This is my new fanfiction,
i have decided to write this fanfiction due to popular demand.
before you read this i might suggest you read my first Story 'Buria', just to get a feel of Gavin, he is only in the last half though. so you could just read that.
but i will go into back story and details so you don't have to worry to much.
i am glad to write this because i really fell in love with this character while i was writing him into my other story.
i have decided to leave my other story 'The change up' on hiatus, i feel like it is draining me to write it, because its been told over and over. so untill i can think of a cool way to change it up im going to leave it and be working on this.
anyway i hope you Enjoy this story.
(some of these characters and places are not of my own creation, they are the work of )
Hi my Name is Gavin Tobin, and this is my story.
So basically my life at the moment kinda rocks.
I live at the Royal court where I work. I am a guardian, to oh… you know just the Queen. Whatever, no big deal. I am second in charge, but that doesn't bother me, because my boss Guardian Hathaway is one of my best friends. And did I mention she is also banging hot.
The summer of 2015 started just like any but then it got a little weird. . .
"Excuse me Your Majesty, but would it be possible if I could leave a bit early please?" Queen Vasilissa Dragomir, was sitting behind her desk, reading and highlighting some of her never ending paper work. She looked up at me from where I was standing in the doorway and gave a smile.
"Of course Guardian Tobin, you have been working so very hard lately. I really appreciate it. You and Rosemarie make a great team. The others really listen and look up to you both." She said pride in her voice.
"Thank you Queen Lissa. That means a lot to hear that from you, Rose and I just do our best to keep you safe and make your life easier. If only one of us could help you with that never ending paper work." I laughed and she joined in.
"Uh! That would just be amazing, I can only speak for Rose, but she is much better with her hands than with thousand year old documents and laws," Lissa smiled fondly. " I don't know if I could trust her not to do something like eat a cheese burger over them, or make paper planes out of them." Lissa chuckled.
"I'm very much the same Ma'am. I'm not one for sitting for long periods of time." I smiled.
"Ants in your pants. Just like my Guardian Hathaway. You should have seen her when she was in jail, she walked holes in the concrete." Lissa was interrupted by an email alert on her Mac. She let out a sigh. "Mmm another council meeting, tonight." She sounded tired. Lissa looked up at me and gave me a weary smile. "Well off with you then Guardian Tobin, go do whatever it is you have planned, we'll all be fine here."
I looked around at the 4 other guardian's stationed in this room, they were all alert and ready for anything. "Okay Men, I will be leaving, but Guardian Hathaway will be here soon, stay alert, stay focussed and don't do anything stupid. And if the Queen tries to use the letter opener again, take it from her, she is dangerous with that thing." All the guardians nodded so I knew they were listening and Lissa gave me a playful scalding look.
"Okay, out with you. I will make sure they behave." Lissa motioned me out of the room and I complied. I couldn't' wait to get home. My best friend from Australia was staying with me for the weekend. And I hadn't seen him in person in almost a year.
You could say I was a little excited.
As I was walking towards my car, I ran into non-other than Rose Hathaway herself. She was in her guardian gear –hair in a tight bun, tight black pants, black t-shirt and a leather jacket- She stopped when she saw me and gave me a puzzled look.
"Where are you off too? I thought we had an hour shift together before you left?" she asked.
"Yeah we did, but Lissa let me leave early. I have a friend coming from Australia and I'm going to go pick him up from the Airport, if you can call it that." I smiled.
"Yep, I know there are only two planes, one goes to New Jersey, the other Florida." We both laughed. "What have you nerds got planned for his trip, I mean there is just sooo much to do here right." Rose said, sarcasm dripping from every word.
"Well I thought tonight that we would go to one of the clubs in the court, have him meet some of my friends here." I replied.
"Oh, I wasn't aware that you had friends Gavvy boy." She grinned.
"Yeah, the janitorial staff and I have really hit it off, oh and that canteen lady." I said dryly.
"The one with the eye patch, and the really long nose hairs?" Rose asked hiding a smile.
"Indeed, I find those things really endearing in a women. She really turns me on, the way she ladles that green bean soup, mmm." I made a low grunting noise and both Rose and I doubled over laughing.
"You're so freaking gross Tobin. The eye patch I could live with, but not the nose hairs, it's just too easy to fix that shit." Rose replied breathless from laughing.
"But really Rose, I would really appreciate it if you and Dimirti and the gang could come down to 'The Bite Bar 'and meet my friend Dean. I know he will love you guys, especially you Rose. He has a thing for brunets. Especially ones that can kick his ass." I chuckled.
Rose smiled and nodded. "Sure, I would love to come and meet one of your Australian 'Mates' say a quick G'day." She grinned, saying the words in the worst attempt at an Australian Accent I'd ever heard.
"Wow, you suck at that. You sounded like you were from Puberty Blues." I said with a smirk.
"I have no idea what you're talking about and I don't think I want to," She laughed. "well I better get to Lissa, make sure those other guardian's aren't letting her near the letter opener again."she smiled patting my arm before starting to walk away.
"I already warned them." I called out.
"Good boy." she yelled out turning her head and giving me one of her knee weakening smirks, before turning the corner out of view.
