Request from @sluttylesbian4you: Hi, I love your elijah imagines so much can you do a Elijah x fem!reader fluff with a little baby pls thank you ❤️
Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x
You stand in the doorway, watching Elijah with your daughter. She’s a matter of months old, and she rests in his arms like she knows she belongs there – like she knows she’s loved by the man you’re proud to call her father.
You study the way he looks at her, appreciative of the way he let you lie in after being up all night with her earlier in the week. Elijah looks at her like she’s the most precious thing in the world, a smile on his face and he hums what you recognize as your favourite song.
He’s always said she’ll end up a carbon copy of her mother, never saying it’s a bad thing. You start to see how that might happen as she smiles at the tune.
You don’t want to interrupt them, don’t want to disturb this perfect moment, so you stay silent for a little while longer, watching the man you love with your child.
“Are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to come and say good morning?” Elijah never takes his eyes off the baby as he speaks to you, and you’re reminded of how he can hear your heartbeat, how he probably heard you moving about upstairs. You sigh, and walk over to him, wrapping one arm around his waist from behind and resting your chin on his shoulder.
The other arm brushes your daughter’s cheek. “Good morning, sweetheart.” You kiss Elijah’s cheek. “And good morning to you too. How was she?”
“Oh, we had a fair bit of crying, but didn’t take too long to calm down.”
You both stand there for a moment, in awe of the baby that you two created, of how perfect she has, how small she is, how delicate she is. She’s truly yours, and you’ve both said how you didn’t think it was possible to love something so much.
Her eyes close slowly, and at that, Elijah lowers her back into her crib.
It’s then that he turns and brushes his lips against your forehead. Your eyes close as he does so, breathing him in, reminding yourself that in spite of everything you’ve been through, every danger you’ve faced, you’re here, now, with him, with her, as a family. A bond that can never be broken, not really.
“I trust you slept well.” Elijah cups your face, brushing your cheek with his thumb. You lean into his touch as you hum in response. “Let me make you breakfast.”
“You really don’t have to, you’ve done enough today.”
“And you do enough every day, yet you still choose to do more.” You open your mouth to protest. “No arguments. You stay here, watch over her, and I’ll be back with breakfast.”
“And then what?”
Elijah smiles. “Well, that all depends on her, doesn’t it?” It’s not a dig, it’s a statement of love. Your lives now revolve around the baby in the room, and you couldn’t ask for anything more.
The moon is high Like your friends were the night that we first met Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet Now I’ve read all of the books beside your bed
Elijah looked out over the courtyard of the Mikaelson compound, his tie yet to be tied, shirt buttons yet to be done up. He was nervous, his shaky hands forcing him to give up on the bowtie for the moment. It was okay, he told himself. He still had an hour until she arrived, and he could spend that time making sure everything else was perfect before he focused on his own appearance.
Moonlight bled across the concrete tiles, and as Elijah listened to the buzz of the streets, he could hear the laughter of a group of young women, Y/N’s laughter the most distinguished among the noise. She was a few houses along, hanging out with her friends before she was due to meet him back at the place they both called home.
Her laugh was so familiar to Elijah, so comforting. He remembered the first time he’d heard it, the way it captivated him, the way its owner had left him speechless with her beauty. Two years on, and he still found himself amazed by Y/N, by the way she made him feel so at peace, by the way she let him know everything about her.
He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her on that fateful night, and as he leaned against the doorframe, waiting for her, he knew he never would. He caught a glimpse of her favourite book left on the breakfast table, making a mental note to move it back to the bedside later.
The wine is cold Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street Cat and mouse for a month or two or three Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe
The minutes ticked by faster than Elijah would have liked, and he resisted the urge to curse as he heard Y/N’s laughter grow closer and closer. He couldn’t ask her to leave, couldn’t tell her that he wasn’t ready for her yet, would never even have dreamt of giving her the cold shoulder. He couldn’t bear the thought of ever hurting her, which he hoped to convey to her tonight.
He hoped to tell her that despite all the games they had played in the first few months of their relationship, constantly playing hard to get, Elijah had wanted Y/N to be his more than anything in the world. He hoped to tell her how he wanted to hold her hand for the rest of his immortal life, how he wanted to wake up next to her, to follow the movement of her chest as she breathed against him, their hearts beating in synchronicity.
Elijah took one last look at the perfect vintage he had selected, at the evening he had taken so long to create, before turning back to the mirror hanging over the fireplace. He wasn’t used to his hands being so shaky, and as he failed yet again to do his tie, he sighed, thinking to himself that he would just have to leave it.
He leaned back against the doorframe, overlooking the courtyard, and took a deep breath when he saw Y/N walk into the compound, looking as beautiful as ever.
Kiss me once ‘cause you know I had a long night (Oh) Kiss me twice 'cause it’s gonna be alright (Uh) Three times 'cause I waited my whole life (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Elijah couldn’t help but smile when Y/N looked at him, forever captivated by her. She ran up the stairs to see him, stopping when she looked at his dishevelled state. He didn’t blame her for her confusion, however brief it was, knowing that everyone was used to seeing him as immaculate. “Long night?”
“You could say that.” Elijah leaned into Y/N as she kissed him, his hand resting on her jaw. Her lips left his too soon, but it was that simple kiss combined with her next words that reassured him that everything would be fine.
She slipped one hand under his open collar, using the other to pull the tie off his neck, tossing it carelessly to the floor. “Well, I still think you look dashing.” Elijah resisted the urge to laugh at her dramatics, reminding himself that he had waited his entire life for the woman who stood before him, waited for this moment.
Y/N looked past him, an eyebrow raising at the sight behind him – the lights, the wine, the mood perfectly set. “Is it my birthday?”
Elijah intertwined his fingers with hers, pulling her into the room. “Come on.” Pulling her along felt so easy, and he hoped she couldn’t hear how fast his heart was beating, his hands finally having stopped shaking once they found their place in Y/N’s.
I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings Uh huh, that’s right Darling, you’re the one I want, and I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Elijah poured Y/N a glass of wine, his fingers brushing hers when she took it from him. She sipped from it before looking at him. “Elijah, what’s going on?” There was worry in her voice, and Elijah wanted nothing more than to kiss it away, wanted to reassure her that everything was going to be fine. He’d had a plan for tonight, but as he looked at Y/N now, he realised that he wanted to abandon that plan. He took a deep breath and began the most important speech of his life.
“Y/N Y/L/N, I always thought my family was complete, always thought that eternity had nothing more to offer me. And then, two years ago, I met you and I realised that I was wrong. I have walked this earth for a thousand years, and I have never cared for something as much as I care for you, as much as I love you. You were unexpected in the best way possible. I want the rest of my life to be as unpredictable and I know that the only way that’s going to happen is if you’re in it. I love you, Y/N, which is why I need to ask you one simple question.” He took the small box out of his trouser pocket and knelt before Y/N.
Y/N didn’t even give him the chance to finish that question before she’d wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
Y/N laughed as Elijah slipped the ring onto her finger.
Uh huh, that’s right Darling, you’re the one I want In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams Oh, you’re the one I want
Later that evening, Elijah leaned against the doorframe as he watched Y/N walk across the courtyard of the Mikaelson compound. His eyes were drawn to that diamond on her finger, the smile on her face as she showed it off to his sisters. He could hear that familiar laughter escaping her lips, and there was something so endearing about knowing that he would now hear it for the rest of his life.
She was the one he wanted, he was sure of that, and he was so lucky that she wanted him back.
Amidst the laughter, the celebration from the rest of his siblings, Elijah caught Y/N looking up at him, caught her smiling at him. It was a smile that he would capture in photographs, in his dreams, every single day for the rest of eternity.
But for now, he was more than happy to watch, forever captivated by her beauty. So he leaned against the doorframe, tie abandoned, shirt collar undone, lips tingling and heart racing. He leaned against the doorframe, overlooking the Mikaelson compound, the place he called home finally feeling complete.
All because of his missing piece, all because of Y/N Y/L/N, the woman he would soon call his wife.
Let’s take our time tonight, girl Above us all the stars are watchin’ There’s no place I’d rather be in this world
“Where have you been?” Y/N’s words were swallowed when she looked at Elijah, at the smudge of blood on the collar on his otherwise porcelain white shirt. She looked at the furrow in his brow, the familiar darkness that resided in his eyes. She didn’t need him to answer the question, not when she saw the pain and regret carved into his face, making her want to kiss it all away.
Elijah had been protecting his family, protecting Y/N, just as he always swore he would. He told her so as they lay in bed together, as he asked her why she stayed with a monster such as him. She would kiss him then, mutter words of love against his lips, reminding him that he wasn’t a monster.
Not to her.
He’d tell her that if he could, he would give her every star in the sky, that there was nowhere he would rather be than with her. She felt the same, so when she looked at him now, at the remnants of the acts he had committed, she walked towards him with tenderness.
Elijah leaned into her touch as she cupped his cheek. “Let’s get you cleaned up, shall we?”
Your eyes are where I’m lost in Underneath the chandelier We’re dancin’ all alone
In true Elijah Mikaelson fashion, the oldest of the living brothers produced a handkerchief from his shirt pocket with his usual flourish. He didn’t speak as Y/N took it from him, her fingers folding over his for only a moment.
There was a tension between the two that they recognised, one that sparked heat, flames crackling along their skin with a pleasant tingle. Y/N thought it best to let it burn alongside her task, her eyes never leaving Elijah’s as she began to dab at the blood on his collar. “Whatever you did, you did it because you’re a good man.”
“How can you be so sure?” Elijah’s voice was hoarse, his lips inches from Y/N’s.
“Because I know you, Elijah Mikaelson.” Y/N dropped the handkerchief to the floor, that tension overpowering everything she knew to be logical. “And I love you.”
The overhanging light illuminated his face as he leant in to kiss her, and Y/N couldn’t help herself when she grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him close as their lips moved in perfect synchronicity, a dance that only they knew the steps too. Elijah’s hands tangled in her hair as he kissed her, his tongue swiping along her bottom lip and gaining entrance.
There’s no reason to hide What we’re feelin’ inside Right now
Y/N pushed Elijah’s suit jacket off his shoulders, let him pull her shirt over her head. There was a rhythm to what they shared in these moments, one they knew like the backs of their hands. There was an understanding to it all, a mutual agreement that there was nothing to hide now, only to show the intent desire that they felt for each other.
Their lips joined again as Elijah pushed Y/N towards the bed, laying her down with a pleasant fragility. There was that heat, burning just as Y/N had intended, scorching her skin as Elijah hovered over the top of her.
She made short work of the buttons on his shirt, and she saw Elijah smile as he discarded of it with a carelessness that was so unlike him. A carelessness that was reserved for her, for these moments, for right now.
He hovered over her before pressing kisses down her stomach, before undoing the button on her jeans. He never took his eyes off her as he pulled them down her legs, kissing his way back up her thighs, and repeating the action with her underwear.
Y/N grabbed the back of Elijah’s head and pulled him back up to face her. She smiled before flipping them over.
So, baby, let’s just turn down the lights And close the door Oooh I love that dress
Elijah looked up at Y/N in amazement, one hand stroking down her spine as he leaned up to kiss her. “You really are beautiful.” His words sunk into her skin, her hand trailing down to the zip on his trousers. She pulled it down, reaching inside his boxer shorts and finding just what she wanted.
Elijah groaned against her, and for the first time that day, Y/N was pleased the door was closed. She couldn’t help herself when she sunk onto him, remembering just why she loved him, forgetting everything he had done that she should have thought was monstrous.
He had protected her today, she knew that, and as she began to move, she hoped that she was helping him to forget how bad he felt about embracing his nature. It didn’t matter what the occasion was, whether he was late for a date where she wore his favourite dress or a moment of pure spontaneity, Y/N would always remind Elijah that she loved him for protecting her.
That he was a good man, regardless of what history said.
His hand trailed up her back, resting on the back of her neck, and thus began the moment where they became one.
But you won’t need it anymore No, you won’t need it no more Let’s just kiss ‘til we’re naked, baby
Elijah’s lips found hers and Y/N fell into his kiss as they moved together, the only sound the occasional gasp that filled the room. It was in these moments that Y/N was reminded of how she didn’t need anything else, only Elijah, only his love and affection, only his undying willingness to keep her safe, to remind her that she was loved, that she was his.
So she continued to kiss him as they moved, a knot forming in the pit of her stomach, the final flame of that fire within her threatening to burn brighter than any others of its kind. Her lips left Elijah’s only for a moment, only to look into his eyes and tell him that she was close to exploding, close to drowning in him.
And then his lips devoured hers again, swallowing her screams and giving her his own. And when it was over, he rested his forehead against hers, their breath mingling in disjointed unison.
Elijah looked at Y/N through hooded eyes, and smiled briefly, before letting her climb off him. She settled down next to him, head on his chest as she tried to regain her breath.
“I don’t deserve you,” he muttered into her hair. She sat up and looked at him.
“How many times, Elijah? You’re a good man. You deserve everything.”
Versace on the floor Oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
Elijah looked at Y/N then, really looked at her. He didn’t understand how someone like her could love someone like him, how she could stand with him through everything, how she could think that he was a good man. She hadn’t been there for the past ten centuries, and whenever he reminded her, she always told him that she didn’t care.
