Fandom: Twilight
Pairing: Marcus/Seth
Prompt: First times
There's a first time for everything. At least, that's what I've always been told. I've come to believe that it's true given everything that has happened to me in the last ten years.
The first time I saw a vampire… I'll admit it, I was afraid. I soon learned that I didn't have anything to fear from the Cullens. Edward and I actually became friends. Actually, I became friends the whole family. That was also a first.
Then came the time when the other vampires came to Forks. By other I mean the Volturi. Edward said they were like vampire royalty. He wasn't wrong. It wasn't the first time vampires with red eyes had come to Forks… but it was the first time I saw him.
Carlisle told me that the sad looking vampire's name was Marcus. Marcus. I loved the way it rolled off my tongue. It wasn't an imprint, I would have known if it was that… but there was just something that drew me to him.
Aro wanted a pet to experiment with and somehow I caught his attention. I was scared then too. Thankfully I somehow caught Marcus' attention as well and he became my protector. It was a first in a long time for him.
Our first kiss wasn't all that magical. I had thought it would be, but given the circumstances… yeah, I was hurt by another vampire and Marcus was scared. But I still look back on it fondly. It was our first kiss after all. Many more followed that first.
Now, the first time that was memorable, heh, oh yeah that was as memorable as it fucking gets. Marcus made love to me in a hidden garden under the stars. It was beautiful, it was romantic, it was hot as hell. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
I should be sleeping but I can't help but lie on my stomach and watch through half-lidded eyes as Marcus walks our two day old daughter back to sleep. I know there's a sleepy smile on my face but I can't help it, it's just such a beautiful sight. Katharine defies all the odds, she's the first of her kind, my and Marcus' first child. Who knew I could even have kids? It's something I've thought about a lot but something I wouldn't change for the world.
Yeah, there's a first time for everything. I wouldn't change any of my firsts.
