@landon-chelon gets a random text starter

[Landon] You know...Lizzie is bothering the fuck outta me right now. [Landon] All the Saltzmans are. [Landon] Just her especially. [Landon] What do you say you will yourself into some fire powers and teach her a lesson? [Landon] It would make your girlfriend very happy.

[fablewoven]

Hope doesn't mean to be hesitant, but this started off as a conversation she wasn't even sure that she could get through and now they're in a better place. Well, at least she feels like they are. Sometimes she's wrong about these things, but she's so worried now that she's pushing Landon away without realizing it. Worse than that, she's realizing what she's doing way too late.

Trying to shake those thoughts off when he reaches his hand out to her, however, Hope manages a genuine little smile and takes his hand, automatically interlacing their fingers together. A meal together is at the very least an olive branch, and Hope's not stupid enough to reject that. If they want their relationship to survive, this is the first step to making sure that they're communicating, and that's so important.

"I think that sentiment goes both ways, Landon..."

She's hesitant, or at least that's the physical reaction he quickly notices. Apparently, she now has to take a deep breath to ask to join him for a bite to eat. He frowns slightly, appreciating the darkness masking his rigid expression as he pulls himself off the bed. He's not upset at her, far from it. If she feels like he's going to reject her in any way, his actions clearly caused such a response. He needs to work his ass off to fix her uncertainty; he reaches his hand out towards her as he murmurs firmly, "I don't want you ever thinking that I don't want you by my side. You're my favorite company, you always will be, now let's go eat."

@landon-chelon gets that semi-plotted text starter

Hope had been staring at that text for a very long time, actually having second thoughts about sending. Things had been so impulsive since she'd turned her humanity off, but there was nothing to ignore this anymore. Away from Lizzie...away from anything that was supposed to remind her of Landon, and now this.

She had been ignoring every single inkling--every single glaring sign--but after draining those three innocent people dry less than an hour ago, it was too hard to ignore it. She was pregnant. She was pregnant, and Landon was dead. Hope needed a support system, and while there was a voice deep down that said she needed to flip that switch, she couldn't do it. Honestly, she refused to let all that pain come in and crush her when she needed to be strong.

So, instead she had a new plan.

[Lizzie] Something tells me you weren't smart enough to block this number. [Lizzie] I know you're mad, but chill for a sec and talk to me.

Grumpy x Sunshine Starters - @landon-chelon mused: ❛  let's go outside and dance in the rain.  ❜

Hope quirked up an eyebrow at that, trying to figure out where in the world THAT had come from. She wasn't accustomed to being asked to go out in the rain, let alone to dance in it. Then again, Landon always seemed to have something up his sleeves, and she liked to be kept on her toes.

"Um...like outside?"

Ways to Say 'I Love You' Starters - @landon-chelon mused: ❛ No matter what, i'll always have your back. Please tell me I've proven that.❜

It bothers her more than she's ever been willing to admit, that every time a moment feels like it's going to be romantic, Landon has to tack on something like that at the end of it. Something that tells her that he doesn't think she's noticed. That, or that he feels like she hasn't told him happier, sappier things enough.

Of course it could just be that he's used to people telling him that he's a disappointment, but if he thinks that Hope is one of those people? Then they have a problem. That would mean that she's doing something incredibly wrong in this relationship, and making him feel like he's insignificant, and that breaks her heart if she's honest with herself.

"Landon...why do you think that you haven't?"

[fablewoven]

Random Asks - @landon-chelon mused: “Can you please be proud of me? Like fuck, I’m trying.” The words erupt in frustration, almost a cry--though unintentional--during yet another argument about him 'trying to help'. A repeated fight that he's been having with his Tribrid girlfriend. [Because everything Landon has ever done has gone unnoticed]

Hope was completely caught off guard with what her boyfriend had just said to her, but she had to admit...she wasn't exactly the type that praised ANYONE as much as they probably should be praised. That went doubly for Landon, as sometimes she might take advantage of the fact that he loved her so much that he was always on her side.

Even the greatest love could get derailed because of that, and a sinking feeling in her gut surfaced. She didn't give him enough credit. It was clear in the way that his outburst had come out. "You're right...I'm sorry, and you're right..."

[fablewoven]

It still surprised her how eager Landon was to show her affection, and after the time apart, it was hard not to immediately react by humming into the kiss. Then he was trailing down to her weak spot, and she had to curb a whimper at his lips on her neck and her collarbone. That was exactly how you got a girl to do whatever you wanted, and she had to be dragged back to reality with his words.

"I don't know, but somehow we are good at managing it," Hope responded, sighing a little and then wrapping her arms around him. "This is already far better than what I was suffering through with the twins. How are you tonight?"

