– I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth –
Landon was aware that there was so much happening but he will be damned if it distracts him from pursuing the girl that he has a huge crush on. He's not sure when his feelings for Adelina developed but with the amount of time they have spent together, it was inevitable. He learned so much more about her through that and from there, he just couldn't resist the pull that he felt toward her and while Landon never made it obvious that he liked her, just because he was so unused to feeling anything for anyone, he felt those things for her and since there was a huge chance that they might not survive the final battle with Raziel, he needs to let his feelings for her be known. He needs to tell her that he feels something for her and with how kind and supportive Adelina was, how could he not feel things for her? What started as a little crush soon developed into something much bigger and as his feelings for her developed, it became harder and harder for him to sleep at night as she would instead occupy his thoughts, making him feel like a lovesick teen in a coming of age movie or something. It was a strange feeling, but it wasn't an unpleasant one.
Landon made his way to the lake where they used to train together almost every single day after he confessed to Adelina that he still hasn't been able to take control of his powers, especially the pyrokinesis part of it all since it was pretty unsafe and a whole safety hazard. But together, they made good use of that power and slowly, Landon became more and more confident in his powers. He's not confident enough that he'd teach someone anything about Phoenix 101, oh no. But he's feeling a lot more in control of his powers unlike the beginning of it all and he owes it all to Adelina and her determination to stay by his side.
He'd sent a text for Adelina to meet him out by the lake and as he threw little stones at the lake, he watched it skip a couple of times before sinking down, leaving behind just a small ripple at the surface. Landon pulled his attention away from the lake to look at Adelina, his lips stretching into a smile upon seeing her. "Hey," Landon awkwardly moved his arms back and forth, unsure what to do with them. "Thanks, for agreeing to see me on such a short notice." Landon added a moment later, taking a small step closer to her. "Uh, there's just –" Landon paused, unsure how to say it and just like that, he was beginning to wonder if he should say anything. All his insecurities came to the surface and it was so easy for him to huddle back into that mindset of "I'm not worthy of anything good" but he pushed himself out of it with a clear determination to be honest for once.
"You know what? I'm just gonna say it before I chicken out and god knows if I will ever find the courage to tell you and I honestly feel like I'm babbling already but–" Landon paused but only so he could take in a deep breath to calm himself down before he could mess up and say something else. "I really like you, Adelina." Landon had to stop himself from saying that too quickly. "You're such a sweet person, you've always been there for me, you helped me with my powers, and thanks to you, I feel like I actually have a chance at standing my ground against an actual angel. I wouldn't have been able to reach this point if it weren't for you and I just– I don't want to keep my feelings for you tucked away because I'm worried that I might never get another chance to tell you, so, here it is. I would really, really like to take you out on a date. If you, um, if you feel the same way about me, too. Absolutely no pressure if you don't feel the same way. I'd absolutely get it."

