Katherine heavily sighed for the nth time that evening, she couldn't understand how she was still friends with Caroline Forbes – to-be Mikaelson – whatsoever!
They had just crossed the gates for the Mikaelson Manor. Katherine observed as the previously green grassed ground was now covered in snow, the fountain in the middle of the gravel driveway had its water frozen. She had been inside this mansion so many times already since high school, but the brunette never ceased to admire how winter made it even more beautiful.
As Caroline parked the car inside the covered garage adjacent to the house, Katherine checked her phone for any texts from her parents.
None.
They're probably jetlagged from the flight to Bulgaria.
"And we're here!" came Care's chirped voice as she unlocked the car trunk and got out of the vehicle.
Caroline's trunk was full of gift bags, hers and Katherine's, and both girls were taking them out of the car and hanging them in their arms, while boxes went carefully to the tiled floor.
Caroline could sense her best friend's annoyance. Maybe she had been a little too insistent on demanding Katherine spent Christmas Eve with her and her fiancée's family, that consisted in Mikaelson siblings and their plus ones as well as friends, said family included Elijah Mikaelson, her brother-in-law-to be and Kat's ex.
Oh, the joy.
Yet, Caroline tried not feeling guilty over it, they had ended things in good terms, after all, also Katherine and Elena's parents had gone to Bulgaria, their homeland, to spend the season with family Katherine didn't get along with, besides Petrova – Pierce in the US – Christmases were always… dull.
It looked more like a funeral afterparty than a celebration. Which had made Caroline almost scream the first time she attended and from then on coming up with excuses to take Katherine out of her household over the season.
Elena had Damon for that mission, so the perky blonde was relieved she only would have to look after one sister. Jeremy had previously been in his emo phase, so he didn't care, and after he went to college, he just chose not to go back home for the holidays. Except for this year, because of course Caroline would do everything in her power to reunite the three Petrova kids.
"Are you sure you're not Santa's elf or something?" Katherine mocked while they retrieved the enormous number of bags from the car and settled them on the ground. "Because, really Care, there's gifts for like every person in the US in here!" Katherine exasperatedly gesticulated with her hands to prove her point.
Caroline rolled her eyes as she took the last of the shipment carefully to the ground. "Well, I was sure you wouldn't remember to buy everybody's presents, so I chose some in your behalf," the blonde said mater of factly "also, there's food inside those boxes, dinner won't magically appear on the table, would you say?"
Katherine shrugged, Caroline had a point, Katherine had bought some of the attending's gifts, – reason being she wasn't even certain of whom would be attending - although not all of them, such as her soon-to-be brother-in-law Damon Salvatore. Katherine made an effort to be civil around him, and not to respond his remarks with violence, for her sister' sake, because clearly the elder Salvatore had next to none self-preservation, or any filter for that matter. Katherine couldn't believe Elena had ended up with him.
If she was to be honest, Kat always thought Elena would pair up with Stefan, they were the perfect match in high school. Epic love and all that crap, while Katherine was partying away with Caroline and after sophomore year, Rebekah Mikaelson.
And was in one of their famous sleepovers at the Mikaelson Manor, that Katherine had first caught glimpse of Elijah Mikaelson. Rebekah's second eldest brother.
And Katherine first love, too.
It took them years to get out of the paper - they only had a thing going on when she was in college and he was already working for his family's Law Firm.
The pair had met up again at a bar, it had been Klaus' birthday, Caroline had only started dating the third Mikaelson child, blondie had dragged Kat over and one drink led to another… Katherine and Elijah had had a heavy make-up session in the bathroom, done de deed in his room at the Mikaelson Manor and things were pretty simple from then on.
Until he came with marriage ideas.
Come again?
Marriage?
Miranda, Katherine's mom, had been thrilled. Powerful families such as theirs, usually sticked together and with Elena dating a Salvatore, and Katherine a Mikaelson, soon she would have two weddings to plan and brag about.
Only, the curly Petrova brunette had said no.
Not that Elijah had a chance to propose, she had ended things up with him, praising that she loved her freedom too damn much to be married before she was even 25.
Elena and Caroline approved of her decision, they wouldn't as well, although they never expected Katherine to break things up. Elijah was her first love, the guy who would do anything she asked him to, including wait, only she never gave him the opportunity, because that was what she was good at: running.