After she entered his room and dropped her bag, his lips were quickly pressing against hers, brought on by impatience and longing. Pulling away, he peered up at her with a grin before starting a light trail of kisses down the side of her neck. He soon stopped his affectionate onslaught after reaching her collarbone, not exactly intending for his enthusiastic greeting to turn into sex, murmuring against her skin, "How is it possible to miss somebody after only a couple of hours?"

[fablewoven]

His reaction makes her laugh, and she shakes her head as she changes, moving to the bathroom to brush her hair with one hand as she texts him back.

[Landon] I'll remind you that you said that one of these days. [Landon] Not that I seem to have to.

Hope takes a minute to pull half her hair up, and then changes her outfit twice before she's ready to go see him. She shoots him a quick 'I love you more' text, and then grabs her shoes and heads off with a small bag of stuff. Just in case she has to do a walk of shame, she'd rather have fresh clothes to do it in.

Landon stands naked in the tiny bathroom that barely seems to house a toliet and shower, towel drying his black curls. His neck tilts to look at his phone when he hears it beep. He frowns at the message, his nose wrinkling.

[Hope] That's nasty, don't joke that way.

The idea of being sexual or even emotionally intimate with another girl when he's dating Hope causes his stomach to twist with disgust. He runs a comb through his wet hair and shakes his curls vigorously to get the excess water off them before turning off the light and returning to his room.

[Hope] Love you! See you up here.

[fablewoven]

Hope chuckled at his text, aware that honestly, probably no one else ended up in his room but her. Neither of them were having any sleepovers when they barely cared about the Super Squad any more. Well...that was more of Hope's thoughts than his, but she wondered if he cared either.

[Landon] I mean, if you're seeing someone else, better tell me now so that I can kill her...

That was MOSTLY a jest, but she smiled a little before she told the twins 'goodbye' and then went to change. It wasn't exactly a date, but she wanted to spend time with Landon more than she wanted to spend time with the twins. They deserved to have a calm evening more than anyone around here.

[Hope] As long as you're the one I'm sharing it with 🤣

Grabbing a towel and a fresh pair of clothes from his closet, he decides to hop in the shower quickly. Hope deserves a boyfriend who takes pride in his appearance, a guy who smells good, even for nights that aren't necessarily dates.

[fablewoven]

[Landon] I mean...jealousy then is putting it so mildly. [Landon] If you're good maybe you can have a treat too. [Landon] That's dependent entirely on you.

It takes her a moment, but she sighs as she sets her phone down for a moment, listening to the twins talk. It's not that she doesn't like them, it's just that sometimes she wonders if this is even worth it. What is the point in having friends, if they're always going to be passive aggressive about what makes you happy? Is that even real friendship?

[Landon] Hey...are you cool sharing your room tonight?

[Hope] No, you haven't. Never. I just meant that I have never thought about it... I've thought about my jealousy, but the only time I've ever seen you jealous was during, y'know, the whole Josie ordeal. I definitely saw jealousy after I looked back in hindsight 🤣

[Hope] Only if I get to treat you, too.

[Hope] Don't deny me that sweet pleasure. I love snacking on you just as much

[Hope] But there is nothing I love more than our naked cuddling. Sex included, believe it or not 🤣 As much as I enjoy being buried inside you, and that's a lot(you know 😉),I could stare into your eyes and hold you for eternity without making a peep of a complaint.

[fablewoven]

[Landon] I don't know why you think that I wouldn't be jealous--have I ever made you think that I don't want you? [Landon] I can't tell you all the details, Landon. [Landon] If I did, there would be no surprises at all. [Landon] However, part of making things up to is going to include you stuck in my room all night long, and trust me, you won't need clothes. [Landon] Hopefully, you'll also be way too tired the morning after to go anywhere. You'll practically be forced to snuggle me all morning. [Landon] Naked of course.

[Hope] I will forever be thankful that you get jealous, because it means you want me. I love that you want me. I want you just as much, always.

[Hope] You're leaving me in suspense on that how, and it's killing me slowly. Torturously slowly, babe.

[Hope] I need you... I just need you in the same room if you're so insistent on playing such a torturous dance. Clothes off, preferably, but I don't care. I just need to feel your lips on mine.

[Hope] Tell me how do I breathe without you here by my side, seriously? 😞

[fablewoven]

[Landon] You think that YOU'RE jealous, Landon Chelon?

[Landon] Yeah, if you think that your jealousy is why that's not a thing, then you clearly haven't seen me with other girls. I will eat them--and not in the fun way that I enjoy you as a snack.

[Landon] In the, I will wolf out and maim her way.

[Landon] There are a million ways to make things up to you, but I haven't figured out the HOW yet...just that I want to.

[Hope] Yep. We're not polyamorous, not that I could be. We've both seen how easily I get jealous, it's not pretty. They have no business putting any word in about our relationship, unless I was abusing you. But I'm most definitely not!

