Tyler wasn’t entirely sure what Klaus had summoned him for, but he was sure it was going to be something completely inane. “Polish my shoes” or “take the garbage out for me” or something similar.

That was the usual kind of thing, after all. “Oh, watch my gallery on Christmas while I’m out of town even though no one will be there” was about as pointless a task as there was, after all. Tyler’d brought Caroline and between the two of them they’d found a way to make it, well, less boring to say the least. Whatever it was Klaus had in store, Tyler was sure it wouldn’t be anything too bad. And at least he’d have Caroline to bitch to after it was all said and done.

When Klaus had asked Tyler to look after his gallery while he was away, he hadn’t meant for Tyler to sleep with his pretty little girlfriend in the gallery. In fact that was one of the things Tyler was supposed to be protecting the gallery from. Not that Klaus actually thought people would be having sex in the gallery. But the whole point of Tyler checking in on it was to make sure nothing bad happened. And that certainly fell into the bad category.

Once he was back he called Tyler to the gallery. When the young hybrid walked into the back office Klaus had his little sex tape playing on the computer. He turned the screen to face Tyler. “Care to explain yourself?” he asked coolly.

For about half a second, upon seeing the tape of him and Caroline, Tyler was annoyed, but it was immediately filled with shame and disappointment in himself for letting Klaus down the way he had. Klaus hadn’t technically said “Don’t have sex with Caroline in my gallery,” but it could have been assumed.

He wasn’t sure what to say, or even if he should say anything. Everything that came immediately to mind was only set to make Klaus even more disappointed in him. Besides, he was pretty sure that the tape spoke for itself, so all he found he could do was shake his head.

“That’s what I thought,” Klaus replied still keeping his cool for now. He turned the screen back around and exed out of the security tape. No need to see that anymore than was necessary.

He turned his attention back to Tyler, eyes narrowed. “Why exactly did you think my gallery was an appropriate place to screw your girlfriend?” Klaus snapped. So much for keeping his cool.

“Well, it was Christmas,” Tyler said after a moment, nothing else really coming to mind. “And we hadn’t exactly planned on it. It just… happened. You know what it’s like being a vampire.”

“I know better than to have sex in someone’s place of business,” Klaus growled. Even when he picked up women at the bar, he at least took them to his car before he screwed them, usually followed by some feeding but that wasn’t the point. “If this is the kind of influence Caroline has on you, you shouldn’t be seeing her.”

Tyler opened his mouth to apologize, and then Klaus continued. For a minute, Tyler wasn’t entirely sure what Klaus was talking about, but then the meaning sunk in and he stared at his sire, aghast. “If anything, Caroline’s a good influence on me,” he protested. “She makes me a better person.”

Being a better person wasn’t exactly what Klaus was going for here. Even if he did believe that Caroline made Tyler better, that wasn’t the right argument to use on him. But considering what happened on Christmas? Klaus wasn’t buying it.

“Clearly, not,” he replied his voice still a bit of a growl. “It’s time you break up with her,” he added. The statement made him feel a bit more calm. He was back in control just the way he liked it.

Tyler’s mouth dropped open, and he stared at Klaus in shock, a wave of anger building up in his stomach. He didn’t want to break up with Caroline, though at the same time, as soon as Klaus said to he both wanted to and felt that he needed to. He fought down the second feeling. He loved Caroline. They were meant to be together forever.

“You can’t be serious,” Tyler snapped. “There’s no way in Hell that I’m breaking up with Caroline.”

This was not the type of thing Klaus would joke about. Not that he was even the type to make jokes in the first place. “Oh I am very serious,” Klaus replied not even worried about Tyler’s arguing. He knew Tyler would do whatever he said. It was just the nature of the sire bond. “As soon as you leave here you are going to dump Caroline. Break her heart. And then you will never speak to her again.”

Tyler bit back a retort that probably wouldn’t have gone well. “Forget it, Klaus,” he snapped. “I’m not going to do it.” And then, before Klaus had a chance to change Tyler’s mind, Tyler was out the door. He had to go see Caroline.
