↠ Elijah when,he sees
you in a red dress...

ღ

You had been learning how to waltz with Elijah for five days now and surprisingly you were doing well. Chalk it up to your passion for dance that or Elijah Mikealson being one heck of a great teacher. You first came to New Orleans with your childhood best friend,Hayley Marshall.

To put it correctly you both hadn't come to new orleans instead you were kidnapped and trapped in a witches cemetery. Elijah was the first Original/Mikealson you two had met and once he took both you and Hayley into his care. You had immediately warmed up to the suave suited up vampire.

Hayley was pregnant with his brother,Klaus's child and when the witches found out about it,they led Hayley into a trap and you went with her to find out more information on her birth parents so the witches took you too. Elijah put both you and Hayley under his protection,which made you grow closer to him. 

Hayley had repeatedly teased you whenever you talked about Elijah. With your vampire hearing you could often hear Klaus teasing his brother as well. Of course Niklaus Mikelson never spared you either. He teased you quite often. A few days ago,Elijah overheard you moaning about how you wished to learn the waltz and he blurted out ʻʻI could teach you if it's what you wish.ʼʼ and obviously you jumped at the opportunity. 

You were just about to meet Elijah in his room for another dance session when Klaus stopped you. ʻʻA dancing date with my brother again,Y/n? that's wonderful.ʼʼ. He smirked.

You rolled your eyes playfully. ʻʻOh, Klaus your imagination really does run wildʼʼ

He chuckled as you walked pass him and up the stairs over to Elijah's room. 

You knocked twice ʻʻCome in,Y/nʼʼ
You fought back a shiver as he said your name so perfectly. Inhaling a breath of much needed air, you enter his huge room to find Elijah busy knoting his tie. 

 ʻʻHey.ʼʼ

ʻʻSome help,if you may?ʼʼ Elijah slightly turns towards you then back to the mirror. Struggling with his now messed up tie.

You nod  ʻʻOf courseʼʼ before standing in front of Elijah as you fix his tie.

ʻʻYou do this every day,Elijah. What made you require my help right now?ʼʼ You wonder aloud.

ʻʻA beautiful women walks into my room why not take advantage of thatʼʼ He leans in and whispers. 

Your cheeks heat up and for a moment you freeze before clearing your throat as you find your grounding ʻʻDone.ʼʼ

You tighten it one more time and smile as your fingers leave his chest and you step back.

You gaze at Elijah through your eyelashes to find him looking at you intensely.

ʻʻShall we,Elijah?ʼʼ Your voice shakes as you speak his name. You were sure if you were human you'd have a heart attack with the speed your heart was beating at. 

ʻʻRight. This way pleaseʼʼ He gestures with his left hand in an 'after-you' sign. You nod in thanks as you walk over to the West side of his room which opens up into a space big enough to dance in. Elijah takes the remote to the stereo and presses a button as some crap classical music comes on.

He removes his suit jacket and you swallow hard as you watch his muscles flex perfectly underneath his white shirt. 

Come on,Y/n. It's just Elijah. Just one hot guy who's teaching you one of the oldest and most romantic dance's ever. Nothing to it.

You tear your gaze away from him as he tosses his jacket onto a far corner chair.

Elijah closes the space between you two and wraps his arm around your waist. Your chest pressed against his. You gasp at the sudden contact and Elijah lightly smirks. ʻʻYou know this music could put anyone to sleepʼʼ you comment and Elijah frowns. ʻʻPerhaps you should choose then.ʼʼ

You grin ʻʻGladlyʼʼ you notice the position of Elijah's hold on you. ʻʻThat's the wrong position,'Lijah.ʼʼ you lowly tease. He takes a look at his arm wrapped around your waist. ʻʻI believe it is.ʼʼ His hold on you disappears and so does the warm tingly feeling. 

You hook up your phone and hit play on 'Earned it by The Weeknd'. Before sauntering over to Elijah. He screws up his brows together ʻʻThat's most definitely not waltz music.ʼʼ

'You make it look like it's magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you'

ʻʻOh come on. It's good for the turns. It'll work fine.ʼʼ You convince. ʻʻShall we start?ʼʼ Elijah holds up his left hand for you to take. 

He had taught you the basics on your first lesson. It was 2 three step counts and you envisioned a box layout onto the floor as you went about in that pattern. Elijah,showed you the positions and then you practiced. After two days he added in some turns and by the fourth day he had a whole dance planned out. Which you learnt. 

