Four week later

A knock came at Matt's door

"Hey man let me in" Tyler plead.

Matt grunted and looked at his phone in disbelief.

"Dude its 6 am on a Saturday what do u want?" Matt said a little groggy.

"Come for a run with me"

"No! Need sleep" Matt said as he turned back over and closed his eyes.

Tyler sighed and opened the door with the spare key Matt gave him.

"Dude you've been moping around for about a month what's going on?"

Matt tried to ignore him, but Tyler kept at it. He continued to badger him about his behavior and attitude this past month and told him he wouldn't stop until he spoke to him. Matt gave a cry of defeat and sat up.

"I've just been a little down that's all" Matt tried to force a smile but Tyler saw right through it.

"Look you're my best friend and you can tell me anything you know that right"

Matt nodded but kept from giving eye contact. Tyler could always tell if he was lying by looking into his eyes.

"Is it that Rebekah girl? I thought you guys were going great after that date you went on"

Matt look at him with a stunned face. "So nobody told you"

"Told me what" Tyler said a little annoyed about being out the loop.

"Rebekah is an original. Elena put her on ice, so I haven't been seeing her in a while"

"Wow, ok, I didn't know that" Tyler said trying to digest this information.

"But even before her, you were feeling more down than usual" Tyler said trying to uncover the mystery that is Mathew Donovan.

Then, Matt got up and went to the kitchen. He started the coffee machine and opened his fridge.

Did u want some breakfast?"

Tyler huffed in disappointment this time realizing the change of subject.

"Look Matt, I know something has you messed up, and I just want to help. You can trust me and whenever you feel like talking about it just know I'm here" Tyler said giving a warm smile.

"Umhum" is all Matt could muster up.

"And no breakfast for your fat ass, get some shoes on where going for a 5 mile run!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Tyler decided to call it quits after the 2nd mile. Matt was so pathetic n his attempt to run which made Tyler laughing until tears fell down his face.

"I'm glad I can bring you such joy" Matt said trying desperately to get his breathing under control.

"Look man, it's obvious that you need help in more ways than one" Tyler started cracking up again.

Matt rolled his eyes and continued walking. When Tyler finished his laugh marathon, he caught up to him and they decided to make a pit stop at the Grill. Matt was in no condition to walk home after that embarrassing run.

As soon as they walked in, they immediately caught the attention of Caroline.

"Tyler! Matt! Over here!" She yelled as she waved her hand frantically in the air.

She was sitting with Elena who seem to be bothered by something, but he figured it was girl stuff.

"Hey babe" Tyler said to Caroline has he place a kiss on her forehead.

"Good morning fellas" she replied back.

"What are you guys doing up this early" Elena asked in an attempt to forget whatever was bothering her.

"Went out for a run... or at least one of us did, right Matt" Tyler once again laughed has he replayed the memory of Matt's failure earlier.

Just then Rebekah came in and immediately glared at Elena. She came up to the table and turned her attention to Matt.

"Good morning you" Rebekah said placing a warm smile on her face trying to be cute.

"Hey Rebekah long time no see" Matt said a little nervously wondering how she got un- daggered.

"I know, I was rather… held up for a while. But now I'm free" she said as she glanced at Elena giving her a menacing smile.

"Look my mother is throwing a ball tonight and I will be honored if you were the one to escort me". She handed him the invitation and he accepted it.

"It will be my pleasure" Matt replied giving her a hearty smile.

"Great it's a date! See you later Matty"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Later that evening

As Matt drove to the address flawlessly printed on his invitation, feelings of fear and anxiety over whelmed him. He did not know how a party planned by vampires was going to turn out, but he was already committed to it.

As he parked his truck behind a tree he stepped out and every feeling of dread was replace by awe. Everywhere he looked, he saw how wonderfully decorated the house was. Everybody was in there beautiful party gowns and there was just good positivity in the air. Or it was until he saw Damon walk towards him.

"What are you doing here" Damon said through a forced smile as people walked around him.

"And hello to you to. Dick." Matt gave him a look of disbelief as he tried to walk past him, but Damon grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Look I'm sorry" Damon said trying to calm him down.

