"True love is selfless. It is prepared to sacrifice."

Caelum and Jeremy run into the Gilbert household, Tyler and Caroline following behind them.

"Jenna!" They exclaim as they tackle the said person in a hug.

"Woah! What's with the warm greeting?" Jenna laughs.

"We were worried about you! We thought you'd be sacrificed." Caelum says. "Thank god you weren't."

"Oh, come here."

A text from Elijah catches Caelum's attention, them checking their phone quickly to read it.

'Darling, I'm in the woods by the creek. Can you come with clean clothes?"

"Of course. I'll be there in 15 minutes."

Caelum gets up from the cuddle pile of Jeremy, Jenna, Caroline, Tyler, and themself. Grabbing some clean clothes and painkillers, they head out the door, leaving a note for the others.

They open their car, throwing the bag into the passenger's side, and starting it. Caelum puts on some music, singing along to the lyrics as they drive to the creek.

When they arrive, they grab the bag, stalking to the creek. Looking around for Elijah, they call out. "'Lijah? I'm here! Where are you?"

His voice answers them, coming from the northeast of where Caelum stands. They follow the sound, heading over to their lover.

"Love, what's going on-" They cut themself off as they spot another man laying in the grass, naked, and they shift their gaze. "Who is this?"

Elijah has the sense to look guilty, and hesitates before answering. "Caelum, darling-"

"Elijah. Why is Niklaus laying naked in the woods when you told the others you'd kill him?"

"It's a long story-"

"Well then explain. I have time."

"So, basically you're saying that he told you that your siblings aren't actually amidst the oceans?" Caelum asked, and Elijah nodded. "Elijah, honey, I love you but you're an idiot."

"What?" He asks, stunned.

"Klaus may be paranoid, but he would never do that to his siblings. He's terrified that they'd leave, so why would he get rid of their coffins?" Caelum stated. "He wouldn't. He loves them too much for that."

Elijah blinks, jaw dropped. "I'm an idiot." He finally says.

"Yes, you are. But you're my idiot." They press a kiss to Elijah's lips softly, and his hands find their way to Caelum's waist, grabbing it.

They sigh contently as Elijah slips his tongue into their mouth, the kiss soft and slow, romantic.

A cough interrupts the kiss, and the couple pull away from each other to see a very amused Klaus.
