Katerina, internally: There he is, he’s here, my favorite person in the world, the love of my life! God i just want to stare at him and hold him and kiss him for the rest of my life—
Everything that followed was because of Niklaus’ obsession with the wolves! He ventured out to watch them turn under the full moon, and he took my youngest son, Henrik. He was but a child, and he was torn apart.
Request by @okatu-trash: Where Klaus calls the reader is clingy and annoying.
Sorry it’s taken so long! I also hope that it is everything you wanted… sorry if there are any mistakes .
Things had been tense for a while since Klaus and Y/N had gotten back together. Y/N was over compensating by always being there for him, but what they didn’t know was that the more that they were around the more tense he became and he couldn’t figure out why. They both were trying to act as if everything was okay and that nothing had happened between them. But everyone else knows the truth… it’s just no one wants to admit it.
Y/N had been letting a lot of things simmer under their skin with everything that had happened between Hayley and Klaus. They would never admit it but it hurt. They wish they could’ve put it behind them and pretend that it never happened but it was flaunted in front of their face making it very difficult for them to pretend that it never happened. They were thrown into situation after situation surrounding it, it was like they could never escape it. The worst of it all was the fact they couldn’t help flinching when Klaus went to touch them for a while, it wasn’t a voluntary reaction it just happened. They couldn’t help wondering if this was how he held Hayley, was he tender with her like he is with them? Thoughts like this plagued them leaving a bitter taste in their mouth.
Rebekah was the closet with Y/N and she knew that there was something bothering them and was hoping that if they told her that maybe she could go to Klaus and make him see reason. Rebekah couldn’t begin to understand how Y/N must be feeling about everything that was going on, but she also hoped that her best friend would confide in her. But for Y/N it was hard because they knew that no matter what Rebekah’s loyalty was to Klaus and her siblings no matter how much she may love Y/N. Rebekah loves Y/N because they were her first true friend even with everything that she and her family had done, they stood by the Mikaelson’s side without fail. Even right now when they could all tell that Y/N was hurting. Well everyone but Klaus.
“YOU’RE SO FUCKING ANNOYING. YOU’VE BECOME SO CLINGY SINCE WE’VE GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER. YOU’RE MAKING ME FUCKING REGRET GETTING BACK TOGETHER WITH YOU. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WEAK HUMAN INCONVENIENCE… YOU ARE NOTHING!” Klaus bellowed. Klaus was so frustrated with Marcel not cooperating with him and with having Y/N hoovering in the background wasn’t helping him. He knew that deep down they meant well but it wasn’t help him right now.
“Nik…” Y/N tried but before they could say more he had spun around using his speed and with his full strength he threw his glass of bourbon against the wall. The glass missed them but the strength that he threw it caused the glass to shatter spraying the pieces and liquid everywhere some of them hitting Y/N causing them to hiss in pain. A flicker of regret and pain passed Klaus’ eyes, but Y/N just walked away before Klaus could break out of his shocked state. Only when he heard the closing of their bedroom door did he realise. On the floor of their shared bedroom was drops of blood. Klaus shook his head because he knew that they would come back to him like always.
Y/N turned on the tap of the bathroom down the hall and got a cloth to clean up their wound. They knew what Klaus was like saying things in the heat of the moment, but this was the first time that he had ever thrown anything at them. Something in them broke at his actions and they didn’t know what to do. Because they do love him, but they don’t know if they can keep living like this. Maybe it was time to start putting space between them. How much more can they endure? But, the worse question that was rattling around their mind was does he still love me?
A Couple of Days Later:
Elijah was the first to notice. He was always the first to notice something different especially when it came to his family. It was the small things like Y/N not coming in to bring them a drink or just relaxing in the corner reading or watching the TV. But it was confirmed on the day when Elijah saw Y/N not on the sofa next to Klaus as he was sketching he raised a brow, no matter what Y/N always loved watching Klaus drawing and would enjoy sitting there watching him relax with a small smile they thought that no one would see. Looking around the room he noted they weren’t there. He couldn’t help a small wave of worry to settle in his mind about what was happening and if they were okay.
Elijah had a fondness for the human that brought his brother humanity back. But, he knew that they were struggling with everything that had happened with Hayley, Hope and Klaus. He was honestly surprised that they had stuck around for so long after everything that had happened, but he could see her breaking and he couldn’t help his annoyance he felt towards his brother for being so blind to what was going on. But, this wasn’t his place to say anything.
