Finding the Right Mate -Klaus M.

Warning: Smut and mentions of abuse

(VD x Twilight Crossover)

"You're helping me enough Caroline, you don't need to worry. Giving me a place to go for a week away from him is exactly what I need. Thank you for everything you've done the last few days." Caroline had invited me to visit her in Mystic Falls the week before graduation. I was relieved as I was able to get away from my abusive mate for a little while, even if it was only for a week.

"I'm glad you think so Y/n, however I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can move down here and never have to go back to him. Think it over, I'll see you later at home, okay? I'll drive you to the airport tomorrow myself." I nodded, sitting in a booth in the grill while Caroline left to join the graduation committee which worked daily over the break which was the same days as the break in Forks. I knew she was super busy getting everything ready for graduation and I didn't mind, as long as I was here and not in Forks, Washington. The last week with my cousin had been great, a vacation in a sense before I go home tomorrow night and am shackled back to that idiot.

I was currently texting Bella who had been turned 2 months prior by her mate. Edward had both Bella and I believing we were his mates when we moved to Forks and that he would die without us, however when Garrett visited Carlisle he found his mate in Bella immediately, nearly killing Edward for trying to claim her as his own. I no longer believe I am Edward's mate as he doesn't treat me like it, nor does he care for me much at all, I'm just his human punching bag, but unless I can find my real mate I am stuck with pussy boy since he told me about the existence of vampires, he is responsible for me. Carlisle and Esme believe Edward whole heartedly that I am his, and as the leaders of the coven what they say goes, therefore Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rose can't do anything to help me. I tried to get away from him the first time he hit me which was right after Bella was taken away by Garrett, however Edward told Carlisle I was 'being difficult' and Carlisle agreed that he was in his rights to punish me and teach me as he sees fit to be his "Perfect Mate".

I was sitting in a booth, eating lunch and expecting to be alone for the rest of the day without Caroline when a man approached me with a very happy smile on his face, one that was contagious. "Hello there love, are you new in town? I know I would have remembered seeing you before." This man was the definition of sexy and I wanted nothing more than to jump his bones right then.

"Um, not really, I've just been visiting my cousin Caroline for the last week. I'm Y/n Y/L/n." He took my hand in his delicately.

"Niklaus Mikaelson." He introduced, kissing the back of my hand like in one of those cheesy romantic movies, however he really made it attractive. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Do you want to sit?" I offered to him and he smiled wider, taking the seat across from me. There was something about this man that I immediately took a liking to and I wanted to see more of it. "Niklaus, that's an interesting name. Do people call you Nik?"

"Most people call me Klaus actually, but I would love it if you would call me Nik. Can I buy you a drink?" I nodded, smiling at him, trying to figure out if he was flirting with me or just being friendly.

Nik and I talked for the next 3 hours at that table and I have to admit after a few drinks I was a little tipsy.

"Come on kitten, I'll take you home. I don't think you should be walking by yourself." I nodded, standing and holding onto his arm, squeezing his bicep and giggling.

"You're super muscly." He smiled, placing his arm around my waist and walking me outside where it had gotten dark and I didn't even notice. "I can't figure you out Nik, you're like, impossible."

"What do you mean?" He asked as we walked down towards the residential area.

"I mean I can't tell if you're being nice, or you're flirting with me." We were almost to Caroline's house and I damned her for living so close to the grille as we approached the porch.

"What if I was flirting with you?" He sat us down on the front steps and I sighed at his question.

"I would be flattered, it's been a long time since a guy has been this sweet to me, however I need to tell you that I have a boyfriend back home." I expected him to get upset, but he just smiled, not looking at all shocked.

"I expected that, how could someone have not snatched you up by now? I don't understand though how you have a boyfriend but you just said a guy hasn't been as sweet as me in a long time...does this boyfriend not cherish you as you deserve?" I snorted at that and shook my head.

"Edward is...he's an asshole-"

"Then why are you dating him? If he doesn't treat you right, dump him and find someone who will." I shook my head, trying to find a way to explain this without exposing anything.

"I can't dump him, it's complicated and dangerous-"

"Dangerous...is he threatening you Y/n? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you-"

"Please stop...Nik, I don't want to be the reason you get hurt, please, I'm begging you, let it go?" He paused before nodding.

"Fine, I'll let it go for now, but I won't let you go. Come stay with me for the night? No one will ever know." I smiled at the thought of being with Nik for one night before I'm saddled with Edward for eternity.

"Just tonight, I have to be back tomorrow evening to get my plane." I agreed and the smile that lit up Nik's face was amazing. He lives in a mansion! A god damn mansion! I kept my underwear on and borrowed a shirt from him, pulling it on and seeing the blonde man watching intently as I cover my exposed skin. "See something you like?"

"Oh yes love, I like everything I see when I look at you." I laid down on the bed beside him but facing away, pulling the covers up and he leaned closer to me, his fingers trailing their way up my arm, giving me a chill and leaving me covered in goose bumps. "You are the definition of perfection...I hate that that boy takes you for granted-" He pulled me close so we were both laying on our sides, my back pressed against his chest. "-when he should be worshipping the ground you walk on." His fingers found their way around my thigh and up under the shirt I was wearing, massaging over my pantie line delicately.

"Our relationship is expected to be the other way around." I told him, trying to keep my breathing even but failing miserably as I felt my panties dampen.

"Let me show you what your life could be love." I knew he was asking, he wouldn't do anything unless I gave him permission and he was making that very clear, I could see it in his eyes when I looked back at him.

"I've...I've never-"

"It's okay." He cut me off, letting me know he understood. "Let me show you how a King worships his Queen." I couldn't find it in me to do more than breathe the word 'yes' but that was all he needed. He rolled me onto my back but stayed on my side, spreading my thighs and removing the covers from our bodies, leaving me exposed as he pulled his shirt over my head and tossed my panties somewhere.

"Nik-"

"Shh, just relax Y/n. This is all about you, just feel." Cold is what I felt before feeling his lips on my shoulder. His hand found my lower stomach again before caressing his way down slowly, stopping just before he got to where I needed him. He trailed one finger down my pussy making me gasp at the strange sensation, never having felt it before, not even from myself. "Are you alright with this? You can tell me to stop whenever you want to." I shook my head.

"Please don't stop...it's just I've never been touched like this, not even by myself." His eyes went wide and he looked confused. "I was 14 when I met Edward, he said that touching yourself was wrong and my first orgasm should be his when we get married." I was completely embarrassed and Nik seemed to know that, turning my head to face him.

"Well now your first orgasm is going to belong to me. And second, and third, and however many I can get out of you in one night." He smirked, leaning in and kissing me in a way that Edward never did, there was passion and love behind it and that was the moment I realized, after only a few hours of knowing him, I loved this man, it shouldn't be possible but it is and I refused to question it. He continued kissing me as his hand went back to work, pushing one finger inside of me followed by a second. It was an odd feeling but not necessarily uncomfortable. He worked them in and out of me slowly, his thumb trailing back up my slit and finding a spot that made my hips fly off the bed and made me squeal against his mouth. He pulled back, chuckling at my reaction and moving to kiss my neck, making me moan as he nibbled at my skin. I tried to relax my hips but the more Nik's thumb pressed against my clit the harder it got to relax. The 2 fingers inside of me had turned to 3 at some point and as he curled them upwards I gasped, clutching onto the sheets below me as Nik looked up at me smirking. He curled his fingers again slightly and my body jerked making the man do it again. He gradually sped up and as he sped up so did my breathing. I couldn't explain the feeling inside of me that seemed to be building the faster Nik got until I felt like I couldn't handle it anymore. The tension inside of me felt like it had snapped as my hips jerked up and I slapped my hand over my mouth trying to stop the scream that came from me. Nik's hand continued working as this happened and I could never in a million years explain the feeling in words as anything other than ecstasy, ecstasy that lasted for the next 30 seconds and left me gasping for air when it was over.

"I've been missing out on so much." I spoke, still breathing heavily.

"Yes you have love, this is what your boyfriend should be doing for you every day, and there are plenty of ways to go about it, I don't understand why he doesn't. Do you get him off?" I shook my head.

"Edward has never done more than kiss me, and not even the way you kiss me." Nik smirked and I was beginning to love that look on him.

"How do I kiss you?" I considered the difference for a moment and quickly figured out what it was.

"Like you enjoy it...like touching me and kissing me isn't a chore. I believe anything that has to do with physical contact bores Edward." Nik rolled his eyes and groaned.

"Why are you with this boy?" I giggled at the frustration on his face before grimacing as I moved my body.

"Where's your bathroom? I want to clean myself up a little bit, I'm uncomfortable." His eyes snapped back to mine and the mischievous smile on his face was enough to scare me.

"In that case, you're ready for your second orgasm of the night." My eyes widened and I leaned away from him a little before he grabbed me around the waist.

"Nik! Nik, wait! Let me clean up first! What are you doing?" He had turned me so I was laying sideways on the bed with no pillows behind me, pinning my hips down with his hands and leaning over me. "Will you listen to me?!"

"No." He stated simply, connecting our lips firmly and nearly making me forget why I was fighting him in the first place. "Trust me, I'm not yet done worshipping you." He kissed down my throat and chest, making a quick stop at each of my breasts, licking and nibbling at my nipples, and continuing down my stomach, dipping his tongue in my bellybutton which made me giggle and him look up at me. "I love learning more about your body princess, you're ticklish just about everywhere aren't you?" My eyes widened, knowing he would use that against me in the future, as he went back to his descent. He kissed down to my waist before lifting my legs at the knees and kissing up the inside of my thighs. I was delighting in the feel of his soft lips against my thighs when suddenly his tongue was pressing firmly against my clit. I gasped for air, trying to keep breathing as he worked his tongue against my clit every which way, keeping a constant pressure on me that was driving me insane. I opened my eyes and looked down at him as he pulled back, panting, his fingers stroking me as he locked his eyes on mine. "How's that princess? How does that make you feel?"

"It feels amazing! I never imagined something being able to feel this good, please don't stop?!" I pleaded and he smirked, diving right back in, his tongue getting back to work while his hands found my breasts, pinching my nipples between his fingers. I felt that beautiful tension begin to rise in me like last time and I reached my hand down, tangling my fingers in his short blond locks. "Nik...Oh my god! Niklaus!" I shouted his name as my orgasm tore through me, though Nik didn't slow down at all, in fact he sped up, moving his one hand down and inserting 2 fingers, curling them and thrusting them in and out of me, assaulting a spot in me that was making me see stars. I didn't have a second after one orgasm finished to calm down before another one started and I gasped, screaming and grinding myself onto his mouth as he cleaned me up just like he promised.

When he was finished he crawled back up my body, pulling his clothes off and cuddling me to him, wrapping us in the covers. "Did you enjoy your multiple orgasms?" He was smirking and he knew I had loved it, he also knew I couldn't form a sentence right now if life depended on it. "You're beautiful when you come love, simply beautiful. I want to be able to witness it for the rest of my life." I nodded feeling the tiredness from the alcohol and the exhaustion from his fingers and tongue collide and make me close my eyes already near unconsciousness.

"I wish you could." I mumbled, letting sleep take over me.

"Then why can't I? I'll take care of you, give you whatever you want for the rest of eternity...I'll treat you right...Y/n?"

"No Edward, I'm tired and you're cold. Let me sleep." I mumbled, trying to keep the vampire from pulling the blankets off of me like every other morning when I heard a short chuckle.

"What? You're half asleep aren't you. Y/n, I'm not-"

"Leave me to sleep, if you hit me again I'll yell for Jasper and he'll kick your vampire ass." I growled, shoving the hand from my shoulder.

"Vampire...Y/n, I need you to explain right now." I felt Edwards hand on my waist and pushed it away again, rolling over.

