Merry Christmas, nfinneman!
Since you didn't really have any specific requests, I went and made this manip for you, hope it's alright :)
Merry Christmas, howlingforklaroline!
First of all, when I started following you I didn’t think that I would get a follow back OR that you’d quickly become one of my tumblr crushes! I’m so glad I have started following you and I hope that you enjoy these fics!
This first one is a drabble I wrote before the beginning of the second half of season 4. Basically the plot is the scooby gang (or parts of it) get locked in the school with a few originals and this is what I thought would happen.
Rebekah had been undaggered and was looking for blood, she even called in reinforcements in the form of her brother Kol. The siblings had locked her group of friends inside the school and were tormenting them all in a special way. At first they were all together, Caroline, Stefan, Elena, Bonnie and Tyler all tied to a chair in Alaric’s old classroom Kol and Rebekah standing at the front almost baiting them to ask questions instead of telling them what was going on.
“well are you going to tell us why we are here?” Bonnie asked icily
Kol chuckled “I was hoping you’d be the first darling, I have a present for you,” he walked closer to her producing a necklace and placed it around her neck “ this was given to me by an old friend before Nik shoved a dagger through me… do you know what it does?”
“no but i’m sure you are going to tell me”
“right you are little witch, this blocks all the magic that you could use to protect your little friends” He explained “so now you get to sit here and simply watch and listen”
“Twisted Kol” Rebekah praised stepping to take her turn “ now since all of this is for you to learn not to cross me I’ve decided to take a page from big brother’s book of betrayal”
Rebekah then stepped to Caroline and began to compel her “you will do nothing to protect Elena, in fact you won’t even notice her in the room” she then repeated the process with Stefan and Tyler.
“what are you going to do to me?” Elena asked as Rebekah grabbed her chair and pulled it so she was facing her friends
“I told you, Nik taught me this trick…. even used it on a relative of yours” The older blonde handed her a knife and compelled her “ I want you to take this knife and stab yourself in the thigh with it repeatedly, when you get bored switch legs”
As soon as Rebekah finished Elena did as she was told, letting out a cry as she did, pulling it out and resumed with the command.
“Now for you three,” Rebekah walked to the last remaining people in the room “ most of this was for fun, but you two “ she said pointing to Stefan and Caroline “ are revenge. Hurting you hurts Nik and at the moment there is nothing we want more”
Kol walked to Tyler and dilated his eyes “I want you to use your lovely hybrid power and turn, then I want you to chase them down and don’t stop until both have a bite from you”
He backed up and watched as the painful process began. Rebekah looked to the other two untied them and used the last of her compulsion for her plan, all she said to them was “ you must stay on school grounds… run”
Caroline and Stefan did just that, they ran to one corner only to hear Tyler’s growl following them everywhere they went. Soon he had caught up with them, attacking Stefan first but Caroline being selfless as she was jumped in front of him just in time to feel her boyfriend’s sharp teeth slice into her forearm straight down to the bone. She screamed in pain then yelled at Stefan to run while Tyler was still distracted as soon as he disappeared the blonde broke the wolf’s neck and went to find a hiding place herself. Caroline ran into the science room hoping the chemicals would block her scent from Tyler and leaned on a counter opposite the door and slid down hugging her knees to her chest. The vampire knew she wouldn’t last long with the bite, between running for the past hour and not having fed since this morning the delusions would start soon. Her fever was already breaking through and all she could do was hope for help or the end to come soon.
Klaus ran through the halls looking for Caroline, after he had walked into the school looking for his sister, noticing Bonnie tied up the hybrid realized what had happened. So through a little bargaining from Kol and the bribe of a shopping trip for Rebekah he had earned their forgiveness and help cleaning up the mess they had made. Kol had released Elena and Bonnie and sped away before Rebekah could answer the question of what had happened to Caroline. After pinning Tyler down long enough for him to change back and hatefully tell Klaus that the girl had gotten bitten again. He began to speed up knowing with a baby vampire and a werewolf bite time was of the essence, all of a sudden he heard her whimpers coming from a room nearby. He rushed through the door and saw her a crumpled mess and still more beautiful than any woman he had known. Once his eyes caught hers he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for the christmas incident with the hateful glare she was giving him. He didn’t regret what happened, simply that she was reminded of the destructful man he was and ruining any progress he had made before.
