Landon had a gym membership. Did he adhere to a schedule though? Of course not. Sometimes he went five nights a week, sometimes he skipped weeks at a time. Something about the weights clacking against each other and the meatheads taking photos in front of the mirror didn’t calm him. After seeing Oliver all sweaty and in shape, there was a sinister side of Landon that wanted to get back at him. It definitely wasn’t mature, and did Oliver really care if Landon learned how to do a headstand with no help? Probably not. But Landon would deal with that later. 

He had purchased his own yoga mat, a deep royal blue color with ocean waves designed all over. The ocean was calming, so Landon assumed looking at it while in downward dog would help him reach inner peace. “Jacob, hey,” Landon said as he placed his mat down next to the man’s. How far away was he supposed to be from the other yoga-goers? “You namaste often? It’s not that hard, right?”

Jake didn’t exactly wanted to be there, he took care of his body at least enough to be healthy, he watched what he ate but gave himself room for indulgement and had a weekly work out routine that was easy to stick too since he had been doing it since college but he gave himself permission to skip it every now and then, never twice the same week though but with the holidays obviously he had gained a little weight and his wife had complained about him working too much and asked him to join her for yoga.... Jake didn’t even exactly counted Yoga as an actual work out, it was mostly stretches, breathing exercises and like... peace of mind, at least as far as he knew.

He was considering just pretending he had gotten a work call when someone settled next to him and he smiled as he recognized him, “Hey Landon... Ah, not really, this is my first time, my wife,” he pointed towards her, she had wanted to be closer to the front but Jake had drawn the line there “Wanted me to come and well... Happy wife happy life,” he explained with a shrug, “I’m guessing you don’t... namaste often either,”

Happily taking the second bottle of beer, Bash popped it open and followed the lead; also taking a slice of pizza to take a bite of, chewing as his brother seemed to come up with all the different excuses to not have a child with his wife. ❛ Hey, we’re all alive, aren’t we? ❜ he asked, completely making a point in his opinion. One kid couldn’t be hard when their parents managed seven of them. Not that Bash would ever want just one kid. At least two. Not having siblings felt like a punishment to him, even though Lily had clearly managed to do pretty great without one. Meanwhile, Bash couldn’t even imagine what life would have been like without six other kids in the house. Pretty easy for their parents, probably. Their parents had seemed much more happy than jake and his wife though, which was why Bash, and the others, often questioned what the hell she was even doing there. At Jake’s follow up question, Bash was glad he wasn’t taking a sip of his beer in the moment, a deep snort pushing out of his nose instead. ❛ Shut the fuck up, ❜ he said in a dry chuckle. A little Bash in the future, absolutely, in a couple of years, but the thought of an already existing one? Pushed away immediately, always. ❛ No, definitely not. Not right now. ❜  

.

Jake couldn’t help but chuckle in response to Bash’s point, “I’m pretty sure there’s more to being a parent than just keeping the child alive...” He replied with a teasing smile “And I think for some of us even doing that was a herculean effort,” He added jokingly, though to be honest he didn’t know how their parents were able to keep up with all seven of them, Jacob was the older sibling and before going to college he had tried to help as best as he could but he was young and selfish and so more often than not he would forget about his good intentions and end up doing his own thing. Jake smirked and shrugged “I don’t know, I’m curious now, maybe I should call that PI I had trying to find Dy and have them looking around for any lost Landry... Though they couldn’t find Dy so I might need to find a better one.”

“That sounds like a fucking bummer. It’s enough to scare you never to drink and smoke again.” Harley said with a wrinkle of her nose but if she remembered correctly, Jacob did drink so maybe it hadn’t scared him all the way straight. “That’s good. I’ll let Bash know that you might come. I’d open up your schedule a little bit more because we usually go out for drinks afterwards and that’s when the fun really starts.” She winked, nudging him slightly. “Hey, I’m not going to fight for the bill so I’ll get you next time.” After ordering the same thing as the male, she plopped down beside him. “How are you? How’s everything?”

.