"I'm don't want to be your mate Edward, stop touching me!" I heard a low growling but the hands stopped after that and I continued to sleep.

~~~~

I awoke the next morning feeling great and I had slept straight through the night, something I hadn't done since I found out Edward liked to watch me sleep at night. I stood from the bed, pulling on my underwear and Nik's discarded shirt. I opened the bedroom door to the smell of breakfast cooking. I turned the corner to see Nik putting the box of eggs back into the refrigerator and I tip-toed up behind him only for him to spin around and lift me into the air. "Jerk! You're just like Emmett, no one can sneak up on you can they?" I kissed his cheek and stole a piece of bacon, biting into it.

"No, they can't, but to be fair, I'm the oldest vampire known to man-" I cut him off by choking on my bacon, coughing until he pat my back and I swallowed it completely.

"That wasn't funny Nik." I sat on the barstool and looked at him to see he wasn't laughing. "You're actually being serious?" He nodded once but said nothing else. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Well, it seems only fair, you told me you were mated to a vampire last night." My eyes went wide as I realized.

"I talk in my sleep too often to sleep anywhere but home apparently...Well, I suppose you knowing is better. I was dreading having to tell you 'Hey Nik, I'm in love with you but I can't be with you and I can't tell you why'."

"Right, you can't be with me because you let yourself be mated to someone who is not your mate. That makes it hurt so much less. Now, after 1000 years of searching for you, I still end up completely alone." Okay, now I'm officially confused.

"Let myself...you think I would ever let him do anything to me? He lied to me and my friend Bella the day we met him, told us we were his mates, we were 14 years old, and completely human, how were we supposed to know it wasn't true!? It's not like he can do anything until we're turned anyway, then Bella has to find Garrett, her real mate, he changes her and she leaves me with Edward all alone. He loses his fucking mind, starts beating the crap out of me, Carlisle and Esme won't do anything though cause they think I'm his mate, he tells them I'm 'difficult' and they just let him go on hitting me, like it's completely fine, like he's just molding me into the perfect mate. Jasper and Alice want to help me, Emmett and Rose want to help me but they can't go against Carlisle, he saved them, they owe him. Now I get to go home today after meeting the perfect guy and completely falling in love with him in a matter of hours, to go to a high school graduation tomorrow and then I get to burn for 3 days and spend the rest of my life sparkling like a fucking disco ball all because I moved to the rainiest town in the US and some 100 year old virgin vampire decided to ruin my life!" By the time I had finished ranting I had paced back and forth across the living room 4 times and collapsed against a wall, sobbing and unable to stop.

"They're not vampire's love, you're talking about cold ones. They drink blood but they can hardly be called vampires." I looked at Nik who was now kneeling in front of me. "Cold ones can't mate with humans, they need to change them first-"

"Which is what Edward is going to do to me tomorrow night, he's going to change me and-"

"No."

"No?" I asked, confused.

"No. You're my mate love, I thought you had already been marked by a vampire, in which case we wouldn't be able to be together. See real vampires have a small amount of venom where cold ones have venom instead of blood. Our venom can only be used once and that is to mark our mate. I thought you had been marked by another one of my kind, in which case I wouldn't be able to mark you as mine-"

"But since I haven't been you can and I can be with you?" He nodded and I grinned, launching myself forward and into his arms. "I thought I was going to have to spend the rest of my existence with an idiot who beats me."

Nik held onto me for the next few minutes, just letting me cry. “I would never have let that happen to you, even if I couldn’t mark you.”

"If vampires can only mark their mates how would I have been marked by anyone else?"

"You can mark anyone, in fact it's become a thing to mark the first person a vampire loves and not wait for their mates. I've spent 1000 years waiting for you."

"No pressure." I joked and he smiled.

"None at all, you are perfect, at least you are when you get rid of all the cold one problems, and I plan to very soon. Step one to my plan is to get a ticket on the plane you're getting on tonight." I was confused as he led me to the table and put my plate of breakfast in front of me.

"Why? I don't need to graduate, I can just stay here with you and never go back to see him again."

"You're graduating, and don't worry, we'll come back here afterwards, after I talk with this coven leader about how to identify mates, and after I kill Edward Cullen." I was thrilled with that and Nik and I spent the rest of the day talking, getting to know each other. He explained his family and how he became a vampire, having broken his curse, killed Mikael and freed his family only months ago while I explained Bella and I, the Volturi (who apparently knew my mate very well) and the Cullen's, of which he promised not to hurt the 4 who actually helped me. "I think the animal diet is going to their heads, it's the only think I can think." He told me as we sat on the plane that night. "One thing I can't get out of my head is what you said about Jasper."

"What about him? I don't know all that much about what he did before he and Alice came to find Carlisle, he doesn't go into detail when I'm around. I know that he trained Newborns." Nik's eyes widened and he smiled as I said this.

"Jasper Whitlock. Maria's right hand, I remember him. Maria and I had a few dealings when Katerina was on the run through Mexico a century ago. Good soldier, definitely not a man I want around you though." I could see the worry on his face and resisted asking questions I knew Jasper didn’t want me to know.

"Jasper is different now. He told me stories about what he was like back then, and honestly it doesn't shock me. After so many years of slaughter and carnage, how do you not lose your humanity? He has Alice now and she saved him, feeds on animals so he doesn't feel the emotions of the people he eats, plus Alice is a happy, upbeat fairy like girl, he feeds off of that energy, keeps him from being depressed I suppose. You'll like Jasper as he is now, he's my best friend. I think you'll like Emmett too, he looks tough but he's a big teddy bear. One of them usually stays in or nearby my room when I sleep at night."

"Why?" Nik wondered, looking at me worriedly.

"I have nightmares, I haven't slept all the way through a night since I came to Forks 4 years ago, also I'm scared of Edward."

"In your sleep?"

"When I'm not expecting it..." It took him a moment to figure out what I was talking about.

"You're afraid of him raping you?" I nodded.

"Just because he hasn't doesn't mean he won't. It probably won't happen, I just think it's better to be safe than sorry. Jasper and Emmett just think it's because they keep the nightmares away." He looked at me completely heart broken.

"That's not something you should have to say about someone you live with. You shouldn't be scared of something like that in your own home. I promise you that no man besides me will ever put his hands on you again. You're safe with me, I swear it."

"I know I am, I slept all the way through the night last night. I trust you Nik and I felt safe even when I thought you were completely human." He leaned over the armrest, kissing my forehead and pulling me close, allowing me to nap on his chest until we got to Port Angeles. It was nearly midnight and I was supposed to get a room for the night in the hotel down the street and be picked up by Jasper tomorrow.

I watched Nik get us a hotel room before I stepped up and used Carlisle's card to get my own. "What are you doing?" Nik asked.

"Edward will check the card to make sure of where I'm staying, he will also ask the workers so don't let them see you talking to me." He nodded, taking his bag and walking off to the elevator.

"Friend of yours?" The man behind the desk asked as he came back with my room key and I smiled.

"Not really, we realized we were going to the same hotel at the airport and shared a cab, he's a nice guy I suppose." I shrugged, taking the key and walking off. I got to my room and immediately called Jasper to tell him I was safe.

"Good, I was starting to worry about you a little bit Kid, you didn't call at all today. You always check in with me."

"I know Jazz, I'm sorry. It was just hard saying goodbye to my friends, knowing that it really was goodbye." I hated lying to him but I knew if any of them got wind of Niklaus Mikaelson being my mate Edward and most likely Carlisle and Esme would be gone.

"I understand kid, I really do, but you know you've got us."

"Always Jazz? No matter what happens, right? You're always my brother?" I needed the reassurance, though I believed Jasper would quickly forgive me for what was going to happen tomorrow, all of them would.

"Always Kid, you know that. Edward is on the phone with the man at reception, told him you shared a cab with a man you talked to in the lobby which he is pissed about, and that you're in your room for the night. Edward said to leave you a wakeup call for 4:30 like normal."

"I don't even need to be at the school until noon. Come get me at 11, okay Jasper? I'll shower and get ready here, all I need you to bring is my cap and gown." I really just wanted to sleep in with Nik but I knew Jasper was good for keeping his promise.

"You got it Y/n, I'll see you then. Get some sleep."

"Night cowboy." I hung up the phone and quickly grabbed my bag, leaving the room and getting the elevator to the top floor, because of course Nik would get the penthouse suite when we're only here for a night. I knocked on the door and Nik was answering it a second later, pulling me into his arms. "Well hello to you too, I realize we haven't seen each other in a whole 5 minutes but try to control yourself." I teased and he mock glared.

"I don't like not being right next to you while you're still unmarked, and I also don't like having to wait until tomorrow to-"

"Good news. I talked to Jasper and I got him to pick me up at 11 tomorrow, I don't even need to see Edward before graduation. It'll piss him off but it's not like he can do anything about it until after graduation anyway. I did that all so that you can mark me right here, right now, so you don't have to feel anymore anxiety about it." He grinned, leaning down to connect our lips. "I just want us to start our forever together. Also, I texted Bella, her and Garrett will be there to see me graduate tomorrow, I'm inviting them back to the house afterwards where you will be waiting, heads up, you might have to let Garrett get a hit or 2 in with Edward."

"I suppose I can allow that, the man deserves it after all." Nik walked me into the kitchen where he handed me a long island iced tea like the ones I drank at the grill, making me smile.

"I'm really glad I don't have to give up eating and drinking when I become a vampire. When I called Jazz, Edward was on the phone with the front desk. I told the guy that we shared a cab from the airport and Edward was pissed. God forbid I be dating him and talk to someone else with a penis." Nik snorted.

"I hate to say this in his favor, but you did sleep with said man." I took a sip of my drink, pointing at him.

"True, but I only slept with you, I have yet to actually use your dick. I mean the only person who has gotten any kind of sexual gain from this relationship so far has been me." He shrugged.

"I don't know, I mean I did jack off with you in mind last night, I had to do something, you fell asleep and left me with a major erection." At this point I couldn't hold in the laughter at our conversation anymore and neither could he.

"Well, I think I should remedy my actions, don't you?" His eyes darkened and I grinned, jumping up and running towards the bedroom, being lifted bridal style half way there and thrown on the bed. "Oh my god this bed is amazing." I marveled, loving the silk sheets before hearing a growl and seeing my already half naked hybrid impatiently waiting. "Sorry, it's not every day I stay in a penthouse suite."

"Well you will from now on or maybe the honeymoon suite instead." I considered that, loving the idea as I pulled my shirt and jeans off, kissing Nik who crawled on top of me quickly, ripping off my bra and panties. "I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your pussy." He laid me back, removing his boxers and spreading my legs. "Are you ready?" I nodded.

"Where do you want to mark me?"

"Here, That way I'll be the only one to ever see it, others can smell it and that's fine but it's supposed to be personal, I think right over your heart is perfect." I agreed with him completely.

"Only if I get to mark you in the same place." He smiled, connecting our lips before pushing straight into me. The stretching hurt but it wasn't too bad and passed fairly quickly, allowing me to let him move. The moment he started moving I knew I was done for, I don't know if it's a sex thing or a mate thing considering this is my first time but I know I'm going to become addicted to this. Nik was very slow in his movements and I couldn't decide if he was trying not to hurt me or if this was somehow just as good for him as it was for me. "Nik?"

He opened his eyes and looked at me shocked, as if he only just realized he wasn't alone and I giggled. "I had been told...but I never believed it. Sex with your mate is supposed to be the pleasure of any other time multiplied by 100. Fucking hell Y/n!" He cursed, lifting one of my legs over his shoulder and moving faster, continuing to curse like crazy. I quickly got frustrated with the fact that I couldn't move at all in this position, dropping my leg and pinning him to my chest, rolling over so I was now on top. I bent my knees at his sides and placed my hands on his chest so I could use it as leverage to move. "I love this position." He told me and I giggled as he watched my tits bouncing up and down as I did.

"Oh god, so close Nik, fuck!" I was practically sobbing at this point, begging any and every deity in existence for release and Nik gave it to me as he took hold of my hips he began thrusting up into me as I dropped down. "Holy Fuck!" I screamed, my orgasm hitting me at the exact moment his did and he dug his fangs into my left breast. "I love you Nik, so fucking much!"

The venom burned slightly once I had come down from my high, though I didn't mind, it just let me know it was working. He stayed attached to me for another 2 minutes before pulling back, his mouth covered in blood and some other clear liquid that I'm assuming is his venom. "I love you too kitten, and I can't wait until I can change you so I won't have to hold back anymore." I looked up at him shocked.

"That was you holding back? Cause if it was change me now, I need to know what you not holding back is like." He smiled, pulling me close to kiss him before laying back against the pillows, pulling me to his chest. "I just want to stay like this forever, can we do that? Naked, in bed, just the 2 of us. Room service and silk sheets. This is perfect, right here, right now."

"It will be even more perfect when you're a vampire too, naked, in bed, just the 2 of us, room service, silk sheets and in Paris." I lifted my head from his chest and grinned.

"Paris, really? You mean it?!" He chuckled, nodding.

"Of course love, anywhere you want to go. I'll propose sometime after you change and we will go on an extended honeymoon, We'll travel everywhere."

"And have sex in every country?" I teased making him laugh but nod. "Can we go to Venice? I've always wanted to go to Venice, and the Caribbean."

"Of course we can. Anywhere you want, I told you yesterday, you deserve to be treasured, I will spend the rest of our existence worshipping the ground that you walk on. You will want for nothing in my presence because I want you, need you, I will spend every minute of every day loving you. The past few years of your life have been shitty, but I promise your future is going to be better." I had tears in my eyes and I felt like I couldn't stop crying as I held onto him.

"That was beautiful Nik, no one has ever said anything like that to me before. I don't think I can really say anything close to that meaningful to you, but I can say that the loneliness you've felt for the last 1000 years is over. You will never be alone again Niklaus, I promise, I will be here for you till the end of eternity." I leaned in, pressing my lips to his, this kiss being different than any we had had so far, it held every promise we had made to each other and every ounce of love in our hearts.

I was awoken the next morning to the sunlight shining in my eyes. I looked at the alarm clock and saw it was 8 in the morning making me realize I should probably just stay up. I sat up from Nik's chest and looked back at him, smiling before smirking as I noticed his erection pressed under the sheet that was over us. I ducked down under the sheet and moved slowly as not to wake him, kneeling between his legs and pressing my tongue against him, licking up his shaft before taking him in my hand. I licked over the head, tasting the precum that oozed out before taking him in between my lips slowly, inch by inch until he hit the back of my throat. When he was all the way in my mouth I swallowed around him, feeling his body jolt and knowing he was now awake before making a gagging sound and easing him back out.

"Y/n?!"

"Who else would it be?" I asked before deep throating him yet again. I bobbed my head up and down a few times before Nik threw the sheet off of me, somehow getting harder as he saw me.

"Fuck Y/n!" I continued bobbing my head up and down, swirling my tongue around his head every now and again until I got it in me to relax my throat and push him all the way back, swallowing and moaning to cause vibrations. "Shit! Shit baby, stop...Y/n, that's enough." I pulled my mouth off just as he started cumming, allowing him to come on my face.

"It would have just been easier to swallow it." I mumbled, feeling it dripping down my naked chest.

"Well, I didn't plan on cumming on your face love."

"Where did you plan on cumming?"

"I didn't, you woke me up with your sexy mouth around my cock."

"Oh yeah." I giggled, sitting up. "I just planned on swallowing it. However I need to get into the shower so I suppose this is okay." I hopped up off of the bed and walked into the bathroom, starting the water and stepping into it, letting the sticky substance wash from my body before stepping completely under the water and wetting my hair. I went to pick up the shampoo I had brought with me but found nothing, when I opened my eyes and looked it was where it was supposed to be. Suddenly there were hands on my head and I felt Nik scrubbing my shampoo in making me smile. "Your hands are magical, I swear."

"So is your mouth love." I giggled at that as Nik rinsed my hair out before grabbing the conditioner. I squeezed shampoo onto my hand and quickly lathered his head up since he only had a little bit of hair, before rinsing it while Nik ran his conditioner covered fingers through my locks. "I love washing your hair for you."

"That's good because I love you washing my hair, it works out." We spent an hour in the shower together washing each other, sharing kisses and innocent touches here and there until we needed to get out. By that time it was a little after 9:30 and I began blow drying my hair and styling it half up and half down with some curls in it. I dressed in a short dark blue dress that came to my mid-thigh and blue heels since it was a special day. We ordered breakfast and ate together, just talking until 11.

"I'll leave a few minutes after you." I shook my head.

"Walk me to Jasper's car, I'm going to tell him now, that way he's not shocked later and can actually calm people down." Nik nodded thoughtfully but ultimately decided I was right. Jasper was pulling up just as we walked out and Nik handed me my bag. "I'll see you later, right?"

"Of course, I'll be watching." He gave me a quick peck on the cheek before leaving me to step into Jasper's mustang.

"Alright darlin'. What's going on?" I put my bag in the back and sighed as he began driving.