[Hope] Make it up to me, huh? In what way? I do wanna feel you... Been wanting to all day. Does that sound creepy? I just mean I want to feel your body on mine, that's what I'm craving. Even naked cuddling sounds amazing 😄

[fablewoven]

[Landon] They both think they know our relationship better than we do, and to be frank: it pisses me off. [Landon] I don't know, tonight is just... [Landon] I'd rather be with you. [Landon] Can I make it up to you?

[Hope] Wait, what do you mean by... either of them?

[Hope] What has Josie said about me? Other than I'm the asshole who broke up with her to be with her best friend, but in all fairness, I forgot you existed and I started a relationship with you first!

[Hope] I guess I'm surprised that she talks badly about me to my girlfriend behind my back..

[Hope] What do you mean by "girlfriend confidentiality" ? You feel there's something I'm not telling you?

[fablewoven]

At first, Hope had no idea what was happening, but she was worried that Landon was about to let her have it. That he was about to tell her every single thing that she had done wrong in their relationship. She wasn't actually sure if she would be able to handle that, however, and she was pleasantly surprised when he started to SING.

Hope couldn't remember the last time that he had sung to her, but she also wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. All she knew was that when she focused on the lyrics this time, she was just as much of a mess as she had been the first time. Actually, she was more of a mess, because this time she had been partially expecting some type of break-up song, or the like, and she was at a loss for words--something not all together uncommon, but it was a little strange. Especially when all she could right now was wipe some tears from her eyes for a moment and squeeze his hand back as it all sank in.

"I love you, Landon Kirby. I'm just not great at showing you without reacting first," Hope admitted, bringing his hand to her lips and kissing it. "I don't want to lose you, but I feel the same."

His heart floods with elation when she professes that he's still her love, but then as if a wave of freezing cold water hits him at the knees, it throws him into a frank realization that the problem wasn't really him questioning her love. Because I know she loves me.  Of course, I can't question that. The problem is… It feels like she loves me in a…  overbearing, unhealthy and insecure way… like any day she's going to lose me? As if it's safer to keep me wrapped in bubble wrap than to ever face the reality of me in a casket. His head shakes slightly. And I don't even need to remind her that she's right. I could easily die tomorrow. Biting his lip nervously, Landon turns to where he knows she's at despite the darkness hiding her face and opens his mouth to talk, well actually, to sing. "So, when I said forever," He sings quietly, "I really wondered why you ran, but I just need you to know that whatever happens," His hand blindly reaches for hers, his thumb caressing her knuckle, "know I'd rather lose you than to never have held your hand." His voice pauses, his hand squeezing hers lovingly. "If forever is just tomorrow, I wanna face it with you by my side and if our always," His tone grows louder, "is just one more day, then Hope Mikaelson," He laughs joyfully as he stops singing to speak, "that's one more day that you've changed my life and whatever happens down the road, I wouldn't change a thing."

[fablewoven]

She's glad to hear that he loves her, though she's not sure that she ever actually questions that. It's not his love that she questions, it's whether or not he wants to be with her despite how frustrating she can be. He knows firsthand just HOW frustrating she can be, and that was part of why this whole thing had spiraled out of control. She wasn't good at taking criticism, and she wasn't good at having Landon be mad at her. Luckily, it seemed like they were going to be able to salvage this. At least if they were both willing to work on this.

"No, I haven't eaten yet," she admits, taking a deep breath. She honestly wasn't sure what had stopped her from eating, but stress did that to a person. Not that it happened to Hope all that often--she was almost always hungry. "If...if you're okay with me coming with you, we should definitely get some food."

Her lips against his hand makes him grin appreciatively. A quiet groan erupts from his throat as he relishes in the feeling of their closeness, yet it ends far too quick for his liking. If only she would kiss me again, he inwardly begs, surprised that he feels so emotionally deprived after an innocent kiss on his hand. But he supposes that since his love spent even a few days barely acknowledging his existence, it makes sense for him to feel this way. "I love you, too." Landon whispers sincerely, but coughs awkwardly to hide the sound of his stomach grumbling with hunger. Right, he skipped dinner. "Hey," He asks abruptly with a small laugh, "Have you eaten dinner yet? Because I kinda skipped it… to talk to you." He grins sheepishly.

[fablewoven]

[Landon] For starters that I don't appreciate them always assuming that I enjoy saving the day. [Landon] And second that I don't care about their opinions if they're going to be dicks about them. [Landon] I do love them most of the time, but I don't think that they respect me or what I want. [Landon] I also don't appreciate how either of them talks about you.

[Landon] I'd like to think that girlfriend confidentiality is also a thing...

[Hope] Maybe it would be easier if first you told me everything you wish that you could say.

[Hope] Boyfriend confidentiality is a thing, right? 🤣