Rebekah the second to notice. She had noticed that Y/N had stopped doing the small things. Like her walking down and seeing Y/N sitting there with a coffee in front of them and an apple in hand noting that they hadn’t made their usual breakfast. This was the breakfast Y/N had when they weren’t hungry but they knew that they had to eat something. Another thing was Y/N was barely around the house and she was not able to find them until the evening when she would see them walking into their own private space or going into Klaus’ and their room.
Rebekah didn’t know what to do. She wanted to confront both Y/N and Klaus about it, but she feared that she would make the situation worse. She knows that something must have happened between both Klaus and Y/N because not long ago they were practically attached to the hip and now it would be a miracle to see them in the same room as one another.
Marcel and Hayley noticed at the same time. Hayley noticed when Y/N would say that she couldn’t take Hope. Hayley was understanding about the situation that Y/N was in and couldn’t imagine how hard it was to do everything that they had been doing and couldn’t hold it against them. She couldn’t say that she would be able to do the same. Y/N is one of the kindest people that Hayley has ever known and supported and helped her regardless of what happened with Klaus and the fact that she was pregnant with his love child.
Marcel noticed when he kept seeing Y/N walking around the quarter on their own, he knew that Klaus always sent someone with them. He would walk around with them and Y/N would say that it was nothing for him to worry about. That she was just exploring and enjoying the city, and she didn’t want to cause any problems for anyone. Even though Y/N was with Klaus, Marcel had no desire to use them. He thought about it once, but when he saw her talking to Davina and then talking to Klaus and him demanding her to tell him and she put her foot down and said no. He had a new level of respect for her.
A Month Later:
“If it isn’t my best friend!” Y/N could hear Damons grin through the phone. They thought about talking to him, it had been a while since the two of them had spoken.
“Day.” Y/N couldn’t bring themselves to smile at the sound of his cheery voice, the last month had been draining them. They knew that everyone but Klaus could see what was happening, they weren’t doing this to be spiteful to him. They hoped that creating space between them would help improve their relationship and they couldn’t say that it was working. It left them wondering what else they could do… wondering if there was anything else they can do or was it too late.
“What’s wrong?” Damon could tell there was something going on, Y/N normally always up beat in their phone calls no matter what was going on between the Mikaelson’s and the Scooby Gang. Damon had saved them and they respected him for that and they were best of friends, they were the first person to truly accept him for everything he has done and does. It is one of the reasons he thinks that Klaus loves them so much.
“Nothing, I guess I’m just homesick.” Y/N chuckled bitterly, that wasn’t a sound that he was used to hearing coming from Y/N. He couldn’t stop worrying that something seriously wrong was going on.
“What life with the big bad hybrid and his baby mama is not all it’s cracked up to be.” Damon snarked, he was hoping that his snarky attitude would lighten the mood but he could tell that it was having the opposite effect.
“Damon.” The warning was clear in their voice, that this wasn’t something to joke about. At Least not this time.
“Y/N come home.” Damon said softly, he knew how they were feeling about everything and hated that they were hurting like this. This is always how the conversation ends.
“I’ll think about it.” Y/N said softly, surprising Damon. Damon had been asking them to come home since he found out about the pregnancy, he knew that Y/N would put on a brave face and push aside how they were really feeling to ensure that those around them were happy. He hated that they would always do that.
“Where is Y/N?” Hayley asked from where she was sitting with Hope and Klaus on the floor. Hayley was grateful for how kind and helpful Y/N had been throughout her pregnancy with Hope and even after. Y/N was always there to take Hope if Hayley needed to do something, they wouldn’t fuss about it. Hayley had seen Klaus push Y/N to be more involved and they do it with a smile on their face, but Hayley can see the flicker of pain in her eyes.
“I’m sure she is here somewhere.” Klaus said dismissively as his focus was on his daughter but he paused and began to think when was the last time he had spent any time alone with them. The only time that he’s seen her really is when he goes to bed but then they are already asleep and when he wakes up they’re gone. He had tried to call her a couple of times to ask her to take Hope but she was always out or busy. He pushed his worry aside and decided to focus back on his daughter, he would deal with it later.
It was long till Y/N walked through the door and started to head to their own personal room that was a mix between a studio space and library. They didn’t notice that everyone was sitting in the living room. They had earphones in listening to music, completely lost in her own world as the others watched them walking past without acknowledging anyone. Klaus’ eyes bore into them and for the first time in a long time they felt that thrill of knowing he was watching them, but they couldn’t help but dismiss the feeling as wishful thinking. They paused and everyone watched to see what would happen, Y/N stood there tilted her head to the side thinking they could feel Klaus’ gaze on them and shook their head and let out a bitter chuckle at themself. Klaus wouldn’t be watching them, he hadn’t done that since before they took their break… he had more important things to focus on.
