This is a Once Upon a Time/ Originals crossover, I ended up making a picture that's similar to this situation and I wanted to write it out. Caroline's been with Klaus for a while but not a couple yet (don't ask I don't know why) and there's a bit of a time jump in Storybrooke as well. It's written from different perspectives so if you don't watched OUAT you'll get a gist.
Caroline has to wake Klaus up by True Love's Kiss. Enjoy!
The dwarves looked in panic at the hybrid laid out before them. His eyes closed, his face as peaceful as one could get when pricked with the sleeping curse behind their back. Rumpelstiltskin looked towards the man while deep in thought. He felt two hands travel up his arm and looked towards his newly wed wife, Belle. She gave him a small smile of encouragement and he smiled back.
Klaus was laid in the bed Rumpelstiltskin nearly died in. And now it seemed that bed was starting to get bad luck, as they watched in concern, grey veins travelled up from the tips of his fingers and now reached his elbows.
Niklaus Mikaelson had blown into this town with his younger companion quite by accident. They'd been on a mission to find one of the man's many brothers, and lost him somewhere in this state. When Klaus started to become suspicious that they had been trapped here, as Miss Swan had to inform them they couldn't leave unless they could take down the latest spell on the town line, Hades and Niklaus came to blows. Unfortunately the immortal, unkillable hybrid lost. Not without a good fight though. And his companion had seen him through it all. She'd been there beside him, despite every time the others decided to turn on him. It was true, the hybrid was not a friendly person and he didn't stop making threats until he had been pricked. But his companion, this Caroline Forbes, had persuaded everyone to give him second chance upon second chance. Promising he was only lashing out because he was scared for his brother. It was obvious how Miss Forbes felt, and she never denied it when someone questioned her feelings. No one ever questioned her goodness, either. She was so much like Belle it was uncanny.
If Caroline could be in love with Niklaus, how impossible was it for Belle to love all of him?
Emma swerved down the road toward Mr. Gold's shop, the yellow bug going up on two wheels then steadying itself. Caroline nearly snapped at the savior for reckless driving but her thoughts were preoccupied. Five minutes in this stupid fairytale world and he manages to piss off the Lord of the Dead. Now on top of the sleeping curse that could only be broken by something everyone's calling 'True love's Kiss', Hades added that his true love, 'if he even had one', had to get there within the hour. Otherwise Klaus would be sleeping in desiccation until his body just died. There was no cure. At least not one she'd be able to find in the allotted time. And she'd already lost twenty minutes of it to the road, and however long it took for everyone else to figure out what was happening to him.
The yellow bug's tires screeched as it swerved toward the curb, Emma, David and Caroline yanking open their doors and sprinting inside.
"How much more time?" Caroline asked
"Ten minutes." Emma huffed, looking at Caroline in wonder. "You sure it's gonna work?" She asked in reply. Caroline suppressed the urge to glare at her. They were inside the shop and the shopkeeper's younger wife stepped from the curtains.
"We've got history, I know how he feels about me and I feel the same." Caroline replied as she followed the father and daughter's lead.
"No, I know how you feel about the guy. But everything he's done since he got here, he hasn't shown once that he feels the same way." Emma reasoned.
"He's a bit distracted, he wants to find Elijah and Hades isn't letting him leave this town." Caroline protested. Emma sighed and looked to her father, wanting backup. David stepped forward.
"We don't want to give you false hope, Caroline. We've lived off of that for too long when it was just too late." David said. Caroline glared at him.
"Either let me go to Klaus, or I'm going to break your arm." She replied slowly in a low voice. The two stayed there for a minute, and then stepped aside to let Caroline into the next room.
She looked around to three dwarves, The shopkeeper and his wife, the savior's new husband, and Margaret, the savior's mother. If Caroline hadn't learned how the age gap was so closed when she and Klaus had gotten here, her mind wouldn't have let the question go. She shook her head of the thought and the dwarves moved out of the way. Caroline kneeled before Klaus's face, seeing his eyes closed and his skin feverish made her nervous. She looked away and saw the only approving nod in the room. Killian Jones, the savior's husband. He gave her a small smile as well and took his wife's hand, Emma looking from Caroline to Killian. Caroline looked back to Klaus and shut her eyes tightly for a moment.
She opened them to find Klaus's mouth with her own and closed her eyes again. It felt odd that he didn't kiss her back. Out of everytime she'd kissed him, he always kissed her back. Always. And so she held on a little longer, hoping he'd kiss her back without pause. But his loose sweaty lips stayed so.
A green light emitted from them, and spread across the town. She didn't know it for a fact, but Caroline felt the light went through her body, and its feeling stayed with her until a minute later. Caroline pulled back, and the sound was loud. Klaus's greying skin slowly dissipated. And his feverish demeanor vanished. But his eyes remained closed. His mouth unmoved from her kiss. Klaus looked as peaceful as when she came in. She looked back to Emma, or Margaret, maybe even Mr. Gold. Their worried, dark faces didn't help her much. Caroline looked back to Klaus. His face the same.
No.
She blinked and watched his face more closely. Nothing. Emma said he'd wake up right after she kissed him.
No.
No this couldn't be happening.
She loved him.
Caroline looked away, and she heard something.
"I'm not sure it worked, try again love." Her eyes snapped back to Klaus's face, his face barely suppressing a grin, but his eyes still closed.
She could be mad at him later. She grabbed his face and crushed her lips to his again, this time his mouth molded perfectly against hers. Like every other time they'd kissed. Every other time it's turned into something more than a simple peck on the cheek or the forehead. Caroline pulled back with a grin and met Klaus's eyes, before he let out a chuckle and pulled her mouth towards him again. Their foreheads touched as they pulled away.
"I knew you'd save me." Klaus murmured.
"I had to pay you back for the fifty times you saved me, didn't I?" Caroline said. He chuckled again and kissed her.
