Yeah, that's the thing. The last few years have taught me something. I don't wanna best you, I don't wanna be ahead of you, or behind you. I want us side-by-side. And the moment I realized that I went in search of this. The fourth object. Which leads me to my question. Rebekah Mikaelson. Delicate as lace, elegant as a fine home, tough as polished steel, and love of all my lives, will you marry me?

The relationship between the Original vampire, Rebekah Mikaelson and the Upgraded Original vampire, Marcel Gerard.

Rebekah and Marcel have a passionate forbidden love. Although both of them have betrayed the other over the decades, they still love each other.

History[]

Rebekah and Marcel first met during Emil's funeral as Rebekah watched Klaus save Marcel. Marcel grew up with the Mikaelsons and developed feelings for Rebekah. They'd practice fencing together and Marcel had promised to marry her one day. As Marcel grew older into an adult, he still had feelings for her. One day, he tried to kiss her, but Klaus goes against it. Later, after Marcel swam in the Mississippi river and came back, he and Rebekah gave in to their feelings, but Rebekah feared what Klaus would do, but Marcel says he doesn't care, he'll die smiling. Klaus catches them and holds Marcel at the sword and daggers Rebekah for 52 years, but gives Marcel a choice; to undagger Rebekah and live out their years until he's an old man or to be a vampire. He choose to live forever as a vampire, leaving Rebekah daggered for 52 years.
