A/N: So. I decided to be awesome and post another Eclare story, yes story! This is going to be a three-shot, nothing more, so nya! Anyway, I had a random epiphany and wondered why exactly I didn't post this story. I had it in my files typed up and spell checked and everything, but never posted it because I thought people wouldn't like it :/ But, you guys seem to like my stories -small smile- so I thought I'd give it a shot and post it! This story is inspired by the song Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore, a really amazing song by them in my opinion ^_^. Anyway, I love reviews, so don't forget to review when you finish reading! I need all your feedback!

Enjoy!

Rated M for a reason!

Fairy Tales

Summary: We all want so badly to live with our heads in the clouds, but there's always something that will cause us to come crashing back down, and force us to "bury the castle". Clare wanted a fairy tale ending, and Eli gave it to her.

Keep your feet on the ground...

When your head's in the clouds...

Chapter 1

"Eli!"

She squeaked as he grabbed and squeezed her sides.

"Eli stop!"

Clare kicked her feet and squirmed around.

"Eli! E-Eli stop!"

Eli squeezed her sides harder, watching her face turn red as she laughed hard.

"Ha ha! Ha ha stop!"

She plead, but he continued to torture her in a tickling game.

"Okay! Okay Eli you win! Please, stop!" Clare cried, trying to regain her breathing.

Eli let her go and watched her chest heave up and down. Her breathing soon calmed down and she was wiping the tears away with her thumb. Clare sighed and she sat up on Eli's bed. She said, "Thanks for letting me come over Eli."

"Well I couldn't just say no to you." Eli said. Clare smiled and it soon faded.

"Clare what's wrong?" He asked, scooting closer to her. Clare said, "I kind of um, didn't tell my parents that I was coming over." Eli blinked a few times. He said, "Why not?" Eli watched Clare as she bit her bottom lip nervously.

"They were fighting again..."

Eli sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her. He said, "I'm sorry Clare." She shrugged her shoulders saying, "It's not your fault." Eli sighed a little. He didn't like to see Clare upset. He hugged her tighter and Clare leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'm fine Eli. I'm just...I don't want to go home, I'm afraid they're still fighting." Clare said honestly.

"I know Clare." Eli said softly.

Clare smiled at Eli. He was always such a good listener. She kissed his cheek and interlaced her fingers with his. Eli kissed her temple and leaned his head against hers.

"Do you want to do something tonight? We can go out to the park if you want." Eli said. Clare smiled softly. She loved how soft Eli could be when he wanted to. Clare slid off of Eli's bed and stood next to it. She said, "Well, you coming?" Eli smirked. He got off the bed, grabbed his jacket, and followed Clare out the front door.

"Let's walk." Clare said.

"It's a long walk." Eli responded.

"It feels good out, let's walk." She said again.

"Fine." Eli wrapped his arm around her shoulders and Clare did the same around his waist.

They walked a few blocks, and they soon reached the park, which was filled with small kids and parents sitting and watching them as they played in the playground. Clare walked to a swing and sat down in it. Eli stood behind Clare and he softly pushed her. Clare smiled a little.

"Eli."

"Hm?"

"Do you believe in fairy tales, like romance fairy tales?" Clare asked him.

Eli blinked a few times, trying to find out a way how to answer that.

"Um. It actually depends on how I see it really." Eli responded finally.

"What do you mean?" Clare asked as her hands gripped the chains of the swing.

"Clare... We all want so badly to live with our heads in the clouds, but there's always something that will cause us to come crashing back down, and force us to 'bury the castle'." Eli responded. Clare looked back at Eli, knowing that he is right.

That was a really great...quote?

"Did you get that from somewhere?" She laughed.

"Nope, I just thought of it." Eli said in return.

There was a short pause.

"Well...can you give me a fairy tale romance?" Clare asked.

"If you want one Clare. I'll give you one." Eli stopped the swing, and looked at her. Clare's blue eyes sparkled, and she smiled as well. Eli smirked and he kissed her lips. Clare pulled away and he kissed her chastely. He continued to push her softly on the swing. She looked up at the sky, and watched the clouds move slowly.

'As much as I don't want to believe it...but my head is always going to stay in the clouds.' Clare thought.

End of Chapter 1

I know that chapter was short, but it was cute right? The next chapter will be longer, and it will make a little bit more sense, because I know this chapter didn't make much sense. There will be more details ^_^ So, don't forget to review! I need all your feedback, and if you want the next chapter!

In other words...

See you soon!
