<p>Nora has never been the type of conventional woman he thought he'd see himself with. When he first met her, things were... not going in his favor, honestly. But suffice to say, after spending his time with the lady, he found himself being mesmerized by the dhampir. The way she does things, the way she would often makes her voice heard, even if it was the biggest room possible. The nephilim realized how much he adored those antics.

"Well when you say it like that, I'm glad it makes you feel that way. I just want to make you smile... and it's not hard to believe that's what I only want too." Because believe it or not, Julian really did wish for her happiness.</p>
<p>Seeing that smile etched on her lips, the way she always had something witty coming her way and the curve of her lips going upwards<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/15b3ffd371c9ca5e4a74c9b35e9950e1/2b9d0c252fe21707-c0/s500x750/2995cba35840dad29e859ec93f4f89488ebff7a4.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/15b3ffd371c9ca5e4a74c9b35e9950e1/2b9d0c252fe21707-c0/s500x750/2995cba35840dad29e859ec93f4f89488ebff7a4.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-right"/></a> because of that smirk of hers, or hell even her cute nose scrunch, Julian loved it all. "See, if I give up so easily, then I wouldn't be the man you like, no?" he teased. He brushed his hand through his hair and chuckled when she said maybe he could rock an undercut "You think so? I have never had one to actually know how I'd look in such style honestly." Perhaps this would be the first and Nora would come to like it. Maybe himself too.</p>
<p>"My family is not fucked up... actually they are very close to each other which kinda... makes it annoying at times" he chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly because he knew Nora might not blend well with them if she didn't want to. But Nora has always been soft and compassionate towards him, perhaps the same treatment would be extended to his family too? He patted his back proudly and grinned when she pointed out how he had a built-in parachute aka his wings attached to his back. "I was born lucky, what can I say? Who knows, Len, maybe I can bring you out for a fly sometimes, if you weren't so afraid of the sky" Flying in planes and up in the air itself would be different, he thought. She might not feel the way he does and he couldn't blame her for that because for a nephilim, flying is freeing.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, her choice of favorite snack didn't take him back by surprise because since that day, he noticed her love for cheese is something else so he tried his best to make lasagne and pasta for her plenty. He shook his head when she said that because Julian didn't date around that much, it just didn't occur to him to do those aside one with his late-fiancee, which was a different time entirely. "I haven't dated much after her but I love spoiling my beloved... like you" he murmured softly and brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear, his touch lingering against the crook of her ear gently "I would make them feel so happy they would say they're on top of their world..."</p> He was sincere and she liked…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2022-06-04:6610746:Comment:4319112022-06-04T20:54:37.127Z✓ Eleanora Riley Nordstroemhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/EleanoraNordstroem
<p>He was sincere and she liked that about him, he had sought her out for the exact person she was right now and she had never asked him to be anything different. She offered a small smile when he said he wanted to be her comfort “You are” she pointed out “I’m not an easy person to sway but with you, I feel like I can forget things for a little while” he was so humble and kind to her that it was almost impossible not to get taken away with his sentiment, especially because unlike others who she…</p>

She offered a small smile when he said he wanted to be her comfort “You are” she pointed out “I’m not an easy person to sway but with you, I feel like I can forget things for a little while” he was so humble and kind to her that it was almost impossible not to get taken away with his sentiment, especially because unlike others who she could tell only said things to score a few points here and there, he was the kind of person who proved his words, over and over again. “You really are tireless to your cause” she teased softly and nudged him.</p>

