You never thought it’d end. The fight against Vecna seemed like a never ending story. But after fight after fight, and loss after loss. It was finally over. Though you never stopped looking over your shoulder. 

 Eleven’s gone and the kids aren’t kids anymore, meaning you and Steve were no longer the elected babysitters. And your heart couldn’t help but tighten at the feeling. Aside from the bi-weekly visit from Mike and very many phone calls from max, Dustin, Lucas, and will, you missed them so much. 

 Steve got a job, a good job, working as a coach/sex ed teacher at Hawkins middle. You began working as an intern at the hospital after graduating college. But as of right now you were home, nesting and trying every way to finally push yourself into labor.

 The timer dinged, pulling you out of your daydream, nostalgia hitting you like a freight train. You hadn’t even noticed the tears rolling down your eyes. 

You glanced at the clock on the wall, it read 4:32.

Meaning Steve would be home any minute, and just in time for dinner. 

 You stood up slowly, back slightly aching from the weight of the baby girl in your stomach. Sighing you glanced down at your rounded belly “think it’s time to come into the real world missy?” You asked. 

Speaking to your baby was something that you’d grow to love, especially when Steve was working and you were left alone with your thoughts. 

 You waddled your way to the kitchen, throwing on a pair of mitts and grabbing the steaming hot pan of lasagna that was way too much for you and Steve to consume. You closed the oven, pulling off the mitts and tossing them to the side with a sigh. 

 You were still getting used to not cooking for at least three more growing teenagers plus yourself and Steve. “Jesus…” you muttered. 

 You heard the front door open and you perked up a little, feeling better now that Steve was home. “In here!” You shouted before Steve could ask where you were. About ten seconds later he entered the kitchen, hair messy from his cap and shirt slightly wrinkled from his jacket. 

 He wore a huge smile on his face as he reached out for you “hey baby” he grabbed your hand gently pulling you towards him so he could place a kiss to you’re forehead, then move down to your lips. 

 Your body visibly relaxed, making Steve pull away from the kiss, hands absentmindedly moving to your belly. “Hard day?” He asked quietly. You huffed a tired laugh “just reminiscing. Plus I should be asking you that Mr. Harrington” you pressed another kid to his lips. 

 Steve smiled again, a lot more gentle than before “it was a good day, kids were bugging me about their next game. They suck but they have heart.” He joked, making you snort and gently smack his chest. 

 He glanced behind you for a split second, smile growing even more as his hazel eyes met yours once again. “Made too much again?” He asked. You sighed, head falling to his chest, making him laugh as his hands move to your hips. 

 “I’ve been cooking for them for so long now it feels wrong to make so little” your throat tightens, tears filling your eyes with sadness. Steve’s face falls, glancing back to the doorway when he hears a chair scrape against the floor and whispers immediately following. He huffs in disbelief ‘they had one job’ he thought.

 Your head immediately lifts from his chest and you look past him. Seeing nothing you looked back at him and he wore a guiltily look “did you invite someone?” You asked with a raised eyebrow. 

“Maybe?” His voice raised an octave. You sighed, glancing down to your clothes, you hadn’t been prepared for guests and that meant you hadn’t gotten ready yourself.

Steve, immediately knowing where your mind was, put his finger under your chin to make you look at him again, “hey, no no don’t worry about that. Why don’t you go say hi to our guests and I’ll bring out the food.” 

 You wanted to argue but Steve had cut you off before you could start “mm mm nope. Just trust me.” He gave you a look. You sighed, and he pressed another kiss to your forehead before giving you an encouraging nod. 

 With that you waddled away from him and out of the kitchen glancing in the living room, noticing it was empty before your eyes landed on the dining room. Each chair occupied by very familiar heads of hair. 

 They all turned to you, proud smiles on their faces before glancing down at your very noticeable belly. Your eyes filled with tears, at the sight of them all grown up. Max and Will were the firsts to stand up and greet you. 

 “Jeez we leave for five months and you're already about to pop” max jokes wrapping her arms around you. Will laughs at max’s joke as he approaches “you look amazing though” his arms wrap around you. 

 You melt into their hugs and sob not being able to help the happiness overwhelming you. Will and max move away making room for Dustin, Lucas, and Mike. 

 Dustin almost tackles you just as Steve walks out with the food you’d prepared “hey, careful asshole don’t sneak her into labor” and you laugh in response shaming your head as you hug them back “no please do actually, my backs had enough of this extra weight” 

 “It’s good to see you happy” Lucas whispers into your ear while hugging, it made you hug tighter.  When they pull away you wipe your cheeks, though it did absolutely nothing because the tears immediately replaced the ones you wiped away.

 “Gosh it’s so good to see you guys” you say, sniffling. They smile back at you, and Steve claps “okay let’s dig in before it gets cold” 

You nod in agreement moving back to the kitchen to get plates and utensils but Mike stops you “don’t worry I got it, you sit and rest your back” 

 you thank him before moving to sit in one of the extra chairs Steve had pulled to the table immediately turning to them “so what's new since the last time we talked” you asked no one in particular and because of that they all began talking at the same time. You laughed at the familiarity, as Mike came and sat plates and utensils in the middle of the table beside the lasagna.

 Everyone grabbed their respective plates and dug in. Max gossiping about this girl who wouldn’t stop hitting on Lucas, “and she does it right in my face like I'm not even there” she pokes at her food a bit harshly making Lucas grab her hand in support. You and Steve smile at each other, “she sounds like an asshole” Dustin comments as he takes a bite. Max rolls her eyes “she’s a bitch is what she is” she says, and you repress the urge to tell her to watch her language. 

Soon after will lets it be known that he found a boyfriend, making the table rattle with cheers and ‘whoop’s from his friends and yourself. you place a hand on his shoulder “congratulations will, im happy for you” you say, he blushes ears burning at the praise. 

 Mike then goes into detail about the book he’d been writing about the adventures of the party which made you tear up. Steve placing a gentle hand on your thigh for comfort. 

 Dustin told you about a new girl he was seeing, making Steve perk up “told you it’d work I’m a professional man” he said gesturing to you. The kids groaned in disgust “dude gross and by the way your advise was literally no help”

 You giggled at Steve’s offended look Lucas nodded “yeah no offense but your flirting tactics are way outdated.” Mike and max nodded in agreement.

Will perked up with a smile “y/n’s however…” he trailed off and the table cheered once again.

 It wasn’t long before everyone had finished eating and Max volunteered to wash the dishes for a change. You had all migrated to the living room still talking about everything and nothing at all. Max joined you not long after and you sat like that for hours. Laughing, catching up and making new memories. 

 Your heart was so full of love, from Steve for setting this up, for everyone else who had gone out of their way to make you happy. But your heart dropped when the couch beneath you was suddenly soaked.