“ Are you hurt love?” he asked
Caroline looked away from him knowing for some reason lying wasn’t an option and pulled her sleeve further up her wrist to hide the bite mark from him. She didn’t want to die, the blonde just didn’t want to ask him for help once again but she wasn’t as stealthy as she had hoped. Klaus walked forward grabbing her hand and pushing back the clothing seeing a rather nasty bite mark already red and growing worse. He growled and made a mental note to have a talk with rebekah about reconsidering the shopping trip he had promised. Klaus knew there was no option for him, he didn’t need anything from Caroline except for her to simply be. A world without her light, and her life just didn’t seem right to him.
The original hybrid bit into his own wrist, crouched down to her level and baited her with his blood, at first she stared into his eyes refusing to take what he was offering. Klaus being just as stubborn if not more so looked back his blue orbs never leaving hers. Soon the smell became too much for her, Caroline grabbed his arm lightly closing her eyes and drank the revitalizing liquid. She had forgotten how good his blood was from last time and moaned in approval at the taste.
Klaus eyes will closed and head dropped back in euphoria at the feeling of her drinking from him, and he reached forward and placed his hand on the back of her head and said “That’s it, Sweetheart.”
Then as if realizing what had happened she pushed his hand away from her mouth like it was on fire, then remembered he didn’t have to give her blood. Klaus had done it because he wanted to, nothing to gain or earn, he chose her.
“th- thank you…”
******
Okay so next one, cause who doesn’t love two gifts for the price of one is my behind the scenes of the season 4 season finale. It is after the kiss on the cheek and what not, hope you enjoy!
Klaus walked Caroline slowly back to her mother’s house listening as the beauty on his arm talked of plans for college and where she would go. He knew leaving New Orleans in the middle of planning a war was a bad idea but the hybrid could scarcely refuse her before so what was the use of denying her request to see him again. As they approached her front door he lead her up the steps and asked the question that had been on his mind since he first left Mystic Falls.
“And will you ever take my offer? Maybe come visit me in New Orleans?” he asked
Caroline shook her head in amusement, she should be angry after all she was still dating Tyler even though they hadn’t had any contact since prom. The blonde vampire knew that Klaus might not ever give up, and when you live for eternity that is a long time. She couldn’t help but want to forget everything he had done when he showed his humanity like this. But she couldn’t, his past was still there and so was Tyler, especially now that he had been released from Klaus’ hit list.
“I can’t, not now, I’m not ready and I don’t think you are either.” Caroline explained.
Klaus sighed knowing this would be his last time to see her for awhile so he had to give it a shot, he stepped forward even closer than before and grabbed the back of her neck placing his forehead against her’s. As he spoke he began to whisper, even though no one would hear him, she needed to know that these words were only for the two of them.
“All of the things I have said to you will always be true, I will wait an eternity for you to show up at my door and I will do everything in my power to make you mine and only mine for the rest of our long long lives. I promise.”
As he spoke Caroline’s wish came true, for this moment she could forget everything in their past and future. This was them, here and now. So with a slight upturn of her head she brought her lips to his to show what his words meant to her. No one had ever spoken so passionately to her about a future together, eternity scared her and she knew that if she did decided to be with Klaus she would always be protected and loved. So now she needed to share how she felt, and that one day possibly if Tyler wasn’t her forever that she would go to him and discover their own eternity.
Once Klaus realized that yes this beautiful woman was actually kissing him, he responded in full force. The hybrid grabbed her by the waist and pulled her body in close taking control of the kiss, enjoying the beautiful moans that came from her everytime he would try something new to her sinful lips. A nibble on the bottom lip or a lingering touch altogether, he soon realized he had pushed her onto her childhood home’s door. If this was the last time for a long time that he would see her Klaus wanted to make the most of it, he took his hands and slid them over her rear and onto the back of her thighs lifting so she could wrap her long legs around his waist.