“Good one Y/N, like Nik would be doing that, after all you are nothing but a human inconvenience.” They snorted under their breath to themself, not realising that they had all heard what they had said. Klaus was shocked at their words and his family looked at him confused about what was happening between the couple, they all knew there was something going on but they never thought it was that bad.
The Next Day:
Klaus was going to fix this. He had to fix this! He hadn’t realised how bad their relationship had become till yesterday, he had spent the whole night up watching Y/N sleep and thinking about everything that had happened since they broke up. He knew that he had neglected her somewhat after finding out about Hayley being pregnant and with Hope being born. But, he was just trying to protect all of them… everything he did was to protect the ones he loved. How could Y/N not see that. He watched as they got up and slipped out of bed at 6am not even noticing that he was awake. He watched and his heart ached as he saw the emptiness in the love of his life’s eyes. He had to fix it there was no other choice.
A while later Klaus heard Y/N walking up to the house and knew that he had to talk to them about everything, it was time for them to talk and work through it all. He had asked everyone to leave for a little bit so he can do something for Y/N. He was about to make his was into the hall when he heard her speaking on the phone and decided to listen in.
“Seriously Damon I’m fine stop calling me.” Y/N sighed heavily as they walked in. Klaus stiffened at the sound of the Salvatore’s name, he couldn’t help the wave of jealousy that ran through him. He knew they were close and he also knew that Y/N would never betray him like that.
“Y/N he threw a glass at you.” Damon argued, he was furious about it. When Y/N finally told him everything he had almost lost it and came to New Orleans to either kill Klaus, kidnap Y/N or both… let’s face it, it would’ve most probably been both. Klaus couldn’t help but looking down in shame, he couldn’t help but feeling guilty about it and he knew he would have to work hard for their forgiveness.
“It was at a wall Damon. Stop being so dramatic about it all.” Y/N said, they could hear the annoyance in her voice. Klaus felt another wave of guilt and shame, because even after everything there they were defending him again.
“It’s not like he cares about you and how you’re feeling. Come on Y/N, you know it but you’re just hoping this blows over. You can’t keep burying how you feel.” Damon sighed. Klaus was furious at Damon’s words he knows nothing about how he feels about Y/N. He loves them more than anything, they are his forever… they are the love of his life.
“Damon, you don’t get it. I love him. Yes he hurt me, yes I feel like I’m dying on the inside. But, it doesn’t matter because I love him.” Y/N snapped, their frustration was getting to them and they couldn’t control their temper. Klaus, closed his eyes at their words. He was causing them pain and he hadn’t noticed… how long had this been going on?
“But, the question you need to ask yourself Y/N is does he love you?” Damon said and Y/N froze mid step at Damon’s words. It was something that they hadn’t wanted to think about, always pushing the thought away never wanting to think too hard about the answer. Klaus stood there hoping that Y/N would say of course he loved them. But what he heard hurt his heart and made him angry.
“I don’t know.” Y/N said so softly and so brokenly, it left a whole in his chest. Hadn’t he done everything for them, he got his Kingdom back, he’d given them everything and they didn’t know if he loved them.
That Evening:
Y/N had thought about what Damon had said to them and decided that maybe it would be for them to go away for a little bit… to figure everything out. Then when the time was right they would come back.
“What is it Klaus?” Y/N spoke softly, he didn’t need to look into their eyes to see the exhaustion, their voice said it all, their voice said it all… defeat and exhaustion.
“I love you.” Klaus said softly, hoping that this would remind them that he did care. Y/N felt their heart squeeze as they clenched their eyes tightly shut to stop the tears. He had said the three words that they had been wanting to hear for what felt like a life time.
“I love you. But, this isn’t working. I know that you are my only love, but right now we aren’t what we each need. I have to believe that if we are meant to be together we will meet again.” Y/N sniffed, their heart was breaking. Their eyes were filling with tears as they finally looked into Klaus ocean blue eyes that filled with tears and pain of his own.
“You can’t leave me.” Klaus looked broken and Y/N had to look away from him, because it was destroying their heart doing this.
“I never mourned the fact that you slept with someone else. We went into the break with two different beliefs and when we got back together you have to understand that it hurt me. Instead of talking you went and fucked someone and got her pregnant and you expected me to be there… to help raise a child that was not mine. We never talked about it and I became insecure with my position in your life. So, I became clingy… but tell me if the roles were reversed would you have stood by my side?” Klaus could see how broken they were and he knew that if the roles were reversed he wouldn’t have done what they did… well he would have because he does love them, but he wouldn’t have been as graceful about it. He knew that he was asking a lot from them but he loves them.