 You looked down at your lap, catching the attention of Steve who almost choked, and that caught the attention of the kids who all went silent. 

 “Holy shit”

Sam Winchester. The known, and feared demon hunter Sam Winchester was pouting. Dean's eyebrows furrowed "Dude. Are you pouting?" He sounded disgusted

Sam looked over at him like a deer caught in headlights "Wha- no" he denied, but the uptick in his voice said otherwise.

Dean couldn't hide his shocked expression "Yeah, whatever-" he waved it off and returned to his original thought but in the back of his mind he confirmed. Sam Winchester definitely pouts.

Sam let out a released breath because he in fact had been pouting. He hated the thought that you had to go and possibly flirt with an asshole just to get information from the guy.

The next time he's caught pouting it's by Bobby. Which is somehow worse than Dean. This time it was because the two of you had a small disagreement about your capabilities.

At least that's how you'd taken it. Sam had been worried about you being sent off to torch bones on the other side of the large and very haunted estate.

He knew you could take care of yourself he'd seen you smite three demons all on your own just to save his ass. But it never stopped the worry.

You gave him a piece of your mind when he volunteered to go find the newfound missing girl that had just been right behind you, instead of you. And then you went anyway.

While they were waiting inside the salted room, Bobby happened to look over at Sam, noticing how quiet he'd been, and scoffed in disbelief at what he saw.

Sam is sitting with his arms folded and pouting like a child.

"Oh come on she's got you poutin' on the job? What's next you kiss the ground she walks on"

"He already does that. You should see him when she falls asleep with her head on his shoulder. Man's whipped" Dean added his (in Sam's opinion) unnecessary commentary.

Sam rolled his eyes because they were being stupid. Winchesters don't pout. Especially not during a job. But Sam was pouting.

He's a grown, 6'4, widely feared hunter and he was pouting.

What the hell is happening to him?

The last time he had been caught was the worst because it had been by you. Dean had gone out to do whatever Dean does in his free time and you and Sam had stayed in your shared motel.

You were lying in Sam's lap, magazine in hand while Sam flipped through channels on the t.v.

You had been so engrossed in the latest celebrity gossip that you rarely had the chance to catch up on that you hadn't acknowledged when Sam had muttered three heavy words.

There was a pang in Sam's chest when seconds of silence passed after he muttered the words. Which it's not like he hadn't said them to you before. He had, hundreds of times.

But usually, every time you would mutter back 'I love you more Sammy' and the words would ease any doubt or pain that he had been feeling.

But you didn't this time. This time you flipped the page and gasped when you saw that Angelina and Brad Pitt had divorced.

So Sam couldn't help when his lips had downturned, or when his eyebrows found company in one another. As his brain wracked itself to see if he had done something- anything to make you angry.

But when you lifted your head up to look at him, preparing to say something to him your face fell. "What's wrong?" Your voice came out soft and quiet.

Sam felt embarrassed, because he knows you love him. Everybody knows, but he couldn't help it. "You didn't-" he pauses, feeling absolutely absurd, he sighed ticking his jaw. "You didn't say I love you back" he muttered.

You blinked at him once. Twice. Three times.

A hint of a smile began growing on your lips, and Sam's heart dropped. Before you could stop it a full smile grew and you let out a delighted laugh, repositioning yourself on his lap.

You're now sitting up and facing him, a shit-eating smile on your face, Sam groaned his head falling back, thudding gently against the headboard "Oh god" he sighs.

"Aw! Oh my goodness, Sam." You grabbed his face dramatically, punctuating each word with kisses "I'm-" kiss "so-" kiss "sorry!"

Sam's face reddens, but he can't deny the sudden feeling of pleasure that coursed through him. He laughs through the kisses, each one in a different spot. One on his cheek, one on his nose, one on his forehead, a sneaky one on his neck, a final one on his lips.

Sam couldn't stop smiling long enough to kiss you back, and you knew that. Your hands moved to his hair as you separated, you gave him the smile that caught him by his heart "I'm sorry baby. I love you too." you said earnestly.

Sam's head cocked to the side, it was his turn to be a little shit "Are you sure? I'm not really convin-" You shot off of his lap, running to your bag "Where are you going?" He calls after you.

You smiled, "Getting my lipstick, gonna show you my lovin' baby" you joked "you look cute when you pout by the way" you said as you sat back down on his lap.

Sam scoffs watching you apply the bright lipstick "I don't pout"

"You absolutely do, but like I said it's cute. Don't worry I won't tell the ghosts"

One morning you had been awake for about thirty minutes, admiring the man who inserted on nurturing his face into your chest because in his own words he can't sleep any other way.

You loved to run your fingers through his hair which had previously been buzzed but he'd promised last time he cut it that he would grow it out a little longer after you told him that you missed his long hair.

you hadn't noticed Rafe beginning to stir until his deep, sleep ridden voice rang though your ears "mm that feels good"

Your heart flutters at the sound you blink looking at him again, you can't see much but the curve of his nose and the slight outline of his lips from the angle your looking from but it's enough for you.

"I know baby" you say as if you were talking to a baby.

Rafe peeked his eyes open, lifting his head to look at you like you'd just offended his entire bloodline. "The fuck was that?" He asked sounding irritated.

Your eyebrows cinch, blinking a few times at his sudden sharp gaze. "What was what" you asked wracking your brain to see if you had accidentally said something wrong.

His nose scrunched and lip curled in disgust "that fuckin voice"

"What voice?" You asked still very confused.

Rafe looked like you had grown two heads "the fuckin baby voice? Don't do that"

Then it hits you, you did baby voice him. You weren't sure why it came out that way but you didn't even really notice it.

 And against your will your lips curled into smile "oh I'm sorry baby" you out on a fake pout enunciating the baby voice.

Rafe backs away from you like you'd just burned him "what the fuck? Stop that shit" he stood up from the bed trying to get as far away from you as possible.

A laugh slipped past your lips as you got off the bed "ok, ok I'm done." You reached your out to him as you approached.

He eyed you skeptically, then his eyes wandered down to your silk clad body that had left barely anything to the imagination the skepticism melted away.

He reached out pulling you close to him by your hips, your chest colliding with his toned bare chest. He groaned "god y'so fuckin pretty baby" he put his head on your shoulder as if trying to contain himself and the smile grew back on your face as an idea popped into your head.

You grabbed his face, gently turning it to yours. You leaned in about to connect your lips, but just before they connected you stopped "Awh poor Rafey-" "oh for fucks sake" he all but shouts leaving the room entirely and you followed giggling so hard Rafe had to stop himself from smiling.

 But of course you didn't stop there. Nope. It had been a few days since you'd found his new pet peeve. You weren't gonna wear it out so fast, but you couldn't help yourself.

