Beautiful Disaster

Episode 27- Bargaining Chip

Elion stared at Damon, silently. Damon stared back, feeling his confidence slowly fading.

"Would you say something," Damon asked.

"Give me a second. I'm currently having a mini panic attack," Elion said, calmly.

Damon huffed out a chuckle and got up. He sat next to Elion, pressing a kiss to his neck.

"Yes."

"Hm," Damon hummed, wanting to hear it again.

"Yes. I will marry you," Elion repeated, grinning at him.

Damon slipped the engagement ring on his finger. Elion pulled him into another prolonged kiss.

"Got enough energy to go again," Elion asked.

"Do you even have to ask," Damon smirked.

Elion guided Damon on his back for another round.

Two weeks later, Elion woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing. He looked at the screen before answering the call.

"Hello?"

"You didn't call me. I was worried I'd have to track you down," Damon said.

"I've been busy."

"With," Damon asked.

"Trying not to eat your brother," Elion said, refusing to mask his sarcasm.

Damon let out a small irritated sigh. Stefan had stolen the coffins containing the Mikaelson siblings, including Elijah.

Elion wasn't happy with his father being used as a bargaining chip. But his humanity off, Stefan didn't care about how he felt.

So due to his frustration, Elion took off with Katherine, leaving Mystic Falls behind until Stefan returned him.

"This feud that you two are having is immature," Damon complained.

"How's Mystic Falls," Elion asked, abruptly changing the subject.

"Oh, y'know, the usual. Parties, vampires, people dying and coming back to life," Damon said, "I'm pretty sure Bonnie and Jeremy died twice while my back was turned."

"That's not funny, Damon. I'm trusting you to look out for those kids," Elion scolded.

"I know, I know. Bonnie is working on opening one of the coffins that Stefan stole," Damon said, "Apparently, it's sealed pretty tight."

"Do you need help? I can come back. I may not be Bennett blood, but if I drink some of hers, I could mimic her power," Elion offered.

"And end up having Stefan's heart for dinner? No thanks. We'll figure it out," Damon said.

"Okay, keep me updated," Elion asked, yawning.

"Don't tell me you're falling asleep on me," Damon teased.

"I'm fine. I just woke up."

"What? No sex partner to keep you busy while we're apart," Damon asked.

"I'm quite certain that I might accidentally fuck someone to death if I tried," Elion smirked, "And every vampire I come across usually gets their heads torn off."

"You hate Stefan, but you copy his moves," Damon taunted.

"What can I say? He's inspirational," Elion teased back, "And I don't hate him. I never have."

Damon huffed out a chuckle.

"Tell me if you need my help out there. I'll return for you," Elion said, "I love you, Damon."

"I love you too, E," Damon smiled.

"Aww..."

Elion heard Damon cursing at Alaric before hanging up. He laughed lightly while getting up to get dressed.

Damon received a text from Bonnie, warning him that Klaus was coming for the coffins.

He quickly got up and ran for the locked coffins. But not before stopping at Elijah's coffin first.

"Look, I'm taking a risk by doing this, but between us, Elion loves you. He won't come back until he knows you're safe. And we need our secret weapon," Damon said, removing the dagger.

He placed a note in his pocket along with a blood bag, then closed the coffin. While Damon cleared out the sealed coffin, Elijah opened his eyes.

"Elion," Elijah whispered.

Elion finished his shower and got dressed. He walked out to meet Katherine but froze as he heard the whispering of spirits.

"Elijah... He's here... He's alive... Elijah is alive... Your father is awake... Mystic Falls..."

"Dad," Elion asked, lifting his head.
