PlayBoy☆Klaus Mikaelson

thirty nine

"20's dresses make me look like I'm shaped like a fridge." I mutter, examining the bright pink boa. Matt looks down at me in amusement before climbing down from the latter he had been on.

"I'm sure you'll survive. Here she comes." He says, grabbing the pink boa from my hand as Caroline approaches us. She makes sure to stay in Rebekah's ear range.

Since Caroline's father died before he finished helping Tyler attempt to become unsired- Caroline had to try and finish the job. Tyler began getting really hostile towards Klaus ever since the whole Jeremy thing. I guess now he was set on becoming unsired- if that's even possible?

And now Caroline needed an excuse to get away for the day- without any suspicions.

Which conveniently lined up with the time she was supposed to be helping set up for the decade dance that she forced us to sign up for.

"What is this?" Caroline asks, loudly as she looks around the room.

"It's the decade dance. Remember, you made us sign up to help?" Matt says as she only furrows her eyebrows in faux confusion.

"No. This. The 20s. We're doing the 70s."

"Too flashy, people. It's supposed to be speakeasy, not the World Fair." Rebekah approaches the group, sending Caroline a devious smile.

"Ah, good, you're here. I need help setting up the tables so, get to it." She says, making Caroline scoff.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Somebody has to be in charge."

"Yeah, me. I'm the chair of the Dance Committee. The theme of the decade dance is the 1970s."

Blah blah blah, more back and forth. Caroline was one good actress though, I'll give her that. She eventually stomps off after Me and Matt agree that the 20's was a better theme.

Once she leaves, to head off to god knows where to help Tyler's indentured servant ass- Rebekah turns to me.

"Scarlett, come." Rebekah says to me, before turning on her heel and walking off. I exchange glances with Matt who only quirks a brow. I shrug but follow the tall blonde anyways.

"Have you gotten a dress for the dance?" She asks casually as I catch up to her.

"Actually, I'm staying home. Something always seems to happen at dances." Her eyes snap to me in shock.

"Don't tell me that you are skipping just because of that little spat you had with my brother?" I furrow my eyebrows at her.

"How'd you know about that?"

"Did you forget about the whole heightened abilities, love?"

"Unfortunately." I grimace slightly.

"I knew something was going on between the two of you. Very interesting." I scrunch my nose at her.

"There isn't." I deadpan as she only waves me off, with a smirk.

"Right- very believable. You're coming to the dance. We can have a girls night- oh how I love girls nights." She grins, wrapping her arm around me.

Vampires are so controlling.

"So how's the whole talking to Damon's dead fuck buddy thing working out?" I ask making Elena scoff from the phone. Matt's eyes leave the road to look at me with confusion- to which I only wave him off.

"Currently looking for the person who sired Rose, who happens to go by Scary Mary. Should be back in Mystic Falls by tonight." She says making me hum. Whilst I was doing my decade dance duties- Damon and Elena got Jeremy to contact some dead girlfriend of Damon's to figure out who sired their bloodline.

They couldn't kill Klaus- or any original for that matter- until they figure out who started their bloodline because we all learned after Finn's death that when an original dies so does its entire bloodline. Super complicated if you ask me. Now the trio that included my older sister and brother were off searching for bloody Mary or whatever her name was.

Something in me felt like it was gonna take them quite a long time. But hey- I'm not aloud to have a say apparently.

We all know what happened the last time I disagreed with the majority.

"Cool, I just got to the boarding house. Let me know if anything goes down." I speak quickly before hanging up the phone.

"Thanks for the ride Matty B." I say with an amused smile as he only rolls his eyes and nods. I step out of his car and close the door behind me.

Now I had to go check up on Alaric and Stefan. Alaric's evil alter ego hid the last stake. And Klaus was a rather impatient guy.

Once I see Matt speed off I take in my surroundings, the sun was just about to set. Most of my day was spent around Diy decorations, feather boas, Rebekah and Matt. An unusual mixture thats for sure.

I enter the home and make my way to the cellar where I knew I'd find the two men. When I do I throw my book bag down with a sigh.

"I hope he's only sleeping." I mutter before taking a seat beside Stefan who had been reading a book.

"Your little boyfriend had a temper tantrum, snapped his neck." He says closing his book and turning to me.

"I'll ignore that very vile comment and assume you're a little stressed." I mutter throwing him a quick glance. I guessed he was hurt because he was left behind for Alaric duty while Damon accompanied Elena and Jeremy.

I guess that would sting a bit.

"Stressed is one word for it." He replies, taking a deep breath before facing me.

"Scarlett, that night just keeps replaying over and over again in my head." I feel my face soften slightly as I look to Stefan.

"You mean when you kis-"

"Yes."

"Oh- I wouldn't stress over it. You just had a little drunk fluke. I know it didn't mean anything." I shrug making his face drop slightly. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion but he speaks before I can question him.

It was true, I saw the way he looked at Elena. I would never amount to her in a romantic way- and I didn't want to. I liked being close with Stefan strictly platonically.

"Right. Drunk fluke. I guess I should still be worried about Klaus. He doesn't seem too pleased with either of us for whatever reason. He's been a lot more violent- if thats even possible."

"He's never pleased with anybody. He'll get over it." I joke making him only release a small chuckle.

"He can't seem to take a hint. I figured after a certain amount of rejection he would just get to embarrassed to continue."

"Haha right. So much rejection." I trail off making Stefan look to me in slight confusion.

"Did I scare you... you know, that night?" He asks, suddenly shifting the mood to a more serious one (Thankfully). I meet his eyes, that were rather filled with concern and worry.

"I guess. Seriously don't worry about it though."

"But I really could've hurt you. I don't want you to think of me like that-"

"Listen if you're asking if I've forgiven you, I have. I know you and I know our current circumstances. We're all acting out of character... trust me." I grimace slightly, thinking about Klaus. I was hoping my feelings were some fluke in nature. Maybe soon I would snap out of it.

Stefan hums in response, taking my words into thought.

"Sounds like you're speaking from personal experience." he says, a brow quirked. I only wave him off.

"Too bad you'll never know." I say with a slight laugh before leaning my head onto the mans shoulder and looking to the unconscious (or dead?) Alaric.

"You're gonna pass out aren't you?"

"Just gonna rest my eyes."
