HEART LIKE GLASS

18

Roman had left Alaric's apartment around five in the morning.
He had been worried when he got the call saying he needed to get to Georgia right away but never the less he made it quicker than he expected.
"You always show up at the most random times."
Roman smiled at the blonde.
"Roman Salvatore."
Niklaus smirked as Roman sat by him at the bar.
"How's the hunt going?"
Roman questioned, he knew Niklaus had been looking for the moonstone.
"Just as expected, god awful."
Roman chuckled at Niklaus.
"I need to ask something of you."
Nik's blue eyes pierced Roman's.
"Anything."
Roman said seriously.
"I'm afraid Elijah isn't as loyal as he used to be. I need you to call him here and find out if that is true."
"Niklaus I can't."
Roman shook his head as Niklaus narrowed his eyes.
"Why's that mate?"
Nik gritted out.
"He trusts me Niklaus, and if I knew he was against you don't you think I'd tell you?"
Roman hated it when Niklaus was angry at him for not doing things he found immoral.
"Of course I do but I expect you to go out of your way as well."
Roman sighed running his hands through his hair as he glanced at the soon to be hybrid.
"Anything else I could help with?"
"Just keep your eyes out for the moonstone, that's my biggest priority at the moment."
Niklaus sighed throwing back a shot.
"You'll find it soon, I have a feeling."
Roman nodded reassuringly.
"What about the dopplewench?"
"Damon believes he'll find her soon, I'll let you know if she shows up."
Roman didn't hate anything more than lying to Niklaus.
He hated lying to Elijah as well, Roman had always held the original family closer then most people.
"Of course you will."
Niklaus smirked at Roman.
"Now I've always assumed that you'd do as I ask regardless if Elijah is involved or not."
"Nik I can't take advantage of Elijah like that he loves me, and-"
Roman stopped himself thinking about Alaric.
"You what? You're starting to love him too?"
Klaus chuckled downing another shot as he stood grabbing Roman's chin and pulling him close.
"Don't forget who you loved first."
Roman always seemed to get lost in Klaus's eyes and he hated it, he no longer loved the original but he still was very loyal to Niklaus.
"I'll be in touch soon, thank you for meeting me."
"See you soon Nik."
Roman sighed running his hands over his face as he rested his forehead on the bar.
He always remembered what it was like with the original family.

"Where is Elijah?"
Roman asked the maid Niklaus had hired.
"He went to the tailors I'm sure but Niklaus is in his study."
Roman nodded and walked into Niklaus's study to see him painting, well he was staring at his painting.
Critiquing it.
"If you stare at it long enough you'll start to hate it."
Klaus chuckled as Roman walked up to him.
"Where's Elijah?"
Nik asked as Roman nodded his head.
"Maid said he was off to the tailors."
"My brother and you, is there something there?"
Niklaus questioned.
"No I don't think so."
Roman gulped nervously.
"I see, so you've taken a fancy to me then."
Niklaus smirked, for a few weeks Klaus and Roman had a fling.
"Niklaus-"
"Roman mate, you know of all people I don't do relationships. But Elijah he's right for you."
Roman nodded with a sigh.
"I'm not stupid Niklaus I know who you are."
Roman smiled at his best friend.
"Good Roman, I trust you'll seek Elijah out. After all I am surprised you moved on from your 'true love' so quickly."
Nik chuckled as Roman sent him a hard glare.
"Niklaus I've asked you many times to not speak of that."
"You're right, you're right. No matter lets go get a snack shall we?"

Looking back on what had went down those few months he spent in close quarters with the Mikaelson's he knew he did not truly love Niklaus.
He was simply trying to replace what he had lost.
Roman didn't understand how he and Elijah had come to share a bond but things moved too quickly around Roman.
The Salvatore had too many feelings that he kept bottled inside and wether he liked it or not soon enough he was bound to explode.