She parted her lips in surprise at his soft little gesture against her hand and then she offered a small smile “Maybe an undercut would work” she suggested with a slight nod of her head, she didn’t want him to change too much, she liked how he looked right now.</p>
<p>Him voicing his concerns about his family scaring her off made her laugh “Well trust me you can’t outdo me on fucked up families so anything would be better by comparison” her voice was a little sarcastic, she didn’t talk much about her parents but when she did, she rarely had anything nice to say. She raised her brows and smiled as he talked about his work and what made him so interested in it “I think every kid has a brief period where they wanna be an astronaut” she definitely did, though she quickly moved on from that phase “At least you have a built-in parachute if needed huh?” she commented and smiled softly, he seemed proud of his work and it showed.</p>
<p>She smiled when he said he wanted to know everything about her “Well I’m not even sure where to start…” she confessed and looked down for a moment before looking up to him “Well my favorite snack is nachos but not the terrible ones you get from stalls or fast-food restaurants, it has to be the real stuff, with salsa…guacamole…lots of cheese sauce” she grinned slightly, she was a bit of a snob when it came to her food but she did love it when it turned out delicious. After a while, she sat across from him and shook her head “No, never…I mean I’ve never really done proper dates full stop…not ones where someone makes an effort to…you know” she laughed and tilted her head “You must have more experience than me right?”</p> "You I can't see that way.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"You I can't see that way. You can't be someone else Len, it'll break my heart… and yours too." All he wants is for her to be herself, even if it's only around him. That's fine, he could take that. "I want to be your comfort." He couldn't help but to chuckle when she pointed out that he must've been a saint from another life "Perhaps I was, and for that I am truly grateful, because only then was I able to get someone like you, right? I can handle you, I will……</span></p>

I can handle you, I will… I don't want anyone else. Why else would I pursue you without resting…? Giving up is definitely a lot easier, especially when it's Eleanora Nordstroem, but I don't think I could live on thinking it's okay, I missed my shot. I had to try." </span></p>

Because my fragile heart might not be able to take it." The nephilim stared at the girl in front of him, pressing her palm against his forehead so she could brush his hair away. He softened his eyes and brushed his thumb against her knuckle gently "Then what suits me?" He might do whatever color she wants, without hesitation. It's hard for Julian to really say no when she was asking anything. Even when it ends up not being an ask. "My sister is crazy, you mean. She would like you and I'm somewhat afraid of that happening… because if she meets you, she's gonna drag you into the craziness that is my family. It's scary, you might pack up and leave" he grumbled. Knowing his sister, that might actually happen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The male rubbed the back of his heard awkwardly and nodded when she asked if he was fascinated "It was a bit unhinged at first, not gonna lie. But when I learned about the technology, all the science that goes behind it? It's remarkable. I wanted to be an astronaut but I don't think birds will fare well in enclosed spaces… so that's a pass. Having a job that involves flying is the best occupation for me." Because it aligns with his interest, which later concludes a good outcome in his work ethic. "I'm scared of you in general baby, you can be scary but I like it too." His cute girl. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Then prove me wrong, I want to know more about you… everything about you, slowly." He was not in a rush and didn't want to push her. Once they were up at the counter, he made his order and waited for her and paid before getting their number. His eyes were searching for a table and literally went straight to the one that was just emptied, tugging her wrist without a care.

<p>She shrugged her shoulders slightly “Isn’t it exhausting to try and reach people’s expectations?” she questioned in a soft voice, especially if the person you were trying to get to like you wanted you to be someone you’re not.

Julian hadn’t asked her to do that, if anything he seemed to embrace her with all of her flaws and that was what made him so different from others she knew. “I don’t want to change myself if that’s the only way someone will see me as someone good” she murmured softly, maybe she wasn’t good but she was who she was, if that wasn’t enough then eventually all she was going to do is let someone down.</p>

She laughed as she attempted to picture him with pink hair in her head “I’m not sure I could even process the idea of you with lighter hair” she teased as she lifted her hand to push his hair out of his face and block it with her palm so she could look at him “I don’t think hot pink is in your cards” she murmured softly.</p>
<p>She grinned slightly “It must be fun just to be able to fly wherever you want to…” it would be enjoyable she was sure and very freeing because you would never really be held back by anything “Your sister sounds like quite the character” she commented and laughed softly, shaking her head slightly “But it’s kinda crazy like someone who can fly all by himself wanted to work in aviation” honestly it made her curious what it was “Do you find it fascinating how the same thing can be replicated with machinery?” it was pretty amazing how far things had come she would admit that much.</p>
<p>She laughed softly when he said she could stand on his feet as long as she wasn’t wearing heels “You’re really scared of my heels now aren’t you?” she jested with an amused smile, she gasped and nudged him back when he hit her side “I can…eat a burger” she commented and grinned sheepishly “I don’t like this judgment I’m getting for having high standards of food…” she murmured softly.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wasn’t particularly afraid that she’d see this other side of him that often repelled people in his life. It wouldn’t be the first time nor will it be the last but despite the worry that sets in his heart, he didn’t think he could just put a smile on her when he’s hiding something else underneath. That doesn’t work with him. He wondered… if she had done the same to him, there was no way, right? They were doing so well so far… nothing else was there to be…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wasn’t particularly afraid that she’d see this other side of him that often repelled people in his life. It wouldn’t be the first time nor will it be the last but despite the worry that sets in his heart, he didn’t think he could just put a smile on her when he’s hiding something else underneath. That doesn’t work with him. He wondered… if she had done the same to him, there was no way, right? They were doing so well so far… nothing else was there to be placed as a potential conflict and Julian hoped it would remain that way. “Because why wouldn’t you want people to like you? Being likable is… a heavy work to do but… I can see why people do it.” Perhaps some cared too much to the point it became unhealthy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He raised his eyebrows and chuckled when she said that “Maybe… Maybe I was tempted to do that too… but hey, if I don’t accept all of you, do I deserve you at all?” That’s always the question, right? The nephilim always found himself going back at that, to ask whether he deserved her or not. She was the one who allowed him in, after all. If she didn’t, then would any of his advances come through? He had that stupid grin plastered on his face when she said the taller the better, he could do with that. He ruffled his hair dramatically and shrugged “I don’t know… I think pink would still be fine, you don’t think I’d rock hot pink? Well, here I was thinking you had my six all the time, such a devious woman.” God she might not be the only one to question it though. </span></p>