Jacob smiled and shrugged “We got hit in the head a lot... The reasons for those meetings were because Freshmen specially tend to party a lot... As you get older you can still party just about the same but you usually know better than to do it the day before practice or games,” he explained, he had never really been one for parties, the cramped spaces filled with people acting stupid, the noise... But he had indulged in his fair share of partying during his first year. He smiled and shook his head “I don’t doubt it but I know Bash and I don’t think I can quite keep up with your version of fun anymore, I got accidentally drunk when LSU beat Florida a couple of weeks ago and I was hungover for a couple of weeks, my wife was not happy and having meetings with people about money while hungover is not fun,” He kind of regretted not being there for the game because he knew he could have at least said something about having to extend his trip until he nursed his hangover but the game had been too stressful and they kept handing him drink after drink and once LSU pulled the miracle win they obviously had to celebrate “I’m about as good as I can be, busy and stressed with work but there’s nothing new there, the firm’s growing and that brings more work and more stress but it’s my baby so it’s well worth it and the family is good... I think... At least no one has disappeared recently...” Though knowing his siblings that could change at any given moment. “You?”

Jacob studied the table for a moment before deciding on a shot, he had ended up on the bar after work, not feeling ready to go home yet, he knew that was bad, the fact that after a tiring day of meetings, contracts, emails and phone calls, he felt he needed to go somewhere besides his home to unwind, it wasn’t like he and his wife were fighting or anything it was just... something he didn’t actually want to think about, it was easier to pretend it was normal and in a way it was and he knew it, he saw it often enough but he kept ignoring, out of sight out of mind right? He wasn’t even comfortable enough to acknowledge it in the privacy of his mind.

He had ordered a drink at the bar and the moment a pool table cleared he had taken it, it had been a while since he had played pool and when his shot missed he sighed heavily, he noticed someone studying the table and he smiled, “You wanna play?” He asked not knowing if the other person was just lost in thought and they just happened to be looking in his direction or they wanted a chance to play, “I’m a little rusty... Or maybe I’m too sober? I remember I used to be good back in college, but maybe that is how the alcohol is making me remember it”.

Harley looked at the stick in hand and threw it to the ground, crushing it beneath the toe of her shoe. “You’ve gotten your point across.” She said with a roll of her eyes as her hand moved to her hips. A fucking buzz kill was what Jacob was. At the mention of a coffee or something more, she could only shrug. “I could eat, drink, and drink.” The latter was a little more than caffeine. “Lead the way and I’ll have whatever is there.” She wasn’t difficult in the slightest. “The tattooing thing is going well and the music is going better. We’re still doing small gigs but it’s fun. We have one in the upcoming weeks if you’re interested.”

.

Jacob shrugged and smiled in amusement, “As rookie players we had meetings about the partying, the drinking and the smoking practically every week and like once a month after that first year.” He still remembered how mind-numbing they were and also the hell there was to pay if a coach even got a slight suspicion that they were hungover during practice. “Alright,” Jake said and nodded in the direction of Fear Knot. “Sure, I’ll drop by if my schedule allows me to.” He replied with a nod and opened the door to the bar for Harley before following her inside and over to the bar. “It’s on me, I’m starving,” He commented as he waved the bartender over and ordered a hamburger, some fries and a beer.

She leaned along a nearby wall in an attempt to catch her breath as she peered at him. His words had elicited a small smile from her, but her finger in the air said that she needed a few more seconds before she could speak. “Which one of them do you think it is?” Anyone who knew Harley knew that she smoked a lot of weed and cigarettes. It was the type of lifestyle that she led. “I’m fucking with you. We both know that it’s the weed and cigarettes.” Straightening herself up, she looked him over. “Looking good though, Jacob. I was just about to go get a coffee so I thought I’d force you to come with me. It’s been a while.”

.

Jake smile amused and shrugged, he chuckled as Harley replied to the question herself, “Nothing that can’t be fixed, though once I read that it takes around fourteen years for your lungs to heal the damage smoking causes,” Jake commented as he looked up trying to remember, “Thank you, you too,” He smiled nodding his head in appreciation, “Well, I was craving a better more but a coffee would do,” He added with a shrug, “How’s the tattoo-ing going? Oh and the music thing, it’s been a while since I’ve been to one of you guys’ gigs.”

