(A/N - OMGGG guess who is back. I took a long time off but I am back to serve y'all. Sorry this is rushed but it's only coz I have an idea for a new full fanfic for Delijah. However I am taking requests - depending on the length and desire it takes me 2-4 days to write. Anyways, not my best but here while you wait.)

3x14-15

Elena had once again told Damon that she can't be with him because of her love for Stefan. Damon knew that. In fact at this point Damon was almost certain he wasn't in love with Elena anymore. Not romantically anyways and perhaps he never had been. Maybe it was her kindness and friendship that drew him to her or the need to compete with Stefan not out of malice toward his brother but because of the need for once to be somebody's, anybody's first choice. Elena's inexplicable attraction to the danger and thrill Damon provided was the perfect experiment. Still it was not enough. Whether Damon wanted her not, one thing he wasn't about to do was let her die because of this original family drama.
Damon and Stefan stepped out of the car and walked towards the house.
"What's on your mind"
Stefan asked Damon. Damon shook his head smiling at him tight-lipped,
"Just can't wait for this original drama to be over"
He replied
"Well as much as we wish to be out of town as soon as possible unfortunately my mother and Elena have made that a bit difficult "
They heard a voice as they entered their living room. Damon groaned, rolling his eyes as he saw Elijah sitting on their couch. What now, he thought. Elijah explained everything to the Salvatore brothers from Elena's role in the linking spell, Rebekah's prepared state to kill Elena and Esther's current actions. It was clear what Elijah wanted, the Bennett witches dead. No. Absolutely not. Damon shook his head, there's no way he would do that to Bonnie she was his best friend, in their own unconventional way they grew to care for each other, besides Elena would never forgive him.
"Let me make myself clear, Elena will not live to forgive you if you do not do as I instruct you to by 9:06"
Elijah stood in front of Damon looking at him through a gaze Damon could not place or understand, causing his breath to hitch, one Elijah himself was unsure of whether he wanted to understand it, his finger, breathing heavily, pointing towards Damon's chest. His finger lightly grazing his sweatshirt. Damon smirked,
"How very specific of you"
he chided
"At 9:07 the moon will be full and my mother will have the power she needs to kill us all. You do it before then or Elena is dead. Seems like we all have our timelines. Goodbye"
Elijah began to leave when Damon vamped got the front door blocking his exit standing close to him their faces inches apart. If Elijah was annoyed his face did not give it away in any sense remaining stoic.
"There's just one problem"
Damon began
"See I don't really care whether you all live or not and as for Elena well she's a smart kid she can figure it out so I don't think we'll help you"
He finished standing against the door staring at Elijah almost daring him to do something, would he attack him, kill him there, choke him again, stab him with a pencil again, pin him to the wall again? Damon challenged him for a reaction to recreate the twinge he felt when Elijah did all of that, it was his vampire instincts which forced him to find pain pleasurable. Not Elijah. Elijah simply raised his eyebrow and shrugged.
"Very well. If the original vampires die so do all other vampires in the world including yourselves because once a vampires sire dies meaning the original vampire of whose heritage let's say you come from is killed so are you. So now, do you think you should help? Oh and look Rebekah just sent a picture of the lovely Elena."
He finished, Damon saw the photo of Elena she was unconscious with Rebekah circling her like prey. Damon wanted to see if he could call Elijah's bluff and stand up to him for longer but Stefan had other plans.
"We'll do it, just let Elena go."
He said. Elijah smirked nodding, whilst maintaining eye contact with Damon. Damon scoffed leaving with Stefan to find these witches. But first they stopped by at the grill where Alaric would hopefully have daggered Kol - one original goes down the rest do. As they arrived at the grill, Ric was bringing his body out, before Damon or Stefan could do anything Klaus pushed them out of the way forcing them to go flying against the alleyway walls, he pulled the stake out of Kol and went to confront Damon, telling him that he should have killed him months ago. Damon laughed shaking his head
"You know you really are pathetic still seeking mommy's validation, believing her blindly when she wants nothing but to kill you"
Klaus looked at him confused and angry he was about to grip Damon's throat before a voice boomed
"Leave him Niklaus. We still need him"
Elijah again, Damon rolled his eyes why couldn't he just leave them alone. Damon walked up the steps ready to leave when a hand on his shoulder stopped him in his place.
"You will go and you will find a way to stop my mother by 8:30 or so help me God, Damon I will rip out your heart myself and if that isn't enough I will kill your brother in front of you before I kill you."
Damon looked at him to see any inkling of a bluff in Elijah's eyes but once again his face gave away nothing. Except for the slight rub of his thumb up Damon's shoulder. What was he doing? Damon barged past him to go find Esther. He saw Bonnie.
"They have Elena Bon and every vampire is sired to them if they die so does every vampire in the world. You have to stop"
He told her
"Damon, I can't. She's channelling us and our ancestors. I don't know how to stop her."
She replied. Damon thought for a while.
"I have a plan but you won't like it."
He explained to Bonnie how you can't be a witch and a vampire and being dead would Sever the connection. Bonnie shook her head, she knew Damon would never turn her into a vampire but that meant it would be Abby her mother who she just got back, who just got back her magic she'd hate it. Damon argued that it's the only way and Bonnie shook her head despite knowing that it's true.
"I'm sorry"
He said before disappearing. He found Abby.
"This will only hurt a second"
He grabbed her, fed her his blood before snapping her neck. He vamped back to Bonnie with Abby's corpse and told Caroline to help with the transition, Bonnie looked away from him, refusing to talk to him. She'd come around, she was just upset, Damon understood that. He went outside to see that the fire around the pentagram had burned out and Esther was unconscious on the floor with Finn by her side. The other 3 Mikaelson brothers stood watching.
