The Vampire Diaries Imagines

Elijah Mikaelson--Bad Things Happen

Imagine being in love with your best friend Elijah when your son falls ill

You watched with a smile as your long-time friend Elijah placed a cup of tea by your ailing son's bedside. You couldn't help but wish that he saw you in the same light that you did, but you knew that he never would, so you did your best to banish any lingering thoughts about him.

"How are you coping with this?" He asked as he came and joined you.

"A lot better than I thought I would be." You replied. "Thank you so much, for all you've done for us, you didn't have to do this."

"Nonsense, I love you." He told you with a warm hug, but that only frustrated you even more, as he didn't love you in the way you wanted him to.

"Thanks." You said curtly as you broke away from the hug. "I'm going to go talk to the doctor for a second."

He gave you a puzzled look, but nonetheless allowed you to leave him and walked towards your son's doctor.

"Y/N, is something wrong with Rory?" He asked you with a winning grin. "I assure you, your son will be fine in a few more days. You and your boyfriend don't need to worry."

"Boyfriend?" You asked in confusion.

"Elijah." He replied.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just assumed—"

"No, don't apologise." You told him. "He's always here, I can see why you would think that, but no, we're just good friends."

"Well that's great news for me." He said with a smirk. "Because I think you're gorgeous. And I was super jealous of him this whole time."

You looked at him in surprise and noticed how strikingly handsome he was. He had dirty blonde eyes, and cute brown eyes and a charming grin. Plus, he was a doctor, which was always a plus. He was no Elijah, but Elijah didn't want you. This cute doctor did.

"You're funny." You said with a small smile, shyly tucking your hair behind your ear.

"So, Y/N, are you free on—"

"No, she's not free, because her son is in the hospital." Elijah said, suddenly appearing in between the two of you.

"When did you get here?" The doctor asked in confusion.

"Look at you, preying on a vulnerable woman, just because her son is ailing!" Elijah snapped. "You should be ashamed of yourself—"

"Elijah!" You snapped, causing the Original to turn and face you sheepishly. "What the hell is wrong with you? Dr John was just being nice to me, not taking advantage of me!"

"Y/N I—"

"No." You told him. "Just leave Elijah! Because you're just making things worse. So just—so just go."

He gave you a saddened look, but nodded before exiting the hospital. The doctor gave you a small smile, but knew better than to ty and court you now, so you went back to your son's room.

"That was a big fight you had." Your son Rory said feebly as you sat beside him.

"You heard that?" You asked with a groan.

"Pretty sure the whole hospital heard that." He said with a small chuckle.

"I just—I don't understand why he was being such an ass." You told him. "I was finally gonna go on a real date with a hot dude."

"It's because he likes you." Your son said with a cough.

"What?"

"Yeah, he likes you. How did you not know that?" He asked with a roll of his eyes.

"Are you—"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Should I—"

"Yes, you should go after him."

"Is it—"

"Yes it's okay for you to leave me." Your son said, finishing your sentence once again. "Just go!"

You gave him a small kiss on the top of his head before rushing out of the hospital doors. You looked around the car park knowing that he wouldn't have strayed far.

"Elijah!" You called out and in an instant, he had appeared by your side.

"Y/N, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have—"

"Do you have feelings for me?" you asked him outright. "Rory thinks you have feelings for me, do you?"

"Yes." He said hesitantly.

"How long?"

"From the moment I met you." He replied and you sighed deeply, pressing you hand against your forehead in frustration before sitting down on the hospital steps.

"I told you how I felt about you, three months ago, you told me it would never happen." You muttered. "Do you know what that did to me?"

"I'm sorry." He said quickly as he sat down beside you. "I didn't want you to get too close to me."

"Why?"

"Because you have a life, you have a son and being involved with me could hurt that." He explained to you. "I couldn't bear it if either of you were to get hurt because of me.  Even now, I've hurt you."

"Elijah—"

"Please, do not bother yourself. Your son is sick. You have enough to be worried about."  Elijah said as he got up and straightened his suit before walking away from you. You chuckled as only he could show up to the hospital in a suit.

"You are so stupid." You told him with a chuckle. "My son is in hospital because he's ill, no vampires, no witches and no wolves involved. Just normal human things. Bad things happen with or without the supernatural. I'll keep myself and my son safe, I've been doing it for 15 years of his and 31 years of my life."

"Does that mean...?"

You ran to him and pulled his face towards yours, kissing him sweetly. As your lips collided, you felt as if your lips were meant to fit one another's like a lock and key.
