2016 April Collection

Request - Drabble Klaus Mikaelson

Your eyes opened, and you squinted against the light. You tried to see where you were, but everything was still blurry. You had no idea anymore what had happened, just that you felt safe now...
"Where am I?" You tried to sit up when a pair of strong arms held you down.

"Easy, love... you took quite the hit on your head, and you're not as resilient as I am. You need to rest."

You squinted again. The voice sounded awfully familiar, but you could barely imagine Klaus being so worried over you. Most of the time you had seen him he seemed to ignore you, barely acknowledging your existence, something that had started to annoy you after a while.
"And why do you care about that?" Your sight started to become clearer, and you were surprised to find yourself at the compound.
"You brought me to your home? What did I do to earn that honor..." Ok, great. Whatever had happened, you hadn't lost your sense of sarcasm. That was good to know. Even when the pounding in your head told you Klaus had been right in keeping you down.

He started to chuckle.
"At least someone didn't manage to make you lose your big mouth, Y/N." Then the smile disappeared from his face.
"I saw someone trying to kidnap you, and somehow I couldn't let that happen. When they were gone, you were lying on the street, motionless, barely breathing." He bit his lip. "I thought I lost you."

Ok. Wow... that did change some things.
"You didn't like that thought?" You stayed down, having learned your lesson from trying to sit up before, but also because it was such a rare occasion to see Klaus admit something that had to do with his feelings. You knew he had them, you just barely saw them.

He shook his head.
"Not for one bit. Listen, love... I'm not the one for big love declarations, so if you're waiting for that to happen, you might as well stop hoping now. But I do wish to keep you safe, and after what happened today, that has only become more clear. Stay here as long as you want. My house is your house, and you will be safe here... I'll leave you to rest now." He stood up and walked away, but not before you managed to grab his hand.

"Klaus? Thank you."
