Bonded (Niklaus Mikaelson)

Night affairs

Adelaide's POV

After last night things were a bit awkward. I was trying to avoid speaking to Klaus but it seemed like that was the only thing he wanted to do. It didn't help that Stefan could tell there was something wrong and kept asking me about it, he even bribed me. We got into the car again after getting a lead on where this Ray Sutton guy is and for whatever reason Klaus was in a particularly bad mood. I had asked for us to stop for food and he -in a lot of words- basically said it was a waste of time

"What crawled up your arse this morning" I say

"Oh I don't know it's been bugging me ever since last night" klaus says

Stefan obviously didn't understand and remained clueless assuming that this was just another one of Klaus' temper tantrums but i on the other hand was panicking in my seat thinking he was going to explode and say the whole thing. I don't understand whether he's angry I won't speak to him or if it's because I ran away, or maybe not even me related at all. All I know is he's pissed and for the first time, I'm not immune to his anger.The car stops and Stefan gets out to do Lord knows what.

"Are you angry with me or just angry in general?" I ask

"What do you think" Klaus replied

"I think I don't understand why your annoyed"

"Well let's see you ran away yesterday after I kissed you and you've been ignoring me all morning"

So it was both. Lovely

"Ok I didn't run I walked and I haven't been ignoring you I answered when you spoke to me"

"Yes short answers and then you walk away like you have somewhere urgent to be when we're going to the same place"Klaus raises his voice

"Don't raise your voice. I don't know how far out Stefan is"

"Oh right and you hide all of this from Stefan as well. I wonder how he would feel if he found out"

"You kissed me, yesterday"

"You kissed back"

"So then what are we arguing about. The kiss happened it was reciprocated let's leave it there."

"Yes, great, go back to ignoring me maybe you can run circles around the house since you like fleeing so much"

"For God sake. Fine! I'm sorry! You happy!"

"No!" He shouts

"No of course your not you're never happy!" I shout back

"I was happy yesterday!"

I spot Stefan returning to the car and I turn back to Klaus

"Let's just talk about it another time, ok?" I say ending the conversation

*******************

We haven't spoken since the argument in the car. He refuses to even acknowledge me let alone look at me. I honestly don't understand why he's so upset but I guess I'll find out when we talk, or rather if we talk with the way things are going.

It got to around night time and Klaus still hasn't looked at me. I waited until Stefan went to sleep to knock on Klaus' door. This whole situation confuses me. I know I'm a bit oblivious when it comes to emotions other than anger but I can't be that clueless can I? He opened the door looking at me with an expression I can't read

"Can I come in?" I ask

He moves slightly allowing me to enter the room. I just stand near his bed not wanting to upset him further by making myself comfortable

"I'm just gonna be honest I don't know why you're upset. If I've done something wrong I can accept that" I'm always doing something wrong, I'm always upsetting someone because I struggle to understand their emotions. I can work out their thinking pattern, their body language but for the life of me I can't figure out their emotions or why they feel the way they feel, it annoys me to no end.

"Well first of all I'm annoyed because you ran away. You act like you like me one minute and then you act like you regret everything you did with me, kissing me. Then you act like you don't ever want to be near me when Stefan's around, like your disgusted by me. I don't understand what you want" I don't even know how to respond. What do I want from him? Do I even want anything?

"I don't know if I want anything from you. I don't think I do. But I apologise for giving you mixed signals. I do know I enjoy hanging out with you and I definitely don't feel disgusted by you. The kiss was an accident but I don't regret it" I say

I don't know what's going on with me but I know I like his company and I know I get a tingly feeling in my stomach when he smiles at me or kisses me. I don't want to upset him but I can't tell him what I feel if I've never felt it before, it's like asking me to speak a language I don't understand. We both just stare at each other none of us willing to break the silence. I don't know if he's still upset with me but I don't think he's happy. Am I supposed to leave or will he still want to speak to me. Klaus softly caresses my check before bringing our lips into a soft sweet kiss. This. This is what makes my stomach turn but in a good way.

Whenever it happens I don't want it stop but I feel like I'm doing something wrong if I don't. I kiss him a bit harder and he matches me, he wraps his arms around my waist and my arms go to his neck. I took to playing with the hair at the nape of his neck when he broke the kiss and started kissing down my neck changing the position of his hands from my waist to my chin. I've never done this before but I don't want to stop him, I like the feeling of his lips on my skin. He reaches a spot on my neck that makes me moan softly, he sucks on the tender skin leaving a mark as he continues moving down. Once he gets to the base of my neck he stops and looks back up at me. He stares into my eyes for a few seconds before kissing me again.

I can't explain the feeling i have when I'm with him, it's euphoric I would never want it to stop but I know it has to. Klaus pulls away and rests his head on mine his hands going back to my waist

"Do you regret that?" He asks I shake my head no and he smiles

We ended up playing uno and watching a few of my favourite movies, that night I fell asleep with his arms wrapped around me and my head resting on his chest