You'd been waiting for the perfect moment to bring it out again, and it showed itself when the two of you got invited out to dinner with topper and his new girlfriend who surprisingly you'd become friends with.

Elise had been showing you pictures of her niece and your heart was absolutely melting at the sight of the adorable baby on the screen, you tapped rafes thigh, turning his attention from the menu to you the voice just happens and you don't stop it "Rafe look how cute he is his big green eyes"

His eyes immediately narrow on you and you hold back a smile. "Isn't he cute" you ask.

Rafes jaw clenches "yeah. Real cute." He responds dryly. You smile coyly returning the phone back to Elise before continuing the conversation, feeling rage's glare on you for at least a minute.

You don't pull it again u til later that night, you have Rafe above you kissing down your chest, groping at your ass. You always love the way his lips feel on your skin. But you can't shake off the need to be mischievous, you arch into him. Your hips hit his lower stomach and he groans.

"feels so good Rafe"

He freezes completely. Saying nothing as he just backs away from you completely "fuck this I'm goin to take a shower" he mutters irritated.

You laugh, loving how much you can irritate him. You grab his wrist pulling him back down on top of you. He doesn't resist but the look on his face says that you have one more time to irritate him. Eyes narrowed and nostrils flared just the smallest bit, jaw clenched in the way that made your mind go numb. You weren't about to test that.

"Ok I'm done baby" you say finally. To seal it you press a tender kiss to his lips. He leans into it turning the kiss feverish as his tongue dances with yours in your mouth.

You definitely weren't done but Rafe knows that.

Mikael hated you, the idea of you even being close with his children drove him up the wall. He'd never hurt you. Physically. But there were times he came close. His hatred for you, and Klaus drove the two of you together, closer than anything and anyone.

Klaus took multiple beatings on your behalf, and there was a time you came close to killing Mikael in his sleep only to be stopped by Elijah and his nobility.

You were a witch, learning under Esther with Kol, you were strong. Esther had told you the death of your parents had fueled the magic in your veins, (but you knew it was the urge and restraint you held to keep from murdering her husband in cold blood) which added to the reason she inevitably turned you, along with her five children.

When you turned you were angry- upset that they had taken that choice of humanity away from you. From all of you. Klaus was the only one who matched your anger. The others had lost their humanity, but you- you lost the most important part of your being. The only reminisce of your parents you had left. Kol himself lost his magic but he was easily satisfied with becoming a vampire- though he and you reminisced often about practicing your magic together.

You'd always been close with Kol- the two of you found solace in magic and the feeling of it in your veins. It was only a few years later when you realized the feeling never left it was just numbed out- humming quietly in your body waiting to be rediscovered.

That's when you had become the original siphoner. A magic wielding vampire. You came to realize it was rare as you turned more and more witches and very rarely had they had the same outcome as you. You'd even tried to teach Kol- only feeling bad for getting his hopes up about possibly getting his magic back.

Klaus had been the most happy for you, even going as far as to throw a celebratory feast which you knew was overdoing things but you let the man do as he pleased. It was the first time in a long time that your family had anything to celebrate and it was fun and enjoyable seeing everyone happy for you.

But that night had only confirmed one thing- you'd fallen in love with NiKlaus Mikaelson. It was more of a dangerous realization than anything, because you were almost positive he did not feel the same way. It was only confirmed more so when you watched him fall in and out of love.

Each girl leaving him more hurt and damaged than the last.

But you'd reached your breaking point when you arrived in mystic falls and he’d fallen again for the bubbly blonde with blue eyes and a pearly smile.

"Oh please don't tell me your planning the death of the poor girl" Rebekah spoke as she approached where you stood watching (and listening) Klaus and Caroline have a deep heartfelt conversation. Well on his part at least.

"Like you'd miss her" you scoffed jokingly. Rebekah smiled nudging your shoulder "you didn't let me finish, please don't tell me your planning the death of the poor girl… without me" her voice lowered sinisterly. You chuckled before taking a swig of wine out of your glass. "She's playing him like a fiddle and he doesn't even care"

"Well he fancies her"

"Well he's an idiot. One look at Barbie and he's ready to risk his life. Literally"

The life that you'd save without a thought. You avert your eyes away from the sight, but you can still hear Caroline's giggles ring through your ears leaving you to sit in your bitter jealousy.

Rebekah sighs. She's watched this dance over and over again throughout their lives, each time only a slight difference than the last but having the same outcome at the end.

"Well for one I don't understand what you see in him. I think Elijah would be the better bet."

You scoff "I don't want Elijah, Elijah doesn't want me. I want Klaus and he wants Caroline"

She sighs looking at her patio of an older brother only to see him looking away from them and back to Caroline. She tilts her head and shakes it off. "Let's go" she put her hand around your shoulder and led you away "My brothers an idiot and if i were a man you and I'd have been married centuries ago"

And you don't doubt that she or… he- would've.

When the day came that Kol. Your best friend that had been locked away for a hundred years had been un daggered it felt like a weight off your shoulders.

You'd just come home from being away because you felt no need to get in between the Salvatore brothers and Klaus and Elijah you'd rather not deal with the ego induced headache you're sure they'd give you.

You walked in the house and it suddenly went quiet making your stomach drop. You felt the magic come to surface ready to protect yourself if need be "nik? Elijah?" You called out as you made your way into the living room, stopping in your tracks when the familiar faces of the daggerd Mikaelsons stood in front of you.

You let out a small gasp "oh my-" you were cut off when a body slammed into yours with such force it knocked you off of your feet luckily he kept the balance for you. You hugged back happily prolud to finally have your best friend back

"Kol"

"Hello darling"

What you missed was the simmering jealousy on Klaus' face. He wasn't ready to watch you fall for his brother.

Not again.

When you were getting dressed Klaus approached you "you look magnificent"

You smirked " i could say the same to you" you took in his attire. You loved when he dressed up. It always added to his big bad wolf aura.

"Any special suitors i should worry about?"

You scoffed at the question as if he didn't already know "you know better than anyone that i'd never give anyone the pleasure"

Klaus' lips pursed, looking down at his shiny black dress shoes. "Well do save me a dance if you'll be so kind" he smiled at you

You rolled your eyes jokingly "as if anyone else would dare approach me for one" you joked. Pausing for a moment before asking "will Caroline be joining us this evening?" You tried to keep your voice even, as if the possible answer wouldn't crush your soul.

"I suppose that'll be up to her. Why not let Kol take you. Seems that you two have gotten quite close again"

You smiled at his question struggling with the clasp of your necklace "I'm sure Kol has whipped himself up a date with his newfound freedom. Help please?"

