The Vampire Diaries Imagines 2

Imagine Elijah telling you he's in love with you at the Mikaelson ball after hiding it since you met

   Jealousy. Eager behaviour. Overthinking. Seeking for attention. Smiling, blushing, shaking.

   Elijah loosened his collar as he felt uncomfortable reading common signs of having a crush on someone, feeling more and more convinced that he had fallen in love with you. He swallowed thickly, and continued to scroll down to read more symptoms as he considered them, licking his dry lips swiftly while imagining your beautiful smile in his head, which led into him breaking into a smile of his own.

   It had been a long, long while since he fell in love, and after a year of admiring you, he started to evaluate his feelings for you. And, now that times had changed and he could search all kinds of things up on the internet, the first thing he did, was google signs of having a crush. And the more he read them, the more he started to feel like he did indeed love you, more than as a friend.

   "Has the cupid targeted our dear Elijah?", Klaus's voice startled the eldest of the two, and Elijah quickly shut the laptop to stop Klaus from reading what he had searched up. The Original vampire scoffed, trying to play it cool, but he grew uncomfortable and nervous and Klaus could only laugh while crossing his arms and lifting an eyebrow at his brother. "Who is it?", Klaus continued, teasing Elijah with a smirk, before listing names to guess which of the Mystic Falls girls he had fallen for.

   "Christ, Niklaus. Please, control yourself", Elijah sighed, and rose from the chair, leaving behind the laptop he had been sitting at for the past hour or so. Fastening the buttons of his jacket, the fancier brother started to make his way out of the living room, but Klaus followed, and continued to guess names, and once he softly, smoothly pronounced your name, Elijah froze for only a split second. But it was enough.

   "Dear god, it's Y/N Y/L/N! You are in love with Y/N!", Klaus shouted, and began snickering like a little girl as Elijah turned to glare at his half-brother threateningly. Giggling and repeating your name, Klaus started to run around the mansion, which made Elijah rather irritated but he wasn't going to fall so low to chase the younger Original - at least not initially. But it led to that, anyway.

   If only Rebekah was there to see it.

   When they had finally settled their fight and calmed down, Klaus made it his mission to help his brother win the girl to himself. Klaus quite liked you, and in his opinion, you were perfect for Elijah, so together, they started to plan a way to make you fall for him - although that had already happened, but they didn't know, if anything, Elijah thought you'd never fall for him just because dating an Original and a vampire in general, was definitely problematic.

   "I plan on inviting Caroline to the ball we are having in a couple of days. I suggest you invite your darling Y/N", Klaus grinned, and left the room to let Elijah think about it, but he already knew what he'd do. He was going to do as Klaus advised, and invite you to the Mikaelson ball, where he would eventually confess his feelings to you, and perhaps, hopefully, you'd admit you felt the same way and the night would end with a big kiss.

   Three days before the ball you had heard of from Caroline, who had been invited by Klaus, you found a mysterious box on your porch. You took it in, and placed it in your bed, where it had been sitting for the past two hours, and you had been trying to do your homework but it was hard when the gift resided behind your back, waiting to be opened. A part of you was scared of lifting the lid, but inevitably you'd have to do it at some point, but you tried to push it further and further, although it was hard. Eventually, curiousity got the best of you, and you opened the gift, only to see the most beautiful dress ever, and on top of it, a letter.
