In Love with a Ghost
No ones pov
Elena was sitting alone in the Salvatore house. Damon had left it to her after they broke up and he skipped town. It seemed like everyone had skipped town and now it was only her. Well Matt of course was there but he spent most of his days patrolling the city.
She was aimlessly bored so she decided to do the one thing she does best, get drunk. She walked downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed one of the many bottles of wine she had in the cabinet.
She walked over to the couch and sat down not bothering to grab a glass. After she had finished two bottles of wine she sighed. "Lonely much?" She heard familiar voice ask and she jumped slightly as she looked to her right to see Katherine standing there.
"Okay now I know I'm drunk." Elena mumbled and Katherine pouted, "What? Not happy to see me princess?" She asked as she sat next to Elena.
"You're dead. How the hell are you in my house?" Elena asked and Katherine only shrugged. "Apparently you're the only one who can see me." Katherine said and Elena only sat there staring at her.
"A-Am I going crazy?" Elena asked and Katherine shrugged. "Probably." Katherine answered bluntly. They sat in silence for a couple minutes till Katherine groaned.
"Let's get drunk." Katherine said grinning and Elena shot her a look, "Im already drunk." Elena stated and Katherine shrugged. "Get drunker." She said bluntly as Katherine disappeared into the kitchen.
She then returned holding two bottles of wine and grinning deviously. She sat on the couch and popped a bottle open. "C'mon sweetheart, let loose." Katherine said and Elena sighed giving in.
She took a bottle out of Katherine's hand and popped it open, and they both chugged at the same time.
Later on that night they both somehow ended up in Elena's bed staring at the ceiling.
"What were you like when you were a human?" Elena asked curiously as she laid on her side so she was now facing Katherine who staring aimlessly at the ceiling.
"I thought you knew that answer due to what everyone else has told you." Katherine said bluntly. "There's always two sides to a story." Elena said bluntly.
"I was- I was caring." Katherine started simply as she continued staring at the ceiling and Elena continued staring at her. "I was naive, I wanted to find my Prince Charming and get married. Silly right? That's all I can really remember." Katherine stated bluntly.
"Oh there is one thing I remember quite vaguely. I loved the stars." Katherine admitted causing Elena to laugh. "Big bad Katherine pierce loved the stars?" Elena asked teasingly. "They were the one thing that gave me hope. I always believed there was something bigger to this life, something amazing." Katherine said softly and Elena continued staring at her.
"Boy was I wrong." Katherine added as she turned to face Elena. The next thing Elena remembers is falling asleep with Katherine next to her.
She had expected Katherine to be gone when she woke up, but instead she awoke to see Katherine sleeping next to her. Light snores escaping from her nose. Elena wondered if she really was going crazy.
But the fact that she wanted Katherine to stay was even crazier.
(Two months later)
Elena hated to admit it but she had grown extremely attached to Katherine over the last few months. She thought it was silly, becoming attached to a ghost. Sometimes she wondered if Katherine really was a ghost, or just a figment of her imagination.
But the way Katherine was talking to and looking at her felt so real. She never imagined that she would end up with Katherine Pierce, alone in the Salvatore mansion. She actually thought she'd end up with just about anyone else.
But surprisingly she was okay with the fact that every morning she woke up and Katherine was in her arms. "Who would've guessed that Katherine is a little spoon?" Elena thought to herself as she ordered food at the grill.
She was walking out and it was pitch black outside. "I woke up and you weren't there." She heard Katherine's voice say as she suddenly appeared next to Elena.
"I was hungry. So I got us something to eat." Elena explained, "There better be fries in that bag or I'm gonna leave you." Katherine threatened, but Elena knew she was joking. "Oh? Where exactly would you go?" Elena asked and Katherine huffed.
"Just tell me you bought me fries." Katherine grumbled and Elena giggled. "Actually I got myself fries." Elena said and Katherine pouted.
"But I suppose you can have some." Elena added noticing how cute Katherine was when she pouted. "I was gonna take them from you anyway." Katherine said bluntly and Elena rolled her eyes. "You are evil." Elena said and Katherine shrugged.
"It's what I'm known for babe, it's what I'm known for." Katherine said simply as they continued walking. "You're known for stealing fries?" Elena asked and Katherine huffed in frustration.