As soon as Caroline was lifted she snapped out of her trance, she was kissing Klaus, he had murdered her boyfriends mom among so many other people. Her boyfriend! She had cheated, on tyler, with his greatest enemy. The guilt slowly built up inside of her and she could feel it settling in her belly effectively killing the other feelings that had been growing there.
“Stop, Klaus please. I need you to put me down.” She spoke in a whisper, feeling more guilty that she didn’t even really want him to stop.
The hybrid did as the lady asked, putting her down and taking a step away, knowing close proximity would break any intentions of not touching her again. “What is it love” he asked watching her hands cover her face.
Caroline was silent for a minute, as she began to cry feeling like she had betrayed the people around her for feeling for the “big bad”. “I still love Tyler, I can’t do this. I know I have already said this once but I really can’t. I’ve just cheated on him and I won’t do anymore behind his back I’m sorry. I don’t love you”
Klaus took it all in smiling, “You are right, you don’t love me today but after this” he said waving in between them “I know that there is a good chance that some day you just might. I won’t ask you again to leave with me and I sort of lied before when I said I didn’t have a ticket for you to New Orleans.” he reached into his suit pocket and grabbed an envelope. “I had a friend do some digging, turns out that your spring break just happens to coincide with Mardi Gras, this is a two way ticket for that week.” He handed her the envelope in her left hand, then took her right and placed a kiss on the knuckles. “I think with the stress of college you could use a party by then don’t you?” Klaus smiled and walked away from her porch leaving the choice in her hands. “I hope to see you in a few months love, but for now, study hard and don’t forget me”
Caroline watched him walk away until she couldn’t see him anymore, once he was gone she walked inside and leaned on the door she had just been pressed upon. “Like I could ever forget you”
Merry Christmas, redsnaps!
I just really, really, hope that you’ll enjoy this! You told me that you would have liked something funny and I tried my best to make this as funny and original and refreshing (and also Christmas-y) as possible. I genuinely hope that you’re having some great holidays, and I wish you the best for this Christmas and in general for your life! Klaroliners stick together, always and forever. A hug. ♥

“Are you sure this is going to work?” Rebekah asks, eyeing her brother warily—nothing good ever came out of his so-called ‘plans’.
Kol rolls his eyes, flashing her one of his creepily perfect grins. “It will be fantastic, Bekah. Don’t worry.”
“Mmh, yeah. Something always goes wrong when you say that.”
*****
“Why are we here, again?” Caroline asks, bitchy attitude on in full mode. She folds her arms across her chest and stares pointedly at Stefan, a perfectly plucked eyebrow arched at him.
The Salvatore sighs for what feels like the millionth time that day, looking down at his best friend.
“You told me you would make an effort.”
“Yes, but like, at the Grill. You know, where I can play darts pretending I’m throwing them at her slutty face.”
“Care.”
The blonde sighs, closing her eyes for a moment. “You’re right, sorry. It’s just–it’s not easy.”
“I know, believe me. And I’m immensely grateful that you’re trying, but–”
“Try harder?” Caroline laughs, finishing his sentence for him.
A small smile appears on Stefan’s lips. “Rebekah has her moments, and she can be nice, too.
It was already hard enough for her to invite you here herself.”
“I know,” Caroline concedes after a moment. “After all, she can’t be all bad if she has you wrapped around her finger,” she teases her friend with a knowing smile, prompting him to roll his eyes.
“Blondes are experts at that,” he teases back, obviously hinting at her relationship with another Mikaelson.
Caroline glares at him. “Don’t.”
With a small chuckle, Stefan raises his hands up at his sides in a ‘I’m innocent’ manner. “I didn’t say anything.”
“Mh-mh,” she hums, thoroughly unconvinced. “Of course you didn’t.”
Just then, Rebekah finally arrives.
