Who: Henrik and Klaus Mikaelson
What: talking and sulking
When: at Rebekah’s wedding
Where: at the Mikaelson place
Warnings: surprisingly NO!



Henrik had been trying really hard to be happy throughout the day. He’d even succeeded for a good deal of it. Hard not to with how happy his sister had looked, even if it still saddened him a bit that she the wedding truly finalized that she wouldn’t be moving back in with them. It was odd, a situation he didnt’ quite understand. Back home she might have moved too, but only a few feet away in another house, and even then it wasn’t too likely. He always thought her husband would have moved in with them, had never really thought about it to be honest. None of his siblings had left the home, even when some of them were at marrying age, so he’d thought they’d be together forever

Though forever seemed to have changed a bit. Before he’d thought it meant however long they were alive. Now he knew it meant they would go on for a long time. Nothing could hurt his siblings and Henrik was glad for that, wanted for them to be close again like they had when they had been home. Not the distance he saw in them at times in Lawrence.

The chaos of the party, the amount of people, the music, the dancing, it all got to be too much for Henrik after a while and he ducked away from the tents and headed to his treehouse. He needed the solitude, the closeness to nature that it provided. He was still getting used to all of the changes in the new world, still wrapping his head around so much of it, but at least he had his family.

Even if he was afraid they would all leave him.

He sat down on the ground by the treehouse, watching the horses grazing in the other field and if he concentrated hard enough he could block out everything else, so that’s what he tried to do.

Klaus had noticed just how much all this was getting to his little brother. Possibly the most perceptive of the Mikaelsons when it came to Henrik. Klaus followed him from the reception, staying a little behind, using stealth as only the Original Hybrid could. He needed to gauge if Henrik would rather be left alone, in which case Klaus would give him that. he didn't want at all to crowd the boy. Adjusting to this world, to this time, it was proving hard for him. That and learning the powers he possessed, those of a witch. Klaus hated it of course, what those powers represented in a Mikaelson, and that he'd already had the thought of how best to use them to further their aims.

He was, after all, what he had been made.

And the death of the boy now sitting by his treehouse had been the catalyst.

Finally deciding to speak. Klaus stepped out of the shadows and cleared his throat. "Henrik." he said simply, moving across to sit near him.

"Hard to watch isn't it? She's happy, she's radient even, but ultimately she won't be living with us now. Thing is, and believe me, this took me a thousand years to get my head around, it doesn't mean she's leaving us, or that she won't be our Rebekah anyone, our sister. That doesn't change with this."

It was a lot for Henrik to wrap his head around and it was a hard conflict going on in his head over wanting Rebekah with him always and also wanting her to look as happy as she did today. He didn’t think he could really have both, not when she was going to live in another house. “I don’t like this time,” he muttered, poking at the dirt with a stick he’d picked up. “Everything is confusing and different...I like the bathroom though.” Hot water was a nice accommodation that he didn’t want to give up. Not that going back to his time would have a good outcome for him. He knew he’d be dead.

He looked over at his brother and shrugged. “I’m trying my hardest to be happy for her and mostly I am. But all of these people are here and wanting to talk to me got to be too much.” At least he understood what they were all saying now and was able to talk back to them. It had definitely been even more overwhelming when he’d only been able to understand his siblings.

“It’s never going to be like it was, is it?” Which was good and bad. At least it meant Mikael wasn’t around to hurt them any longer. That was definitely a good thing.

Confusing and different, Of course it was. Klaus could see it, oh he'd lived through the centuries and loved every second of it, bar...50 years or so. But Henrik, he'd been taken from his time, from everything he knew. He didn't see the world change, he just woke up to it already changed.

He knew about trying to be happy for their sister though. Rebekah was leaving them, not far and likely not forever given Stefan's ability to mess up spectacularly now and again. But she was not going to be there all the time anymore.

"She was the constant you know, over all the years we have lived. It was Rebekah that stayed when the others left. And I wasn't the best company all the time. I was cruel to them sometimes, no...not like Mikael, before you ask, but just...I had a hard time seeing that they loved me. I didn't think anyone could and so I made sure no one could. I know how stupid it sounds but yes. You're the only one I'll tell this to Henrik, but I thought if I kept them at arms length they wouldn't be able to hurt me, betray me. But Rebekah, for so long, she never did. And now she's married and its going to be hard to accept. No it won't be like it was but is that such a bad thing. Like she said, she's never going to stop being your sister, she's never going to stop being there for you, and she loves you, we all do."

It was rare that the hybrid was this honest, really with anyone beyond Caroline, but his brother deserved it from him.

