Our Special Place || The Mikaelson Brothers [Book 1] (ONGOING)

2x04: Memory Lane

*Mature Content Warning in this Episode*

Henrik and Vanessa were out on a date night, due to Caroline and Milo's constant insistence to babysit the baby Fernsby. The two reluctantly agreed to go, not wanting to leave the baby with everything that was going on in the supernatural world.

But, alas, they caved and decided that to have a night together alone would be nice. They hardly had any time together; with Elena's problems, helping Caroline out and looking after Zara, they had no time alone.

The boy decided to take her somewhere different to the Grill, which would be crowed with their friends and the issues that they had. Instead, he took Vanessa to a nice, restaurant on the outskirts of Virginia then booked a hotel room for the night.

Henrik, wanting to spoil his mate, decided to drive. He had asked Milo to teach him to drive when the two first meet, hoping that his future brother-in-law would help him out; to which the Fernsby boy agreed, happily.

He lead her to the car, that Milo was lending them for the night, after the two said bye to Zara. He opened the door for her, letting her slip into the passenger seat before climbing into the drivers seat and started to drive, keeping a hand on her thigh as he did. 

"Where are we going?" Vanessa asked, confused as they passed the Grill. "You haven't told me where."

"You'll see soon." He responded, smirking at her pout.

The two chatted absentmindedly as the Mikaelson boy drove through the fields of Virginia. It was nice for the two to be alone together and have some time on their own before being pulled back into other's issues.

It took about 2 hours to get to their desired destination. As soon as the two got into the restaurant, Henrik parked the car and looked over to find Vanessa gawked at the grand building before them.

"Wow." The brunette muttered, under her breath.

"Is it too much?" Henrik asked, quickly. "We can go somewhere else if you'd prefer. I just wanted you to have a good time where you just need to worry about yourself and not the doppelganger's issues. You deserve some time to yourself and..." He rambled before getting cut off by the brunette.

"Hen, it's fine. Relax." Vanessa said, giving his hand a squeeze and a soft smile. "It's perfect."

Henrik smiled, and relaxed, knowing that he got something on his own. He leaned over the clutch and gearstick before placing his lips to hers. She instantly kissed him back, passionately, before pulling back for air and smiling brightly at each other.

The two decided to then go into the restaurant. Henrik quickly rushed out of the car and ran to the other side of it before Vanessa could climb out herself and helped her, gentlemanly. Placing a hand on her back, he guided the brunette into the restaurant and met with the hostess, who eyed the boy up and down.
