It makes her feel greedy and special and wanted in a way she never has as he casts aside any plans he might have had. Her hands slide up his chest and over his shoulders until her fingers lace together behind his neck. Black veins spread beneath her eyes and her turns wicked with a flash of fangs.

"I think I'd like to hunt with you. Then... do any number of unspeakable things. Though, I'll warn you, many of them require much less clothing. Perhaps a set of restraints I can't break through. I've been gone so long. You want to tie me up so I can't escape again, don't you?"

Elijah feels warmth flooding through him at the close contact, his lips brushing gently back against her own as she speaks. He doesn't pull away, because she doesn't either, and why would he want to?

"Whatever they were doesn't matter much now, does it?" He smiles, resting his forehead against hers for a moment before he straightens so that he can look down at her properly. She's so beautiful, and the smile on her lips is just captivating. He curls his other hand around her hip and pulls her a step closer to him, smiling down at her like he can't quite help himself. "You have my undivided attention." He assures her, as though that were ever in question when she was around.

The world falls into place the moment he locks eyes with her. She smirks and holds her ground as, between one blink and the next, he finds himself before her. He's beautiful. And he smells...

She inhales deep, her eyelids fluttering as his touch burns a trail across her cheek. Before she can answer his question, she's pulled in for a kiss that makes the rest of the city disappear. If Elijah Mikaelson looks good. And smells incredible. There's nothing adequate to describe the way he tastes. As their lips part -- barely -- she smiles. "I arrived just as you and Kol were leaving the compound. I've been trailing you since. I didn't want to risk interrupting the two of you." She darts her tongue out to caress his bottom lip. "What are your plans tonight?"

Elijah gave Kol a nod as his brother told him he was leaving to go and find Davina, and he moved to take a step forward to head back to the Compound-- when he caught scent of her. His brows lifted a little, and he turned to face the wind, his gaze sweeping the crowd. His mind could be playing tricks on him... He's wanted to see her for some time, after all. But, no-- there she is. Elijah blinked, his gaze locking on hers, and then he moved, quickly. In a blink he was in front of her, a smile on his lips as he reached up to cup a hand against her cheek. He almost couldn't believe she was there. "Mara... How long have you been back?" He asked, dragging his thumb across her cheek as he just about resisted the urge to lean down and sweep her into a kiss immediately.

How long had it been?

Months. Eight months. Well, ten days shy of eight months, if she wanted to be specific. And now she stood across the darkened and crowded street, watching him speak with Kol about something. Watching him gesture with one hand while the other slid into his trousers pocket. The quirk at the corner of his mouth. The subtle narrowing of his eyes. It was all so immediately familiar.

The wind shifted through her hair taking, Mara suspected, her scent to him. He would notice, she thought. Hoped. Needed. If not, she would keep following until he knew he was being hunted. Then the game would really be on. “Gods, I’ve missed you,” she breathed.

[polymusepotion]

killing craven has never been this much fun. but when it comes to fighting alongside his queen, cas never fails to enjoy himself. with delano near her and kieran watching her back, he relaxes a little. even though there's always that pinch of concern for her well-being. she doesn't need his protection, but he'd stand in front of any blade, any foe, to keep her from knowing another moment of pain. she's had enough of that.

he sneaks a glance her direction, flips a lock of hair off his forehead, and winks. his right dimple pops as the corner of his mouth tugs into a smile. he throws a dagger to the left of her head, a move she would be proud of, and spears another between the eyes. "sixteen, princess. you're fallin' behind."

kieran steps closer to poppy, nudging her free hand with his forehead. are you hurt meyaah liessa?

the tall , dark-clad figure isn't difficult to spot , nor does she have any real , logical reason to be concerned about his well-being , but the sight of him does cause the tightness in her chest to ease . muscles in her shoulders relax , from her side , the light colored wolven brushes against her leg before turning back towards the village . he hasn't spotted her yet , but it's only a matter of moments until he does , and she spends it dragging the still-bloodied blade of her dagger along her now-ruined cloak before calling out . ❝ twelve . ❞ four of those were with the aid of delano , but they count nonetheless . twelve dead by her own blade , but judging by the state of his , she's still lost their unspoken competition . / @polymusepotion + ya know , the thing is , you did this to me .

