A/N: This chapter is mainly 2x05 with Tyler's POV

Tyler has been crushing on Elena's little brother since he was fifteen. At first he couldn't admit his feelings, then he couldn't stand them, so his hate towards those feelings became hate towards his crush. When he found out the latter had sex with Matt's sister he couldn't bare the thought of the guy he liked being with someone else, and the only way he found to push her away from him was dating her since he couldn't date him. Other than nice sex, there was other advantages in being with Vicky: he had a good excuse to hate Jeremy and he could see him being jealous everytime he kissed the girl in front of him. He liked that because he could imagine his crush was jealous of him, but also to make him suffer. He wanted him to feel the pain he was feeling because of him.

But as time went by and events were passing, he progressively gave up the hate and turned it into friendship.

He first realised how stupid being his enemy was at the career fair. When Jeremy came to check up on him, he was being so understanding, Tyler could have share the hell he was living through with someone else... But he punched him in the face, because what he actually wanted to do at this moment was kissing him, and he only found this way to hold it back. He regretted that a bit after, he realised Jeremy couldn't only make him suffer, that he could have brought something positive. So he tried to befriend him at a party but he got rejected, which he could totally understand, so he let it go. When he saw the younger boy at the Grill with another girl he decided to leave them alone this time, even though he was jealous. Plus he was being more pissed at his dad flirting with another woman than his mum.

Then Vicky died, when he found out he first felt sorry for Matt, and Jeremy. He realised that life was too short and didn't want him or his crush to die as his enemy. So he drove Jeremy to Matt's place and made peace with him. He also tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to do it. At least this time he didn't made his grief worse by sleeping with the girl he loved.

And finally his father died, and the only thing that could make him feel a bit better was the presence of the other boy. He was the only one who managed to cheer him up at the funeral. That day he was sick of hearing fake condolences from people he barely knew. Jeremy was real with him, he knew what it felt like, he knew what to say, he wasn't being an hypocrite and wasn't afraid to tell him his father was a dick. For the first time of the day he felt understood, and he could finally have a real and honest conversation. From that day Tyler knew he needed Jeremy more than ever, so he decided to start a real friendship with him. Even though he was afraid his feelings would show, he was ready to take the risk, finally.

Inviting the younger boy to his place with Aimee and Sarah was already a risk. The girls, or at least one of them, obviously wanted to hook up. He was afraid one of them would flirt with his crush, he would definitely be jealous! But after all, maybe Aimee went back on her decision. Maybe she regretted ditching Tyler at the lake and wanted to have sex with him. He was hoping that, she would be a nice distraction.

"Where is mine?"

Looks like he was right! He brought the girl to the room next to them and handed her a glass.

"Thanks for having us over. I think Sarah's got a thing for Jeremy"

It was so unfair, why could she have Jeremy and not him? He knew why: Jeremy's straight, Sarah is a girl, end of story. Tyler felt a pinch in his stomach, but he had to play cool.

"Well, good for Sarah"

Yeah, he envied her.

"Look, I'm really embarrassed for slating in up that day at the swimming hole. I'm really not like that, I promise you"

"You don't need to apologize"

"Friends?"

"Yeah, sure"

Tyler really hated when girls did that, he wanted her as a hook up and nothing more. Why would a "friendship" be of any consolation?

As they drank Tyler heard Sarah's annoying laugh, which became even more annoying now that he knew this laugh was used to seduce Jeremy. The older boy really hoped it wouldn't work.

He was tempted in checking the other room to see what was going on. Luckily he didn't need to since Sarah was the one who joined them in the other room to take Jeremy's notebook.

"Can I see?"

"No, no. No way" Jeremy answered as he was entering the room too.

"I want to see" Aimee said

What, was she flirting with him too? Tyler felt like he was in a competition. Even though he knew he could never win, even without any rival. Plus he also wanted to see Jeremy's drawings.

"Yeah, let's see. What's Van Gogh got going on?"

He was kinda proud of that last sentence, with this he pointed the fact that he knew this notebook was used for drawing, so that he was the one who knew him better. Plus calling him Van Gogh was a nice not-flirty compliment. Maybe he could after all have a friendship with his crush without getting busted.

Jeremy finally agreed "Okay, yeah. Check it out"

Tyler felt a bit flattered to see he was the one who changed Jeremy's mind. It probably meant he was the one he prefered in the room, even if it wasn't in a romantical way, he was glad about it.

But then his mind got totally somewhere else when he saw the drawing: wolves, only wolves! He tried not to think of anything that was linked to werewolves the entire day, and now he can only see that all over Jeremy's notebook!