"Sorry does not explain what you did… or avoiding me this past month. There was a devastated look on Matt's face that was absolutely heart breaking. Damon didn't realize until then what a complete ass he has been.

"I know, I know, things have been pretty… hectic. We don't know what these Originals are planning and now there recently resurrected witch of a mother has joined their little club. I don't trust them or this party. You should leave while you can still can." Damon didn't notice he was running his fingers thought Matt's hair. Something he missed so much.

"I'm here on a date with Rebekah, a person who does push me away!" Damon immediately stopped playing with Matt's hair and took a step back from him.

"Well she might push her fangs into your neck if you make one false move. She along with the rest of her family are dangerous and can't be trusted" Damon pleaded with Matt.

"Oh ok, I guess like you". There was a brief moment of silence as both boys digested what had been said. "Whatever Damon, I'm going in whether you like it or not" Matt said as he started to walk away.

"Please Matt, I'm begging you" Damon put up his hands like he was making a prayer. "Just listen to me and go home, I promise I'll come by tonight and explain everything to you, but now you need to go!"

Just as Matt opened his mouth to contest, Rebekah was standing at the door calling his name.

"Matty, over here" Rebekah called with an overly excited grind plastered on her flawless face.

"What did she just call you" Damon said through clenched teeth obviously not amused by her using the nickname he gave to matt during one there intimate moments.

Matt just rolled his eyes at him and walked towards his date

"You look absolutely stunning…

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After Klaus announced it was time for the waltz, Damon rush over to where Matt's sent was. He thought that Matt made his point and now it was time for him to leave. He couldn't stop Elena from visiting Esther if he was constantly worried about Matt's safety.

Just as soon as Matt came into his view, Elena grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the dance floor.

"You're letting your feeling get in the way" Elena said not wasting any time.

"What are you talking about" Damon said nervously, thinking that his secret was out.

"You are letting your feelings for me cloud your judgment. I need to see Esther". Damon let out a sigh of relief. Elena continued unaware of Damon's action. "She might still be on our side, she can help us kill Klaus and I can get my life back".

Damon had lost all romantic feeling for Elena and the kiss hey shared at the motel a while ago confirmed it. "I don't want you to get hurt …"

Just as he was about to finish his sentence he saw Matt. He dance flawlessly and the suite he was wearing really complimented his body. The light from the chandelier was radiating off of him making him stand out among all the others. He was absolutely breath taking. And when he heard Matt let out a hearty laugh and flashed those pearly whites, his heart skipped a beat. It was then he knew what a mistake he made by leaving him a month ago. But all those warm feelings were replaced by hate and jealousy as he saw Matt's dreamy baby blue eyes stare at Rebekah and not at him. He started to grunt when Elena pulled him out of his little world.

"Hey, Damon, what's going on? Why are you staring at Rebekah? We do not need to draw attention to ourselves".

"Yeah, you're right, my bad" Damon gave a warm smile as they continued the waltz.

When the dance was over and the other couples were leaving the dance floor, Elena took Damon's hand and led him to a room away from the crowd. As they stepped in the room they were meet by Stefan who had a wicked grin on his face.

"What is this?" Damon asked in a shocked tone.

"I need to see what Esther wants." Is all Elena said.

And before Damon could react Stefan vamp speed over to him put him a head lock and broke his neck. Darkness following that.

When Damon came too, he saw Stefan who still had that same wicked grin on his face.

"Have you lost your damn mind?!" Damon said, fury written all over his face.

"No, I did what needed to be done. And look" Stefan pointed out the window to a happy Elena talking to Elijah. "She's safe and nothing happened to her…" Damon absorbed the information and just stared at her just to make sure what he seeing was true

"The real concern, Damon, is you"

Damon brought his attention to Stefan "And what could you possible mean by that baby brother" Damon gave a smirk trying to cover up the worry that was slowly consuming him.

"I saw the way you looked at Matt Donovan during the dance"

Damon stood still making sure not to move a single muscle.