Mainly when things got too complicated.
Rebekah had resented Katherine for a while, and when the blond restarted their friendship, came the news of Elijah reentering the dating pool again.
Which stung like a godforsaken torn beneath the nail.
If he was to have a girlfriend she would be devastated yes, but seeing him being single was honestly worse.
She was jealous, and she let him know that every time they would occasionally encounter, Kat'd throw mean remarks, be a bitch towards whomever he was with, justifying it by saying the girls he was seeing were too dumb or some insult of the sort. Until the moment Elijah confronted her and they hooked up.
From then on it was like a pattern.
And when Elijah thought she was to be with him for good again, she would show up with some random guy, and text Elijah saying their hook ups were just TBT. It went on, it was their cat and mouse game, she'd run and he would chase.
Until he didn't.
And then Gia appeared.
Worse of all? She was nice, rocked formal looks – she was a lawyer too - and frequented the same parties as Katherine did, meaning the people in her inner circle were fun and popular.
Kat hated she couldn't hate Gia. Because she wasn't a spoiled brat such as those little dolls Elijah would usually pair himself with, she wasn't head over the clouds' stupid, she was truly grounded and…
"Kat!"
"What?!"
"Help me with the bags!" Caroline asked from behind dozens of bags and boxes.
Katherine sighed and took some gift bags from her best friend "I'll find Klaus to help us with these," Katherine announced as she entered the Manor from the garage' side door.
Oh, the Klaus Mikaelson. Family Architect, fiancée to her best friend. Caroline and Klaus' story was that cliché where girl hates guy in high school 'till they kiss at Prom's night, then life happens causing them to part, only for Mr. Fate make them reencounter in college years later and never split up again. It was kind of cute, not that Katherine would ever admit that, not even under torture.
She walked into the enormous living room, adorned by celling-to-floor windows, loveseats, a giant couch, fireplace, lots of family vacation pictures and of course, season decorations, featuring a big Christmas tree, that she was sure Rebekah and Caroline had chosen and decorated, along with some of the Mikaelson family – by using blackmail, of course – 'cause if she knew them well, and she did, the boys would never do it out of their good will.
"Kitty Kat!" Katherine winced with her high school nickname and dropped the bags by the tree, turning around just to be greeted by Kol Mikaelson.
She rolled her eyes, but opened a smile as she walked to the parlor entrance, being engulfed in a hug.
Kol was an easygoing person, fierce personality, partied hard and nowadays dated her sister's best friend Bonnie Bennet.
"How're doing?" she asked when he let go of her after thrilling her around.
"I'm great Katty," he smiled at her and looked back where she had left the Christmas themed gift bags. "anything special for me?" Kol wiggled his eyebrows and lightly elbowed her. Katherine chuckled shaking her head to his antics.
"You'll see it later!"
"Katerina,"
There was only one person who called her that.
The brunette girl turned around, diverting her look from Kol and facing Elijah and Klaus by his side.
Kat offered them both a corner smile and tried not doing a once over on the ever-suited brother.
"Caroline needs help with the shipment," she explained to Klaus ironizing the amount of things his bride-to-be had brought and watched as his smile died in annoyance. "Of course, she does,"
Katherine shrugged still smirking but didn't follow him as the blonde Mikaelson turned his steps into the garage direction.
"It's good it's not awkward, right?" prompted the youngest male breaking the trance between Katherine and his brother.
"Kol, stop being a lazy ass and come help us!" they all heard Klaus' calling from where he headed.
With Kol leave, Elijah and Katherine were alone, after such long time, there was just them again.
"Merry Christmas," she tried and watched as he approached her, both by the arch of the parlor's entrance.
"Merry Christmas, Katerina," he aimed a small sincere smile at her.
"How's Gia?" she asked out of politeness, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"We're not together anymore,"
Oh.
"I'm sor-"
"No, you're not,"
She smirked at him and shrugged "You still know me, then. But she was really cool though, she didn't suck like all of your girlfriends," Kat exposed matter of factly, uncrossing one arm and pointing in his direction.
Elijah had his hands in his trousers' pockets and left out an amused sound with her words "Are you including yourself in that statement?"
"Hey!" they turned their heads alarmed when they heard Caroline addressing them.