Klaus immediately stepped closer, gently taking the necklace from your grasp and clasping it himself "I'm not so sure love. But if you do end completely alone feel free to steal me away from anyone id be happy to dance with you. As long as you don't step on my toes" He joked referring to the time he tried to teach you to dance when you were younger, you had a hard avoiding his feet.

The reminder made you roll your eyes biting back a smile. He smoothed the necklace against your neck adjusting it so it laud perfectly symmetrical in the middle of your chest.

He kissed the back of your neck "Enjoy your night Love"

You felt sick to your stomach watching Klaus and Caroline dance around, on her neck one of the old jewels Klaus owned. You felt like an idiot most times. You're an attractive woman and you could get anyone you wanted if you tried. Which you hadn't been doing. But trying felt like a lie when the only man you wanted was pursuing every woman but you.

"Penny for your thoughts? However do be warned if i hear my brothers name I'll rip his head from his shoulders"

You smiled hearing the smirk in his voice "hello to you too Kol" you turned to look at him. He was dressed to the nines as everyone else had been. "No date?" You questioned. He shrugged "women are even more of a mystery now than they were centuries ago" he stated.

You laughed "please don't tell me you're having a hard time keeping the attention of a woman- that was your specialty"

He rolled his eyes "i came over to talk about you not me. Still pining after my brother i see."

"Please you know it's never gonna stop. If it was it would've a thousand years ago."

Kol looked up- noticing Klaus' eyes on them and he smirked to himself. He held out his hand "Care to dance? Neither of us have a date and who better to dance with?"

You looked at him nodding in agreement, your gloved hand then rested in his gently and gracefully because the setting called for it.

But to Klaus it felt like trouble seeing you and Kol together again. It was no secret to anyone in the Mikaelson Family (just Klaus) that Kol harbored a crush on you. Klaus never knew if you had returned his feelings because you'd never tell him who you were attracted to.

And given just how close you and Kol had been before Klaus daggered him and how angry you were after he had done so Klaus was afraid he'd lost you because he was more scared of losing you than manning up and telling you about his feelings.

It felt idiotic to water down the feelings he held for you to a word as simple as feelings- or love. No what he felt was deeper than that than any word he could find in any dictionary in any language.

So seeing you laugh and giggle with Kol made his blood boil as he resisted the urge to ruin the entire party and lodge that dagger right back into his brother once again. But instead he made his way over to the two of you- planning to take you away from him entirely but he stopped when he heard the low words of his brother.

"-i always knew it was meant to be. After all i know you better than anyone on the planet." that was all he heard before Elijah appeared in front of him "our mother is up to something"

Klaus barley acknowledged him but when he looked back towards you and Kol to find nothing. The two of you were gone leaving him with the lingering sound of his own brother trying to woo you.

"Yes well so is our brother so if you would excuse me" he moved past Elijah who stood confused and deeply irritated.

"What was that?" You questioned Kol who dragged you away from the party. He gave you a confused look "what was what?" You gave him an impatient look not in the mood for his games.

"You say how me and nik were 'meant to be' and then drag me from the party? Does that ring any bells?"

He frowned likely was deep in thought "nope"

"Kol" you said warningly.

"Alright alright. I'm sick of seeing you and my brother orbit around each other so i did something about it. Simple." He wore a proud smile.

You looked at him with squinted eyes "what the hell are you on about."

He smiled to himself "i think my job here is done" he kissed your forehead "Enjoy your night sweetheart" he winked before disappearing

Now it was your turn to stand confused in the middle of the excessively huge backyard that Klaus himself had mentioned how much he loved so you loved it too.

You sighed to yourself not knowing what else to do with the night. You were not in the mood to go back in there and watch Klaus giggle and flirt with Caroline and Kol had left you without much of an explanation.

"What kind of a gentleman leaves a woman such as yourself alone outside"

His voice gave you goosebumps.

"I suppose keeping him daggered for as long as you did his manners must've lost their way" you joked.

You felt his breath on the back of your neck. And you resisted the urge to lean back into his warmth.

Klaus' chest tightened at your words 'keeping him daggerd for as long as you did' to him it was an accusation. Not a joke.

"If i knew how much it bothered you i wouldve undone it a long time ago." He said, voice tight and rigid.

At that you turned to look at him with confusion "Klaus i made it very clear how i felt about you daggering anyone" you tilted your head with a small unbelieving smile.

Klaus' eyes pierced through you and the wind that flowed through the night air added to the intensity of his stare. "Yet never did you tell me to undo it. I would've given you your love back if it made you so happy."

"My lo- nik what are you on about-"

"Kol i would've given him back to you. No matter what he did or would've done to me. I'd give you the world if you'd ask for it"

Your heart stopped in your chest. This whole time- did he think this whole time you were in love with his brother.

"Nik-"

"All you had to do was tell me. I've seen how happy you've been since he came back. I haven't seen you laugh like that in decades."

You grab his hand "Niklaus Mikealson." You spoke with finality "I am not in love with your brother you idiot" you huffed a laugh at the sound of it. "If that is truly what you think then you are a blind man"

He wasn't sure if he was offended or confused at your words. "Do not lie-"

"Do not use that tone with me. When have i ever lied to you Nik? Ever."

He paused at your words because of how true they were. You'd never lied to him- not once you'd always been an open book.

"You've not sought affection from a man since he was daggered and when he was you were so angry i thought you'd finally had enough and leave"

You wanted to hit him or push him. Something to knock some sense into him "Because the man i truly want never blinks in my direction"

Klaus pauses- looking at you like you hit him with a brick.

"Your an idiot NiKlaus Mikealson." You've push him but he only takes a step back "I've yearned for you for centuries. Your laugh, your touch, your gaze. I want it all to myself but you offer it to everyone but me. I stay by your side through every woman every heartbreak and every betrayal hoping that you will finally see that i am here"

There's tears in his eyes when you finish, and you're positive they're in yours too. Your breath is heavy and your heart is racing as you watch your words register on his face.

You bite your lip waiting impatiently for him to say something. "Please say something" you plead

"You- all this time… oh love" his head fell to your shoulder. He grabbed your waist "Love- I'm so sorry- all these years you've-" he cut himself off, now feeling hatred towards himself. He could only imagine what seeing him fall in and out of love did to you.

All because he had convinced himself that he wasn't forth your time- that you were in love with his brother that you'd never blinks his way. Not like that. But this whole time…

"I love you- so much and I'm sorry- i- i cant even imagine what… forgive me, My Love please forgive me" He was the most genuine you'd ever seen him and looked one wrong breath away from dropping to his knees.

