Okay, this prompt cracked me up and honestly, I feared it was going to sound OOC whoever was going to say it, but for once I’ll let it slide. Thanks for sending me another prompt!
KC + “Slushies aren’t just for kids, fuck society.”
“It’s hot,” Caroline declared, glaring at the sun from behind her sunglasses. “Why is it so hot?” she complained. She was clad in only her blue bikini, lounging next to the pool, but even getting up to jump into the water felt like too much effort right now.
“You’re the one that complained that we had such a cool summer, last week,” Rebekah reminded her. She was lying next to Caroline and was texting her brother to get them some cool drinks from inside the house.
“So it’s my fault we’re in the middle of a heatwave?” Caroline exclaimed. “I said warmer weather, not melting my clothes off hot.”
“Who’s clothes are melting off, and can I watch?” a voice spoke up from behind them and Caroline slowly rolled over to see who it was. Kol and Klaus walked up to the two girls with a pitcher of water with ice.
“OMG GIMME!” Caroline made grabby gestures with her hands and let the comment slide. She didn’t have the energy to argue right now.
“You know you’re going to get burned if you’re going to stay out in the sun much longer, right?” Klaus reminded her while he looked her over. Already he noticed how she was starting to color slightly on her lower back.
“I can’t get up and move!” Caroline complained, “The sun made us lazy and I don’t know where I left my sunscreen.”
Klaus pointedly looked at the bottle that laid in the grass about three feet away from where Caroline and his sister were lying.
“It’s too far,” Caroline stated, looking up at Klaus with a pleading expression. Or at least she hoped that’s how it came across as, with her sunglasses on she couldn’t be sure.
Rebekah meanwhile had taken the pitcher and glasses out of Kol’s hands and started pouring them both a glass of ice cold water. She laid one of the ice cubes on Caroline’s unsuspecting back and laughed when her friend shrieked at the cold sensation. “REBEKAH!” she shrieked and threw the cube back to her.
“Just trying to help you cool off,” Rebekah joked while she took a sip of the water. When she put it down, she noticed Kol’s mischievous grin, “Kol, whatever you have planned, don’t-” before she could finish her protest, he had her gathered in his arms and threw her into the pool.
Klaus and Caroline looked at them when they heard Rebekah yell at Kol but when they noticed she was quickly turning the tables and pulling Kol in the pool as well, they let the siblings be. Caroline turned back to Klaus and noticed how he had gathered her sunscreen. She glanced at him over her sunscreen and held out her hand so he could hand it over her.
“Thank you,” she said while she uncapped the bottle and gathered the lotion on her hands.
“Can’t have you burn now, can we,” Klaus said while he sat down next to her. “We wouldn’t hear the end of it.”
“Again, I can only blame the sun,” Caroline stubbornly said. She looked back at the pool where Rebekah and Kol were still fighting in the water and looked at the bottle of sunscreen, “Uhm can you do my back? Normally I would ask Rebekah but...”
Klaus looked up in surprise and automatically accepted the bottle. He glanced down at Caroline who was lying on her front, facing away from him. He poured some lotion on her back. She shivered at the cool sensation but otherwise didn’t react.
He carefully moved his hands on her back, spreading the lotion and he could hear her hum in response. He was hyper aware of every inch of her that his hands touched while he covered her bare lower back. He quickly stopped when he reached the hem of her bottoms, very conscious that he didn’t accidentally grope the girl. He repeated the actions again, but from her shoulders and down this time. His movements became more firm, and he could hear her moan in response.
“Are you trying to give me a massage as well?” Caroline teased, peaking up from behind her glasses.
“Sorry,” he apologized and slowed his movements. He reached the bands of her bikini top and paused, unsure if he should skip them or move them so he could get beneath them.
“Don’t,” she said, “I liked it.” She moved behind her back and unclasped her bikini. For a moment she thoughts she heard Klaus forget to breathe and she smirked. Good to know he wasn’t immune to her. She only opened the back, so he could apply sunscreen in that area as well, and moved the bands but Klaus’ reaction was an added benefit.