If I don’t make use of it, then my sister would just say cut off your wings so I can auction them off” he grumbled and rolled his eyes, she would actually do that and he’s genuinely freaked out. “That and I’m in aeronautics for a reason baby. It’s my job, my whole lifeline that I dedicated myself to.” He didn’t think he could actually give that one up, in any circumstances. When she mentioned a neck ache, he brought his hand up to massage the back of his and grinned sheepishly “I mean, you can stand on my feet, so long as they’re not covered in heels…” Would that even help? He’d still need to look down or she’d need to look up still. “We’ll find a way to get used to it.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He playfully hit her side when she said it was nothing special for lunch “Does your royal highness, not like such things?” he teased, “Because I’d kill for a burger and milkshake right about now, do you know my supervisor has been putting us on this tight diet? It’s killing me to even continue eating chicken breasts.” Soon enough, they reached the entrance where a few were queuing. “Is it bad if I hoped people will go because if we have to queue for another 20 minutes, I’m bailing?” </span></p> She laughed, he always had th…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-12-02:6610746:Comment:4312072021-12-02T22:10:19.870Z✓ Eleanora Riley Nordstroemhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/EleanoraNordstroem
<p>She laughed, he always had this optimistic and jokey nature that she found really charming, though it did make her wonder how much of it was a front he put on because he wanted to show his best side and not a more vulnerable one “Hence why you avoid creating more of them” she chided in response, shaking her head in amusement. “Everyone wants people to like them…god knows we’re all a little weak to that kind of pressure” perhaps she didn’t care about most but when it came to people she was…</p>

<p>Her expression softened a little “But flying is kinda your thing, isn’t it?” she teased with a wry smile, honestly she couldn’t believe that things could really feel this easy with someone, it was such a classic, perhaps even boring date to most but to her it was really the first time she’d allowed herself to just go out and enjoy being by someone’s side. “Wouldn’t be the first time huh?” she smiled remembering the time they had danced around her kitchen. “Though the neck ache can’t be fun for either of us” she teased softly, she supposed they’d get used to it in time though.</p>
<p>She squealed when the water hit her, mostly because of the shock than anything but before long she was laughing it off as she leaned against his side slightly “Somehow I don’t think that’s it at all” she responded in an amused tone as she posed for the photo and thanked the trainer for taking it before heading away by his side. “I’m good with getting lunch…pretty sure the food place was just standard burger and fries kind of deal though so don’t get too excited” she laughed softly and headed towards the sign for the restaurant.</p> He huffed and shrugged when s…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-11-27:6610746:Comment:4302002021-11-27T16:09:56.634Z✓ Julian Nathaniel Lockharthttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Life

Because it’ll be a lie if I said I don’t wish to seek their approval or validation because I do. Like a lot of people, I grew up wanting people to see me in a different light, a positive one.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He shook his head and pulled her closer by the arm when she said that “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, I’ve gotten this far with you and it was</span> <b>not</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">easy, Eleanora Nordstroem, so why would I give up?” That was very unlikely. He made a gesture to his tall height and chuckled “How tall do you like your men anyway?” He was standing at almost 6’3” but his build also made it look like she’s smaller than she actually is. “What if I dyed my hair and it’s no longer dark? Will you still like me then” he teased, that was a stupid question because of how trivial it is but he couldn’t help but take the chance to egg her about it. </span></p>