"I don't want to lie to you Jazz, you're the closest thing I have to a real brother, but if I tell you, I need you to keep your mouth shut until after graduation. Can you do that?" He nodded, knowing just by feeling how I feel that I was serious and desperate. "That was my mate. He's a traditional."

"Thank god!" Jasper exclaimed and I looked at him strangely. "What? I don't want you to be with Edward forever darlin'. I want more for you and that man put a smile on your face with just a simple kiss to your cheek. I want to meet him though, I'm your big brother, threatening the boyfriend is my job, though I must admit, he looks strangely familiar." I decided not to mention how my mate could snap him in half like a twig, or the fact that he knew Maria and just nodded.

"He's coming to the house after graduation. Don't think about it, I don't need Edward knowing." He nodded.

"Of course darlin', that's a given. Were you with him all night?" I nodded, pulling down the front of my dress to show him my mark. "Well, he's sure a quick fucker isn't he?"

"I met him in Mystic Falls 2 days ago. I didn't know he was a vampire when I went home with him." Jasper rolled his eyes at that.

"You and Bella, the twin danger magnets." I giggled at his joke as we got closer to the high school.

"Bella is coming today by the way."

"Well, I look forward to seeing her and not wanting to drain her dry."

"I'm sure you do." We talked mindlessly about things for the rest of the car ride until we got to the school. People were already being seated on the fields' bleachers when we arrived. I grabbed my cap and gown from the trunk and waved as I saw Bella and Garrett sitting in the front row.

"What did you do?" I jumped as I heard the voice next to me and turned to see Edward behind me. He grabbed ahold of my arm and dragged me into the school, away from everyone else. I knew right away I was in trouble as there was no way Klaus was here yet and Jasper had walked off to find Alice. "Bella is here with that beast on her arm! You are the only one who would do something so stupid as to invite them here!"

"I wanted my best friend to be here for my graduation, I-" I was cut off by being shoved back into the wall behind me, cracking my head against the cement and immediately getting light headed. "Edward, please I-"

"Shut Up!" He shouted, smacking me across the face, making my head snap to the side. "Now I have to put up with watching the girl I love walking around with another man and know that she's given herself to that monster." I opened my mouth to reply and tell the truth about having given myself away too but he spoke first. "The only reason you're still alive is your purity. I won't have anything less than a virgin when I mate with you, which is going to be today. You and I are getting married right after graduation, congratulations Y/n, it's your wedding day." I was completely frozen at this point but I knew I needed to do something soon. I ran down the hallway to my locker and grabbed my makeup bag that I kept here, running back to the bathroom and expertly covering my black and blue nose after cleaning off the blood. Thankfully the back of my head isn't bleeding but I'm definitely going to need Nik's blood when this graduation is over. I tossed the makeup bag into the trash, knowing I wasn't coming back to this place for shit and stumbled out to find my seat. I could see Bella looking at me worriedly along with Garrett and I knew if she could tell something was wrong then where ever Nik was he sure as hell could too. I dizzily sat through all the speeches and somehow got the strength to stand and walk across the stage to get my diploma before falling back into my seat. By the time graduation was over I felt like I was going to die but I pushed myself to get up and make it over to Bella before Edward made it to me.

"Hey Bells, how are you?" She hugged me to her immediately, looking slightly on edge around so many people but quickly got over it.

"I'm great. Happy, finally...how are you?" I smiled.

"About to be a lot better. You're coming over for a while right?" Garrett and she looked at one another. "Trust me, you're not going to want to miss this." They looked confused but I pointed at my head and they immediately understood that I didn't want Edward knowing.

"Yeah, we'll head there now." I smiled, hugging Garrett slightly and feeling a burning coming from my mark making me acknowledge the fact that Nik didn't like me hugging Garrett. I waved before making my way to Jasper's car, only to have my arm grabbed.

"Where are you going love?" I cringed as he called me that, he never called me that.

"Don't call me that Edward." I insisted, making several students look at us. "You know I don't like that nickname...babe." I cringed again. "I'm riding home with Jasper-"

"I told Carlisle to meet us at our field to ordain us, Esme is going to be the witness, get into my car." He growled and I felt scared but it immediately disappeared as my mark began to burn again.

"You can tell Carlisle that if we're getting married it will be at home with our family, where my best friends can be there, and thank you for the offer but I will ride with Jasper. I'll see you at home Edward." I said it all loudly enough that plenty of people heard, therefor he couldn't just drag me to his car and he knew it. I knew there were bruises on my arm as I got into the passenger seat of Jaspers car. Jasper got in not a moment later and looked at me concerned. "What?" I asked and he looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Are you alright? Where is Nik, I thought he would-"

"Home Jasper. Home." He nodded, starting the car and driving off. By the time we got there everyone else was already there and waiting in the living room. I wiped the makeup off in the mirror and heard Jasper growling immediately. "Nik?" I questioned as we got out and I felt calm, comforted, knowing it was okay and I was safe as I walked inside with Jasper.

"There she is, I poured you a drink to celebrate love, careful though, you know how you get with alcohol." I knew he had drugged it, he's done it 100 other times, so this time I decided not to drink it.

"Yes Edward, I do know how I get. Especially 2 days ago over drinks with one of Caroline's friends. He bought me a few drinks and we slept together." I admitted, putting the glass on the table, seeing everyone's shocked faces. "It was amazing, really, even better the next day completely sober." There was an audible silence in the room, the entire family now listening intently as well as Bella and Garrett who were both grinning at me. "I'm sure it'll be just as great later tonight when I'm finally rid of you." He wanted to hurt me, I know he did but he wouldn't dare strike me with Jasper and Emmett around.

"Y/n, I'm hurt that you would do that to me but I'm sure we can talk this out and move passed it-"

"I don't want to move passed it, I don't want to be with you, hell will freeze over before I will marry you, in fact just being in the same room as you makes me physically ill and I think it's time I tell everyone in this room the truth. I don't love Edward, never have, never will. He's been lying to all of you about me just like he lied about Bella."

Everyone in the room snarled besides Carlisle and Esme. "You remember what I told you I would do to you if you ever did this again kid?" Garrett snarled at him.

"Oh, It won't only be Edward getting hurt today, Garrett. Carlisle, Esme, would you like to tell everyone what's been going on in your home?" They looked at me puzzled but I think they both knew there was no escaping this. "Jasper, Emmett, I lied to you both. Every time I told you I was fine, every time I was hurt and I told you I was just clumsy. Edward has been beating me almost daily since the day Bella left." Emmett went to lunge at him but was caught by Rose who seemed to want to hear the rest. Edward tried to go for the door but Jasper and Alice blocked their exit, Rose and Emmett moving to the other so no one could leave while Bella and Garrett moved to my sides so no one could harm me while I continued. "Edward told Carlisle I was 'difficult' so he allowed him to do whatever he had to, to turn me into the perfect obedient mate. Edward was planning to take me away after graduation and force me to marry him, force me to mate with him so there would be no way I could ever leave him, he just didn't know he was a day too late. Emmett, Jazz, every night I begged you to stay with me, not to leave to hunt, to leave me alone in a house with Edward, it wasn't because you kept the nightmares away, it was because I was terrified he would get it into his head one day to force me to mate with him when no one was there to stop him...I was terrified to go to sleep at night, you were the only people in the world who made me feel safe." My mark was practically on fire at this point and I knew Nik was restraining himself from coming in here, wanting me to get it all out while they were still listening. "I want to thank you guys for that, you got me to this point and now I don't have to be scared anymore."

"This doesn't change anything, you still need to be turned and I'll still claim you as my mate when you are. What did this little temper tantrum get you?" Edward laughed.

"Your attention, you all to listen to me for once, just once, before I let my mate kill you." Everyone in the room except Jasper was now confused and looking at me until the front door slammed open. I saw Jasper flinch and I knew he could feel how intense Nik's anger truly was as he walked up the stairs and turned the corner, coming into everyone's view. Carlisle gasped, though he was the only one who seemed to know who Nik really was, Edward gasping as he read Carlisle's mind.

"Do you feel better love? Getting it off your chest must have helped quite a bit." I nodded slowly, careful not to jostle my aching head. Nik took my face into his hands, seeing the bruise, feeling this bump on the back on my head and sighing, letting his fangs grow out and biting into his hand. Rose, Esme, Alice, Bella and Emmett gasped, not knowing there was another kind of vampire in the world though Garrett now looked a lot more on alert, holding Bella behind him, not like he was ready to fight but like he was ready to flee. I took his injured hand into my mouth and drank slowly, letting my injuries heal before everyone's eyes. "For those of you who don't know my name is Niklaus Mikaelson. Most people call me Klaus now a days. I am of the original family, one of the first vampires to walk the earth 1000 years ago." No one spoke, no one moved, everyone was trying to figure out who was in trouble and who wasn't. "The only people I'm here to harm are Edward, Carlisle and Esme, everyone else can calm down." They visually did. "Everyone else was a friend to my mate when she needed it and I thank you all for that, especially Jasper and Emmett. If you ever need anything, I owe you." They nodded. "You however, you're going to die today." Edward had been dragged over to sit beside Carlisle and Esme on the couch. "You I have no real issue with except your gross tolerance of the awful things done to someone you considered your child." He spoke to Esme. "However you did not hurt her yourself, therefore I have no reason to make you suffer." As he finished his sentence her head was rolling across the floor and Carlisle began screaming. "You allowed your son...in fact, encouraged your son to hurt my mate...why? That's all I want to know, why did you sit by and watch her suffer?"

"Edward wanted her, I told him he could have whoever and whatever he wanted when I changed him, that's why he stayed with me at first, then Esme wanted a son, I gave him whatever he wanted so he wouldn't leave and break her heart. What would you do for your mates happiness?" He snarled but Nik laughed.

"Anything, but you see, the difference between us is my mate wouldn't let someone else hurt so that she could have what she wanted. She's a good person, I'm not, but she is. And I will never let anyone hurt her, that is my promise to her." Nik took a little longer with Carlisle, tearing all of his limbs off before finally removing his head. "Now you see, the thing is I don't want to know your reasons, they're probably crazy and deranged but there's one thing I do want, and that's to tell you that you lose." Edward growled loudly and I couldn't keep the smile from my face. "She wins, I win, and do you know what I won?" Nik paused, knowing exactly what was going to piss Edward off the most. "I won that perfect innocence you tried to preserve." Edwards eyes were practically on fire as Nik told him that. "She gave it to me happily, freely." Jasper grabbed Edward as he tried to jump at Nik, though my mate didn't even flinch.

"I'm confused, what did Edward want?" Emmett asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Edward told me about how he was engaged before he got sick as a human, the women cheated on him and gave herself to his friend before their wedding day, the day before their wedding was the day he went into the hospital." I explained. "He was obsessed with having a girl who was completely his, innocent and pure, and it is truly an obsession. I told Nik, I wasn't even allowed to touch myself. The fact that I'm Nik's makes it even harder for Edward I suppose, and makes Nik's ego even larger."

"If that's possible." Bella spoke to me and I laughed, high fiving her.

"I'm right here love." I shrugged. "Garrett, would you like to take some shots before I end him?" Garrett jumped up, fully prepared to give Edward the beating of his life for hurting his mate. "Feeling better love?" I nodded, leaning into Nik contently about to press my lips to his when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. "What is it?"

"Pity it has to go to waste." The archway that had been for the wedding I was supposed to be a part of today was decorated with white flowers and ribbon. "Esme did a nice job, it's pretty."

"Well...I suppose we don't have to let it go to waste..." I looked up at Nik who was smirking down at me, pulling a ring off of his hand and looking to me. "You can pick one you like later...what do you say?" I was stunned at his forwardness but figured I shouldn't be.

"You want to get married, right now?" Nik nodded and I grinned. "Jasper, you got ordained for Garrett and Bella's wedding right?" Jasper looked up from where Garrett was beating Edward with his own foot and nodded.

"Yes, it's good for 10 years, why?" I looked up at Nik, content with how my life had changed in only 2 days.

"What do you say love?"

"I do."

If someone hasn't asked yet Pricegravesnik for that ship thing :D

Ooohhh a challenge! Let's see where this goes lol

They're all married for this btw

If anyone wants to submit another ship, please do so! If you actually have other ideas for the questions "Like who takes the hottest showers?" then I'd love to hear them!

Who was the one to propose? Actually I want to say Price when he proposed to Nik. I want to say neither were willing to commit to marrying each other for a couple years until something happened and Price realized it's never a guarantee to keep the good things in life, so might as well keep them close while you can. Nik's the one that started the flirting with Graves and wanted to propose to him, but Graves beat him to it. (my tired brain made me read that as Graves proposed to himself, which honestly? He would. He'd do it just to mess with them and go "Sorry, I'm already engaged")

Who stressed more over wedding planning? I genuinely see Nik as the one that was flipping out the whole time. Graves was surprisingly the least stressed (he was recruiting his Shadows for help shhhhh) and Price was experiencing about the normal level of stress you'd expect for a wedding.

Who decorated the house? Graves. In truth, it was a mostly group effort; Price's favorite recliner is there, Nik's very nice, suspiciously acquired liquor cabinet, a few things they've both received from Laswell, Farah, Alex, and the 141 boys. But Graves is the true decorator. Granted, most of this stuff is gifts from the Shadows when they heard he was getting married.

Who does the cooking? I, again, want to say Graves's Southern ass does, but like... I feel like Price knows his way around a kitchen, ya know? Nik is banished from kitchens.

Who is more organized? None of them are necessarily organized per say. Graves is the best at keeping the appearance of being organized but in reality it's Price. Graves's planners are always neat, his desk is always neat, but that doesn't mean shit. Price's office always looks like Nik landed a copter too close but he knows exactly where everything is and he's the most on top of schedules/appointments/important dates.

Who suggested kids first? Nik. Like as a serious suggestion. He's seen the way both his husbands are, and he just knows they'd be wonderful dads. Desperately wants to be a girl dad.

Who's the cuddler? Nik is the cuddliest, but Graves is a close second. Price just wants some fucking peace and quiet.

Who is big spoon/little spoon? Graves always ends up the little spoon of at least one of them. As much as he tries his best to be a big spoon and big spoon only, he always ends up in the middle of them with one wrapped around behind him. Nik is always a big spoon though, and somehow Price ends up being the little spoon. (Graves is not complaining, he's got two bears for husbands so you know ending up in the middle of that is hella nice. And he should be thankful) *I am extremely jealous of Graves now but I have no one to blame but myself and maybe @midnight193 for submitting this ship*

What's their favorite non-sexual activity? Probably something quiet, but at the same time they're all so chaotic it'd never stay quiet long, so I almost want to say something like *mind blanks* Um.... Honestly? Bowling. Don't ask me why, it just popped in there and now I can't get that mental image out of my head. That or axe-throwing cause they're each such show-offs. Graves gets a +2 strength bonus when the Shadows are around

Who comes home drunk at 3am? Nik. Is there really any other answer? It's not often, it's still a rarity, but still. That! Or it's Graves after a party with his Shadows. He's always absolutely blasted after social engagements involving alcohol with his Shadows

Who kills the spiders? Price. None of them are afraid, but Graves did have one really bad allergic reaction once and ever since then Price is the one to kill the spiders. Nik tried using fire once. It did not work. He is no longer allowed to kill spiders, even though he promises to never do it again

Who falls asleep first? Hot take? Graves. He's going 100 all day and just crashes once it's bedtime. Sometimes, if Nik and Price are coming home late, they walk in to see Graves just sprawled out on the bed, having not even bothered taking his jeans off and he is out cold. (of course they always gently get him into bed proper and that's how he ends up in the middle)

A head-canon? Nik is a human furnace, which is partly why he has to be one of the ends when they cuddle/sleep. There have been times where he's ended up in the middle and Price is just on the floor cause HOT. Graves, a true Texan (he's Texan right? *I am having an existential crisis over this for some reason??*) is used to the heat, and is secretly sometimes reminded of home with it, so he's okay with being swarmed by human heater Nik. Price, a fucking Brit, can't stand it when he's too warm for comfort. He'd rather kill his back sleeping on the floor or their really shitty couch than be trapped with that. A second one because why not? Price always ends up being the "victim" of sexual jokes/blatant nasty flirting from Graves and Nik. He can be chilling, minding his business, and suddenly one of them says something really dirty to the other and Price, the poor thing, it's not his fault he gets so easily flustered!

Do they have any rituals? Graves has so many rituals when it's Shadow Olympics week. There's too many to count but they're all vital for his team winning, and even some of them to ensure none of his Shadows are harmed/all have fun. Nik constantly teases him for being a dad, which ends up in Graves calling himself Daddy and making Price snort his tea. Price has incredible oral hygiene, and the other two have pretty normal routines for that sort of thing. Nik's only "ritual" is the series of stretches he does before flying. It took a while for Graves to be able to witness it, so Price once recorded it and sent it to him.

