Merry Christmas. I bought gifts!

@Asher <3

---

It was hard. This year had been one of the most challenging and yet amazing she had had in long time. It was no secret that Abigal became a mother in the beginning of this month. But getting out of the house was a main priority as well, a lot of things happened there. And after giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Abigals ability had been activated again.
To distract herself she has discovered thanks to the internet, that her father was dating again. It wasn’t because she didn’t approve of that, but she wanted to make sure he didn’t get hurt. Some would claim it wasn’t her job to make sure of that, however Abigal never really had cared much for other people’s opinion of her actions.
She had been to visit her father to let him meet and spend the day with his granddaughter, while Abigal had ‘borrowed’ his phone to invite this new handsome stranger on a date. Of course Asher didn’t know Abigal was behind it. But she invited him to a hike on the top of the mountain. There she had gotten some of the servants to put a lot of food and drinks.
Abigal sat in a chair, wearing a pair of black jeans and a white blouse. Her hair slight curled and a glass of wine in her left hand. As soon as she heard someone and the person she waited for walk in, she smiled.
“ Well hello to you. You most be.. Asher,” she didn’t get up, only crossed her leg by putting it on top of the other. “Come and sit. We have so much to talk about. I’m Abigal.. Abigal Mikaelson. Alexander’s daughter.”

Asher had been at home in the apartment Alexander owned, seeing as he was still homeless of some sort, but he was seeking jobs, even having some options, now that some scouts had taken a hold of him, asking him to model for them. He didn´t know what he wanted out of life, but he knew that he wouldn´t want to be a bother for Alexander, and he still owned him for the phone he had gotten, but insisted he paid back some day. He looked at his phone as a message ticked in, and he couldn´t help but smile, as he saw the message, but the location seemed kind of.. sketchy?, but then again.. in the mountains.. alone with Alexander, on a date?, what kind of date did he have in his mindset. He took on some of the clothing and adjusted it to fit, before he made a spell, that made Alexander´s clothing fit him, as he looked into the mirror. He really needed to buy something, instead of borrowing from Alexander.

He walked most of the way, before he called a cap, getting him to the destination, so he didn´t have to walk all that much. * Wow.. *. He had never been here, not even near it. He was happy that he had ended up ordering a cap, but this, was much. As he finally reached the place, he looked at it, before looking quite stunned... it wasn´t Alexander waiting for him, it was a woman?.

" Yes? ". He tilted his head a little. " A pleasure meeting you Miss Mikaelson ". He looked at her, as he heard the word of Alexander on her lips, as he sat down as instructed. He looked quite shocked, as he sat there, face to face with the woman.. clearly.. older than he was. * Fuck.. *.
He smiled a little nervously, as he gathered his hands in his lap, before he said while figeting with his hands a little, as he let the steel grey eyes look at the woman in front of him. Apparently.. beauty was something that family was just bestowed with. " So.. i take it, that Alexander isn´t coming. Am i right? ".

She really didn’t knows what to expect from this meeting. At least the guy was good looking. Abigal smiles politely at him after he greeted her. He followed her instructions, which was a good thing. It was a sign of a young man not wanting any trouble. She had had her fair share of dealing with more dominant types, also men who didn’t like that a woman told them what to do. Of course these meetings never really ended good. A small giggle left the banshees lips, “bingo” she confirmed his theory. Abigal took a sip of the wine and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the taste.
“See, and don’t take this the wrong way. I just like to make sure that people are ‘worthy’ of my father.” She put the glass down on a little table next to her, and folded her hands on top of her thighs. “ So to not waste my precious time of yours for that matter,” she looked him in the eyes. Eye contact was worth much to her, and especially if she wanted you make use of her other ability. “What are your business with the crown? And my father?” She lifted her brow slightly to prove it was a serious question.

He looked down at his hands for a moment, as he looked up towards Abigal, when she started talking about making sure that people were worthy of her father. He looked down a little at the setup in front of him, as he gently touched the silverwear for a momnt, before he looked up at her again, as he catched her eye contact, not breaking it, as he waited for her question.
" I have no business with the crown. Believe it or not, but i´m from America. When i met your father, i didn´t even know that he was royalty. I saw him a couple of times in a local bookstore i go to sometimes ". He couldn´t help but look a little away, as he smiled gently, just the thought of Alexander there, how they had met but even before that. There had always been something.. so aesthetically pleasing about him, not just his look but his aura, the way he carried himself. He looked up, as he said " Oh, sorry i.. ehm ". he adjusted his coat, as he looked at her once more, before he said " I.. i´m a witch, and he is my soulmate, but.. i have a rather bad experience with that.. not that i have ever had another name on my body, but.. i don´t believe in a mark telling me who to love, but i also couldn´t deny the feelings and the pull i got from him in the first meetings but.. i dont know ". He took a deep breath, as he felt he rambled on, before he looked down a little, as he looked up towards her with a serious expression.

" To love him. That´s my business.. i just want to be a part of his life, to love him, to show him love, no matter if his feelings should ever change. I don´t have any ulterior motives, and i am definitely NOT worthy of his time, which is why i ran from him, until.. i saw the hurt it caused him, so i have decided to stay, for my own selfish reasons, but also for his. Because i love him ". He looked at her, not moving a muscle, he was serious about Alexander, so serious that he had bond himself to him forever, and he wasn´t planning on ever letting him go, in the way that he would end up alone.. if he didn´t want him someday, then he would just take it as it was.. but he wanted to show him love, he himself had not needed it, not before he had felt Alexander´s love.. how wholesome it had felt. He scratched his neck a little, as he said " I admire the love you have for your father, wanting to protect him. He is a great man, a caring and loving soul, he isn´t JUST a crown prince in my eyes, in my eyes he is and will always be Alexander, the one i love and respect. Not that i don´t see his royal birth, but.. people are more than crowns and titles ".

