🖤 — isla & elijah

SEND ‘🖤 + PAIRING’ FOR ME TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

my muse’s initial impression of yours

elijah first met isla through an open night at carat. he was fairly new to the neighbourhood at the time and jacob took him to the event so he could get to know the people who lived around the area. when they both walked in, isla was already in the middle of performing a song. elijah immediately thought that she had a really pretty voice and that she was really pretty herself too. throughout the night, he would often see isla staring at him before looking away when he'd make eye contact. she finally introduced herself to him after he did an impromptu performance of sunday morning (after being forced by jacob the entire night).

my muse’s favorite physical attribute of yours

elijah adores isla's voice. he loves to hear her sing and finds it so comforting when she does so. isla's voice is also the first thing that really drew him towards her when he first heard her at that open mic. he definitely likes to compliment isla's voice on regular basis.

my muse’s favorite personality attribute of yours

elijah loves how straightforward isla is. she's very open about her feelings and elijah appreciates it because it means that he doesn't have to keep guessing with her. he's a bit dense and the last thing he'd want is to misinterpret whatever isla has to say, her direct manner makes it easy for him to really know how she's feeling.

a moment that made my muse realize how much they care about yours

elijah realised he really cared about isla when she randomly called him one night. he was already in his pyjamas, ready to go to sleep when he heard his phone ring. he instantly picked it up when he realised it was isla calling. she basically called him to ask if he could pick her up and bring her home. elijah didn't even have to think twice. he immediately went to grab his keys and went to find isla. when she opened the door to his car the first thing she said to him was 'why are you wearing your pyjamas'.

something my muse never found the words to say to yours

elijah never found the words to confess to isla how he really felt about her, she simply beat him to it. when he started to develop feelings for her, he really did want to tell her, except he wasn't quite sure how to admit his feelings. he asked jacob for advice a couple of times but obviously he was no help. he didn't get to tell isla how he really felt until she confessed first.

something my muse wishes they had never said to yours

elijah wishes he noticed isla's advances a lot earlier and didn't brush them off just because he didn't understand she was flirting with her. he did have feelings for isla early on but he never really acted on them because he believed that isla just saw him as a friend. he once heard in passing that isla was quite bold and that's why he thought that she was just flirty with everyone around her. elijah wishes that he never responded to any of her flirting with something that indicated he wasn't romantically interested in her.

something your muse does that makes mine feel safe

isla's overprotectiveness is something that makes elijah feel safe. a lot of people might find her a little bit too overbearing when she's like this, but elijah actually likes it a lot. it just shows him how much isla cares for him and how she'll go out of her way to protect him.

something your muse does that makes mine smile

isla singingly loudly in the car will always make elijah smile. he loves how whenever they get into his car, isla will just automatically turn the radio on, pick song off their playlist, and immediately start singing as loudly as she can. although he's never going to admit it, elijah also secretly loves it whenever isla forces him to learn a uni:verse dance with him. it always makes him happy to see her smile whenever he agrees to learn some choreo.

something my muse wants to protect yours from

elijah is very chill going and there isn't really anything that he feels like he needs to protect isla from. he knows that she's more than capable of taking care of herself and that she doesn't really need any protection from him. if i'm being honest, i kind of think that it's elijah who needs protection from isla.

ways my muse says ‘i love you’ without saying those words

the way that elijah would literally drop whatever he was doing to help isla just shows how much he loves her. elijah will literally say yes to anything that isla asks. from driving her to places or picking her up, buying her the concert tickets to see her favourite artists, or even just buying her her favourite drink before they meet up because he knows she'll like it. elijah also likes to show his love for isla through compliments. he'll always compliment her outfits, her hair, and her voice whenever he can.