    When Jake started with the brother talk Bash closed his eyes for a moment, glancing over at the man next to him in the corner of his eyes while taking a sip of his beer. Neither of them were amazing brothers but Jake should know Bash had a way of wanting to do things more when his siblings didn’t think it was a great idea. He understood where Jake was coming from though and it caused him to sigh softly. ❛ Be careful, ❜ he repeated with a small smirk. ❛ Right. ❜ He let the conversation die out, knowing it would hardly get anywhere so he concentrated on the game and finished his beer, waving the empty bottle in front of Jake’s face as if to order a new one from the mini fridge. The way Jake choked on his beverage when Bash asked about children has the younger man trying to hide a small smirk in amusement. ❛ Mhm, really? ❜ he mused. Fine, he wanted his siblings to have children, he’d be a much better uncle than a dad… At least right now, but he knew Jake and his wife weren’t exactly there… Yet, like he said, but possibly never. Bash of course decided to tease further, nudging his older brother gently. ❛ Clock’s tickin’, dude. ❜

Jacob grabbed another two bottles from his mini-fridge and handed one to Bash before opening his, he bought himself more time by grabbing a slice of pizza for himself and sliding the box closer to Bash, “I mean it’s not like we’re getting a puppy, we’re talking about a whole ass person here, besides with how much trouble you guys gave our parents I’m scared to think what I’d be signing myself up for,” Jake commented hoping the humor would be a smooth way to change topics, he wasn’t exactly lying and Jake had his own hand in that, though he wasn’t as bad, he would go to the aftergame parties and get drunk, there was one time he thought everyone would be gone but they came back and found her with a girl and that one time he burrowed the car without asking their parents and then he was off to college. Jake knew that despite their struggles their parents had loved each other and that had always been what softened the rough edges of life and he knew he didn’t have that with his wife and he refused to bring children into that, they had grown up surrounded by love and they had all ended up so broken in their own ways that he didn’t want to see what kind of damage bringing kids into that would do. “What about you? Any little Bash?... That you know of at least,” He added with a little teasing tone”

August created memory bears for the siblings using fabric from their mother’s shirts. They’re oddly shaped, limbs not matching, ears not perfectly round. But the beauty is how imperfect they are, says August. She never strived for her children to be perfect, just letting them be.

There’s a message embroidered into each one: 

‘When you hold me close at night, know that I’m always there. 

Love, Mom’

He tells them to press the left paw to hear a voice recording:

‘I love you forever and always.’

Each sibling get a personalized card with a photo of their teddy bear on the front and his messy handwriting on the back:

Amelia ( @amelialandry ) : Her teddy bear sitting on top of Maurice resting comfortably on a dog bed.

Handwritten message: If Santa asked me what to give you, I’d tell him happiness and peace. Not just for Christmas or the year, but forever and always. That’s how much I love you. Forever and always. Every day with you is Christmas.

Bash ( @bashlandry ) : His teddy bear with oversized sunglasses sitting on a motorcycle

Handwritten message: No matter what, I love you. No matter what anyone says, you’re the coolest. No matter what, you deserve good things. Don’t let anyone ever tell you different. Merry Christmas, bro.

Jacob ( @jacob-landry ) : His teddy bear sitting next to a LSU stuffed football on a football field.

Handwritten message: I always tell people my favorite color is purple, because your favorite color is purple. But secretly? It’s actually… purple. Sssh. Wishing you all the best. Merry Christmas, bro.

Kennedy ( @kennedylandry ): Their teddy bear sitting on a tree branch.

Handwritten message: ❤❤❤

Leona ( @landryleona ) : Her teddy bear hanging off a vintage video camera in the woods.