"I never hated you nik- of course it hurt… But i'd deal with it a thousand times over to hear you say those three words again"

You said nothing more because as soon as you finished Klaus' lips were on yours and your body flush against his own. His lips were soft- as soft as you expected them to be. His hand became at home on your neck and his thumb brushed your jaw as his other hand placed on your lower back held you close.

The kiss felt like a breath of air that you've been depraved from for far too long. "Nik- take me home" you pleaded. Your tone gentle and hinting.

He looked you in your eyes- searching both of them for any hint that you weren't meaning it how he thought. But when you looked back at him- gaze unwavering he knew right then. He knew.

"Whatever you want love"

When he got you home he wasted no time beginning to ravish you. "I've longed for you for centuries My Love. Let me show you all my mind has conjured"

You wrapped your hand around his tie- pilling him closer to you "Please show me" you spoke into his ear. He almost buckled at the sound of your lust blown voice and the feeling of your breath on his neck.

He let out a low groan as his hand trailed up your back to the zipper of your dress. "Can i see you love?" He asked huskily before he did anything.

You nodded in response, Klaus smirked wickedly "i need words dove"

"Yes nik please" you begged resisting the urge to stomp like a child. Klaus chuckled "your wish is my command" he whispered and began to slowly pull the zipper down causing it to slightly tickle your back.

You let out a breath when his hands traveled back up to the straps of the dress- grabbing them with a feather light touch he looked at you again for permission- instead of answering you pressed your lips to his once again.

This time the kiss was needy with heated breaths and wandering hands. It was only when the dress slipped from your body draping around your feet like a halo did he pull away. His heated eyes scoured your body as if trying to commit it to his memory.

His hands wandered with minds of their own. His touch felt like heaven every press of his skin to yours made the feeling in your lower stomach bloom."Bloody hell love… i adore you" he mumbled as his lips pressed heatedly to your throat.

You moaned quietly at the feeling "Come on nik let me see you" you clawed at his dress shirt. Klaus smirked against the skin of your neck and you felt it making you his his chest "oh come on don't get cocky now"

"You haven't seen cocky love- but as I said. Your wish is my command" he kissed you again before undressing himself, leaving nothing on but his underwear.

You eyed him unashamed, resisting the urge to lick at his tattoos that you'd always loved a little more than you should've.

You smiled, biting your lip as you grabbed his hand and leading him to his bed "come to bed with me"

Klaus followed without hesitation.

You allowed yourself to fall onto the bed and gestured for him to follow. He did, he crawled to where he was hovering over you, blue eyes piercing and lust blown "I'm going to ravish you, make up for all the lost time"

"We'll get to work. Lost time isn't gonna make up for itself."

Klaus smiled dimples on full display "I thought I was the cocky one" he laughed, then began his work.

He made himself comfortable between your legs, fingers playing with the hem of your lacy black panties as he kissed your chest right above where your matching bra started.

"I need you love" his hand snaked around your back and unclipped your bra with aching accuracy. "You have me nik- all of me it's yours" you assured breathlessly arching into his touch.

He discarded the bra without a care and his eyes rolled to the back of his head when he saw what was underneath "I've been depriving myself from heaven" he muttered before taking a nipple in his mouth.

You never knew how sensitive your breast could be until he was the one touching and sucking on them. You gasped at the feeling of pure need it gave you. "Jesus nik"

Which seemed to urge him to do more because he suddenly moved on to the other one as his hands began to tease your inner thighs like he was trying to send you up the wall.

"Do you plan to tease me to death 'cause it sure feels like it"

Klaus gave you a look "you're bold tonight"

"I'm needy tonight. You've made me wait a thousand years forgive me if I'm a tad impatient"

Klaus nips at your breast "I'm sorry love, forgive me" he mutters against your skin as he moves down your body kissing as he goes leaving each part of your skin on fire.

"I'll give you what you want. Anything. Just tell me."

He watches you eyes on yours as he waits for your answer, however his hands still wander with minds of their own almost like he can't control them.

"I want- i need you to fuck me… love me give it all to me please"

Klaus audibly groaned at your words, he never thought he'd hear them from you and now here you were half naked underneath him begging him to touch you and he couldn't be more fulfilled.

He freed himself from his briefs, tossing them to the side before moving to remove your panties, he paused for a second taking a mental snapshot of how sinfully graceful you looked before he removed them.

In the blink of an. Eye they were gone and Klaus fingers began to make themselves at home between your legs, you felt the tip of his finger graze your clit making you whine. At that he added more pressure, circling your clit with steady expertise.

"Yes- thank you"

He watched intently at the way your body responded to his touch. His finger began to teeter at your hole experimentally "you're so wet love. Is it because of me?"

You scoffed, having enough of his teasing, you flipped the two of you over. Now you were on top and klaus was taken aback. You smirked down at him leaning to place a kiss to his lips "you're too much talk and not enough do"

You began grinding your heat against his hard cock. He groaned in response his hands finding themselves on your hips squeaking so tight if you were human you were sure you'd bruise.

"Mmm see that's so mush better right?" You ask licking a strip up his neck right under his hear "bloody hell love i never took you for the type"

"You're love is in need and your torturing her"

"my apologies, please take what you need I'm yours to claim"

And you did. Without another second you reached down and lined his member up with your hole making sure to coat him with your juices before you began to sink onto him.

"Fuck nik" you whined letting your head fall to his chest, nik threw his head back against the pillow below him "fucking hell"

Once you'd taken him fully you had to wait a moment to adjust to him, and you could feel him twitching inside of you, nudging a spot you had no idea it existed. Your hips moved involuntarily shifting him just right inside of you.

Klaus pulled you so that your bodies were flush against each other your head in his chest as he started moving his hips to match your pace. "You feel so good love better than i ever imagined" klaus muttered in your ear

The only acknowledgement he got from you was the fluttering of your walls around him making him tense so he wouldn't jerk into you like a madman. He pulled you up to his lips again. Lips moving in sync, his tongue slipped into your mouth.

Your bodies knew each other long before they felt each other and now it was like a dance you both knew the steps to without practicing.

He knew exactly how to move his hips to reach that perfect spot within you- he knew the best place to kiss on your neck to make you go weak in the knees.

His hand slithered down between the two of you landing right on your clit multiplying your pleasure by a tenfold "oh my- yes yes" you mumbled, trembling with pleasure.

Klaus began to move faster, his low groans vibrating through you "you are heaven sent" he said against your skin.

His teeth grazed your shoulder and his eyes began to change into those gold one he'd fight so hard to find.

"Does it feel good baby?" You mutter sweetly to him. He let out a harsh breath "don't" he warned

But you were bold and high off oh him so you didn't listen "do it, do it, do it" you urged him.

He closed his eyes at the pleasure and the sound of you begging him to do things that no one else would dare beg for.

