⠀⠀⠀ jade claire had to do a lot of thinking after their last encounter, particularly about whether or not she wishes to change—- whether or not she is willing to be potentially hurt or not. on one hand, she’s in love with kol and is willing to do just about anything for him. on the other, she has a pre-judged idea of relationships and just how they’ll end. is this going to be any different? well, she certainly hopes so, otherwise this plan is absolutely absurd and she just might have to suffer being around him for the rest of her days.
⠀⠀⠀ everything had gone according to her plan, at least so far. leah, like the god-send that she was, had successfully managed to get kol out of his room and downstairs to the kitchen where jade needed kol to be. rebekah agreed to help the witch put up decorations on one very specific condition that jade tells her how her silly plan went. now all that was needed was for kol to enter the kitchen, where jade would be ‘getting a midnight snack.’ spoiler alert: she is, in fact, anxious snacking, but that’s not the purpose for all this stupid planning.

⠀⠀⠀ the one thing jade hated about being just a witch is that she does not have super hearing, so the commentary coming from the doorway has her dropping her snack in surprise. she hadn’t really expected him to be there, at least not in that moment. she curses under her breath, grabs the granola bar from the floor, and throws it in the trash. she turns on her heels to face the man, the one that she’s been avoiding for far longer than she should have, and exhales slowly. there is just one problem with this plan, and that’s if she has even the smallest irregular heart beat, he’ll see right through it. not that he doesn’t already, but he’ll humor her—- hopefully.
⠀⠀⠀ “is it really?” her tone doesn’t carry the usual hostility, well.. at least not as much of it. she’ll still tease him, that isn’t going to change ever. she’ll take that with her to her damn death bed, when she’s old and wrinkly while he’ll still be the most beautiful man in the world. “there is not a single person on this earth who knows me better than you, and you know it.” she’s hoping for two things: he actually moves into the goddamn kitchen, and that he doesn’t pay any attention to the decorations. if one happens but not the other, her silly little plan is officially screwed and she’ll have to do things the difficult way, as if this was the freaking easy way.

@fatesmade His morning hadn't quite gone to plan. A certain hybrid had shown up at his door, hounding him about needing to be in the kitchen for whatever reason (he hadn't actually been listening to her all that much, though Leah was less annoying than her sister). So he had followed her along under minor protest, expecting to have to fix something or something to that effect. He hadn't expected to find the kitchen decorated in the most... interesting way when he opened the door. And in the centre of it all was Jade, with a snack in her hand, looking a little bit too anxious in his opinion. That was probably the part that caught his eye the most. She had been avoiding him for the last few days, though that much he had expected. She had needed time to work out what she was doing and he had figured that she'd come around in the end. "Well, this is a bit of a surprise darling," he commented, leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen.
