Vampire Diaries Imagines

Beautiful - Elijah Mikaelson

I felt like I was in a weird version of the masquerade scene in The Phantom of the Opera right about now. Out of all the things Caroline, Bonnie and Elena could talk me into, a masquerade was not one of the things they would make me do. They knew I didn't like parties of any kind and usually I would only have to say no once and they would let up but not this time. Oh no. They were not about to give up their persuading game till I gave in and actually said I would go. The three of them obviously knew something I did not or else I don't believe they would have tried so hard.

So now here I stood in the corner of the room in a long flowy dress Bonnie had picked out for me before they had ever talked to me about coming and a mask to match with a cup of something alcoholic in my hand. Trying to make myself invisible to everyone else. So far, I had done a great job of just that. Well that was until someone made their way over to my corner of the room.

"Lovely night, is it not?" asked the voice of Mr. Elijah Mikaelson, himself.

"That it is, Mr. Mikaelson." I replied.

The man turned to me and looked at me slightly confused from what I could tell from the parts of his face that shown out of his mask. "(Y/N), I didn't expect you to be here." He stated.

Elijah know me better than anyone. He knew how much I hated these types of things just as well as Elena, Bonnie and Caroline did. The only one to ever respect that fact too, apparently.

"I honestly don't want to be here, Lijah but I couldn't listen to Elena, Caroline and Bonnie's constant nagging and whining anymore." I huffed out a laugh before I continued. "It was getting annoying after listening to it all for three days."

I could see him nod slightly in an understanding manner out of the corner of my eye. "Why don't we get you out of here there." He suggested as he turned completely to me.

"I like your way of thinking. Don't think the three queens would notice." I said as I observed Caroline dancing with Klaus, Bonnie with Jeremy, and Elena with Damon.

"Seemingly no." Elijah smiled and held out his hand for me to take ahold of. "Come on, love."

Taking ahold of his hand, I let the sharply dressed Mikaelson lead me out of the building and walked with him in the direction of the Mikaelson mansion.

"It really is a beautiful night." I stated as we walked down the sidewalk, our hands still held in one another's.

Elijah nodded with a small smile. "That it is, my dear." He brought our hands up and kissed the back of mine which made me smile. "But not as beautiful as you are, my love."

"You're too good to me, Elijah." I said shaking my head just slightly.

"Nonsense. I just simply help you escape the horrendous occasions and hold you till you fall asleep every night." He said with a slight sense of humor in his voice.

"You didn't have to leave too, Lijah. You love those types of events. Just because I don't too much care for them doesn't mean you can't stay and enjoy them yourself."

We walked up the front stops of the mansion, Elijah opened the door for me and followed close in suit when I walked into this home. "I didn't see the point in letting you leave by yourself to go home alone When I could simply come with you and enjoy my night with the most beautiful, I have ever seen in my many years on this Earth." Elijah explained as he took his sports jacket off my shoulders where he had placed it during our walk when I started to get chilly and laid it over the back of the sofa that I was now sitting on.

I smiled and looked over at him as he sat down beside me. "Now you are just trying to flatter me, Mr. Mikaelson."

He wrapped are arm around my shoulder and pulled me into him. "Now I would never dream of doing such a thing." Elijah crackled and placed a gentle kiss upon the top of my head.

I let out a content sigh as I melted into Elijah's embrace and watched as the flames of the fire danced within their restraints of the fireplace. "Think they have caught on by now?" I questioned silently

"Not even in the slightest, my love." He said kissing my head once more.