Asher narrowed his eyes a little, as he heard her comment. " True. But just because it is, does not make my words untrue or not hold the weight they do ". He clenched his jaw a little, as he looked at her, hearing her words, taking them ind and really listening to them. When she asked if he even knew who he was or what was in his heart, he couldn´t help but feel a little offended. Of course he didn´t know all of it, which was why they were only dating. He narrowed his eyes a little once more, as he said " I dont know. I cant know for sure, if i would be able to sacrifice everything.. for the crown. I would sacrifice everything for Alexander however.. ". He looked at her, before listening to the last thing she said.

" I will be willing to sacrifice everything, for your father, not the crown, as i stated once before, i dont care about positions, or titles. I could even be a secret from everyone and i wouldn´t care.. as long as i can be with him, and he is happy with me ". He sighed, as he got up, before he said " I understand your concern for him, and it´s very admirable, but no matter what i say, i get the feeling, that it wont be either the right answer or enough for you. Only actions speak louder than words. And whatever you may say, i WONT change my mind. I will stay by your father´s side, as long as he will have me ".

"You can't avoid the crown," she mumbled in a little sigh. He was young, she couldn't blame him if he began to be frustrated with her. "You should care," she pointed out when he said he didn't care. It wasn't because she didn't like the fact that he looked away from it. But if he wasn't able to see the whole picture, she was scared that once if emerged it would be too much for him to handle. The press could be a handful, not only to add the scroll of kidnappings and killings that had happened to the people who were associated or called with the name Mikaelson. Abigal looked at him as he got up and raised a brow a little. "You clearly don't know me then," she got up and crossed her arms.
"I'm not trying to change your mind. I believe in love is free for whoever to take it. He has a family who loves him very deeply, myself included. Children who died and now have come back. He is a good man so yes I want what is best for him," she took a step closer.
"You try to stand your ground a lot, I'm not here to just hear your out. I'm here to take a look at you.. Despite how I chat right now, I like to see myself as a fair woman.. with great hair of course," she walked over and took her glass again. "Take something to drink, you aren't going to let a woman drink alone are you?"

Asher looked a little stunned, as she took a step forward, as he heard her words. He had listened alot and he understood it, but he also felt a little attacked... but not in a way that made him irritated, just.. sad in a way. He didn´t need or feel the need for acceptance, but he still didn´t feel like being attacked either, but maybe she was right.. it could become too much, and he should care about the crown also. He had been on the poor side of wealth all his life, so when he once again sat down, he looked at her a little, as he said " I´m not really an alcohol type of person ".

He didn´t really feel like drinking, but he wouldn´t mind keeping her company. " Do you do this with everyone he has dated, or am i just the lucky one ". He smiled a little, as he sighed, before adjusting his own hair a little with his hand, as he looked at the drink in front of him, before he took a little but not much, before crossing his arms, as he looked at her once again. " So tell me.. i want to know more about you, know that you know a little about me ".

"You are not the alcohol type of person?" She giggled a little while shaking her head, "I'm sorry... this family is gonna drown you.. Alcohol is in our blood, like.. I think my father might have it from his mother.. im not sure," she looked a little thoughtful to the side. Abigal was known to love wine and parties. Her father was known to love parties and alcohol. It wasn't really something the world didn't know.  His question made her lift her shoulder a little.
"I do, when I'm home. Other times I get people to kidnap or sorry wrong choice of word; to take people to me. I usually stay in Italy.. this year has been a bit longer a stay than I first expected it to," she ran a hand through her hair and tilted her head a little to the side afterwards. "Of course there is one or few who I never really had the talk with... but I mean, now I can just send my ghost squad after you all," she smiled brightly at Asher as it was the most innocent tale she just had told. "I am a banshee.. I live with my daughter and my husband here in Gaia.  Drinking wine is a passion of mine, and a good book never scares me away," she told as she flashed a smile at him.

Asher looked a little at her, before he leaned forward a little, with his elbows placed on his knees and his hands folded underneath his chin, as he smiled gently and asked " So if books dont scare you away, which are your favorite genre of books, and why.. and do you have a favorite book or series of books ". He smiled, as he just sat there looking at her and then enjoying the wiew from time to time, as he looked down at his phone, as to not miss out if Alexander was to write to him. They both had such fiery souls, making them sometimes clash, but they obviously clashed because they loved each other so much. He sighed, as he thought about Alexander, about the future.. there was such a heavy burden on him already, but he didn´t feel it weighting him down at all.. but what he felt.. and what he feared, was if he could ever be the man to make Alexander happy, seeing as he had made him hurt that one time in the club.. would he end up making screw ups.. maybe Alexander would actually leave him in the end.. dump him.. make him yearn to break the bond, break whatever they had. He sighed, as he tried to push the dark thought to the side.

No matter what Alexander would end up choosing some day, if that day ever would happen.. he would still stay with him.. be there for him, as long as he wanted him by his side. He looked at her for a moment, as he said " He´s very.. vulnerable isnt he ". He gently stroke his chin, as he sighed and closed his eyes, before he felt emotions just rush over him for a moment. " And precious.. like he acts sometimes like a man that can take on the whole world, but he is so easily hurt, so easily broken.. and he doesn´t show it, before it comes to an unhealthy point. I cant believe that people have hurted him so much, but.. i also believe in the pain i have seen in his eyes.. i dont wanna add to that pain, ever... ".
