she takes in a breath as her gaze drifts down to their hands. trying to find the perfect thing to say was like grasping at smoke. it would be cruel to continue feigning ignorance. she knew that, but her mind was a mess of unfinished and unexpressed thoughts and feelings, and to pull max into that mess felt needlessly cruel as well. " max— " her eyes meet his again and her lips part before her mind finishes forming the sentence. " i don't ... right now, the way i feel about you is the only thing i'm sure of and i don't want to mess everything up. not with you. i don't— i will tell you anything you want to know— "

❛ of course i'm happy. but i'm also frustrated. it's ---- ❜ he sighs &* reaches over , taking her hands to give them a little squeeze. ❛ it feels ... harder than usual to talk to you. ❜

The smallest of smiles settles on her lips as she attempts to appreciate everything in this moment. Very few people were given the privilege to see her in such a vulnerable state. The blonde often prided herself on the mystery that shrouded her reputation, her heart being known to very few. That's the way she liked it. And yet, Ryan managed to break through her defences. A part of her wants to pull herself away from him, to recant everything she said and play aloof, but none of the sentiments she uttered tonight were lies. She meant every single word and it was truly terrifying. Not only to have such intense feelings but to share them with the person who held her heart in their hands. She could never know what was truly in his head, but she could see true tenderness and honesty in his eyes while he spoke. Ryan was different from anybody she had ever met. He had this inherent warmth that she had come to cherish. "Good," she replies softly, raising a hand to gently cup his cheek. "Looks like you're stuck with me then, Atwood ... hope that doesn't make you nervous."

He gasped as he heard those words, as he felt them. And a little smile played on his lips when they touched hers. The fact that Marissa wanted him, that she chose him out of all those who seemed to be far more worthy than this kid from Chino, always seemed unreal – but he felt that it was real. Never had he thought someone would feel this strongly for him, everyone had always abandoned him and he had built these walls around him that protected him, but also prevented him from feeling anything real. Until her. Until Marissa came into Ryan’s life and from the moment he saw her, he knew he would try and be what she wanted him to be. To give her what she needed.

He broke the kiss slowly, again and again returning to kiss her lips softly. Ryan still held her close, he leaned his forehead against hers and looked into her beautiful eyes. He spoke softly and a bit out of breath. “I will always be there for you, as long as you want me.”

" ― i don't know what you're talking about. " the sheer speed of zoey's response gives her away but she presses on, frantically searching for a way to shift the conversation. " have you seen ― " she begins tenuously, but loses steam just as quickly as she gains it before essentially blurting out, " i mean— you're happy, right? " ░ @wasntfair

❛ i miss the old ways. ❜ a pause ; a frown. he knows it shouldn't be difficult to talk to zoey ---- &* maybe that's exactly why he is talking to her. so he takes a breath. ❛ you ... didn't have to change. ❜ ▐ ✧ *   @wildschemes  / swiftie starter.

Marissa melted into him the instant his lips pressed against hers. Eager to show him that she meant every single word, she pulled him even closer towards her and returned his kiss feverishly. There were often many words left unsaid between them but never an emotion unfelt or a desire unexpressed. Ryan's kisses were imbued with his love and care for her. He was the thing missing in her life. She was sure of it. "I want you," she whispered against his lips amid their kisses. "And I will always want you."

Ryan looked at her attentively, his eyes never leaving her face as she spoke. And those were more than words, he felt it, felt it in every bone of his body. He didn't let her finish. Leaning over, his hand cupped the back of her head and he pulled her into a kiss. Not holding back any of his feelings now, his lips urged against hers, kissing her, holding her, as if she was the most precious thing in his world – which she was.

"Perfection is overrated— my entire world was perfect. The perfect family, the perfect clothes, the perfect reputation, the perfect life ... but none of it was real. It was all just a distraction from what was really happening— but you. You're the first thing I've been sure about in a long time, and I—"

The brunette resisted the urge to smile, still resolute in her desire to stay 'asleep' for as long as she possibly could, but even she had to admit that @salvatoreseer's energy and general positivity were infectious. It almost made her want to get out of bed. Almost. However, when she can feel the warmth of the sun against her skin, Elena knows the time for sleep has officially come to an end. She admits defeat by reluctantly opening her eyes to see the bright and beautiful day outside her window and her friend as she hurries back to her side. "Over?" She chuckled, shifting once again in bed. "Some stores won't even be open yet, people are crying into their coffees right now." She took in a breath as her eyes adjusted to the light and turned to face Ellie. "So tell me, what did you see? Where did we go?"

"Because I'm not asleep anymore. Duh!" Ellie's tiredness was clearly non-existent. It wasn't that vampires never slept, but oh, she was far too excited after seeing the flash of prophetic visions which informed her that she and Elena would hang out. It had felt so long since she had a girls day! Least ... with someone who knew she was really a 161 year old vampire ...

