Friendship or Love (A Klaroline Fanfic)

Chapter Nine

"When my eyes are closed, I can see you for what you truly are, which is ugly. We're done!" Kol mimicked the words from the movie, making everyone laugh at him.

After watching 'White Chicks' and 'Little Man' they had decided to prolong the night by watching 'She's The Man' which Kol was currently taking the mickey out of - just like the previous two.

Caroline was enjoying herself. She liked that they didn't fuss over her movements or look at her in pity. Even though there were a couple of times she caught concern cross their faces, they hadn't voiced their thoughts - knowing it would annoy and upset her.

They had ordered a couple of pizzas at the beginning of the second film and at the end of it Henrik, Rebekah and Stefan went to the local store to get some more munchies.

Everything was going great, there were arguments between Kol and Rebekah, Kol and Henrik, Kol and Klaus, Rebekah and Klaus, Rebekah and Elena, Rebekah and Ester, Stefan and Damon, and Caroline, Stefan and Damon. They were not big, they were normal, and Caroline was happy with it. The only thing that bothered her was the man behind her.

"Don't laugh so hard love, you still have broken ribs." Klaus whispered in her ear, worried about her harming herself.

"Healing ribs, thank you very much." She corrected, getting irritated over his constant pestering.

He sighed, "I just don't want you to go through anymore pain, sweetheart. Is it so bad that I care?"

Caroline smiled slightly, "No, it's not bad, and I'm fine Nik. I'm having fun being here with everyone and just relaxing. Besides, I could never feel any pain when your arms are wrapped around me." She blushed at the end of her sentence, glad they were whispering so no-one could hear them.

"You're really cute when you blush. Wonder how else I could make that happen." He said with a seductive tone, making her turn to the colour of a tomato.

Caroline still couldn't believe he returned her feelings, but when they speak openly about them, it feels really right - and that's saying something as they have only been whispering sweet nothings to each other for about 5 hours.

"Stop with the dirty talk you two, there is a child in the room." Kol called with a fake appalled look on his face.

"Hey." Henrik said in annoyance while Caroline hid her face in her hands embarrassed.

"What? You're the baby of the family. Oh and Caroline, you wound me darling, I thought we were gonna snuggle?" He pouted, receiving cushions thrown at him by all.

"Don't worry love, we can talk dirty another time." Klaus smirked, mischief dancing in his eyes.

"Klaus..!" Caroline whined quietly, and if possible turning even more red.

"Oh, so it's Klaus now? What happened to Nik?" He teased. "Anyway, I have better ways to get you moaning my name."

She gasped. "I did not moan!" She quickly defended. "Now hush. We're missing the film."

Klaus just chuckled and kissed her temple lovingly.

He loves how he can finally kiss her and hold her when ever he desires. He just wishes she didn't get hit by a car after he told her he loved her. He had made a vow when she woke up that day. A vow to never let anything harm her. He knows it might sound silly or stupid or just plain cheesy to anyone else, but he doesn't care, he just wants his only love to be safe.

Sighing happily with her in his arms, he moves his face to the crook of her neck and inhales her honey and vanilla scent. He smiles as he lifts his eyes to the tv screen and continues to watch the film.\