Who has the most patience? Nik, a thousand times over. Price has to deal with Soap, Ghost, and Gaz on a constant basis. And those boys are so needy they can't just leave him alone during leave, either! Graves can be pretty patient, but after a long day of dealing with hyperactive Shadows and a giant techie with chronic anxiety, he gets a little snippy. Nik on the other hand? Totally chilled out like 90% of the time. He's had a couple of bad days where he'll scowl at someone annoying him and the very rare occasions that he does lose his cool. Ghost has witnessed this once, and the rant Nik was on wasn't even directed at him, but he's still traumatized by it (@cod-dump has an incorrect quotes that definitely inspired this. In fact! Mike is the fucking reason I'm obsessed with Graves now! So *angrily stomps but it's more like a cute puppy* damn you! This is your fault!)

Gif that sums up their relationship?

I dunno I tried. I searched too long and this is all I could come up with

#john price #captain john price #cod nikolai #phillip graves #nikpricegraves #pricenikgraves #snootles's askbox #snootles answers #price headcanons #john price headcanons #graves headcanons #nikolai headcanons #the ot3 is ot3-ing

description: after finding her friend overdosing, they have a heavy talk about his addiction and his desire to get help

pairing: nikki sixx x female!reader

warnings: swearing, mentions of drugs, mentions of overdosing, lil angst?

masterlist (one, two)

It wasn’t the first time I had found Nikki in the midst of one of his highs. In fact, it was becoming such a regular occurrence that I usually expected Nikki to be high as a kite whenever I went to see him.

What I didn’t expect this time around was to find him almost dead. Or...I guess completely dead.

I had gotten a call from one of his junkie friends - also nothing new. He sounded frantic and scared as he tried to tell me there was something wrong with Nikki. I thought at first that maybe he was just too high and was freaking out because Nikki was also high, so I wasn’t too alarmed at first. I drove to the address that the guy had given me, convinced that I was going to have to carry Nikki back home yet again and nurse him through his heroin hangover.

When I showed up to the house and found it completely abandoned, a feeling of dread started to grow in me. I walked into the house to find Nikki on his own, passed out, with ghostly pale skin and dried vomit on his mouth and chest. My heart stopped as I fell next to Nikki and checked his pulse. When I couldn’t find one, I immediately called 911.

The ride to the hospital was mostly a blur. The paramedics let me ride with Nikki, but I was basically curled up in an anxiety filled ball as I watched them trying to operate on Nikki. Just when I had lost all hope of him being helped, one of the paramedics injected him with something and he gasped back to life.

Nikki was put in a hospital room to make sure the drugs fully left his system before he was discharged. They allowed me to stay with him since he had no other immediate family to call. I slept in the chair by his bedside while he went through his detox, which was probably the most uncomfortable I had ever been. But I didn’t want to leave until I knew Nikki was okay. I wanted him to wake up so I could tell him that I couldn’t keep doing this.

I was eating a bland hospital food meal when Nikki woke up. I watched him slowly come to life before taking in his surroundings. He turned his head and focused his attention on me.

“(Y/N)? Where am I?” he asked.

“The hospital,” I responded. “Do you remember much about last night?”

He shook his head. “I don’t remember anything.”

“You...um...well, you overdosed, Nik. Your heart stopped and everything. One of the paramedics managed to re-start it in the ambulance.”

“Oh.” I couldn’t read his facial expression, but I assumed he was shocked by this news. Or at least I hoped he was.

I sat at the edge of my chair, looking down at my hands. I couldn’t look at him. The words bubbling in my throat were hard to get out.”

“Nik, I can’t do this anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

I started picking at my hands. My vision was becoming blurry, but I refused to let Nikki see. I had to remain strong so I didn’t back down from this decision.

“I can’t keep watching you nearly kill yourself with drugs. I can’t keep finding you high out of your mind and having to take care of you until you’re well enough to shoot up again.”

“What are you saying, (Y/N)?”

I took a deep breath and forced out, “I can’t be friends with you while you’re like this, Nikki. I can’t keep doing this to myself.”

Silence filled the room. I was picking at a hangnail on my thumb until I accidentally made it bleed. I stuck my thumb in my mouth to try and combat the bleeding, which resulted in me finally looking up at Nikki. He was looking at me with sad eyes. I was a little caught off guard by the reaction and felt guilt building inside of me.

“You...you don’t want to be friends anymore?” he asked. “(Y/N), we’ve been friends since we were in diapers. You really want to end all that?”

I nodded. “I have to, Nikki. I can’t do this anymore. This isn’t good for me, and I can’t come to your rescue and worry that I’m going to find you dead permanently.”

“That’s not gonna happen.”

“I didn’t think so either, until I walked into a crack house to find you unresponsive and alone.”

“That’s because those idiots left me. That won’t happen again.”

I shook my head. My guilt was quickly being replaced with anger. He wasn’t understanding what I was saying. He wasn’t understanding the severity of the situation I had found him in the night before. He wasn’t going to get clean, he was just thinking about when he could get his next high.

I had to get out of there. I was no longer worried that I would go back on my decision, but rather I was worried of what I might say while angry. I got up from my chair, my body aching from being there for so long, and collected my things to leave.

“So this is it?” Nikki questioned as I headed for the door. “A lifetime of friendship and you’re throwing it away while I’m recovering from a near death experience?”

“Don’t give me that shit, Nikki!” I snapped. “It wouldn’t have been a near experience if it weren’t for me! In fact, there has probably been a number of times I’ve saved your ass. And do I get so much as a ‘thank you, (Y/N)’, ‘I appreciate you, (Y/N)’, ‘I’ll stop taking drugs and nearly killing myself, (Y/N)’?”

“I never asked you to do any of that.”

“No, you didn’t, but I still did. Because I love you. And I can’t watch the man I love killing himself anymore!”

The silence that hung between us was thicker now. I felt a wetness on my cheek as I realized I had finally let the tears start falling. This was exactly what I hadn’t wanted to say, but now it was out there and I couldn’t take it back.

I quickly threw myself out of Nikki’s hospital room. I made a beeline for the elevator, trying to put as much distance between me and that room as I could.

At least admitting my feelings made it easier for him to let me go, I thought to myself.

The sudden sound of hospital machines beeping followed by voices yelling drew my attention back to Nikki’s room. The brunette rock star was trying to shove past the number of hospital staff that was trying to coax him back into his room.

“Sir, you’re still detoxing, you have to go back to your room until the doctor discharges you,” a nurse was saying as she tried to push Nikki back into his room.

“I’ll go back in if she comes with me,” Nikki said, pointing towards me.

I felt my face heat up with embarrassment as the staff looked at me. “Nikki, you have to finish your treatment. Go back in and I’ll come see you when you’re better.”

“I don’t believe you,” he said. “I think if you walk out now that I’ll never see you again, and you can’t leave me after what you just told me.”

It felt like my throat was closing over from trying to hold back the fresh tears welling in my eyes. I managed to choke out, “I can’t.”

Nikki finally managed to break away from the staff trying to restrain him and rushed over to me. Before I could realize what he was doing, his hands were grabbing my face and his lips were on mine. It was far from being the picture perfect kiss you see in romantic comedies. It was rough and almost felt desperate. But it was a kiss, and I couldn’t help but get lost in it because it was something I had been dreaming of for years.

It was broken up when two hospital guards appeared and grabbed Nikki, forcing him away from me and back to his room. He tried to fight against them, but when he saw that I was following them now he stopped and allowed them to put him back in his bed and hook him back up to the machines he had been attached to.

I sat back down in the uncomfortable chair and we were right back to where we had been moments before, as if the last ten minutes hadn’t happened at all.

“So,” I started, “was that...real?”

He gave me a funny look. “How could it not be real?”

“I don’t know, it could’ve just been a tactic to get me to come back into the room.”

Nikki chuckled a little. “You don’t think there’s even the smallest possibility that I did that because I also have feelings for you and I didn’t want you to walk away without me telling you that?”

I shrugged my shoulder, which caused him to laugh again. “You’re so cute.”

It was hard not to smile when he said that, but I quickly wiped the smile from my face. “I still mean what I said, though. This admitting that we have feelings for one another isn’t going to change my mind. If anything, I’m much more firm on my decision that I’m not going to sit around and watch you kill yourself.”

Nikki sighed and nodded his head. “I know. I have a problem, (Y/N). I didn’t want to admit it, but I always knew that I did. I crashed Tommy’s wedding because I was high, I’ve ruined friendships, I almost died. I almost lost you. It’s just not worth it anymore. I can’t keep living like this.”

I moved closer to his bed and took his hand in mine. When his eyes met with mine I felt like my breath was taken away. He was always so handsome, even now when he was being his most vulnerable with me. Especially now that he was being his most vulnerable with me.

“We’ll get you help, Nik,” I told him. “There’s plenty of good rehab facilities you can go to, or you can try and do it on your own without the help of professionals. Either way, I’m going to be by your side every step of your recovery.”

“And when I’m clean, I’m going to do what I should’ve done a very long time ago and I’m going to take you out on a proper date.”

I smiled again at him and said, “It sounds like a deal.”

hi nik, happy new year! i was wondering if you had any tips for scene selection because your blending/choice of scenes is always so pleasing :) thanks for all your help!

hi!! happy new year <3 ah thank you so much! i'm terrible at explaining blending bc i tend to just slap stuff on top of each other and hope for the best sldkfjlksd but i'll try to give a couple of tips using the miles set i posted today!

tip 1: choose scenes that match your lyrics/quote if you can this is my usual first step when choosing a scene bc i want to emphasize the themes of my set. i worry later if it's even photoshoppably possible to blend them lol. for the gif i'm using as an example, i wanted to convey a sense of anxiety and contemplation, as well as show a moment where miles was surrounded by the "everyone" mentioned in the quote

tip 2: map things out before spending too much time on the final if you screencap like me, you know this is the most tedious step in gifmaking 😪 so instead of screencapping a bunch of potential scenes for 20+ min, just grab one frame from each scene you might want to use, and test if they'd be possible to blend. i layer them, resize them a bunch of times, move them around, until i get something i like and seems doable in gif form. then, once you know it's possible, you can screencap the whole scene and make it into a gif. these are the static images i played around with before coloring or fully screencapping:

(i also like to map out my typography beforehand sometimes!)

tip 3: choose scenes with large sections of darkness or solid colors when you blend with "screen" mode (as most gifmakers do), it means the light area of scene A will be visible over the dark area of scene B and vice versa. i like to choose scenes that look like silhouettes, scenes with large portions of solid colors, or scenes where the main source of brightness comes from the subject's face. here's what each of my scenes looked like before and after coloring, so you can get an idea of what i'm trying to manipulate for a smooth blend:

tip 4: use a soft brush to erase bits you don't want i almost always erase some bits from blended gifs! especially if it's intersecting with a focal point of my gif and causing a distraction. sometimes, i even use a levels layer to darken things and then paint over the layer mask to create the darkness i need as explained in tip 3

i think those are my best blending/scene selection tips! again, i'm super bad at explaining this particular effect. but there are tons of amazing blending tutorials on the usergif resource directory you can check out too! i hope this helped a bit! :)

Darker matters (part 8)

Masterlist Previous part

Angst Pairing: Nikolai x Olga 'Zhar' Samoilova Summary: The completion of the rescue mission Warnings: Swearing, mention of kidnapping

Thanks: My very important people: @siilvan, @homicidal-slvt, @sofasoap and @gamergirlbonestaskforce141riot. @pale-elysium I love you so much.

Zhar barely catches, what exactly Ghost and Krueger are growling at each other. One of them points to a now empty window frame, and Olga looks there. The lower threshold of the frame is painted with a dark scarlet, and reddening wet lines stretch from the window sill to the floor. She gathers all the strength to concentrate and remember, what happened, but two men shouting above her make it almost impossible.

Their voices echo, mix together with the noises of the battle unraveling on the lower floor. Olga can only make out something about medic evac. For a split second she's afraid, they are planning to send her off, but then Ghost shakes his head.

Krueger curses, looking from Ghost to Zhar. Then he finally leans closer to her and asks, ‘how's your pain limit, commander?’.

“Ask my burnt ass,” Olga winces.

“She's going to be alright.” Ghost stands up and takes the gun out of the holster. “Behave, commander, and I'll bring you a gift. Served just as you wanted.”

He disappears around the corner to Krueger's displease. He doesn't hide it, frowning while he undoes Zhars vest and pulls the med bag closer. It takes him a few moments to stop the stream of frustrated thoughts regarding the outsider among them in such a critical mission and concentrate fully on his commander's wounds.

“Ok, lets, oh fu-” He pauses, glances at Olga's paling face. “Let's make it quick - I promise to be gentle, you - to not fire me, if it hurts too much.”

***

“Affirmative, out.” Iskra flips the switch on her comms and turns back to the rest of her team.

“Krueger got Zhar, we're not waiting for them. Once again: two people, who leave this shithole on their two,” she points at the door leading to the lowest level of the base, “are Nikolai and Sedmi. I want every other one dead by the time, we are done.”

“Which ones of you are assigned to get Sedmi?” The question sounds from the darkest corner of the hall and only the outlines of a white skull mask give away the fact, that somebody actually stands there.

Others turn their heads towards the voice, but nobody answers: they've already heard through comms, that they have a ‘guest star’ today, but none of them is sure, if the man is worth of their trust.

“Us three,” Iskra points at herself and two other soldiers. After all, if Zhar trusts him - that means something. “You with us?”

“Won't even notice me.” Ghost checks his gun and takes a step forward.

***

By the time, they descend to the subterranean level of the base, Iskra is sure: this is the place, where they keep Nikolai. They've checked every meter of the upper levels and Sedmi and Nik were not there.

Their shadows cling to every corner and the hum of machinery reverberate through narrow passages.

Iskras group stops right before the long dark hall and waits for their technician to work his magic. He manages to bring the lamps back to life only for a few short moments, but that's enough. The flicker of harsh fluorescent lights offers much needed glimpses of the subterranean battleground. Silhouettes of enemies materialize in the shadows, and hungry for blood Chimeras press forward.

Short, bright flashes of gunfire and dim flashing lights from cameras and alarms briefly illuminate scenes of brutality. Chimeras are trained to fight quickly and with maximum efficiency. But now the fatigue and irritation accumulated over the long weeks of preparation for the operation are making themselves felt: soldiers do not hide the pleasure with which they are slaughtering the remnants of Sedmi’s army.

Leading her men forward, Iskra loses the sight of Ghost, but that doesn't bother her anymore - she's too concentrated on her goal. Every step forward comes at the cost of sweat and grit, as the enemy, cloaked in shadows, retaliate with a relentless determination to protect their bargaining chip - Nikolai.

The moment, when her eyes meet Sedmis marks the shift in her fighting style. If Iskra was searching for anything, that could point her in the right direction before - she now was full of determination to get that man.

Iskra sees desperation in his face, sees a cornered animal instead of a warrior, and stops holding back. She follows him, as the man runs to a door at the end of the hall, closes the gap with relentless strides, feasting upon the fear, that she catches in his eyes, each time he looks back at her.

There are not more than a few meters left between them, when bullets trace the air right above Iskras head. She drowns to the floor, distracted by enemy fire and curses, hearing, how Sedmi frantically fumbles with the lock.

In the heat of battle, out of the corner of her eye, she notices a blurry shadow gliding very close. Her gaze catches on a large silhouette, and, clinging to the wall, she turns around and sees Ghost. He appears behind Sedmi’s back so quietly that he remains unnoticed until rises to his full height. With a precisely controlled movement, he hits the enemy in the temple with his elbow, and Sedmi falls to the ground.

***

Nikolai thought of the possible scenarios of him finally meeting Olga again almost constantly. To kill time, to forget the physical pain, to remain calm, to not let intrusive thoughts with other scenarios in.

He forgets his plans for a short time, when the door to his room is opened and he sees Iskra.

“Iskorka, spasibo, moya zolotaya.*” Nik smiles as she walks in and sets him free from the restraints.

As if sensing the question, that eats him alive, Iskra says ‘she's here, now let's go get you to the medics, commander.’

Despite him being perfectly fit to fight the remnants of Sedmis army, Iskra leads Nikolai straight to the stairway. He doesn't protest though, sensing, how worried she is about finally getting her commander back. Nik glances around and takes a mental note about an unsettlingly great number of enemy bodies, lying on the floor.

“Chimera partnered with someone for this?”

“Chimera grew bigger, while you were away,” for the first time Iskra, always so concentrated and serious, smiles.

Nikolai doesn't have too much time to think about her answer though, because when they emerge on the first floor - they meet Zhar.

Nik freezes, stops in his tracks and just watches her pass by, seemingly not even noticing him. She looks nothing like a month before, when they saw each other last time. She's just a wraith, a mere shadow of herself: skin pale to the point, when it looks grayish, jerky movements, cold, lifeless eyes. Olga advances forward steadily, but it doesn't escape Nikolais eyes, that she uses the wall as support to avoid falling.

Ignoring Iskras hand, clasping to his shirt, he takes a step to Olga, all the scenarios of him holding her, hiding her from any harm and finally comforting her coming back to life in his head. Iskra calls out Zhar, saying, they have Nikolai at last. Olga doesn't slow down or turn to them. The words, that she throws over her shoulder, feel like a punch in the guts, like an invisible wall, that stops Nik.

“Get him as far as possible from here.”

***

Sedmis head is killing him with a potent ache and deafening ringing noise. At first, he doesn't want to open his eyes, but the disorientation makes him feel dizzy to the point, when he has to see, if he is lying on the floor, sitting, or really being constantly swirled around, as he feels.