There was always so much going on it seemed but Adelina knew that she wouldn’t give up being a part of the Squad for anything. They were all her friends and even though she hadn’t been there to fight alongside them the first time that Ben’s father had showed up, she knew that she was going to be there the next time. Hope and Josie had lost their lives that day and it was fortunate that they had both come back. Ben was her friend and she knew how much Jed loved him but she also knew how much her dads cared about him. She couldn’t believe that his own father could have cursed him the way his had done but now the angel was determined to wipe out everyone who was supernatural and that meant that everyone that Adelina cared about was in the firing line. Her friends were still working to break the curse that she and Ela had been born with and they were still trying to break Ben’s as well but right now they had something much bigger to worry about so she knew that everything else had to take a backseat and she completely understood that. She knew that her friends were close to finding a way to break her curse and Henrik had been helping them but for now that was going to have to be enough. Truth be told there were other things that had been on Adelina’s mind lately anyway. She had helped Landon get his abilities under control after he learned that he was a phoenix and that had meant that they had spent a lot of time together. There was a time when they had trained together pretty much every day and that had resulted in them getting closer. Even before that Adelina had had a bit of a crush on him, she knew that the two of them were different but she liked Landon and seeing him always brightened her day no matter what else was going on. She had tried to make him see that he didn’t have to put on a brave face around her and that he could talk about what was really going on with him. He always had Raf he could lean on but Raf had killed Landon when he lost control and she had known that Landon hadn’t wanted to make his brother feel anymore guilty than he already had done so she had done her best to be someone that Landon could talk to instead. Adelina had confided in her sister about the way she felt about Landon and she knew that her dad suspected that there was someone she liked but she had been trying to keep it to herself otherwise. She didn’t think for a minute that he would like her too and talking about it to anyone other than Ela would make it even more real and she hadn’t wanted to set herself up for a disappointment. She was pretty sure that the crush she’d felt had turned into something more during all the time they had spent together, she felt like she had developed real feelings for him and that in itself was scary given her curse but her dad had explained that it would only be triggered when she felt true happiness and that likely wouldn’t be for years. For her mom that had only come when she had held Adelina and Ela for the first time so she knew that she didn’t have to worry just yet but it was still scary to say the least. That day Adelina had been hanging out with her brother when the text from Landon arrived asking if she could met him out by the lake and Elias was quick to encourage her to go. Shooting Landon a quick message back to say that she would be there, Adelina headed out and it didn’t take her long to reach the lake. “Hey,” she said, offering Landon a smile as she reached him before stopping as she saw the way he was swinging his arms. “No problem. Is everything okay?” she asked, unable to deny that she was now a little nervous. It wasn’t long before Landon started talking and Adelina was about to reassure him and tell him that whatever it was he could tell her when he came right out and said what she had been longing to hear for such a long time and it was enough to make her cheeks flush red. Adelina knew that she needed to react but the truth was that she was stunned that he actually liked her too and once he’d finished she was quiet for a moment as she tried to gather her thoughts. “I never thought you’d ever feel that way about me,” she said at last, finally finding her voice. “You’re an amazing guy, Landon. You’ve been through so much and you’re still standing but more than that you’re still fighting and that’s something I admire about you. You always try to find the silver lining,” she said, her eyes locked on his as she spoke. “The truth is I like you too so yes, I would love to go out on a date with you,” she added, a smile touching her lips as her heart felt like a weight had been lifted from just being able to say those words out loud to him.

“Oh, yeah. Everything's okay. A-okay.” Landon nervously made an 'okay' sign with his hand but he was certain that his face gave him away because he looked anything but okay. He was just too nervous and eventually, he seemed to just blurt everything out when he could no longer keep those feelings hidden away anymore. He had kept them tucked away for long enough and they were at the verge of an apocalypse and the end of the world as they know it, so he might as well just blurt everything out before it all consumes him or worse, he's left with nothing but regret for nothing saying anything sooner and there's absolutely nothing worse than regret.
Landon prepared himself for the inevitable heartbreak because there's simply no way that Adelina would feel the same way for him. He knows it might all end up being a one-sided crush and he's okay with that because then, at least, he has made his feelings for Adelina clear and that should be more than enough, really. Right? It should be enough. But, obviously, he would love nothing more than for Adelina to feel the same way for him.
Even though a part of him always felt like he was someone who was hard to love.
Landon nervously shifted weight from one foot to the other as he continued listening to Adelina. He released a soft sigh and nodded his head slowly. “It's okay, really, I—” Landon paused when he realized that Adelina hadn't just rejected him.
She said yes.
“What?” Landon breathed out when it seemed to click for him that Adelina had actually agreed to go out with him on a date. “Yeah?” Landon breathed out with a relieved smile resting on his lips. “I actually — wow, um, I didn't actually prepare myself for what to say if you said yes.” Landon breathed out a chuckle, looking happy. “Okay, um, okay. A date, then. Yes. When's a good time for you?” Landon asked, figuring it was a gentlemanly move to let her pick first instead of assuming that the time he picks would work for her, too.