"You're doing well, today I mean. Even if it's hillariously obvious how much you hate that tux she made you wear"

“Of course she would. She is your sister and she loves you. She would never leave your side. And she did like you best. After me.” Henrik paused, looking away for a moment. He loathed to bring it up because he knew how much pain it brought his siblings whenever he did mention it but he couldn’t quite help it. The words just spilled out. “After I died at least.”

He looked over at Klaus and offered a small smile, not wanting his brother to feel guilt. He knew all of his siblings did, but Klaus did most of all. “But yes, not all change is bad. Sometimes it can be good. It is good that our parents are not here and that I am. It is good that Rebekah is happy. That you are happy. It is good that Caroline is with us. And Crowley and the angel.” He scrunched his nose for a moment. “I am not sure if it is good that Katherine is with us. I do not understand her.”

She reminded him too much of Tatia and how much that girl had damaged their family. And here was Katherine, damaging everything all over again. He didn’t like it and hoped she wouldn’t hurt their family as the other had. “What will we do if they do come here, mother and father?”

The boy sometimes had a very simple view of the world. It was one that Klaus had shared a long time ago, before life, before Mikael and Esther took all that away from him. Henrik's death hadn't changed Klaus's lot in life, Mikael had beaten him before and would do so many times since. As Henrik mentioned the death however Klaus reacted, not in a way that most would notice but it was in his eyes. Just a slight moment but it was there. And gone again as quickly. Of course there was still guilt. He felt likely there would always be.

"It is good that you're here and not them. And as you say, sometimes change is good. I was never overly fond of the concept. I'd lost you, I wanted the rest of our siblings to stay the same. I spent so long trying to make it happen but in the end they all left bar one. Bar Rebekah."

The comment about Katherine amused him. "Katerina reminds me of Tatia in more ways than just her looks, there's another with that face, no different to the others who share it. They despise each other which is funny since they're so alike."

If their parents came....

It was a simple mention of them, a question from a younger brother.

"I don't know what we'd do Henrik, with them here. I'd have to find a way to send them back. You know that, don't you? I might have to do some things you wouldn't like. But it would be for the best."

Henrik did not like the idea of there being three Tatias or the possibility of all of them being around at once. He could not see how any good would come of that. If they were anything like the first he did not think it would end well for anyone. She had seemed to care mostly for her own happiness, dragging both his brothers around, trying to tarnish their bond and ruining their lives. Perhaps she had loved them both, he did not know, but he did not like her version of love.

He stilled at Klaus’ answer to if his parents came, the question about what he would need to do. He wasn’t completely naive. He knew people were frightened of his family, he’d glimpsed conversations here and there of what they had done, of what they had become. He was still reconciling it all with how he had known them, how he still knew them, but one thing that had remained the same was the love they had for him.

It seemed that their parents’ love had not stayed the same. It had turned into hate. It was easy for Henrik to see that for Mikael with how he had treated all of them. But with Esther it was harder. He still loved his mother. But if she was going to try and hurt his siblings…

“You should kill them. If they come here and want to hurt us. You should not let them stand the chance. I am going to learn spells to help incapacitate them.”

Klaus hadn't expected that. Not from Henrik. Being told killing them was fine. If they came here to hurt, which would be the intent if they ever did. He wasn't sure how to react to it either. Was he making his brother as cold as the rest of them. As twisted. Henrik was the one of them with a chance, much as Klaus wanted to turn him when he was older. Keep him with them.

He didn't want to return home, or to New Orleans. He had all he wanted or needed here.

"I know you must hear things, about me, about what I've done in the past. But I promise you one thing Henrik, you will never have that from me. I'm not Mikael. I'm not like him. I just suppose that sometimes I need to deal with things a certain way. And sometimes its quite...memorable."

He would destroy his mother. And Mikael. He'd done it before, he would do it again, and once again he'd enjoy it. Better that they not come here. Better that Henrik never see the truth of that side of him.

"Now come on, can you face more dancing or should we go and get ice cream to eat out here?"

“Most people are polite and do not speak of what you all have done to me. But I have picked up on some things.” In the filters he was able to see for a short while before he assumed he was locked out of conversations. And simply from the fear he sensed from some of the others when talking to his family. Henrik didn’t always like it but he wanted to understand it.

He knew his siblings had lived a long time and he knew they had been on the run from their father. Mikael hadn’t been a kind man as a human, there was little doubt in Henrik’s mind that he was probably even crueler as a vampire. He could only imagine what it must have been like to run from him for so long.

“I do not think you’re like him, Nik. But yes, I would like to go for ice cream. I am very tired of dancing. And wearing this tux.” He really hated the thing.
