Prompt- Desire
He desired the younger vampire, as did many when he had inquired about Harrison Salvatore he had heard only good things.
The vampire that ran into burning buildings to save children, not caring about his own life. The vampire who argued with werewolves, debated with witches. Anyone that had met him didn't have a bad thing to say about him, but they had all commented on how broken he was, who when he thought no one was looking there was a deep seated sadness that surrounded him.
He was puzzled about the younger, he had Damon's and Stefan's last name yet the two were adamant that they didn't have any more siblings, that it was only them. It was confusing to say the least. He wanted to learn more about him, know him in ways that no one else did, but he had to be careful about it. Klaus had taken a liking to the younger vampire and had adopted him as a younger sibling something that had confused nearly the entire family, after all Klaus didn't do nice, Klaus rarely if ever cared for anyone. He cared for his family but even that was minimal.
Elijah was confused he was an original vampire one of the first so many things didn't surprise him, Rebekah was the same but she was more inclined to believe in love and other things. She had always been a romantic at heart, more so than any of them so when they had found out about him desiring the younger vampire he had been teased merciless from Kol, Rebekah had merely grinned and wished him good luck, Finn hadn't really said anything just clapped him on the shoulder and walked out. Klaus had thrown a fit, he had threatened to dagger Elijah for even going near the younger vampire something that had shocked everyone, but it was quickly cleared up when a knock at the door echoed throughout the house.
Klaus smiled, a actual real smile and rushed to the door. He nearly threw the door off its hinges in his enthusiasm to open it, there stood on the other side of the door was the object of the conversation, Harrison Salvatore who looked a little worse for wear, if anyone was honest with themselves.
Klaus ushered the younger in and threw him a blood bag, uncaring of who say him acting well human. Harrison caught the bag and smiled it wasn't a bright 100 watt smile but a small shy one, as if he was unused to kind gestures, something that puzzled them even more. Elijah took his time to run his eyes over the younger and could see what people meant, there was a very deep sadness that surrounded him. It was almost suffocating, the way that his green eyes kept flickering to the door as if he was about to bolt any moment.
He wasn't the only one that had noticed Harrison's flighty response either Klaus was looking at him with worry?
Was that even possible?
But it didn't matter at the moment, as it looked like Klaus had taken the decision to act out of his hands
"Your twitchy."
Harrison looked up from his bagged blood, and blinked several times before stammering out a reply
"I-i-i am, f-f-fine."
Klaus just scowled at him
"Really?"
Harrison nodded his head and took a small sip of blood, Klaus continued to stare at Harrison until he caved
"No, no i am not fine."
Klaus smirked, but it didn't hold it usual arrogance
"So?"
Harrison looked at Klaus and bit his bottom lip several times, he knew he would have to tell him. Tell Klaus what only two other people knew, but he didn't want to lose someone else someone who had became a brother to him, someone who he had came to depend on.
"You know that my last name is Salvatore."
Klaus nodded his head, he knew that the other had their name but he had never seen them interact with each other, in fact the other two seemed to pretend that he didn't exist most of the time.
"Yes i am aware of it."
Harrison smiled it wasn't a full smile but it was better than what anyone else had seen so far
"I was adopted by them, Amile had found me in their garden with Damon trying to pick me up, apparently he thought i was his new brother that the stalk had dropped off."
Klaus, Rebekah and Kol snickered at the image that he had given everyone, it did paint a rather funny sight and Elijah was struggling to contain his own chuckles as well. But they wanted to hear how the story ended, and they didn't want to stop him for fear that he wouldn't finish it.
"Anyway we grew up together, it was fine until Amile died. Then it was me and Damon looking after Stefan and each other, for years everything went well. Sure we had fights but what family does not?"
They nodded their heads what he had said was the truth every family fought no matter how much they loved each other.
"Anyway Damon went to the army and i continued to look after Stefan who was growing up into a wonderful young man, but then Katherine came. Everything changed, Damon and Stefan began to drift away from me, they spent more time around Katherine who was too busy playing one off against the other. So we drifted, it hurt for awhile until i met Steven he was the stable boy for the Lockwoods, at first everything was going well. Sure we had to sneak around but it was worth those few stolen moments we had."
Rebekah smiled, she could just see it a young human Harrison sneaking around to be with his lover, it sounded very romantic to her.
"Thats when we were caught Damon and Stefan caught him kissing me, their reactions were violent to say the least."
Violent? Klaus could feel all too familiar rage boiling he knew that what he heard next would sing their death warrants.
"Stefan, smashed a nearby rake over my face scaring me so even after i had turned it was still there as a glaring reminder. Damon punched me so hard that my eye was swollen shut, they had a few choice words to say to me. I left a few months later, with Pearl and Anna who became my family."
The room was quiet almost deathly quiet, Klaus had held back his rage for as long as possible but not it was bursting at the seams, Elijah wanted to go over to the boarding and kill everyone that was in the damn house, how could they do that to their own brother?
One thing was for certain the moment that Elijah had Harrison's heart he wasn't going to give it back.
After all what Elijah desired Elijah got.