Blinking against the dim light, he becomes aware of the confining reality - the good news is that he's seated. Immobilized and tied to a chair, yes, but seated. You won't seat a man, unless you don't want to speak to.

The bad news is the man, dragging a table to the center of the room. Sedmi heard of this one.

“So you are the guy, the bitch assigned to kill me? How do they call you, a Phantom?”

The man ignores Sedmi and touches the light bulb flickering above his head. Blinking a couple more times, the lamp lights up with a dim but even light. As he looks right at it, Sedmi notices drips of blood running down his mask and gear.

“How is it going to happen. You shoot me? Ain't no way, Price would let you keep me.”

His captor slowly squints, looking at him, but not turning his head from the lamp. After a few minutes of silence, he walks behind Sedmi and tightens up the knots, restraining him.

“My job here is to keep you alive.” Sedmi doesn't like, how this mans voice sounds. There is a big part of calmness there, but there is also an anticipation.

Zhar enters the room and Sedmi relaxes: despite the coarse texture of the ropes biting into his flesh right through his clothes, despite the masked silent enigma standing somewhere behind him, Sedmi feels, he might after all regain control over the situation. When it comes to Olga - Sedmi always knows, where to push to make her do stupid things, she might regret later.

“So you bring this beast with you, and he's the good cop here?” Sedmi chokes on quiet laughter, his shoulders shake, but almost immediately feels the men hand gripping the back of his neck.

“How much did you pay him? And for what? How would he explain getting involved in an operation to save an ass in the international-class criminal?”

Zhar doesn't react to Sedmis rant - she leisurely sits down on the opposite chair and throws a folder with some papers on the table. Her captive continues to hurl insults and questions, but Olga’s unfocused gaze pierces through him, and her hands rummage through all her pockets. Finally, her face comes to life, and she takes out an inhaler in a bright children's case and places it on the table right before Sedmi.

He falls silent as soon as he sees that. The room seems to tighten its grip on him, amplifying the gravity of the situation. He swallows hard, tasting the metallic tang of fear.

“Where's he?” Sedmis first question is barely audible. None of his captors reacts to it, so he asks once again. Only this time he screams.

“Where's he? Where is my son?! What did you do, you sick fuck?!”

“Now you're asking the right questions…” Olga answers in a calm tone, contrasting with his shouts. Then she looks up and addresses to her colleague.

“Can do it alone.”

No answer from behind, not even the slightest movement. Zhar sighs with some unhealthy hissing sound escaping her lungs and her gaze falls back on Sedmi.

“Last few weeks were quite busy, hm?” She leans forward, her fingers trace invisible lines on the desk around the inhaler. “Monitoring Chimera newest hires, cutting off our supply chains, listening to my phone calls, talking to me, sending that guy after my informants… And taking care of Nikolai, of course. Did I miss anything? Side jobs, reports to your friends?”

Her captive remains silent, catching every word, that escape her lips.

“So many things to do, so little time for your family. At first, I did believe, you were smart enough to not have one. But Chimera is a creature with many eyes and ears. While you were enjoying me failing terribly at following your orders to ruin the company - my many eyes were watching, where you send your most trusted men, my many ears were listening to your late night talks. Ada was right by the way - you should have brought more time with her and Luka. Such a beautiful wife, such a sweet little kid.”

Sedmi shudders, his hands involuntarily try to stretch forward, but his captor has tied him securely.

“My first intention was to visit your big shiny villa, the one with the million dollar view. Ada talked so much about the incredible treats that your personal chef made you there… I just had to check it.” Zhar takes a folder and drags the first paper out of it.

A photo falls on the desk before Sedmis eyes and what he sees on it makes his heart skip a beat: his and Adas bedroom burnt. Black walls, iron bed base merely peeking from a huge pile of ashes, dark pieces of fabric and plastic, empty picture frames laying on the floor.

“I have Lukas room too, have a peek.” She throws another photo before him - Sedmi doesn’t risk looking at it.

“Where are they?” He growls at her.

“Don't you act as if I could find them in your main property. We both know, it's not like that.” Zhar seems to miss his question completely. “To be honest - I wasn't surprised either. It would be too obvious, and besides, it would take so much more men to actually guard such a place and not just make an impression. So I moved further to your other secret harbors.”

Sedmi feels that he slowly but surely becomes a helpless spectator in his own harrowing drama. Images lay bare the shattered remnants of what once were sanctuaries. His and Ada's houses, every room and every memory, are now not more than charred skeletons standing as grim reminders of Zhars wrath. The wrath, that becomes somewhat familiar to him after yet another photo.

“Nikto… That bloody merc was claiming to be incorruptible. Did you pay him, blow him? How did you convince that bastard to make a full theater play for me? Fucking beautiful…”

“You think, Nikto was your weak link?” Olga methodically flips through the photographs, each depicting the ruins of familial havens. “Nikto was your best man, Sedmi: he never betrayed you - he was assigned to scare me and Nikolai, and he did just that. I only helped him a little. But enough about him - it's Ada and Luka, we are looking for, right? So many places, they were not at.”

She picks a photo from a folder and the corners of her lips jump up for a brief moment.

“Now this place is special. A modest one, a secluded fortress. Your mother's house,” her whisper cuts through the silence like a blade.

Sedmis heart plummets, the chill of despair seeping into every fiber of his being. He could watch Zhar taking the keys to his kingdom, his men, his property - but not the fates of those he holds dearest.

“You fucking insect.” A spasm runs through Sedmis body making him shiver. “Sitting here, jerking off at your mightiness, after you killed a defenseless boy and wom-”

“I never said, they were dead.” Zhar rises on her elbows above the desk. “What, you think, I`m making this show just to tell you, I killed your beloved ones? No Sedmi, my dear seventh friend. I have other plans. Want to know, what are they?”

He nods, and Olga continues leaning forward to him.

“You will live a long life. And I will teach you, how to do it. You see, I know, who has a grudge against me. A year ago I orchestrated an operation with one particular fixer. We closed a jar with spiders, shook it well enough, and you guys started ripping each other's heads off. There is a reason why they call you Sedmi or ‘the seventh one’. You are part of them: a union, a cartel, a friend club - I couldn't care less, how you call it. But I know, there are many of you there: ‘the first’, ‘the second’, ‘the god knows which’ one... Many spiders not happy with a jar, I and Nikolai closed a year ago.”

She pauses, looks Sedmi in the eyes and touches his face.

“You will walk out of this military base on your two. It won't be easy, but eventually you will figure, how to set yourself free. Your army will be nonexistent anymore. You won't try to contact your bodyguards, because their bodies are lying on the ground at the crashsite of Nikolais helicopter. You will spend some time searching for Ada and Luka and find them at some point. You may as well give this back to your son…”

Zhar pushes the inhaler closer to Sedmi.

“You will find new ways to fund your life, purchase new place to live in, take your kid to school, make sure, your mom is back to normal after all the stress, she had to live through, take care of Ada…”

A faint smile blooms on her lips.

“But whatever you do - I want you to do it with one thought behind everything. When you hire new soldiers - I will know each name. When you buy a new house - I will have all the information on the deal even before you.”

Zhars whisper sounds right above his ear.

“I will know, your sons teachers names, I will choose the doctors, monitoring your mother, I will hear what your wife talks about with her friends on their kitchens while you're not around. I will see and hear and know everything, there is about your new little life. And from now on if any member of your group, I troubled a year ago, plots anything against the Chimera - it is your problem, Sedmi. If I even think, that something starts boiling up - it is your headache. And if I am not happy with your performance - I won't kill you, don't worry. You will live long enough to see your beloved ones agonies. Every last one of them, begging for a quicker death.”

Sedmi feels the masked mans grip tightening on the back of his neck once again, as Olga stops in mere inches from his face. The table creaks as she leans back, her hands never leaving the desk, as if she would fall as soon as she stops holding on to it.

“If you were waiting for a good time to say, that you got me right - this is your moment to shine.” She looks at him, not blinking, not even breathing, it seems.

Sedmi looks around, but his gaze can't concentrate on anything: the walls are blank, sterile, the lonely lamp above them stopped swaying a while ago. It feels as if everything around him, including Olga, is dead: empty shells pretending to be rooms, furniture and people.

And she, this half-burnt piece of meat is the very heart of this stillness. Sedmi doesn't fight the sudden urge to make her at least a bit more alive, and spits into her face.

Immediately, his face is being slammed against the desk - the masked one doesn't say a word, but he knows well enough, what he's doing. Pain pierces through Sedmis head like red-hot needles, and the world goes dark for a moment. Once he manages to rise his head once again - Sedmi notices, that photos of his destroyed houses are now painted red. He watches his saliva slowly flowing down Olgas jawline.

Zhar asks him again, if they are clear and this time her captive is more cooperative.

“C-crysh- Crystal clear.” It hurts even to speak, after the masked one turned his mouth into a bloody mess.

Sedmi gathers all his strength, and before Olga and the masked man leave the room, he speaks again.

“Hey Phantom-boy… You think, you're the hero, saved the day, punished some criminal piece of shit?” Zhar and the masked one freeze on their way to the exit.

“Of course you do. Think, I'm a waste, bloody trash. Well, it takes one to know one. So if you're thinking, you chose the right ally - look at her once again. That bitch, you're serving so well, is not a human anymore. Shes not even a creature - this one is a mold. Stops at nothing, eats up anyone, when it gets hungry. Today she's on my walls, but who knows where you find her tomorrow. So before you put on your ‘good boy’ collar this evening - think of your family in her hands.”

An unsettling silence permeate the room, broken only by the distant echoes of indistinct sounds. Olga holds up an open palm in a wordless request, and her colleague takes his knife out of the holster and gives it to her.

“Make sure, we don't get interrupted,” commands Zhar and the masked one leaves her alone with Sedmi.

Iskorka, spasibo, moya zolotaya.* - Sparky (Iskra is Spark in russian), thank you, my golden one

They Know

Pairing: Klaus x Reader

Word Count: 6322

Please Help me, First Turn, How Bout a Dance, Second Turn and Strained Bonds, A Choice is Made, Happy Birthday, Decade Dance, A Kidnapping, A Death in the Family, It Should Have Been you

A/n: I’m still writing this I just have shit time management skills.

Summary: With the reveal of Klaus still being alive your secret comes to life as certain members of the Mystic Falls gang now learn what you are, and just how similar to the Mikaelson's you really are.

“Nik?” You breathed out as you stared up at Tyler’s face with wide disbelieving eyes. He looked back at you with a satisfied smile resting on his face that just looked so much like a look that Klaus would give you.

“Hello, love. It’s not the original model I know, but it’s not a bad spare to use is it?” He commented as he smoothed his hands down his front straightening out his shirt with such a disgusted look on his face that it could only be Klaus inside of him.

“I… but… but how… who did you even… how? How is this possible?” You shouted at him as you ran your fingers through your hair struggling to make sense of the information that had just been given to you. Struggling to make sense of the fact that Klaus was now technically standing in front of you still very much alive and the fact that even though he was alive that hole inside of you was still there. That it still felt like someone had cut something away from you with a rusty knife despite the fact that he was still standing in front of you for the most part alive and well. It didn’t make sense to you how you could still feel so empty, so broken because mentally you were acknowledging the fact that Klaus is alive, that he’s still technically standing in front of you because it had to be Klaus inside of Tyler’s body why else would he have saved you over Caroline it’s the only thing that made sense. But despite that fact though physically it’s like you’re body wasn’t acknowledging anything. Physically it didn’t matter to you that Klaus was technically standing in front of you, all that mattered to not just you but also your wolf was the fact that even if it is Klaus inside Tyler’s body it’s still Tyler not Klaus. Because physically Klaus still may as well be dead and a pile of ash inside a coffin. Because physically Alaric had killed him and physically he was gone so it didn’t matter to your heart or to your wolf that he was standing in front of you inside Tyler’s body cause it’s still Tyler no matter which way you look at it. You swallowed down the lump that had begun to form in your throat as you shook your head forcing yourself to stop your spiral as you focused on Tyler again.

“Turns out that Bennett witch is far more loyal and concerned about her friends lives than any of them thought,” He explained. Mentally you thanked Bonnie for caring enough about Elena to have saved Klaus for you as you thought that though something else clicked inside of your head that had you narrowing your eyes at Tyler/Klaus.

“Wait a second, if Bonnie put you inside Tyler’s body then that means she had to have done it before Alaric killed you so have you been inside of Tyler’s body this whole time?” You asked him your voice terrifyingly calm as you looked at him and he at the very least had the audacity to look sheepish as he nodded his head.

“Yes,” He stated. You nodded your head slowly as you licked your lips before biting down on your bottom lip and before he could think to do anything you were hitting him on the chest.

“You fucking asshole! You’ve been inside of Tyler this whole fucking time and you didn’t think to tell me!” You screamed at him your anger suddenly rising up in you again. You took a step forward and shoved him with all of the strength that you possessed. A sense of satisfaction washed over you as you watched him stumble back away from you but you didn’t let him get far as you closed the distance between the two fo you and you hit him again.

“I thought you were dead! I thought you had died you selfish bastard! Why didn’t you come find me? Why didn’t you come and tell any of us! We mourned you! You selfish fucking bastard! Do you have any idea what I went through?” You shouted at him as you went to hit him again but he easily caught your wrist. You growled at him and went to hit him with your other hand but he just as easily caught that one, and you snarled at him as you pulled against his grip trying to break free so you could hit him.

“That’s enough love, I let you get in a few free hits but you’ll get no more,” He warned you and your sneered at him as you thrashed in his hold. His hands wrapped around your wrists were burning you again and the burning sensation only fueled your anger as you tried to break free of his hold.

“Let go of me you selfish bastard! You should have told me you were alive! Do you have any idea what I went through? What any of us went through when you died?! It felt like a part of me had been ripped out! Like a part of me had died when I thought you were dead and now you tell me that you’ve been alive this whole fucking time! Let go of me!” You screamed at him as you tried to drop to your knees but he easily caught you his arms wrapping around your waist and pulling you flush against Tyler’s chest. You growled low in your throat fighting against the burning sensation in your eyes and his hold as you pushed on his chest with your hands, trying to break out of his hold but he held on strong refusing to let you go. His face softened when he saw the way your frustrated tears fell down your face and he reached up with one hand to wipe the tears away but you jerked your head out of the way. He frowned momentarily but made no attempt to wipe your tears away again instead allowing you to do it on your own as you calmed slightly.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were alive Nik?” You asked him as you looked up at him, your eyes still wet with unshed tears. His arms tightened around your waist as he swallowed and you did your best to ignore the burning sensation that was steadily increasing in intensity the longer he held on to you.

“Because I had been hoping that the next time I saw you it would be after I’d already been put back into my original body, it was never my intention to hurt you love nor to keep this hidden from you for long but the Bennett witch is far more stubborn than she looks.” He explained and you sniffled the anger that you had felt fizzling out to that nothingness again as you pushed against his chest unable to take the burning anymore.

“Yeah well you did, you ass,” You grumbled still trying to get out of his hold but he held on to you still refusing to let go of you. “Nik, let go of me, it hurts.” And just like that his hands were off of you and he was taking a step back from you and you breathed out in relief the burning sensation beginning to fade away finally.

“Love, are you ok?” He asked you as he looked you over taking note of the relief that had seemingly flooded your body when he’d let go of you. The burning sensation that you felt whenever he touched you, and the disgusted shiver that’d raced down your spine when he’d called you love again only served to remind you of the fact that even though it was Klaus inside Tyler’s body it was still ultimately Tyler and not Klaus.

“Love?” He pressed when you didn’t immediately answer and you took in a deep breathe.

“I’m fine Nik, I just… I’m glad that you’re still alive even though I’m pissed off at you for not telling me sooner that you were alive,” You told him deciding it would be best to keep the fact that people’s touch had been burning you lately to yourself. Besides none of you had the time right now to figure out why it was suddenly burning you when someone else touched you. A small smile spread across his face as he looked at you and you gave him a little half smile before you let out a small sigh.

“Ok, so what do we do now?” You asked him and a serious expression spread across his face as he looked at you.

“Now, I bring you to the Lockwood Cellar where my original body is currently being hidden and then I will go and convince that Bennett witch to put me back in my original body I can’t stay in this one any longer that much is clear.” He stated as he stepped forward to take you in his arms so he could do just that but you took a quick step back your eyes widening.

“What? No! You’re not leaving me behind, I’m coming with you while you go to face Bonnie!” You shouted at him and he pressed his lips into a hard line annoyance and frustration flickering across his face as he looked at you.

“No you’re not, your life has already been in jeopardy once already today I won’t be putting at risk again, now come with me.” He made another grab for you but you jumped out of the way with a scuff as you rolled your eyes.

“No, I’m not. I’m not going to let you serquester me away in some dank and dusty cellar just because you think that I can’t handle Bonnie of all people, so I’m going with you whether you like it or not.” You stated as you crossed your arms over your chest and took another step away from him when he tried to grab you again. You glared at him and he glared right back his eyes full of annoyance and anger as he looked at you.