I went all out for Dean, I even made him one of those signs that drivers hold up at airports, granted I wrote it on the back of a phone bill, with a crayon I had found rolling around in my back seat. –With no recollection on how it had gotten there.—
When Dean came out from his gate with his luggage he came bounding over to me, all 6 foot 7 of him. Dean and I were the studs of St. Agatha's in Australia. Where I had dark hair and blue eyes, Dean had golden blonde hair and gold eyes. The only thing the same about us was our builds. – tall, lots of muscle and tanned skin- all evidence of our race –dhampirs.—
Dean dropped his bag at my feet and we shared a hug. –a manly, chest crushing, back bruising hug.-
"Dude, it is so great to see you, how have you been? How is Royal Guarding treating you?" Dean asked, picking his bag back up and following me to my car.
"Really great man, guarding the Queen is awesome. I actually get to see quite a bit of action, which I'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing. But its great." I replied.
"Awesome, and how is that banging hot chick you work under?" he asked. "You, ah banged her yet man?"
"No," I laughed and shook my head at him. "She has a boyfriend. I told you that."
"What?, and you don't think you could take him? Gavin. You're a fucking awesome dhampir, you could take him." Dean and I weren't just top of the school with the ladies, we were also the best at fighting. Nobody ever bet Dean, but me. So he didn't believe anyone could beat me.
"Dean man, Rose the dhampir I work under, we are like neck for neck with our skills, and her boyfriend. Dimitri, was her mentor at St. Vlad's so imagine how good he is." I answered laughing. Even if I knew I could win, I wouldn't fight Dimitri. Even though we had been through some rough times, he was an al-right guy sometimes.
"Whatever you loser, maybe I'll fight him for her, from the way you described her she sounds exactly my type, and I bet you like all those other girls at St. Agatha's she will be all over me in seconds flat." I rolled my eyes at him. Dean had always been full of himself, even when we were just kids.
When we got back to the court I took Dean straight to my little apartment, living here reminded me of being back at St. Agatha's or at St. B's. My apartment was on the west side of the court the building reminded me of dorm rooms, But there was only about 4 apartments in this building, and one of those happened to be Rose and Dimitri's. Lissa and Rose thought it would be a good idea that we both were close to Lissa –her house was next door- and close to Rose. Dimitri on the other hand, he didn't think so.
Dean walked in and dropped his luggage at the door, looking around curiously. "Well, it's no Taj Mahal, but it goes alright aye?" Dean said dropping into the black cord couch. Every one of the apartments in this building had the same couch. It seems like Queen Ivashkov didn't have an eye for interior design.
"Yeah, well it's big enough for just me." I shrugged my shoulders walking into the little kitchen, the apartment was very much open plan, so you could see straight into the living room. No doors. "You thirsty? Hungry?" I asked.
"Yeah man, I would kill for a hamburger or something." He replied, getting up and walking over to me.
I opened the door to my fridge and grunted. Looking over my shoulder at Dean I laughed. He just shook his head.
"Wow Gav, do you even grocery shop?" he shoved my shoulder and I shoved him back.
"Come on you big lug. Let's go get something to eat at one of the restaurants here or something." I said closing my very bare fridge.
"Good idea man, cause I don't know what kind a meal you can make out of: one highly blackened banana, a carton of milk –that is probably off or empty—honey, and what looks like it could have been a tomato in a past life." He snickered.
"A pretty fucking disgusting smoothie?" I snorted.
We chose to go to one of the little café's in the public part of the court. It was one I had been to with Rose on more than one occasion for lunch and strategy meetings. They had great cheeseburgers.
Dean an I went up to the glass bay-marie, the lady with the eye patch and long nose hairs was serving, I couldn't help but smile to myself. Dean got his hamburger and a side of fries, while I got one of their famous cheeseburgers and a glazed doughnut.
Eye patch brought our orders over and as she placed our plates down she gave me a not so subtle wink –with her non eye patched eye— before walking back into the kitchen. I couldn't help but choke on the sip of my water I had just taken.
"Gav, you never told me you had a thing for old lady pirates." He whispered giving me a not so soft punch in the arm. "But I totally get it. Those nose hairs." He shivered, before we both broke out in loud laughter.
"Well, well. What is so funny boys?" a sugary voice asked. I looked up to see Rose standing at our table, still in her guardian gear, but with her beautiful hair now out and curling around her delicate face.
"Uh if it isn't Rosemarie Hathaway." I smiled up at her, she grinned wide at me, then at Dean. Dean's eyes almost bludged out of his head, but he composed himself quickly, puffing out his chest.
"Scooch over baby-cheeks," Rose said sitting down in the booth beside me, shuffling her but into my legs till I moved over enough for her to sit. "You must be Gavin's friend from Down under." She smiled reaching her small hand out over the table to him. "I'm Guardian Hathaway, but you can just call me Rose."
Dean took her hand shaking it, one of his usual lady killed smiles plastid on his face, he kissed the back of her hand softly, his lips lingering. "I'm Guardian Dean Mars. But you can call me . . . any-time you like." He winked at her. Rose looked at me with a shocked face.
