Set right after 6X16 The Downward Spiral, because I really missed Klaus the whole 6th season and Caroline with her humanity off is too fun!

"Hello, love, to what do I owe this this pleasure?" Klaus grinned excitedly into his phone as he lazily stepped out from the dark bar and into the sunlit street.

Caroline never used his number anymore. The last time was way back when she graduated from high school and that was because she needed him to save stupid Damon.

"I felt a little bored," she smiled in her whiney voice, tossing around a paper tote bag in her other hand as she strutted down the sidewalk. "Wanted to see what the most psychopathic creature on the planet was up to, for ideas."

"Oh ha, sorry to disappoint," his smile never left his face, "I'm actually just going for a walk."

"Well, that's no fun." She pouted, "I just drained a few sales girls and got myself a new purse." she turned her eyes towards the shopping bag she held.

"Dear Caroline, you've flipped your switch, sweetheart." Klaus was amazed at this information, he never thought she'd flip hers, at least not while she was still so young, "How's it feel?" he asked seductively, maybe she wants to come visit.

"The whole point is not to feel, it's fantastic! So how's New Orleans!?" she dodged and peppily changed the topic away from herself.

"Wolf hunts, witch problems, pretty sure my parents are looking to kill me again," he listed and frowned, "Actually the only thing going correctly is that my daughter is well hidden."

Klaus pauses, he heard Caroline's breath hitch at his mention of Hope. Had she not heard? Not known that his werewolf bloodline allowed him a daughter?

"Oh right! I remember now," Caroline recalled, "you fucked that silly slut Haley!"

Klaus wasn't a huge fan of Haley either, but his lips pursed anyway. Was Caroline angry at him for having at it with Haley when he was, in fact, still courting her?

Caroline smirked, "Let me guess when! Hmm, was it after I said goodbye to Tyler, for like, the millionth time," she rolled her eyes at bringing up Tyler, "Right before I killed those 12 witches?"

He sighed lightly, because that was exactly right.

She didn't let him pipe up, "Yeah, that musta been heartbreaking for you. Little me shows you my bad side and we still didn't get it on." she taunts.

Klaus recalls that, at the time, she had been pretty torn up inside after the witches died, but humanity off Caroline, was only considering how he missed an opportunity to take advantage of her.

"Ah, actually, sounds like, it was a little more heartbreaking for you then, that I held back." He whispered into the phone.

She grinned, "Mmmmmaybe." She dragged that out, teasingly, "but then, Silas made you believe you had that piece of stake stuck inside ya and I got to spend the whole day cutting you open, rubbing my hands all over you."

He shook his head, smiling softly down at the cobblestone he walked on, "It's nice you have such fond memories of that awful day"

"Oh shut up, you know you like it rough." she giggled at him and he smirked back, "Like our time in the woods. Rough and frustrating. That's why you're still wrapped around my little finger." she said playfully, feeling the power she had over him.

"Am I now?" he joked, she did have him wrapped up still, the torture of waiting for her to be back in his life.

"Maybe I should come visit!" she offered bubbly.

His head snapped up, eyes growing dark when she says this is an option.

"I'd really like that, love." his voice deepening because it was the truth.

"Great, you get started holding your breath and I'll go back to having fun!" She rescinded her visiting option.

Humanity off Caroline would be the death of him, he sighed, but had to smile at her playfulness.

"Enjoy yourself, Caroline." he drawled.

She smiled and closed her eyes, she appreciated him, he'd never ask her to turn her humanity back on. She knew he loved her either way.

"Good bye, Klaus," Caroline liked saying his name, just as much as she liked hearing his accent roll her name out,

"love" she whispered to mimic him, before ending the call.
