Jeremy sits watching the falls as he tosses back his sixth beer, the silence only broken by the roar of water and the crickets near by. Everyone he knows is at the grill. Elena with Damon and Stefan. Matt with Caroline. Jenna with Alaric. Hell he bets even Tyler has a girl or five with him.

Jeremy swallows the last of his beer and tosses it to the side with the others before opening another, taking a long drink he sets it aside and lights up for the first time in weeks, memories of Vicki crowding his thoughts as he blows smoke into the night air.

He nearly smiles remembering Vicki blowing smoke into his mouth, giving him that smile that was all Vicki as she led him over to sit down. He's never felt so alone as he does tonight, blowing smoke into the breeze while his family and friends are in town laughing it up.

He gasps, choking on smoke, when Tyler drops down next to him. Giving him an accusing glare Jeremy tries to stop coughing and catch his breath.

Snorting Tyler swipes his joint and takes a long hit, slapping him on the back before looking away. "I thought I'd find you out here"

Jeremy snatches the joint back and gives an exaggerated look over his shoulder. "Where's your harem?"

"Jealous Gilbert?" Tyler taunts.

"You wish Lockwood" Jeremy snorts watching from the corner of his eye as Tyler lays back propping himself up on his elbows. Shaking his head he sighs and grudgingly offers Tyler a beer.

Tyler arches an eyebrow and accepts the beer, popping the top as he watches Jeremy sit staring out at the water. "You didn't come to the grill"

"I'm surprised you noticed." Jeremy tells him dryly as he takes another hit and passes to Tyler.

"I figured you'd be all Mopey McBroody" Tyler shrugs.

"That's cute. You learn that from the catch of the day?" Jeremy taunts flicking him a quick smirk.

Tyler smirks back at him, staring long and hard as he blows smoke from the side of his mouth and passes back to him. Smirk growing when Jeremy fidgets under his stare and looks away.

They sit quietly, neither of them talking as they pass the joint back and forth between long drinks of beer, until Tyler takes a long hit and stubs it out.

"Hey!" Jeremy protests reaching for Tyler's hand.

Tyler ignores him. Grabbing a handful of Jeremy's hair he drags him down until they are mouth to mouth, Jeremy's startled gasp making it easier to shotgun the smoke to him, only slightly easing his grip as Jeremy relaxes against him.

Jeremy tries to turn his head to blow the smoke away but Tyler holds him in place as he slow releases the smoke, Tyler catching some of it before turning his head to blow it away. Jeremy blinks down at him hazily, leaning forward the slightest bit to feel the pull in his hair.

Tyler looks back up at him his hand tightening and slowly pulling Jeremy's head back, watching his eyes drift closed as he gasps. Somewhere in the buzz he's got going he thinks he should be surprised by the pulse of arousal.

Jeremy tugs against his hand to look down at Tyler, licking his lips he swallows a moan as Tyler's hand grips harder. "You can let me go now" He struggles to sound amused when his body is screaming don't let go.

Tyler's grip turns painfully tight, dragging him an inch closer as he stares up at him. Jeremy is rock hard so fast he's dizzy with it, swaying slightly as Tyler smirks and let's him go.

"Pass me a beer Gilbert." Tyler says leaning back.

Jeremy is so thrown by his reaction he instantly turns and grabs two beers, handing one to Tyler before opening his own and gulping it down. He tries to ignore Tyler at his side, leaning back to stare up at the stars as he tries to get himself under control.

Tyler curses next to him before grabbing a handful of hair and dragging Jeremy down to kiss him roughly, Jeremy halfheartedly resists before moaning and leaning closer. Somewhere along the way Tyler's lips soften against his and Jeremy sighs, hands tangling in his shirt.

Tyler rolls them sending Jeremy's beer tumbling away, laying heavily over Jeremy as he slides his hands under his shirt, humming when Jeremy arches into his hands.