"Wow, well, how forward of you," she laughed, pulling her hand back. "How come all you Australia boys are so damn good looking? What do they do over there, make you in test tubes?" she smiled, laying her arm delicately over my shoulders.
"Yeah, but wouldn't they make us all smart too then? Dean here is a dumb as they come. Doesn't seem like something scientists would do on purpose." I chuckled.
"Uh like you can talk dick, I think your mum dropped you on your head one too many times as a baby, that's why it's so flat." Dean laughed.
Rose made a soft cooing noise at my fake hurt look. "Hey there is nothing wrong with Gavin's head, yeah it's a little on the flat side, but hey! Everyone has their flaws right?" she laughed.
"Yeah and what is yours Rose?" Dean asked, arching his eyebrow curiously.
"Well actually I can't do that." she pointed right at Dean's brows. I remembered her telling me once when I arched my brow at her, how she had always wanted to be able to but couldn't. I tried to teach her but it was hopeless. It was like trying to teach someone how to whistle or how to roll your tongue –impossible-
"That is not a real flaw, Rose." He laughed. "being able to do it is a skill, and clearly you're not very skilled." He smirked playfully.
"Ohhh! Dean my boy, those are fighting words if I ever did hear any." She laughed.
"Yeah? I could take you Hathaway." He joked.
"Uh I wouldn't go their man, Rose would hand you your ass is seconds. I told you this already, you're no match for those skills. Like you're no match for my skills." I laughed.
Rose nodded her head, playing with her hair. "Mhmm, I would hate to send you to the hospital on your first day here." She smiled playfully, picking my glazed doughnut and taking a large bite out of it.
"Hey, go get your own," I laughed, pinching at her sides playfully.
"No, I want yours." She laughed slapping my hands away, before shoving the whole thing in her mouth. I laughed and shook my head at her. "So I have tonight off, so I can come to the club with you guys later. and I asked a couple of the others and they said they could come, but Dimitri can't, he has some special business to attend to." She smiled wide.
"Ahh, so it is just me and you tonight babe." Dean said slyly.
"Okay, there are three things wrong with all of that. Number one, it is you and I. number two, you, me, Gavin and hundreds of other people, and number three, don't call me babe until you earn it. Got it." She said smirking playfully.
"I got it, I'm sure by the time the night is out, I will have earned the rights to call you anything I like." He grinned at her. Most guys would be put off with Rose's no non-sense bull shit, but I think that is what turned Dean on sometimes. He was getting tired of the girls' just falling in love with him instantly. He liked to have to woo a girl every now and again.
"Okay . . ." she laughed and turned to me. "where will I meet you guys?" she asked.
"Uh how about we come pick you up at your apartment and we can walk there together?"
"Sounds great." She replied getting up. "What time?"
"Mmm, 9—10?" I said unsure.
"Let's meet half way. 9:30," She smiled and looked at Dean. "See you then Hercules." She said snapping up some of Dean's fries and then strutting away.
"Ohh, she looks damn fine from the front and the back." He said still looking at the door way she had walked through. "So you really don't think we could take this boyfriend of hers?" he asked laughing.
"No Dean, I told you Dimitri is like a God, you will understand when you meet him." I laughed and shook my head, just imagining the beat down Dean would receive if he went up against Dimitri for Rose. I'm sure Rose would even join in and beat Dean's ass for his medieval reviews on women.
"Right, so how long has it been man? Like a couple days? weeks? "he watched my face as I looked down his voice growing concerned. "Months? Crap man please tell me it hasn't been . . .years?"
I let out a loud sigh and looked up at him, folding my arms across my chest. "Not that it has anything to do with you but it has been 11 months since I . . . had sexual relations with a women." I replied a little sheepishly.
"Fuck! Gavin! Man! Wait . . . wasn't that when you were with . . .oh shit man seriously?" he thumped his hand on the table. "God, you have to get over it man, so some bird broke your heart and cheated on you, you have to get over it and get yourself some fresh action."
"Dean, she wasn't just some 'bird'" I sighed, I hated thinking about this. "I thought she was you know 'the one'."
"I know, but do you really think all that true love and 'the one' bull crap is really real? I'm pretty sure every girl I've slept with has been 'the one' at one stage or another. But eventually you get over it." He said gripping my shoulder as we walked back to my place.
"I know I know, I need to get over it, but I just haven't found anyone I've been so focused on work." I replied trying to make up for it.
"Well tonight, I'm going to make you get over that bitch Blair, and find a new girl who can be your 'the one'."
"Dean, you can't just fine 'the one' in one night." I replied, but he shut me down with the look on his face.
"I don't want to hear another negative thing come out of that mouth of yours buddy." He said sternly. "Now let's go suit up and shit, use some fancy cologne and find you a lady you can break your drought with." he said, i was actually a little terrified. because Dean was being dead-set serious. he probably wouldn't rest tonight till i had some random chick in my bed.
What did you think?
i love Gavin! i kind of see him as a little bit of a mix between Jace from Mortal Instruments, & Stefan from the vampire diaries
-Stefan/Paul Wesley is who he looks like in my mind-
