Okay, so here's my first Blood and Chocolate fanfic. It's been in my head for a while, so I finally decided to just write it out. I hope you like it.

I own nothing!


Aiden stood there, with his friends. Vivien stared at him. She was glad he couldn't see the look on her face, because it probably would have wilted flowers. It was her last day of school here; the pack would be moving to its new Vermont home the next day. However, Gabriel would be leaving later today, with her. She remembered Gabriel hurriedly dashing to and fro, making sure everything was properly packed and everyone was ready. She had scolded him not to worry, kissing him passionately. That had shut him up. Vivien smiled as she thought of the passionate nights they shared. It had been almost a month since she'd realized that Gabriel was the right mate for her, and her and Gabriel's relationship had blossomed into what Vivian thought was love. They had a very teasing and open relationship, with no secrets. They had bared their souls to each other, and had liked what they saw. There were no secrets, like there had been with Aiden. That was what she was here today to do. The Four, as they were now known, hadn't come today. Vivian had come only to say one thing. And now she was to chicken to do it. He glanced up, and saw her, standing in the shadows. His expression was priceless; he looked like a deer in the headlights. She threw him a dazzling smile, before turning around and walking back to her house, knowing he was probably watching her and not caring. Just outside the school, Gabriel waited.

"Did you do what you wanted to, love?" Gabriel asked, as she climbed onto the back of his motorcycle. Normally, he wouldn't have picked it up, because they didn't want to flaunt their relationship. But it was her last day in this town, so Vivian didn't care as she slid the helmet on.

"I realized he wasn't worth it. I've got more important things to worry about." I answered, grabbing his waist as he started the motorcycle, garnering quite a few looks.

"Like?"

"Like you." She answered, as they sped forward. They stopped at her house, grabbing her bag. Vivian quickly said goodbye to Esmé. Next, she and Gabriel visited the various pack members, reminding them to be ready to leave tomorrow. Finally, they were. The whole thing had only taken about two hours. They got on the motorcycle, and began to Vermont, where they would check out the property a final time and decide what the chores would be for the rest of the pack to work on. They would be restoring the property, and turning it into an inn. It would be named "The Luna" which was cause for all the pack to laugh. Her thoughts of her future home were interrupted, when Gabriel asked her if she wanted to stop for food. She nodded against his back, and they pulled into a small pizza joint. As they entered, she put her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately, not caring who stared. They would be out of this place soon. She laughed, and took his hand, as they walked towards their table. He twirled her around, landing another quick kiss. They heard a sharp gasp, and turned to see Aiden and his friends sitting in a booth directly across from there's. This will be fun, Vivien thought sarcastically. She looked around to see if there were any other seats, and luck of all lucks, there were none. Not a single one. They were stuck her. Gabriel looked at her, silently asking if she wanted to just leave. She shrugged and sat down, with a grunt that she hoped he would understand to mean she was hungry. He chuckled, and sat down across from her, his massive frame taking up most of the booth. They both placed their orders, and sat, waiting. They talked a little about the inn, and what they planned to do with it. They didn't talk about the pack thought; the tables were close, and Aiden looked as if he was listening to every word. Gabriel threw a brief glance at him, before turning on her.

"Want to make him miserable?" he whispered, with a devilish grin. Vivien was shocked; normally Gabriel was above something like this, but hey, it would be fun. She nodded, smiling. "So, Viv, you know we've been together for a year now, right?" he asked, accenting the year part. She smiled as she saw Aiden flinch.

"Sure, baby." She said sultrily, and saw Gabriel's eyes briefly cloud over with lust before he returned to the present.

"Well, I was thinking. I know you'd want a big romantic gesture, but I love you, Viv. Will you marry me? And I'm always serious about things like this." Suddenly, Vivian understood why he had been so willing to use this to embarrass Aiden. It was the perfect opportunity for him, and she saw a brief flicker of unease run through his eyes. She forgot all about Aiden, and answered.

"No way." Gabriel looked shocked and hurt, and she thought she saw Aiden smile. What she said next wiped the smile of her face. "I wouldn't marry an idiot, and you're an idiot to think I would actually say no." Gabriel smiled.

"You mean, you'll marry me?" He asked, looking happy but just a little confused.

"Of course!" She shouted, and kissed him over the table. She saw Aiden suddenly shoot up from his chair, and walk outside. She and Gabriel didn't care thought, as they quickly ate their pizza, staring at each other. They finished, paid, and walked outside. Gabriel went to get the motorcycle from where it was parked, and Vivian stood, waiting. Suddenly, she sensed a presence behind her, and turned to see Aiden.

"Hey, Vivian." He said, looking miserable and smoking a cigarette. Bad habit.

"Hello, Aiden." She answered back, coolly. Where the hell was Gabriel.

"So who is that guy? How long have you known him?" He blurted out. Vivian decided to twist another knife through his heart.

"Oh, well we've known each other forever. We got involved about three months ago." Vivien paused, to let that sink in. She knew Aiden would realize that was when they had still been dating. "So how are you, Aiden? How's Kelly?" she asked, with a fake smile.

"She's, well, she's-" Whatever he was about to day was drowned out by the motorcycle.

"Finally," she muttered, before raising her voice. "Bye, Aiden. Have a nice life." He didn't get a chance to answer, because Gabriel spoke up.

"He bothering you, babe?"

"No, sweetheart, come on, let's go. We've got another two hours before we get to any sort of bed." She deliberately emphasized bed, and saw one final flinch from Aiden before they pulled away.

"I don't like being used, Vivan." Gabriel said.

"Gabriel, when have I ever done anything like this? I just figured that he hurt me and I never did anything back to him. And it's not like I'm ever going to see him again, so what? You're the one that I want, now and always." She saw Gabriel smile. "So were you serious about the whole marrying thing?"

"I know we're bonded as wolfs, but I figured we'd make it official as humans. Once you're eighteen, of course." She nuzzled into his neck, letting him know that her answer had been true.

"Come on, wolfman. I want to show my thanks to you, but people might stare if I did it here. We have a while before we get to the inn." She ordered, feeling the chuckle that reverberated through his body, and seemed to transfer into hers.


As you can probably tell, I hate Aiden and think he's annoying! Go Gabriel, and go loup-garou! Who needs a meat-boy, any way?
