Enjoy !
Elijah was in the armchair in his living room, his chin in his hand, thinking. How ridiculous it was to have been caught by her father, like he was just another teenage boy, making out with the girl he liked in his car. The girl he liked. He sighed. Lily was way too young. Or was he way too old?
She was human, she wasn't safe with him.
"What are you thinking about, brother?" Kol asked, entering the room. Elijah looked up at him, thinking about a lie to tell his sibling.
"Rebekah stayed out awfully late last night" he merely said.
"Yes, I believe she has a "thing" on Adam" Kol said.
"And I believe it's a "thing" for" Elijah corrected his brother.
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is I like him, I'm not blackmailing him" she said, entering the room.
"There she is" Kol said. "Had some fun last night?" he asked with a grin.
"Yes" she merely said.
Elijah chuckled, Kol didn't expect his sister to give that answer.
"Is that so?" Klaus asked, entering the room.
"Yes, Adam is my boyfriend. And don't tell Lily before we do" she told her brothers. Both Kol and Elijah turned, worried, to watch Klaus' reaction. Every time any of them dared to have a relationship, it turned out very bad.
"Splendid" Klaus sighed, like it was no big deal.
Rebekah and Elijah frowned, suspicious.
"Splendid?" Kol echoed, surprised. He was expecting more…anger.
"Mmh" Klaus was obviously busy with something else. He looked up, suddenly. "Yes, now should we welcome our new brother into the family?" he asked with a grin.
"Here we go" Rebekah sighed.
"What?" Klaus smiled. "This way you would have the sister you always wanted" he shrugged.
Elijah raised an eyebrow and Kol laughed. "Now it's clear. If you're dating the twin boy, the girl will be around more"
"Yes, I believe our brother will love that" Rebekah chuckled.
"I thought he liked the sheriff's daughter?" Kol asked.
"No, I was talking about Elijah" Rebekah said with a smile, looking at her big brother.
"Excuse me?" this one asked.
"Oh, come on, I know you like her!" she told her brother. "I know you, you're torturing yourself because you think you're a monster… You like her and she likes you, what's the big deal? Be happy for once in your life, now that we are settled here, let's enjoy it! It won't last the century" she said, looking at her nails.
Elijah stayed silent as his brothers were looking at him, a mocking smile on their face.
"She likes me?" he finally asked.
Klaus chuckled and Kol laughed. Rebekah looked up. "I mean, she's a girl and you're…you…" she shrugged.
"I see" he sighed, maybe a little disappointed.
Rebekah chuckled. "Want me to ask her?" she asked, waving her iPhone around.
"No" he told her, like it was a stupid idea.
"I'm asking her" she said, typing on her smartphone.
"Please, don't" he quickly told her.
"Too late" she smiled at him after her phone made a "whoosh" "Why not? She's just going to think I'm kidding around"
"No, she won't" he sighed. His siblings got curious.
"And why not?" Klaus asked.
Elijah shook his head.
"What happened?" she asked with a smile.
"Nothing" he sighed.
"Then, what's the problem?" she asked and her phone buzzed. "She answered"
"What did she say?" Kol asked.
""OMG, why? I'm so sorry, I don't even know why my dad was home…" What happened?" she asked again, suddenly very interested.
"Nothing" he repeated.
"What happened with her father?" Klaus asked.
Elijah sighed. "When I brought her back to her house, her father was there and made her get out of the car"
"Why did he have to make her get out of the car?" Klaus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We were….talking" he answered.
Rebekah laughed. "You kissed!" she said a little loud.
"No, we did not"
She gasped in realization "You were about to but her father stopped you!"
His siblings were looking at Elijah, waiting for an answer and when he didn't answer they all laughed.
"This is hilarious" Kol laughed.
"Brother, this is embarrassing" Klaus laughed too.
"This is awesome!" Rebekah said.
"I don't see how this is "awesome"" he asked, annoyed.
"You're dating my boyfriend's sister, it's perfect!"
"I am not dating anyone" Elijah made it clear.
Rebekah looked at him, frowning. "Why not?"
"You know, why not, sister, Elijah doesn't get close to anyone. And it's part Klaus' fault" Kol said.
"Of course, blame his misery on me" Kaus sighed.
"We all do" Rebekah whispered but she knew he would hear it. "She texted back"
"What's she saying?" Kol quickly asked, amused.
"She says and I quote "I can't believe I almost kissed your brother, I can't believe he told you, I'm so embarrassed"" she laughed.
"Stop this" Elijah sighed, annoyed.
"Why, we're getting to the interesting stuffs" she said, playfully.
Elijah frowned. "What do you mean?"
""I never imagined my first crush would be a vampire""
Klaus and Kol laughed. "First crush"
"You shouldn't have told me that" Elijah shook his head.
"Why not?" she frowned.
"I'm sure she trusted you, you wouldn't tell me"
"And I'm sure if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't be asking her out tomorrow" she replied.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Oh! We can double date!" Rebekah was going on and on, on how happy she was, how amazing it was they were both dating the twins. Elijah sighed and calmed her down, telling her this would never happened. "Why not?" she wined.
