Ariana frowned as she lay in one of the beds at the Mikaelson mansion, they were getting the hell out of that wretched town and surprisingly, everyone was okay with it. For once, Elena was happy with Ariana's decision, the younger doppelganger was far too ambitious to stay in Mystic Falls forever, that was clear. But there would come a time where they would meet again, they were both now immortal after all. And Ariana was still angered by Niks decision but what choice did she have anymore? She couldn't help but love him despite the people he hurt and a tear dripped from her eyes. But she knew the pain that came with losing him and refused to feel that way ever again.

Her hand gently caressed the lilac silk bedding beneath her fingertips. She knew that Klaus could offer her the most beautiful life, but he came with an evil and she knew that if she stuck around him for long enough, it would wear off on her. She just couldn't help it. Screaming and shouting seeped through the floor from many levels below and her eyes closed, hand pressing over her ears.

"Ariana" she heard him despite having been blocking out all sound, her eyes opened slowly and she looked across at him in the doorway, his hair was dishevelled, his eyes miserable and he looked like he could cry, blood splattered on his shirt. Niklaus had just lost the last hope he had of creating an army. Once, his hybrid army had been all about power but things were different now. His motivation had shifted now, Ariana was all he cared about and he was failing her. Over his years, Niklaus had earned a good many enemies and they would all be after her... He couldn't even protect the one thing he loved. He had hurt her today and he could see it in her eyes, Klaus didn't know how to love somebody but he couldn't wait to love Ariana for eternity.

"Nik" she sighed and held her arms out for him, he didn't need her anger right now, there was devastation written across his features as he made his way to her, dropping to sit beside her and slumping into her arms. Niklaus didn't cry, he refused to but he sighed sadly a few times as he held her tightly, safe in her embrace.

"I don't have any way of keeping you safe anymore" he expressed his fears after the longest time.

"You're all I need Nik" she smiled, pulling back to look at his face, a small smile surfacing on her own as dimples appeared. He was the most stunning person she had ever met, she never could've imagined such beauty. Slowly, as she held his cheeks she leaned toward him in the bright light of the bedroom, pressing her lips against his gently.

His response was instant, the intensity building from the moment their lips collided and he shifted her further onto the bed, his body hovering over her as they kissed passionately. Her hands tangled in his hair and his mouth dominated her. His response was instantaneous, gently holding her hands above her head and she moaned into his mouth. Her legs spread open and he hovered between them, dragging her leg to hook over him with his free hand, hand sliding up her leg softly, fingers dusting the surface.

"Nik" she breathed out pleadingly and he frowned, her emotions intensified lead her too long for him and he chuckled as he leant back, releasing her hands. Her fingers scrambled to pull his shirt up over away and toss it away as he chuckled.

"We have all the time in the world, Darling" he breathed, hovering over her as her hands trailed over his now exposed chest, eyes wide.

"I want you Nik" she sighed, not looking up at him in her innocent curiosity to be with him and he chuckled, placing his hand under her head as he pulled her further into a kiss. Softly, he gripped the bottom hem of her shirt and she nodded her consent before he pulled the shirt over her head and away. His eyes scanned her eagerly and she beamed, she was happy now and he couldn't help the grin that split across his face. Their lips reconnected and her hands fumbled with the button on her jeans. Nik's hands pulled them away and over her head, pulling her jeans off like an expert, flicking them away and leaving her in just her underwear.

"Gosh, you are so beautiful" he breathed, lips moving to attack her neck in soft, controlled kisses that caused her to moan as his hand brushed down her body, slowly lowering the strap on her bra as she nodded. Reaching around, he unclipped it and threw it away, his eyes joining with hers for a long moment before he looked down, eyes glistening at the sight of just how beautiful she was. His lips kissed down her chest to her breasts and she quivered below him, causing him to smirk against her as he held her hands down over her head tightly, his tongue dashed across her nipple and she yelped and sighed simultaneously as he continued the beautiful torture. "Is this okay?" he wondered

"Perfect" her sigh was in complete content as his teeth gently rolled her nipple, her hips buckling below him as he laughed. His free hand slid further down her body and crept between her legs to where her underwear lay dampened. "Hmm?" she nodded. His fingers softly pushed the fabric aside and his cool fingertips came in contact with her warmth for the first time. She gulped out a groan and his eyes fluttered involuntarily at the sound of it. Klaus rested his forehead against Ariana's as his fingers proceeded to dabble and her groan ghosted across his cheek.

"Oh Baby" he growled kissing her violently and she returned it eagerly, her hips buckling uncontrollably and he smiled softly. She was so innocent, reserved for him and he had never been so happy in his life, despite all that had occurred that day. Softly, he dipped a finger into her and she moaned, his name proceeding to spill from her lips, causing the tension in his jeans to harder further.

"I love you, Ariana."

"I love you Nik" she breathed.