“Caroline! You came!”
She greets her a little too loudly and a little too excitedly, which immediately has the other blonde going into full-skeptical-mode—what has the Original planned for her?
“Uhm, yeah. Hi,” she regards her warily as Rebekah kisses Stefan on the cheek and then loops her arm around his.
“No need to be so tense,” Rebekah waves her off with an easy smile. “Nik is not even here, I want you to enjoy yourself.”
The knowledge that Klaus won’t be present actually makes her heart drop a little in her chest, but she quickly dismisses the feeling with a strained smile towards the happy-looking couple.
“I’ll try.”
There’s a long pause and the mood shifts awkwardly, so Rebekah quickly excuses herself to go check on some other guests, again leaving Caroline alone with Stefan.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to babysit me, Stef. Just go enjoy the party with you girlfriend, please,” she gives him her best puppy eyes look, which she knows he can never say ‘no’ to.
“I’ll manage, I promise. I’ll do some typical Caroline inner monologue and then come mingle with you two when I’m ready.”
Stefan looks at her for a long moment, but, eventually, he sighs. “Alright. But call me if you need me, for anything. And if it just gets too much and you want to leave, come to me first.”
“I promise, dad,” she agrees, rolling her eyes at his antics, but smiling nonetheless because she knows that he’s only acting that way because he cares and worries for her (and also because he has this insane idea that her and Rebekah are somehow made to best friends forever).
“I’m serious,” he replies, sternly.
“I am, too,” she laughs at his skeptically raised eyebrows. “Really, I am. You spend some quality time with Rebekah, do your boyfriend job to make her at least slightly more agreeable while I look a bit around the house, and then I promise I’ll come so the two of us can talk about girly clothes, and ponies, and pink rainbows.”
Despite himself, Stefan can’t help but laugh with her, shaking his head.
“Alright. See you later, then?”
“Count on it.”
“Just be careful.”
Caroline rolls her eyes as she watches Stefan turn around and then walk through the mass of people having fun together in the Mikaelson mansion’s living room.
“Be careful”—really? Yes, it is the Mikaelsons that they are talking about, but this is a Christmas party, what could really go wrong, right?
But that’s one of those thoughts that you should never, ever, have, unless you indeeddo want for something to go wrong, and Caroline doesn’t even have the time to fully turn around before she collides into someone’s chest.
“Oh, hello there, darling.”
She groans, because— seriously ?
“Kol,” she greets him curtly, walking around him, but—if only, right? Because the youngest Original brother just simply casually follows behind her.
“Don’t be in such asour mood, sweet Caroline.”
“I’m not. I was just hoping that when Rebekah said Klaus wasn’t going to be here, she meant her other brothers wouldn’t as well.”
“Ouch,” Kol feigns to be hurt by her words, bringing a hand upon his heart. “And is that bitterness I hear in your tone? Maybe you were hoping to run into my good, old brother, after all.”
“Yeah, right,” she scoffs, but it doesn’t sound half as indifferent as she would have wanted it to.
“Well, maybe you could use another Klaus, instead,” he offers her cheekily.
Caroline stops walking and turns to him with a curious look. “What do you mean?”
With a smirk, Kol puts his hands on Caroline’s shoulders and turns her to their right.
“Is that–oh my God,” she laughs—genuinely laughs—for the first time in her whole day. “Did you seriously hire a Santa Clause?” she arches one of her eyebrows at Kol. “There hardly are any kids here.”
He shrugs. “It’s good for the atmosphere.”
“Right,” Caroline rolls her eyes, ready to try and escape him again.
“Wait,” he reaches for her elbow, effectively stopping her. “Don’t you want to try it?” he looks almost panicked.
“Try what?”
“Santa Clause.”
Caroline scrunches up her nose, confused. “What? No. Why would I?”
“For fun? You know what that is, right?” he taunts her, but only earns himself another scoff.
“Yes. And it’s not listing Santa Clause a list of Christmas wishes, unless you’re seven years old.”
It’s Kol’s turn to roll his eyes. “Oh, please, lighten up, baby!”
