Leave the World on Read

Bubble Bath Blunder (Klaus Mikaelson x Reader)

Klaus and I sat in the library, a delightful fire roaring away beside us, both absorbed into books of our choosing. That being said I was growing tired of reading for now, so I gently closed my book, and tried to quietly stretch as not to disturb Nik. My hopes however were all for naught as when I maneuvered my neck side to side to relieve some tension it let out a resounding POP that echoed through the silent room. "Oops sorry." I apologized a flush burning my cheeks. "No need, darling, I was tiring of the storyline anyways, are you alright though? That was quite loud." He chuckled closing his book and setting it on the coffee table in front of us. "'m fine, better now that relieved quite a bit of tension." I giggled back. He smiled up at me pulling me on top of him and wrapping his arms around my waist, then planting a kiss to my forehead. "Good I'm glad." he breathed. "How are you doing my love?" I asked. "I'm always happy when I'm with you." he replied cheekily, reaching up and stroking my cheek as I played with his soft locks. "That's good, I suppose I'm happy when I'm with you too." I said pretending to be nonchalant, playing around. "Oh,ho ho you suppose you're happy?" He bemused, eyebrows raising playfully, a grin growing, and a well loved mischievous glint in his eyes. " I mean,  I kinda... sorta... maybe... like you just a little bit more than I originally planned." I playfully roll my eyes, somewhat proud of my pun.  "Only kinda, sorta, maybe, a little bit?!" He reared back dramatically clutching his chest and pretending to be offended, "Why doth thou wound me so?" He said with a flourish. "Honestly I'm still deciding whether or not I should return you to the pet store." I snorted. "Oh now you're in for it, them's fightin words missy!" Klaus suddenly plunged his hands into my sides tickling me. "NONOOhooOHHOHHohoh! STAhAhahaHp!!" I stuttered out. "Not until you admit your undying love for me!" He chuckled. "Th-TH-iS Ihhhis CruHHUeAL and UHUhuhuhnsuaallll!!!!" I gasped. "Give. mE. ThE tRUtH!" Nik chided continuing his assault. "OkAY Uhunhcle! I concede, I concede!" I laugh as he finally relents. "Then what do you have to say?..." He prompted. " Niklaus Mikaelson, you are the one, the only, true love of my life, I am beyond blessed you chose me, I am completely, entirely, head over heels, insanely and undeniably in love. With you. I love you! I love you! I love you! I love that instead of missing you at 3 am and then sending you a text, I miss you at 3 am and roll over, give you a kiss, and cuddle up. I love being the reason you look down at your phone and smile. and then run into a pole. Thank you for putting up with me and my peculiarities and thank you for all that you do, all that you've done, all that you will do and thank you most of all for being you. You're kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much, always on my mind and I wouldn't want it any other way, my sweet boy." I admit proudly. "Oh my love, It is I who is beyond blessed you said yes to me. You are always on my mind too, and I never want you to leave it. I am truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you too. Thank you for putting up with me and my antics. You make my life better, you make me better. And I hope I can be the same for you, and hope that you'll stand by my side, always and forever." Klaus gushed, then we shared a passionate kiss. "Always and forever, I'll stay by your side." I promised. "Thank you my love." He smiled in adoration. " ...Or under you, or on top, or behind, or in front." I cackled throwing my head back with laughter. "You little minx." Nik laughed with me. We laid there together on the loveseat for a bit, Klaus lovingly stroking up and down my back, while I ran my finger tips up and down his other arm, staring off into space. After a few minutes had passed in a comfortable silence, Klaus spoke up. "Penny for your thoughts my love?" He asked. "I'm thinking... I'm gonna go take a bath... care to join?" I asked as I stood and stretched, making my way out of the room, looking back over my shoulder. "Yes please!" Nik replied quickly, jumping up and nearly stumbling to follow me. Suddenly scooping me up and playfully throwing me over his shoulder, he climbed the ornate staircase and beelined into our ensuite bathroom. Setting me down gently and stealing a kiss he started the water, then turned and crouched down opening the cabinet under the sink. "What would you like our bath to smell of love?" He asked over his shoulder. "You pick." I said as I checked the water temp, which of course he had gotten perfect. "How about Roses? For one just as sweet and beautiful." Klaus suggested holding up the bottle of rose bubble bath. "Sounds splendid." I agreed. I watched as Nik poured the perfect amount of the product into the tub. "It's missing something..." He pondered for a moment, as I somewhat dimmed the lights. "Ah!" His eyes lit up and he flashed out of the bathroom, only to return just as quickly, with his favorite drink and a glass of mine. "Why thank you handsome." I smiled setting the drinks down beside the tub. I began to undress and Klaus stepped forward, helping me along, placing loving and adoring, kisses on each section of skin that was uncovered. Not in a sexual way, but an intimate, I just want to show you just how much I love you kind of way. I returned the favor placing kisses upon his body in all the spots he had kissed mine. Klaus got in first, taking my hand and helping me in. He laid back against the tub, pulling me to lay between his legs, back against his