You placed your right hand into Elijah's as he held it at shoulders height. His right hand moved to your back shoulder blade and you felt your skin ignite. You drew in a shaky breathe and placed your left hand onto Elijah's shoulder. 

'Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
'Cause girl you earned it, yeah
Girl you earned it, yeah. You know our love would be tragic'

ʻʻBack straight,knees looseʼʼ He reminded. The song didn't help with your emotions and as Elijah began to move fluidly you followed his lead.

'And you're my favourite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected. So I'ma care for you, you, you.'

You did two turns and Elijah spins you and pulls you in for a dip as the song fades. Your breathing matches his and as Elijah's brown eyes stare into yours,he leans in closer when someone clears their throat breaking up the trance like spell. 

Elijah picks you up making you stand up right as you move away from him. You turn around to find Klaus smirking ʻʻDid I interrupt something?.ʼʼ

ʻʻI'll see you guys later.ʼʼ You grab your phone and leave the room,with a blush covering your cheeks. 

Three hours later

You were dressed in a gorgeous red fitted floor length dress and ready for the party that was being hosted. Elijah had asked you to accompany him to which you agreed. You walked downstairs,stopping by a star struck Elijah. ʻʻYou look gorgeousʼʼ he compliments,his eyes never leaving your face. 

You blush as Elijah tucks a strand of your hair behind your ear. His fingers lingering a bit too longer. ʻʻBeautifulʼʼ He breathes out.

ʻʻThank you. You look dashing as always,Mr.Mikealson.ʼʼ Elijah smiles as he leads you outside to the car. 

ʻʻWhy is Marcel throwing a party?ʼʼ You ask. ʻʻIt's Marcel and Klaus. They're always up to somethingʼʼ he replies. 

At the party

You had spent most of your time with Rebekah and Elijah and when Cami arrived you engaged in a conversation with her. 

ʻʻYou know he likes youʼʼ She says. 

ʻʻWhom?ʼʼ you take a sip from your drink. 

ʻʻElijahʼʼ Cami simply states as she looks at the Original vampire. You glance at him too. He was dancing with Rebekah. 

ʻʻNo,Elijah doesn't... he doesn't like meʼʼ You stutter out. 

 Cami laughs ʻʻCome on,you know he does and you like him too,Y/n.ʼʼ

 ღ 

You danced at the party with Elijah. A few waltz moves here and there but Elijah mostly wrapped his arm around your waist as you'll swayed gently. The thought of Elijah loving you kept flooding through your mind. Especially with the way his touch was burning your skin with sparks.

You swayed slowly with him as the lights from the party danced across you two.

ʻʻYou seem to be lost in thought,Y/n. Are you okay?ʼʼ Elijah asks as he turns you and pulls you back in. 

 ʻʻI'm okayʼʼ You smile. The song ends and you excuse yourself.

Third Person Pov

Elijah watched as Y/n left the dance floor. He had heard her conversation with Cami and Elijah wanted to show
the girl that he did infact feel something for her. So he followed her outside. Y/n was staring up at the stars. 

ʻʻWhat are you doing out here?ʼʼ He walked up to her,giving the girl his jacket. She took it and fitted her hands through the big sleeves. Elijah couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked in his suit jacket. 

Back to 2nd pov

ʻʻYou look sweet in itʼʼ He comments making you blush ʻʻThank you.ʼʼ

ʻʻCamille is right you knowʼʼ

ʻʻAbout what?ʼʼ You were afraid that Elijah had listened into your conversation so you avoided his eyes.

ʻʻI do love youʼʼ Elijah confessed. 

ʻʻYou do?ʼʼ the declaration makes you glance nervously at the vampire. 

ʻʻYesʼʼ He confirmed as he slowly leaned in. His nose touching yours. ʻʻI've been wanting to do this ever since I saw you steal one of my suit jackets and imitate me in the mirrorʼʼ He laughs at the memory and you join in ʻʻIt was one time.ʼʼ

His lips were closer now and as he kissed you, you wrapped your arms around his neck kissing him back. Elijah's fingers grazes your cheek as you pull apart. ʻʻThat's too bad I like you in my jackets.ʼʼ

You giggle ʻʻI know I make it look good.ʼʼ 

Elijah lovingly looks you,the gorgeous girl. ʻʻYou have a melodious laughʼʼ. His lips find yours and this time there's no Klaus Mikealson to interrupt your two souls. 

ʻʻI love you too,Elijahʼʼ you whisper as he wraps his arms from behind you and you two look up at the starry night,being absolutely perfect just like this moment.