He likes it. A lot. “If you continue with your words, I swear I’m going to fly and not come down because the ground feels bitter.” The dark-haired nephilim scoffed and stared at her very much threatening heels, when they’re on her, they definitely look pretty and not as dangerous but that’s just on the outside. “If I’m picking you up, Len, I’d take those shoes off</span> <b>first</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, like a gentleman. You can dance with your bare feet for all I care, no heels.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They got themselves slightly wet due to the water splash coming from the dolphin they were posing for, which made him shriek momentarily because, in his defense, that water was cold. “Okay, I was right, the dolphin has a thing for you, it wants to steal you and that’s why it’s pushing</span> <b>me</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">away, third-wheeling... “ He posed for one quick photo and backed away from the tank with a look that said he was judging. “Where to next, my lady?

<p>She laughed, giving him a pointed look when he said that being stubborn was part of his charms “I’m not sure you’re supposed to take that as a compliment” she scolded and shook her head in an exasperated manner, though he wasn’t wrong in saying that his stubbornness was what had gotten him what he wanted in the end “Eventually you’re gonna find it bites you right back you know” she pointed out a tilted her head slightly. “People like to judge things, it gives them the chance to distract…</p>
<p>She laughed, giving him a pointed look when he said that being stubborn was part of his charms “I’m not sure you’re supposed to take that as a compliment” she scolded and shook her head in an exasperated manner, though he wasn’t wrong in saying that his stubbornness was what had gotten him what he wanted in the end “Eventually you’re gonna find it bites you right back you know” she pointed out a tilted her head slightly. “People like to judge things, it gives them the chance to distract themselves from their own lives” she commented and rolled her eyes “Believe me, nothing you do will ever be good enough for the masses so it’s better to quit trying”</p>
<p>She did worry though, it was this natural thing ingrained in her that made her feel like everyone was going to abandon her in the end but every time she thought he would, he was always just there, still fighting to stay in her aura. “Being me is all I’ve got” she commented in a soft voice and nodded “I just hope it doesn’t disappoint you” she wondered at what point she had begun to worry about what he might think of her, she didn’t really know. She closed her eyes and smiled for a moment when he pressed his lips against her head, she laughed when he called her a flatterer “It’s not flattering, just the blunt truth” she corrected him and allowed a wry smile to cross her lips “I’d definitely say that’s the type of guy that gets my attention” she commented with a grin “Though you are really raising the bar on the tall part” she teased.</p>

She laughed when he pointed out he didn’t want to fall victim to her shoes “Don’t worry, they’re very much intended to stay on my feet, though if you dance with me while I’m wearing them, you might wanna watch out” she teased playfully.</p>
<p>She nodded when he questioned whether he should be in the photo and she leaned against him as they posed for the photo, the dolphins getting excited behind them by having new company, she was about to reply to his comment about being jealous of a dolphin when she suddenly felt a chill from water coming from behind them which quickly came in waves, making her squeal as she turned around to see the dolphin playfully splashing them. She paused for a moment before looking up at Julian and bursting into laughter.</p> His grin only grew when she t…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-09-29:6610746:Comment:4294142021-09-29T15:55:15.207Z✓ Julian Nathaniel Lockharthttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Life