The blonde strode to them, various bags in hand and side hugged her brother-in-law-to-be the best she could with her hands full.
"Why are you two under the mistletoe?" prompted Kol as he also appeared in the room, coming from the garage, Klaus right behind him.
Neither of them responded, instead Katherine gave Elijah an apologetic look, for she knew Kol wouldn't let this go, and took some bags from her best friend's arms.
"Lemme help you, Care,"

It didn't take long for people start to show up. First it was Finn, his wife Sage and their five-year old daughter, Alice. Not longer after them, Stefan arrived, being welcomed by his girlfriend – and if she accepted his proposal that would soon come – fiancée-to-be, Rebekah.
Kol had headed out to pick Bonnie up from the airport. As a journalist, she was away following a lead over some political scandal in Washington DC, and as a devoted boyfriend he was, Kol was happy to take her from the airport to his home for the holidays.
Damon and Elena, as well as Jeremy and Anna arrived together. It was no hidden secret the younger Petrova sibling was both sister's favorite. Katherine hugged her brother so tight, that Anna had to intervene saying she thought her boyfriend couldn't breathe.
Marcel and Camille, that worked in Klaus company, were next and that was pretty much everyone.
Matt and Enzo were serving together in Afghanistan, so this year around, they couldn't make a cameo.
In an instant, they were all crowded around the large kitchen, opening bottles, laughing and poking on Caroline, Sage and Rebekah's recipes, which made the later expel the guests from her kitchen, then they moved to the parlor room, depositing their presents by the tree, while scattering themselves over the cushioned surfaces around.
"Okay, so who'll be Santa for Alice this year?" Stefan asked as he refiled his and Katherine's cups of eggnog, Caroline's recipe.
"Come again?" Jeremy asked as he toasted his wine glass with Anna's.
"Every year, since Alice was born, we have a tradition," Finn started "one of us, brothers, dress up as Santa and give Alice her present,"
"One of, you mean" Klaus interfered "the girl receives so many presents, it could stock Toys R Us!"
Finn rolled his eyes and that was when they heard the front door noise.
"The cute one is here!" Kol exclaimed as he dropped his car keys in the nearby side table, striding into the room. Bonnie was by his side and waved everyone 'good evening', soon going to Elena to chat.
"That's my line," Katherine stated raising her cup in greeting
"Great minds think alike, Kitty Kat,"
"Ugh! Enough with high school references!" she complained as the rest of them laughed.
"What about that Santa tradition, huh?" Marcel resumed the matter.
"You guys are gonna love it this year!"
Elijah rolled his eyes at Kol's mockery.
"Oh, that'll be you then!" Katherine enlightened and looked right at her ex. Most wouldn't've caught his eyeroll, but she hasn't taken her eyes off of him, even more so when she thought he wasn't looking.
"Oh my God!" Camille was incredulous, as well as Elena that spoke next.
"I won't even drink, because I wanna be sober for that!"
"As if you were the strongest liquor-holder in our family, Lena," Katherine said with mischief using the nickname she knew her sister loathed.
"Oh, remember that time when we first drank on Christmas?" Jeremy reminisced.
"Stop it!" Elena tried to shut her siblings up by handing her glass to Bonnie and getting out of the couch, marching to Katherine that was standing beside Stefan behind the loveseat Jer and Anna were on.
"Or that time when we attended to Finn and Sage's wedding," her own fiancée exposed and she looked behind her back at him with fury.
"I was wasted, but I remember someone dancing over the table," Klaus prompted drinking from his glass.
"That was me," Katherine corrected.
"That was Katerina," Elijah said at the same time and the room was tense for an instant.
"Elena was passed up in my Camaro," Damon offered, breaking the awkward moment, and they all came to a round of laughter once more before restarting telling tales in smaller groups.
"You're princess Kate!" a child's voice came from behind Katherine and she stopped middle laugh to some joke Stefan had conjured, looking down at a redhead and green-eyed little girl.
"You must be Alice," she greeted and handed Stefan her glass of eggnog. "I'm not Kate Middleton, but my name is indeed, Katherine,"
As the room mingled in parallel conversations, Alice was wonderstruck by Katherine, or Kate as she called her.