That it didn’t matter who he was then, only who he was now.
She was perfect, truly. A diamond that belonged with the stars, a silk dress that should be worn by royalty. And for some strange reason, she had chosen to be with him.
So when she told him that he deserved everything, he told her that that was what he wanted to give her. He wanted to give her everything and more. She smiled that beautiful smile and leaned up to kiss him.
His hands slid over her bare shoulders as he pulled her back on top of him, and in that moment, one of those moments that he would always wish to share with Y/N, Elijah realised that he truly was the luckiest man in the world.
Request from @awesome-badass-cafeteria-sauce: Ooo! I just thought of a good one! Would you be interested in writing a fic for this request? So, the reader is part of ‘the gang’ and human. When Elijah first comes to Mystic Falls he is instantly drawn to her and admires her from afar and she isn’t really looking for anyone - just trying to stay alive - but they do become friends. When Klaus comes to town, she falls hard and fast for him - probably the whole bad boy immortal hybrid thing - and it hurts her so much to see him smitten with Caroline. She kind of breaks after the whole prom thing in 4x19 of TVD - the dress (it looked like a wedding dress! Come on!) & him allowing Tyler to live but to leave just because Caroline was so happy with her ending for prom. Elijah sees this and comforts her and she realises that who she needs has been right in front of her all along.
It was so you, so typically you. It was just like you to fall for someone you couldn’t have, someone who was so wrong for you in so many ways. It was just like you to fall for the bad boy, but he wasn’t just the bad boy this time around, he was the bad guy.
At least, that was what everyone else thought.
You knew that Klaus Mikaelson was breaking your heart, that he had fallen for someone else, for your friend of all people, but that didn’t stop part of you wanting to see him redeemed, wanting him to look at you the same way he looked at Caroline.
At first, it had been easy to pretend, easy to watch him take more notice of your friend than he did you. It had been easy to pretend that one day he would turn around and he would look at you like you were the most important person in the world.
It had been easy to pretend that he didn’t just see you as his older brother’s friend, Elijah always a source of comfort.
But it was getting harder to find that comfort, especially after prom. Especially when Klaus helped her with the most beautiful of dresses, when he let Tyler leave town just to make her happy.
It was harder to find that comfort when you were sat on your doorstep in a dress you had thought was perfect, alone.
Alone, until he showed up.
Elijah had been watching Y/N all night, watching the way her eyes flew to Caroline, as she overheard what had happened between her and Klaus. Elijah was sure he had seen Y/N’s heart shatter into pieces tonight and there was nothing he wanted more than to stitch it back together.
He had fallen for Y/N the moment he had seen her sat in the corner of the Mystic Grill, nose in a book. It hadn’t taken long for the two of them to become friends, nor had it taken long for Elijah to notice the interest she had taken in his younger brother.
He had known from the start it would only end with her getting hurt and he hated that. He didn’t blame Klaus, the hybrid oblivious to Y/N’s feelings, only himself, for letting it get this far.
He was walking home when he saw her outside her own house, heels discarded on the pavement, her cheeks flushed. Elijah knew then that she had been crying and all he wanted to do was kiss away her tears. He walked over to her, and leaned against the porch frame, looking at her with a sad intrigue. “May I ask why you’re sat here?”
She looked up at him. “Forgot my keys.”
“Ah.” Elijah moved, and took a seat next to her. “Care for some company?”
He didn’t wait for her to answer, giving her a look that he knew she would recognise. A look that would tell her he wasn’t going anywhere.
She smiled a sad smile at him, and in that moment, Elijah thought she had never looked more beautiful.
There was something about being with Elijah that made you want to spill the deepest secrets of your soul. It was the way he had always looked at you, as if he were hanging onto your every word, taking each into his heart and savouring it, keeping it safe from harm.
That was why you couldn’t help it when you leaned into him and cried onto his shoulder. He had always known about your feelings for Klaus, and you relished his silence as you confessed your frustration, your heartbreak.
And then, when you were finished, when you were sure there would be no more tears, Elijah kissed the top of your head, and everything changed.
It was as if a switch had flicked on in your mind, your heart racing faster than it had ever done before at the sight of Elijah. It was a feeling you associated with Klaus, not with the man who was one of your closest friends.
You pulled away from him and looked at him as if you were seeing him for the first time. Elijah. Elijah who had been there for you through everything. Elijah who had never complained. Elijah who had always held your hand when you needed him most.
Elijah who you never thought you would be the one. But yet, here you were, second guessing everything.
“Something wrong, Y/N?”
Elijah hadn’t been able to help himself when he kissed the top of Y/N’s head. It had just happened, as if all his feelings for her had finally bubbled over the surface. And now she was looking at him differently, and he was afraid.
Afraid that she wouldn’t want to be near him anymore.
“It’s you.” Two words, those were all she said. Two words that had Elijah’s undead heart racing, two words that he both understood and didn’t, his hopes and dreams merging with reality.
Y/N continued. “It’s you I’m supposed to be with, isn’t it?” She paused, and looked at him, cupping his cheek with her hand. Elijah’s eyes fluttered closed, having only dreamt of her touching him like this. “That’s what you want, isn’t it?”
So she had figured it out, Elijah thought. He wasn’t surprised; she was an intelligent woman.
“Only if it’s what you want.”
She leaned up and kissed him, her lips capturing his in a way Elijah had only envisioned in the deepest corners of his mind.
He was the person that had been in front of her all along, waiting for her to come to this very realisation. And as he kissed her back, Elijah Mikaelson knew only one thing.
Request from Anon:Ok so I just had this idea and since requests are open I was wondering if u could do it XD ok so what if the reader finds out Elijah is a vampire and obviously he goes into the “im a vampire” speech expecting the reader to run and all that but instead when the reader finds out they are just like “nice :)” not even scared or anything I feel like that would be so funny and a big shock to elijah, u can make it as fluffy as u want :)
Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x
Elijah’s never been terrified before, never known a fear like this one. The fear that comes when you’re staring at him like you are now, having found him in his most primitive state. He’s always wanted to surprise you, always treats you on your birthday, but this is a surprise he didn’t want to give, and he doesn’t know what to do.
So he does the only thing he can, eyes never leaving you as he pulls out a handkerchief and dabs at the blood on his lip. He’s expecting you to run, expecting you to scream. The woman he loves has just found him as he was made by his mother – a vampire, a monster that should only exist in stories.
It’s as you’re looking at him, your eyes wide, that he realises he has to say something. He opens his mouth, and he hates the words that come out, hates how they sound. “Y/N, there’s something I have to tell you. I’m – ”
“A vampire.” Your words are coated in a tone of disbelief, and Elijah doesn’t understand why you aren’t more afraid. Any other person would be.
Then again, you’re not just any other person.
Elijah doesn’t expect the next word that comes out of your mouth, and he’s the one who gets the surprise when you speak. You look at him with intrigue, and a smile graces your face. “Nice.”
He wrinkles his forehead in confusion. “Nice?”
You walk over and kiss him on the cheek. “This doesn’t change anything, Elijah. I still love you.”
Elijah looks at you in wondrous exasperation. You never cease to amaze him, and the fact that you’re not even upset about his lies of who he is makes him love you more than he thought was possible. He’ll always be surprised by you, and he constantly looks forward to the next time.
That night marks the first Mikaelson family dinner that you’ll be aware of the fact that vampires exist. Elijah has spent the day explaining to you who he and his family really are.
Elijah’s eyes never leave you as you take your place next to him at the table.
His brother sits at the head of the table, and the hybrid – as you’ve just discovered – looks at you with a smirk. “So, Y/N. Elijah tells me you know the truth. Scared?”
You look back at Klaus with as much arrogance as he shows you, the two of you always trying to outdo each other in such a game. “Not at all.”
The hybrid smiles, before glancing at his older brother. “Hold onto her, Elijah.”
Elijah’s arm rests on the back of your chair. “Oh, I plan to.”
The dinner goes swimmingly, with Elijah and his family happy to answer any questions you may have. It’s the final one that reminds Elijah just why he loves you, and just why he always looks forward to the surprises you give him. Your question makes him laugh, throwing his hands up in exasperation as he sees how serious you are.
Request from Anon: You could make a imagine where the reader is invited to a ball and Elijah asks him to dance and it’s fluff but there’s a lot of sexual tension going on between them during that. It would be nice.
Agh, I’m sorry this has taken so long! Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x
You stand there, you wait, you listen to the beat of the music and note how it matches the steady thrum of your heartbeat. You’re not supposed to be here, you know that, know that you’re not suited for such an occasion, know that you don’t have the charm that exudes from all the men here.
The charm that exudes from him.
You can’t help but notice him, can’t help but notice the way his suit fits him perfectly, almost like it was made just for him, can’t help but notice the way he’s standing there too, as if he’s waiting for something. For someone. Maybe he’s listening to the beat of the music too, maybe he’s noting how it matches the much slower thrum of his undead heart, maybe he can hear yours too.
You shake the thought out of your head, knowing that he doesn’t even know you exist.
Your heartbeat has sped up, you know that, more of a quickstep than a waltz now. It sounds disjointed, out of time with the classical music that floods the ballroom, the setting that you were invited to and you don’t know why. You try to train your gaze on a spectacular ice sculpture, but you catch a shadow, and you can’t help but look at the being that has swallowed the light so beautifully.
It’s him, standing at your shoulder, and there’s that charm again, radiating from him like heat from a fire. It scorches your skin, and you feel it bury itself inside your soul, making your knees tremble. With only a false composure, you turn to face him and you can’t help but study the deep brown of his eyes, the parting of his hair, the way he looks at you with such intrigue. Your mouth is dry as you open it, the one word that escapes it hoarse and crackling.
“Hello.”
He blinks at you, a smile playing on his lips. Your heartbeat only increases as you watch him restrain such a gesture, and you realise then that the stories are true. Of all his family, he truly is the most charming, the most sophisticated, the most handsome. He extends his hand, and you take it, shivering as his fingers curl inside your palm. You never knew a handshake could have such an effect, and you miss the warmth of his touch when he removes his hand. “I’m Elijah.”
You can’t tell him you already knew that, can’t tell him that you’ve known who he is since the moment he arrived in town. You tell him your own name, and that’s when Elijah finally smiles, no restraint necessary and it fits with his nature. It’s a charming stretch of his lips, and you feel as if a spell has been cast on you by some unknown fairy godmother.
But in those stories, it’s always a prince and a princess. Tonight, as Elijah asks you to dance, as you accept his offer with shaky hands, you change the narrative. Tonight, two princes will dance the night away, changing the tale with an ending that suits them.
Elijah puts his hand on your back – ever the leader, as you’d expect – and you let him move you to the beat of the music. It was easy to focus on when you were trying to match it with your heartbeat, but now you have Elijah’s body so close to yours and all rational thought is flying out of the window with every step that you take. Elijah chuckles, and you look at him with wide eyes.
“Your heartbeat is racing,” he mutters, and you swallow out of fear or attraction, you’re not sure. This man could kill you with a flick of his wrist, but you don’t want him to leave you, don’t want his body away from yours. “You should just try to relax, Y/N.”
Even the way he says your name has an element of charm about it. It’s so infuriating, what he’s able to do to you, the way he crafts each letter as if it were its own individual sculpture. You’d heard his brother was the artist, but Elijah’s mannerisms, his voice, his tone, has you doubting such legends.
You try to do as he says, but it’s oh so difficult. You can feel his body swaying against yours, can feel your heart still racing, that spell he’s cast wrapping around the two of you as if chaining you together. You never want that chain to break, never want to be freed from the pleasant prison that Elijah has entrapped you in.
But then the song ends, and you can’t help but look at Elijah, waiting for something, something you’re not quite sure of. He removes his grip, and you miss his touch, miss that warmth.
But it’s replaced when Elijah takes your hand in his and brushes his lips over your knuckles. You almost fall to your knees, overwhelmed by his immortal charm. Such charisma is undying, just as he is. It haunts you into the night, his final words to you ringing in your ears.
“It was a pleasure, Y/N. I look forward to next time.”
We could leave the Christmas lights up ‘til January And this is our place, we make the rules
Elijah wasn’t really focused on the book in his lap, not when Y/N was sitting opposite him, nose in her own novel. When he was sure she wasn’t looking, he’d look up, spare a glance at her, study her as he so often did. He loved the way her eyes flew over the pages, the way her bottom lip found its way beneath her teeth when she reached a point that had her particularly entranced.
Entranced, just like he found himself every time he looked at her, every time she reminded him that she was his.
It was times like these, quiet, tranquil moments that were so rare, that Elijah reminisced on all the things he wanted to give Y/N. He wanted to find them a house, remembering how she had told him of childhood Christmases. When December came, he wanted to decorate that house the way she remembered it, wanted to dance with her, barefooted under the glow of fairy lights, kiss her under the mistletoe.
He wanted to kiss her every day for the rest of his life, wanted to place his hand on the small of her back and hold her close, whisper his feelings for her until his throat was raw.
