Always and forever >> Klaus Mikaelson

TWENTY-SEVEN

Ariana woke up to the familiar feeling of Klaus' fingers tracing up and down her thigh hiked up to his waist. she slowly fluttered open her eyes, and looked up at his soft ones. the scene around her was peaceful, for living in a placed swarmed with danger, and the white expensive sheets that coated just the bottom of arianas legs and feet bounced off the golden sunlight, hitting onto her skin perfectly. 

"you're so beautiful." Klaus whispered, pushing strands of wild loose hair  behind her ear softly, letting his thumb drag down her cheek. she smiled at his words, placed a soft kiss to his lips, and snuggled in closer to him. 

the two, after a while, got themselves up and ready for the day. Ariana made her way into the shower, turning on the knob, and as soon as the water had hit her skin, Ariana let out a loud groan of pain, causing the hybrid to come rushing to her side. 

"what?" he asked, pulling her out of the water, wrapping his shirt around her. she looked down at her burned arm, watching it heal painfully slowly. 

"vervain." she spoke with a pout. he sighed through his nose.

"come on, we need to visit your brothers." he spoke, throwing some of her clothes on the bed. 

--

"hello mate."

"the hell are you doing here?" damon weakly asked, snatching the bottle of water. 

"babysitting."

"we could use the practice." Ariana joked, looking at her brother behind the door. 

"give him a vial of blood every couple hours so he doesn't desiccate. if he gets too much strength back, or if he just, annoys you, bleed him out again." Stefan instructed. Klaus let out a low, single chuckle. 

"silent treatment, huh? is that your best shot? he's still mad at me for sleeping with Elena." damon informed Ariana. she pushed out her bottom lip, looking up at Klaus.

"no, no I think he's recovering pretty fine." Ariana spoke.

"are you sure about that? cause i caught him trying to sneak out of Rebekah's bed this morning. which would suggest to me that he's moved on." Klaus smugly smiled. 

"well well, looks like my brother ripped out a page of my revenge sex handbook." damon joked. 

"Well why don't you three enjoy your little, uh, villain bonding time? ill let you know when I get the dagger from rebekah."  stefan walked away, and Ariana stood there confused. 

"just ask her for it, don't use her." Ariana shouted after him. "dick." 

Ariana made her way back up the stairs, leaving the two be for a while as she fished through for a good blood bag. 

meanwhile, klaus paced lightly around the room. 

"you know none of this would be an issue, if you'd have just done your job properly, I was perfectly wiling to let you train Jeremy." Klaus turned to look at the oldest salvatore.

"no you weren't, you kidding? you got there day two." damon threw a ball in the air and caught it. "you know how hard it is too get these xbox brains tot focus?"

"and then when I turned a room full of barflies into vampires for him to slaughter, you let kol kill them." Klaus informed. 

"your brother problem, not mine buddy." 

"And who's bright idea was it to saddle Jeremy with a conscience, hm?" Klaus interrogated. 

"well we couldn't have him try to stake Elena in her sleep now, could we?" damon spoke with a frown.
