Tumblr : itsgeorgiaii

It's the Mikaelson ball and Elijah asks you for a dance, Kol isn't happy because he likes you and you like him but you do find Elijah attractive. Elijah tries to get his brother Kol to admit his feelings to you but at the end Elijah realizes he has feelings for you but you like Kol and only find Elijah attractive. One shot and reader is a powerful witch. Thank you.

 The Mikaelson ball, of course it was the time to ask your significant other to dance. Elena had the Salvatores, Caroline had Klaus and who did I have... Elijah.

Of course, I didn't hate Elijah. In fact, if Kol didn't exist he'd be my favourite but given I had a huge crush on Kol I was upset that Elijah had asked me before Kol grew a pair.

Don't get me wrong, Elijah is one fine looking man. From his jaw to his posture it was like he was sent from heaven but Kol, Kol was different.

"shall we?" Elijah interrupts my thoughts, his hand raises as my hand gently grabs his and he leads me to the dance floor.

"Kol is so naive." Elijah mutters, he understood my feelings for Kol overthrew any other feelings I had for anyone else including him.

"hm?" I say, only hearing Kol's name brought me back into reality "I had warned him, on multiple occasions that if he hadn't asked you out, I'd be asking you out." Elijah says in a kind of annoyed tone "I thought that was give him some kind of incentive, but given you are here with me he hadn't grown a pair yet." he continues as our bodys swayed to the music.

My head spins around trying to look for the youngest brother who was dancing with some girl from the town.

"Yeah, well, he's made it apparent he has no feelings for me whatever." I shrug "I'm sure he does, a beautiful woman like you would have most men swooning over you." he compliments me and I give him a gentle smile "thank you Elijah." I say quietly.

We continue to dance, until I see Kol's eye locked on me almost as if he had a problem with me dancing with Elijah. Then the music stopped "excuse me for one moment." Elijah smiled sweetly before disappearing off into Kol's direction.

I had been left in the middle of the ballroom, all by myself.

Unsure of what to say or do, I walk out of the room, exiting the house for a breather.

Running my hand through my hair "You left?" Kol says and I spin around "Well someone didn't want to grow a pair and ask me to dance, so Elijah stepped in." I smile, recovering from catching my breath "Believe me I intended to ask you out." he say "I just found you weren't at all interested in what I had to say." Kol narrows his eyes "You're right, I wasnt" I nod walking off.

"I need a drink" I sigh walking back inside, grabbing a glass of champagne off of the plate from the waiters walking around.

Elijah walks outside to where Kol is and I roll my eyes.

Not only did my date go out to conversate with his brother, but he went outside to conversate with my crush. It doesn't sound to bad, but when you add the word 'Mikaelson' to the sentence everything goes bad.

I think that goes for every sentence. 'The Mikaelsons are having a ball.' 'The Mikaelsons are speaking outside', it doesn't go hand in hand even when the sentence is said to be good with no intent of evil or wrong doings.

"I see you need alot of alcohol." Damon mumbles walking up to me "Given that Two of the Mikaelsons are speaking outside, I think I do." I sigh rubbing my dome with one hand as Damon gives me an awkward face "exactly" I say as he walks off.

Kol walks in, Elijah following closely behind him "can I speak with you?" Kol asks and I shrug "Depends are you asking me to dance?" I retort and he shakes his head with a smile "fine" I mumble as he grabs my hand dragging me upstairs into a random room.

"I like you." he says "I-" "you're smart, funny, can't forget sarcastic, moody, strong, brave. Everything I thought I'd never find in a girl until you stabbed me with that little wooden spare" he says placing hands on my cheeks, the door was still open so anyone could listen into the conversation.

"I don't know if you just insulted me or-" "just pretend it wasn't an insult for a moment, i'm trying to tell you how I feel. I don't do this at all." he says making me laugh "I'm sorry, no I understand I get you, carry on, please." I continue laughing.

"fine, keep laughing." he says removing his hands from my cheeks "no you don't" I say turning back to a serious mood and he chuckles "look, i like you." he says and I nod "you said that, Kol." I mumble "besides, if I can make you so awkward then jeez i'm special." I chuckle and he shrugs "you could say that." he sighs scratching the back of his neck.

"Let me get the rest of the night with your brother over and done with, then im all yours." I smile to him and he reluctantly nods, "acutally, I-" he stops himself from saying something and I turn my head "you don't like me with Elijah?" I question him and he nods "oh come on, at least someone in the family had balls." I say walking off.

Slowly walking down the stairs I see Elijah already looking up at me with admiration in his eyes "Elijah?" I question him eventually making it to him as he clears his throat "One more dance?" he asks and I chuckle taking his hand.

As Elijah and I danced to the old classical music, I listened to his heartbeat. I wasn't a vampire but I could do a spell by thinking of the spell in my head, the spell where I had inhumane hearing had popped into my head.

His heart beated quickly, almost like the speed mine beats when I'm near Kol. "You're captivating, y/n." Elijah says, thats when I knew.

Not only had the youngest Mikaelson fallen for me but the Middle Mikaelson did too, how was I suppose to come back from that.

"You're Handsome too, Elijah... but" I pause "No need to finish that sentence, y/n, i know who your eyes are set on. I also know that you can read me like a book, that's okay." Elijah looked down at me giving me a gentle, sweet smile.

I almost felt bad for him in a way, the only Mikaelson who did something not for his own benefit but for his families benefit and the one time he had something that mad him happy, she felt away for another, that other being his brother. It was sad.

"I like you, I really do... But you brother has my heart, Elijah." I sigh still dancing, he nods accepting that he and I would never match "I figured, it was too late anyways." he smiles before the song ends.

"Farewell y/n" he whispers kissing my cheek before vanishing.

"Y/n" Kol yells waving at me to come over.
