➳ masquerade ball (2)

Caroline picks me up and we drive to the Mikaelson mansion. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous because I was.

I put on the dress Elijah sent me and take a deep breath as me and Caroline get out of the car.

"You look stunning, Care." I give her a genuine smile, "he'll only have eyes for you." I chuckle and smile even wider when I see how red her cheeks have become.

"Thank you Y/N, you look beautiful in that dress." She nudges me and we both laugh together. "So you're after the other brother?" Her wink catches me off guard.

I haven't told her about-

"It's painfully obvious, Y/N" she smirks, I guess it's my turn to blush now. Checkmate.

"I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, deal?" I raise my brows with a shy smile. She really caught me there.

"Deal," she agrees and we enter the mansion. Just a few steps inside and I was completely blown away. Not only was this mansion huge, they have also decorated it stunningly.

The setting teleported you right back into the 90's. The beautiful architecture, the atmosphere, the gold paved frames and candles. My eyes are wide as I take everything around me in.

Not even the word speechless could be used to describe my state right now. I smoothly pass the foyer and walk into the huge hall where many guests have already gathered.

Some were dancing, the others were chatting. I haven't even realized where I was going until I bumped into a firm chest.

"Ow," I wince even tho it didn't hurt.

"My apologies ma-" the deep voice started before cutting himself off. I'd recognize that voice everywhere. I lift my eyes and meet Elijah's gaze.

"Y/N." One word was all it took to unravel me. He said my name with auch tenderness that it was hard to not get lost in my own thoughts.

"Elijah," I simply said as I kept my gaze locked with his. He had his mask on, yet his features clearly gave him away.

That sharp jawline of his-

"You look lovely tonight" he flashes me a smile that makes my knees wobble.

"You look quite handsome yourself," I flash him a shy smile. Where had the confidence I promised to display tonight gone?

His eyes linger on me a little longer than they should, "will you give me the honor of saving me the first dance?" This was not actually happening. Elijah Mikaelson was asking me to dance with him.

I smile, "consider it saved." With that I continue to explore the beautiful and luxurious halls. Elijah and the stairs were beginning to fade away, yet the feeling of his lingering eyes didn't.

After a while I returned back to the ballroom, to my surprise Elijah was already there and his eyes searching for me. Once he makes notice of me, he excuses himself from the man he was talking to and gracefully walked over to me.

"Y/N, may I have this dance?" He holds his hand out and I carefully place my palm into his.

"It'd be my pleasure."

Elijah took me to the dance floor and put his one hand on my waist and held the other outstretched. My right one went to his shoulder, and the other one held onto his outstretched one.

Elijah was leading the moves and I followed. He leaned down, and whispered into my ear  "You look stunning."

"you have already told me," I remind him with a slight blush on my face. Two compliments in one night? We continue to dance.

"I know, but I'm seeing you up close this time." 

I didn't know how to reply, Elijah had me officially tongue-tied. After the song ended Elijah and I left the dance floor, he gently held my shoulder before I had the chance to leave.

"Y/N, I don't know if I'll manage to catch you later since Elena and the Salvatores have arrived so I'll ask you now," he took a deep breath. 

"May I take you out to dinner?"