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His grin only grew when she told him how stubborn he's being "Why thank you my fair lady, my sister has always said that's my…</span> <b>charming</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">point" he chuckled and winked playfully "But if I'm not stubborn then I wouldn't be here today so I'll never stop thanking that part." He didn't see any wrong in it, not when it gave him the opportunity to see her in a different light. To see her as someone more than just a boss. "You know I had people telling me I should just stop waiting and start seeking someone else on my own and when I do exactly that, people make fun of how long I was willing to wait for that other person. How does that work?" After his fiancee's death, it hasn't been easy for the nephilim so the fact that he could find another love in his life was more than something for him. It's the reason why he refused to give up on Nora. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7a6a43e6dad79c2c025a3106ae163866/tumblr_nxfvvr15PI1skawvvo6_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7a6a43e6dad79c2c025a3106ae163866/tumblr_nxfvvr15PI1skawvvo6_250.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>"Oh don't worry, I think I'll find a lot of what I want in you" he reassured gently, he had more time to get to know her better and they can take it slow, he was never one to rush anyway. "You just continue being you… I hope you know I'll never ask you to change anything. At all." Well, maybe he was a bit too quick on that considering this might come back to bite him in the ass but for now, he means it. Julian scoffed and shook his head as he ruffled her hair playfully, pulling her close to him so he could kiss her forehead "I never knew you could such a flatterer" he teased. But god does it feel good to be complimented by her. "Preference wise, do you like those? Tall… dark… handsome?" The dhampir wasn't the first to call him loyal, but its a trait Julian is proud of, he believes nothing could really go wrong with that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I don't abandon the ones I care about. If they're my people, then they'll be my people until the end of time. Which means… if you're my person, then you're going to be my person until you yourself cut that string." Even so, nothing could guarantee he'd move on and forget about her even if that happens. He instinctively distanced himself from her and whined "You better not use</span> <b>those</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">against me, I feel like I'm going to have a whole week of complaining even if it was by accident." Nora was being so excited and giddy when she heard she was able to take a picture with the dolphins, it was endearing. How cute could she be? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He pointed to himself in surprise when she said it was going to be a picture of both of them. The instructor nodded and Julian gave his phone to them as he went to stand next to her, with one hand wrapped around her waist as he pulled her close, posing with a smile "Actually I can, dolphins are still animals… living beings. Anything that breathes and is alive can be subjected to my jealousy." </span></p> She bit softly on her lip whe…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-28:6610746:Comment:4290212021-08-28T20:40:30.200Z✓ Eleanora Riley Nordstroemhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/EleanoraNordstroem
<p>She bit softly on her lip when he spoke about being forthcoming, she wasn’t the type to chase someone and honestly she found it too hard to believe that someone would actually like her to take them seriously when they tried to ask her out “You’re too stubborn for your own good” she teased him in return, he was right that it was his perseverance that had made her begin to drop her walls a little, made her believe for just a second, maybe she could deserve him, deserve this. “It’s definitely…</p>
<p>She bit softly on her lip when he spoke about being forthcoming, she wasn’t the type to chase someone and honestly she found it too hard to believe that someone would actually like her to take them seriously when they tried to ask her out “You’re too stubborn for your own good” she teased him in return, he was right that it was his perseverance that had made her begin to drop her walls a little, made her believe for just a second, maybe she could deserve him, deserve this. “It’s definitely one of your charms...even if I have no idea how you could be so” if he was smarter he would have already moved onto the next girl but she wasn’t going to question it any longer, he had the right to choose who he wanted.</p>
<p>“I just hope you...find what you’re looking for...with me” she murmured softly, she could try to be the person he saw her as, she could try to be better for him because she wanted him to keep looking at her the way he did today, that soft, caring look she’d never experienced with anyone else before. “Some other guy isn’t going to...make me feel the way you do” she confessed in a soft voice and looked down for a moment, she’d never had someone adore her before the way he seemed to, it made her feel all fluttery just looking at him. “Besides have you seen yourself...tall...dark...handsome...I’m not sure more attractive even exists” she teased as she patted gently against his cheeks.</p>

She made a note in her mind that she should never betray that level of trust he placed in her, she wanted to be worth him. She rocked on her heels and laughed when he commented on her ability to wear heels so high “Sometimes a small girl just needs to look tall for a night” she commented and giggled softly “And you’re right, they do make excellent weapons” she teased playfully.</p>
<p>She pouted her lips when he patted her head and smiled softly, she was enjoying their time at the aquarium, it reminded her that she needed to make effort to take days out like this more often, because she really enjoyed just forgetting about work and getting lost in the scenery around her. She had more reason to now she had someone to go with right? She rolled her eyes at his cheesy likening to the dolphin and nudged him slightly in jest “I could only hope to be a strong as she is” she spoke softly, it was hard to impress her and yet this little dolphin had done as much. After they headed down to the pool and she smiled sheepishly when they said she could take a photo with the dolphins, she moved in front and smiled softly for the camera “You can’t get jealous of a dolphin” she insisted and laughed softly creating a natural photo before she turned to the instructor “Could you take a picture of...both of us?” she questioned as she looked up at Julian and smiled.</p>
