Hosie Stories

Story 12 - "Going Home for the Holidays"

Based: After 2x16
It doesn't follow the plot of Season 3 at all.
The title is pretty terrible, I know. It was all I could think of. If you have any better suggestions, then feel free to comment them.
Inspired by a tweet from youngwolf8 on Twitter. I think her tweet was inspired by somebody else's, but never the less it gave me an idea to write. This is quite short compared to some of my other stuff. Hope you all like it :)

It's that time of year again when students are preparing for Thanksgiving. The school is getting emptier by the day as people of all ages are returning home to their families. Those who don't have a home to go to, or are choosing to stay, can have dinner at the school. The staff always do a big feast each year, because they don't want anyone to feel left out. They make sure everyone is cared for.

It's all so very human for a school of supernaturals.

Josie is staying behind with her sister, and they are going to spend the time with Alaric and Caroline (who is taking some time away from research about the Merge). Lizzie is ecstatic - she truly can't wait to see her mother. She's ready to tell her all about the drama at the school, and more importantly the recent drama in her love life. Caroline already knows who MG is, but Lizzie wants to know what her mother will have to say when she says that she's caught feelings for the boy. Whilst her twin, who is beyond excited to see her mother too, is also devastated to be spending time apart from Hope.

Hope Mikaelson. Her girlfriend. Her everything.

Their relationship is still relatively new and fresh, and one of the best parts of Josie's life (although to be honest she never expected they'd end up as anything more than best friends). It is what made adjusting back to life at the school that much easier after the whole situation with dark magic. She's still not taken her siphon power out of the coin, but she's trusting herself more and more with each day that goes by. The days after she was back to her normal self, some students felt the need to make horrible comments or push her in the corridors. Now, nobody would dare mess with Josie after learning of her relationship with Hope. Maybe some of them had tried a few times, and all it took was Hope's golden eyes to send them running away like children.

Josie finds Hope's protectiveness cute, but also kind of hot. She'd never tell Hope that though.

It's actually kind of funny to her, to think of everything that has happened to get them to where they are now. She's been pining for Hope since she was twelve, and once they got together, Josie learned that Hope has been pining for her for just as long. It was a shock to her, but more than anything it made her want to make up for the lost time. So, she constantly showers Hope with affection, giving the tribrid everything she deserves and more.

Then there was the whole Malivore thing, Josie's brief relationship with Landon, who unfortunately passed away after being stabbed by the golden arrow. Hope also dated him too, but broke up with him when she realized she had feelings for Josie. There was also Josie's relationship, which wasn't really that much of a relationship, with Jade. Josie had her dark phase, which Hope rescued her from.

Until, finally, one rainy day the pair confessed how they feel, and shared the most perfect kiss. Josie felt like it was something out of a fairytale, one that she never wants to end. She'll never forget the feeling of Hope's lips against hers or the way in which Hope said she feels the same.

Only she won't be able to do that for two weeks because Hope is going back to New Orleans. Two whole weeks. Fourteen days of not being able to kiss her, to hold her. Fourteen days where she can't get lost in those perfect blue eyes, where she can't tell Hope how completely beautiful she is. One thing she does know is that she won't stop thinking of Hope the entire time she's gone, and she'll be counting down the seconds until she returns.
