You do understand that if Bonnie is to believe that you are interested in pursuing a relationship with her, she had to actually know that you are even an option." Elijah said.

"Of course she knows I'm an option," Klaus dismissed his brother.

"How? I believe Miss Bennett is still under the impression that you hate her and her friends, and she still hates you." Elijah was getting fed up watching his brother watch the witch and creeping on her like she didn't know what he was doing.

"I never hated her. I hated that she was standing in the way of my curse breaking. I do, in fact, hate her friends… At least the incompetent Salvatore brothers and their obnoxious Petrova doppelgänger. Who… I know is alive. Have I killed her? No. I respect and I'm pleased that Bonnie is ingenious enough to fool me, if only for a while. She is wonderful."

"Yes, well, she has no idea how you feel. Nor does she have any idea that you are the one leaving her love notes and gifts. As far as she's concerned, you aren't even in town. Therefore, you are not an option. To become a option you need let her know your intentions first" Elijah said

"I should, what? Just walk up to her and announce my intentions?"

"How have you wooed women for the last thousand years? It is impossible that you are this clueless." Elijah didn't understand why his brother was so content with observing his mate from afar.

"I… I have never wanted everything with someone. I do mean everything. I want to know her deepest fears, her

regrets, and her every triumph. And I want her to know my heart and mind just as completely. It may be that I am unsure as to how exactly I am to proceed with her."

Elijah studied his brother's profile, and reminded himself that this was a different Klaus. "Perhaps, it would be best to start by letting her know that you are still on the playing field. Say hello. Start a conversation."

"You need not tell me what a fool I am making of myself, 'Lijah. My memory of yesterday is quite the reminder,

Two Months After the Curse (Night of the Girls Night)

His brother quirked his lips at his distress. "When I suggested that you make her aware that you were on the playing field, I did not mean to imply that you do it as awkwardly as you are."

"I am aware, brother," Klaus said through clenched teeth.

"Explain why you thought that making conversation about ice cream was your best approach."

"I truly have no reasonable explanation. I meant to approach her before, yet every time I came up blank. The ice cream comment just… slipped out."

"I see. What are you thinking of when you see her and freeze?"

Klaus took on a red blush.

"Brother, are you blushing?"

His jaw flexed, "Of course not."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"The usual. How gorgeous her eyes are. Her glorious scent. How I want to taste her blood and claim her as mine. I imagine how wonderful it would be to go to sleep every night with her in my arms and wake up to see her still there. I think of how badly I would like to ravish her and taste every inch of her delicious body. I also think about chasing her and playing with her in the woods. I want to change into my wolf and have her pet me and rubbing my stomach. I want to see her by my side, as my queen, my partner in life...my wife. Yet, I cannot help but think about how she is mortal. 'Elijah, she is so strong and amazing, and still so tiny and vulnerable. And she is a witch, there's no way she would ever want to be turned. Nor could I ever force her to, no matter how badly I want to. Can you possibly imagine what sort of monster I would become after burying my mate? My heart?"

Elijah could, and it terrified him. Not because he thought that Klaus would rage and level the planet. No, it terrified him because he came to the realization that Klaus would stop at nothing until he found someone to kill him. He would not want to live without Bonnie, and would do everything to follow her into the other side. "Hmm. Would it not be better to take it one day at a time?"

"Clearly. Care to explain how I am to do that?"

"…"

"I was afraid of that."

"I am not an expert at living in the moment. Nor am I an expert in teenage girls. It has become quite apparent that we are in dire need of assistance."

"And who would you suggest?"

Elijah looked at his brother from the corner of his eyes. "You may know her… She's blonde and angry at you."

"Caroline?"

"No. Rebekah. Although, come to think of it, it would be beneficial to enlist Miss Forbes' help. She does know Bonnie well."

"Hmm. And Rebekah? Do you think she would want to help me after everything I that I have done?"

"It is Rebekah, Klaus. Despite what happened with Marcel, she has always been loyal to her family. Perhaps, it is time to remove her stake."

"Understood. Step one, release Rebekah. Step two, beg for Caroline's help. Step three, Bonnie falls in love with me."

"Yes. Let us all pray for it to be that simple." Klaus grimaced and raised his glass before he took a drink.

"Trust me it will be easy as pie"Klaus said taking a sip of his bourbon.

"What makes you think it be easy to make Ms. Bennet fall in love with you that easily? Those steps are necessary but how?" Elijah asked making klaus smirk sitting down his glass.

"Mikaelson charms and my wonderful personality" klaus answered making elijah roll his eyes. Klaus has the worst personality out all the siblings.

Standing outside of the Bennett's residence, the two brothers sighed in relief. It seemed that Caroline might not be as hard to win over as they had previously thought. It also seemed that Bonnie had noticed the change in Klaus. She may even be open to the idea of a relationship with him anytime soon, but who knows what will happen between them.
