《To Be Loved By A Mikaelson | Hayley Marshal》Mr. Big Heart
Advertisement
Gabriel and Hayley walk hand and hand down the side walk idly chatting about everything but nothing at the same time.
"What was your childhood like?" Hayley peers up at him curiously. "Elijah had shown me from his point of view but there wasn't very much of you in it. Now that I think of it, you were only in small flashes as a teenager."
Gabriel avoids her eyes and sighs lowly when he realizes she wouldn't give this up. "Well I wasn't around a lot because I was married." He admitted.
Hayley gasps in surprise before barking out a laugh. "No way!"
"Have you ever heard of Tatia?" He looks down at her with a small smirk.
"Every once in a while I hear something about her from your brothers, why?" She narrows her eyes at him.
"I was married to her sister." He exhales as he remembers the crazy woman. "Never date a Petrova." He shudders.
"That bad?" She comments amused.
"She tried to get pregnant so many times but I just couldn't stomach the thought of a child with her." He seriously says. I
"Would you ever want children? I mean if Klaus can have them I assume you can." She nervously laughs.
"Only if it was with the right little wolf." He winks at her and begins waking away while she stands there absolutely shocked.
With her face bright red she runs after him. "What are you staring at?" She questions confused and follows his line of vision.
He points at a woman that was maybe in her early twenties and shivering on a bench while her young child cuddled up to her coat. They both looked malnourished and freezing. "She just gave her daughter her coat so that she wouldn't freeze."
When he begins to walk across the street Hayley grabs him arm in confusion. "What're you doing?"
"Just follow me." He says with a warm smile.
As they start getting closer to the woman and child they notice the mother tightening her arms around the child in a frightened way.
"We mean no harm." Gabriel assures her with a friendly smile.
The lady still looked wary but Gabriel ignored it. Taking off his jacket he slowly hands it to the woman and begins taking out his wallet.
"I-I can't accept this." The lady's bottom lip wobbles as she frantically shakes her head.

"Please, I have more than enough." He assures her.
Hayley steps up to introduce herself. "Hi I'm Hayley, how come you guys aren't staying in a warming shelter?" She says concerned.
"They're all full." The lady says in shame.
While Hayley talks to the woman Gabriel bends down to speak to the child. "Hello, I'm Gabriel."
"Hewo Briel." The little girl shyly waves.
"I have a present for you. But it has to be our secret." He whispers playfully.
She looks up to see her mother distracted and quickly nods her head. Gabriel slyly puts it in her hand and covers it.
"What is this?" The little girl questions dumb founded.
"Give it to your mommy when I'm gone okay? Promise." He holds out his pinky finger.
She slowly but surely hooks her tiny pinky with Gabriel's large one. "Pwomise." She whispers.
Gabriel stands up off of his knees and dusts his pants off.
"They'll let you stay there, I promise." Hayley swears as she gives the name of a small shelter not very known a few blocks down.
"It's time to go love." Gabriel says as he places his hand on her lower back and begins to lead them away.
"Gabriel I'm not done talking." She exclaims and tries to turn around but when the mother wasn't looking he speeds them behind a nearby building. "What is wrong with you!" She argues. "I was trying to help that woman and her child, god damn it Gabriel I know what it's like to be all alone and homeless. I was homeless I had no where to go and-"
Gabriel quickly places his lips on her slightly chapped ones and she slowly melts into the Kiss. Pulling away he simply whispers, "Watch."
Pulling her towards the edge of the road where they were still hidden they watch the little girl poke the mother's shoulder and animatedly talk.
The mother visibly gasps with tears in her eyes as she sees the money and looks around for the couple she had seen moments prior. She hugs the little girl and hurriedly picks her up walking in a different direction that Gabriel could only hope was a store or hotel.
"Why would you do that?" Hayley emotionally questions.
He smiles down at her short form and brushes a piece of hair out of her face. "Because I hope that if that was ever the mother of my child and my kid that someone would do the same for them."

"God damn Hormones." Hayley aggressively wipes her tears away and Gabriel laughs pulling her into his chest.
"Well I love your hormones." Gabriel kisses her forehead and that only makes her let out a sob. "Why are you so sad love?" He laughs a bit.
"I'm not sad! I'm happy!" She cries even more.
Gabriel's pulls back and kisses away her tears from her cheeks. "I think it's time we get some food in you."
"Me too." She blubbers.
Gabriel almost cooes but holds himself back for her sake. "Come on there's a Popeyes a few blocks away."
After Hayley finally calms her tears down they continue their walk down three blocks straight into Popeyes.
They get up to the cash register and Gabriel gently nudges her arm. "Order whatever you want, I'm paying."
"You don't have to pay." She immediately shakes her head.
"Of course I do, what do you take me for a barbarian?" He replies. "And besides, you didn't bring your wallet." He laughs.
She shoves him with a smile and turns towards the cashier who was smiling at the two. "I'll have a six piece tenders meal."
Hayley turns to Gabriel waiting for him to order and notices he's raising his eye brow at her in a 'really' manner.
Sighing he turns towards the cashier and says. "Make that a ten piece with large fries. Oh, and make the drink a large vanilla milk shake."
The cashier nods and finishes their order and Gabriel guides Hayley to a booth in the back.
"Why'd you change my order? Are we sharing?" Hayley questioned.
Gabriel shakes his head. "You're a pregnant wolf Hayley, I know you eat more than six pieces of chicken tenders."
Hayley looks down at the table blushing and Gabriel reaches out to grab her hand. "No ones judging you, especially not me. I absolutely adore the fact that you can eat a whole pizza to yourself."
Hayley throws her head back in laughter while Gabriel just gazes at her fondly.
After calming down Hayley speaks. "It's so crazy."
"What is?" He questions confused.
"A year ago I didn't even know you existed, I was scheming with a professor to find my family, I mean I thought Tyler Lockwood was hot!" She scrunches up her face in disgust.
"Tyler Lockwood really?" Gabriel muses unamused.
"Oh yeah." Hayley nods her head. "I stayed with him for a while in Mystic Falls."
He rolls his eyes in annoyance. "That pup is pathetic."
"Pup?" Hayley questions in humor.
"Mhm." He nods, a large smirk growing on his face. "He thought his wolf stood a chance against mine one night, he was about an inch away from death."
"What happened? I mean not that I'm saying you should've but why didn't you kill him?" She leans forward now intrigued.
Gabriel suddenly looks away uncomfortably and she pieces one and one together.
"Caroline?" She says and he wordlessly nods.
The worker brings a tray Of food to their table with a warm smile. "You two are such a cute couple, my husband use to bring me on cute little dates like this all the time." She gushes before wishing them well and going back to work.
"A date huh?" Hayley raises a brow with a wide smile.
"I guess so." Gabriel's smile matching her own. Patting the spot next to him he says, "Come sit over here."
"Why?" She asks confused.
"You're too far." He mock pouts.
Hayley rolls her eyes playfully and moves to the other side of the booth.
Gabriel puts his arm around her shoulder and pulls her closer. Nuzzling his face into her neck he mumbles, "God you're perfect."
Hayley just grins and starts to eat her food but Gabriel stays in the same exact spot, laying small kisses on her neck here and there making her squirm.
He runs his lips all the way up her neck to her jaw and groans. Hayley looks at him confused as to why he was groaning but laughs when she notices him trying to subtly shift his pants.
She holds the milkshake to his lips and he gladly takes a sip, giving her a sweet kiss afterwards in thanks.
"I wish we could stay like this forever." Gabriel sighs.
And at that exact moment his phone rung he threw his head back with a frustrated growl knowing he had jinxed himself.

8 129Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