But Caroline just keeps staring at him with a rather unimpressed expression.
“At least have a drink with me? Come on! It’s going to be better than wandering around alone.”
Caroline thinks about it for a second, before eventually slumping her shoulders in defeat— what better does she have to do, anyway?
“Alright.”
*****
Around a dozen glasses of eggnog (strongly laced with a combination of rum, whiskey and vodka) later, Caroline is barely coherent.
Surprisingly enough, Kol provided a very pleasant company, but it had been too late when it finally became obvious that he was meaning for her to get drunk. Not that it really mattered now, she was too far gone to care or be angry about it.
“So,” he offers her a dangerous smirk. “Do you think you’re in the mood to pay our dear Santa Clause a little visit now?”
“Yesssssss!” she giggles, clapping her hands together excitedly.
Kol helps her up from her stool at the bar that they had set up inside their spacious living room, guiding her towards the old man with the white beard and the red clothes seated on a high armchair in a corner of the crowded room.
Nobody has been really paying him any attention for the whole party, and, in all honesty, it was meant to be that way. It was more the humiliation that Kol thrived in, added to the sneaky plan he had conjured up just a couple of days prior.
*****
Klaus scoffed. “That is not happening, Kol.”
“Oh, come on! We made a bet and you lost, pay up Nik.”
“Paying, I’d do gladly. But I am not dressing up as Santa Clause! Rebekah, love, this is your party, please tell him that he’s being ridiculous.”
“Actually, he’s not,” Rebekah answered after a moment, thinking about it. “If the roles had been reversed, the dagger threats would be flying in right about now.”
The hybrid shook his head—his siblings were being unbelievably childish.
“He would have had to stay on the bunnies diet for a week, not humiliate himself in front of the whole town. I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation,” he huffed, turning on his heels with the intention of leaving the room and the argument behind him—he was not going to do that, ever.
Kol groaned in annoyance, stomping his feet like a three-year-old who didn’t get his way (which he was, more or less).
“Actually,” Rebekah brought her hands to her hips, a dangerous smirk firmly in place on her full, red lips. “If you don’t do this, then I’m not going to tell Stefan to ask Caroline about that double date that you have been nagging me about for months.”
Klaus stopped dead in his tracks. He didn’t have to turn around towards his sister or ask her to know that she was indeed being serious. With a sigh, and already cursing himself, he finally spoke again.
“Where is that damn costume?”
*****
Klaus’ eyes widens as he notices his brother pushing a giggling and very drunk looking Caroline in his direction.
He has been observing the blonde beauty since she had first arrived with Stefan, and he had known Kol was up to something as soon as he saw him approaching her, something that he hadn’t done anything about because he really didn’t want anybody to realize who was under this stupid Santa Clause costume. It had been difficult, extremely difficult, but he didn’t even eavesdropped on their conversation, in order to not get any more ‘let’s dagger Kol and put him in his coffin again for a couple of millenniums’ urges, which he was already dealing with as it was, so he really had no idea what his brother had in mind.
“Hello, Santa Clause,” Kol snickers. “The lady here has some wishes she would like you to hear.”
“Kol,” he warns him threateningly low, his voice sharper than a knife and much more dangerous, his eyes flickering yellow in a second.
Unfazed, Kol gently pushes Caroline towards Klaus, and she awkwardly stumbles into his lap, giggling like crazy.
Klaus grinds his teeth in frustration, and before he can say anything else, Kol hurries away with a huge grin.
But Klaus’ attention suddenly focuses solely on Caroline as she snuggles more comfortably against him, sighing into his neck. In less than a millisecond, all of his blood rushes to his lower parts, and his jaw clenches.
He knows that, technically, all it would take was for him to stand up and carry her in another room where she could sober up a little, but the warmth and softness of her body against his is too damn tempting, and what is he if not a masochist, after all.
“What it is that you want for Christmas, sweetheart?” he asks through gritted teeth.
Caroline sighs again, nuzzling into his neck with her nose. “I don’t know.”