chest, arms around my waist. "Perfect." I sighed relaxing into the hot water. "Are you comfortable?" I checked with him. "Immensely, love, thank you." He smiled reaching up and tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. Nik began to mindlessly, lovingly, run his fingers over my skin, he doesn't have a motive, he's not trying to start anything, he's simply just touching my skin, and feeling the shape of my bones underneath, like it's physically comforting to him in some way, perhaps a reminder, soothing his worries, to know that I'm right here, right under his fingertips, safe, sound, and protected. His aimless, comforting touch starts to move toward my legs, wanting to show love to every part of my body, when I stopped him. "Sorry love, not that I'm not immensely enjoying your soft touches, because trust me I love them, but I'm prickly... I need to shave." I sheepishly admit. "Not to worry my love, would you like me to take care of it for you?" He asked already reaching for a fresh razor and my shave balm. "Oh Klaus, you don't have to sweetheart." I kissed his cheek. "Nonsense, I know I don't have to, but I would like too, any opportunity to pamper my darling." He smiled cheekily eyes twinkling. "Well, if you insist then." I smiled motioning to my legs. Nik had me resituate so my back was against the other end of the tub, my legs over his. He gently lifted my right leg first spreading the balm, in a thin even layer, then began shaving. I watched him as he worked an adoring smile on my lips as I watched his brow furrow, and his tongue poke slightly out of his mouth in concentration. Klaus exquisitely and quite frankly almost expertly, finished off my right leg, leaving it soft and silky. He gently placed it back into the water, after pressing a soft kiss to my shin, then picking up the left one focusing on it. It was going smoothly until he got to my knee, and as all of us who remove the hair from our legs knows, knees are tricky. Nik was going over it sideways the way he knows I like, when the razor stuttered and created a small gash. "Ahh Shit." I hissed. Klaus took a breath, forcefully blinking back the black veins that appeared, composing himself quickly. "Y/n baby, I'm so sorry, here, drink." He unflinchingly bit into his wrist drawing his healing blood, offering it to me. "A-are you sure?" I asked. I always felt bad whenever he did this for me. "Oh love, please, besides if anyone should be feeling guilty, it's me I hurt you. Please drink, for me." He chided softly stroking my hair. "Okay." I nodded and took a tiny bit, then we watched as the cut healed up and disappeared, as if it was never there to begin with. "I'm terribly sorry, darling." Klaus apologized clutching me to him. "Nik sweet boy, it was an accident, believe me, I've lost track of how many times I've cut my knees accidentally, despite having been shaving for years... knees are dastardly creatures." I assured chuckling. "I'll just finish the leg real quick and we can go cuddle." I said reaching for the razor. Klaus however had other ideas snatching it up before I could, "No, no, I'll finish it, I'll be extra extremely careful." He promised. So having to bite back giggles, I watched as Klaus very very slowly, very very carefully finished my leg, taking the utmost caution as to not marr my skin any further. "There, smooth as butter, and more importantly, sans blood." Nik breathed a sigh of relief. He pressed a kiss over where the cut had been silently apologizing one last time. "Why thank you my love, they feel utterly divine." I praised him giving him a kiss. "Right, now, I believe someone promised cuddles?" He asked cutely, showing a side of himself I absolutely adored. "Lead the way!" I chuckled. Klaus pulled the plug, draining the tub, and stood stepping out of the tub and holding a hand out for me to take. "Don't mind if I do kind si- whOoooh." I cut myself off with a gasp as I started to slip, but thanks to Klaus' vamp speed, his arms shot round my waist catching me before I could fall. "Easy there, one of these days you are going to end up giving me a heart attack you know." Nik chided playfully. "Uhhh... sorry in advance?" I shrug jokingly. "Whatever am I going to do with you, my sweet angel." He chuckled softly wrapping a towel around us both. "Hold me, love me, never leave me." I suggested sweetly. "I certainly wouldn't be opposed to that." He smiled and we shared another sweet kiss, interrupted by both of us shivering as the AC kicked on. "Let's continue this somewhere warmer." Klaus nodded his head towards our bed. "Let's." I agreed. So after putting on pjs and brushing our teeth, we turned out the lights and curled up under the covers. "Simply perfect." Nik breathed in contentedness. "I know you are, but what am I?" I teased. "Amazing, wonderful, incredible, kind, sweet, beautiful, preciou-" I cut him off with a kiss. Once we parted the need for air prominent he smirked at me. "If I keep going, will you do that again?" He asked cheekily. "No need, just ask." I smiled back. "I'll keep that in mind." He nodded. I made sure he was gazing in my eyes as I gazed back, adding, "But you forgot one thing, most of all, my dear, sweet, Niklaus, I'm yours." a lovestruck grin overtaking both of our features. "And I yours my love, I am yours y/n y/l/n." He whispered back. We kissed again melting into each other, before finally exhaustion settled in. "Goodnight m' lover."  I sighed in a hushed tone, placing one last kiss to his chest, nuzzling into him. "Goodnight, love." Klaus replied in the same hushed tone, planting a kiss on my head, then just leaving his lips there as we drifted off.
