{ nobleblooded }

• though he'll never admit it, eli is super in love with elijah and will never miss an opportunity to be around him.
• they mainly like going to wine tastings.
• eli is always on his best behavior when the other is around, not wanting elijah to see him in the wrong light. he even gets nervous when feeding around elijah, afraid the other might be judging him.
• somehow and for some reason, eli managed to get elijah to play a drinking game with him. eli got drunk first and elijah won.
• the two of them were both drunk. eli kissed elijah first, and almost ran away in fear when he realized bc he didn't want to be murdered or worse— rejected.
• he thought he might have a heart attack when elijah actually kissed back.

• now elijah just shows up at eli's loft whenever he needs to... relieve some stress.
• eli doesn't complain bc he gets to see EvErYtHinG.
• he also doesn't complain in fear that elijah might want to stop seeing him. he also doesn't ask questions bc he believes elijah might get bored or scared off. he also believes he doesn't deserve someone as good as elijah, so he doesn't try to progress their relationship any further.

• "james... is that my tie?"
"i don't know what you're talking about, it's mine now."

• elijah is literally the only one who he allows to call him james, except maybe rebekah.
• elijah has managed to cockblock eli on multiple occasions when eli was trying to forget about the confusion that is their... 'relationship', leaving eli emotionally and sexually frustrated. but luckily elijah manages to ease the former almost every time.

• jealous glares at strangers when elijah isn't looking
• waking up in the morning next to elijah and struggling to not cuddle with him is excruciating

• "elijah, i'm going to have to consider giving you a key if you're going to keep clothes here as if you live here."
•piano playing and lots of classical music
• ohmygoodnessgraciousthischildjustwantssomeelijahlove

• "STOP BREAKING THE LOCKS ON MY HOUSE, YOU COULD JUST KNOCK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
"did you just yell at me?"
"... I'm trying to be mad at you, don't try to seduce me with your intimidating glare—"
"..."
* starts taking his clothes off * "FINE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SO INSISTENT—"