Fighting to keep his control, Klaus subconsciously wraps an arm around her. “Come on, there must be something.”
There’s a long, silent pause before Caroline answers again. “I just want to be happy, I guess. Free. There’s this person that I want to be with, but I can’t,” she sounds so sad and almost on the verge of tears that Klaus would smack himself in the head for even asking her if he wasn’t too preoccupied with what she had just said.
She’s involved with someone? How did he miss that?
He swallows, his dead heart clenching painfully in his chest. “Is there? And why can’t you?”
She shakes his head against him. “I’m not sure. I mean–sometimes I know, but some other times...” she trails off. “He’s not all bad, you know?” she says, raising her shining blue eyes into his. In all honesty, it wouldn’t be too hard to see that that’s Klaus, but Caroline is just too drunk and too caught up in her own thoughts.
He nods, slowly, racking his brain for all the male figures that are in her life at the moment— Stefan, Matt, Damon. The usuals. So, what, or better who, did he miss?
“You remind me of him a little, to be honest,” she suddenly perks up, wiggling in his lap and making him groan.
She brings her hands up to his face and teasingly pinches his cheeks.
“You even have dimples, too!” she exclaims excitedly, gently caressing his stubble.
“What?” Could it be–?
“And your name is Clause. So, basically, it’s like you’re the same person,” she giggles. “It’s only spelled differently,” she adds pensively, as an afterthought.
At this point, Klaus is not sure whether this is actually happening or not anymore, and he doesn’t care that she’s drunk now and will probably regret and deny everything that she’s telling him, he knows now that she returns his feelings (some of them, at least), and he’s going to confront her with that knowledge until she admits to it.
Caroline is now looking at him almost wistfully, biting down on her bottom lip with her cheeks red for the too much alcohol—she’s a vision, and he’s so painfully hard that he might just break down and cry at any given moment.
Suddenly, she’s leaning forward towards him, eyeing his lips, and it’s not like he ever has any common sense when he’s around her anyway, so he can’t help it when he gently caresses her nose with his and deeps in just a little– “What the hell!”
They both quickly fall back, bumping foreheads, and Klaus’ groan is twice as disheartened as he sees Stefan standing before them with a very angry look.
“I can’t believe you were in on this, Bex,” Stefan scolds his girlfriend again, taking Caroline away from Klaus and into his arms without sparing the hybrid as much as a second glance and walking away, Rebekah quickly trailing behind him with guilty eyes and several apologies on the tip of her tongue.
After a moment, with the umpteenth groan, Klaus lets his head fall against the back of his chair, releasing a frustrated sigh.
“Mommy!” he hears a little boy cry out. “Why does Santa have a toy in his pants?”
Merry Christmas, queenofklaroline!
Summary: (all humans) - Klaus was to take care of Caroline. Since when?
*****
THERE
PART I
Klaus had this memory he cherished of the first time he had done something for Caroline Forbes, his former school mate. She was so pretty with her cute dress and her beautiful hair in braids (he had heard her father made them for her). Even when she was only a five year old she already the loveliest.
He couldn’t help but to adore her even if he was seven, even if by then he didn’t understand what it was that made him want to take care of Caroline as much as he wanted to take care of his family. Even if he didn’t know what the world was made of.
Well... That day Caroline was playing with Hopper, the school’s rabbit, as usual.
It was knows by most of people that Caroline loved animals and gave Hopper special attentions, such as playing with the tiny animal, getting it food, water and as much of her time as she could. But there was something different; that day Elena Gilbert wasn’t by Caroline’s side. Klaus knew they were good friends, even if they always fought or even when Elena was trying to be the centre of attention.
Caroline was better in the company of Hopper the little rabbit than with Elena Gilbert. So, bad as it sounded, he was glad Caroline was a bit lonelier than usual.
It didn’t last long. Elena was walking towards Caroline soon after he had sat down to be more comfortable. And as expected Elena didn’t wait too long to start trying to annoy Caroline. Elena had wished to hold Hopper and as always Elena I’m a queen Gilbert (girl is not even close) does as she wants.
