The youngest Gilbert

Fix me please

I woke up surprised to see that I'd been moved during the night. I was in a large king sized bed, Klaus snoring slightly next to me while he slept. I could tell from the elaborate decor that he hadn't taken me to my usual guest room this time. He'd taken me to his room and let me sleep in his bed with him. I smiled at the fact that the big bad original vampire had let me, a little heartbroken girl, into his bed without any expectations of sex. It was actually really nice of him. He could've just left me in  one of the many guest rooms that the mansion had but instead he'd kept me near him.

Sitting back against the headrest, I let out a heavy sigh. Judging by the colour of the sky it was probably around 4AM... definitely way too early to be awake. Unfortunately my subconscious would no longer let me sleep peacefully. The sight of Elena and Damon played in my head like a film on a loop. Anger still bubbled inside of me like simmering lava but nothing that I could do would stop the emotion... not anything legal anyways. My mind started wandering into the possible reasons Damon could've had for kissing Elena. Was I not good enough for him? Was I too damaged? Maybe I wasn't pretty enough or maybe I was just boring him. As the thoughts plagued my mind I felt my anger being replaced by heartbreak again and despite all my efforts to stop the tears, they came anyways. I tried to be quiet while I wept so as not to disturb Klaus, I wouldn't want him to be angry at me for waking him with my pathetic tears.

My efforts to not disturb Klaus were in vain though because as soon as a sob passed my lips Klaus was awake and moving to hold me. "Did something happen love? Are you alright?" The original queried. I nodded and tried to put on a smile for him but he saw straight through it. "You can tell me darling, I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere." I took a moment to appreciate him. No one had ever been this concerned about me. No one except... Damon. There was a moment of silence as I found the courage to ask my question. "Is something wrong with me Klaus?" I whispered, my voice barley audible to the average person, but not to Klaus. He heard me. He let go of me to force me to look up at him. "Nothing is wrong with you Paige. You are so beautiful and kind and your courage to be who you are always amazes me. You're not afraid of anything and honestly Damon is a right idiot for letting a women like you slip through his fingers because if you were mine... well if you were mine I'd never let you go." He said the last part sheepishly, almost as if he were embarrassed. I blushed at his kind words. Happiness filling me and burning away the sorrow I was feeling before. I didn't know how to respond. Minutes passed and neither of had said anything. I was at a loss for words and Klaus seemed too embarrassed to speak. He had genuine feelings for me and I'd only really realized it now. Before I'd just thought he'd wanted me as a power play type of thing but now it's different.

Without thinking, I lent forward and kissed him. It was just a peck on the lips. Nothing too heated, but it was charged with tension nonetheless. Klaus was the one to pull away. He wore a stunned expression which quickly changed into what I thought was sadness. "We can't do this Love. Believe me I really really would love nothing more than to keep kissing you but you're not in the right frame of mind right now and I don't want to take advantage of you. If I'm going to kiss you I want you to be sure of your feelings and not just kissing me out revenge against Damon and Elena." He spoke quickly, trying to get his point across before losing his nerve. I nodded. "Klaus look at me." his beautiful face reluctantly lifted to a level where we could hold eye contact. "I understand what you're saying but I promise you I'm not just kissing you because I'm mad at Damon. I'd never thought I'd felt anything for you because I've spent so long being afraid of you and running from you. But since I've started actually spending time with you I can't help but to feel...something for you. I'm not sure what it is yet but I do feel for you Klaus. I really tried not to but I can't help it, you've got me hooked." I smiled at him as I watched his face change from sadness to a look of pure joy. "Well then! I suppose it ok if we do this."He lent forward and kissed me. This time it was full of passion as he had one hand on my cheek and the other tangled in my hair as my arms went around his neck. Kissing him felt very different to kissing Damon. With Damon, the kisses were heated and hungry but with Klaus the kisses were passionate yet sweet. It was intoxicating. He was intoxicating. We were intoxicated by eachother.

After our kisses, we pulled apart, deciding it was best not to take anything further at the moment and just get used to eachother. After all, this is the man that nearly killed me a few months ago, so the whole being nice thing is new and the feelings... whatever they are are definitely new and different. He pulled me to his naked chest and wrapped his arms around me protectively as I rested my head on his chest. "Goodnight angel" Klaus said after kissing my forehead gently, the little action bringing a smile to my face. "Goodnight Klaus." I responded. Closing my eyes and not feeling complete misery for the first time this evening. All thoughts and worries about facing everyone at school tomorrow floated away for the time being and I fell asleep yet again, incased in the safety of the big bad vampires arms.