Handwritten message: I feel so, so, so danged lucky and blessed to have you as my sister. And not just that, you’re my best friend in this whole wide wonderful beautiful fantastic world. May this holiday and upcoming forever bring you all the joy, peace, and everything that you want and deserve.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Outside of Garden Variety  

𝗪𝗵𝗼: Open / @crescentstarters​

               THE end of the honeyed daytime dripped from the Sunstone sky as it sunk into darkness, and was replaced with a cloak of dusky tones, but she recollected it being a relatively warm — well warm for Washington, day for December, but now that the days drew to a nigh so soon, the moment she shuffled out the entrance of the botanical gardens, an offhand sojourn as she waited for her mother, it was this ( which she was in no way querulous of, she just spent an hour looking at an array of herbs ), or watch the store since her mother did not like to drive at night anymore. The shine of the screen caught her unwary as she checked to see the time, she still had a bit of time, as she scrolled through some of the texts. She had sent a few memos before she glanced at her foreign enviorn, she had lived there for more than seven years and had only been once, the pitch of her shoes as she was about to walk away when a pin in the sky as rain spilled, making her to hasten back to the sturdy awning, “we’re in a dream, aren’t we?” Gyuri questioned, a soft tone that blended in with the pattern of the rain, and a silken glance to the person beside her. The glare of the artificial golden light afforded a filmy gloss to coat her vision as she checked the weather app on her phone, before her hand reached out to touch the rain. 

[jacob-landry]

Rich people had a lot of weird quirks there were some that would only talk business in a golf course or over dinner, he had just finished a meeting at the botanical gardens, he was walking out when it started drizzling and he sighed heavily, “Great,” He complained to himself when he noticed there was someone else there and he smiled amused at her question. “I hope not,” he said and chuckled at the thought “Because I just had a very important but very dull work meeting that I would rather not have to go through again... And then I went to the bathroom,” He added with a shrug of his shoulders.

“I know people who have kept other body parts. This one guy got to keep his amputated foot, but there’s a law that prevents the dentist from giving me my own wisdom teeth after extraction? It doesn’t make sense, Jake. How are they a bio hazard if they came from my head?” Dy shook their head in disdain, their eyes flicking to the window as they shoved a fry into their mouth, speaking around it as they spoke. “That’s why I left. Got sick of laws.”

.

“What? There’s no way... Was it for a religious or cultural thing? Because otherwise there’s no way he got to keep his foot... that’s just...” Jake shook his head, he had a lot of question about that one specially why but he looked at Dy and shrugged. “It’s all about jurisdiction Dy, like with Cannabis each state has their laws, rules and regulations, there was a law passed in the 60s here in Washington making it a five-year in prison felony if you kill Bigfoot, in Louisiana is illegal to wrestle bears,” He explained and bit into his burger but his gaze drifted back to Dy, “I get that,” He said though it was hard to see why “But how did you end up with the cult? As far as I know they actually have a lot of rules.. and how did you... escape? Or did they just let you leave, honestly all I truly know about cults comes from TV.”

“I don’t have a tree in my house yet.” The response flows from his lips easily, as if he’d made a comment about the weather (colder than he’d like) or wine (that he wasn’t drinking). It’s spoken between a cup of hot cider that’s grasped snugly in his gloved hands as he looks at the other, half-expecting them to have an outburst at the fact that they were already over halfway to Christmas and he didn’t have a tree decorated in his home. Quite frankly, he hardly had any Christmas decorations in his house to begin with, and they were still in a bin somewhere in his basement. The holiday season left a bad taste in his mouth and it had done so for years. Nicolas would, however, blame it on things being busy at the winery during this time of year, a thought he verbalises after another sip and restrained eye roll. “November and December are one of the busiest times of year for the winery, and we’re still minding the vineyard with pruning and heaters. I don’t exactly have all the time in the world to decorate. Not that I entertain many guests in my home to begin with—” Something catches at the corner of his gaze and turning his head slightly, he can’t help but let out a chuckle. “Looks like someone’s pup has ditched their leash.” 

[jacob-landry]

Jacob nodded as he listened to Nicholas talk, as he sipped on his whisky and raised an eyebrow, “Really? I would have thought you would just pay someone to do it for you... I don’t know if my wife put it up or if she paid someone to be honest, I just came back from work one day and it was decorated... Busy season for the firm as well, contracts ending or that need to be revisited and such.” He explained, “I don’t think it matters if you decorate or not, I think it depends on where you are going to spend Christmas, though your neighbors may think you are a bit of grinch if your house is the only one without that... Christmas joy.”
