The Fallen Slayer {1}

Walk The Line

THREE MONTHS.

Three months since the memorial.

13 weeks since Buffy had last spoken to Damon and Stefan.


91 days since Buffy had started sleeping with Klaus.


Despite the fact her summer was over and she was literally supposed to be starting her senior year of college in a few days, Buffy hadn't even thought about it. The past three months had gone by in a blur for her.

To be honest, other than the fact that Connor had been strangely quiet all summer, Buffy had never been more relaxed.

Wearing one of Klaus's green henley shirts, which landed halfway down her thighs Buffy walked back into the bedroom where the Hybrid was sat up in bed, the white sheet hanging low around his waist as he kept his eyes glued to the book in his hands.

Jumping back onto the bed, Buffy tucked her knees under her before grumbling in annoyance as she spotted her phone ringing again.

Caroline had been texting her all week about their back-to-school shopping spree.

Something they had already done twice over the summer!

If anyone ever accused her of having a shopping addiction again, Buffy was personally sending them to inspect Caroline's wardrobe at the dorms in Whitmore.

Talk about a shopaholic.

Biting into her breakfast taco, Buffy snorted as she spotted the annoyed expression start to form on Klaus's face.

"I did bring you cutlery, love." He reminded her playfully before silently handing her a plate without taking his gaze off his book.

Buffy laughed.

He was so anal about crumbs in the bed.

Taking another bite of her food, which given what they had been up to last night, she desperately needed to refuel, Buffy lightly kicked his thigh with her bare foot.

Over three months of sleeping together had made her way too comfortable just having ideal chit-chat with Klaus.

If anyone ever found out, they would think she had lost her damn mind!

"The crumbs bothering you?"

Despite how much he tried to fight it, Klaus couldn't help but smile at her teasing. Finally placing his book back on the nightstand, he glanced over at her, his hand moving to stroke her thigh as her leg naturally looped around his waist "You are a slob, so yes."

He had literally found biscuits in his nightstand last week as well as half a sandwich!

This was the whole reason he hated it when she ate in his car in Bakersfield. Buffy never stopped eating and she left it everywhere!

She may be adorable, but she was a slob nonetheless.

"We discussed you eating in my bed unless-"

Buffy rolled her eyes at the innuendo in his voice "I was letting you eat something off me, you're a perve."

"Hmm." Klaus couldn't stop smiling as he watched her.

He was almost certain he hadn't smiled this much in centuries.


Buffy slapped his bare chest lightly before taking another bite of her food, or as Klaus would call it an utter abomination "And you are a food snob."

She had learned very quickly that Klaus was stuck up when it came to food. He ate nothing but the best and had no imagination!


Klaus rolled his eyes before tapping her bare thigh and snatching the plate from her hands causing her to squeal and try and grab it back.

He didn't let her.

How she put this into her system, he would never understand.

"That is not food." He argued as he stared at the taco filled with fried eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, and hot sauce in contempt "It is a heart attack waiting to happen."


Buffy scoffed in offense before swinging her leg around his waist so that she was perched on his lap. Given the movement momentarily caught him off guard, Buffy managed to snatch her plate back, taking another bite of greasy goodness before holding it out toward him.

"You want some?"

Klaus laughed as his arms wrapped around her waist "No." He could think about nothing but the current position they were in.

However, when he tried to force her to put the food down he groaned as he spotted that annoyingly adorable pout taking form on her lips.


Buffy pouted.

She had offered him food! Did he not click how rare that was for her?!

He needed to be grateful.

Though, once he saw his kitchen, he would probably kill her.


Klaus sighed before kissing her softly "Buffy-" He tried only for her to roll her eyes and move to climb off his lap.

"Okay, food snob!" She exclaimed playfully only to let out a loud squeal as he yanked her back toward him, sending her right back into his lap.

As she continued giggling, Klaus reluctantly gave in to her wishes and leaned forward biting into the taco.

Immediately, he groaned at the overwhelming pudgridge stench of oil and grease.

What was the American obsession was oil?

"Your taste buds are vile." He told her bluntly before placing the plate on the side table and flipping her onto her back so that she was trapped underneath him.

Buffy couldn't help but laugh as he pinned her down "What are you doing?"

The second he started placing soft kisses along her collarbone, Buffy hummed, her food monetarily forgotten.

Instantly, her legs moved around his bare hips pulling him closer.

Klaus grinned as she fell completely under his mercy "I am keeping you distracted until the staff are done."


Buffy froze up, her grip on him loosening slightly as she lifted her head off the silk pillow so she could look him right in the eye.

What the hell was he talking about?

She had literally been here all week, all night and day while all her friends thought she was in Williamsburg with Sanda, and not once had she seen a member of his staff.

"Staff?" She queried curiously, he was up to something, she could feel it "What did you do?"

Given that this was probably one of the final moments of peace they would have together before she had to go back to college and by extension her real life, they had avoided the outside world.

Why would he need his staff all of a sudden?

Klaus just grinned down at her "Perhaps I compelled a chef to come in and fix your palette."

He had spent the past three months putting up with Buffy's eating strange eating habits and he could not stomach it any longer.

If he saw one more takeout box in his garbage bin he was going to lose his mind.

"You got me food?" Klaus certainly knew the way to get a Slayer on your side, that was for sure "You just got ten times hotter."

Klaus laughed before kissing her.