Elijah smiled to himself as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her fingers dancing across the pages of the book in her hand. He wanted to kiss each fingertip, but for now, he would settle with watching her at her most content.
And there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
Y/N wasn’t really focused on the book in her lap, not when Elijah was sitting opposite her, nose in his own novel. When she was sure he wasn’t looking, she’d look up, spare a glance at him, study him as she so often did. She loved the way he remained serene no matter the content of the book, the way his fingers turned each page with such delicacy.
Delicacy, just like he treated her with every time he kissed her, every time he held her tight and reminded her that he was hers.
It was times like these, quiet, tranquil moments that were so rare, that Y/N reminisced on the life that she wanted with Elijah. There was almost a golden haze about him, a light that followed him constantly, crushing any darkness he felt he had. She saw it when they were in bed together, facing each other, Elijah’s fingers tracing her cheekbones as if she were made of glass.
She wanted him to do that every day for the rest of her life, wanted to feel like she had known him forever when in reality it had felt like seconds, to feel comfortable with him yet always anticipating just what he would do next.
Y/N smiled to herself as Elijah turned another page, lips twitching ever so slightly at the corners. She wanted to kiss those lips, feel them part beneath her own, but for now, she would settle with watching him at his most content.
Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? Forever and ever, ah
Elijah looked on as Y/N neared the end of her book, finally choosing to speak when she turned the last page. “How was it?”
“Not too bad. I’ve read better.” She stood, before walking over to the bookcase and putting the novel back in its rightful place. Y/N turned to face him. “How’s that?”
Elijah smiled. “I’ve read better.” He didn’t tell her the truth that he had no idea what was actually going on in it, having lost the ability to focus with her around. He closed the book, putting it on the table next to him. He would give it another go some other time, when Y/N wasn’t in the room perhaps. But then again, he could think of nothing worse than not having her in his line of sight.
He reached out and grabbed her hand, tangling his fingers with her own. He would go wherever this hand led him, he realised, as he fulfilled his wish of kissing Y/N’s fingertips. He pulled her around to his front, feeling a familiar sense of comfort as she sat on his knee, threading her fingers through his hair.
Elijah would always want to be close to Y/N, he had known that since the moment he met her. He rested his head on her shoulder, nose brushing the column of her throat and she hummed contentedly. “What’s all this about?”
Elijah looked up at Y/N as if she were the only person left in the world. “Do I need a reason?”
Take me out, and take me home You’re my, my, my, my lover
Y/N looked down at Elijah, his question lingering in the air. He didn’t need a reason, she supposed, didn’t need a reason to show his affection. “I suppose not.”
“Yousupposenot?” Elijah slid his hand up her neck, thumb resting on the point of her chin, fingers splayed across her cheek. He searched her eyes. “Do you have even the slightest idea of what you mean to me?”
Y/N smiled. “I think I have an idea.” She didn’t tell him that what she meant to him probably mirrored just what he meant to her, if not more, didn’t need to as she looked back into Elijah’s eyes with all the affection she could muster. She could think of nothing worse than not having him by her side, than waking up one morning and not being able to have these moments with him.
She continued to play with his hair, hand sliding down the back of his head and fiddling with the hairs on the back of his neck. She dipped her head slightly, realising that he was what being at home felt like, as she fulfilled her wish of feeling Elijah’s lips part beneath her own. Her hold on him only intensified as the kiss grew deeper, Elijah’s other hand sliding up the small of her back.
Y/N would always want to be close to Elijah, she had known that since the moment she met him. She parted from him, nose brushing against his as she smiled. “I love you, Elijah Mikaelson.”
Elijah’s eyes never left Y/N’s, looking at her as if she were everything. “I love you too, Y/N Y/L/N.”
Request from Anon: Heyyy, so congratulations on the new blog!! I know it will be as fantastic as the others you own!! And here I’m, already, making a request:)) I would like to request an imagine where the reader finds out she’s pregnant, full of fluff with a very protective Elijah being a very proud dad:D Pleaseee❤❤
Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x
You smiled as you looked down at your stomach, placing your hand over the spot where there was life growing. There was barely a bulge there yet, just a bundle of cells beneath your skin, slowly merging to form a person, a child that you would be able to call yours.
You had only known about them for a matter of hours, and at first, you had been surprised, stunned into disbelief. Elijah was a vampire – he wasn’t supposed to be able to reproduce, but there was the evidence on the pregnancy test, as clear as day. You wondered how he was going to react when you told him, and that moment of doubt flew into your mind. It was brief, memories of how he acted around his niece making you see sense.
He would be thrilled, you knew it.
You waited for him now, your grin growing when you heard the door open. You watched him walk into the compound, studying the features of the father of your child. He spotted you and smiled, making to walk over to you and kiss you, when he stopped.
You watched as he listened to the heartbeat of your child, as his eyes fell to your stomach, to the hand that you placed on it. His gaze met yours, and a single word escaped his mouth. “How?”
There was concern in his face, but you could see the ghost of a smile begin to grow. There was no doubt that it was his child, his faith in you undying. You would never betray him, just like you knew he would never do the same to you. “I don’t know. But right now, I don’t care. Do you?”
Elijah took a few more steps over to you, his hand covering the one on your stomach. His breath mingled with yours, your lips mere inches from each other’s. His fingers slotted with yours in that moment, listening to the beating heart of the child he got to call his own. “Not particularly.” Elijah smiled at you, teeth showing as you saw true contentment in his eyes for the first time in a long time. His other hand reached up and cupped your cheek, thumb sliding over your skin. “Do you want this?”
Your heart began to beat rapidly at his concern for you, his desire to always give you what you wanted. You nodded, close to tears. Elijah smiled again, and it was in that moment he kissed you, closing that gap between the two of you. His lips moved against yours in perfect synchronicity, his hand never leaving the one on your stomach. There was three of you now, and as he parted from you and looked down at your stomach, you knew that Elijah would make sure to protect all of you.
For the next few months, you could see how proud Elijah was to be a father. Pride emanated from him every time he looked at you, every time he noted how your stomach was growing. You could see it every time he looked at Hope, knowing that he was finally to have his own child. You heard it in his voice every time he spoke to his brother about fatherhood, every time he told you he loved you.
It was a terrifying thing, to become a parent, but Elijah managed to make you forget that fear. He reminded you of the joys of parenting, of how there would soon be a child that relied on you, that loved you unconditionally, that would make your dreams of having a real family come true. As you lay in bed, Elijah placed his hand over your stomach, mirroring that moment when he had found out you were pregnant as you placed your hand over his and slotted your fingers together.
And then you felt it.
Elijah’s eyes widened at the action, your child kicking against your hands. He smoothed your intertwined hands over your skin, as if to soothe the baby, but instead another kick was issued. You laughed. “I think someone likes you.”
Elijah smiled and you watched as he leaned over and pressed his lips against your stomach. “Well, I happen to like that someone too.” Elijah moved back up, his hand still on your stomach, your baby have calmed down with the feel of the kiss. Using his other hand, he hooked a finger under your chin, his eyes searching yours. “And I promise to keep you safe, Y/N. Both of you.”
“I know.” You pressed your lips against his, a gentle feather-light kiss enough for Elijah to understand just what he meant to you. There was so much weight in his eyes, so much strain from constantly believing that he had to be the responsible one. Your kiss reminded him that he wasn’t alone, not as long as you were by his side.
You settled into him, your head in the crook of his neck, and Elijah placed a kiss on top of your head. “I love you.”
There was still a few more months to go until you could meet your child, but you knew that when that time came, everything would be perfect. You would try your best to be the perfect mother, and you knew that most things would be uncertain but it didn’t matter.
Not when you knew the truth.
Elijah Mikaelson would be the perfect father. And the proudest one, too.

You were sleeping soundly in your small bedroom next to elijah when your phone on your nightstand started vibrating making you wake up. You picked it up quickly grunting silently hoping it had not woken up elijah, he really needed and deserved to sleep.
Your eyes adjusted to the faint light of the phone screen in the dark room, as you turned on your side to check on elijah and smiled. Elijah was sleeping soundly next to you, you could see only his naked shoulders as he laid on his tummy, his arm protectively around your hips.
He had come back after a 18 hours shift from the legal office he had started working in this year, an intern work sl4ve, in the belief that in a year or two he could finally have a competing paycheck to give you the life he promised you. Not that you needed it, you were happy with what you had and grateful for the sacrifices he made for the family as his work were the main financial source for yours and klaus college found, you would graduate next year and klaus had just started.
When elijah had come home he was so tired and sleepy but his eyes were always full of love when he saw you. although you had insisted that he went to sleep right away, he had still managed to last a round with you, as he had replied that he genuinely wanted to, having missed you, which you had too. Then he had fallen in a deep sleep, which you were pretty sure not even the alarm could wake him up.
You gently removed elijah’s arm from your hips careful not to wake him and read the name on the phone screen and picked up immediately
‘nikalus what is going on? I swear if this a drunk call I will-’ you whispered annoyed, it wasn’t the first time klaus had called in the middle of the night, usually because he was drunk
‘can you come over?’ his voice sounded both worried and sad, that made you alarm immediately
‘I’ll be there ASAP. let me wake elijah’ you replied turning towards your sleeping boyfriend
‘no’ klaus replied immediately
‘no?’ you asked questioningly
‘right now I need a drinking buddy not my older brother scolding me’ klaus explained
‘okay, are you sure you are okay?’ you asked again worry and confusion rising. If it had been an emergency he would have allowed you to wake elijah so you were not really understanding the situation as worry for your best friend rose
‘I will tell you when you come over. The bar next to campus.’ He said before ending the call
You got up trying to be quieter as possible and put on the first clothes you could find, then you took a paper and pen from your study desk
‘honey, niki called and told me he needed a friend and not to wake you. I’m sure everything is fine, or I would have called you by now. Do not worry and sleep, you need it. We are at the bar next to his dorm. I’ll be back before you start missing me ;) Love you y/n.’
You place the note on his nightstand over his phone and then bend down to tenderly kiss his head, he stirred in his sleep and you smiled at that.
You exited the door, started the car and drove to where klaus had asked you.
You parked the car and entered the bar, it was fairly empty being the middle of the week. You spotted klaus right away he was drinking at the counter, giving the shoulder to the door
‘this better be a life death situation for having me leave your handsome sleeping brother in my warm bed’ at the sound of your voice he turned towards you and your face fell.
He was under shock, and it was crystal clear. the tone at the phone had not let transpire his real state, you would have bet that he had cried from how his eyes had a faint red in them. You rushed to him taking the back of his neck in your hand while your eyes scanned his features and you other hand gently inspected if he was hurt
‘niki, are you okay? Are you hurt? what happened?’ you asked panic surging in you
‘y/n gosh relax’ he told you as you let him go
‘Nik you are scaring me. What happened?’ you replied not convinced as he motioned for you to take a sit
‘I’ve had too few drinks for this conversation y/n’ he replied drawing his drink. He was underage barely 20, but apparently at this bar they did not care
‘ what do you need then?’ you replied, reading in his eyes that he needed you to be there but momentarily shut up with your interrogation
‘my best friend terrible humor and at least five other shots of cheap bourbon’
‘okay’ you said sitting down and putting your purse on the counter, you still could not tear his eyes away from him
‘and please loose that face no one is dying’ he said annoyed and rolling his eyes
‘sorry’ you apologized, before his smirk came back and a matching one crawled on your face as he called the bartender and gave you your usual favorite drink
You two were in a comfortable silence as you waited to understand from klaus where the conversation was meant to go
‘so how did you sneak out?’ he finally said
‘elijah was sleeping soundly. He really needs that he is always tired even if he thinks he is able to hide it from me’ you replied with sincere concern
‘well I can’t blame him. tolerating you all day must be exhausting’ klaus smirks
‘hey! I did not come here to be bullied by you’ you reply hitting playfully his arm as klaus wears the usual satisfied smirking expression and for a moment all seems normal
‘I’m only joking. If I hear another time from him saying how lucky he has to have you I think I will drown myself in the Mississippi’ he comments annoyed, you smile at his reply
‘you are just jealous’
‘maybe’
‘so that is what this is about. that girl cami you met last week? Or caroline the girl you have been trying to get for months’ you said hitting him playfully with your shoulder as he rolled his eyes.
Cami was a psychology student in your same university. He met her at a party where you brought along klaus and was immediately starstruck by her. while caroline instead went to klaus’s college and had in the past months repeatedly resisted to klaus attempts to charm her.
‘no. we are fine. playing hard to get but I can see right through her’
‘she seemed nice’ you replied sincerely sipping your drink
‘you two would get along’
‘well then be sure to bring her over for dinner so I and elijah can meet her and show her your baby pictures if she or the other finally give in’ you smirked
‘sod of’ you two had a laugh. it felt normal and klaus felt safe and carefree as always he was with you. Best friends since high school. Even if a grey cloud was hovering over you.
Many too drink and laughs later you were borderline drunk
‘niki I’m a drink away from probably pass out or loose lucidity so you better start speaking before I drunk call your brother’ you were pretty sure that if you tried to walk you would not be able to do it without swinging, the same could be said for klaus
After a moment of silence he spoke, eyes low, fixated on his drink
‘she is pregnant’ he said barely audible
‘who?’
