The boys both came over with a ton of flowers in their hands, roses to be exact. And they weren't the kind of roses that were falling apart either they were full, beautifully bloomed red roses.
Elijah and Klaus looked at each other and nodded their heads.
Elena and Caroline were both besides themselves. As the boys started walking towards them they noticed the roses in their hands. The two of them shrieked and began to jump up and down.
Klaus was at Caroline before Elijah could catch up. He was all smiles at looking at Caroline's reaction to the flowers. He walked up to her quickly and wrapped her into a hug. "I love you." He whispered in her ear and kissed her neck.
Caroline was speechless it was the first time that she had gotten flowers before that weren't apology flowers. She took them from Klaus's hands and put them up to their nose. They smelt fresh, like they were just grown. She let the scent fill her nose as she moved closer to Klaus's side.
The two of them stood and watched as Elijah finally walked over to Elena. He was a bit more hesitant. Elijah wasn't used to wooing ladies, he didn't quite know how to go about it. And he was crazy about Elena. He walked over slowly letting thoughts of her fill his head.
She stood against the car, avoiding his gaze. Looking up at the moonlight sky and smiling, breathing in the fresh scent of a summers night. The more he stared at her the more nervous he got. He looked over at Klaus who had Caroline wrapped in his arms.
Elijah noticed that Caroline was staring at the flowers and then looked at Klaus and smiled. He smiled back down at her and then gave Elijah an approving nod.
"You can do this, brother." He mouthed.
Elijah nodded, and got the confidence to walk over to Elena.
"These are for you, Elena." He said, taking her hand from out of her pocket and placing the flowers in her own.
"They're beautiful, thank you." She looked at the flowers and smiled.
"They remind me of you." Elijah said, awkwardly laughing to himself.
Elena loved when he did that. She loved everything about the way Elijah got nervous around her. For once, she wasn't the one at a loss for words.
"Why do they remind you of me?" She asked him, taking a hold of his hand.
"Because, they're beautiful and flawless...just like you." He pulled her into a quick hug and Elena kissed him on the cheek.
"I love them." She told him
"So what are we doing?" Caroline interrupted.
Her and Klaus were wearing huge grins as they were watching the Elena-Elijah moment unfold. Behind Caroline's back Klaus held up a thumbs up for his brother.
"We have a little bit of walking to do, I hope you two don't mind." Elijah smiled.
"Not at all!" Caroline began walking away from the car with a spring in her step.
"This way, love!" Klaus laughed walking towards her and grabbing her hand. "I admire how you like to lead the way all the time, but you don't even know where we are going."
"Oh yeah, oops!" Caroline's face turned red as she giggled and locked arms with Klaus.
Elena and Caroline placed their flowers on top of the hood of the car in hopes that they wouldn't get ruined by the summers heat.
Elena and Elijah walked ahead of Klaus and Caroline hand in hand, making quiet conversation that even the two vampires behind them couldn't hear.
"He was very nervous to give her the flowers." Klaus whispered to Caroline.
"I could tell, he did a good job though. Did you see her face light up? Oh it was the cutest thing. She has a real thing for him Klaus. I've never seen her this head over heals, not for Matt, or even Stefan!" Caroline beamed.
"I know, and he is in love with her, Caroline. He just doesn't know how to act around her sometimes. He doesn't want to do anything to push her away." Klaus smiled watching the two playfully push each other ahead of them.
"It's just so nice to see her happy again!" Caroline sighed leaning her head into Klaus's arms as they continued the walk.
Ahead of them, Elena and Elijah were talking about the other couple.
"She finally found someone that gets her that's the best part!" Elena laughed, turning her head around just in time to see Caroline lean up against him.
"I know. Klaus has a strong understand towards her, and a want to keep her safe. It's incredible." Elijah enjoyed seeing his brother happy again. It had been awhile since Klaus had been okay in his eyes. He always loved his brother, but there was a time where he couldn't stand the fact that he was the one that killed his mother. "Caroline really changed him." Elijah added.
"And Klaus changed Caroline. She isn't so depressing about herself anymore, she has gained so much self confidence!"
Just then, Klaus and Caroline caught up to the two.
All four of them smiled, blissfully unaware of the conversations that had just taken place.
"We're almost there!" Klaus told the group.
"Where are we going?" Elena whined, the suspense was killing her.
A couple minutes later Klaus and Elijah stopped walking at the same time and the girls gasped.
They were at an old park, with a pond next to it.
It had a playground, a walking path and trees surrounding it were strung with lights.
There were two picnic tables set up with table clothes and desserts and wine for Elena and blood for the vampires.
"Did you two set this up?" Caroline asked, punching Klaus's arm.
The boys smiled, admiring their work.