“We love what we love. We don’t need to justify it to anyone… not even to ourselves.” (Sebastian)

meme || accepting

his initial instinct is to cast off the words with a flick of his wrist. noah's simple belief and fathomless trust in sebastian is too easy. to him, it's like saying the ocean is blue. when in reality, it's blue and green and grey and black and purple. red and orange and yellow and pink under a setting or rising sun. sometimes it's every color. sometimes it's none at all. love is like that. complex. layered. there are reasons behind it. it's not as cleanly defined as what noah makes it seem, is it?

but then... the ocean is still the ocean. whether it's the deepest waters amongst shipwrecks or collected in a jar and brought to land. no matter the colors it presents itself as. no matter its temperature or temperament.

we love what we love.

and sebastian loves noah. it doesn't matter if he sees himself as a villain while noah will always be a hero. he loves noah.

we don't need to justify it to anyone.

and he has. in the past. he's tried to justify why he deserves to love noah. why noah deserves to be loved. why sebastian has no control over the way he feels. who would, where noah is concerned?

not even to ourselves.

that's the hardest part. not accepting he's in love. that was... surprisingly easy. once the word formed in his mind, sebastian knew it was right. and he knew it wasn't something that just happened to him, but something he chose for himself. i loved you on purpose, he read once. and doesn't that fit here? no, the hardest part is convincing himself he has any right to love this man. any right to be loved in return. but noah... he's saying sebastian doesn't have to convince himself. he can just... let it happen. because who they are to each other surpasses reason and justifications.

he meets noah's gaze and the fight leaves every muscle of his body. they love each other not in spite of who the other is. or because of it. who they are to the rest of the world holds no weight in what they feel for each other.

"you're right," sebastian says. he takes noah's hand and laces their fingers together. "i've always looked at love as this complicated thing. and it is. there have always been reasons behind it. but the act of loving?" he lifts a shoulder in a shrug. "that's really quite simple, isn't it? so, here's the truth of it in its most basic form. i'm in love with you. and it's the kind of love that has always been and will always be. you're stuck with me, noah. i hope you know that."

“You must be made of magic itself. Your touch is warm.” (Emma)

meme || accepting

sometimes emma is convinced noah isn't real. like he's some being from her dreams or a character from one of her favorite books. god, hadn't she listened to her brother flirt with girls for years while they were teenagers? the things he would say on the phone or whisper in their ears while forgetting she was close enough to hear. many of those things had made her blush. some had made her cringe. because, really, did people have to lay it all out there like that?

after a few disastrous set-ups and a couple tinder dates -- thanks to cece insisting emma needed to get out there if only to see what the world had to offer -- emma had convinced herself the answer to that question was not much.

but then there's noah. noah, who's wildness reminds her of the sea. (she used to think he was like the snow in the rocky mountains. beautiful. sometimes silent. sometimes destructive. but that was before she'd ever dipped her toes in the ocean. now she knows better.) noah, who gives the best hugs and tends to sit upside down in chairs more often than not. noah, who's constantly on the move, churning, flowing, rising and falling like the tide. and who, in the quiet moments, says the sweetest things to her.

there have been many nights when she's pressed cold fingertips and toes, her frosty nose, to his skin, searching out his heat. but here, now, in the balmy night air under a half-moon, while they've snuck off to a private beach and dove into the water together, it's as if noah has taken on the temperature of the sea. he's the magic one. her skin, she thinks, has stayed the same. she's as warm as the air around her dictates.

but she likes that noah calls her magic. she likes the way he looks at her as if she's starlight on the open sea. so she doesn't contradict him. instead, she smiles and wades closer, into his arms, and kisses the corner of his mouth.

"i think," she hums. "the magic comes from us being together. without you, i'm just a lone girl floating in a giant ocean. but with you? no matter where in the universe i am, i'm home. i'm safe. i'm happy. i'm warm. if i'm magic, it's because you make me that way."
