SIRE-BOND OR NOT, HOPE MIKAELSON HAS ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF BRINGING HIM BACK TO EARTH. The overwhelming noise and bustle seems to fade in her presence, like they were never even there. His world narrowing down to breaths in sync, the sound of her heartbeat reverbating through his skull.

“No, it’s you. It’s ALWAYS been you.” Ever since he was a little boy, laying eyes on the amazing marvel that is, and always has been, Hope Mikaelson, Henry’s loved her in a way that surpasses all known language, all known thoughts. Just a deep understanding that he would do anything his Hope asked him to do, would lay his life down for hers without a second thought. (She didn’t need a sirebond to order him about, he would follow her into hell and beyond without complaint.)

“As your future husband, it’s my job to remind you that THIS WASN’T YOUR FAULT. It was my choice to turn, my choice not to speak up. You are not responsible for being manipulated, Hope.” Roman Sienna better hope he never sets foot on the same continent as Henry again or he’ll TEAR HIM APART.

He rises to bridge the gap between, arm curling to support her back as a hand reaches up, entangling in the soft locks of her hair. He leans into the touch, turning just enough to place a soft kiss on the inside of her wrist, grey eyes meeting blue. “ And i love you, Hope. I always have, and I always will.”

He mentions being her future husband and it reminds her that she could have taken her own children away.  If she STOPPED to think about it for more than three seconds there would be options running in her mind.  I gave him EVERYTHING that mattered to me.  His hands on her arm as she cried for her mama the days leading up to her death would HAUNT her still.

Her future is now in her control and Hope knows that she will marry this man and give him EVERYTHING that he wants.     Marry me.   Hope thought as his love and admiration washes over her in waves.  The soft kiss to her wrists,  his warmth and it is easy to get lulled into comfort.  She should be comforting him in the fact his life had gotten harder but she can’t.        ❝ I should have KNOWN that he was… ❞      a beat given as she swallows down emotion.        I could have had you a lot sooner.                                ❝ Did you even think about it before asking me? ❞ Hope swallows hard waiting the answer.        Did you THINK about what this meant?   Being a hybrid was a target on his back and hers.  It was a dangerous game and she doesn’t care because it meant she was his and he was hers.  Sometimes,  she hates this because he was not HIMSELF.

HE LOVES HER SO MUCH HIS HEART ACHES WITH IT. His beautiful girl with her blue eyes and kind heart, always worrying about everyone else but herself. (And hadn't that been exactly what Elijah Mikaelson preached? The salvation of her father's soul and the weight of the world on her shoulders.)

"You cant know everything, Hope. He was a damn good liar. It was never your responsibility to protect yourself from him. Dr saltzman should've done his research and NEVER let him in In the first place, let alone anywhere near you." Roman sienna used her and broke her trust in the worst way possible. Saw her as an abomination to be prevented instead of the little girl who healed butterflies just because she could. (Who saw a little boy grieving his mama and knew he needed a friend, even when she had every right not to give a damn.)

"I thought so, before. But.." no amount of mulling it over and considering all the consequences could've prevented him from the reality of what was coming for them, the storm brewing at home, needing only the smallest of nudges to break loose. Even if he had managed to stay in control amidst the overwhelming sounds and sensations, kept it together against the hunger and rage boiling beneath, his very existence was all they needed to point fingers, to justify their needless hatred and gather the vampires against a common enemy.

"I didn't think it would lead to this."

There is cotton candy crumb on the corner of the mouth of a handsome man that makes her stomach DRUM with a heart that skips a beat.  The faris wheel long behind them as they sit in the back of a car with a driver up front.  They had spent ALL DAY at the fair,  tasting everything that was greasy and riding anything that moved.  It had been the most worth while experience for someone that rarely before was able to go out an about.  The EIGHTEEN year old knows what her mother planned,  had seen the paperwork signing her life to another in a way that should make her ANGRY but the truth is Hope can’t be.   This is the life that she wanted.It protects me and my future.   Does he know?  Does he want the same thing? Hope never asked because when she found the papers at first?  She had been so UPSET that the fire burned inside of her bright and there was a fight with her mama that caused her to run to the arms of a killer and be easily manipulated.     ❝ It was the county fair,  I hardly think it was the BEST thing you have done in your life. ❞

He said he had the time of his life WITH her.  Not that he had fun there only.  It makes the smell of sweets against his lips feel like home and she wants to taste it.  It has been less than four months since Henry turned into a HYBRID    (  more like 3 months and two days ).     ❝ I have never been here though. ❞    a yawn pulling at lips,  a hand going to cover itself.I’m exhausted.   Guilt will eat at her later but for a second,  she forgets the troubles of her life and just focuses on him.

THIS WASNT HOW HE'D ENVISIONED HIS LIFE GOING ONCE HE'D DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO HYBRID-HOOD. It felt altogether sweeter than he deserved. Fair dates and trips beyond the boring, drearyness of Mystic Falls or the colour and jazz of the French Quarter. Fated to be together from a young age as they were, they knew it was entirely dependant on both them wanting it, so when Hope had started dating Roman sienna, he figured his chances were gone for good.

"Nobody expects anything from us here, though." Here, they were just two normal teenagers, albeit rich ones in hope's case, with her high end clothes and the literal driver taking them back to the Quarter. At home, the expectations of their positions will settle back in, the mantle of faction leader covering hope's shoulders like a cloak. (She'd never seemed more a queen than that but Henry had always preferred those moments just for them, when she'd smile and let her guard down, act the girl and not the figurehead.)

"Then we need to take you out more." A smile tugs at sugar-tinged lips, even the almighty future tribrid needs sleep sometime. A knowing look is cast her way, hand reaching out for her own, a search for permission before contact is made.

"I can keep watch, if you wanna get some sleep?"