"It's done now leave us alone"
Damon snarked at them focusing on Elijah, would he say anything?. He didn't so he turned and walked away. Elijah turned his head tempted to go after him but decided instead to watch him walk away .
"He's a smart guy."
Kol remarked.
"And strong. I think we should work on having Damon Salvatore as an ally rather than an enemy"
Klaus added directing his words to Elijah sensing something between the pair
"No."
Elijah cut off the notion sharply
"We're done here. We're going back to New Orleans and that's that. You will stop with this hybrid fantasy. Leave Elena be. Leave the Salvatore brothers and we are going back"
He looked at Klaus ensuring he understood and listens. Elijah was glad to be rid of the Salvatore brothers, especially the older one, he could not wait to be out of the arrogant, snarky and disrespectful young vampires life. So then why was there a part of him that felt as if he should say bye or thank you even.
"Well Elijah that's simply not happening. I need the doppelgänger. However I am willing to make a deal with her. She gives me blood on a regular basis I let her live. Simple"
Klaus retaliated. Elijah shook his head he no longer wanted to be involved in this. It was time for Klaus to pick. Hybrids or his family. Elijah walked away from them. Meanwhile, Damon and Stefan had gotten home and Elena met them there. She came up to Damon and hugged him, assuring him she understood why he turned Bonnie's mum into a vampire. Then she and Stefan went back to her house. Damon sighed as he sat on the couch. The originals would be gone now so why did he feel so unsatisfied, they had got what they wanted. He would never have to see Elijah again. Which was good right?  Damon groaned. Curse his self destructive nature and vampire good looks he found Elijah Mikaelson attractive in all his glory and threats. Ugh why him. He scoffed to himself degrading kink much. A knock on his door pulled him out of his own head. He opened it and standing there on the other side of the door was Elijah Mikaelson.
"I thought I told you to leave us alone"
Damon looked at him confused.
"You did. And we shall. I just came to thank you. What you did today was admirable."
Elijah told him.
"Got it. You're welcome. Goodnight"
Damon went to shut the door, but Elijah grabbed it holding it open. Damon looked at him and scoffed, what is this guy doing.
"I'm sorry you had to do that. I shouldn't have threatened Elena or gotten you involved this was our problem we should've solved ourselves. My family admires your strength which I know is not an excuse but we were sure you could help us"
Elijah told Damon with a sincerity towards him that he had never seen or felt before in his life. He nodded.
"It's fine. I get it. You did it for your family. Any one of us would have done the same"
He told him. Elijah scoffed
"Except Klaus has chosen himself over family again"
He told him. Damon nodded tight lipped with a sympathetic smile. He couldn't help but feel bad for Elijah, he trusted Klaus so many times only to be betrayed by him because Klaus always picked something else over them. Damon sighed knowing he would regret this.
"Look man, do you wanna come in for a drink?"
He offered. Elijah looked at him.
"Oh - no. I couldn't possibly intrude. I should leave now"
He countered turning around. Damon wasn't sure what to do. He lets Elijah go now and they'll never see each other again he'll get over this small attraction, there's nothing there. But what if? What if there is a tiny part which is mutual because this isn't a commitment to emotions but rather a response to attraction.
"Elijah."
Damon called causing him to turn around again. Fuck it. He thought. Before Elijah could say anything else Damon stepped out onto the porch, grabbed Elijah's face and crashed their lips together. Elijah froze, shocked by his straightforwardness. A couple seconds passed and there was no response and Damon was about to pull away embarrassed when a pair of hands grabbed his head and pulled him closer kissing back desperately as if anymore hesitation would make him disappear. Damon pulled them both into the Salvatore boarding house their lips moving against each other and hands desperately and lazily roaming each other. Damon pushed Elijah down onto the couch straddling him. Elijah pushed him away
"Wait wait wait"
Damon stopped abruptly and looked at Elijah confused. Elijah still had his hands on Damon's hips.
"I'm leaving for New Orleans tomorrow"
Damon stared at him confused. Ok and ? He thought to himself, Damon would follow him to New Orleans if he'd ask him to. What's the problem.
"I don't do one night stands Damon. I can't just be with you tonight and then leave"
Elijah told Damon.
"So then don't."
Damon replied, he held his hands 
"Elijah, I'm not looking for this to be just a one night thing. I haven't wanted to be anywhere near Elena or anyone else from the moment I first met you."
He confessed smiling with those breath taking blue eyes. Elijah raised his eyebrows before quipping
"You mean when you drove a stake through my heart?"
Damon laughed
"Yh somewhere around there."
Elijah leaned in and kissed him again.
"Come to New Orleans with me"
Damon looked at him shocked. Elijah is not the kind of guy to act on impulse and this... this was impulsive. Damon began stuttering, he had so many questions. Where would they stay? What about Klaus? What about Stefan? What about his life here?
"You don't have to decide right now but I've been thinking about this for a while. We'd stay in my New Orleans home, with my family they wouldn't care or say anything, not to you. You'd have your own quarters or you could stay somewhere else if you're not sure"
Elijah laid it all out. Damon was silent. Which shocked him aswell because not a lot of people can render him speechless.
"Unless of course you don't want to if it's too much too soon you don't have to forget I said anything-"
Damon cut him off kissing him.
"Let's do it"
He hit him with his signature smirk. Elijah smiled.
"Yh?"
"Yh"
Damon replied. They wrapped themselves around each other kissing, content and excited for the future ahead.
