"So...you and Klaus are seeming closer than ever."

Buffy rolled her eyes at the insinuation, Caroline was not subtle "We live together and have a baby." She deadpanned as she grabbed a bowl of pesto pasta placing it on her tray before reaching for the garlic dough.

So what if they had screwed last night?

It wasn't a big deal.

It had just been something in the heat of the moment, both of them getting off on the power as they slaughtered their way through their enemies.

"I just-"

"Caroline." Buffy snapped, her facade slipping for a fraction of a second as she narrowed her gaze at her nosy god-sister "Leave it alone."

It was no one's business what she did with Klaus.

"If this is you trying to get me to use Klaus to free Tyler, not happening." The fact of the matter that no one seemed to have noticed was that despite his declaration, Klaus wasn't exactly hunting Tyler down to the corners of the earth. Tyler Lockwood was the furthest thing from Klaus's mind, just an annoying pest that he forgot existed once he was no longer in sight.

As long as Tyler kept his distance, he would live.

Klaus only hunted people he cared about hurting, threatening Tyler, and actually hunting him down were two drastically different things.

"No." Caroline assured her, she wouldn't put Buffy in the middle, it wasn't fair to her. Enough people had tried to use their relationships with Buffy to act like they could do whatever they wanted.

Elena had literally thought she would be safe after murdering Kol because she had expected Buffy to defend her.

Forcing her into the middle.

"I'm just concerned. You broke up with him for a reason and the new baby, the grief, emotions all over the place."

"I am not in love with Klaus." Buffy reminded her as they slowly moved to grab a table.

She had never allowed herself to be in love with Klaus, she had ended their relationship out of the fear of falling for him because the guilt was consuming her whole.

"It's okay if you are at least a little." Caroline whispered watching Buffy closely, trying to decipher the look in her eyes.

Yet, there was nothing.

Despite the fact Buffy seemed to be normal, her eyes were hollow, filled with nothing but mischief "He does love you and you do have a child together. Things-"

Caroline's constant pushing had Buffy's nails digging into the table "We work well together. That's it."

Yep, she really needed to torture something otherwise she was going to scream.