"Please nik it'll feel so good"

That was all he needed to sink his teeth into your shoulder. The pain was easy to overlook when mixed with the pleasure he was providing abt the feeling of your blood leaving your body as such a high pace.

Klaus groaned, overwhelmed by you. Your touch, your smell, your taste.

His body jerked against yours, his high making a fast approach, and so was yours.

When he removed himself from you and you got a look at him in his natural state that was all it took to throw you over the edge.

"Oh fu-" you cut yourself off. The pleasure was so overwhelming it had never felt like that before. Your body jerked against his and you felt him release inside of you finally adding to the pleasure.

Klaus found immense pleasure in your pleasure, the airy look on your face as you rode out your high, using him as your puppet he could die a happy man then and there. But he wasn't dying. Not now- not after he finally got you.

After everything calmed and your hearts began to return to their normal pace Klaus kissed your neck again where he had bitten, though now it was fully healed the blood still remained.

"Thank you" you muttered against his skin.

"I should be thanking you after allowing me to have you after all these years" he replied.

You lifted your head from his chest "you can't blame yourself for things you had no idea about"

He sighed "I didn't know how you felt- but I knew how I felt and I should've been a man about it instead making you suffer all these years"

"No but I didn't say anything either- so I'm just as at fault as you. We're both adults afraid of losing the one constant in our lives"

He said nothing- but his eyes said everything.

"That doesn't matter now anyway. We're here now together and nothings going to change that ever" you laid back on his chest wrapping your arms around his neck.

That was one thing he agreed with. Nothing was going to separate the two of you. Not now especially.

"Sleep now love. I've got you. Now and forever."

Kill those beasts and risk you losing your life. Or let them go and save your life.

The sound of your faint heartbeat boomed in his ears as he made his decision.

He decided to save your life.

He picked up your near lifeless bloodied body off of the ground "it's alright love, I've got you"

He bit his wrist, feeding you his blood just before your heart went silent with finality. He could only hope you took to his blood.

He rushed home with you in his arms, not letting anyone stop him until he reached his own bedroom. He placed you gently on his bed, before closing and locking the door.

He wouldn't let anyone else see you in such a state. He grabbed a towel and bowl of water setting it at his bedside table before carefully sitting next to your motionless body.

He wiped the blood from your face, fire burning under his skin at the thought of someone being capable of such monstrous things.

"I promise I will avenge you" he whispered.

He didn't know why he cared so much, he didn't know that he could still care so much. But he did.

After cleaning you of any blood, and tenderly wrapping your wounds, angry he couldn't do more for your bruises he left the room to go search for you a dress.

That's when you had awaken. The first thing you noticed was that you could see one hundred times better than before. Every speck of dust floating in the candle lit bedroom. The next was how loud it was.

You heard unfamiliar voices echoing in your ears, though you were sure no one was nearby.

Then it hit you. The memory. The feeling. You could feel the gravel under your skin and your knees scraping the concrete. The sound of them. Laughing.

And it was right then you noticed the room you were in. It was unfamiliar to you bet extremely… luxurious. You knew for a fact it couldn't have belonged to any of the men who…

So who's was it?

Your feet planted on the ground and immediately your nose was hit with the smell of blood. Except it didn't nauseate you this time. It smelled good, it made your throat burn with hunger.

Your eyes landed on it. A glass half full of the red liquid that you craved. Before you could reach for it the door to the bedroom opened and in walked a man.

You stood with a gasp and moved away from him with an in natural speed hitting the wall knocking a framed picture down.

Your heart pounded in your ears with fear and confusion.

You looked at the man with wide eyes and a heaving chest, shrinking down into a ball in the corner praying that he'd have mercy on you.

Klaus' heart broke at the sight. He dropped the dress from his hands and reluctantly took a step towards you "it's alright little dove, I won't hurt you. I swear it." He held his hands up showing he meant no harm.

Your body shook, "Who are you? What's wrong with me?" your voice was fragile.

Klaus sunk to his knees, trying his best to make himself look non threatening. "I saved your life, i did what i had to do to save your life." He said. Stopping only a few feet from you. Your teary eyes widened. "You… saved me?" You asked

He nodded slowly "I did. And now that your okay, I'm going to go put those animals down for good."

Your body uncurled slightly "your going to… kill them?" You asked quietly as if the word was forbidden.

"That's mercy compared to what I'll do."

A fiery look took over your expression. "I want to help"

The smile that took over his face was more beautiful than anything you'd ever seen.

From then you and Nicklaus had become a package deal. Someone piss Klaus off they'd deal with you, someone piss you off you'd have better luck finding the edge of the world than escaping Klaus' wrath.

Klaus loved you, and your gentle nature, but don't mistake it for weakness, you were almost as insane as Klaus. Almost.

You'd fight all the time. That was inevitable dealing with two short tempered vampires, but that never changed anything. The both of you were just as full of passion as the first day you met.

"Mm Klaus" you whispered as he moved inside of you. Klaus stared down at you in all of your beauty, to him you looked like an angel. His hips moved rhythmically, sliding in and out of you.

"So, so beautiful. My beautiful dove." The sound of his voice filled your ears like the most beautiful melody.

"Love having you so close, you complete me" your ran your hands through his hair, bringing him closer. He ' fight you, placing his face in your neck, gently biting down making you moan.

"I'll make you my wife, waited so long. Too long." The way he said it made you spasm around him making him groan. "You drive me crazy love" he was close, you could tell from the way his breath sped up.

"C'mon love, let go for me. Let me feel you." He pleaded huskily.

You were never one to fight him, feeling in your stomach released completely giving into him, with no shame. No fear. Klaus was your life and you were his.

The kind of love you had was written about in poems, in books. Which was probably why it ended so tragically.

"Rebekah please- please don't do this" you pleaded face soaked with tears. She had you chained up with vervain coated chains. But that wasn't even what hurt the most.

She stepped towards you, a regretful look in her blue eyes. "I am truly sorry sister, i love you i do." Her eyes filled with tears. "I wont hurt you"

You tugged at the chains "I wont forgive you for this. Never. I swear it." The venom in your voice Rebekah had heard many times before. But this was the first it was ever towards her.

She nodded in understanding "I know" her voice broke "but if i cant be happy, neither can he"

You pleaded with her over and over and over. But it changed nothing. It only delayed the inevitable. She began the compulsion and your pupils Dilated.

"You will run far from here. You will- you will forget my brother and continue to live your life as you have"

Klaus after Klaus hadn't seen you for over nine hours, he began turning the country upside down. He searched the entire world for you, chasing any lead that even remotely could've been you. He sent people who wanted to clear their debt with him on wold hunts in search of you.

Even after a while Kol, Elijah, and Rebekah had joined him in search of you. Rebekah hadn't told anyone of what she had done. The regret settled deep in her stomach watching her brother tear apart the world.

