"Hey Gilbert! Wait up, man" Jeremy turned at the sound of his last name being called and grinned watching Tyler jog towards him. Lately he had the sickening urge to smile at every little thing Tyler did. It reminded him of being around Vicki or Anna, he gave Jeremy a desire to smile. This past week they spent a whole night sitting by the Lockwood swim hole talking, just talking, and it felt nice. "What do you want, Lockwood?" He asked lacing his tone with fake annoyance. Tyler looks cute when he smiles; he thought weirding himself out. Lockwood was not cute; he had a cute smile… Maybe but/he/ cute? Never!
"I need your help with something are you up for it?" Jeremy scowled at the floor before nodding "What kind of something? You do know I don't do" He trailed off looking around the school ground before moving closer to Tyler adding with a whisper "drugs anymore, right?"
Tyler burst out in chuckles putting his hand over Jeremy's shoulder. "That was so cute!" He let out absentmindedly. Jeremy rose an eyebrow before pushing Tyler's hand away. "Dick" He muttered before turning to walk away from Tyler.
"Wait don't go!" Tyler let out as he took Jeremy's hand. Looking down he quickly let out but not before giving it a small squeeze. "I didn't mean it in a mocking way" he explained avoiding Jeremy's gaze. "You really looked cute but never mind that" he added with a shrug. "You know about me right" Tyler stated with a nod. Not waiting for an answer he continued. "After the first change wolves chose a mate. It happens to everyone of us and uh my wolf chose someone" Jeremy watched as Tyler fumbled for the right words and looked slightly flushed. Jeremy laughed "Ah I get it! You're freaking out cause your new mate is an ugly girl"
Now it was Tyler's turn to scowl and roll his eyes at his mate. Yup his mate, he thought it be best he called him that from now on since he was about to tell him. "Oh yeah! My mate is a girl called Jeremy Gilbert" He spat watching as Jeremy sobered up with wide eyes. Fingers tighten around Tyler's arm making him stop. "Are you serious?" Tyler could feel a world of emotions coming from Jeremy. Confusion, anger, happiness he could even feel a dash of excitement but he wasn't sure. He was as new as Jeremy at being mates and sadly it didn't come with an instruction manual.
"Elena" Tyler called out to the brunette. "What do you want, Tyler?" She snapped as her vampire boyfriend shook his head with a grin. Damn woman and her attitude! She was like a bulldog or something…. Or something cause she was hot and bulldogs were fucking ugly. She was like a pocket Chihuahua or something, Bonnie was a pit-bull hands down but one of the pure breed gorgeous ones and Caroline was a golden retriever. Anyway back to the topic he was hunting down Elena because Jeremy was ignoring him. After their talk last Tuesday he stormed out without giving Tyler a chance to explain. It's not like he pointed with his paw then pissed over Jeremy and then BOOM! Instamates! No it was a complex process based on the persons hormones and their nature. It was a lot of complicated stuff and Tyler would explain if only he gave him a chance. "I need to speak with Jeremy" he told her with urgency. "He doesn't wanna talk to you, so stop" She said in a menacing tone before stomping into the Grill. "Dammit!" He watched Stefan eye him with a grin "What" he almost growled at the vampire. "'The curse of true love never did ran smooth' William Shakespeare. Give it time" He stated before disappearing into the Grill.
"Stupid vampires and their fucking mystery" Tyler muttered making his way towards his truck.
