“hey, lena?” he starts, leaning forward, grappling with what he’s about to ask. “you’re a writer, right?”

" you look - different. " although he imagines that's what months do, what months are meant to do at least. the snow outside does her little justice, but somehow she looks both warmer and colder to him. maybe his glasses are fogged. maybe he's biased. " i meant to, er, call before i... well, i thought i'd surprise you." though it's not really a surprise if he shows up for christmas break on the same day each year, is it? he tries to remember if he'd removed his wand from his person. he hopes so. he can't think straight when she looks more vivid than she does in pictures, when she appears so much sharper than he'd left her. and yes, he'd left her. again. " i didn't mean in a bad way, a-about you looking different, just - it's good. it's a good thing i think. " she still doesn't look like a threat to him. she still looks every bit like a weakness. " how are things here? "

‘ do you not know how love works? ’

currently on twenty unsolicited questions: this again.

looking for loose change on the butt of a joke like this, probably knowing derek knows and a few other-kind knows ahead while they both lounge in the trial-and-poke period. 

and why not.

he doesn’t mind much; elena gives room to skirt, and where she doesn’t—- there’s a multitude of unreliable sources citing derek hale’s founding of the mannequin challenge. not his finest stamp material. fine for using when it suits him, though. 

few chairs to their farther left, a selfieing couple, with blots for heads at this level of derek’s disinterested reference, align as the flash pops and burns his eyes out.

syncing up with elena’s, or anyone’s, differences just hasn’t been a schedule priority for some while there, is all. well — most of it. 

it might’ve been a while since he snickered with gusto, too.

she’s watching and by that imposing just a bit of tightness around them. watching derek’s red hands, it feels like, even though he went meticulous with his last people interaction’s leftovers.

listening. maybe for the pretty jangle in his pocket, even though he only deals in transfer and illiquid and variously executed positions of impersonal space. no keys to need when nowhere is a permanent stay.

’ just remember that when it’s done with you? ‘  he nods to her dose of heart attack in the coffee cup,  ’ i’m not dragging you out of here. ‘

how does bell feel abt skai kru adults (like kane & abby but also just them As A Whole) during/post s3ish do you think?

           bellamy needs guidance the most during season three.          he’s always needed it,  from the moment he joined the delinquents on the ground,  but back then,  he’d been so unwilling to accept it.          he’d thought he knew best,  as the adult of the group     —     whatever the hell we want and the like.          but early twenties is still,  well,  early.          he’s just as prone to mistakes as the rest of them,  and season three proved that.          the adults earned their respect just as clarke did   ;   by making choices that reflected upon the group as a whole rather than indulging in their own selfish needs,  and by season three,  bellamy sees them as equals,  with a particular suggestion towards kane being like a father figure.

          after mount weather is blown up,  bellamy’s unwilling to trust the adults   ;   they don’t seem to blame him for what happened for the most part,  and that seems wrong to him.          bellamy trusted echo,  bellamy vouched for echo,  echo betrayed them,  therefore the result is bellamy’s fault.          pike seems to acknowledge that when the adults don’t,  and so his trust in them falters in favour of pike’s approach     —     that yes,  it is his fault,  and now he has to amend his mistake.          once he realises this is even more dastardly than his initial blunder,  he cowers.          he can’t be sure of his own judgment anymore,  and while he’ll help when asked,  it’s left in most part to the adults to decide what their plan of action is.

           the leader role he’d grasped most prominently in season two crumbles,  he’s demoted to outcast and kane and abby seize the reins.          they’re the authority now,  and bellamy shows no reluctance in giving them the control and respect that,  ultimately,  ensures no further lives are lost.