Klaus silently continued applying the sunscreen/massage. He continued with the sides when his fingers accidentally grazed Caroline’s breasts. While they both momentarily still, neither of them mentioned or acknowledged the moment. When not an inch of Caroline wasn’t completely covered with sunscreen, she didn’t tell Klaus to stop and he silently continued until Rebekah and Kol returned.
Kol immediately sprayed cold water on the both of them before he stole Caroline’s towel. He noticed the silence and looked at the two with suspicion. “What have you two been up to?”
“Nothing,” they said simultaneously and Kol narrowed his eyes. “Right, nothing. Then why is Caroline blushing and does my brother look like I just busted him watching porn?”
“It’s the sun. It’s making you see things,” Caroline argued and rolled over, avoiding Klaus’ eyes on her. This was so not the place and company to acknowledge that something had just happened between them. Wait had something happened? What if she was imagining it all, and he just thought he was helping a friend out? But then, if nothing had happened to them, why was he looking like her like she... like she was something edible. Caroline shivered, she needed to get out of here before she dragged him inside so they could talk about this. Or rip each other’s clothes off. She preferred the latter option which just proved how much she needed to cool off.
“I’m going to get ice cream,” Caroline announced while she got up. She looked around for her shorts and pulled them over her bikini bottoms. “Does anyone want anything?”
“Buy the rocky road ice cream!” Rebekah said and Caroline nodded at her.
“A blueberry slushie and some chocolate ice cream,” Kol said. Caroline looked surprised at his order but nodded nonetheless. Who was she to question his choices?
“You haven’t had a slushie since you were a kid,” Rebekah said surprised, “Aren’t they for kids anyway?”
“Slushies aren’t just for kids, fuck society,” Kol muttered dejectedly.
Rebekah and Caroline shared an amused expression before the latter turns to Klaus. “Do you- do you want something, Klaus?” Her voice shivered and she wished the question didn’t sound so suggestive.
“I haven’t decided yet,” Klaus said while he looked to be pondering over his ice cream choices. “I’ll walk with you,” he told her, “Maybe I just need to know my options first.”
“Oh,” she glanced at Rebekah and Kol. It’s not like she could refuse him, or could explain why she wanted to go on her own. Instead, she nodded, “Okay, let’s go,” she announced and walked in front of him. She glanced behind him, to check if he was following her and caught his eyes on her ass. She bit her lip and looked away. So she definitely hadn’t imagined that attraction...
“So... what are you unsure about?” Caroline asked when were on the street. He looked confused so she clarified, “Your options, you weren’t sure what you would pick... so what are you undecided between?”
“Whether I should kiss you or if I should take you on a date first,” Klaus told her. She froze next to him in astonishment.
“I meant ice cream choices... but um yes, that’s also a tough one,” she agreed and bit her lip to hide the smile on her face.
“So... which has your preference?” Caroline tried and glanced at him while they continue to walk to the store.
“Ice cream flavors?” Klaus tried, hoping he could steer the conversation away from his confession.
“The ‘me’ thing,” Caroline agreed. “I mean if you like, I could help... Since I’m involved in this dilemma anyway.” He nodded so she continued. “How about... you kiss me, and then ask me out,” she opted.
“Would you say yes?” Klaus asked, not sure how he fell into this conversation.
“I suppose that depends on how good the kiss is,” Caroline joked. Klaus stopped walking so she paused next to him. “I mean if it’s bad, we both-” She got interrupted by Klaus’ mouth on hers. She gasped in surprise and opened her mouth to him. Their lips moved against each other, while their tongues tangled together before Caroline broke their kiss.
“Was that bad?” Klaus asked, his forehead leaning against Caroline’s.
“Hmm, you might need to do it again so I can make a good decision,” Caroline smiled and moved in for another kiss.
“So is that a yes?” Klaus asked, momentarily stopping her.
“Yes,” she breathed out before their lips met again. She was definitely going on that date with Klaus, but first, they should kiss. She decided right here and then that kissing Klaus might just become her favorite thing in the world. All thoughts about ice cream and slushies were long forgotten. Kol and Rebekah would live.
I don’t even know how that prompt made me write this drabble, but hey it’s here and I blame the sun :P Hope you liked it regardless of the fact that Kol never got his slushie!