"The only time I saw you look at somebody which such love and admiration was for…" Stefan scratch his head in mock confusion

"Oh yeah, Katherine Pierce"

Damon changed the look on his face from blank to mad fury.

"You stay the hell out of my business Stefan" and with that, he stormed out the room.

He knew Stefan was on to him, but he couldn't care less at this moment. Matt was gone and he didn't know where he was.

Damon searched the whole house and was going to give up as he saw people starting to leave.

Just then, he heard someone call Matt's name.

8888888

Just as Matt was about to walk out the house, he heard someone whisper his name.

He went out to the balcony and stuck his neck out around the corner.

As he was about to turn

"Good evening, you must be Rebekah's friend?" this mysterious person let out a hand and a warm smile

Matt returned the smile and took his hand

"Matt Donovan"

"Kol Mikaelson"

Just then Kol tighten his grip on Matt's hand and preceded to break every bone as his grip turned into a great crushing force.

"Please!" Matt begged, he dropped to the floor as the pain he was enduring became too much. "Stop! Let go! Matt screamed and tears began to fall from his face when he felt the over- whelming pressure leave his hand and opened his eyes to Kol going over the banister.

"Hey are you ok?" Damon asked has he took Matt's hand in his and brush his hair with his other.

"It hurts so bad" Matt said through clutched teeth.

Damon looked around to make sure nobody was around, bit into is hand, and push it into Matt's mouth. "Drink it, it will heal you, trust me" Damon said giving him a warm smile trying to cover up his thoughts on murdering Kol for what he did.

Matt took his hand and drank the blood and with each gulp he felt his hand going back to normal, in fact, it felt better than ever.

"Thank you" Matt said feeling eternal greatly for Damon showing up and saving him. He wasn't sure what would happen if he didn't show.

Damon smirk and said "No problem Matty" as he took his thump and wiped the blood that was lingering on Matt's lip.

Damon then smirked and gave him a look of I told you so.

"Just take me home" Matt smiled and huffed in defeat.

"Damon!" Elena yelled from the level below them. "What did you do?!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Damon decided to drive Matt home in his truck while Stefan took his car to drive Elena home.

As they drove, Damon filled Matt in about the Originals and his theories on what they are doing here.

After a while, Damon reached over to Matt and grabbed his hand.

"I'm really glad you're ok.

Matt blushed and readjusted himself in the passage seat of his car.

"Thanks Damon. I don't know what I would've done without you"

"Only be lost forever"

They both laughed they continued to go back and forth on playful banter, but something was still bothering Matt, Damon could tell.

"A penny for your thoughts Matty" Damon said briefly turning his attention to Matt as he gave a grin.

"Why'd you leave like that?"

Damon signed knowing full well Matt was not going to give that up. "Your blood was talking to me" Damon smirked.

"Excuse me" Matt asked not trusting his ears.

"I was so close to draining you dry the last time we were together" Damon said tying to focus on the road, ashamed that he felt that way.

"That's why you jumped to the ceiling" Matt said finally putting the puzzle together.

"And now" Matt asked uneasily, unsure of what his answer with be.

Damon just looked at Matt and continued down the road.

As they pulled up into his drive way Matt made his way to his front door and opened it. When he turned around he saw Damon just standing by the car.

"Aren't you going to come in?" Matt asked

"I don't think that's a good idea"

"Look if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be inviting you in" Matt said as he stood to the side of the door way and put a hand out gesturing Damon to come in.

Damon slid past Matt and made his way to the couch.

Matt went to his bedroom and stripped himself of that monkey suit he had on.

He came out with a plain white t and some plaid pajama pants.

"Do vampires drink hot chocolate?" Matt asked as he giggled at how lame he might be sounding.

"Um yeah" Damon looked up and saw Matt's muscles and how the t wrapped itself perfectly around Matt's body to show off every bit of his perfection. Damon was beyond himself turned on by how sexy Matt look in regular clothes.

"But, but, um" Matt chuckled as Damon continued to stutter. Damon stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath "thanks but no thanks".

"Ok" Matt took a seat next to Damon and grabbed the remote.