‘the girl I had a one drunk night stand a month ago’
You froze in your sit. Was he really telling you what you thought you understood? You turned your head to look at him, his eyes wide in fear while shock took over you
‘niklaus you are trying to tell me that you will be a father?’ you asked your voice careful to not let transpire your shock and fear
‘yes’ he whispered
You drowned your glass not sure what to say ‘is she sure she is pregnant and that is yours?’ you asked him seriously
‘she went to the doctor and told me I was the last one she slept with, the doctor confirmed it both statements’ he replied fidgeting with his glass
‘and have you two talked about you know’ but before you could continue he said
‘she wants to keep it. and I don’t know what to do’ a single tear ran through his cheek
‘I don’t know what to say niki. Congratulations? I’m sorry?’ you tried uncertain, but he was not even listening, his eyes and mind distant as he spoke
‘I never wanted kids. I once asked Elijah about it and he said he couldn’t wait to have them with you’ you blushed at his admission ‘I instead didn’t see it as something for the future, or that I just needed the right girl. Not that I have not thought about it and I loved taking care of little Rebekah and Henrik. But after what Mikael did to me how could I ever be a good father’ the last sentence was almost a whisper as more tears appeared in his eyes
‘no niki enough of that. If you don’t want kids because you don’t want them that is okay. its perfectly fine, normal, and there is no shame. But if you do want them and fear to have them because of some self-loath that makes you think you will ever be like your father you listen to me niklaus mikaelson that is not the case, and it never will be. You are an amazing person, you are the best person I know. and you will be an amazing father, I saw how you cared for you younger siblings and I know you better than anyone so trust my judgement. You will be an amzing father. Do you understand me?’
You told him holding the back of his neck tenderly as elijah usually does to him in emotional moments, so he looked at you eyes shining with tears and nodded at you.
‘do you understand me?’ you asked again tenderly but firmly
‘yes’ he replied weakly
‘good. I love you brother’ you told him before hugging him tightly as he reciprocated hug.
‘I’m not going to lie it’s going to be difficult. your life has changed forever but me and elijah will help you. have you noticed or not elijah became a parent since you were born, and I as soon as I got myself into your crazy family’ you reassured him
‘I’m not a child!’ he scoffed
‘but you usually act like one. Also we will use your situation as our run trial for children. See? Nothing to worry about’ you told him sincerely, in his reply he hugged you again that meaning a thousand words
‘what about elijah?’ he asked insecure, the idea of having disappointed the brother he had looked up to his entire life made his blood freeze
‘he loves you niki, we both do. Nothing could drive him away from you, especially this. And see you stand up to your responsibility will only make him love you even more. There is nothing to worry about. Trust me I know your brother better than I know myself’ you comforted him sincerely as he just nodded still hugging you
‘enough of sad stuff let’s celebrate now!’ you told him when he let you go and he chuckled at that
Way too many drinks after.
‘What do you think the levelheaded noble responsible elijah would think if he saw us right now?’
‘Don’t talk about my sweet handsome boyfriend like that niki.’ You warned him
‘He is my brother I have rights to tease him’
‘true’
‘so what would your sweet handsome boyfriend think if he saw us right now?’ he mocked you
‘see that’s better. Well I think he would be very disappointed that his underage brother and his girlfriend sneaked out in the middle of the night to drink and probably pass out here. He would scold us but deep down have a laugh because he loves us’
‘something like that sweetheart’ a calm voice said behind you two
You and klaus turned your heads toward the voice
Elijah stood in front of you, he was wearing the long coat he had worn this morning to go to work, and a simple shirt and trousers, missing the jacket and the tie of his attire. still he was elegant and perfect but not quite as always. his hair was combed but a bit messy singling he had been in a rush and although having taken the time to look decent he had not endured in his usual perfect attire. Still he looked handsome as ever.
‘eli!’ you cheered getting up and throwing yourself at him and drawing him for a kiss. he complied helping you steady yourself although his scolding look remained, he could not negate you anything
‘you are drunk my love’ he replied as the kiss ended, looking at you before helping you sit back on the stool, his arm around your waist worried you were going to fall
‘maybe a little! But don’t be mad ‘Lijha! We had our reasons’ you wine as you lean on him
He could not be angry at any of you, and you all new that. Also he found you adorable when you were tipsy even if he did not like it. you got particularly clingy and winy and that made him chuckle. He himself had never been drunk in his life, being to composed and responsible for it, hence since he could remember he has been the safe drinking friend of the family and you. you always felt safe with him knowing that he got you, and would protect you from others and from yourself.
He kissed the side of your head tenderly to let you know that it was okay, a fond smile escaping his lips before he fell back in the role of the adult
‘so this is what you two do when I’m home after a long day at work trying to finance our whole family. you two sneak out for a drunken night like some irresponsible teenager?’ he asks his eyes darting between you and his brother
‘so tell me, what was the reason for well this’ he asked his brother as you stayed silent
‘elijah you did not need to come’ klaus replied annoyed not looking at his older brother
‘you see nikalus. when I woke up in my empty bed with a note that my lovely girlfriend had gone out in the middle of the night because my favorite little brother needed help I think it’s in my duty and right to go check on the two person I care the most about’ he replied adjusting his sleeves
‘aww you hear him niki? He loves us’ you say before drawing him for another kiss and snuglling at his side that made him chuckle, as he held you close as you rested your head on his shoulder
‘little brother, care to elaborate?’ he prompted again
‘sod of elijah’ klaus says not looking at him and annoyed
‘we are going to asses you two’s poor judgment tomorrow morning, now we are going to focus on the matter that brought you two here tonight’ he said sitting on the stool close to you, in response klaus tried to drink his drink but elijah was faster taking the glasses from both klaus and your hand as the younger mikaelson let out a grown in disappointment
‘I’m going to take these, you two had enough’ eliajh says taking your drinks and drowning them, than he adjusts his sleeves before speaking again
‘so niklaus, what could not wait until morning?’ klaus remained silent as elijah waited patiently
‘my love could you fill me in as niklaus seems to have lost his tongue’ elijah tried with you giving you his best seductive smile but you remained silent too, suddenly interest in the floor as you looked at it
‘nikalus?’ he tried again
‘come on niki tell him, he will find out sooner or later’ you tried starting to become exhausted by the situation but klaus remained silent clenching his jaw in shame and fear.
‘find out what’ elijah asked panic rising in him as he stadied his voice
Elijah understood klaus was not going to speak so he tried with you again, turning to you and giving you that smile again, his hand resting on you knee
‘y/n if you tell me what is going on when we get home I’m going to do that thing you like so much’ he said seductively, his hand on your thigh as his thumb drew invisible circles on your jeans, your eyes darting to him in lust as you straightened your back very interested in his offer as heat rose in you
‘So do we have a deal?’ he added his other hand adjusting a strain of your hair. It was too much, the combination of his promise, his hands on you, the alcohol in your system and klaus silence, so you gave in. blame it to the alcohol or to your boyfriend that looked like a Greek statue, so you spoke.
‘eli we are going to be an uncle and an aunt!’ you cheered clapping your hands, the alcohol of the night starting to affect you more than you wanted to admit
‘what did you say?’ elijah asked in shock, his face loosing color as his eyes darted to his brother
‘hayley is pregnant’ klaus finally spoke still not looking at elijah
‘what? The girl from the crescent pack society? The one you woke up in her bed last month when you forgot our brunch?’ he asked, his mind connecting the dots as you took klaus hand in your own as a comforting gesture
‘yep’ klaus replied making the ‘P’ pop and fidgeting with the empty glass ‘and yes we are sure its mine and that she is pregnant’ klaus continues, elijah makes sign to the bartender that refills his glass. He drowns it.
‘brother..’ elijah replied his tone gentle and understanding even if he was at loss of word, that was something new.
‘before you ask I thought I used protections but apparently not’
‘what has the girl decided?’ elijah asks, still klaus does not look at him, you are glued to your seat as your hand draws pattern’s on klaus’s hand
‘that she is keeping it. Obviously we don’t love each others and she is not expecting us to become a couple or move together. but she wishes I would be man enough to be part of the child life and help her’
‘niklaus..’ elijah says when he is interrupted
‘don’t scold me about my duties toward that child and honor and to live up to my actions, brother. I know it very well or I wouldn’t here be getting drunk with your girlfriend while contemplating my fate’ klaus says frustrated finally looking at elijah. His expression plain like always. And every fiber of kalus body is burning hoping his brother, his savior, is not judging him or being disappointed by him. blame it on the alcohol but klaus was vulnerable in this moment.
‘I see, you don’t need a lecture from me. But still I want to ask you do you want this child brother? Either answers are in your rights’ elijah tone is tender, and klaus relaxes understanding his brother really cares and that gives him the strength to reply as he did not expect this question
‘no. yes. I don’t know. I never thought that was something I had to worry about. I always through that first mikaelson new born would be from you two or freya, not me!’ he says his head in his hands ‘you two doing the nasty since I can recall and me the causal guy get a girl pregnant, what were the odds’ he tries to humor but elijah doesn’t fall for it
‘please refrain from addressing our sexual life to avoid the question, brother, and also generally’ elijah said hiding a smile as you just laughed ‘he has a point…’ you say as elijah squints his eyes at you
‘I don’t know, after the initial panic, the idea made me smile, before panic took over again’ klaus replies sincerely
‘this believe it or not is how people describe parenthood. I know the conditions are not ideal and this is not something you expect but I’m proud of your choice brother’ elijah says standing up after being sure you can stay on the stool without falling, he moves to klaus and squeezes his brother shoulder reassuringly giving him a smile, klaus finally looks at him and in elijah’s eyes can’t find nothing but love and understanding
‘it’s the end of being with head in the clouds isn’t it’ he states
‘when it comes to you I highly doubt that but you are not alone, we are here for you as we shall be always’ elijah says hugging him, klaus complies, snuzzling his face in his brother’s shoulder as when they were kids. The unspoken statement about Mikael lingering the air
‘you will be an amazing father niklaus, trust my judgment brother’ elijah says looking at klaus in the eyes, his hand on the back of klaus neck drawing patterns with his thumb, before elijah looks at you a silent conversation going on between you two
‘you should move in back with us’ he adds as you squealed in agreement ‘We could rent a two bedroom apartment near your university so that the child is still close to their mother. A college dorm is not an ideal place to raise a child if we can avoid it’
‘no. you two love your flat’ klaus says his eyes wide, this is too much, he is grateful for the help but he already feels like a burden he doesn’t want to make things worse
‘but we love you more’ you tell him ruffling his curls as elijah hums in agreement
‘I don’t know what to say’ klaus replies his eyes watery
‘nothing. We are family’ you say ‘we stick together as one always and forever’ elijah adds
Klaus hugs elijah again, and he seem so small as when they were children as he keeps his brother close, overwhelmed with emotions
‘room for one more?’ you ask as klaus draws you in the group hug before elijah kisses the top of your head
‘wait until Rebekah finds out, she will spoil that child’ elijah humors but instead klaus face falls, he realizes that sooner or later the entire family will know
‘father..’ he starts and you hug him closer
‘father will not come near the child niklaus, you have my word. And I’m sure mother and our siblings will help us if we need so. Freya will not let her nephew or niece be without a family, even if she has to excuse her precious father’ elijah comforts klaus that just nods in agreement.
Mikael refused to pay for their maintenance, not that the two brothers would accept the money, but their mother gave them only a small allowance in secret that elijah and klaus were too proud to accept but that you took in every month and divided in their banks accounts, you all pretending it wasn’t like that.
The three of you stay like that for a bit longer before elijah speaks
‘come. I’m not letting you drive home’ elijah says, paying for the drinks and letting you all go, you have problems standing straight so elijah picks you up in his arms bridal style as you giggle and snuzzle in his chest
Klaus follows behind opening the door of the car for elijah where he places you in the backset and kisses your forehead feeling you fall asleep already. Klaus takes the passenger seat and elijah gives a fond look at you with the rear mirror as he sees you sleeping. Then he squeezes his brother’s arm one last time before starting the car and driving home.
the three of you, a 24 years old legal intern, a 22 years old college student and a just freshly tuned 20 years old artist with side jobs now had a baby to grew. The conditions were far from ideal but you all knew something. this baby would grow up to be loved by this strange little family. that was your only certainty in a world without Hope.

‘okay, are you sure you are okay?’ you asked again worry and confusion rising. If it had been an emergency he would have allowed you to wake elijah so you were not really understanding the situation as worry for your best friend rose
‘I will tell you when you come over. The bar next to campus.’ He said before ending the call
You got up trying to be quieter as possible and put on the first clothes you could find, then you took a paper and pen from your study desk
‘honey, niki called and told me he needed a friend and not to wake you. I’m sure everything is fine, or I would have called you by now. Do not worry and sleep, you need it. We are at the bar next to his dorm. I’ll be back before you start missing me ;) Love you y/n.’
You place the note on his nightstand over his phone and then bend down to tenderly kiss his head, he stirred in his sleep and you smiled at that.
You exited the door, started the car and drove to where klaus had asked you.
