AN: Elijah and Elena are not together yet in any of these fics unless stated. This will be completed as quickly as possible, and I will be updating my other stories as well. Nothing will be taking a backseat to this.
Shout out to Siberia21 because she suggested this and I can't say no to her like ever.
The prompt for this chapter is:"MEERRRY CHRISTMASS!"
He is expecting Elena, but he's not expecting the plethora of bags and boxes occupying her arms as she greets him with bright eyes and in a heavy coat. A scarf partially obscures her face, as she enthusiastically says, "Merry Christmas!"
He steps aside to let her in. She sets the boxes and bags down gently in his living room. He notices that they're placed exactly where she suggested he put up a tree a few weeks before. She unravels the scarf around her neck and hangs her coat.
"Are those all for me?" He teases, looking at the pile of presents.
"Yeah." Elena says as she continues to take off her outerwear. When her hat and boots are neatly put in their proper place, she looks at him.
He has an eyebrow raised and she laughs.
"I already mailed everyone else's and we're supposed to have bad weather. Those are all yours." She tells him and he disappears for a moment and returns with a few boxes of his own.
They take turns unwrapping presents and drink hot chocolate. It's a quiet Christmas, and it's how they both like it.