"Maybe I should be headed home, you look comfortable and I don't want to impose"

As Damon got up to leave, Matt put the remote down and grabbed his hand.

"I don't want to sound like a chick, but can you stay with me, I'm still freaking out about what went down earlier. I still don't know why he…" Damon put a finger to Matt's lips as he saw the young but starting to get worked up. When Matt started to breath normally again, Damon contemplating on staying or going when Matt grabbed his coat and pulled him back down on the couch.

He then caressed his cheek and moved in a little closer. Damon took a deep breath and let Matt's delicious sent consume all his senses. He felt an over whelming hunger take over him.

His fangs popped out and his eyes went all black vamp like.

He quickly turned away not wanting Matt to see the monster he really was.

"Matt don't tempt me, I don't know if I can control myself"

Matt took his chin and faced him back towards him.

"Just relax Damon, breathe through it. I know you won't hurt me." Matt place his thumb right under Damon's eyes to where those black veins show. You're not dangerous to me.

With those words and that beautiful warming smile only Matt could give, Damon's eyes went back to those beautiful blue orbs Matt loves and his fangs retreated back into his mouth.

"It isn't wise to test a vampire like that Matt" Damon smirk when he finally got his hunger under control.

Matt chuckled and began to caress his chin again this time slightly licking his lips showing Damon he wanted to kiss.

Damon smirked and Matt went in and firmly placed his lips on Damon's. Those amazing fireworks were there just like the last time. Matt and Damon kissed hungrily and clawed at each other like they haven't seen each other for ages.

This time Matt took the initiative of getting on Damon's lap and began to straddle him as he let Damon's tongue enter his mouth for another intimate dance.

Just as Matt pulled away to catch his breath, he kissed down Damon's neck making him moan in pleasure. "Yes Matty, just like that" Damon said with his voice full of lust and passion.

Things were getting heated pretty fast and all the clothes Damon had on was only getting in the way.

As Damon was kissing along Matt's jaw line, Matt turned his attention to his suite jacket forcing it off him. He then re-positioned himself so that he was looking face to face with him. Damon captured his lips in another mind blowing kiss. But Matt was on a mission. Matt moved his hands down Damon's shoulder and onto his tie. He loosened it and felt the silk like cloth fall to the ground.

"Somebody moving fast" Damon said as he smiled against Matt's lips

"Or not fast enough"

Damon could not ignore the fact of there being two hard cocks rubbing against each other in hopes of coming out to play to. But he wasn't sure if Matt was ready.

Just as he felt Matt move off his lap a little so that his hand can travel down south, his phone began to ring.

"Ignore it" Matt said trying desperately to get Damon's pants undone, but Damon took his hands in his.

"Somebody might be trying to get a hold of you Matty"

Matt huffed loudly as he stalked toward his cell phone.

"Don't. Go. Anywhere." Matt instructed before he answer the phone

"Hello… hey Ty… yeah I know, crazy party… yeah bro, I'm fine"

As Matt con his conversation, Damon wanted to gather his belongings, but it seems like Matt purposely flung them around the room.

He gave a smirk as Matt was concluding his conversation

"…Alright man see you on Monday" Matt signed as he put the phone on silent.

"He was just checking up on me" Matt said wanting to clarify what that was.

"Now where were we?" Matt asked seductively.

"You should be getting some rest" Damon said grabbing his tie of the floor and placing it in his coat pocket.

"Or…" Matt walked towards Damon pushed him back down on the couch and grinded on him like before. "We can go back to what we were doing."

Damon giggle as he easy lifted the quarterback off of him and placed him on the couch next to him.

"Or my young Matty, we can talk"

Matt gave a sigh of defeat. He can't very well challenge a vampire who is able to lift him up without even thinking about it.

"Ok Damon Salvatore, what would you like to talk about"

"Everything" Matt giggled "Like your friend Tyler, tell me about him"

Matt started to talk about Tyler which led into a whole conversation about his life, his dreams, and his goals. They talked for hours and Damon was in complete happiness as he basically got a PhD in everything Mathew Donovan.

They soon fell asleep, Damon lying down with Matt snuggled on top safely in his arms.
