I'm still up on the fence about whether I should put the actual smut up on a different site (probably tumblr.) I might end up putting a watered down version on ff. I really don't want my account to be deleted. ..

Also, Kol is alive in the story but I'm not sure whether I want to actually have him be in the story or be mentioned in passing.

As the last of the human students exited the lecture hall, the vampire approached Elijah while he was putting away his notes…

Elijah finished packing up his notes and watched the vampire approach his desk. As he neared, his face changed from nonchalance to confusion and finally alarm.

"You don't have a heartbeat." He said in a lightly accented voice.

"I don't have a heartbeat." Elijah mocked back.

"Oh." The vampire looked exceedingly uncomfortable at this point and Elijah wondered exactly what he had planned to do when he thought he was human. Compel test answers out of him, perhaps?

The vampire anxiously coughed and added "This is really not going to plan."

Elijah simply stared back and waited for the boy to continue as this looked to be going in a rather amusing direction. He could do with a bit of amusement. He hadn't really had much interaction with vampires after leaving New Orleans. Sure, he kept up with what Rebekah and Klaus got up to. And he got the occasional report about Kol. But he had kept himself isolated after his last "broken heart." He hadn't talked to Hayley in five years. He couldn't bring himself to act in a purely platonic fashion around her. But he did make sure to send Hope birthday and Christmas presents every year.

Returning from his musings, he analyzed the brief stuttering statements of his student and realized that the boy had no interest in his subject and had simply planned to compel his professor to give him a perfect grade.

As the boy ended his stumbling explanation, he looked hopefully at Elijah and said "so maybe you can do me a solid and just let me fly by on this class?"

Elijah couldn't keep himself from glaring at this presumption and heatedly replied "No, I cannot 'do you a solid' Mr….?"

"Smith. Dmitri Smith, Professor….Smith."

"Dmitri…Smith?" Elijah said somewhat disbelievingly. But he couldn't fault this Dmitri for giving a false last name when he had done the same thing.

However, he couldn't let go of his assumption that he would be getting out of this class easily. And Elijah managed to give a five-minute speech on why Mr .Dmitri Smith would actually have to work for his grade.

As he continued, Elijah noticed a definite thrumming of heartbeats right outside of the classroom. A glance out the door showed several students waiting to enter the classroom.

"We can talk about this more in my office." He ended while expecting no fight from the vampire on this.

"I have a class right after this." The vampire said without making eye contact.

"Lie." Elijah silently thought.

Out loud, he said, "I'm sure you can compel your next professor to forget your absence… It won't be so easy to earn my forgiveness." He added a slight bit a menace to the end of his declaration.

Apparently, this was enough to convince Dmitri to simply follow Elijah to his office in silence.

Once inside, Elijah proceeded to remove his suit coat and place it on the back of his leather office chair while the younger vampire stewed in nervous silence. He sat down and proceeded to observe Dmitri with a careful eye. After he decided the vampire had fidgeted enough, he gestured to the chairs in front of his desk and the vampire nervously sat down.

Apparently the vampire was unused to prolonged periods of silence because, as soon as he sat down, he started nervously rambling. "So, I'm really, really sorry about the whole planning to compel you move. I just needed a higher level history class for my GERs (General Education Requirements) and this one fit the bill. I'm a science major so history is not really my thing." Elijah couldn't keep himself from cringing slightly at this point. "I just thought I'd give myself more time to focus on what I wanted to learn about…Not that history is not worth learning about" he added hastily. "I mean if we can learn so much from it." He ended lamely.

Deciding to prevent the younger vampire from embarrassing himself anymore, Elijah firmly declared "Enough."

"I think it's best if you learn an appreciation of history much deeper than you would get from my regular lecture."

As the boy moved to object, Elijah continued "This isn't a negotiation."

"You will attend additional history tutoring in my office three days a week in addition to lecture…."

At the deliberate scorning of his choice in last name, the younger vampire winced and said "You can call me Dmitri. That is my real name."

"Very well then, Dmitri," Elijah announced. "Your first lesson starts tomorrow at 9am sharp. Don't be late."