“No, you’re not.” He growled out his eyes glowing a faint reddish yellow and you could feel Tyler’s wolf trying to push his aura onto yours trying to force you into submission. But Tyler’s wolf’s aura was weak and pathetic when compared to your own and much more weak and pathetic when compared to Klaus’ natural wolf aura when he isn’t pushing his aura onto other people.

“Yes I am so either you take me with you or I follow you to wherever Bonnie is after you try and leave me behind, and trust me Nik it’s not going to be a hard thing to do Tyler’s scent is potent and lasting.” You threatened him. Tyler stared down at you still trying to push you into submission using his aura but you pushed back with your own. Determination filled your eyes as you stared at him and there was a very tense silence as the two of you continued to stare at each other. Sighing heavily he reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose as he closed his eyes and he kept his eyes closed for a solid minute while you smiled up at him already knowing that you had won this argument.

“You’re not going to give up on this are you?” He asked as he opened his eyes again to look down at you and you nodded your head.

“No I’m not, besides you’re going to need my help with Bonnie. You may be in Tyler’s body but you’re still Nik on the inside and she still hates your guts,” You stated and he made a face of agreement. He was silent for a moment again as he looked you over before sighing just as heavily as before and reluctantly nodding his head.

“Alright, fine. You can come, but the moment things start to get dangerous I’m getting you out of there, and more importantly the second I’m back in my original body I will be getting you out of there and there will be no complaints about it got it?” He bit out and your grin grew as you nodded your head.

“Understood now lets go, I’m tired of looking at Tyler’s used q-tip face,” You stated as you clapped your hands together. Tyler chuckled as he shook his head and took two quick strides towards you before wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you flush against his body. You ignored the way your skin blistered and burned at the contact, and the disgusted shiver that raced down your spine as well. God you couldn’t wait to get Klaus back in his original body to hopefully make this burning sensation go away.

“You do realize that once we do this, they’ll know about your connection to me and there will be no more hiding it after this,” He reminded you and you sighed softly.

“Yeah I know, but to be completely honest with you I haven’t been friends with them for a long time now and I think it’s time that they all realize that don’t you?” You asked him as you looked up at him and a wide pride filled smile spread across Tyler’s face as he looked down at you. In that moment you felt a weight lift off your shoulders a sense of freedom spreading throughout you as you realized that now you wouldn’t have to hide from them anymore. You wouldn’t have to be worried about them finding out you were with Klaus or that you were friends with his siblings. You were free now. Free to be friends with who you wished and to do what you wished without worrying about what the others would think or say about your actions. You were free to finally be you and it was the best feeling in the world right now. You grinned back up at Tyler and you felt his grip tighten just a fraction around your waist as he pressed you closer.

“Then lets go get my original body back,” He stated and in the next instant the world around you was nothing but a blur. You hid your face in Tyler’s chest trying to save yourself from the worst of the disorientation that speeding around like this caused you. It wasn’t until you felt Tyler come to a stand still and his arms slip away from your body that you lifted your head from his chest. Turning around your eyes widened slightly when you were greeted with not only the sight of the Old Witch House basement but also Bonnie and Jeremy standing a few feet away from the two of you. Their eyes were just as wide as yours as they looked between you and Tyler.

“(Y/N)?” Bonnie murmured as she looked between you and Tyler concern shinning brightly in her eyes.

“(Y/N)? Tyler? What are you two doing here? And Tyler I thought you were dead?” Jeremy asked the confusion and relief clear on his face as he took a step towards the two of you. Bonnie’s hand shot out grabbing a hold of Jeremy’s shoulder before he could get any further and at the same time Tyler was moving in front of you, shoving you behind him.

“Jeremy stop, that’s not Tyler,” Bonnie looked away from Jeremy and back towards the two of you. “Not entirely at least.” She finished. Jeremy’s brow furrowed as he looked from Bonnie and towards the two of you and he opened his mouth to say something but Bonnie cut him off.

“What are you doing here Klaus? Why do you have (Y/N)? What do you plan on doing to her?” Bonnie bit out. You bit the inside of your lip as you watched Tyler take a step towards the two of them.

“Nothing yet, so long as you do what I tell you too.” He threatened and you glanced from Tyler to Bonnie and Jeremy to see the two of them looking at Tyler with both anger and worry shinning in their eyes.

“And what is that?” Bonnie asked him and he smirked at the two of them.

“I want my original body back, now.” He ordered and both Bonnie and Jeremy tensed as they looked at him.

“What no way!”

“I can’t.” Bonnie and Jeremy said at the same time and you watched as Tyler tensed. You could feel his aura start to push out looking to force someone into submission and you clenched your fists besides you watching him closely waiting for him to launch into an attack.

“And why not? You had were able to put me in here in the frist place so, surely you should be able to put me back no problem,” He growled out and Bonnie audibly gulped.

“I did but I can’t now I’m not strong enough to do it now,” She said and Tyler let out a low growl as he took a step towards her. Jeremy reacted instantly by taking a step forward putting himself between Bonnie and Tyler not that it would do him much good when facing a hybrid.

“What do you mean you’re not strong enough to do it?” Tyler growled and you didn’t need to be looking at him to know that his eyes were most likely glowing right now. Bonnie shifted as she looked frantically between you and Tyler like you would be able to actually do something against him.

“I… I upset the spirits by trying to save Elena, I can’t use that kind of magic again it’s too dangerous,” She confessed and you froze. Your eyes widened as you felt your wolf slowly raise it’s head inside of you as you balled your hands into fists, a white hot anger began burning in your chest.

“What?” Your voice was terrifyingly calm as you stepped out fully from behind Tyler. Both Jeremy and Bonnie shared a confused look before turning those look onto you. You were currently doing everything that you could to hold back your wolf and the anger that was threatening to burn you alive at the very knowledge that there was a chance that Elena wasn’t dead. That the woman who was responsible for all of this, the woman who was at the epicenter of everything bad that had ever happened to you was actually still alive and not dead like she was supposed to fucking be.

“I,” Bonnie cleared her throat as she shared another look with Jeremy who shrugged his shoulders, “I upset the spirits trying to save Elena, she died with Damon’s blood in her system and she’s going through transition right now.” She looked back at you nervously. You nodded your head slowly as you pursed your lips and ran your tongue along your teeth. Breathing deeply through your nose you did your best to calm the wolf inside of you and your own anger as you felt your nails sharpening into points that bit into your skin. The pain was grounding to a point but it wasn’t enough to distract me from the anger or what Bonnie had just told you.

“So Elena’s on her way to becoming a vampire?” Your voice was still terrifyingly calm and you took a step forward out of Tyler’s reach when you felt his finger tips graze the back of your arm. Your mind raced with thoughts as you watched Bonnie slowly nod her head. Elena was still alive and even worse she was on her way to becoming a vampire. She was on her way to becoming an all immortal being who couldn’t die and wouldn’t die because Damon and Stefan wouldn’t let her but she was supposed to be dead. She should have died when Rebekah ran her off the fucking road. Her death was the only thing consoling you as you grieved for Nik and yet now here you were learning that she had escaped fucking death yet a-fucking-gain!

“Y-Yes, but she hasn’t drank any blood yet we’re trying to find an-” An animalistic growl cut Bonnie off and her eyes widened in fear as she looked at you. She shifted back half a step her hands rising up like she was trying to defend herself, as Jeremy took another step forward.

“(Y/N) what’s wrong with you?” Jeremy asked his arm out protectively in front of Bonnie. A humorless laugh escaped you as you shook your head and looked down at the ground the last of your control starting to slip away.

“Love, you need to calm down,” Tyler’s voice held a hint of warning to it and you stepped towards Jeremy and Bonnie again ignoring Tyler’s words as you looked back up at them.

“Things would be a lot better for me if your god damned sister would just stay fucking dead!” You shouted and this time Jeremy’s eyes widened the surprise in his eyes quickly being replaced with concern and anger.

“You don’t mean that (Y/N).” There was a hint of desperation in her tone as she took a step towards you but Jeremy held her back with his arm. Again you let out a humorless laugh that held just a hint of mania to it that had Jeremy forcing Bonnie to take another step back his eyes never leaving you.

“Hahaha no. No. No, I do, I do mean that. We would all be better off if Elena fucking Gilbert was dead. I mean just think about it, do you know who many people have died because of her? I mean if it wasn’t for her your aunt Jo would still be alive Jeremy, Alaric would still be alive, Caroline’s father would still be alive, Bonnie your mother wouldn’t be a vampire and your grandmother would still be alive, Vicky would still be alive too Jeremy, hell Caroline wouldn’t even be a vampire if it wasn’t for fucking Elena! Everyone would still be alive if it wasn’t for the cancer that is Elena Gilbert! So yes Bonnie I do mean I do wish that Elean would just fucking die already!” You screamed at them your anger finally getting the better of you. Your wolf was practically in control at this point as you growled low in your throat at all of them and they just stood there in shock.

“(Y/N)... please you have to calm down this-this isn’t you, I don’t know what Klaus has done to you but if you just clam down we can fix this ok?” Bonnie’s voice shook slightly as she spoke and you scuffed as you rolled your eyes. Stopping in your pacing you turned sharply on your heel to face them both a hard look on your face.

“See that’s where you’re wrong Bonnie, Nik and his family haven’t done anything to me in fact they’ve done more for me than Elena and the rest of you ever have, they’ve been there for me when the rest of you have been too busy dealing with Elena, helping Elena, saving Elena, Elena, Elena, Elena, it’s always been about Elena with you people. But with them,” You gestured to Tyler who was standing behind you never taking your eyes off of the worried/terrified look Bonnie and Jeremy were giving you.

“With them it’s actually about me, they actually care about me and you know what…” You trailed off as you slowly lowered your arm down a large smile spreading across your face when you saw Bonnie and Jeremy’s eyes widen when they noticed the claws that had extended on your hands. “I think it’s time I repay their kindness and get a little revenge for myself.” Your wolf was now more or less in control at this point as your eyes glowed yellow and before anyone could do anything you charged at Jeremy. Tackling him to the ground you landed a swift punch to his face causing him to stop any attempt at fighting back and allowing you to wrap both your hands around his neck.

“(Y/N)!” Bonnie shrieked from besides you. You dug your nails into Jeremy’s neck squeezing tightly as you snarled down at him. His hands flew up grabbing at your forearms trying to pull your hands off your neck as he bucked his hips but you didn’t even budge. Your anger and your wolf fueling your strength as you stayed where you were.

“Stay right there Bonnie or I rip little Gilberts throat out right now!” You shouted back at her and you looked away from Jeremy and towards her. She watched you her gaze flicking between you and Jeremy like she was waiting for you to do something, to say that you were joking, but when you didn’t took a step back from you both.

“(Y/N), please don’t! Let him go! Please!” She pleaded with you. You chuckled as you glanced over at Tyler to see him watching you with interested eyes and then you looked back at Bonnie. Truth be told you wanted to kill Jeremy right here and now, make Elena suffer in the way that you had because you knew that there was no one more important to Elena right now than her precious baby brother, not even the Salvatores. Of course he still had on that stupid ring so you’d have to take it off first before you could finish him off and while the idea of torturing him did sound appealing maybe you could use this all to your advantage to still accomplish your original goal. There was no way that Bonnie was going to buy you as the helpless hostage now, not after what you’d just done, but now you had a new bargaining chip one that was important to both Bonnie and Elena.

“Maybe, if you do something for me first.” Your voice was calm and held a saccharine sweetness to it as you looked away from Bonnie and back towards Jeremy tilting your head to the side. You loosened your grip just a fraction and he heaved in large gulps of air the color returning to his face.

“What? What do you want?” The desperation was clear in Bonnie’s voice as she looked between the two of you and threw a quick glance towards Tyler. Tyler hadn’t moved from his spot watching you with an increasing amount of interest. This was a side of you that he’d never seen either and he would be lying if he said it wasn’t a bit of a turn on watching you play the villain to people who were once your friends. He would also be lying if he said it wasn’t touching to see the extent that you were willing to go to in order to save him.

“I want you to put him back in his original body.” You stated plainly, gesturing with your head towards Tyler. Bonnie’s jaw clenched, her eyes filling with hatred as she glanced towards Tyler.

“I already told you that I can’t, I don’t have the strength to do it,” She stated. You nodded your head slowly as you began to squeeze Jeremy’s neck again cutting off his oxygen and digging the points of your claws into his neck.

“Well then, I highly suggest you find the strength to do so then because I have no problems killing Jeremy over and over again until you do find that strength, he is wearing the family ring after all.” Blood had started to pool around your claws, dripping down the curve of Jeremy’s neck as you added more pressure.

“(Y/N)! You don’t mean that! You can’t kill him!’ She shouted at you and you would have chuckled but Tyler beat you too it. Glancing away from Jeremy’s quickly reddening face and towards Tyler you saw him now leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and a smug look on his face.

“Oh but I think she can I think she fully intends on doing so. So, I would suggest you do as she says and what was it? Oh yes find the strength,” He commented and you returned the smirk that he was giving the both of you.

“I’d hurry up if I were you too Bonnie, Jeremy doesn’t look like he’s got a lot of air left in him.” You looked back down at Jeremy giving him a mock concerned look when you saw just how red his face had become. You loosened your grip on his neck just slightly and you felt as he started to breathe in air. Before he could take in a full breath or even start sucking down air you squeezed down again, pushing your nails further into his neck causing him make a pained sound. His nails clawed at you forearms trying to pull them off but you just smirked back at him his attempt doing little to move you.

“Ok! Ok! I’ll try! Please! Please just stop!” Bonnie shouted at you and you retracted your claws as you looked up at her again tilting your head to the side.

“I don’t see you trying,” You pointed out. She huffed at you and raised her hands up in front of her with her palms up and her eyes closed. Once she’d assumed the position you loosed your grip on Jeremy’s neck allowing him to breathe while Bonnie focused on casting the spell. It didn’t last long though because soon Bonnie’s face was twisting up in frustration, and she let out an annoyed huff dropping her hands to the side.

“I can’t do it. I told you I’m too weak, you’re just going to have to wait until I’m stronger,” She stated. A snarl rumbled out of your chest and your lips curled back to reveal your fangs as your grip on Jeremy’s neck tightened once again.

“Try. Again.” Your voice was barely more than a growl, and you were sure that had it been any closer to a full moon you would have turned right there.

“She… said she… can’t!” Jeremy chocked out from underneath you. You turned your snarl to him, lifting his head up you slammed it back down on the ground not enough to knock him out but enough to hurt.

“Shut up!” You shouted at him never taking your eyes off of Bonnie. “Try. Again.” You ordered her. Bonnie snapped her eyes closed and her hands shook as she raised them palm up and you loosened your grip on Jeremy’s neck again watching her closely. Her face was screwed up in concentration and her mouth moved silently muttering Latin under her breath. The more it failed to work the more frustrated she seemed to become and the more frustrated she became the more you squeezed Jeremy’s neck.

“I can’t! I can’t do it,” She shouted as she threw her hands down and opened her eyes again. “I already told you I upset the spirits enough as it is earlier, they won’t let me won’t let me access my magic for a spell this dark.” She whined again her wide eyes darting between you and Jeremy.

“Alright then,” You shrugged your shoulders. “Then I guess Jeremy dies.” Your claws sharpened and you dug them into Jeremy’s neck feeling around for his trachea so you could rip it out in front of her.

“I really hope you’re wearing that ring of yours Jeremy or, hehe oops,” You smirked down at him with a shrug of your shoulders.

“No! (Y/N) you can’t!” Bonnie shouted. Almost immediately after that you felt a pain surrounding your brain almost like your head was caught in a vice grip. Your grip around Jeremy’s neck loosened just a fraction as you winced feeling the pressure of the ancestors squeezing at your brain with their combined strength trying to get you to surrender, to stop what you were doing. But you wouldn’t stop, you didn’t want to stop, you wanted either Klaus back in his original body or you wanted revenge against Elena and you didn’t care who you had to kill to get what you wanted.

“Tell your ancestor dogs to back off Bonnie or else I’ll end their line here and now like it was supposed to end that night I activated my little curse,” You bit out through clenched teeth and when the pain didn’t immediately stop you spoke up again. “I will make it painful ancestors.” You added on. The ancestors held on for a moment longer increasing the pain for a moment before letting you go and disappearing.

When the pain stayed away for a few seconds you turned your attention back to Bonnie: “Do the spell now Bonnie.” You ordered.

Bonnie chewed on her bottom lip for a moment before taking a deep breath and raising up her hands again as she began chanting under her breath. The air around you crackled with power and goosebumps broke out along your skin as you finally let go of Jeremy’s neck and sat back. You looked behind you when you heard Tyler groan and a satisfied smile spread across your face as he fell to his knees reaching up and grabbing at his head. He continued to groan for a few moments while you climbed off of Jeremy and walked over to the stairs all while Bonnie continued chanting. The sensation of power in the air had faded away and yet Bonnie continued to chant from behind you, though you couldn’t find it in you to care too much. You were much to focused on Tyler and making sure that it was just Tyler in that body and not both him and Klaus.