Then Elena is holding Hopper painfully by its neck hurting the tiny animal that has done nothing to deserve that torture. Hopper screams and said scream is followed by Caroline’s voice.
“ELENA STOP! You are hurting him!”
“Leave me alone, I’m was playing with Hopper first”
(No you weren’t) Klaus thinks of calling a teacher but if it was Miss Julie who came she would trust Elena before Caroline, with no doubt. Miss Julie had always favoured Elena and it was well known by most of people, including Elena herself.
Deciding against the idea Klaus staid where he was and kept paying attention (as the stalker he was not) to the girlfriends. Who weren’t acting as such. Caroline was now yelling at Elena because poor Hopper was letting out screams of pain that kept being ignored by Elena. And Elena was fighting Caroline and Hopper was suffering even more.
“Why do you care? It’s just a silly animal.”
“It’s not a silly animal!”
“It is” Elena answers. And Klaus fears something bad is coming. “So are you.
You are silly, my mother said so. She said blond and blue eyed girls are stupid. That’s why she is better than your mom.”
In a situation like this Klaus wouldn’t really care. Or if he was bored he might put sand into that person’s mouth but he would just ignore the comment. But he knew it was enough to bring Caroline to tears (and it did). So immediately after Elena’s brilliant performance he stepped in.
It was something he didn’t really wish for his mother to know, but he went and pushed Elena to the dirty ground. Quite hard actually.
Just as it sounds.
He was not like the mad people on TV that could go and throw things are people to rip someone’s head. Still, he had been as direct as them because Elena’s face after processing what had happened was, in his opinion, brilliant. “Well, at least she looks like a princess and not a peasant brown haired and brown eyed tan girl. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s way worse. One single Caroline is worth more than thousand of you”
As there was no need to wait for an answer from Elena amused Gilbert (why should him?) Klaus took Hopper in his left arm and Caroline’s hand. “Come on, let’s play together. Hopper can join us.”
He looked into Caroline’s light eyes waiting for her answer.
“What, cat ate your tongue?”
“No” Caroline’s voice was high. Provably because she was still surprised.
“You want to play right?”
“Yes”
“Then there’s no problem. Isn’t the climbing castle one of your favourite games in the school?”
Mother had told him to take care of those he thought worth it. She had said he would find something to watch for and that he would not mind. Like a prince protects a princess. They might have been kids then but the idea was the same. Why wouldn’t you take care of someone who was better than all kinds of princesses together?

PART II
Years later Caroline was a successful business woman. Law. She had easily climbed to the top being in an important company and dealing with big and interesting cases.
And so did her man.
His lack of interest in law was impressive, as expected from that idiot Not Prom King, but when it came to deal with economy, business and such no one was better.
But the best thing: how fast he worked. He would finish things so fast it didn’t seem human to Caroline. Nothing to worry anyways, he said he worked like that so he would go back to his real job.
“What is it?” she asks with an angelic voice.
He is not fooled. “It’s not important”
“Nik”
In that he had to stop her. “How many times have I nicely asked you not to make fun of me?”
“A few” she nods and smiles remembering that times.
“And how many times have you been nice enough to do as asked?”
“Not many times”
Well, at least she admits it.
“What have I done to deserve being called as if I was a silly lost puppy?”
“You are too cute, that’s why”
Caroline, as lovely as she was as a kid, grew to be a strong woman with a merciless attitude in her job and quite a joker herself. Little moments in which she tried to try to make fun of Klaus by laughing at him. Never a big thing, eccept of the time she got a male puppy of a Pomeranian and called him Nik. And it was worse when Caroline proved how good she was at being able to use a lot of vocatives every chance she got.
Little (not so little now) princess grew to be a strong, fun, amazing queen reigning her life. As expected. And she still had Klaus to take care of her (or acting more like a team now) if she lets him. As expected.
Klaus’s mother wouldn’t have been more right.
His princess is worth it.
