AN: Also I rewatched 2x12 and did anybody else wonder where Elijah was? Like I'm pretty sure Elijah knows Elena watching Rose would put human doppelgangers in the possible to become extinct category. What was he up to?


She comes out, and looks at him. His eyes are closed and she takes the opportunity to stare. He doesn't look quite as peaceful as when he's sleeping, but he's still gorgeous. His eyes open and hers widen in surprise.

"What were you thinking about?" She asks.

"The weather." He says honestly. She quirks an eyebrow, and he explains.

"It should have been raining by now."

"Huh. I didn't expect that from you." She admits, as she pulls back her comforter. He carefully sits next to her. She pulls them up.

"Paying attention to the weather?" He asks.

"Well, you always seem to be busy with important things. I didn't know the weather was on that list." She says and he laughs. He appreciates her humor.

"The weather is very important, Elena. I need to know when I need an umbrella." His voice is serious, but she can see that he isn't. She laughs and they pretend like they're fine. They talk about other things than the day they just had. He pauses their conversation to listen, and she's almost worried for a second and then she isn't.

"It's late." He says, and then she hears thunder rumble.

"Maybe you should be a supernatural weatherman. You do wear suits anyway." She jokes. He rolls his eyes. She falls asleep first, they'll need to talk about it all. Later. He wonders exactly when that will be, but Elena is sleeping peacefully. Thunder rumbles again and he thinks that she had the right idea.