“Love…” Klaus broke off, his voice thick with pain and emotion. He always knew something like this would happen, but he had hoped it would never come to be… Y/N was always too good for him, too good for anyone.
“You know I would do anything for you. I feel in ways you’ve used it and taken advantage of it. I need space to allow myself to heal… I need time.” Y/N gave Klaus a sad smile, Klaus saw a small flicker of hope in their eyes. “Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again. Just maybe it will work out.”
Klaus watched as Y/N picked up their bags and left, his heart breaking as he watched them walk away and not looking back. But, he had to do one thing… he had to ensure that they were safe. So, an agreement was made.
5 Years Later:
A lot had happened in 5 years for Y/N. They had almost died… well technically they did die. One thing Klaus was adamant about Y/N having was his blood. He had compelled a vampire to take a couple of blood bags to Y/N to never tell him or anyone else where they were. It was 4 months after Y/N left that they were killed by a vengeful vampire after the Mikaelson’s, they knew the risk. They died with Klaus’ blood in their system and when they came to and realised they were in transition they were hurt and angry, they knew at some point that they would turn but they wanted it to be their choice. They wanted it to be with Klaus… with someone they trusted.
When the vampire stopped coming for blood Klaus heart ached because he knew that there were two possible things that had happened to them. He was just hoping that they would get their second chance of happily ever after. It was strange in the Mikaelson Manor without Y/N. Hope missed them almost as much as Klaus. When Hope saw a portrait of them she pointed to them and babbled making grabby hands. Y/N had been the one person who was constantly in Hope’s like and now they were gone.
They spent the five years traveling, working, exploring and most importantly healing. Y/N had to admit that they missed Hope more than they thought they would. They had been such a big part of Hope’s life, they couldn’t help but wonder if they would tell Hope about them.
They decided they wanted to take a walk down memory lane, they knew there was a chance that the Mikaelson’s had left New Orleans. But the truth was they were going back to New Orleans to remember some of the good memories.
They went to the bar and smirked when they saw Marcel talking to some of his friends. They couldn’t help the small feeling of her heart mending, in the five years they were gone it wasn’t just Klaus that they were missing it was all their friends and family they left when they left New Orleans.
“Well, well, well. What is it gonna take to get a hug around here?” Y/N smirked as Marcel turned around in shock to see Y/N stood there and vamped speed in front of them and pulled them into a hug and he knew.
“You turned.” He was shocked, but also sad for them because he knew it wasn’t what they wanted.
“Trust me, it wasn’t planned. It wasn’t even pl.” Y/N sighed, but they couldn’t help smiling at Marcel. They were just happy to be here to see him again… they hadn’t realised but this was what they needed.
“Does anyone else know you’re here?” Marcel was curious because he knew that as soon as the Mikaelson’s found out they would be all over them.
“No, I kind of surprised myself. I just took a walk down memory lane, I just got here after being in Mystic Falls for a while. Let me tell you that town is still a little bit of a walking disaster.” Y/N chuckled and Marcel couldn’t help smiling. He has never heard them sound so free and relaxed, it made his heart ache knowing that they all knew that there was something wrong and they all did nothing to help them.
“I’m sure Davina would love to see you. She’s around somewhere.” Marcel smiled. He knew that Y/N has a soft spot for the witch and will want to see her again, if they were going to leave. He hopes that they don’t. Honestly, it hadn’t been the same since they left.
The first Mikaelson to see Y/N was Kol and he had to do a double take as Davina went running to her best friend.
“Y/N!” Davina cried out, making them turn and grin at their best friend.
“Davina!” Y/N called out just as happily and when they looked over Davina’s shoulder they saw Kol and sighed knowing that word was going to get around about them being back.
Klaus couldn’t believe it, when Kol told him that Y/N was back and it was like something had lit up in him. He took a walk and went to all their favourite places like he would always do every evening and that was when they saw them, stood watching a violinist with their eyes closed letting the music floor through them.
Y/N tilted their head and couldn’t help a small smirk pulling at their lips as they felt Klaus gaze on them. They knew it was only a matter of time until he found them and Y/N could say that they missed him, missed him to the point that it ached. They had forgiven him and was now at peace with everything that had happened, they had wanted to go back to him years ago but they knew that neither of them would be ready and it would end up blowing up in their faces. Truthfully, coming back to New Orleans they had a small amount of hope that Klaus would still be here, but knew if he wasn’t they had eternity to find him.
“Hello Love.” Klaus spoke into Y/N’s ear and sent thrills down their spine and Klaus smirked knowing that he still had an affect on them.
“Nik.” Y/N sighed in content and leaned a little back into his warmth, it was so easy to slip back into how they used to be.
His arms around them felt right… it felt like home.