You parked the car and entered the bar, it was fairly empty being the middle of the week. You spotted klaus right away he was drinking at the counter, giving the shoulder to the door
‘this better be a life death situation for having me leave your handsome sleeping brother in my warm bed’ at the sound of your voice he turned towards you and your face fell.
He was under shock, and it was crystal clear. the tone at the phone had not let transpire his real state, you would have bet that he had cried from how his eyes had a faint red in them. You rushed to him taking the back of his neck in your hand while your eyes scanned his features and you other hand gently inspected if he was hurt
‘niki, are you okay? Are you hurt? what happened?’ you asked panic surging in you
‘y/n gosh relax’ he told you as you let him go
‘Nik you are scaring me. What happened?’ you replied not convinced as he motioned for you to take a sit
‘I’ve had too few drinks for this conversation y/n’ he replied drawing his drink. He was underage barely 20, but apparently at this bar they did not care
‘ what do you need then?’ you replied, reading in his eyes that he needed you to be there but momentarily shut up with your interrogation
‘my best friend terrible humor and at least five other shots of cheap bourbon’
‘okay’ you said sitting down and putting your purse on the counter, you still could not tear his eyes away from him
‘and please loose that face no one is dying’ he said annoyed and rolling his eyes
‘sorry’ you apologized, before his smirk came back and a matching one crawled on your face as he called the bartender and gave you your usual favorite drink
You two were in a comfortable silence as you waited to understand from klaus where the conversation was meant to go
‘so how did you sneak out?’ he finally said
‘elijah was sleeping soundly. He really needs that he is always tired even if he thinks he is able to hide it from me’ you replied with sincere concern
‘well I can’t blame him. tolerating you all day must be exhausting’ klaus smirks
‘hey! I did not come here to be bullied by you’ you reply hitting playfully his arm as klaus wears the usual satisfied smirking expression and for a moment all seems normal
‘I’m only joking. If I hear another time from him saying how lucky he has to have you I think I will drown myself in the Mississippi’ he comments annoyed, you smile at his reply
‘you are just jealous’
‘maybe’
‘so that is what this is about. that girl cami you met last week? Or caroline the girl you have been trying to get for months’ you said hitting him playfully with your shoulder as he rolled his eyes.
Cami was a psychology student in your same university. He met her at a party where you brought along klaus and was immediately starstruck by her. while caroline instead went to klaus’s college and had in the past months repeatedly resisted to klaus attempts to charm her.
‘no. we are fine. playing hard to get but I can see right through her’
‘she seemed nice’ you replied sincerely sipping your drink
‘you two would get along’
‘well then be sure to bring her over for dinner so I and elijah can meet her and show her your baby pictures if she or the other finally give in’ you smirked
‘sod of’ you two had a laugh. it felt normal and klaus felt safe and carefree as always he was with you. Best friends since high school. Even if a grey cloud was hovering over you.
Many too drink and laughs later you were borderline drunk
‘niki I’m a drink away from probably pass out or loose lucidity so you better start speaking before I drunk call your brother’ you were pretty sure that if you tried to walk you would not be able to do it without swinging, the same could be said for klaus
After a moment of silence he spoke, eyes low, fixated on his drink
‘she is pregnant’ he said barely audible
‘who?’
‘the girl I had a one drunk night stand a month ago’
You froze in your sit. Was he really telling you what you thought you understood? You turned your head to look at him, his eyes wide in fear while shock took over you
‘niklaus you are trying to tell me that you will be a father?’ you asked your voice careful to not let transpire your shock and fear
‘yes’ he whispered
You drowned your glass not sure what to say ‘is she sure she is pregnant and that is yours?’ you asked him seriously
‘she went to the doctor and told me I was the last one she slept with, the doctor confirmed it both statements’ he replied fidgeting with his glass
‘and have you two talked about you know’ but before you could continue he said
‘she wants to keep it. and I don’t know what to do’ a single tear ran through his cheek
‘I don’t know what to say niki. Congratulations? I’m sorry?’ you tried uncertain, but he was not even listening, his eyes and mind distant as he spoke
‘I never wanted kids. I once asked Elijah about it and he said he couldn’t wait to have them with you’ you blushed at his admission ‘I instead didn’t see it as something for the future, or that I just needed the right girl. Not that I have not thought about it and I loved taking care of little Rebekah and Henrik. But after what Mikael did to me how could I ever be a good father’ the last sentence was almost a whisper as more tears appeared in his eyes
‘no niki enough of that. If you don’t want kids because you don’t want them that is okay. its perfectly fine, normal, and there is no shame. But if you do want them and fear to have them because of some self-loath that makes you think you will ever be like your father you listen to me niklaus mikaelson that is not the case, and it never will be. You are an amazing person, you are the best person I know. and you will be an amazing father, I saw how you cared for you younger siblings and I know you better than anyone so trust my judgement. You will be an amzing father. Do you understand me?’
You told him holding the back of his neck tenderly as elijah usually does to him in emotional moments, so he looked at you eyes shining with tears and nodded at you.
‘do you understand me?’ you asked again tenderly but firmly
‘yes’ he replied weakly
‘good. I love you brother’ you told him before hugging him tightly as he reciprocated hug.
‘I’m not going to lie it’s going to be difficult. your life has changed forever but me and elijah will help you. have you noticed or not elijah became a parent since you were born, and I as soon as I got myself into your crazy family’ you reassured him
‘I’m not a child!’ he scoffed
‘but you usually act like one. Also we will use your situation as our run trial for children. See? Nothing to worry about’ you told him sincerely, in his reply he hugged you again that meaning a thousand words
‘what about elijah?’ he asked insecure, the idea of having disappointed the brother he had looked up to his entire life made his blood freeze
‘he loves you niki, we both do. Nothing could drive him away from you, especially this. And see you stand up to your responsibility will only make him love you even more. There is nothing to worry about. Trust me I know your brother better than I know myself’ you comforted him sincerely as he just nodded still hugging you
‘enough of sad stuff let’s celebrate now!’ you told him when he let you go and he chuckled at that
Way too many drinks after.
‘What do you think the levelheaded noble responsible elijah would think if he saw us right now?’
‘Don’t talk about my sweet handsome boyfriend like that niki.’ You warned him
‘He is my brother I have rights to tease him’
‘true’
‘so what would your sweet handsome boyfriend think if he saw us right now?’ he mocked you
‘see that’s better. Well I think he would be very disappointed that his underage brother and his girlfriend sneaked out in the middle of the night to drink and probably pass out here. He would scold us but deep down have a laugh because he loves us’
‘something like that sweetheart’ a calm voice said behind you two
You and klaus turned your heads toward the voice
Elijah stood in front of you, he was wearing the long coat he had worn this morning to go to work, and a simple shirt and trousers, missing the jacket and the tie of his attire. still he was elegant and perfect but not quite as always. his hair was combed but a bit messy singling he had been in a rush and although having taken the time to look decent he had not endured in his usual perfect attire. Still he looked handsome as ever.
‘eli!’ you cheered getting up and throwing yourself at him and drawing him for a kiss. he complied helping you steady yourself although his scolding look remained, he could not negate you anything
‘you are drunk my love’ he replied as the kiss ended, looking at you before helping you sit back on the stool, his arm around your waist worried you were going to fall
‘maybe a little! But don’t be mad ‘Lijha! We had our reasons’ you wine as you lean on him
He could not be angry at any of you, and you all new that. Also he found you adorable when you were tipsy even if he did not like it. you got particularly clingy and winy and that made him chuckle. He himself had never been drunk in his life, being to composed and responsible for it, hence since he could remember he has been the safe drinking friend of the family and you. you always felt safe with him knowing that he got you, and would protect you from others and from yourself.
He kissed the side of your head tenderly to let you know that it was okay, a fond smile escaping his lips before he fell back in the role of the adult
‘so this is what you two do when I’m home after a long day at work trying to finance our whole family. you two sneak out for a drunken night like some irresponsible teenager?’ he asks his eyes darting between you and his brother
‘so tell me, what was the reason for well this’ he asked his brother as you stayed silent
‘elijah you did not need to come’ klaus replied annoyed not looking at his older brother
‘you see nikalus. when I woke up in my empty bed with a note that my lovely girlfriend had gone out in the middle of the night because my favorite little brother needed help I think it’s in my duty and right to go check on the two person I care the most about’ he replied adjusting his sleeves
‘aww you hear him niki? He loves us’ you say before drawing him for another kiss and snuglling at his side that made him chuckle, as he held you close as you rested your head on his shoulder
‘little brother, care to elaborate?’ he prompted again
‘sod of elijah’ klaus says not looking at him and annoyed
‘we are going to asses you two’s poor judgment tomorrow morning, now we are going to focus on the matter that brought you two here tonight’ he said sitting on the stool close to you, in response klaus tried to drink his drink but elijah was faster taking the glasses from both klaus and your hand as the younger mikaelson let out a grown in disappointment
‘I’m going to take these, you two had enough’ eliajh says taking your drinks and drowning them, than he adjusts his sleeves before speaking again
‘so niklaus, what could not wait until morning?’ klaus remained silent as elijah waited patiently
‘my love could you fill me in as niklaus seems to have lost his tongue’ elijah tried with you giving you his best seductive smile but you remained silent too, suddenly interest in the floor as you looked at it
‘nikalus?’ he tried again
‘come on niki tell him, he will find out sooner or later’ you tried starting to become exhausted by the situation but klaus remained silent clenching his jaw in shame and fear.
‘find out what’ elijah asked panic rising in him as he stadied his voice
Elijah understood klaus was not going to speak so he tried with you again, turning to you and giving you that smile again, his hand resting on you knee
‘y/n if you tell me what is going on when we get home I’m going to do that thing you like so much’ he said seductively, his hand on your thigh as his thumb drew invisible circles on your jeans, your eyes darting to him in lust as you straightened your back very interested in his offer as heat rose in you
‘So do we have a deal?’ he added his other hand adjusting a strain of your hair. It was too much, the combination of his promise, his hands on you, the alcohol in your system and klaus silence, so you gave in. blame it to the alcohol or to your boyfriend that looked like a Greek statue, so you spoke.
‘eli we are going to be an uncle and an aunt!’ you cheered clapping your hands, the alcohol of the night starting to affect you more than you wanted to admit
‘what did you say?’ elijah asked in shock, his face loosing color as his eyes darted to his brother
‘hayley is pregnant’ klaus finally spoke still not looking at elijah
‘what? The girl from the crescent pack society? The one you woke up in her bed last month when you forgot our brunch?’ he asked, his mind connecting the dots as you took klaus hand in your own as a comforting gesture
‘yep’ klaus replied making the ‘P’ pop and fidgeting with the empty glass ‘and yes we are sure its mine and that she is pregnant’ klaus continues, elijah makes sign to the bartender that refills his glass. He drowns it.
‘brother..’ elijah replied his tone gentle and understanding even if he was at loss of word, that was something new.
‘before you ask I thought I used protections but apparently not’
‘what has the girl decided?’ elijah asks, still klaus does not look at him, you are glued to your seat as your hand draws pattern’s on klaus’s hand
‘that she is keeping it. Obviously we don’t love each others and she is not expecting us to become a couple or move together. but she wishes I would be man enough to be part of the child life and help her’
‘niklaus..’ elijah says when he is interrupted
‘don’t scold me about my duties toward that child and honor and to live up to my actions, brother. I know it very well or I wouldn’t here be getting drunk with your girlfriend while contemplating my fate’ klaus says frustrated finally looking at elijah. His expression plain like always. And every fiber of kalus body is burning hoping his brother, his savior, is not judging him or being disappointed by him. blame it on the alcohol but klaus was vulnerable in this moment.
‘I see, you don’t need a lecture from me. But still I want to ask you do you want this child brother? Either answers are in your rights’ elijah tone is tender, and klaus relaxes understanding his brother really cares and that gives him the strength to reply as he did not expect this question
‘no. yes. I don’t know. I never thought that was something I had to worry about. I always through that first mikaelson new born would be from you two or freya, not me!’ he says his head in his hands ‘you two doing the nasty since I can recall and me the causal guy get a girl pregnant, what were the odds’ he tries to humor but elijah doesn’t fall for it
‘please refrain from addressing our sexual life to avoid the question, brother, and also generally’ elijah said hiding a smile as you just laughed ‘he has a point…’ you say as elijah squints his eyes at you
‘I don’t know, after the initial panic, the idea made me smile, before panic took over again’ klaus replies sincerely
‘this believe it or not is how people describe parenthood. I know the conditions are not ideal and this is not something you expect but I’m proud of your choice brother’ elijah says standing up after being sure you can stay on the stool without falling, he moves to klaus and squeezes his brother shoulder reassuringly giving him a smile, klaus finally looks at him and in elijah’s eyes can’t find nothing but love and understanding
‘it’s the end of being with head in the clouds isn’t it’ he states
‘when it comes to you I highly doubt that but you are not alone, we are here for you as we shall be always’ elijah says hugging him, klaus complies, snuzzling his face in his brother’s shoulder as when they were kids. The unspoken statement about Mikael lingering the air
‘you will be an amazing father niklaus, trust my judgment brother’ elijah says looking at klaus in the eyes, his hand on the back of klaus neck drawing patterns with his thumb, before elijah looks at you a silent conversation going on between you two
‘you should move in back with us’ he adds as you squealed in agreement ‘We could rent a two bedroom apartment near your university so that the child is still close to their mother. A college dorm is not an ideal place to raise a child if we can avoid it’
‘no. you two love your flat’ klaus says his eyes wide, this is too much, he is grateful for the help but he already feels like a burden he doesn’t want to make things worse
‘but we love you more’ you tell him ruffling his curls as elijah hums in agreement
‘I don’t know what to say’ klaus replies his eyes watery
‘nothing. We are family’ you say ‘we stick together as one always and forever’ elijah adds
Klaus hugs elijah again, and he seem so small as when they were children as he keeps his brother close, overwhelmed with emotions
‘room for one more?’ you ask as klaus draws you in the group hug before elijah kisses the top of your head
‘wait until Rebekah finds out, she will spoil that child’ elijah humors but instead klaus face falls, he realizes that sooner or later the entire family will know
‘father..’ he starts and you hug him closer
‘father will not come near the child niklaus, you have my word. And I’m sure mother and our siblings will help us if we need so. Freya will not let her nephew or niece be without a family, even if she has to excuse her precious father’ elijah comforts klaus that just nods in agreement.
