because the vacancy in my heart is now a spot you hold [tag manof_myword and lovewhentheyrun]
It was the sun rays peeking through the opening of the heavy curtains that first stirred Elena awake as she attempted to turn her face away from the offensive light. Then she tried to move, to shift to her side, but the heavy arm resting across her middle and the legs tangled with her own made movement nearly impossible as she once again found herself trapped between two bodies pressed closely against her.
Klaus currently slumbered against her right side, the culprit who had the arm across her middle, and Elijah was on her left with his face pressed against the side of her own as he remained slumbering as well. Blinking softly against the light, she considered complaining till one of them got up to fix her problem but, as she had learned, waking Klaus was sometimes nearly impossible and somewhat dangerous as he hated being woken up before he was ready and she rather loathed making either one of them move at the moment as they both seemed rather content in where they were.
In fact, all three of them were rather content these days now that they were starting to figure out the workings of being in a relationship such as they were. Of course, it wasn't without it's issues as she had found being involved with Klaus was tricky all in itself but now with Elijah added in...
But she still smiled as she brushed a hand over Klaus's arm while tilting her head against Elijah's gently, marveling once more at how much had changed in three months since that fateful day Klaus had talked her into luring Elijah into their bed and their relationship....or whatever it was they were doing. There had been a few stumbles and at times she found herself walking on egg shells as she tried to balance everything between the two of them but so far it was working. So far they were all happy, happier than they had been in a long time, and she wanted to cling to that. Wanted to cling to how good she felt with them; how accepted and cared for she felt at times.
None of them had talked about the cure for a long time and she was fine with that. She wasn't even really sure that she wanted the cure anymore but she hadn't brought up the idea yet as she didn't know how Klaus would take it. Despite being involved as they were, she didn't want to rock the boat and risk his anger by telling him she didn't want to go back to being human because remaining a vampire would meant she couldn't make his hybrids anymore and she was pretty sure he wouldn't like that.
Unaware of how troubled she looked as she glanced at the window again, she let her thoughts wander a bit. She knew she should get up and wake them up so they could do whatever they had come to New Orleans for but it wasn't often she found a quiet moment just to think and so she remained still for a little while longer as she weighed her options of how to handle the unavoidable.