In certain moments she felt as evil as their father had been. Taking away the one person Klaus had found forever solitude in.

She saw in his eyes for decades how he longed to feel your touch again, she herself had kept an ear out in hopes she could find you before Klaus did, so he'd never find out what shed done. That she'd taken something so precious from him. Because if he found you first she knew he would.

He'd turn the world on as axis to find, kill, and ensure she was dead.

A pillow came down heavy on your head, successfully waking you from your slumber "up and at em, school dance to crash."

Your eyes opened landing on the raven haired vampire you were two seconds away from snapping his neck "Damon wake me up like that again you'll wind up with a missing heart" you threatened.

He smiled in his usual Damon way "no i won't"

He's right, he wouldn't. You sat up groaning, as Damon tossed an outfit to you. It was pink and black with white stripes and white knee high boots. "Ugh the seventies? Caroline couldn't have done fifties or something?" Your face curled in disgust.

Damon rolled his eyes "oh come on- you were great in the seventies. Awesome sene of style" he complimented. You snorted "yeah as apposed to you and that stupid mullet you loved oh so much"

He grabbed his heart feigning hurt "oh, low blow"

You'd run into Damon in Las Vegas over a hundred years ago, he found you after you'd lost all of your memories. He of course knew who you were, he was just unsure of why you didn't know who you were or the name you'd built for yourself.

He never told you about it and kept anyone who tried to away. He didn't know why. Maybe he was afraid his best friend would abandon him to go find her love.

You'd been with him since then. People often asked of you were a couple, and aside from a drunken hook up over five decades ago. And a talk after confirming you'd never do that again, you and Damon were nothing more than extremely close friends. You'd trust him with your life and vice versa.

The party was in full swing by time you'd arrived. The only reason you were coming was because Damon had asked you to stay by Elena's side which was the reason you were there, side from your love for Bonnie you'd die to keep her from dying.

So when you inevitably lost sight of both Bonnie and Elena, you wasted no time going to look for them. You ran through the endless halls of the school, only stopping when Alaric came crashing through the door, onto the floor right in front of you. Then on the other side of the door Bonnie Elena and Damon stood, looking at you with wide eyes.

"Y/n! Get away from him! It's Klaus!" Elena shouted taking a step towards you, only to be stopped by Damon.

At the sound of your name his head shot towards you and time felt like it stopped. It was you. You were there aright in front of him for the first time in one hundred and twenty years.

Klaus didn't know wether to be angry, or kiss you until you pass out. "Love?" was the only thing his brain could muster.

Your face fell, an expression he was very familiar with even after a hundred and fifty years apart. You were confused, there was no look of recognition on your face. No anger. No excitement. Nothing. Just pure confusion.

"What-" you said, before Damon pulled you away with Elena in tow. "Did you hear that?" You asked, following Damon. He shared a look with Elena that you caught "hear what?" He played dumb. You grabbed him turning him towards you "you heard it. And why did we just leave Bonnie?"

Damon started to get antsy "can we just get Elena out of here?"

You stood your ground, anger growing by the second. You'd always knew Damon was hiding something from you. He'd have this look in his eyes sometimes like he wanted to tell you something but couldn't form the words. "What aren't you telling me?" You demanded, looking from him to Elena and back to him.

"I'm not hiding anything! Now can we please get Elena out of here before he comes for her?"

You stared at him for a second. Then another. "What about Bonnie" you asked. Damon waved it off "Bonnie's fine she's got Stefan and Caroline". You scoff "oh that's comforting, Stefan's not even at his strongest he can't handle going against an original alone"

As if you talked them up Bonnie, who's nose was bloodied, Stefan who looked offended and Jeremy who held Bonnie up. Stefan patted your shoulder "good to know you have so much confidence in me"

You gave him an apologetic look.

"Let's get outta here" Jeremy said. Everyone agreed after Stefan explained Caroline had taken Matt home.

You were the last out of the school, something in you pleading to go back to the original.

Klaus was furious. Beyond any kind of anger that he'd ever felt. The love of his life was right in front of him and she looked at him like a stranger. Like offended her.

He returned to his own body as fast as he could. The plan with Elena could wait. He had to get his woman back. He wanted to believe that it was the crew you were with that made you forget him.

But that Damon would've been a fresh vampire and incapable of completely erasing Klaus from your mind.

Someone had taken you from him and him from you. Now who that was, Klaus would find out. But right now he needed to make you remember.

The next time Klaus had found you, you were alone. And angry, Damon had lied to you, something he did very rarely because he knew how much you hated it. You weren't sure exactly what it was he was lying about. Not positive at least. But you knew he knew why Klaus had called you 'love' that night.

You downed another glass of bourbon. One of the only things keeping you sane. Ignoring the chatter around you, fully aware of Matt's watchful eyes on you. Word had most likely gone around the group of friends to keep a watch on you, to keep you away from Klaus.

But in all honestly it just add you want to seek him out more, just to find out what they were hiding.

Klaus watched from afar, that familiar look of betrayal and display on your face. The one he hated to see on your beautiful features. He had to have you back. He had to make you remember. But it would take time.

Just for right now he needed to see you smile. That's when he approached you, it was rare that he was afraid, but that moment he couldn't help but hold his breath, until those words left his lips by force.

"Hello, Dove"

You felt him approaching. His energy radiated with danger and warning. The sound of his voice had made your breath catch in your throat and warm your heart. His accent was melodic and sounded like music to your ears.

He sat next to you, and that's when you finally looked at him. Klaus was beautiful.

Blonde curly hair, gentle blue eyes that made him look nothing of this monster people said he was. "Klaus?" You whispered.

He smiled and nodded, teeth and dimples on full display. "In the flesh, this time."

You swallowed, harshly. "Well maybe you'd like to tell me whats going on, seeing as my friends wont stop lying to me" You swirled your drink, glancing at Matt who's eyes weighed heavily on you.

Klaus looked at Matt as well, a smirk forming on his lips. "You mean about the other night?" He asked for clarification averting his eyes back to you.

You sighed, reluctantly nodding. Klaus saw the desperation on your face, the need to know what they were keeping from you. And even though his want to tell you had nothing to do with your group of imbeciles you called friends- it would give him a level of satisfaction.

"I knew you didn't i?" You asked with a frown.

Klaus smiled lightly "you did, you do."

You laughed bitterly, shaking your head. "Except i don't. I don't remember anything like I'm missing hundreds of years of memories"

Klaus felt that familiar feeling wash over him. The same one he'd felt countless times over the duration of your disappearance. The need he felt to punish whomever it was that came between the two of you.