They had sat in the loveseat by the window in deep conversation, where Alice swore her auntie Rebekah was Cinderella, Caroline was Sleeping Beauty, Bonnie was Moana and Elena was Belle. They were all pretty cool, although they weren't real princesses, like Kate Middleton – which Alice couldn't pronounce – was, and as she heard her uncle 'Lijah call her Katerina, she was sure as the daylight that the English monarch was standing in her family's living room.
"So, you're Alice in Wonderland then?" Katherine questioned her, feeding the little girl's fantasies.
Alice gave her a confused look. She hadn't thought of that that way.
"Daddy!" she had completely forgotten about Kat and jumped off of the loveseat in her father's direction, in hopes to convince him on buying her a rabbit and a hat.
"I'm Santa this year," confirmed Elijah from behind Katherine as she moved from her seat to the wet bar, refilling her glass with bourbon this time instead of eggnog.
She smiled with the thought, of course he couldn't fool Kol for three years in taking his place in this tradition.
"If you're as stiff as you usually are, she's gonna find out in a jiffy," Katherine pointed out with a tilt from her head, taking a sip from her drink.
Elijah sheepish smiled at her and raised his glass in agreement, leaning into the wet bar, not taking his eyes off of her.
"I ended things with Gia because of you, you know,"
Katherine almost chocked on her drink, but was able to swallow it, and thank God, she caught Caroline entering the parlor room announcing the table was set for them to dine.
Was he senile in his late twenties already?
How could Elijah drop that bomb on her lap like this?!
She tried and concentrate on her food, which was kind of hard, because Kol was on her side in the beginning, but soon he and Jeremy started a conversation about some technological thing, both were in the same course in different colleges apparently, and Anna started talking with Bonnie, only Katherine was in the middle, so she moved seats, just to be on Elijah' side.
Just great.
The sound of cutlery in plates, as well as glasses clicking was consuming, although in a good way, laughs erupted from every end of the table, as well as endless talking.
"I can't help but say you look beautiful tonight, as well as every time I've seen you, Katerina," the whisper he proffered in her ear made her grip her fork tighter and cross her legs under the table. Okay what was he about tonight?
Apparently, Elijah wanted to play, huh? Saying he'd broken up with his girlfriend because of her… what did he want? Them to come back together? Not happening darling! She wouldn't trade her freedom and single life for marriage and 2.5 kids, plus a manor as expensive as this. Even though the prospect husband was hot as the devil and rocked a tailored suit as he had been born in it.
On the other end, Elijah was determinate on winning her back, by playing the game she invented.
Seduction.
He had ended things with Gia because he couldn't commit the way she deserved. Elijah wasn't as coward as to leading her on – more than he already had -. He had tried, oh God he had, but Katerina was like the tattoos his suits covered. Marking his skin for a lifetime.
First time he saw her, he was freshman in college, she was Rebekah's high school friend. They had locked eyes for a moment and then it was gone. He had heard Kol telling Rebekah how Katherine had a crush on him, but Elijah was too old for her, he'd thought. Also, they had different priorities. How unfairly ironic that that was the same reason they had broken things up all those years after.
From time to time, they hooked up, he was sure she still felt for him the same things he did for her, still she wouldn't budge in her decision of not going back together. He wasn't okay with it, although he would take her crumbs, if it meant he could have her somehow.
That was until he met Gia Mohan.
She'd worked in a case with him, although she was from another Law firm, either way he respected her and considered her a great professional. Gia had also noticed how Elijah served as Katherine happy meal when she thought she needed the thrill, and from the beginning they were friends, then lovers.
Contradicting every reason, Katherine wasn't unpolite towards Gia, nor she was her mate either, but she could act civil, and that was saying much since Katherine usually was ruthlessly blunt with anyone.
However, on late November, Elijah couldn't take it anymore. His brother Niklaus was to be married, and he knew for a fact he was to be paired up with Katherine as best man and maid-of-honor, his blonde brother had also given him a piece of his mind, telling he wasn't so noble as to be with Gia, loving another girl.
That was all the incentive Elijah needed for ending things with the lawyer brunette.
She wasn't devastated. If anything, Gia saw it coming in the future. She wished Elijah the best of luck and that their breakup was used as a starting point in his life where he would learn how to get the girl.