"We shouldn't be involved with humans" he answered. "What are you texting?" he sighed.
"I just texted you liked her back" she shrugged.
"What? Why?" he asked as their brothers were laughing, enjoying the situation.
"Well, you know she liked you she gets to know you like her"
"I never said I like her" he told his sister.
"You're my brother, Elijah! I know you do!"

Lily was on her bed, listening to music, thinking about last night. She almost kissed Elijah, Rebekah's brother, a vampire, a thousand years old vampire. She kept shaking her head between two sighs, cursing herself for being so stupid. This was it. A teenage girl having a crush. "Her first crush" like she had just texted Rebekah. Why did he tell her, it's so embarrassing! Her phone buzzed.
"HE DIDN'T TELL ME, YOU JUST DID ;)"
Oh my God! She sighed and turned in her bed to now face the ceiling.
"DON'T TELL HIM!" she texted back.
"…TOO LATE?"
"Oh my God!" she shouted to herself.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"
"I'M JUST SO HAPPY YOU TWO LIKE EACH OTHER"
Like each other? What?
"WHAT?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT! HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR BROTHER?"
"WHAT? WHAT DOES MY BROTHER HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?"
Lily waited but Rebekah never replied. She couldn't stay on her bed anymore so she got up and walked around her small room, cursing at loud.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lily jumped after she heard her brother's voice.
"Adam! Don't you knock? Ever?!"
Her brother looked at her with big eyes. "Again. What's wrong with you?"
Lily looked at her brother, hesitating. "Argh! I like Rebekah's brother and she just told him and also we almost kissed last night" she said in one breath.
"What? You like Klaus?"
"What, no! Her other brother!"
"Kol?"
Lily sighed.
"Really? Elijah?" he asked, like he didn't understand how his sister could be interested in Elijah Mikaelson.
"Yeah…What?"
"Nothing" he shrugged, looking at nothing.
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
"Nothing" he repeated. "Just… Elijah?" he asked again.
"What's wrong with Elijah?" she asked.
"He's old" he told her.
She frowned. "So is Rebekah" she answered.
"Yeah but…"
"But what?"
Adam sighed. "Nothing" he shook his head. His phone buzzed. He took it out of his pocket and read the text. "It's Rebekah. She's at the Grill. Let's go"
"Why am I going with you?"
"You'll see" he told her, climbing down the stairs.
/
"I know why you want me here" Elijah sighed in the booth in front of his sister.
"They're here, shut up!"
Elijah raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister.
"Sorry" she whispered, realizing she had just told her brother to "shut up".
"Oh my God" Elijah heard Lily breathe out. "I thought we were meeting Rebekah!" she asked her brother. "We are! I didn't know he would be here" Adam told his sister.
"Hey guys!" Rebekah smiled at the twins.
Adam sat next to Rebekah and Lily had to sit next to Elijah.
"Hey, Rebekah" Adam told his girlfriend.
"Hi" Lily whispered to Elijah, blushing.
"Hello" he replied.
She sat down next to him and looked down on the table, uncomfortable.
"We'll this is awkward" Rebekah chuckled and Lily looked up at her, annoyed. "Okay…So, we have something to tell you" she continued.
"Yeah" Adam nodded.
Lily looked at them, waiting.
"We've been dating for a few weeks" Adam told her sister and she frowned.
Suddenly, Lily started to laugh. Elijah looked down at her, amused.
"What's so funny?" Adam asked.
"Adam, you're my twin brother, you think I wouldn't notice you're dating my best friend?" she laughed.
"Best friend?" Rebekah echoed.
"You guys are so cute, thinking we didn't notice, right?" she asked Elijah who smiled and nodded.
"Can I hide anything from you?" he asked, hoping he could.
Lily chuckled. "No" and Rebekah and Elijah laughed.
"You're not angry we hide it from you?" the blonde asked.
"No" she shrugged.
"Wow, that's such a relief" she sighed and Lily smiled.
"You were worried I would be upset?"
"My sister loves drama" Elijah said.
"Well…we're gonna go" Adam said and Lily and Elijah saw the blonde frowned.
"We are?" she asked.
"Yes, let's go"
"But…" Lily tried to say. "Where are you going?" she asked, giving her brother a look that said you leave me here with Elijah, I will murder you.
"To take a walk" he shrugged.
Lily and Elijah were now alone at the table and the girl cleared her throat and moved to the booth in front of her. "Subtle" she said and Elijah chuckled. They sat there in an awkward silence for a few minutes.
"So…" she cleared her throat again. "About last night…" she was looking down on the table.
"Yes" he said. "Your father seemed angry" she looked up.
"Sorry about that" she said. "He knows you're a vampire and I guess he's not really okay with that…"
"Are you?" he asked and she locked her eyes with his. She shook her head.
"You think it bothers me you're a vampire?" she asked like it was stupid. "I'm friend with your entire family" she said. "Well except…for those who kidnapped me and almost killed me"
Elijah had a guilty look on his face.
"Hey" she said and he looked up "I didn't say that to make you feel bad, I know what you're thinking so stop it" she said.
"And what am I thinking?" he asked.