“Bo… Bonnie!” Jeremy’s voice was scratchy and hoarse as she shouted for Bonnie.

“Tyler?” You asked him as he lifted his head out of his hands and looked up at you confused.

“(Y/N)? Jeremy? Bonnie? What the hell is going on? How did I get here? Where’s Caroline?” He asked but you didn’t wait around to see what would happen next. A large smile spread across your face as you raced up the stairs trying to get out of the house and to the Lockwood cellar as fast as you could. You made up only a few steps though when you felt a pair of strong arms wrap around you waist and in the next second the world was nothing but a blur around you.

That as well only lasted a few seconds as in the next few moments you were standing with your back pressed against the tree staring into the eyes of a man you thought you would never see again. Your eyes searched Klaus’ face that emptiness you’d been feeling seemingly disappeared leaving you feeling light and full and oh so happy. Tears stung at your eyes, the frayed and broken pieces of yourself coming back together as you reached up and grabbed a hold of Klaus’ face. Holding his face in your hands made this feel all that much more real and you it had you doing the only thing you could think to do. You pulled his face down to yours crashing your lips onto his, it took him a few seconds before he finally caught on to what was happening and hurried to kiss you back. The kiss was anything but what you’d imagined your first kiss with him would be like. You’d imagined it being sweet and gentle with just a hint of possessiveness but this, this kis was anything but that. This kiss was all consuming, it took over your senses drowning you in his scent and in his touch, filling you with a warmth you’d never experienced before as the two of you poured all of your unsaid emotions into that kiss. As you poured all of your love, your anger, your frustration, your sadness, your hurt, into the kiss. It wasn’t until your lungs were burning the desire to breath becoming too much that you finally broke the kiss. Pushing at Klaus’ chest you held him there as you stared up into his nearly black eyes while he smirked down at you.

“That was quiet the hello kiss, love,” He murmured his thumbs rubbing at your waist through your shirt, though when his hands had gotten to your hips you hadn’t the faintest idea.

“If you… ever… ever do that… again I’ll… fucking kill you… immortal hybrid… or not… got it?” You heaved out in between gasps of air. Klaus chuckled as he reached up and tucked a stray strand of hair behind your ear. Instinctively you tilted your head into his touch.

“Duly noted love, though in my defense the body swap was the Bennett witch’s idea not mine,” He pointed out and you rolled your eyes.

“I don’t care whose idea it was, you pull a stunt like that again without telling me and I’ll kill you. Now kiss me again and then you’re going to take me back to the mansion before Rebekah burns this entire town to the ground.” You ordered him and he smirked down at you his hand coming to cup your cheek.

“Don’t get cocky now love, you’re not the one in charge here.” He teased you and you scuffed at him.

“Says you,” You teased right back and he grinned before pressing his lips against yours. This time the kiss was the sweet, passionate one that you’d been thinking would be your first kiss with him, and though it was short it was just as fantastic as you was just as fantastic as the other one.

“Hold on love.” He scooped you up bridal style, cradling you against his chest and he waited until your arms were wrapped around his neck before he took off running towards the mansion.

ooh hey, me again i keep thinking and forgetting my ideas i want to send you. anyways, same as always you can skip this if you want to absolutely fine. This is the idea that i thought of:

human days klaus so like back when they were all human, sub!klaus loses his virginity to dom!reader. there could be angst at the beginning where the reader doesn’t know he is a virgin but klaus is like panicking and doesn’t know what to do. or if not angst add some of the fluffiest fluff at the end

thank you very much, and as always you can ignore 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Let me show you

Klaus was incredibly nervous. He had no idea how to do what she wanted him to do. His heart was close to exploding and his skin felt like it was on fire. Thankfully they were both still fully clothed or Klaus would surely be mid panic attack.

Sex wasn’t something Klaus knew much about at all, all he knew was that it was to create life-a baby. But y/n seemed to know what the fuss was and that scared him further because she was clearly eager to engage and he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to do it.

So when her hand cupped his most sensitive area through his clothes, he nearly shoved her off. He stumbled back a little, his face bright red as he looked down feeling his blood flowing to wear she had touched. Klaus shared a room with his siblings, he had never touched himself like that, he thought it to be a sin of sorts.

“What- what are you doing?” He whispered, his eyes wide.

“Niklaus, I’m..I’m sorry I thought that you wanted that, I should’ve asked, Nik, I’m sorry. Nik, look at me” her hands cupped his face gently, coaxing him to look her in the eye but his embarrassment was stabbing at him. “It’s okay, we can wait, I just thought you would’ve liked it” she told him softly, her fingers brushing through his long curls.

“Like it?” He breathed, glancing to her briefly.

“Well yeah, course, you know how it feels. Did you not have a good experience the last time?” She asked him, her tone gentle and understanding.

“Last time?” He whispered in confusion and she nodded

“It’s okay, some people don’t do it right, I wouldn’t hurt you” she promises but he only frowned deeper

“y/n…there is no last time” he whispered and she furrowed her brows

“What do you mean?”

“I mean…I haven’t…yet” he wasn’t sure why he felt so humiliated but he did. He wasn’t overly sure what she was referring too but he was quite sure he had no part in any if it.

“Oh” realisation was clear as she stroked his cheek. “Okay, well that makes a little more sense” she nods “come on, sit down, I’ll help you” she pulls him down to her bed.

Y/ns family was higher up in the world than Niklaus’, him being a child of six meant their family spent most of their goods on food and necessities . Compared to y/n who was an only child and had men trying to buy her affections with their families riches. It meant that she could have her own space for her and Niklaus. For times like this.

She crossed her legs, making sure her dress was covering her legs. She took his hands in hers and smiled at him as he mimicked her position.

“Okay, well you know that sex is to make you feel good right?” She questioned softly

“And to have children” he added and she nodded

“Often yes, is that something you want? It’s a possibility that comes with the actions” she tells him

“I’d love to have babies with you” he answered without missing a beat and she smiled brightly.

“I’m glad” she rubbed her thumb along the back of his hand “now, it’s something you have to be careful with and you’d have to tell me if you don’t like something. Different people like different things and that she entirely okay. You’ll learn through time” she tells him with a smile

“And it feels good?” He asked shyly

“Very good” she whispered “have you ever done it to yourself?” She asked but seeing his confused expression she knew his answer and nodded “that’s okay, do you want me to show you?” She asked gently. “You have control, and you can change your mind” she tells him.

“Okay…” he uttered “what…should I do?” He quizzed

“Uncross your legs, just be comfortable, you can lay down if you like” she offers. He moved back to sit up do his back was against the wall, his legs a little open. “Im going to move your tunic okay? And your undergarments, is that okay?” She asked and he nodded nervously.

She slowly rolled his tunic up and pulled down his undergarments. His face was practically crimson when he saw his cock spring up. “Sorry” he whispered as he locked eyes with hers

She shook her head as her hand came forward and stroked up his shaft lightly, his mouth fell open and his fingers curled around the softness that he was sat on.

“It’s perfect Nik. You’re perfect” she whispered. She moved her hand up and down him slowly, gently, to pull a soft moan from his parted lips. Her grip tightened slightly and he whimpered making her smiled, looking up to him “see, it feels good doesn’t it?” She murmured and he nodded enthusiastically. She grinned and took her hand away before licking it and bringing it back to where she knew he needed it. She rubbed her saliva along his length, lubricating him so she could stroke him a little faster.

“Oh” he whispered as her hand tightened and loosened throughout her movements “what-what is that” he whimpered, feeling his lower abdomen twist and turn pleasantly. He saw a little trickle of something white be spread down his cock.

“It just means your body likes it too Nik” she tells him and he nods

“I think my body loves it” he whimpered as his hips raised and bucked without his consent. Her hand moved a little faster, holding him nice and tight. She knew he wouldn’t last long at all, poor boy had never been touched. She watched as his eyes barely stayed open, his muscles tense as his thighs twitched.

“Open your legs a little more” she whispered and he did so without hesitation. His breathing picked up as well as her pace. His hands gripped the bed harshly and he trembled.

“y/n” he whined “y/n I- oh, I think-“ he gasped half way through, a wave of pleasure moving from the base of his spine up making his head throw back

“It’s okay, don’t hold it back” she tells him, her hand keeping a fast but steady pace lower down his cock while she leaned forward and wrapped her lips around his head. Involuntary gasps and moans hit against the walls as his balls throbbed and his muscles spasmed before relaxing.

He released a long, drawn out moan as he felt an unexplainable sensation flood his senses.

His eyes slowly fluttered open, he looked down to see his love with her mouth around his cock. His mouth reopened when he felt her tongue touch his tip. Her throat contracted as she swallowed round him.

“Y/n” he whispered, biting his inner cheek as her tongue rolled over his slit “y/n it stings” he whimpered.

She sucked him gently before slowly pulling him mouth up and off of him. Her expression was dazed and her lips were swollen as she eyed his cock. She gave the tip a few little kisses, listening to his soft whimpers and whining.

She leaned back and put her hand back on his cock, stroking him again, loving his little sounds. “You did so great” she whispered “you tasted so wonderful”

His brows furrowed at her words “what?” He asked

“Oh, Niklaus, when you felt that relaxation you let out some…fluid, it’s a good thing, a very good thing” she nods as she speaks making him copy her actions

“Do you do it too?” He asked quietly and she smiled

“Everyone does Nik” she confirmed and he made a sound of agreement. “How do you feel?” She asked, taking her hand off of him so he could answer with a clearer mind.

“Good” he whispered, smiling at her. He tried to repress a yawn but it fought past him and she smiled.

“You wanna rest for a moment?” She asked, her hands pulled his tunic back down over his thighs and pat the spot next to her as she lead down.

“Was that it?” He asked drowsily “did we do it?”

She smiled at his innocence and kissed his forehead “not quite niklaus, that was more of a warm up or a treat” she murmured

“Really?” He breathed “then I can’t wait to actually have…sex” his voice grew shallower, a blush rising in his cheeks again

“You should be able to soon” she whispered, her hand gently pressed against his clothes feeling him beginning to harden again. “Just close your eyes for a minute” she told him

After having a couple hours of sleep, both of them pressed against one another to savour the others warmth, Niklaus began to wake up. Immediately he noticed the overwhelming sensation in his lower region. He looked to see y/n still asleep but her hand still touching his cock. He let out a harsh breath, he had no idea what to do in this situation. He carefully took her hand off of him but found he wanted it back.

“Y/n” he whimpered needily, his hand shaking her by the shoulder lightly. She stirred awake and grumbled at him. “Y/n please, help” he whispered and she blinked herself awake.

“What’s happened?” She asked sleepily, her mind still barely running “was it Mikael?” She mumbled “I’ll get my dad to-“

“No no, no it’s not that” he murmured, his eyes looking away in slight shame at her immediate conclusion.

She pushed herself up onto her elbows and looked over at his embarrassed face. “Niklaus, hey, what’s going on?” She gently took his hand and raised it to her lips in an act of love.

“It’s nothing” he whispered “I should go home”

She frowned and stood up with him, she began to remember what had happened before their nap and instantly felt bad. “Niklaus…please don’t leave” she begged “You know you’re allowed to stay as long as you’d like”

He couldn’t stop the embarrassed feeling in his stomach. Even when she kissed his lips softly to try and comfort him. “You know that none of that stuff means anything” she whispers referring to Mikael. “He will never be half the man you are” she tells him. He sniffs as he pulls her into hug, his face hiding in her neck.

“I hate him” he whispered, a crack in his voice as his mood dropped entirely.

“I know, I hate him too.” She whispered “but he gave me you” she told him (nobody knows Klaus isn’t Mikaels son, don’t come for me) “for that I am grateful” she uttered and he nodded

“Y/n?” He mumbled and she hummed in question, her hands playing with stands of his hair. “I want to have a baby with you” he tells her shyly. She smiled despite him not being able to see her.

“I would love to have a baby Nik, whenever you’re ready” she tells him

“I am ready” he whispers

“Nik…you only just found out how to do it, I don’t wish to rush you” she explained “you’re upset and it wouldn’t be fair to do that to you now”

So he waited, and so did she. He waited for weeks until he realised it was going to happen. They had spent all morning and afternoon in the fields, feeding the deers and running through the flowers.

When they came to her home and he noticed all the flowers covering her room, he realised she had made it special for him.

He had never felt so much love in his heart before, he looked at her like she had put the stars in the sky.

“You didn’t have to do all this” he whispered

“I wanted to…Niklaus I want this to be your day” she told him, a blush climbing her neck “I…I love you and…and I-“

He took a long stride forward and pressed his lips to hers, the words he had craved from her, from his parents, from anyone to say to him. He kissed her as though she were his only source of life. His affection for her would forever be unmatched.

“I love you too” he whispered against her lips. His hand went up to her jaw “I want to have this with you” he told her and she nodded

“I know” she breaths and he smiles, taking a few steps back do the backs of his shins hit her bed. He slowly begins to remove his clothes, she watched as he let his tunic fall the floor and rid himself of any other clothing. He sat back on her bed, laying down and patting the spot next to him.

She smiled as she slipped out of her dress and undergarments. She quickly made her way over to the bed and got on top of him. Her legs either side of his hips as she leant down and connected their lips once again.

He chuckled a little at the fast action causing her to laugh as well. He pulled her bottom lip with his teeth making her hit his chest playfully

“Don’t ruin it” she giggled and he smiled.

“Nothing could ruin this” he assured her. “What do I need to do?” He asked softly

“Just do what feels natural for you, I’ll take the lead…unless you’d prefer to?” She offered

“No I- I’d rather you did” he blushed as he said it but knew he would trust her enough to tell her anything.

She nodded and kissed his lips a few more times before standing on her knees so her core wasn’t touching him. She brought her hand to her mouth to lick it again but Klaus grabbed it before she did so and leant up to trail his tongue over her palm and fingers. He licked and sucked her fingers just like she had his cock only weeks ago. His eyes trained on hers as he brought her hand down to his awaits cock. His teeth sunk onto his lower lip as she stroked him, again covering him enough so he was nearly dripping before bringing her hand back to his mouth to collect more and bring it to her pussy.

She let out a small breath as she rubbed herself. He watched in interest, his eyes solely focused on the way her fingers patted and rubbed at a little bud. His hand came up to touch it, his forefinger moving along if back and forth at a rapid pace making her hips fly away from his hand

“S..start slower” she gasped and he nodded

“Sorry” he whispered before doing it slower. He moved his finger in a more circular motion, his heart raced when she moaned and her hips move back and forth to follow his touch. “Do…do I put it in my mouth like you did with my um.. my..” he furrowed his brows trying to find a non-embarrassing way express his thoughts

“You- oh- you can if you want to but we can do that a different d-day!” She squeaked the last word as her clit pulsed at the applied pressure his finger tip gave her.

“Can I try it now?” He asked shyly

“Ohkay” she whispered. “I’m gonna lay down okay?” She went to move but couldn’t bring herself too as almost immediately she felt something hot flick at her throbbing jewel.

She looked down seeing he had pushed himself up so his face could be between his open thighs. His tongue moved slowly against her clit, both of them moaned in unison as he swallowed the taste of her arousal. He flicked his tongue over the little button repeatedly, his lips closed around its hood and his mouth suckled gently.

“Nik” she whispered, her hand moving to hold the back of his head, tilting it back more so his tongue would rub her better. “That’s it” she whispered “just like that” she praised “a little faster” she told him and he did so straight away. She ground down against his mouth as he sucked and licked like it were the best experience in the world. “Ch-change direction” she panted and once again he did. She gasped and her fingers curled into his hair. “Oh-“ she cried, her brows furrowed as their eyes locked again. Seeing his eyes so dark and yet filled with love and submission as well as the much needed attention to her clit, which had been desperately craving touch since she had given his his first sexual experience, she couldn’t stop herself from letting go. See his eyes go wide as she pushed his head further down so he could taste her properly. “That’s it- good boy” she breathed feeling his tongue move up her folds, she could see his head moving in short motions before he slowly came to a stop and his arms gave out, laying back down between her thighs.

She pet the side of his face with the back of her hand as she gazed down at him. “You were remarkable” she told him and he blushed.

“I love you” he whispered and she smiled

“I love you too” she promised as she took him in her hand. “Are you ready Niklaus?” She asked gently and he nodded

“Im ready, I want this” he uttered, the corners of his lips upturning. She smiled down at him as she brought him to where they needed and slowly took him inside, lowering herself down.

He inhaled a long breath feeling her take him entirely, her walls clung to him like a second skin, he had no idea how should would be able to ever pull off him.

She groaned as she sat on top of him, her jaw clenched as she felt her self gradually adjust to his size. He frowned a little seeing her wince and brought his fingers back to where he knew she liked them. He rubbed that her now puffy clit gently, earning a soft moan from her lips as her walls pulsated around him.

“Okay” she whispered, mostly to herself, before she pushed down on his chest an brought her hips up. Her eyes shut in concentration as she slowly moved up and down him, listening to his muffled gasps. His hand held over his mouth in an attempt to not embarrass himself with quite how much he wanted to moan her name at the top of his lungs. “Do you feel good still Nik?” She asked him, her hand rubbing his chest and her eyes opening as her hips began to pick up a rhythm.

