"Seriously, when is the last time you've decorated a tree?" Elena stood back with an amused look as she watched Elijah reaching to put the star on top of their Christmas tree. "And I mean you, not the servants ( Read more... )

Elijah was fussing with the star, because, really, with his obsession with things being perfectly arranged, how could he not? It was one of the reasons he rarely actually decorated things himself--it could take him forever. Taking the ornament he observed the tree carefully, looking for the best spot, spatially and relationally, head tilting as he studied it. Probably, he was driving her a bit mad with the exactness, but the tree would be kind of stunning when they were done, and he liked it, too ( ... )

Really, it was adorable to watch him fussing with the ornaments, looking for just the right spot to put each one so it was put together nicely. She was a little more sporadic as she liked to put things where she thought they looked nice. Yes, she was neat but she wasn't nearly as bad as him. Plus there was once or twice where she caught him moving an ornament from where she had placed it to where he thought it would fit better ( ... )

He didn't mean to move her ornaments. But there were spaces and others were crowded and it would drive him batty if he didn't fix it after a while.

Giving her a crooked smile, he shook his head a little. "We had them, now and again, but..." One eyebrow arched. "Do you really see my family sitting around decorating a Christmas tree?"

He sounded a little wistful, even if he was amused. It was a picture he wouldn't have minded having a memory of.

"You don't have to get me anything, you know." Having her in his life was enough.

"Maybe?" She shrugged a bit, considering it as she thought maybe she could imagine Rebekah taking part in decorating the tree. Maybe Klaus would have servants to do it.

Then she rolled her eyes with a soft chuckle. "I had a feeling you were going to say that." She smirked up at him. "But I'm still getting you something."