As Kol asked for the mashed potatoes, Elijah passed the bowl and retrieved his arm not without brushing his fingertips in Katherine's nude shoulder.
She side looked at him, soon unlocking their orbs and trying to pay attention to what Rebekah was telling her from the other side of the table.
But if Mr. Mikaelson thought he would get the upper hand, oh was he wrong. He almost chocked on his scotch when he felt Katherine's fingers on his knee.
The look on her face as she turned her head at him told Elijah everything he needed to know.
The game was on.
As people started scattering off of the table, the Mikaelson brothers went upstairs to help – and make fun – of Elijah as he incorporated the role of Santa Claus for the night.
It was almost midnight, and the rest of the group was downstairs telling stories, reminiscing old college and high school days – for Katherine dread – and Klaus chose that moment to reenter the living room, Kol right behind him, both laughing so hard they almost couldn't stand. Maybe that was also because they're as drunk as skunk, but still.
Caroline and Bonnie rolled their eyes as they stood and went helping their respective loved ones, and Finn came right behind his brothers with a smirk in his face.
Sage smiled knowingly at her husband as she balanced Alice in her lap as well as a plate of cookies her daughter insisted on giving Santa.
"Where is he?" the little girl questioned as she saw her dad approaching her mom and herself.
Finn smiled at his baby girl and crouched in front of her.
"He just arrived he-"
"Has to park his sleigh, give the reindeers milk," Damon interrupted and Alice looked at him in awe.
The redhead had an understanding demeanor, but as a Mikaelson, was still impatient and was the only one not trying to hold a laugh when Elijah appeared in Santa's costume.
Klaus had hugged Caroline in the far corner trying not to explode with giggles, as Kol left the room with Marcel and Damon, but one could hear their laughter when they reached the dinning room.
Katherine and Elena covered their faces smirking and Jeremy hid his head in his girlfriend's neck to prevent ruining things for Alice.
Rebekah and Stefan had their iPhones in hands taking pictures and recording videos to save the priceless moment because Elijah would certainly never do that again.
Camille and Bonnie exchanged looks and also left the room trying to hold back their giggles.
Elijah tried to mask his sour expression for his niece' sake, but it was proving hard to get as he watched his family and friends eye-mocking him, even though some were polite enough to try and mask it.
"Santa!" Alice didn't notice Santa wasn't as round as he usually appeared in merchandising, or that he resembled her eldest uncle. The innocent soul only hugged him and offered him the cookie's plate, from which he took one and chewed, before retrieving his red giant sack from behind his back, full of presents for her.
Elijah helped her taking all of them out of the bag, as the little girl thanked him for stopping by, saying he should take the plate and offer the reindeers cookies as well.
He smiled behind his full fake white beard and bid her farewell.
"Oh no Santa, stay a little bit longer," Kol teased as Elijah crossed the threshold aiming the stairs.
Elijah threw the now empty Santa' sack at his brother and watched as Kol failed to move away from it, the bag hitting him right in the face.
Marcel and Damon restarted laughing by his side, clearly drunk beyond repair.
Stefan and Rebekah were right on his toes to get on camera Elijah's dress up 'till the last minute.
"Enough!" he begged, yet with a smirk on his face as he ascended the stairs turning his upper body in his sister's direction, hands raised to shield himself form the camera's flash.
/
Once secured inside his chambers, Elijah made a beeline for the bathroom, he needed a quick shower and then he would be downstairs to exchange gifts and finally the night would be officially over.
Don't get him wrong, he adored his family, but they were just out of limits, overbearing and had no sense of when to stop.
He discarded his Santa costume, almost snarling at the thing in the bathroom floor and entered the ample shower. The hot jet rinsing away all the humiliation of the night as well as his tipsy state, because of course he couldn't have done what he did completely sober.
When he got out of the ensuite bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist, he noticed a figure standing by his window overlooking the snow falling outside.
Elijah beamed with her presence, and moved closer to her.
"I've come to collect my present," she announced turning around to be chest to chest with the brown-haired man.
He raised hand went to her neck as he sank his head, gluing their lips together.
Chase be dammed.
Katherine took her time scratching his chest and back with her nails as he grabbed her butt and grinded their hips together.
"Elijah…" she sighed and a loud moan got out when he palmed between her legs.
