ordinary father

"I think it’s safe to say that he’s totally in love with me,” she nodded matter of factly, smirking before she let herself giggle at their banter, closing her eyes as she slouched slightly to rest her head against his chest. Their alone time was always filled with perfect moments, and she only wished that it could always be that way. “Oh, he’s gorgeous,” she nodded. “His jaw is amazing, perfect for that little moment when we make out and I..” she trailed off, moving her lips to his jawline, kissing and sucking at it.

"Oh is he that obvious, uh?" Well, it was. Some of his friends said he was going crazy, head on heels all that jazz, about this girl. Which it was true. Hell, he would gladyl skip Miss Mystic in order to be with her at the Lake House which had become their own safe heaven away from everyone and everything.

John laughs at her words, a little humming sound as her lips move to his spoken jaw and kiss it, causing the young Gilbert to take a deep breath. "Perfect for those times, uh? Well, her lips are also perfect for those, you know?" He teases, his head looking down searching for proximity, leaning closer to brush his lips on her own.

elena loves it when uncle john comes to visit because he takes her out to get ice cream, and there’s nothing this little girl loves more than that sugary treat. okay, maybe she is at that age where she simply loves everything.

“ are we gonna get ice cream ?!?! ”

#vampcircles #[v just:uncle john]#oh god i feel them already

He had already been told he shouldn't visit Elena ALL days of the week because it would be bad for him. According to Grayson of course. But John had to see her. Seeing his daughter was the happiest moment of the day despite she didn't knew him like that. He was just the good old uncle john who takes his favorite 'niece' to get ice-cream.

"Sure thing, little one! We are going to get your favorite over the park, yes?"

When her friends had first found out that she’d been seeing John, they’d teased her, wondering why she’d chosen the ‘dorkier’ Gilbert as they had called him. But to Isobel, he was something different. She enjoyed that he had such unique interests and still found space and time to be so attentive to her. She nestled into his arms, smiling as he chuckled in response to her words. It was the reaction that she had wanted, and she was pleased that he’d reacted that way, "Yeah? Because it’s funny, I have the weirdest crush on this scrawny little blonde kid,” she teased, kissing his cheek.

"A crush? Would you look at that. Does he crush you back?" He teases at her words, his nose casually bumping into her forehead before moving up a little to get more comfortable and left a kiss to her temple. Yeah, he could get use to this, and it was quiet. No vampires, his father wasn't around to bother him about how a dissapointment he was in comparison to Grayson and his mother not around telling him how Isobel wasn't the right one for him. She felt so right.

"I bet he is very handsome, right? Have a fantastic jaw and taste in women." John said resting down on the side of the couch they were on and bringing her closer.

A smile spread across her features, and she laced her fingers through his as he squeezed her hands. It was such a simple touch, but all the same, she was that much more comforted by it. She hadn’t always been good with words; she hadn’t even tried until she had started spending time with John, but he seemed to bring something out in her that she just couldn’t explain. "Love you too,” she grinned, pulling his arms around her as she looked up into his eyes, unable to help but feel like with him was where she belonged. “Are you sure? Because you know.. I think I saw Jenna Sommers looking at you the other day. She’d be the perfect cover up.” She was mostly teasing him, but she was also testing him, curious what he would say.

It is easy to be less than a dork around Isobel and more him, whatever that meant. But it was easy and he just liked spending time with her, despite how someone looking from the outside would say they were the imperfect match. Maybe that's why he had taken an interest on her in the first place, she stood out, away from the common boring deal of the town. John's arms are wrapped around her with ease as she speaks.

And there is a chuckle coming from him at the mention of Jenna Sommers. Yeah, he had noticed that Jenna seemed to stare at him a lot and spend time with him when the house was alone-and honestly he thought it was cute-but right now he had Isobel and he wanted just that. "Miranda's little sister? Oh she is cute and all, but I think my interest is toward a certain raven-haired girl I have on my arms right now."

#icanswers #anonask #ah yes john knows he shouldnt but damn isobel was his world back then

do you still love Isobel? [for older John]

“I think I will always love her.” John already accepts this fact, despite how much she changed or hurt him, he loved her. He had run off to her like a fool the moment she called him about vampires. It was toxic really, but he had loved her so much and she gave him the most precious thing in the world; his daughter.

“It was easy, you know? To love her. And I think I will never stop. No matter what.”

dude, lilith might be dying but she has massive hair porn here

#[out of letters]#im making icons and damn lilith your hair is a+

If you could go back, would you have kept Elena?

“—-I—” His first reaction is to say yes. The moment he hold her when she was born is still the happiest moment he had on his life. But Isobel had left him, and he was a mess, only 17 at the time, would he had raised her properly on his own? With the judging eye of his family? “I would, yes. But I know I wouldn’t had done her any good. I was young, and stupid and I was a mess when Isobel left. I just—I don’t know if giving her to my brother was a good idea.”

He feels bad for saying that, but GOD how it hurt to watch her grow so close and see her call his brother ‘father’ and him just being cool uncle John. “I wanted to watch her grow. And I did.”

Send my muse prying asks about anything and everything

“How can you be so sure?” she asked curiously. The two had known each other for as long as she could remember and though they had just recently begun spending time together outside of school, Isobel had caught on quickly that his family didn’t think very highly of her. “I’m never going to be a Lockwood, or a Forbes, or even a Donovan. I’m a nobody to them, Johnny — less than a nobody.”

John shakes his head. It's not like he cares what his family things about her. At least he got Grayson, who liked Isobel enough to allow the pair to escape from time to time without being notice. The hunter leans over and his hands reaches her own, squeezing them tightly.

"Because I love you, okay? And they better get use to have you around, and even then, I don't care what they think."He said offering a tiny yet visible smile. Their last names were just that, a joint of words, nothing special about that.

But I want a thread with a Klaus bc I’m sure that John, despite all, would sympathize with Klaus’ devotion to Hope

“Did you tell your mom that we’re a thing? If we’re a thing? I just figured I’d ask considering her talk with me today about how I’d be ’such a lovely girl if I just knew how to dress’.”

"I did told her. I just think my mom just wants me around Founding family members. She forces me to go to this Miss Mystic Pageant." The young Gilbert said with an exasperated sigh going through his lips, green eyes looking back at her.

"She will warm up to you, Is."

She gives him a look, one that clearly states just how much work it is taking not to lecture him. She should have seen his quick retort coming — after all she has known him since they were children. He always has had a way with words. “You’re lucky; end of story.” She is not entertaining the idea that he is only here because some higher power wants him to suffer even more.

At least he is behaving himself as a patient (but to be honest, she isn’t above strapping him down if he takes a turn for the worst). With the wound clean, she eyes it with a precise look to determine if he is in need of stitches. Hmm, one or two wouldn’t hurt — just to be on the safe side. She has her back turned, deep in the supply closet when he speaks. For a moment she freezes, and she tries to imagine what it is like to know that you will never see your child again. Tries — and fails of course.

Turning back, she gives him a sympathetic look. “I think…I think what you need to focus on is that she will wake up. She’s not gone, not forever. I know nothing can take away the pain of knowing that you’ll never speak to her again but I do think that she would want you to actually live your life instead of getting yourself killed at the first chance.”