Mikael refused to pay for their maintenance, not that the two brothers would accept the money, but their mother gave them only a small allowance in secret that elijah and klaus were too proud to accept but that you took in every month and divided in their banks accounts, you all pretending it wasn’t like that.
The three of you stay like that for a bit longer before elijah speaks
‘come. I’m not letting you drive home’ elijah says, paying for the drinks and letting you all go, you have problems standing straight so elijah picks you up in his arms bridal style as you giggle and snuzzle in his chest
Klaus follows behind opening the door of the car for elijah where he places you in the backset and kisses your forehead feeling you fall asleep already. Klaus takes the passenger seat and elijah gives a fond look at you with the rear mirror as he sees you sleeping. Then he squeezes his brother’s arm one last time before starting the car and driving home.
the three of you, a 24 years old legal intern, a 22 years old college student and a just freshly tuned 20 years old artist with side jobs now had a baby to grew. The conditions were far from ideal but you all knew something. this baby would grow up to be loved by this strange little family. that was your only certainty in a world without Hope.
You are the one taken by the hollow, not elijah. How far will the family go to get you back and how it’s going to affect your relationship with him?

I rewatched season 4 a few months ago and now finally managed to finish this series. A few days ago i found the story ‘Hollowed Trap’ by the incredible talented @xxwritemeastoryxx and realised that my part 1 and 2 of the story are similar (as follow the episode and both use dialogue from the show) to their ‘Hollowed Trap’ still i would like to ankoweldge it having them published it before. They are a terrific writer and all their stories are amazing check them out.
Freya and Vincent were trying to find a solution, failing to find a spell or a dark object in which to trap the hollow.
‘you know. it’s funny how five years ago we were in the same position and you decided to sacrifice Davina. Is y/n’s life just more worth?’ Vincent accused the witch
‘y/n is my sister-in-law. Okay? And I regret what I did to Davina every single day’
‘y/n is probably the only mikaelson I can tolerate, I thought she was better then all of you, more caring, less of a killing spree, but then when it came to protect your family, guilt or no she did everything to save you not caring about the others. So she is just as rotten at the rest of you and I think we are just wasting our time trying to find a loophole when her death is inevitable’
‘whatever you think I’m not giving up. Her death will break this family, especially Klaus. And I can’t even think of what it will do to elijah’ freya stated her own grief rising
‘is it really giving up though freya? y/n is a thousand years old. How many lifetimes are going to be enough? She lived 20 times the lifespan of the people she fed on. And Elijah? They have been together 10-20 lifetimes when most of use lose who we love in a few decades’
‘I get it okay? You hate us. But that for me is not enough to let my sister-in-law die to stop some monster that has nothing to do with her’
‘you as the rest of them don’t get it! There’s no other choice, no option. You are the oldest family in the world you have seen empires rise and fall everything dies !’ he shouted
‘not y/n. not today, okay? We already lost my brother finn- Wait. I’ve find the solution!’ freya exclaimed
-.-.-.
Elijah always drank from a glass, it was a matter of composure but right now maybe for the first time in a millennium he was drinking straight from the bottle of liquor, now empty when previously was untouched.
klaus stopped at the door of elijah’s study, looking at his big brother, pain written all over his feature not only at the thought of his sister-in-law, his best friend, in danger but at the sight of his brother in pain.
elijah hears Klaus at the door frame ‘you know she is afraid of the sleeping alone in the dark?’ he says speaking about you
Klaus shakes his head entering the room
‘It reminds her still of when she was little and the night her family was killed and she was brought by mikeal in our house, little she knew at the time that it had been him’
‘when we were human and still children more than teenagers one night I couldn’t sleep and as I paced around in the tent we then called house I saw her. she was so afraid of the dark she could not sleep but father had taken away her candle, saying she was too old for a light in the dark. so I told her I would stay there with her until she fell asleep if she wanted to. You should have seen her eyes, she really thought I could protect her. after that night as of her request i would sneak in and hold her until she fell asleep, it was there i started to realize that i loved her’ he continues, giving his brother only his shoulder as he looks in the fireplace
‘you never told me this’ said Klaus, eyes watery as he steps further in the room
‘it was our secret. but that is not the point. when i asked her to marry me i promised her she would not need to spend another night fearing the dark. Because I would be there, always and forever until the end of time, I would hold her and protect her from the night. No one would get her again, not until I was there’ he says anger rising in him
‘I failed my own wedding vows, niklaus, i left her alone to give marcel that devilish dagger’ he stands up and looks at klaus starting to loose his classical calm
‘and exactly what she feared happened. she was taken in the night and now she is somewhere, a stake in her back fighting for her life’ he throws the glass that shatters colliding with the wall, Klaus flinches
Elijah voice rises still with composure although his body language is all but composed ‘I gave her my word and broke it, what kind of man am i? What kind of husband am I?’ he said voice trembling
‘brother..’ says klaus looking down, elijah’s face contorts in pain at the thought of you in pain
‘I can’t loose her Niklaus, you might think that after 1000 year it could be time, that I would be ready to let go. but it isn’t. i love her more than when we were human if that even possible, before the little innocence was taken from us. I can’t live without her, i won’t’ he says voice breaking as a tear rolls down his eye,
klaus comes nearer tears treating to fall from his eyes too, he places a reassuring hand on Elijah’s neck, looking him in the eyes ‘I assure you brother that we will bring her home, and we will make pay who tried to take her from us. from you’ he vows
Elijah hugs Klaus for a few moments trying to suppress the cry that is threatening to fall
‘come, freya has some news’ he tells him as elijah nods before exiting the room with him
As they walk, Klaus keeps his hand on Elijah’s shoulder to comfort him, when in the corridor they are met by little Hope. Hope is a child but can see clearly that both her father and uncle are completely devastated.
‘dad? Uncle Elijah?’ hope asks them
‘hope’ Elijah says trying to find his composure and give his niece a smile while Klaus says ‘sweety. I didn’t see you there’
Hope looks at them timidly ‘aunt y/n is sick, isn’t she?’, Elijah does his best to not make his face fall, while Klaus squeezes his brother shoulder before kneeling at his daughter eye level
‘aunt y/n is very sick’ he tells her honestly but tenderly
‘well can we help her?’ she asks, her eyes darting between the two men ‘we are doing everything that we can. I can promise you that’ klaus vows, his words intended also towards Elijah which is staying silent, afraid to speak
‘maybe I can help aunt freya do a spell to make her feel better?’ hope asks hopefully
‘that’s very brave of you’ Elijah tells her before klaus can speak ‘but there is no necessity honey, thank you anyhow for your sweet thought’ Elijah says trying to give her a smile, but the child is seven not stupid. She moves away from her father and stands in front of her uncle, he looks at her uncertain of her next move, but then she hugs him and he reciprocate a single tear falling down his eye
‘she will soon be better I’m sure’ hope states during the hug ‘mom says aunt y/n is the strongest person she has ever met’ Elijah smiles at that, locking eyes with Klaus that is smiling sadly at the picture in front of him
Elijah pats the child’s hair before letting her go, as he looks at her he states, his tone warm, ‘and you mum as always is quite right’
-.-..-.-.
‘Vincent said the ancestors can trap the hollow but an original must die, if y/n is going to one way or another we can take her sacrifice and I can try place her soul in a pendant’ explained freya to Klaus, elijah and hayley, herself not keen of the idea
‘what do you mean with try sister’ asked Elijah even less keen of the idea, his fingertips tapping the table
‘look it won’t be easy, we need to find her and it will need all of my magic. And y/n has been poisoned for some time. there is…. There is a chance she won’t survive the process’ freya says defeated as Hayley‘s eyes tear up.
klaus paced around the room in silence as elijah’s knuckles turned white by how much strength he was putting in holding the door, his fingers leaving a trace on the doorframe because of the pressure. He was thinking of a better solution, but he was not finding one, still the idea of risking your life was something beyond comprehension for him
‘but I would survive’ said Klaus an idea coming to his mind as elijah’s eyes widened at Klaus’s idea
‘klaus’ said freya warning him
‘you can channel my death to imprison the hollow before she kills y/n. yes I will be in the pendant and the rest of you can find her, cure her and bring her home’ he said convinced
‘niklaus, I’m not trading your life for y/n’s’ elijah said stepping from the door closer to his brother, his tone leaving no space for argument
‘this is insane’ said Hayley agreeing
‘that evil wench if not killed will come for hope’ said Klaus as the other shacked their heads
‘sacrifice me, save y/n and kill the hollow. this is the only way’ klaus said convinced to an extent that most people in the room had never seen on him, he was not thinking about it twice. The two most important people of his life, his daughter and his best friend life were at stakes and if he could save them damn the risk.
‘nikalus I can’t ask you to die even if temporary. It should be me, she is my wife and she would kick us both for even considering it’ Elijah told him, as much as he knew this plan was good he could not risk losing also his little brother, the person he raised, and which redemption was his life purpose. If someone should be sacrificed for you it should be himself. Elijah was your husband, he would die for you in heartbeat, and consider it his honor and joy. You meant to him more than life, as you were his life.
‘we don’t have time to debate this. you are not asking elijah, I’m offering. y/n is my best friend and you know how much I care for her. You go save her, she needs you. It’s going to be okay.’ Klaus told him squeezing Elijah’s shoulder
Elijah thought about it for a moment, his eyes on the floor, then he raised his gaze, his eyes watery and nodded, Klaus let out a breath he did not know he was holding and reciprocated the hug when elijah hugged him tight
‘thank you niklaus, you have my gratitude’ he said holding the younger’s neck as he spoke
‘my pleasure. And also I can’t wait to brag to y/n how I saved her from now to eternity’ said Klaus smirking ‘work your magic sister’ he replied
none of them liked the plan but it was the best they could do, he gave the pendant to freya who took it reluctantly
–.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Klaus was to be sacrificed by Vincent as marcel tricked the hollow and freya, Elijah and Hayley would save you. But then plan was not working out as the marcel failed killing the hollow as witches prevented Klaus from being sacrificed.
The two older mikaelsons and hayley arrived at the hut. They all attacked the guards of the hut killing them. Elijah rushed to you, stopping as he took in how in pain you looked. you were on the floor, eyes closed, a stake through you and visibly in pain, you could almost not move and your natural s/c skin was now a pale grey.
‘y/n!’ elijah shouted as he ran to you before being stop by an invisible barrier
‘eli..?’ you asked weakly opening your eyes and rising your head at the sound of his voice
He knelt on the floor to be the closest he could to you
‘I’m here my love, we are going to get you out. We need to break the barrier’ he told you trying to reassure you with a smile that not reached his eyes
‘you need to get out, she could come back any minute’ you tell him worrying for them. You already got your wish to see him one last time before dying, now you can’t risk that the hollow follows her promise to send him too in the afterlife
‘I’m not leaving without you’ he vows, almost offended at you for having suggested that, you know that he is not leaving space for an argument.
‘we must rush then’ you tell him as hope runs in you again, maybe you were really getting out of there
‘freya is working on it’ he reassures you
You tilted your head seeing freya chanting
‘you found me’ you chuckled trying to move closer to him as much as the barrier and the pain allowed you to
‘always’ he smiled back ‘hang on, I will take you out’ he reassures you, every fiber of his body wishing to have you in his arms, safe and well, his eyes glued on you taking in your drenched state, your pajama now bloody and ruined
‘now you understand why I hate sleeping alone’ you replied even in this state never losing an occasion to make a sassy remark, but instead his face falls plagued by guilt
‘I know. I should have never left you, please forgive me’ he begged you, never breaking eye contact from you, he fears that if he does the next time he will turn to look at you, you will be dead
‘eli it’s not your fault.’ You tell him sincerely, as pain pierced through you. You know that the guilt would eat him alive and he would believe is his fault even if it isn’t. ‘in case I don’t make It I need to tell you-’ you said realizing this could be the last chance you have to tell him how much you love him
‘no y/n. you will tell me when you are out, when you are in my embrace again. And this time I will never let you go again. Okay? You need to stop talking and save your strength, my love, please’ he begs you shaking his head not even wanting to hear what you believe to be your dying confession
You nod at him knowing arguing would only cuase him pain
‘where is niki?’ you ask realizing Klaus was not with them. Elijah waited a second considering if to tell you the truth. But he knew you would disapprove the plan. You treated Klaus as your son more than as your best friend, knowing that if you knew that Klaus was getting sacrificed for you you would kill them all yourself.