Jeremy stops thinking, hands dragging Tyler's shirt up and off without his consent, legs wrapping around him to drag him closer. He rocks his hips up mindlessly, hands roaming down his back to curl around his ass.

Tyler moans, hands tugging at Jeremy's pants as he toes off their shoes,cursing when Jeremy pulls away.

Jeremy jerks back gasping for breath. "Damn it Tyler, I'm not gonna be your catch of the day" He growls out, hands clinging to him as he struggles to stop grinding into him.

"Who said I wanted you to Gilbert?" Tyler snaps back, gripping Jeremy's hip as he rocks against him.

"It's pretty hard to miss Lockwood" Jeremy moans, rolling his head back, losing the battle as he rocks under him.

Tyler takes advantage, lips closing on Jeremy's neck and sucking hard before whispering in his ear. "If I wanted the catch of the day I had plenty of options back at the grill."

Jeremy thinks of the girls always flocking to Tyler and growls kissing him possessively, hands dragging at Tyler's jeans, moaning when Tyler fists his hand in his hair again. He cant get over how good it feels.

They twist and squirm until they are pressed skin to skin, hips rocking desperately, gasping for breath between kisses. Tyler kisses his way to Jeremy's neck, sliding two fingers into Jeremy's mouth, moaning when Jeremy eagerly latches onto them.

Jeremy licks and sucks until Tyler think they are wet enough, Tyler shifts his weight, sliding his fingers over Jeremy's hole as he stares down at him. "Tell me you've never done this."

A thrill races through him at the demand. "Never. You're the first." Jeremy admits.

"The only" Tyler demands sliding a finger deep inside him.

"The only." Jeremy whispers, gasping when Tyler adds a second finger stretching him open.

Jeremy shouts when Tyler hits something inside him, hips rocking faster, desperate to feel it again.

"Shh" Tyler soothes, fingers angling to hit that spot again.

Jeremy whimpers when Tyler pulls away, watching him spit on his fingers before sliding three into him, moaning loudly as he fucks down on them.

"So eager Jere. So hot for it." Tyler whispers watching him fall apart as he twists his fingers stretching him as much as he can before pulling away to spit in his palm and stroke his cock.

"Have you.." Jeremy falters watching Tyler's hand stroke his long thick length.

"No" Tyler says leaning closer and lining up.

"Tell me" Jeremy says as Tyler presses against him.

"The only" Tyler assures as he slowly fills him.

Jeremy gasps at the stretch and burn, legs tightening around him as he tilts his head up for a kiss. He clings to him when he stops balls deep inside him, kissing softly as he lets Jeremy adjust.

Jeremy squirms under him, hips rocking to get Tyler to move, moaning when Tyler rolls his hips to meet him. Jeremy loses himself as they find a rhythm, sucking and biting his way over Tyler's neck until he takes a handful of Jeremy's hair and drags him into a kiss.

Jeremy whimpers into the kiss as he rides the edge, Tyler's hips snapping fast and hard, hitting his sweet spot with every thrust. Tyler's grip tightens just this side of too much as he drags his head back and bites his shoulder, hips stuttering as he comes inside him and Jeremy follows him screaming over the edge.

Jeremy stares up at the stars as Tyler lays over him, both of them trying to catch their breath. He holds onto Tyler lightly as it sinks in that he just gave himself to Tyler, hands caressing up and down his back, wishing he could stop time so he can have this for just a while longer.

He's afraid that any second now Tyler will smirk down at him, call him a slut and walk away laughing. He holds on tighter at the thought, biting his lip when Tyler presses a soft kiss to his shoulder.

"Shh. Not going anywhere Jeremy" Tyler tells him, turning to kiss him softly.

Jeremy's shoulder tingles where Tyler bit him and there is the slightest hint of blood mixed in with the taste of Tyler but Jeremy cant find it in him to care as he wraps his legs tighter around Tyler and rocks his hips wondering if he can tempt him to go another round.

Smiling softly Jeremy stares up at the moon as Tyler sighs and kisses his neck. He has a feeling he'll never be alone again.