"Remind me again why I stay with you?" Katherine asked and Elena smirked. "Because I'm the only one who can be your big spoon." Elena said and Katherine's face flushed suddenly. "I can not control what I do in my sleep Elena." Katherine said as they walked into the mansion.
"It's okay. I like it." Elena said as the walked over to the couch. "You better cause it's not stopping anytime soon." Katherine mumbled and Elena smiled.
They sat on the couch as they watched "Pretty woman" and Katherine complained the entire time. "This movie is so stupid." She grumbled, and for some odd reason Elena found the way Katherine ate fries and complained oddly cute.
"It's a good movie." Elena said, "Yeah, and twighlights the best movie in the world." Katherine said sarcastically. "Okay yeah, twilight sucked." Elena admitted as Katherine changed the movie.
"Hey! I was watching that!" Elena complained and Katherine shrugged. "And now we're watching "wrong turn two"." Katherine said and Elena grumbled as Katherine stole a fry off of Elena's plate. "First you steal my fries, then my remote. What next?" Elena asked sarcastically and Katherine only flashed her an innocent smile.
(Four months later)
Elena was absolutely certain that she was crushing on Katherine. She was crushing on a ghost. And somehow Elena found that ghost ridiculously adorable.
Even though Katherine constantly complained about every little thing, somehow Elena could see beneath that. She saw that over the last six months Katherine had been enjoying herself.
Elena would have never guessed that she could possibly fall in love with Katherine pierce, but then again Elena never really guesses anything correctly does she?
But tonight every single thing that's happened before Katherine showed up didn't matter. She had decided to do something selfless for her and she could hardly contain her excitement.
"Katherine!" Elena yelled causing Katherine to fall out of bed and land on her face. "Ouch." Elena mumbled as Katherine stood up and glared at her.
"It's twelve a.m Elena, why'd you wake me up?" Katherine asked and Elena grinned at her. "Put this on." Elena said as she threw a blindfold towards Katherine who surprisingly caught it.
"Um why?" Katherine asked and Elena groaned impatiently. "Just put it on!" Elena said and Katherine only sighed in defeat as she put the blindfold on. "Okay no peeking!" Elena said as she grabbed Katherine's wrist.
She led her up the fire escape that led to the roof. "Watch your step." Elena said holding Katherine's waist. Katherine was about to say "I'm a ghost Elena, even if I fall it's not like I'll die." But she decided against it because she liked the way Elena was touching her.
As they walked up to the roof Katherine felt a cold breeze, "Take off the blind fold!" Elena said excitedly as Katherine removed the blondefold to see there was a big blanket sprawled out on the roof.
"What's this?" Katherine asked as she turned to Elena who smiled sheepishly. "Remember the first night you showed up, you told me as a human you liked the stars." Elena said and Katherine couldn't help but smile.
"I thought you were too drunk to remember." Katherine admitted and Elena shrugged. "Well I did." Elena said bluntly as she walked over to the blanket and plopped down. "Well don't just stand there kath, come lay with me." Elena said and Katherine walked over to the vampire and laid herself down next to her.
"The stars are beautiful tonight." Katherine admitted looking at the stars. Elena turned her head and stared at katherine, "Yeah, beautiful." Elena said breathlessly and she witnessed a blush creep upon Katherine's face.
"This is the sweetest thing anyone's never done for me." Katherine said softly as she sat up, Elena sat up too.
"In all the centuries you've been on this earth, being on roof with me, on an old blanket, and looking at the stars is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?" Elena asked uncertainly and Katherine only nodded.
"Guys never really took an interest in me for more than sex." Katherine admitted and Elena looked down. "Well I think you're great." Elena said and Katherine stared at her as if she wanted to protest, but instead she said nothing.
"Elena, do you think it's possible to fall in love even after you're dead?" Katherine asked staring into Elena's deep brown eyes that were so similar to hers, yet so different. "I don't know. Do you think it's possible to fall in love with someone who's dead?" Elena asked as they stared at each other intensely.
Katherine then grabbed Elena's face and smashed their lips together. Elena closed her eyes and kissed back, she's never not been able to feel someone yet still manage to feel so much.
Elena soon has to pull away due to the lack of oxygen. And as she does Katherine's eyes flutter open and her lips curve into a smile. "I haven't felt like this since- wow I don't think I've ever felt this." Katherine admitted breathlessly and Elena smiled widely.