"That what happened to me is your fault. It isn't"
The girl sees the vampire looking down on the table and she puts her hand on his. He looked up at her, she gave him a shy smile and he takes her hand in his and he started to move his thumb against the back of her hand. She was looking at that and he was looking at her.
"It's not a good idea" he said. She looked up at him.
"What's not a good idea?" she asked, confused.
He sighed, squeezing her hand. "Us, it wouldn't be reasonable to act on the feelings we have" he said, avoiding her eyes.
"Because you're a big bad vampire and I'm going to get hurt if I get too close?" she asked, ironical.
He looked up at her and gave her a look that told her it wasn't funny. She sighed and removed her hand from his. She was feeling odd. Was she disappointed or sad, or both? She never felt like that before. Her heart hurt. She was looking down at her hands on her lap. Elijah was about to say something but he was interrupted by Stefan.
"Hey, have you guys seen Alaric?" he asked, he looked panicked.
"I thought you were keeping him in your basement?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, he's gone, he tricked Damon this morning and left the house"
"Sorry, we haven't seen him" she said and Stefan sighed.
"We need to find him. He has the last white oak stake and he kills members of the council"
"My parents are members of the council" Lily said, worried.
"I know, so are Tyler and Caroline's mothers" Stefan said. "Be careful" he told them before he left the Grill.
"I should call my parents" Lily said after a few seconds of silence and Elijah nodded.
"Of course"
Lily's mother had answered her daughter's call, she was fine, she was at work. Her father was in surgery so a nurse texted her he was fine.
"My parents don't know we know about…" she was waving her hands, trying to find the words.
"Vampires?" Elijah said.
"Yeah, witches and werewolves… all that stuffs" she sighed.
"So you can't tell them to be careful" he understood.
"Maybe they know…I mean Caroline must have told her mother…" she hoped.
"They will be fine" he tried to reassure her even though he knew they were in danger.
Lily still wasn't reassured and Elijah saw that. "I will bring you home" he said.
They were both silent in the car, thinking about what almost happened last time he brought her back home. Lily was worried about her parents but she was also worried about her friends. The only weapon that could kill them was still out there and who knew where Alaric was. She didn't notice when Elijah stopped the car in front of her house and she only looked up when her car door opened. She saw Elijah standing outside, she didn't hear him get out.
"Sorry" she said, getting out.
He walked her to her front door and they stopped in front of it.
"Thanks for getting me back home" she said, staring at the floor.
"Of course" he nodded. He was looking down on her, she was so much shorter than him. She looked so tiny, so fragile, he was afraid his simple touch would hurt her. He knew what he had said earlier had upset her and he was feeling bad.
"Rebekah told me there was a dance at your high school next week" he said.
"Yeah… The 20s Decade Dance, she changed it, Caroline wanted to do the 70s" she replied. "Adam didn't want to go but I know he invited her"
"Are you going?" he asked.
She shook her head. "I don't think so" she answered.
"Would you…can I…" he tried to say and breathed out a nervous laugh. Lily frowned, confused, curious of what he wanted to say. "Do you have a date, for the dance?" he managed to ask.
She frowned. "Uh, no…" she said.
"Would you want me to take you?" he asked.
She raised her eyebrows. "Uh…sure" she said. "I thought…"
"Maybe I should do the unreasonable thing for once" he smiled at her and she blushed. He moved closer and she lost her smile, nervous, she lost her breath as he put his hands on her waist and leaned closer to her and put his lips on hers. She closed her eyes but didn't move. She kissed him back, shyly. He let go of her waist, slowly "To make it up for last night" he said and smiled at her. She looked up and locked her eyes in his, giving him a timid smile.
"Do you wanna come in?" she asked, so low, only a vampire could have heard it.
He smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, my father isn't home" she said and he chuckled.
"That's right, I need to be afraid of your father now" he sighed and she laughed, taking his hand to drag him inside her house.

Jessica and Thomas Fell were in the mayor's living room for a council meeting with all the rest of the council's members. They were having a heated argument about the Mikaelsons and the other vampires in town.
"We need to get them out of the town" doctor Fell yelled. "My children are getting too close, it's not safe for them, for any of our children!"
"The Mikaelsons swore they wanted to settle here in peace, they even made peace with the other vampires in town, they promised not to hurt any resident!" Carol said.
"And that's supposed to make it better? They're monsters!" Jessica yelled, scared for her children. "My boy is dating one of them"
"Hell, I'm pretty sure Lily is too!" Thomas said, angry and disgusted by the idea of his children being with vampires.
"And what do you propose we do?" Sheriff Forbes asked. "They're unkillable"
"Well, that's not really true" a male voice said.
"Professor Saltzman!" Carol breathed out after she turned to see the new guest.
Sheriff Forbes took out her gun and pointed it on the history high school professor who laughed at her action. "You could shoot me" he said. "Or you could hear me out and kill the Original vampires you so desperately want out of the town your ancestors founded"
"You know how to kill them?" one member asked.
"I have 10 bullets made of the one wood that can kill them. Which means 2 shots at each one of them…Or would you rather shoot me?"