“God yes” he whimpered, his hands went to her hips, loving how they moved in his hold. “Please keep going” he whispered, his eyes begging her. She smiled down at him and moved a little faster, beginning to get more of a bounce as she sat further upright. She heard him whine and looks down to see his eyes on her chest. A smirk tugged at her lips as she bounces faster, his mouth remained open, a range of loud sounds leaving him.

“You can touch them” she whispered, she took his hands in hers and brought them to her breasts. He squeezed then lightly, glancing to her eyes to check it wasn’t too hard but only saw her practically panting as she bit back moans and arched her back to press her chest against his hands. He rubbed his fingers over her nipples before pinching gently. She let out a breathy moan as he did so, her hips rolled enthusiastically as his tip grazed her spot.

“good boy” she whispered when he tugged then a little. As though on instinct to the words, his hips bucked up, a sharp whine leaving his throat. She smirked again and moved faster, one of her hands moved to play with her clit while he did her chest and his cock throbbed inside her.

“Y/n” he whimpered desperately, that familiar crash of bliss rushing through his body.

“Good boy Nik, just let it happen” she whispered. Her eyes closed again as she was met with her own powerful whirlwind of pleasure.

She bit down on her lip a little too hard as her walls squeezed him beyond relief, she kept moving along him, milking his of his every last drop as his body began to tire.

She gradually came to a stop, her eyes falling to his face, his chest moved up and down with each breath and his face appeared hot with a thin layer of sweat covering him.

She put moved some of his hair away from his face and kissed his softly, which he welcomed all too eagerly. His arms circled her, holding her close as she slid him out of her. His hands rubbed at her back and arms, then up to her neck, holding her jaw before gliding back down to her ass. His lips moved down to her neck, kissing softly.

“Niklaus” she breaths, her hand squeezing his shoulder lovingly “I love you” she told him again.

He pulled away from her skin to look up at her, a lazy smile on his swollen lips “I love you more” he whispered making her smile.

“Ill grab us some clothes okay?” She whispered, kissing his gently before pushing herself up and grabbing something to clean the both

“Y/n?” He uttered and she looked to him in answer “can we do it again?” He asked shyly and her smile broadened

“Oh Nik” she breathed “all you ever have to do is ask”

okay so i have no idea how to fuckin request things, butcha asked for s&b requests so here i am. literally ANYTHING with nikolai. maybe comfort sex? idfk. i just love that man to death and will gladly take anything. afab is preferable. thanks :)

I like you, you’re forward

(afab reader, fighting, sexual themes)

“I’m so sick of this Nikolai!” You shouted, slamming the large white door of the bathroom. You and your husband had been fighting more than usual, and there was a list of reasons why.

“Don’t you dare run from me.” Nikolai demanded, following you to the bathroom at the same pace you were fleeing his presence. He couldn’t quite catch up, his body colliding against the front of the door once you shut him out. “Dammit!” He cursed, taking a stiff hand and raking it through the top of his hair in frustration. “You’re driving me mad..” he mumbled, but you could hear it through the door.

“Mad? I’m driving you mad?” You scoffed, your eyes growing wide as a fire ignited in your chest. “How am I supposed to feel when my husband, my dear sweet husband is always off somewhere taking care of other people?” You asked him as if he’d know the answer to your question.

“What do you mean?” He asked, exasperated and taking the hand that had tried to soothe out his honey blonde locks and bringing it to do the same to his face. He rubbed his skin, stopping at the bridge of his nose as he sighed.

You felt tears well up, how does he not understand? It all seemed so obvious to you, every single time he would return home from being away you’d be curled into a ball inside your shared bed. Dried tears on your face and the white shirt he wore so much clutched to your chest. Maybe he didn’t notice, you tried to comfort yourself by begging your brain to believe that maybe he’s just as upset as you. Maybe he won’t show it. Or maybe he just doesn’t care. That’s when the tears began to fall, your cheeks stinging with the heat of anger.

“When you leave I-“ your sentence was cut off by a sob, which scared the living hell out of Nikolai because now he knew you were crying.

“Let me in.” Nikolai demanded, his voice sounding calm, but on the other end of the door he was erratic with his wide eyes and palms splayed out against the wood of the door.

“No, Nik.”

“Fucking let me in.” He cursed, emotion slipping through into his voice. You knew he was panicked. There was guilt in your stomach for scaring him, but then anger came after that because it wasn’t your fault he had hurt you. You brought your hand to the knob, twisting and unlocking the chain that held it shut tight. Once you opened the door he seemed to almost appear inside the bathroom so fast you got dizzy when he wrapped his arms around you. He enveloped you, his body connecting to yours like some kind of shield.

“Tell me.. When I leave, what?” He asked, questioning the sentence you began but cut yourself off from. You finally gave in, resting your cheek against his chest, listening to his wildly beating heart.

“When you leave.. I hear all these things from the maids in the palace. They say when you leave me so often that-..” You couldn’t possibly say it, the very words would rip your lips into shreds. Nikolai would never kiss you then.

“What. Do. You. Hear.” He spoke through gritted teeth, his hands that were gripping your waist tightened. Nikolai heard a plethora of rumors about himself, some were more believable than others, but he had a sickening feeling about where this was going.

“They say you sleep with others.. They say you have someone in every kingdom..” you admitted, your heart skipping a beat. You were right. You wanted to rip your mouth from your face, you wanted to throw away your voice and promise to never speak again if it meant you’d never have to say something like that once more. Nikolai didn’t react in the way you thought. He didn’t pull away and deny any of the rumors that you both swore weren’t true. He knew no matter what he said it wouldn’t change what others whispered into your ear as they tightened your corset or tailored your hair. You were his queen, of course, and everyone else wanted under that crown.

Nikolai brought his hands to cup your cheeks, wiping a tear from your eye with his thumb so delicately you wondered if he was afraid to break you.

“Promise me you won’t listen to them.” He asked of you, his voice soothing out into a calm whisper. His beautiful eyes were looking down into yours, the eyes that always seemed to be full of ambition and fearlessness. They were full of guilt now, sadness replaced the usual crystalline color.

“Promise me that whatever they say you’ll shut out.” He spoke again, tilting your chin up to look at him even more deeply.

“And that you don’t believe a word that comes from their mouth.”

All you could do was nod, and when he kissed you it almost knocked your feet from under you. It was full of passion, full of regret for everything you had to endure just being his wife. You clutched his jacket, the fabric pooling in your fists as you tugged him closer. Nikolai met your wishes with a step forward, pressing his body against yours.

“Do you need me to remind you who I married?” He cooed, crowding your form back until you were pressed against the wall. The coldness of it sent a chill up your spine, so you gasped, but Nikolai covered your mouth to keep you from making anymore noises.

“Hm?”

You could feel yourself go warm with slick, your cheeks heating so much you wondered if Nikolai could feel it under his palm. You nodded, compliantly, and then he smiled wickedly as he hoisted your leg up around his waist. He pressed his core against you in a way that made you squirm for more, but you know he’d give it to you. He always did.

“Let me show my absolute adoration for my queen..”

Chapter 1: ‘Cause It's All Too Much For Me To Take

Masterlist | ao3 | next chapter

Content: manipulation, nudity, mild sexual content

“Fuck.”

It’s barely a hiss under Nik’s breath as they peek around the corner into the living room. On the floor is a tangle of limbs and laughter, their husband and their best friend. The door is wide open, a few suitcases and a little cage left on the doorstep. Shit. Was that today?

“Sunshine… who’s this?”

Jack’s arms wrap around their waist and they can feel his naked form against theirs. They can feel his cock pressed against their back, his lips brushing against one of the marks he’d left on them the night before. For a moment they want to pretend this isn’t happening. To drag him back to bed and make him fuck the thoughts from their head again.

The moment passes.

They grab his arm, dragging him bodily back to the room. Between their aggressive hopping and the cloudy look on their face, Jack doesn’t try to stop them. He’s not seen his Sunshine like this before. Like a storm has rolled in, blocking out their usual neutral expression. He half expects to hear a rumble of thunder as they shove him into the room and slam the door behind themself.

“Sunshine—”

“Shut up.” Their voice has an edge to it as they hop around the room, grabbing various things. “I need to think.”

Jack falls silent and leans against the closet door, watching Nik frantically try to make themself presentable. There’s a flurry of swears and agitated sounds as they go. They’re quick with their leg from years of practice. Roll on the seal, spray with rubbing alcohol, push their stump in, hop a little to get the air out, test the knee.

Nik squints down at their leg and then back up at Jack. “Did you put it on to charge for me last night?”

Jack gives a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck and shrugging. “Well, you sort of fell asleep as soon as we were done…”

There’s a flicker of a frown. “Thanks.”

“You look tense, Sunshine.” Jack sighs, pushing off the wall.

Nik feels his hands on their shoulders, thumbs digging into the knots in their muscles. It feels nice. But not nice enough to distract them from their current predicament. Jack frowns as they shrug off his hands and sit in front of their vanity.

“Come on, Nik. Tell me what’s going on. Who is that man? Do you want me to get rid of him for you?”

Nik grabs their concealer and begins to cover up the marks left by Jack the night before. “His name is Shaun. And you’re not going to get rid of him.”

There’s no room to argue. Their voice is so certain, so final. This man means something to them. Jack kneels behind their chair, resting his chin on their shoulder and meeting their eye in the mirror. His lips slowly, deliberately kiss over the deep bite mark left on their neck. The one that had them melting for him last night. He can see them start to melt again, biting their lip.

“Well, hey… Zander seemed to be handling it. So how about we head back to bed?”

Nik shudders at the feeling of Jack’s fingers brushing across their abdomen, tracing the lines of their tattoo. “Not now. I’ve got too much to think about.”

“Haven’t you done so much thinking already, Sunshine?” Jack sighs, nuzzling their cheek. “Sometimes you just need to stop and enjoy the moment. Enjoy the company. Let me help you quiet those racing thoughts…”

“No. Jack, I mean it.” Nik smacks his hand away and leans forward to focus on their makeup, trying hard not to catch his eye in the mirror. “We can’t do this right now. We—”

They stop themself before they can say we shouldn’t have done this last night either. But it’s not lost on Jack. He can feel the walls going back up. The ones he’d worked so hard to break down. He can feel them shutting him out again. He lets his hands drop from around them, moving instead to cup their cheek and pull their face to look at him.

“Who is he, Nik?” The worry in his voice creates a gnawing guilt in Nik’s stomach. “Why does it upset you so much that he’s here?”

Nik shakes him off, grabbing his shirt from the bed and tossing it to him. “Get dressed.”

The thickness of their voice worries him. But he does as he’s told, gathering his clothes from around the room as they finish up their makeup job. By the time they’ve passed a brush through their hair a few times, there’s no sign left of how thoroughly Jack had fucked them the night before. He hates it.

Jack holds the bundle to his chest, watching Nik grab some clothes from around the room. “Please, Sunshine. Don’t do this to me. Not again.”

Nik tenses, going completely still as they stare into their closet, one hand raised to grab a shirt. “Don’t.”

It’s low. A warning. One Jack doesn’t heed.

“You can’t keep doing this to me. Pulling me in one moment and pushing me away the next. Haven’t I been good to you? To Zander? I’m your best friend. So why do you keep pushing me away? Why won’t you let me in?”

“You, motherfucker,” Nik whirls around to face him, eyes blazing, “are not my best friend. Zander is. I’m doing this for him. Everything I do is for him. And if I think for even a moment that you’re not what’s best for him…”

The unspoken threat hangs heavy in the air. Jack can feel it crushing his chest. He bows his head and tugs on his clothes, letting Nik return to their own dressing. He pushed too much. Once again, he miscalculated. He pushed them away, gave them another reason to shut him out. He won’t let it happen again.

“You’re right.” The tension in Nik’s shoulders releases somewhat at Jack’s words. “I’m sorry. You have your reasons to keep things from me, and I have to be okay with that. Sometimes… sometimes friends need to keep secrets from each other.”

He’s trying to meet them half way. With a sigh, Nik reciprocates. “Even best friends.”

Jack’s sunny smile is back, grabbing Nik’s hand as he tugs them to sit down on the bed with him. “Even best friends! Now, what can you tell me about the guy in there?”

Nik’s lips twitch into a hesitant smile and they trace absentminded patterns on Jack’s palm. “His name is Shaun. He’s a friend.”

Jack waits to see if they have more to say. When they don’t offer anything more, he risks asking another question. “An old friend?”

Nik gives a noncommittal shrug. “From uni. We met in our first year, ended up moving off campus into a shitty little place together. Me, him, Z, and… Ian.”

“Ian.” Jack’s expression darkens for just a moment before the bright, reassuring smile is back. “Well, what brings Shaun here now?”

Nik’s little smile disappears. Their finger pauses its tracing, pressed gently to Jack’s palm. “He’s a director. He does horror movies.”

They’re avoiding something. Jack hums thoughtfully. “So, is one of his movies filming nearby?”

“Yeah. There’s a studio not to far away. And a house near there that they’re using as a set too.”

“He stopped by on his way to his hotel? How nice!”

Nik’s little hand slides over Jack’s, fingers tapping lightly at his wrists. “No. He’s not staying in a hotel.”

“Well, he’s not staying here, is he?” Jack’s smile is tense, voice too chipper. “That would be silly! If he was staying here, well… He can’t see me, Sunshine!”

“I know.” Nik swallows the lump in their throat.

“If he were staying here… You wouldn’t be able to talk to me. You’d have to ignore me. You wouldn’t do that to me, would you, Sunshine?”

“Fuck. Look. He’ll be out most of the day filming. And he’ll be sleeping on the couch, so we can talk when we’re in here. It won’t be that bad…” They sound more like they’re trying to convince themself than him.

“Sunshine…” Jack’s hand curls around theirs, yellow glove practically swallowing their dainty fingers. “You wouldn’t do that to me, would you…?”

“Jack, it’s not—” Nik cuts themself off with a frustrated sigh, face scrunching as they flap their free hand in annoyance. “Fucking hell. Look, he asked to stay here and we said yes. We can’t take that back.”

“Tell him things changed! Things have changed,” Jack gives their hand a squeeze. “If he’s really your friend, he’ll understand.”

“Jack,” Nik tries to tug their hand away, but he only holds it tighter. “He is our friend. That’s why we’re letting him stay here.”

“So you care about him more than you care about me?”

“Jack!” Nik yanks their hand back, jaw setting. “No. Fuck you. We’re not doing this. He’s staying, end of.”

He did it again. He pushed too far. His only saving grace is that they haven’t gotten up to leave. Yet. “I’m sorry, Sunshine. I just… I worry about you. About both of you. Someone coming to stay out of nowhere? Someone I don’t know? Someone I can’t interact with? You can’t blame me for worrying…”

Nik glowers at the door, but reluctantly nods. “Fucking— Fine. But I need you to trust me on this. He’s good, okay? He… he’s been good to Z and I.”

Jack’s fingers gently curl around Nik’s jaw, pulling them to look at him. “Can you tell me about it? It’ll put my mind at ease. Besides, I should get to know more about him if he’s going to be staying here.”

He can see the gears turning in their head, weighing up their options. “When… everything happened. With Ian. Shaun came back to take care of us. Z was in a bad way. It hurt us both, brought up a lot of bad memories. But for Z, it destroyed him. I couldn’t handle that on my own. We were both coping in different ways, but… well, neither of us were really coping. Shaun coming back—looking after us—is the only reason we made it through everything. We owe him.”

Jack nods slowly. Nik and Zander have always been cagy about Ian. About who he was, about what happened, about the aftermath. He’s picked up bits and pieces here and there, when one or the other has let their mind wander. But they both keep it locked up tight. This is the most he’s ever heard about it directly.

“He means a lot to you both, doesn’t he?”

“Yeah,” Nik gives a wistful smile. “He does.”

“Alright, so… what’s the plan? I stay in here for a few days until he’s gone?”

Nik frowns. “That… That’s what I’ve been trying to think about. Look, Shaun loves all this…” they gesture vaguely to Jack, “ghost shit. We can probably get him on board with it, we just need time. But he’s staying for a while. You’ll need to be patient.”

“Lucky for you, I’m known for my patience!” Jack beams, waving off their concern. “Don’t worry about me, we’ll figure something out, I’m sure.”

Nik smiles, cupping Jack’s face and brushing their thumbs across the markings on his cheeks. “Thank you, Jack. I should go say hi to Shaun…”

They rest their forehead against his, closing their eyes and enjoying the comforting warmth of his presence. After a moment they give him a quick kiss and hop off the bed, heading for the door. Jack frowns as they turn their back on him, body tensing as he thinks about this newcomer. Shaun. He’ll have to go, of course. But it’ll take some careful planning. Much more than usual.

Nik peeks into the living room, softening at the sight of Shaun coaxing Moonpie out of her carrier. He’s moved his bags inside and Zander is nowhere to be found. Probably on a breakfast run. Nik is a little grateful to have Shaun alone. As much as they love their husband, he’s about as subtle as a brick to the face. This sort of conversation—easing Shaun into the idea of Jack—requires tact.

They step out from around the corner, bracing themself for the inevitable bear hug. “Look what Moonpie dragged in.”

Shaun glances up and beams at them, striding over in two long steps and pulling them into his arms. They wheeze at the strength of his hug, dangling nearly a foot off the ground as Shaun squeezes the life out of them. They pat his arms, coughing out another greeting. He sets them down after a moment and ruffles their hair.

“Bastard…” Nik mutters, trying to finger brush their hair back into place. “You could’ve broken my rib, you fucker.”

“Ah, but I didn’t break your rib!” Shaun laughs. “You’re welcome.”

They open their mouth to retort, but a tentative knock on the door stops them. “Zander…” They sigh and shake their head, making their way to the front door. “How many times do I have to remind him to bring his keys?”

“He’ll never remember.” Shaun calls over his shoulder, flopping on the couch and watching Moonpie hesitantly explore the new house. “It’s part of his charm!”

Nik throws the door open.

They pause for just a moment.

“No.”

They slam the door.
