Just some random drabble. No idea where it came from. I wrote this before they found the cure and they don't know that it only works once. Oh, and Kol is alive.
Reviews are appreciated :)
First it was Stefan, of course. That was expected. He thought that when the cure didn't work that Elena might want to work things out. But he now associated him with death and destruction, and she couldn't shake the feeling that he didn't truly accept her. Accept the fact that she was a vampire. He told her he would do whatever it took, he would even look past the fact that she had slept with his brother. But she said no. She told him he deserved happiness elsewhere, and he left without another word. After Stefan left, Elena went back to him. She had sent him out of the room for the duration of Stefan's visit. He was glad to hear that he had gone.
Then Elijah came. He only hinted at a romance. He was more interested in a lifelong companion. He was tired of being alone, and Elena's similar morals proved her to be a very good candidate. She politely declined, but promised to keep in touch with him over the years. Elijah gave her a friendly hug and a kiss on the forehead before leaving. When she went to him, as he had been sent out of the room again, he grumbled slightly at the close contact that Elena and the eldest Original had shared, but was satisfied nonetheless.
Next was Kol. Once he and Elena were alone, he set his seductive gaze on her and promised...physical happiness. Disgusted, Elena retreated, only to be stopped by Kol pulling her to him by the waist. Caressing her cheek, he pleaded with her, trying to persuade her to say yes. His stay was very short. She said no. He was less than satisfied when he asked what Kol did to get her so shaken up.
The most surprising was Klaus. He came in the dead of the night, nearly getting his heart ripped out in the process. Drawn to her beauty and similarity to the original doppleganger, he pleaded with her. Saying he didn't deserve to be forgiven for all the pain and sorrow he had caused her and her loved ones. But he couldn't help himself with her. The Petrova fire was too endearing to him, and her selfless tendencies strangely made him want to protect her, even though he knew she could take care of herself. He promised to show her the world. He promised to earn her forgiveness, even if it took forever. Klaus was there the longest. A strange connection had brought them closer to one another on the couch. Elena forgave him then, and sent him on his way, but not before Klaus leaned forward and softly pressed his lips to Elena's. After a beat, Elena returned the kiss, for Klaus's sake. He deepened it, gently putting his hands on either side of her face. After a few moments, Klaus broke the kiss, resting his forehead against Elena's. He whispered a goodbye, gave her another quick peck, and then he was gone.
He was there the entire time. When Stefan came, when Elijah came, when Kol came, and when Klaus came. Granted, he had been banned from the room when they came to call on her. He held Elena and rocked her to sleep when she sent Stefan away. He didn't like Elijah, but compared to the other Originals, the eldest was his favorite. He calmed Elena's temper due to Kol's indecency in asking what he did. He had to calm himself too. He was angry when he was set out of the room when Klaus came. He couldn't handle it. He was frustrated with Elena's suicidal tendencies and willingness to give people more chances than they deserves. That was also what he loved about her so much. He didn't deserve her, no matter how many times she said he did. But regardless, these men, these eternal beings, they offered her the world. She said she had her own. It was Damon.
Ta daa! :)
