiled against his lips, kissing his cheek and neck, nuzzling it with her nose taking in his scent as she played with the curls on the back of his neck.
They stayed like that for the rest of the night, wrapped warmly into each other as Klaus repeated his love softly in her ear until they both eventually drifted back to sleep.
"You're sure you didn't forget anything?" Klaus asked stepping out of the taxi, going on the other side to open the door for Caroline.
"Besides the red thong I left in your sock drawer, nope." She smiled mischievously closing the car door.
Klaus slightly blushed grabbing her bags out of the trunk making Caroline giggle under her breath. She insisted on carrying her luggage but Klaus refused.
They made small conversation as they walked through JFK airport. Klaus standing idly by as Caroline raided the gift shops, buying souvenirs for her small town friends and mom. He couldn't hold back his smile at how adorable she looked as a tourist.
After buying the gifts they walked slowly to the check in lines, stopping right before entering through.
"So...this is it." Caroline sighed.
Klaus sighed too. "Yeah..."
Biting her lip hard and quickly turning to face him, Caroline took a deep breath. "Okay if I say something really negative and dumb you won't hate me right?"
Klaus smirked. "I could never hate you, Caroline but I'm also not the biggest fan of your pessimism."
Caroline faintly grinned taking another deep breath. "I'm just...what if this doesn't work out, us? What if we're fooling ourselves into thinking our relationship is plausible when everything is saying it's not?"
Klaus lowered his brows unamused.
"We're going to be away from each other again and long distance relationships don't exactly have the best track record. I know I'm rambling and sounding ridiculous but I can't act like I'm not thinking these thoughts. That I'm completely 100% confident that we can make it because even the best don't always make it and..."
She drifted off with a low sob.
Klaus cradled her face in his hands so they were meeting eye to eye. Her glossy blue orbs made his chest tense but she relaxed into his touch as he rubbed over her cheek with his thumb softly.
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes." She answered without a thought.
Klaus smiled. "Then trust when I say we will make it."
"You don't know that." Caroline commented softly looking down.
"Hey." He lifted her chin up with his finger. "What's really going on, Caroline?"
She sniffled. "I just don't want to get use to saying goodbye to you, in the short time we've been together I've said it too many times. You make me happy but we're always apart and eventually it's just not going to be enough anymore."
Klaus sighed. "I understand your concern, I've second guessed a lot and thought a lot about us and shared your fears until yesterday. Yesterday any doubt I ever had about our relationship went out the window the moment you agreed to having a life with me."
"Klaus..."
"Do you still mean it? What you said to me in Central Park yesterday about a future and forever do you still mean it?" He shakily asked.
Of course she did.
The future use to scare her because she never knew where she was going but now she did, and it was a bright one with Klaus by her side.
"Every word." She replied.
A small grin was painted on Klaus's face as he pulled her in for a tight hug.
Their arms wrapped around each other tight in the middle of the airport, not caring who saw or was walking by. Being together in this moment was all that mattered.
Klaus inhaled her scent, his face nuzzled in her hair as his hand rubbed up and down her back soothingly.
Caroline held onto him tight, threading her fingers through his hair and tears beginning to spill. She didn't want to ever let him go again, to get back to that dark place in their relationship but they agreed that wasn't going to happen again.
She was afraid of getting her heart broken again, it seemed every time they were in a good place something fucked it up. But she did trust him and them, this was going to be different.
With everything now out in the open, no secrets or innuendos as obstacles, they were going to be together in the end.
A beeping sound from the metal detectors broke their moment, for they remembered they were in the middle of a busy airport.
Caroline kissed him on the cheek. "I love you." Her warm breath hitting his skin.
Klaus leaned back, observing her angelic face briefly before kissing her deeply. His tongue licked her bottom lip begging for entrance that she granted. The kiss was intense and passionate, off this was going to be the last they saw of each other for awhile, he wanted to leave something for her to remember him by. He poured all his love and emotions into this one kiss and the way she pressed herself against him proved she felt it too.
"I love you too." He whispered against her lips, kissing them one last time then leaving a lingering kiss on her forehead.
Caroline smiled wide picking up her luggage and bags from the ground.
"So this is goodbye?"
"It's a see you later." He grinned.
She grinned back pecking him on the lips quickly before walking away towards her gate. She looked back at him once more as he waved her off.
Klaus swallowed his emotions as he watched her go through the metal detectors and putting her bags through check in.
He was already missing her, one weekend wasn't enough not being with her will never be enough but he was willing to wait. Love is selfless and he wants her to get everything she wants out of life before making a decision on settling down with him. Klaus trusted that she wouldn't change her mind about them and they would stay in touch no matter how far away they were. And if she did, he would be hurt but would have to respect her choice.
After everything they've been through, he could never stop loving her and it was going to be a long while before they could actually be together but it was worth it.
Caroline was worth it.
Whooah! Okay so we have reached the end of the road of The Student *cries* such a bittersweet moment right now. There will be an epilogue after this chapter so you have that to look forward to then it's the end. I've enjoyed writing this story so much and can't believe it was inspired by my smutty imagination and a tweet haha. From beginning to end it has been an adventure of tons of emotions and I'm glad you all were experiencing it with me. You have been the best readers and I hope my future stories intrigue you just as much. This story went into so much more depth than I thought I was going to do but it turned out perfect and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
I'm emotional now but give me your thoughts/reviews on this chapter and what you predict will occur in the epilogue!
What did you think of Stefan and how he handled the history of Klaus and Caroline's relationship? What about him and Caroline's conversation? The talk about Klaus and Caroline's future together?
I love your reviews and love you, thank you!