"For decades i had Damon, helping me try to get my memories back. But now I'm not so sure he put as much of an effort in as he says he did.” "I'm sure he tried his best" Klaus attempted to comfort, but it was useless. You weren't stupid that one thing you'd never been. Always able to read between the lines.

You smiled sadly, "You don't believe that." You paused before letting your body relax "i don't even believe it. Not anymore."

Klaus hated this. He hated that he couldn't wipe that frown off your face like he used to be able to. So he settled for what he could do.

"I searched for you for a hundred and twenty three years. It was only a year ago my trail went completely cold."

Your eyes softened, heart fluttering at his admission.

"I dreamed of the day i would see your beauty again, i painted you. Over and over, just to make sure i never forgot a single detail. Your face is all over history. " His hand found yours, you didn't have it in you to pull away from him. "And even as i sit here now; nothing amounts to really seeing you"

Your face heated, no one had ever looked at you or described you the way Klaus was at that moment. You truly felt like an angel.

You gazed into his eyes "can i ask you something?"

"Anything" he replied without hesitation.

"Tell me about us. Our love"

Klaus was surprised at your request to say the least, but he wasted no time.

"Our love was true. It wasn't perfect, we fought like dogs at times, but other times it was like no one in the world had mattered except us." He squeezed your hand. "We never lied to the other, never kept secrets. We made mistakes and fixed them because it was so hard to go to bed angry with each other. You were so gentle, everything I wasn't but everything you made me. But you had a temper that rivaled my own." You laughed, the sound switching angelic in his ears.

"We were one" he said with finality

"We were beautiful" you said.

That night you dreamed of him. Though you knew it wasn't a dream. It was too real.

"I love you" you told Klaus, drawing feathery light circles on his bare chest where you lay your head. Klaus smiled his dimply smile "and i you, dove,"

You raised your head to look at him, "this feels to good to be true" You asked smiling. Klaus placed a gentle hand on your face "its not, were living proof" his tone was gentle, the way it always was when the sun began to rise over the horizon and greet you with its warmth.

You pressed a kiss to his lips, and in his normal Klaus fashion he deepened it. Grabbing your hips possessively. You giggled into the kiss, smacking his chest. "Just because were vampires doesn't mean we get to jump each others bones every second of the day"

Klaus laughs, head falling back against the cushiony pillow. "You are a rare jewel."

The next day you were awake and out the door before Stefan and Damon. Your at the home Klaus bought and began fixing up to match his standards, sitting on his couch a glass of blood in hand after he found out you'd waken up and come straight to him without fueling up.

"So my memories aren't not gone. They're just buried." You recited the words that Klaus had previously said to you after you told him about your dream.

"Correct" he says.

"So maybe its just the memories the buried, not the feelings. And maybe after yesterday those feelings triggered a memory" you theorize, taking a sip of the blood.

Klaus sat next to you, eyes full of promise "then i will make you fall in love with me again" he grabbed your other hand. Your breath left your lungs at his promise, you swallowed harshly "you wont have to try too hard. Because i already am."

Next thing you knew your lips were on his, the kiss was heavy, full of longing and need. Your soul felt like it was finally complete again. And just like that the floodgates opened. Every memory that had been locked away came flooding back.

Every kiss, every argument, every make up.

It was too much and the pain overwhelming , so much so that you only let out a whimper before you collapsed completely.

Klaus caught you, before you could fall from the couch. He rushed you to his room, just as he'd done all those hundreds of years before.

He waited, and waited. For hours he'd waited for you to finally be in his arms again. The you who remembers whet they of two of you had. The you who'd tell him who it was who took you from him.

He felt relieved when you finally peeled your eyes open. You immediately began to search for him. He grabbed your face "I'm here love".

Your eyes filled with tears, "Klaus, baby i remember. I remember everything" you mumbled before pressing your lips to his in a searing kiss. Klaus moved you on top of him and you didn't fight him. "I missed you. So fucking much" he said against your lips, grip tightening on your hips.

You sighed "I'm so sorry you had to endure that alone, my love", your hips began moving against his growing member. He flipped the two of you over, so he was on top of you "you’re here now, that's all i need"

The two of you didn't separate for hours. Not even close to enough time compared to how long you'd spent apart.

You were laid against his chest, naked body flush against his. "Nobody will ever take you from me again" he promised. And you believed him, because if you didn't do it before you'd sure as hell let the world feel your burn if someone tried.

Dean who was on the other bed, of course never needed an invitation to sleep.

You yawn, your body slides deeper into the uncomfortable wooden chair. Out of habit your eyes trail over to Sam, checking for the steady rise and fall of his chest.

You smile adoringly at him, it felt good to see him finally catching up on his sleep, he didn't know that you knew, but he had been avoiding sleep because of his reoccurring nightmares.

You sigh, standing up from the chair, ready to catch some z's yourself, pausing when your gaze lands on Sam again, only this time his eyebrows were knitted, and his breathing elevated.

As you begin to move towards him he jerks up out of his sleep, with a loud gasp. You rushed over to his side, your palms cradling his face "hey, hey Sammy I'm here." You turn his head so his eyes could land on you. His gaze was wild with fear, and his breathing hadn't slowed.

"Baby I'm here, your okay. Your safe." You remind him gently. Sam lets out a harsh breath as his eyes squeeze shut, his hand moves to grab your wrist, turning his head so he could press a kiss to it.

"I got you honey." You pull his body into yours. You could feel his slowing heart beat against your chest. Sam's arms wrap around your waist, pulling you completely flush with him.

"Thank you" he whispers, his head in the nape of your neck. Your hand runs though his soft hair soothingly "don't have to thank me baby"

His head lifts, and your eyes catch his, he's assessing you. "Did I wake you?" He asked, a frown playing on his lips. You shook your head, pressing a kiss to his nose. "No, i was just wrapping up some research" you replied.

He nodded, falling back into you. You knew by now not to ask about his dreams anymore, he'd tell you when he was ready.

"Are you okay" you asked. Sam sighed "I don't know… I just- need you right now"

You have him a quick peck on his lips "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" you promised. Sam kissed your neck, pulling you overtop of him, using you as his own weighted blanket.

"Can you talk to me?" He asked. So you did, you talked about everything and nothing, not forgetting to fill him in on the stupid little argument you and Dean had when he was out on a run that made him chuckle.

Eventually his eyes closed, breathing evened out and his arms loosened around you. He was out cold, no nightmare in sight.

As you slipped into a slumber of your own, you failed to notice Dean wide awake. He watched it all go down, how you took care of his brother like it was the only thing that mattered.

It filled deans heart to know that his baby brother is in good hands, that even if he were to go, you would be there to pick up the pieces, and make him whole again.

Dean smiled to himself as he turned back over in his bed, letting sleep overtake him once again.
