Hey guys :) tihi… blablabla… R&R :D oh, and here you go, an old chant I learned when I was a kid; "We are the boys who mess around with the girls' little mice, the trumpet feel so smooth between my legs, if you pull down my pants, you can see an axe, and axe who will do anything for a little 'wow'" hahaha… sorry, I just had to ;) it's better in Swedish xD
"Hey Tyler, what's up? Uh… I know I haven't really called or anything, but you haven't either so… uh, I just don't think we should lose track of each other just because *cough* Gilbert isn't here… so, let me hear from you! Bye… And it's Jeremy by the way!"
Tyler looked over at the answering-machine. When Jeremy had said Gilbert's name, his heart had… ached. He really missed the little life. He picked up the phone and dialed Jeremy's number. He answered immediately.
"Hey, I've been trying to reach you, but your cell phone doesn't work…"
"Yeah I know, I threw it in the ground so it's kinda broken"
"Of course… What did I expect?"
"Are you mocking me, Jeremy Gilb-… Jeremy?" the humorous tone suddenly disappeared when Tyler wasn't able to even say his name.
"Uh… Yeah, so do you wanna like, hang out?"
"Can't see why not"
They decide to drive off to some village and eat lunch (because they don't have a life) and Tyler picks up Jeremy. The love is flaming in his heart of the sight of his Jeremy.
"Hey man" says Jeremy and Tyler nod at him. As they are driving, Jeremy turns the radio on. "What are words" by Chris Medina is playing. Tyler actually likes the song, but he would never admit that.
"All girls and queers cry when this song plays." Tyler says and Jeremy chuckles and mumbles something about him being a 'prejudging bastard'. Tyler smiles. But then, a thought hit him. He had long ago accepted his love for Jeremy, but the speculations about his sexuality had he always pushed away. But was he really gay? Or was it only Jeremy? He glanced over at the boy in the passenger seat. The sun was glowing in his hair and, probably without thinking about it, Jeremy was singing along with Chris Medina. Tyler pushed the thoughts about his sexuality away and concentrated on having a good time with his Jeremy, who was more beautiful than life itself. Okay, stop thinking like a lovesick puppy. He smiles and keeps his eyes on the road. Jeremy looks over at him.
"Ey, what are you smiling about?" he says and grins. Tyler shrugs.
"Nothing. I'm just… I'm glad you called." he says and looks Jeremy in the eye and smiles. Not his usual sexy-werewolf-grin, just a calm and soft smile. Jeremy suddenly feels the urge to kiss Tyler on the cheek. He also notices that he'd been moving forward a little, so he pulls back.
"Well, someone had to make the first move" he says and turns the radio up louder to end the conversation.
After driving for 45 minutes, they arrived to the little village. They get out of the car and try to find a place to eat.
"So, how come you threw your phone in the ground?" Jeremy asks after a while when an almost tense silence had occurred. They kept walking and Tyler stared down into the street. After almost a whole minute, he answers.
"I was… frustrated about what happened to him" Tyler sighed and tucked his hands in his pockets. Jeremy heard how he avoided saying the name.
"To Gilbert?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Yes… Gilbert…" he smiles sadly. "Gilbert Jeremiah Lockwood… He was something special. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have become friends with you" he says and looks at Jeremy. Jeremy smiles at him and walks up close and wraps his arms around Tyler and hugs him tightly. Tyler's body tenses at the closeness and he doesn't know how to react.
"I have really missed you, Ty" Jeremy half-whispers and Tyler relax in his arms and hugs him back.
"I've missed you too" He says and tighten his grip around Jeremy. This is a rare moment that not is going to happen very often. They hug each other a little too long for it to be okay, and both know that it'll be embarrassing when they let go. But for now, all they can do is hold on.
"Oh man, that lunch was great!" Jeremy says and pats his stomach. Tyler agrees, the lunch had been wonderful, both the food and the company.
They've been driving for 15 minutes when the car broke down in the middle of nowhere.
"The fuck?" Tyler tries to fix the car and then Jeremy tries, but without any success. "We should probably call someone, but I don't have a phone" Jeremy pats at his clothes and looks for his phone everywhere, but no.
"Shit, I forgot mine at home" They stare at each other in despair and then they started to laugh. "We're so screwed!" Jeremy laughs and Tyler concurs.
"I will probably be able to fix this" Tyler said and took a look under the hood again.
"Wanna bet on it?" Jeremy said when he saw Tyler's confused look when he checked the engine.
"Sure, ten bucks." he said and hold out his right hand. Jeremy took it and shook it.
"Deal." he smiled.
They were sitting at the bus stop and waiting for the next bus to Mystic Falls. The situation was amusing to Jeremy, but Tyler was quiet and probably a little bit sulky because he wasn't able to fix the car. They bus arrives and they pay and look for somewhere to sit, but the bus is packed!
"Tyler!" a girl shouts and Tyler turns around and spots Ginger, a girl he banged many times. "You can sit in my lap if you want to" she says and winks at him.
"Are you sure? I'm kinda heavy…" Ginger rolls her eyes.
"I've had you on top of me at several occasions, I can handle it" she says and smirks. Jeremy blushes and feels a steam of jealousy spreading inside of him. Tyler settles himself in Ginger's lap and Jeremy stands before him. Ginger tries to get into their conversation numerous times, but Tyler only have eyes and ears for what Jeremy is saying. The road suddenly gets rocky and Jeremy stumbles into the girl standing behind him. He mumbles a 'sorry', and the girl smiles at him. She thinks that he's very cute, but also sexy and attractive and later that night would she masturbate to the memory of his body and the warmth when he bumped into her. No one would ever know though.
Tyler wrapped his arm around Jeremy's waist to keep him from stumbling into the girl again, and Jeremy was place with one leg in between Tyler's. It was embarrassing and neither of the boys looked at each other, but of course thinking about the other.
"That must have been the worst bus trip ever!" Jeremy sighs heavily and throws himself at the couch. Tyler sat down beside him. He had just finished a call to the tow truck that could pick his car up. Tyler sits down in the couch as well.
"Yeah, sorry about not letting you sit, but Ginger only offered her lap to me" he says and grins.
"Hm… you owe me ten bucks" Jeremy says and now it's his time to grin. Tyler sighs.
"Yeah, look in my wallet in my jacket's pocket, in the hall" he says and Jeremy gets up to grab the money. Tyler hears the rustle of paper.
"You got a lot of receipts here!" Jeremy calls from the hall. Tyler eyes widen. Oh SHIT-
"Jeremy, wait!" he says and throws himself out of the couch and into the hall…
Jeremy's POV
He found Tyler's wallet in his jacket pocket. He took it out and started to search for the cash. Tyler got a lot of receipts in here. One falls to the floor.
"You got a lot of receipts here!" he calls as he picks up the receipt. He looks at it.
"Jeremy, wait!" he hear Tyler shout, but he already started to read the receipt.
A bouquet of lilies
A coral rosebud
A card
A delivery
What the…?
Sorry if it'll take time before I update, but school is killing me! Hope you liked, and this chapter was written in a rush, so sorry for mistakes and typos! XOXO
