Sippin' Waterfalls

Everything is grey, his hair, his smoke, his dreams. And now he's so devoid of color he don't know what it means.

— “ Aren’t you quite the charmer ? Good because I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. ”

He smiled softly, nodding, “Good.” He smirked, standing up, “Want to get out of here? I’ve got some whiskey in my car, we can go down by the lake?”

[lolendmepls]

— “ Going out alone with a man I barely know ? Sounds like a good time to me. ” She mused sweetly, hopping up enthusiastically and moving to his side to link her arm through his. “ Lead the way. ”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He grinned softly, their arms linking together and walking out. They stopped at his car to grab the bottle, and headed down to the water, sitting on a nearby dock with the bottle going back and forth between them.

Arching an eyebrow, he stood up, “Oh? Evil wolf beats aye? I’m gathering you’re unaware who you’re speaking to.”

“Yeah, that’s probably the case. If I’ve just offended you in any way, shape, or form, I’m seriously sorry about that,” Jayson replied, tone apologetic

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

Shaking his head, he looked at him, "Considering you said what you said, I can assume you had no idea, because if you did, I know you wouldn't have said it." He smirked, shaking his head, "I'm Benedict Mikaelson."

He moved to place a hand on her’s, his gaze soft, “It’s okay. You did what you had to do.” He didn’t know the situation, but he knew that she was wrecked over it and that obviously she wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t for a good reason.

💎 — The touch surprised her. She didn’t know how to feel about it, though it seemed likely he was just trying to comfort her – especially as her eyes met his. “It is okay,” she put on a confident tone, smile small. It wasn’t her choice, as she had played it off as, but she had been the one to take the steps to move forward. “You’ll be okay, too.”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, grinning softly, "Want to take a walk? It gets pretty busy in here and can be crowded."

Walking in the door from being in town, he sat down on the couch, flipping through his phone absentmindedly. He had been out with some friends and hadn’t been home in a few days.

Hayley knew the instant her son had walked into the house. Normally she wouldn’t care about him not coming to greet her upon coming home but she was bit concerned about him. Walking into the room she stared at him for a few moments before speaking. “Benedict Mikaelson! Do you not see me standing here?” Give your mother a hug.”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

Getting up, he grinned softly before hugging her, "Sorry mom." He looked at her, his gaze relaxed, "What's up?"

Shrugging, he nodded, “My family are very close knit. They value blood over anything. So stepping away and not telling them everything is a stretch.” He had never been this open with anyone, he usually acted like a player and just flirted with everyone, but with her it was different.

💎 — His nod is mirrored. “My advice to you?  Do what feels right.” She had her own opinions on family – probably far off from what he did, but she saw that he was conflicted, and she wanted him to know there was another way. Her gaze dropped slowly, unfocused and on her hands. “If I had held on to my family, I don’t know what I would have become.”

He nodded, understanding where she was coming from, “Makes sense. I enjoy mine as well. My family and I don’t entirely see eye to eye since I came back, so it’s been good to be on my own.”

💎 — “Mnogo babi, khilavo bebe,” she mused quietly. “Your voice is what’s important – you can’t follow every other. We all learn that eventually. Family might be all well and good but, I say it’s a crutch.”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, looking at her, “Your’s as well?”

💎 — “Naturally,” she spoke as if there were no other answer. “But I’m enjoying my independence more than I thought I would.”

He nodded, shrugging, “My father is a knowledgeable person, so I learn a lot from him.”

💎 — “There we go,” she hummed. It was a subject she related little with.

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, looking at her, "Your's as well?"

[svetlanahq]

𝓑enedictmikaelson:

He nodded, grinning, “Very cool. I grew up kind of learning everything. I wasn’t taught specific languages, but I am fluent in Latin.” He shrugged, nodding, “Yup.”

💎 — “Powerful language,” she agreed offhandedly. “It must be better, being home instead. Plenty more to learn that way.”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, shrugging, "My father is a knowledgeable person, so I learn a lot from him."

His eyebrows rose, shocked, “Third? What are the first two? Yes. It’s like university. But I only went for a semester.”

💎 — The reaction brought a soft laugh to her lips, a little nervous. “Bulgarian and Italian,” she replied modestly. “So, you left early?” As curious as she was, she left it up to him to decide if he wanted to speak of it further.

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, grinning, "Very cool. I grew up kind of learning everything. I wasn't taught specific languages, but I am fluent in Latin." He shrugged, nodding, "Yup."

He thought for a moment, shaking his head, “I left for college a while back, but I’m back here now.”

💎 — “College is where you study, right?” she asked, but quickly followed it with one of her usual, “English is my third language.” Not a lie, but a misplaced excuse.

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

His eyebrows rose, shocked, "Third? What are the first two? Yes. It's like university. But I only went for a semester."

[svetlanahq]

𝓑enedictmikaelson:

He nodded, curious if his prying had gone too far, “My family are from here. Long way back.”

💎 — Family. A common answer. “I see. That’s nice,” she brought herself to say, her gaze happy. “So you’ve always been here?”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He thought for a moment, shaking his head, "I left for college a while back, but I'm back here now."

[svetlanahq]

𝓑enedictmikaelson:

He chuckled, shrugging, “So, what brings you to this little hole in the wall town? Are you from here?”

💎 — A fair enough question, but she worried her lip slightly before replying, “I’m not originally. I guess you could say.. New Orleans found me?  I like it here. What about you?”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

He nodded, curious if his prying had gone too far, "My family are from here. Long way back."

[svetlanahq]

Grinning softly, he smirked, “That’s up to your detective skills.”

💎 — “I’m not confident enough in them. Maybe for the best.”

Smiling in return, he gave an nod to that as they would make their way to the pizza place. Walking there was silence for numerous of reasons, for one spies could be watching, two could be that everyone is a target, and three would be because there wasn’t much to talk about. Making their way into the pizza place, they would make their way in the sat down at the table while waiting for waiter/waitress.

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

They had never been to best at communication, which often led to such silences. When Benedict had gone off to college when he was 18, and returned a year prior without any explanation, it had strained the family bond quite a bit. He still wouldn't talk about what had happened, and avoided questions when pressured. When a waiter approached, he ordered a ham and pineapple pizza, looking over at his father to see if he wanted anything.

He grinned softly, his gaze smoldering, “It’s a pleasure to meet you Lola.”

— “ I know. ” She chimed proudly. “ It’s a pleasure to stare at your face. ”

[benedictmikaelson-blog]

Chuckling softly, he nodded, "It's a pleasure to share such a lovely gaze."
