I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
It was a beautiful day in England on the Mikaelson estate, as Katerina Petrova stopped playing chase, when Elijah did.
"You're meant to catch me," she said with a laugh
"Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over."
He smiled.
She sat on a bench, and he sat next to her.
"True love is not real, unless it is returned. Do you agree?" she asked him.
"I do not believe in love, Katerina," he lied, not wanting to get close to her, knowing her death would break a part of him if he allowed himself to care.
"That is too sad for me to accept, my Lord. Life is too cruel. If we cease to believe in love, then why would we want to live?" she replied.
*American Gothic-Night*
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever, and ever
It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson house in Mystic Falls, as Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other. He'd just told her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans, though he hated leaving her after being there for her for 500 years.
"Please, Elijah. It's our turn," she begged.
"Katerina," was all he could say. He kissed her on the forehead. "Goodbye, Katerina."
Before she knew it, he was gone.
*American Gothic-Day*
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah!
It was a beautiful day in Pennsylvania, as they stood in front of each other under a gazebo.
"Katerina," he greeted with a smile. "I've missed you."
She smiled.
"As have I."
They kissed passionately. It had been a while since they'd been able to do this, much less be alone without Klaus' intervention. They wished they could stay like this, but they were in two different worlds. He had loyalty to his family. He felt that he had to sacrifice happiness to be the big brother. She couldn't fully be in his life because of Klaus. He'd wanted her dead for 500 years. This was for her safety, whether they liked it or not.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
And I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing
It was a beautiful day at the boarding house, as Elijah sat on her bedside. Whether he wanted to or not, it was time to say goodbye and give her peace.
"Close your eyes, Katerina."
"But I want to see you," she said.
"You will," he promised.
She closed her eyes and he did too, going inside her head to give her peace.
