Time for another update, my lovelies! I was just inspired by reading the latest update from sweetandlow1012. Okay, here's an AU where everything is Klaroline and nothing hurts. Thank you for the reviews! You guys are amazing!

I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'

I'd never lived...
Before your love

It was raining, the kind of weather that would make anyone miserable and want to curl up with a hot cup of tea. That's exactly how Caroline was feeling today, like the whole world was dreary and it was making her feel like crap. The last time she had felt down on a rainy day was the day her parents divorced, and the combination of both the weather outside and the storm that was brewing between Liz and Bill was enough to only make a person feel down, but it also made a person feel like nothing could go right.

Deciding not to stay home and let the weather bring her down, Caroline threw on her rain coat and walked out of the house, armed with her umbrella. As soon as she stepped outside, it didn't feel quite as bad as it did when she was just sitting around and looking out the window at the drenched world. The wind was also a bit strong, even though Caroline did her best to keep her umbrella from flying out of her hand. Finally, there came a strong enough gust that tore it out of her hand, making the blonde vampire chase after it. Even though she had speed, the wind was proving to be quite a formidable opponent.

She chased the damn thing for over half a block until it finally came to rest in a tree, getting caught in the branches. When Caroline saw this, she was pissed and top it all off, the rain was falling on her, getting her hair wet, not to mention her rain coat.

"Shit!" she growled. "How the hell am I going to get it out of there?"

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance, love."

That familiar British voice made Caroline look over and saw a shiny silver Porsche, the driver of which was none other than... "Klaus? What are you doing here?" She scowled. "You seriously have to stop following me."

"If I didn't follow you, how would I know when you were in need of me?" he replied. "I saw you chasing your umbrella and I thought I could help you. I can sense the frustration coming off you as you see it dangling in the tree."

"You're damn straight I'm frustrated," said Caroline. "Here I thought I'd lift my spirits by going out for a walk in the rain and then Mother Nature, the evil bitch that she is, decides to act like a schoolyard bully and take my umbrella from me." She heard him laughing. "Damn it, Klaus, it's not funny, so stop laughing at me!"

"I wasn't laughing at you, love," said Klaus, calming himself down. "I was laughing at the way you were speaking about Mother Nature." He then parked the car, opened the door, and got out. "Here, let me help you get your umbrella out of the tree."

"Klaus, please, I..."

"I insist on it, love," he replied. "Now, get in the car and I'll retrieve the umbrella."

Caroline wanted to protest further, but found that it would be impossible, considering that Klaus was insisting on helping her. Sighing, she got into the Porsche, closing the door behind her and watching as Klaus went over to the tree that was holding her umbrella hostage. She didn't know why, but something told her that letting Klaus help her out like this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Obviously, the phrase "Chivalry is dead" was something he never heard of, or if he did, he'd think it was a stupid phrase that human women say to air out their frustrations about some man.

She kept watching him for over an hour, amazed that he wasn't giving up for anything. She'd say this for Klaus, he never let anything deter him from his quest. When he finally returned to the car, she saw him toss her umbrella into the back and climbed into the driver side, closing the door and giving her a smirk of victory, not giving a shit that he had gotten soaked.

"You got it?"

"I certainly did, love," he replied. "Granted, it got damaged in the process, but it was retrieved." Getting an idea, he added before Caroline could speak, "How about we get you a new one?"

"You'd actually buy me a new umbrella?" said Caroline. "Klaus, I really don't know what to say to that. I mean, I appreciate the gesture, but..."

"Did anyone ever tell you how adorable you are when you ramble?"

Caroline was completely caught off guard by what Klaus just said. "What?"

"I asked if anyone ever told you how adorable you were when you ramble."

"No," she replied. "Normally, whenever I ramble, I'd get shushed."

"Well then, consider me the first not to shush you," said Klaus. "I like it when you ramble, Caroline."

"Seriously?" said Caroline. "You like it when I ramble? You're not just saying that?"

"Seriously," said Klaus. "I don't find it irritating at all. In fact, your voice is very pleasant. I can probably listen to you talk for hours and not tire of it." He smiled. "Though, I think you think the same about me."

Caroline licked her lips. "Well, yeah, your accent is very addictive. Hell, it's more addictive than chocolate, and I love chocolate."

Klaus chuckled then and leaned in, kissing her softly and not giving a shit if he was soaking wet from the rain. He loved the little blonde vampire sitting next to him at that moment. Caroline smiled against his lips and returned his kiss, bringing her hand up to touch his damp cheek. Everything seemed to melt away and it was just the two of them.
