To the afterlife and back

Showers and an unwanted person

Hayley's POV 

I wake up, breathing heavily and sweat dripping down my face. Sitting up and looking around, I see I am in Klaus's room, so I lay back down, trying to catch my breath. Klaus rolls over, putting his arm around my stomach, snuggling closer to me. I softly move out of his grasp. Not that I don't want to be there, but I've just woken up from a nightmare, and I am sweating. I don't want to get him sweaty too. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and try to get up, but a hand grabs my arm. I turn and see Klaus sat up, holding onto me. 

"Where are you going, Little Wolf?"  

"I need to get a shower. I'm sorry. I had a nightmare and I woke up sweating, so I've made your sheets all wet." He looks over me and then at the sheets, before back at me. 

"It's ok. There just sheets. Are you ok?" He's worried, I can tell, but I smile at him and try to reassure him. 

"I'm ok." He gives me a look before lying back down on his back. "Honestly. I'm fine." I get out of the bed and stand up. "Urgh, I didn't realise a person could sweat so much." He chuckles, as I get some of my clothes from two of the drawers in his dresser. He had moved some of his stuff to clear space for my clothes after the first week of being here. Shutting the drawers, I make my way towards the door.

"What are you doing?" He asks me. Turning to him I look at him confused. 

"I told you, I'm getting a shower." 

"Just use mine." He points to the ensuite he has and rolls on his side, looking at me from the bed. 

I nod my head and walk-in. I've never used this shower before. I didn't want to take over his entire space so I just use the main one, not liking to use the one in my ensuite because they might be watching me. I know we killed them all, but the feeling hasn't gone away. I start getting undressed, and I can hear Klaus moving around in his room. I put my pyjamas in a pile on the floor before opening the shower and getting in, turning it on, and shutting the door. The temperature that Klaus likes is the same as mine, which is good because I wouldn't want to mess with it. I grab the shampoo and put it all over my hair, rinsing it out after. I go get the conditioner and realise there is none, seeing as boys hardly ever use it. Klaus's hair is soft anyway without it. 

"Klaus. Klaus!" I shout and he walks to the bathroom door. Dang it, I forgot to shut it. Oh well. "Can you get me some conditioner, please? I forgot you don't use it." 

"Yeah. I'll be right back." He walks off, leaving the bathroom door open, but shuts his bedroom door.

Klaus's POV 

Stripping the sheets off the bed, I throw them in the laundry basket. She looked worried when she told me she had been sweating in her sleep. She shouldn't be though. I sweat in my sleep sometimes; it's normal. I wish she would just relax more with me. I know she has done a lot compared to what she was like with me before, but there are times when I see how much further we have to go before she is fully comfortable around me. And when these times happen, I get reminded that we aren't together. I hear her shouting me over the noise of the shower. Walking to the ensuite, I see she hasn't closed the door. I can see her through the shower. I try not to look, but it's hard. I mean, come on. Have you seen her? And this is me. I would never normally show this much restraint if it was anyone else. But, she is in my shower after all. "Can you get me some conditioner, please? I forgot you don't use it." I smile slightly as she speaks.  

"Yeah. I'll be right back." I walk out, and go into the corridor, shutting the door behind me. I vamp into Hayley's room, into her ensuite and grab her conditioner. I walk normally out of the ensuite and back out to the corridor, shutting her door behind me. I was only in my boxers, seeing as I had just got out of bed before Hayley asked me to get the conditioner, and seeing as I was vamping everywhere I didn't matter. I turn to vamp to my room when I get stopped.