Landon seemed nervous, that much was obvious to Adelina, but she wasn’t sure why. They had been friends for a long time and they often spent time together but somewhere along the line something had changed for Adelina. She didn’t think of Landon as just a friend any longer, he was so much more to her than that and she was so sure that it was one sided. She’d had crushes before but this felt different and in a way that scared her. She knew that she was cursed and her friends were working hard to break that curse but they hadn’t found a way to do that just yet just like they hadn’t found a way to break Ben’s curse completely. It was terrifying to think that one moment of pure happiness could cost Adelina her life and it was the same for her twin sister but she also knew that she couldn’t let that make her put her life on hold. She didn’t want to live her life with any regrets so it was all about finding balance and she was certain that Landon didn’t like her in that way so she really wasn’t sure why she was so worried. Or so she had always thought, anyway. It wasn’t long before Landon was saying the words she had wanted to hear from him for a long time and she didn’t hesitate in agreeing to go on a date with him. Her acceptance didn’t seem to register with Landon at first because his next words were ones she would have expected to hear from him if she had turned him down, not if she had said yes. Landon had been through so much and he had come out of it the other side and that was one of the things that had always drawn her to him the most. Finally he seemed to realise what she’d actually said and Adelina couldn’t help but laugh. Stepping forward, she took his hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Yes,” she confirmed, needing him to know that she meant it. “I can tell. I’ve loved spending so much time with you so of course I was going to say yes,” she said, a smile touching her lips as she looked over at him. As he asked what time was good for her, Adelina thought about it for a moment. “I’m free this afternoon if that’s not too soon,” she said, knowing that she was looking forward to it and also didn’t want Landon to think that she was going to change her mind. “I get it if you need more time though,” she added, not sure whether he had anything planned or not.

Landon was beyond relieved. He had so many anxiety dreams leading up to this moment — all of which were just different ways where Adelina let him down gently or he fumbled so badly that it just sent him running for the hills instead. But thankfully, reality ended up being so different from his dreams and boy was he grateful in ways that he couldn't even begin to fathom. “My god.” Landon breathed out with a chuckle of disbelief falling from his lips as he glanced down at their hands. He wanted to pinch himself just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming — but his dreams were never this sweet and gentle and it was the reminder that he needed that he was most definitely not dreaming right now.
“No!” He replied to both statements at once. “Definitely not too soon and I definitely don't need more time. God, all I've had was time until this very moment so I am definitely free this afternoon and any afternoon after that. I'm free all the time for you.” Landon said with a nervous smile playing at his lips as he looked down at their hands again. Yup. Definitely real.
“So, uh, do you wanna maybe hit up the cinema and then do something afterwards? I hear they've got some pretty interesting movies playing so we've got options on what we wanna watch.” Landon suggested, his shoulders lifting and dropping in a quick shrug before waiting to see what Adelina's choice would be.

Adelina had liked Landon from the moment he had arrived at the Salvatore School but the truth was after they started spending more time together those feelings had shifted into something so much more. She had thought about this moment so many times since then and now she couldn’t believe that it was actually happening. She’d liked people before but it had never turned into a full blown crush. Landon was the first person that had happened with and if she was honest, Adelina was glad that it was him. There were other guys at school who were cute but she’d spent the most time with Landon and she felt like she had really started to get to know the real him and she definitely liked what she had seen so far. “You underestimate yourself, you know,” Adelina laughed. She could see that Landon really hadn’t expected her to agree to go out with him but the truth was that she never would have dreamed of giving him any other answer. He had asked when a good time for a date would be and Adelina had offered up that afternoon. She was nervous considering that she had never actually been on a date before but she knew that the last thing she wanted was to give herself the chance to overthink it as she was certain that she would do. She would have understood if Landon had needed more time, though, but truth be told she was happy that he seemed so enthusiastic. “Great. This afternoon it is then,” she said, a smile touching her lips as she looked over at him. As he suggested the cinema and then something else afterwards, Adelina nodded. “That sounds perfect,” she assured him. “We can always get something to eat too if you like,” she suggested, knowing that she wanted it to be something that they would both remember.
