So I just read a great fanfic and it inspired me to finish this. Sorry I haven't updated in literally forever, there's no good excuse. This was my first one of these things, so my planned plot was pretty short, so here comes an ending. Hope you like it :)

Happiness

Caroline skipped into her room, dropped her stuff on the floor, and hopped up onto her bed. She started jumping and squealing, then threw her face into her pillow and rapidly kicked her feet against her bed. Then she flipped over and began breathing heavily, trying to contain her excitement.

Once Caroline calmed herself down, her phone rang.

She lifted it to her ear without checking the ID and said "Hello?"

"Hello, love" a sexy British voice said through the phone.

Caroline giggled and teased, "I see you couldn't last ten minutes without my presence."

Klaus chuckled and replied, "You're right. Every moment you're away is a moment wasted. So, with that in mind, when can I see you again? Tomorrow morning? Oh, never mind, tonight. I'm sure you could sneak past your mother,"

Caroline smiled to herself, but said, "Whoa, buddy. You sure you're not gonna scare me away with how much you like me? Patience, old man, I thought you'd be familiar with it by now."

"Yes, I'm familiar with how much I dislike it. And I am being patient because I want to see you this very second, but I'm waiting until it is convenient for you, you see."

She laughed as she replied, "Yes, I suppose that is patience. You can come over, but you have to be almost silent. My mother may not be a vampire, but if her sheriff senses are tingling, I'm screwed. Come in through my window?"

"Your wish is my command. I'll see you in five… four…" Klaus said before hanging up the phone.

Three seconds later, her window was sliding up and the most dangerous being to ever walk the earth was smoothly climbing into the room.

"Gosh, how close to my house were you?" Caroline asked, genuinely surprised.

"Right out in your backyard. I'm surprised you didn't notice me. Well, I guess you were preoccupied by your… celebration," Klaus smirked.

"You saw that?" Caroline said, mortified.

"I did and found it humorous that you found my suggestions overly excited," Klaus replied as he walked over to her, taking her hands in his as he lifted her to stand.

"Can you pretend you never saw that? I might just die again of embarrassment," Caroline asked.

"Sorry, love, can't unsee what's been seen. Besides, it makes me fancy you more. You can be quite cute when you're excited," he smiled down at her.

Caroline unsuccessfully tried to hold back her smile as she said "fine" and draped her arms around his neck. They slowly swayed back and forth for a short while in silence before Caroline said, "I feel like I hardly know you. Like, I know you're like life story from when we hated you and stuff, but I don't know a lot of the little things. Like, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? And did you ever go to college? And, if so, where? I mean, you must have some incredible stories!"

Klaus laughed and said, "Yes, I've seen some incredible things. Art, literature, and things of great beauty, but none of them compare to you. You are the single most amazing thing I've ever laid my eyes upon, and every story I've got would pale in comparison."

"You're very sweet, but I still need to know more about you. College? Ice Cream?"

"I did attend college a few times before there was so much competition to get into the Ivies and I felt as though I was taking away the spot of someone who worked so hard for it. My first experience was at Oxford, which was excellent. I also attended Yale and Harvard, only to learn very similar things, because I attended them so closely together. Then I decided I'd learned enough and that there was more interesting things to do. Oh, and my favorite ice cream is Ben & Jerry's Late Night Snack, because it's kind of a mix of salty and sweet. Have you tried it?" Klaus asked.

"No, I haven't," Caroline replied with a smile. "I'll try it with you sometime."

They continued to sway for a while, quietly holding each other. Caroline, glancing at the clock, realized how late it was. She grabbed Klaus's hands and pulled him toward the bed. He smiled, but shook his head and said, "It's too soon. Trust me, I want to, but I want us to last. And in my many years of observation, I've learned waiting creates a better, longer-lasting relationship."

"I know. That wasn't what I was suggesting. Just come here," Caroline said with a smile.

Klaus laid on the bed and Caroline softly placed her head on his solid chest, rhythmically raising and lowering with his unnecessary breaths.

As Caroline laid there she began to think to herself. She never would have imagined life would have turned out this way. Well, becoming a vampire is pretty unpredictable, but this situation is was just as unlikely in her mind. She was so happy and there wasn't a definite end in the foreseeable future. They could lay like this forever if they wanted to. They were both completely at peace; Caroline could see it in Klaus's eyes and small smile. It was like she had found her missing puzzle piece, her other half of the bumper car token. She made him a better person and he gave her the opportunity to experience the beauty of the world. And with all the places she knew he planned on taking her, no place could be as perfect as her bed in this moment. Well, if they got married, she imagined her wedding day could rival this moment.

Klaus listened to Caroline's soft breaths as she appeared to be lost in thought. She was so beautiful with her shiny curls and smooth curves, neither of which could compare to the utter radiance of her face. He couldn't believe she was actually his. And he now had a new muse. Oh, the art that she would inspire! He couldn't wait for her beauty to be projected on the walls of the Louvre or the Guggenheim. She would be twice immortalized, as only she deserved to be.

Reflecting back and reviewing his life, Klaus could not image a better time. Sure, the twenties were fun with Stefan, but Mikael was still hunting him and he was always on alert. Before he was a vampire, the world was just a more difficult place, and once he was, he rarely got to settle down in one spot. Sure, he loved his siblings and they could be fantastic company, but it couldn't be the same as what he had now. Right now, he felt as if he were in a state of eternal bliss. This was the first time in his entire existence that he felt truly, amazingly happy and he'd do anything to make sure that feeling never went away.

Okay, that's it! Horribly short but, I hope you liked it! I've started writing something new as well, but I want to develop it further before I post it. Thanks so much for reading this, it means a lot to me that people actually do! As usual, love you all and follow me on tumblr at ihidemycrazy if you're crazy about Klaroline. :)
