Vampire Diaries Imagines

Come Back To Us - Klaus Mikaelson

He was living my dream with someone else. The man of my dreams was out starting a family with somebody else. With a girl I had never heard of. But what was I to expect when he and I haven't talked in almost a hundred years? What we had was over for far too long. Though I wished it wasn't.

I wish Niklaus and I never lost touch. But Niklaus was so focused on breaking his damn curse that I had to step away. I had to break my own heart before the man that held it broke for me. So now I just watch from afar while Klaus starts the family we had always dreamed of for eternity.

"He knows you're here, love." Came the voice of the youngest Mikaelson brother. "Just like he always does."

"I know." I reply simply before looking over at Kol.

"Why don't you talk to him, (Y/N/N)? You've had plenty of opportunities to do so but yet you rather stand in the shadows."

"I won't drag him back into the past when the future is looking brighter than ever for him than it is for me." I say and sat down on the nearby bench. "I miss him terribly. His voice. His company. I just miss him. But your brother has moved on and started the family we dreamed of."

Kol shook his head slightly. "He's never moved on from you, (Y/N/N)." He said looking over at his brother, who was now looking around to see where he had run off to.

"Far from it."

"It looks quite different from where I have been standing the last century." I say as I look upon the man I've loved my entire life. "Besides Niklaus has better things to worry about than little ole me has done with my life. You all do." My gaze fell from looking at the hybrid to my hands. "We can't have what we once had, Kol. That tale has long been written over. The life we planned for will always be just that. Nik and I married and having children of our own. Your parents around and happy to watch their grandchildren grow up. That dream was killed with Henrik but neither one of us could accept that fate. I held on to what I could for the better part of a thousand years. Hell, I still hold on to a good part of it. Thinking it would all be a dream and I'll wake up one day back in our small village. All of us with smiles on our faces as we sat by the river." I could feel the tears streaming down my face while I spoke. "I know your mother had her reasons to keep me with him and his sanity in line. But at this point in my life, I wish she had used me instead of Tatia."

"Don't speak that way, love. Don't you dare speak that way. I will hear nothing of it." Kol says strictly. "And neither would Nik." The youngest Mikaelson brother let out a slight sigh before speaking again. "None of us are willing to let you go the easy, love. Not me, nor Beks, nor Elijah or Freya even, wherever she maybe. Especially not Niklaus. One of us will always keep up with where you go, what you do, and who you're with. You were always the glue that kept us together. We knew what family was but you taught us what it meant even though you never truly had one yourself. (Y/N), we might be the muscle but you are the strength."

"I couldn't have said it better myself, brother." Said Niklaus as he now stood behind us. "May I have a moment with her alone?"

"Of course." Kol said with a nod to his brother then turned back to me and placed a kiss on the top of my head. "Remember what I have told you and that I mean every word." Then he was gone and it was just the hybrid and I on the hilltop.

Klaus walked around the side of the bench and sat down in the spot that his younger brother had once occupied. He then placed a gentle hand on my knee before he spoke. "You are truly missed, my darling."

Reaching up, I wiped the tears that had already fallen away and said, "I miss you all just as much."

The Mikaelson man looked at me with sad eyes. "Then come home, love."

"Niklaus, it's not the same as it once was." I say and shook my head. "None of it is. I mean the girl down there is having your child. That's something I was never able to give you. I don't want to come in and ruin all that for you. That wouldn't be fair to you, me, or her." My gaze returned to my hands once more.

"Oh, my love, how can you be so brilliant but so blind at the same time? Hayley is nothing to me but the mother of my child. We can just barely get along on a good day. Nothing has ever changed the way you hold my heart. I could never dream of anyone like you." He says and lifted my head so I would look at him. "Darling, I may have made it seem like the others had meant something to me after you took your leave but they never did. Nothing but a distraction from the fact that you weren't by my side. I still lie awake at night hoping you would return to me, to us. Wherever I went, I could sense you not far off in the distance. (Y/N/N), you are truly one of a kind. There's only one of you. It will always be you that will truly forever hold my heart. I was shattered when you left. We all were. But having you close by was better than not having you there at all." Listening to Niklaus made the tears fall faster. "Even if it's different now than it was a hundred years ago, we will make it work from what it is now. But nothing has ever changed how much I love you, (Y/N). Nothing ever will."

"I still love you more than life itself." I said with a sad smile on my face.

Klaus' face mimicked that of mine and he said, "then come home, my love, and I will show you just how much I still adore you."

I gave it just a moment o thought before I replied with a nod. "Okay."

With a simple smile, Nik took my hand in his and led me down the hill toward the rest of his family. When Kol and Elijah saw me with their brother, they smiled. Rebekah on the other hand flung herself towards me.

"(Y/N/N)!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around me in a bone-crushing hug. "You came back to us!"
