Claire's eyes flutter open. She sighs and tries to shift but can't. Her eyes look down and a small smile comes onto her lips. She sees a familiar brunette laying on her chest, his body resting between her legs.
She moves her hands from her side to wrap around him. Her right hand rubs his back while the other runs through his hair. He grips her tighter, snuggling into her chest more.
"Good morning" Claire's head rolls to the side. She smiles at Elijah. He's on his side, his head propped up on his hand. "How are you feeling?" He asks quietly. She doesn't answer right away. Truth be told, her head is pounding against her skull and her entire body feels extremely stiff. She looks around the room seeing Klaus laying on the other side of her, Henrik and Finn were both sitting in seats on either side of the bed. Everyone seemed to be asleep besides her and Elijah.
"What happened?" She whispers not wanting to wake them up. Claire's eyes reconnect with Elijah.
"Esther poisoned you." He whispers just as quietly. He can tell by the way she winces every now and then and the squint in her eyes that she has a headache. "We were able to figure out the counter curse to cure you."
"And Esther?" She asks.
"She got away. We're trying to find her but she's very cunning." Elijah says keeping his anger for his mother at bay. "How badly does your head hurt?" He asks.
"I feel like my brain is trying to force it's way out of my skull." Claire groans closing her eyes.
"Here, this should help." Elijah whispers. She looks at him. He bites his wrist and gives it to her. She drinks his blood. It doesn't take the headache away completely but it does help.
"Thank you" She mutters to him. He nods leaning over to kiss her forehead. She smiles leaning into his touch. He keeps his lips there as pure relief courses through his body.
"Are you hungry?" He asks softly. She takes a moment before nodding. He nods back before slipping out of the bed and leaving the room.
Claire looks back at the sleeping head on her chest. She continues to rub his back and runs her hand through his hair. She leans down and kisses the top of his head. He hums softly as he slowly wakes up.
"Good morning sleepy head" Claire smiles.
"Morning" Kol mutters shifting further up her body. He nuzzles his head into her neck letting out a slow sigh. "Claire?" He asked lifting his head.
"Hey hand-" Before she could finish he's pressing his lips against hers. She grins and doesn't hesitate to kiss him back.