‘Nicklaus is working on the plan as we speak. don’t worry he is safe. i beg you just hold on’ he lied to you to not worry you, even in this state you worried about the family more than yourself. Elijah never lied to you, but this time he did it to protect you, and in this state as you struggled to keep your eyes open not wanting to look away from him as every second could be the last time you see him you did not detect the lie in his voice.
You let out a cry of pain. it was killing Elijah to see you like this. He felt helpless. He never felt so helpless, so human, seeing the person he loved the most in pain, a heartbeat away from death and not being able to do anything. He could do nothing apart from looking at you, he could not even touch you, comfort you. He just wanted to rush you out of this place or if he couldn’t to at least take your place and be the one to suffer instead. Anything to have you safe.
Freya continued chanting as Hayley guarded the door
‘grab the cure. The barrier is almost done’ said freya to her brother, Elijah nodded reaching for it
Then freya stopped chanting for no apparent reason.
‘freya? What is wrong?’ asked Hayley as Elijah was too busy not being able to tear his eyes from you, the cure ready to be used
Suddenly a wind appeared, knocking the cure out of elijah’s hand and crushing it to the floor ‘no!’ he shouted as he and Hayley rushed towards it.
The hollow entered the hut throwing freya, hayley and elijah towards the wall
The plan was that Klaus would temporary die so the hollow can be sent back in hell while marcel killed her, meanwhile elijah and freya and Hayley would get to you, free you and cure you. But the plan had failed and so Klaus was rushing to you to place your soul in the pendant. It was the only chance for you to survive, as in the weak state you were you could die in the process of getting in the pendant.
Panic went through you, even in that state you worried about elijah, your eyes searching for him in the room as you cried out, you yourself didn’t know if for the pain or worry.
In that moment Klaus entered the door saving Hayley from the hollow, Elijah’s face turned white at the sight of his brother, which presence meant the plain had failed.
‘what happened?’ Elijah asked his brother in worry
‘she knew we were coming’
‘freya!’ he shouted looking at you as you were are your limit as the hollow drained you the grey vein starting to form on your face as your heartbeat slew down. Panic was written all over elijah’s face, a panic you had never seen before, while your face showed only of sorrow and defeat
‘we have no choice. Get y/n into the pendant’ said klaus giving the pendant to freya as he looked at you his heart breaking at the sight
‘sister please!’ shouted Elijah. ‘y/n we are getting you in the pendant hold on ‘ He tried to push past the barrier, punching it with every bit of force he had as he shouted in frustration as the hollow chanted and you struggled to breath, contorting in pain.
‘she is too week’ noted freya
In the last moments of lucidity you turned towards Elijah
‘eli. it’s okay.’ you said knowing this was your end, you give him a smile as he stopped punching the barrier to look at you
‘hurry she is killing her!’ shouted Elijah, freya nodded and grabbed the pendant working her magic
‘y/n, please my love hang on a bit mote, don’t let go, please’ he pleaded you with teary eyes
You wanted to, and you would fight until you could, but the hollow was piercing through you.
‘I can fell y/n but the hollow’s magic is blocking me!’ freya said
‘freya!’ Klaus shouted in pain hurrying his sister to hurry, as he looked at you worry eating him alive, he knew you were moments away from slipping away permanently and he had never been so terrified in his life
‘I love you’ you managed to say looking straight into elijah’s eyes before the last strain of pain pierced through you as you let out a scream ‘no y/n stay awake, I beg you’ he shouted
‘it’s too strong!’ freya cried
At the same time Klaus prompted freya to move as Elijah called your name trying to get your attention
‘elijah!’ you let out a last scream extending your hand trying to reach for him as he banged his fists against the invisible barrier trying to reach you, that is when you turned completely of a dark grey, your head falling down on the floor, your hand with you wedding ring still trying to reach him. he looked at you as your eyes bearing usually a fire became lifeless
‘y/n!’ he screamed, his voice breaking as the barrier fell and the hollow disappeared, the ritual was complete
He didn’t even notice the hollow disappear, everyone falling with the force that the sacrifice had unleashed. He rushed to your side removing the stake from your back taking you in his embrace. The familiar heartbeat he could recognize in a million, the one he was so used to hear next to his, the one he fell asleep next to and woke up to, the one he could recognize even the smallest change, was now gone. In silence he traced your features realization not hitting him, he was still in shock as he looked into your lifeless eyes.
Hayley and Klaus rushed to your side, Klaus touched your arm feeling your skin cold he widened his eyes in horror not able to speak, ‘did it work?’ he managed to ask
everyone turned to look at freya, prompting Elijah to finally speak as hope still pervaded him ‘where is the pendant’ he asked but his sister opened her hand, showing pendant broken as a tear rolled down her eye. elijah shook his head looking at it and then at you
‘no it can’t be’ he said shaking his head and holding your corpse more tightly against himself , his eyes filling with tears as he let out a scream, a scream so inhuman that everyone filched never having heard such despair
‘there has to be a way. She can’t be gone’ he pleaded resting his head against yours as he caressed your cheek as he sobbed
Klaus kneeled down looking at you a tear down his eye ‘elijah listen to me. we will fix the pendant. This is not her end’ he said not knowing himself if it was to convince himself or his brother. Elijah remained silent
‘brother, please, let us bring her home and we will save her’ said Klaus trying to help him up and move you
‘don’t touch her!’ shouted Elijah. klaus took a step back immediately. Hurt in his eyes. He was only trying to help but he knew that his older brother in this state could not understand it. He now saw everyone as a threat to take you away from him.
‘brother, to find a solution we need to go home. please’ klaus pleaded Elijah, as more tears fell down his cheek
Elijah traced your features, a million thoughts of anger pain and loss and memory passing through his mind. He could do nothing now, he was empty in the inside. The moment you had shouted his name in pain he had died with you. Therefore he nodded and stood up keeping your firmly in his embrace bridal style, he did not leave you for a second not tearing his eye away from you lifeless face as he brought you to the car, and then as he brought you home. the rest of the family not dared to speak following you as all of them shed silent tears.
rewriting of season 4 episodes 9-11. in this is you who gets taken by the hollow not him. does not follow completely the same the episodes. includes also your platonic relationship with the others and flashbacks of new scenes of you and elijah in the centuries. first two parts follow the show closely.
elijah deals with you being kidnapped. the family and elijah come rescue you
genre: angst and fluff (flashbacks) with happy ending
Notes:
The first two parts are mostly rewrite of the episode featuring you and I added some scenes. the rest is my interpretation of what the storyline could be with you, featuring again heavy canon rewritten but mostly made up scenes
Warning: temporary character de4th but with happy ending, canon violence/threats, grief, lots of angst, fluff, main character death and resurrection
Sorry for the grammatical errors. I’m new at writing so feedback is appreciated. Thank you for reading. do not translate or appropriate my work
I rewatched season 4 a few months ago and now finally managed to finish this series. A few days ago i found the story ‘Hollowed Trap’ by the incredible talented @xxwritemeastoryxx and realised that my part 1 and 2 of the story are similar (as follow the episode and both use dialogue from the show) to their ‘Hollowed Trap’ still i would like to ankoweldge it having them published it before. They are a terrific writer and all their stories are amazing check them out.
Freya and Vincent were trying to find a solution, failing to find a spell or a dark object in which to trap the hollow.
‘you know. it’s funny how five years ago we were in the same position and you decided to sacrifice Davina. Is y/n’s life just more worth?’ Vincent accused the witch
‘y/n is my sister-in-law. Okay? And I regret what I did to Davina every single day’
‘y/n is probably the only mikaelson I can tolerate, I thought she was better then all of you, more caring, less of a killing spree, but then when it came to protect your family, guilt or no she did everything to save you not caring about the others. So she is just as rotten at the rest of you and I think we are just wasting our time trying to find a loophole when her death is inevitable’
‘whatever you think I’m not giving up. Her death will break this family, especially Klaus. And I can’t even think of what it will do to elijah’ freya stated her own grief rising
‘is it really giving up though freya? y/n is a thousand years old. How many lifetimes are going to be enough? She lived 20 times the lifespan of the people she fed on. And Elijah? They have been together 10-20 lifetimes when most of use lose who we love in a few decades’
‘I get it okay? You hate us. But that for me is not enough to let my sister-in-law die to stop some monster that has nothing to do with her’
‘you as the rest of them don’t get it! There’s no other choice, no option. You are the oldest family in the world you have seen empires rise and fall everything dies !’ he shouted
‘not y/n. not today, okay? We already lost my brother finn- Wait. I’ve find the solution!’ freya exclaimed
-.-.-.
Elijah always drank from a glass, it was a matter of composure but right now maybe for the first time in a millennium he was drinking straight from the bottle of liquor, now empty when previously was untouched.
klaus stopped at the door of elijah’s study, looking at his big brother, pain written all over his feature not only at the thought of his sister-in-law, his best friend, in danger but at the sight of his brother in pain.
elijah hears Klaus at the door frame ‘you know she is afraid of the sleeping alone in the dark?’ he says speaking about you
Klaus shakes his head entering the room
‘It reminds her still of when she was little and the night her family was killed and she was brought by mikeal in our house, little she knew at the time that it had been him’
‘when we were human and still children more than teenagers one night I couldn’t sleep and as I paced around in the tent we then called house I saw her. she was so afraid of the dark she could not sleep but father had taken away her candle, saying she was too old for a light in the dark. so I told her I would stay there with her until she fell asleep if she wanted to. You should have seen her eyes, she really thought I could protect her. after that night as of her request i would sneak in and hold her until she fell asleep, it was there i started to realize that i loved her’ he continues, giving his brother only his shoulder as he looks in the fireplace
‘you never told me this’ said Klaus, eyes watery as he steps further in the room
‘it was our secret. but that is not the point. when i asked her to marry me i promised her she would not need to spend another night fearing the dark. Because I would be there, always and forever until the end of time, I would hold her and protect her from the night. No one would get her again, not until I was there’ he says anger rising in him
‘I failed my own wedding vows, niklaus, i left her alone to give marcel that devilish dagger’ he stands up and looks at klaus starting to loose his classical calm
‘and exactly what she feared happened. she was taken in the night and now she is somewhere, a stake in her back fighting for her life’ he throws the glass that shatters colliding with the wall, Klaus flinches
Elijah voice rises still with composure although his body language is all but composed ‘I gave her my word and broke it, what kind of man am i? What kind of husband am I?’ he said voice trembling
‘brother..’ says klaus looking down, elijah’s face contorts in pain at the thought of you in pain
‘I can’t loose her Niklaus, you might think that after 1000 year it could be time, that I would be ready to let go. but it isn’t. i love her more than when we were human if that even possible, before the little innocence was taken from us. I can’t live without her, i won’t’ he says voice breaking as a tear rolls down his eye,
klaus comes nearer tears treating to fall from his eyes too, he places a reassuring hand on Elijah’s neck, looking him in the eyes ‘I assure you brother that we will bring her home, and we will make pay who tried to take her from us. from you’ he vows
Elijah hugs Klaus for a few moments trying to suppress the cry that is threatening to fall
‘come, freya has some news’ he tells him as elijah nods before exiting the room with him
As they walk, Klaus keeps his hand on Elijah’s shoulder to comfort him, when in the corridor they are met by little Hope. Hope is a child but can see clearly that both her father and uncle are completely devastated.
‘dad? Uncle Elijah?’ hope asks them
‘hope’ Elijah says trying to find his composure and give his niece a smile while Klaus says ‘sweety. I didn’t see you there’
Hope looks at them timidly ‘aunt y/n is sick, isn’t she?’, Elijah does his best to not make his face fall, while Klaus squeezes his brother shoulder before kneeling at his daughter eye level
‘aunt y/n is very sick’ he tells her honestly but tenderly
‘well can we help her?’ she asks, her eyes darting between the two men ‘we are doing everything that we can. I can promise you that’ klaus vows, his words intended also towards Elijah which is staying silent, afraid to speak
‘maybe I can help aunt freya do a spell to make her feel better?’ hope asks hopefully
‘that’s very brave of you’ Elijah tells her before klaus can speak ‘but there is no necessity honey, thank you anyhow for your sweet thought’ Elijah says trying to give her a smile, but the child is seven not stupid. She moves away from her father and stands in front of her uncle, he looks at her uncertain of her next move, but then she hugs him and he reciprocate a single tear falling down his eye
‘she will soon be better I’m sure’ hope states during the hug ‘mom says aunt y/n is the strongest person she has ever met’ Elijah smiles at that, locking eyes with Klaus that is smiling sadly at the picture in front of him
Elijah pats the child’s hair before letting her go, as he looks at her he states, his tone warm, ‘and you mum as always is quite right’
-.-..-.-.