"What's this about?" Tyler took the book from Sarah's hands and kept looking though it.

It didn't change: a muscular wolf, a wolf's face, a wolf's silhouette... What was that about, did Jeremy know? Was he involved somehow?

"Just some scratches. You still draw, Tyler?"

"A little but not much"

If he knew that all Tyler's been drawing these past few days were portaits of Jeremy!

"You know, I've got something I'm actually working on. Come on, I'll show you"

He had to find out, so he brought the younger boy to his father's office. This werewolf story drove him crazy, he hated it, he hated anything that was linked to it. For a short moment he transposed this hate into Jeremy. So he push him against the wall, holding him by the neck.

"What were those pictures about?" Tyler asked angrily

"I can't breathe"

He didn't care, all he wanted was answers: he wanted this over with right now!

"Answer to me! Why? Why wolf pictures?"

"Because… because I know"

"You know what? You know what Jeremy?!

"I know what you are"

Tyler let go off Jeremy, as he was watching the younger boy holding his neck he realised what he just did to him.

"God I'm sorry, I just panicked... How do you know about all this?"

As they were talking Tyler felt like he could more and more trust Jeremy. He was telling him everything: Mason, the curse... And his friend believed him, was listening, interested... Tyler realised that's what he needed all this time: someone else to talk to about werewolves. He could evacuate all of this, he never felt so close to anyone before, so trustful... So he showed him the moonstone, and the younger boy joined him on the couch. That moment was so amazing, he was alone with Jeremy, talking to him about his darkest secret without being judged! He even managed to make the other boy smile...

"Found you!"

"Hey, you guys are missing all the drinking"

Damn, he totally forgot about the girls! Why do they get interrupted everytime something's going between them at his father's office? First Mason at the funerals, now this...

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you two having a moment?"

"No, we're good" Of course he didn't mean it, he really wanted to kick the girls out and continue his talk with Jeremy.

"Hey, hey, what is that?"

As if Sarah wasn't annoying enough, she also had to take the moonstone from Jeremy's hand! So Tyler tried to grab it before her, but accidently grabbed the other boy's hand instead. During this brief contact he felt like electricity came from his crush's hand, which increased the pounding of his heart. He couldn't tell if it felt right or wrong but he knew he hated having that, that's why he always avoided contact with Jeremy.

But he didn't had time to stay confused, he had to take the damn rock back! And the girls really didn't make it easy, it may have been fun if they were playing with another object but this was the fucking moonstone they had in their hands! He had no idea what would happen if they made a mistake! But he also had to play cool with it, liking Jeremy and being in a family of werewolves were two secrets he really had to keep well.

"You're lucky you're cute when you're drunk" He says pretending to enjoy it a bit

"I want Jeremy to come get it"

Tyler really couldn't stand that she was keeping the moonstone AND flirting with Jeremy. This was becoming to be a personal affair.

"Give me a break!" Tyler says climbing the stairs where she was.

"Sarah, don't be a bad drunk" Aimee seemed to have abandonned the game

"Jeremy, come upstairs with me. See how a bad drunk I can be"

"I'm good, thanks"

Tyler was glad to find out Jeremy wasn't interested back in her, and seeing her disappointed face was really pleasing. But she still had the moonstone, and he had to take it back.

"Seriously, give it back"

He tried to take it from her hands but she really didn't let herself do. He tried to stay as calm as possible, to be the least violent he could be, damn, it was hard! And he failed: Sarah tripped and fell down the stairs. She was layed down, unconscious.

Hope she dies!

Oh my God, did he actually think that? How could he wish someone's death? On his hand? This thought came though his mind only during a split second, but Tyler was worried about it. Was it the jealousy? Or because she's been annoying him? Or was it the inner wolf that wanted to come out? He didn't want to become a werewolf, why is Sarah still not moving?

Thankfully, Sarah opened her eyes "Fooled you!"

Tyler wanted to punch her in the face for doing that.

"You pushed me on the stairs!" She continues

Tyler couldn't say anything, he was paralysed.

But Jeremy saved the moment "Look, he didn't mean it okay?"

Then he gave Tyler big judgy eyes as the two girls was walking away. Tyler looked at him back thinking "I know, but she didn't die, it's fine"

After that Jeremy came with the girls, leaving Tyler by himself. The latter looked at the moonstone he finally managed to get back. What it such a good idea to keep it? He was sick of the supernatural stuffs, and it wouldn't leave him if he didn't leave what was linked to it.