"Yeah, but you're going to get up anyway. May as well make it now!" Ellie bounced over to the window to pull the blinds back. The morning sun lit up Elena's room. It was almost as bright as Ellie's dimpled smile! In the next second Ellie was back by the girl's bed in a flash, whining in a childlike manner, "Come on, Elena, it's 7:30! The day is practically almost over!"

[wildschemes]

At the sound of the other’s voice, Elena groans softly and shifts slightly in bed as she is reluctantly pulled out of her slumber by the brunette. “Why are you awake so early?” She asks, voice thick with sleep as she refuses to open her eyes and admit that Ellie’s attempt at rousing her awake had worked. Although she had once happily jumped out of bed for cheerleading practice, that version of herself was far removed from the person she had become. “—Are you sure you didn’t see me enjoying a sleep-in?”

@wildschemes ♥ ( ELENA ) liked for a starter

Ellie been staring at the sleeping girl for a little while - face so close their noses almost touched and a wide dimple grin stretched ear to ear - before finally deciding to make known her presence. Unfortunately it wasn't the best of ideas Ellie had to wake Elena Gilbert up. After all, surely there was another way ... "Elena! Wake up! I'm bored and we're going to hang out today. I saw it!"

NICK.

@wildschemes sent rachel x nick — ❛ seeing you happy is all that matters. ❜

her words make him chuckle softly. “rachel, you are what makes me happy.” he tells her, his tone of voice and eyes full of sincerity as his hand reaches up to gently brush his thumb against her cheek. “i’ve never been happier than when i’m with you.” he adds with a slight shrug of his shoulders. “and at the end of the day, i’m going to always choose you, rachel chu.” the corner of his lips upturns with a slight smirk at the silly little sentence that had left his lips. it was on purpose, but hearing it said aloud is even more amusing than in his head. “so screw it. i want to be with you, consequences be damned.” it’s a big decision, one that’ll upturn his entire life if they go through with it, but the last thing he wants is to lose the love of his life.

“nick,” his name leaves her lips in a whisper as her thoughts race. if she had known that this was what she was walking into, she may have made different choices, spoken different words, and dressed differently. anything to change the course of events that followed, but logically, she knew that there was nothing she could have done to avoid this. “if we were the only two people in this world, i’d run away with you in a heartbeat. no questions asked,” she begins as the lump in her throat rises. “—but we are not the only two people in the world and i can’t let you give up your family for me.” she pauses, suddenly unable to think of anything else except the look on eleanor’s face and the callous way she spoke to her. “i can’t let .. i won’t stand between you and your mother.”

ELEANOR.

@wildschemes​ sent drea x eleanor — ❛ i haven’t laughed like this in a long time. ❜

her laughter slowly dies down as she hears drea’s comment. “me neither,” she tells her honestly. ironically, the girl in front of her is the very reason she hasn’t been able to laugh in quite a while. going into this, she wasn’t expecting to like drea as much as she now does. she’s finding herself genuinely enjoying their time spent together and having fun with her. it almost makes her feel bad that she’s pulling a fast one over on her. keyword: almost. after all, drea torres is the entire reason she’s so damn miserable. “i wish we had met sooner.” she tries, figuring there’s no way drea’s going to have a moment of realization, but maybe there’s a part of her holding out hope that she will.

when her reputation shattered into a million pieces in front of her, she assumed that her life was over — then came eleanor and their devious and delicious revenge plan. it felt good to be excited again, to make her former friends and boyfriend pay for what they did to her. she had spent months with them at parties, gossiping about their classmates, keeping them happy and satiated, only to be tossed aside at their earliest convenience. it wasn’t fair and they would pay. eleanor was a big part of that. she was her spy, her woman on the inside who was dedicated to taking them all down. at the blonde’s reply, she stills and carefully considers her own response. frankly. drea couldn’t be sure that eleanor would have made the cut had they met while she was still campaigning to be the it girl. “—do you think we would have been friends, though? back then?”

SCHNEIDER.

@wildschemes sent penelope x schneider — ❛ do you think we’re friends in every universe? ❜

“are you kidding me?” schneider scoffs at the question as if it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard — because honestly, it kind of is. he can’t possibly imagine any universe in which he and penelope aren’t friends. the woman had become such an integral part of his life, they were pretty much family now. “no,” he says, keeping his face somber for a moment. “i think we’re best friends in every universe.” after finishing his sentence, the serious expression breaks out into a grin. “family, even. because that’s what you are to me, pen. you, lydia, alex and elena. heck, even doctor berkowitz.”

his answer doesn’t exactly take her by surprise but it does hit her harder than she expects and before she knows it, there are tears pooling in her eyes. there are certainly moments when she doesn’t like him, wherein she tries to map his journey from landlord to trusted confidant and wonder how her life had come to this. the fact of the matter is schneider was always just there — whenever she needed someone to talk to because it felt like her head was going to explode. he was a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and she was ceaselessly grateful that his advice and responses were always free of judgement. “well,” she chuckles, mostly at herself as she feels a little embarrassed about her response “doctor berkowitz is still on trial. i think we get to return him if things don’t work out.”