‘Vincent said the ancestors can trap the hollow but an original must die, if y/n is going to one way or another we can take her sacrifice and I can try place her soul in a pendant’ explained freya to Klaus, elijah and hayley, herself not keen of the idea
‘what do you mean with try sister’ asked Elijah even less keen of the idea, his fingertips tapping the table
‘look it won’t be easy, we need to find her and it will need all of my magic. And y/n has been poisoned for some time. there is…. There is a chance she won’t survive the process’ freya says defeated as Hayley‘s eyes tear up.
klaus paced around the room in silence as elijah’s knuckles turned white by how much strength he was putting in holding the door, his fingers leaving a trace on the doorframe because of the pressure. He was thinking of a better solution, but he was not finding one, still the idea of risking your life was something beyond comprehension for him
‘but I would survive’ said Klaus an idea coming to his mind as elijah’s eyes widened at Klaus’s idea
‘klaus’ said freya warning him
‘you can channel my death to imprison the hollow before she kills y/n. yes I will be in the pendant and the rest of you can find her, cure her and bring her home’ he said convinced
‘niklaus, I’m not trading your life for y/n’s’ elijah said stepping from the door closer to his brother, his tone leaving no space for argument
‘this is insane’ said Hayley agreeing
‘that evil wench if not killed will come for hope’ said Klaus as the other shacked their heads
‘sacrifice me, save y/n and kill the hollow. this is the only way’ klaus said convinced to an extent that most people in the room had never seen on him, he was not thinking about it twice. The two most important people of his life, his daughter and his best friend life were at stakes and if he could save them damn the risk.
‘nikalus I can’t ask you to die even if temporary. It should be me, she is my wife and she would kick us both for even considering it’ Elijah told him, as much as he knew this plan was good he could not risk losing also his little brother, the person he raised, and which redemption was his life purpose. If someone should be sacrificed for you it should be himself. Elijah was your husband, he would die for you in heartbeat, and consider it his honor and joy. You meant to him more than life, as you were his life.
‘we don’t have time to debate this. you are not asking elijah, I’m offering. y/n is my best friend and you know how much I care for her. You go save her, she needs you. It’s going to be okay.’ Klaus told him squeezing Elijah’s shoulder
Elijah thought about it for a moment, his eyes on the floor, then he raised his gaze, his eyes watery and nodded, Klaus let out a breath he did not know he was holding and reciprocated the hug when elijah hugged him tight
‘thank you niklaus, you have my gratitude’ he said holding the younger’s neck as he spoke
‘my pleasure. And also I can’t wait to brag to y/n how I saved her from now to eternity’ said Klaus smirking ‘work your magic sister’ he replied
none of them liked the plan but it was the best they could do, he gave the pendant to freya who took it reluctantly
–.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Klaus was to be sacrificed by Vincent as marcel tricked the hollow and freya, Elijah and Hayley would save you. But then plan was not working out as the marcel failed killing the hollow as witches prevented Klaus from being sacrificed.
The two older mikaelsons and hayley arrived at the hut. They all attacked the guards of the hut killing them. Elijah rushed to you, stopping as he took in how in pain you looked. you were on the floor, eyes closed, a stake through you and visibly in pain, you could almost not move and your natural s/c skin was now a pale grey.
‘y/n!’ elijah shouted as he ran to you before being stop by an invisible barrier
‘eli..?’ you asked weakly opening your eyes and rising your head at the sound of his voice
He knelt on the floor to be the closest he could to you
‘I’m here my love, we are going to get you out. We need to break the barrier’ he told you trying to reassure you with a smile that not reached his eyes
‘you need to get out, she could come back any minute’ you tell him worrying for them. You already got your wish to see him one last time before dying, now you can’t risk that the hollow follows her promise to send him too in the afterlife
‘I’m not leaving without you’ he vows, almost offended at you for having suggested that, you know that he is not leaving space for an argument.
‘we must rush then’ you tell him as hope runs in you again, maybe you were really getting out of there
‘freya is working on it’ he reassures you
You tilted your head seeing freya chanting
‘you found me’ you chuckled trying to move closer to him as much as the barrier and the pain allowed you to
‘always’ he smiled back ‘hang on, I will take you out’ he reassures you, every fiber of his body wishing to have you in his arms, safe and well, his eyes glued on you taking in your drenched state, your pajama now bloody and ruined
‘now you understand why I hate sleeping alone’ you replied even in this state never losing an occasion to make a sassy remark, but instead his face falls plagued by guilt
‘I know. I should have never left you, please forgive me’ he begged you, never breaking eye contact from you, he fears that if he does the next time he will turn to look at you, you will be dead

You know that the guilt would eat him alive and he would believe is his fault even if it isn’t. ‘in case I don’t make It I need to tell you-’ you said realizing this could be the last chance you have to tell him how much you love him
‘no y/n. you will tell me when you are out, when you are in my embrace again. And this time I will never let you go again. Okay? You need to stop talking and save your strength, my love, please’ he begs you shaking his head not even wanting to hear what you believe to be your dying confession
You nod at him knowing arguing would only cuase him pain
‘where is niki?’ you ask realizing Klaus was not with them. Elijah waited a second considering if to tell you the truth. But he knew you would disapprove the plan. You treated Klaus as your son more than as your best friend, knowing that if you knew that Klaus was getting sacrificed for you you would kill them all yourself.
‘Nicklaus is working on the plan as we speak. don’t worry he is safe. i beg you just hold on’ he lied to you to not worry you, even in this state you worried about the family more than yourself. Elijah never lied to you, but this time he did it to protect you, and in this state as you struggled to keep your eyes open not wanting to look away from him as every second could be the last time you see him you did not detect the lie in his voice.

Pairings: Elijah Mikaelson x Reader Warnings: None, all fluff. :) A/N: This is so fluffy, I swooned so many times while writing this.
You pulled the door open, a little too much excitement in your motions as it practically came swinging open. You flushed, a small wave of embarrassment washing over you as you chuckled lightly, “Elijah! Sorry. I guess I got carried away.”
‘it’s all ready for the ritual’ you cheerfully say opening the door to see Klaus seated on a chair with Elijah standing behind him. elijah’s hand is resting on his brother shoulder as he is looking with a fond expression behind klaus’s shoulder at one of the fake moon and sun curses artifacts Klaus drew, the roman one, one of your favorites.
The two men turn towards you smiling. ‘sister’ Klaus greets you, he is smiling. You understand that he is in a good mood by the way he is smiling at you and Elijah and not looking at the girl you noticed next to the fireplace as if she is his next meal.
‘my love’ Elijah says, moving towards you and helping you out of your coat. then you turn and briefly kiss him as he smiles against your lips, as you curl your fingers in his wavy long hair as you keep him close ‘I missed you today’
‘me too’ he replies
You smile at him as you let him go. elijah takes his place again to stand behind Klaus’s chair, as you bend down and ruffle Klaus’s golden curls before kissing his forehead as he smiles.
‘finally I’m not going to be the only hybrid of the family’ you say as you sit next to Klaus on the chair Elijah prepared for you before raising your legs and resting them on Klaus’s knees, as you relax by laying back on the chair.
‘500 years, can you believe it? And I’m finally going to be free’ Klaus contemplates
‘finally brother’ Elijah smiles at him sqeezing his shoulder as you say ‘you deserve it niki’ squeezing his arm
You all smile contemplating that Klaus will finally unlock the hybrid curse, after a moment of silence Elijah asks you ‘a bit of wine my love?’
‘yes, please eli’ you reply looking up at him, Elijah pours some in a glass and handles it to you.
You thank him, take a sip and let out a content sigh
‘what were you boys talking about? ’ you ask them ‘niki let me see the stroll’ you say grabbing carefully the stroll from Klaus and looking at them
‘I was telling Elijah that I was quite proud of the African tribal carvings’ Klaus explains proudly
‘and I, that his finest work are the Aztec drawing. Who can resist a shaman’ Elijah adds
You hum but say nothing as your gently pass your hand over the stroll
‘y/n what do you think was my finest work?’ Klaus asks you, his eyes shining
‘I particularly loved the roman ones’ you reply smiling at him ‘but I agree the Aztec was the best’ you finally declare giving it back to Klaus
Elijah chuckles at your admission while klaus rolls his eyes
‘there is no point. You always agree with Elijah’ he notes faking to be offended
‘ Well niklaus he has impeccable taste, he did choose me’ you reply proudly as Klaus lets out a chuckle
‘touchè’ Elijah adds, he then bends downs and kisses you, his hand tilting your chin up as you deepen the kiss as you melt in him
‘well it’s quite late isn’t it?’ you say breaking for air.
Elijah takes the prompt immediately ‘it quite is’
‘If you’ll excuse us niklaus’ he says, trying his best to putting on an emotionless face and giving you a hand to help you stand up
‘Yah yah have fun.’ Klaus laughs knowingly not falling for elijah’s expression, Elijah kisses your hand leading you to the door
‘Don’t exhaust her Elijah! I need her in full strength for the spell tomorrow!’ he shouts as you two exit the room. Elijah looks at him sternly as you giggle, before Elijah turns again towards you his eyes shining with love and lust‘I make no promises niklaus’
The door closes behind you and Elijah, your giggles can be heard from the corridor as you make elijah chase you down the corridor to your shared bedroom as he cages you against the door as you kiss him eagerly before slipping in your bedchambers and closing the door. Meanwhile Klaus in his room smiles at himself and puts the down roman stroll before he looks hungrily at the girl that you had noticed in the room before entering .
Summary:- y/n is drunk and Klaus and Elijah take care of her. It’s just so much fluff! ☁️
Today y/n and her girl gang were meeting after so long. It’s been years since all of her friends were meeting and having a great time. All of her friends organized a party and it was a blast. Favourite party music and alcohol and all ur dearest friends. What a night!
Y/n came home at midnight after the party. She made her way in the house. All drunk ! There she saw Klaus sitting on the couch. Elijah was not home. He informed y/n that he was coming home late tonight as she was also out with her friends.
Klaus heard y/n footsteps and turned around to look at y/n. He saw how she was barely standing and how drunk she looked.
“Hey y/n. I think u need help” Klaus said and made u sit on the sofa.
As soon as he made y/n sit on the sofa Klaus called Elijah.
“hello brother, the love of ur life has come home and i think she needs ur help. Be home , quick!” Klaus told to Elijah and looked at y/n who was sitting on the couch eyes closed.
“What exactly are you drunk on love” Klaus questions seeing you and laughing at y/n.
“I am drunk on love nik, love!” Y/n says and both of them laugh.
Suddenly y/n remembered Rebekah.
“Rebekah Rebekah where are you Rebekah” y/n started shouting and Klaus sat next to her.
“love Rebekah is out of town for a few days she will be back soon” Klaus says to y/n and makes y/n sit again when she tries to go find Rebekah.
Suddenly now y/n remembered Elijah. Y/n started shouting elijah’s name and again Klaus told her that he will be home any minute.
“You know nik, i love ur brother Elijah. What a man! He makes me feel like nobody else. I love him so much. Ever looked into his eyes? Oh boy u need a map to get out of those eyes.” Y/n kept talking about how she loved Elijah so much and Klaus kept listening to her.
Elijah came home and heard her talking about him while walking into the living room where y/n and Klaus were currently sitting.
Y/n saw Elijah and ran towards him almost tripping on every step but Elijah caught her and y/n hugged him tight, Kissing his forehead, cheeks , lips. Elijah also kissed her back and he noticed Klaus standing there watching you both.
“Ah finally you are home now i am gonna get a drink. Now u handle her” Klaus said to Elijah before disappearing around the corner.
Elijah picked y/n up and speeded both of them to their shared bedroom. He made y/n sit on the bed. He tried to help y/n to change her into comfy clothes but she refused to co-operate with the original.
“Come on darling. Let me change ur clothes then u can go to bed. U look sleepy baby” Elijah tried to make her co-operate but y/n was simply not in the mood.
Y/n got up from the bed stood in front of her boyfriend and said “come on Elijah. You think u are a strong vampire, an orignal, come on fight me. Let’s see. Come on.” She tried to challenge the vampire
Elijah raised a brow at her and y/n stared punching elijah’s shoulder and chest. The vampire didn’t even move an inch. Y/n tried punching elijah’s shoulder again but this time he caught her wrist.
“Don’t challenge an orignal babydoll” Elijah said and also “As a devout feminist i refuse to say u hit like a girl” he said and y/n just sat back on the bed.
This time y/n let’s Elijah change her into comfy clothes. Elijah makes y/n lay in bed and pulls the duvet over her.
Y/n grabs elijah’s hand and says “You love me right Elijah? Even when I am drunk?”
“I love you always babydoll , even when u are drunk” Elijah says kissing her and smiling at y/n
“Okay” is all y/n says and gives Elijah a smile.
Elijah comes and lays besides y/n pulling her impossibly close cuddling her and kissing her.
Elijah finally sees his babygirl asleep and he kisses her and says “goodnight” and sleeps with her.