"Santa says quiet," he whispered in her ear and nibbled there, descending kisses to her neck and jaw as he worked his fingers down there at the same time.
Katherine chuckled when he said it "you certainly were the hottest Santa Claus there ever was," she told him, while biting his shoulder to prevent from screaming when he moved his fingers a certain way he knew made her squirm.
She was almost over the epitome of ecstasy when he stopped, her outraged expression made him smirk. Soon her demeanor changed for a relieved one when Elijah knelt in front of her and with feather light touch pealed her dress up to get out of his way.
The hairs in the base of her neck aroused when he moved her panties to the side and licked her on the clit.
"Oh God, yes!" she exclaimed gripping his wet hair and gridding her pelvis into his skillful mouth.
Elijah parted from her to look back at the door he wasn't sure it was locked. The man ascended one of his hands that wasn't gripping her tights, silencing Katerina's loud moans with his palm.
Her legs were trembling as she moved back leaning on the windowsill while Elijah moved further digging his tongue inside her core and tearing a loud scream from the woman, that was successfully muffed when she bit his hand. Elijah seemed unfazed by it though, the man was more concerned with eating her out 'till she came.
When Katherine did come, with a violent shudder she pulled him up to kiss her lover forcefully, tasting herself on his lips, her hands traveling south to fumble his length, Elijah groans grew ragged and that was when the knock sounded from the other side of the door.
"C'mon brother!" It was Klaus voice
"We need to open the presents, Kol, Marcel, Damon, Jeremy and now Stefan are almost completely wasted!" it was Caroline exasperated voice.
The blonde had probably sobered Klaus up, because his voice sounded leveled, very different from when Elijah was wearing Santa's disguise.
Katherine pity looked at him and cleaned her hands up in his towel that was already on the floor, adjusting her dress after.
The unapologetic look on her face and his disbelief expression should be framed.
Once downstairs, Elena questioned her sister on her whereabouts "I was asking Santa for my present, of course, I was a good girl this year, after all," she shrugged and Elena's horrified look was so worth it.
Katherine laughed and walked into the parlor, sitting beside Sage, that was nursing an already sleeping Alice.
When everybody was better than fucking drunk, the group started on the gifts, being coordinated by Caroline and Rebekah, of course.
"So, Rebekah," Stefan started offering her a small package, "we've been in this amazing journey for a long time now and-"
"Yes!" she exclaimed as she jumped his bones and started kissing his face in all places she could reach with her lips.
"Oh My God barbie Klaus, let baby bro finish!" Damon shouted, receiving a shove from his own fiancée.
Rebekah confused face appeared as she looked at her green-eyed lover "weren't you asking me to marry you?"
Stefan nodded and turned around to the group "She said yes guys!"
They all cheered and toasted as Stefan put the diamond ring on her finger.
"Any presents I give now will be lame," Kol prompted and Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. "You be aware BonBon, maybe it will be you next year," he raised an eyebrow at her as she pecked his cheek.
More gifts had come and gone and finally Elijah's turn had arrived.
Katherine offered him a knowing look, because her present had already been given, still he left her gift bag to wrap up the exchanging.
"Everybody knows it's Katherine," Klaus rolled his eyes but still grinned at his brother.
Elijah chose to ignore Niklaus' saying.
"And this goes to this incredible woman," he locked eyes with his Katerina across the room, she was by the threshold and raised her glass at him as he sipped from his own "forever on Santa's naughty list,"
Elijah walked to her giving the lady the gift bag, although before she could open it, Kol alerted everyone:
"They're under the mistletoe!"
"There's not running away now Kat!" Caroline giggled by the fireplace, Klaus hugging her from behind.
Elijah and Katherine reciprocity look told everyone what they needed to know.
Katherine didn't need to tiptoe for kissing Elijah in her 6-inch heels, she just draped her arms around his neck and passionately kissed him.
If his family wanted a proper PDA, shall they have it.
Elijah corresponded in the same intensity, the fire pouring from her tongue making him remember the dirty they had done couple minutes ago upstairs. His mouth on hers making her hot and bothered remembering this same mouth on down on her…
They ended the kiss with a lingering promise that Christmas night wasn't over just yet.
Still in Elijah's arms, Katherine heard him whisper in her ear with mischief, "as if we needed mistletoe for us to kiss, right Katerina?"
